AN: Finally, one more theme after this and I'm done. Luckily I had time before my driving class to write something up.

This was originally going to be 43. Dying involving a DS Lite dying on Lucas and Nana while they were playing a game, but I couldn't make it work. So I decided to go for something much cuter. Enjoy!

"What's wrong with Nana?" Lucas asked his close friend.

The two blonds were talking about the upcoming Rabbids game when they noticed the female ice climber run past. Lucas saw her wiping her eyes and heard her sniffle. His heartstrings tugged at the notation of sweet and adorable Nana being upset about something.

"Ness told me that he's finally admitted to Paula he like likes her. Maybe...maybe Nana like liked Ness?" Toon Link replied.

"That's right...Nana told me she had a crush on Ness...but she got hurt from it," Lucas thought. "Poor Nana..." he said aloud.

"Yeah...anyway, from what I heard..." Toon Link jabbered on. Lucas was half paying attention and half wondering what might cheer Nana up.

"What do girls like?" he wondered.

Later, when Toonie had left Lucas alone, Lucas went to go see his 'substitute mother'. He needed advice about girls that only another girl could give and he knew his substitute mother wouldn't tell anyone else.

Luckily for Lucas, she was alone (which was rare, since she was either with her 'Gruesome Foursome' group or with Peach). He found her in the living room reading. She looked up from her book and smiled as Lucas climbed on the couch.

"Hey sweetie."

"Hi Zelda," Lucas replied, hugging her. Zelda, in response, put her arm around Lucas and stroked his hair. "Um...I need some help..."

"Sure." Zelda put a bookmark between the two pages she was reading and set her book aside. "Is something wrong?"

"Not with me. But you see..." Lucas looked around nervously, not wanting anyone else to hear this, but the only other smasher in the room was Kirby and he was sleeping. "Um...Nana's sad. She really liked Ness, but Ness like likes his friend Paula. So now Nana is sad and I want to cheer her up. But I don't know what girls like. What should I do?" Lucas asked.

"Oh Lucas, that's sweet of you," Zelda said. She thought hard and added, "Well...girls do like flowers. Maybe if you gave her some, she will cheer up."

"Hmmm...flowers..." Lucas thought about it and remembered that his dad always used to give his mom flowers. She always looked so happy with them as well and the little boy brightened up right away. "Good idea! Thanks, Zellie!" he said, slipping off the couch. "Oh yeah...one more thing..." Lucas said, remembering something else.

"Yes?"

"Um...can you keep this a secret? Nana only told me she liked liked Ness and not anyone else," Lucas said.

"My lips are sealed," Zelda replied.

Lucas smiled, thanked Zelda again and ran outside. There were plenty of flowers around here but the most colourful ones were in the flowerbed that Peach, Olimar and Ivysaur planted. Without even thinking, Lucas started picking some and didn't stop until he had a handful of various red, white, yellow, blue and purple flowers.

"I bet these will make her happy!"

Eager to see Nana smile again, Lucas raced back inside. He passed Popo, Ness, Toonie and Diddy Kong playing on the Wii and he felt relieved Popo wasn't going to be in the room as well. That would have made things...awkward.

Lucas got to the door with the eggplant symbol and knocked, hoping that Nana wouldn't turn him away.

"Who is it? I really just want to be alone right now!" Nana's voice called.

"Nana, it's, um...L-Lucas. I've got something for you!" Lucas called back nervously.

Silence. Then Lucas heard a shuffling sound and the doorknob turned. Nana stood in front of him and stared at him through red rimmed eyes. Without a word, Lucas handed her the flowers and blushed.

"L-Lucas!" Nana's eyes widened. She took the flowers from him and blushed as well. "W-Wow...thank you..."

"I-It was no problem!" Lucas said, rubbing the back of his head.

"But...why?" Nana asked curiously.

"Because...um...because I wanted to cheer you up!" Lucas replied. Nana smiled and Lucas felt a rush of triumph.

The moment was soon broken by Peach screaming, "WHO PICKED FLOWERS FROM THE GARDEN?"Nana and Lucas looked at each other in fear.

"Here!" Nana opened the door up more and let Lucas inside. "She'll never find you here!" Lucas eagerly accepted the invitation, grateful to be able to hide from Peach's wrath.

-giggles- Wasn't that cute?

Ah, remember the days when we used the term 'like like' to describe a crush? I miss being a kid.

By the way, if you read my oneshot A Mother For Christmas, you'll know why Zelda is Lucas's 'substitute mother'. And you'll understand what the Gruesome Foursome is as well. (Regii's the only other one who will get it. :P)

One more! FINALLY!
