-Boxer In Love-

Little Mac went to Kirby's to watch the Round 5 tournament. The two didn't want to go to the lobby because the other smashers might harass her. He brought some snacks to watch. He tried talking to her and saying commentary when something crazy would happen, but she only used short replies. She's still sad because she lost the tournament he thought. He understood. She was close to winning it all, but she held back for some reason which he still wanted to ask. She didn't look so good, so he decided to stay silent.

Zelda lost round 5 immediately. Little Mac cheered when she lost. He figured Kirby would be happy, but she still looked sad.

"It's ok, Kirby. You'll get em next year," Little Mac said.

"Mhm."

"I mean it! You're really strong. You got this!"

"Mhm."

"Haha, anyway, are you hungry?"

"No."

"What! You're always hungry."

She shrugged her shoulders avoiding eye contact with him.

"Hmm, oh does Gummy want me to get some cake."

He saw that she wanted to smile. A nice tug on her lips appeared for half a second.

"What about a strawberry shortcake?"

"Hmph!" She turned her head away.

"Cheesecake next to a perfect scrumptious Strawberry shortcake with extra whip cream."

She crossed her arms and forced her face to look angry, but he knew she was happy. It was cute seeing her all fussy.

"How about this, you can stay angry for now, but once I get the two delicious cakes, then you have to be happy," Little Mac suggested.

"No!"

"Well I'm gonna get cake anyway. You better be happy when I'm back."

"Hmph!"

"Haha! Fussy girl," He patted her hair.

Little Mac left to go to the smash bakery to get cake. It was late, so he hoped that the place was still open. If not, he can go to the grocery store and find something else. Luckily the smash grocery store is open 24/7. He began walking, but he heard footsteps. Someone is following him. He turned around to see Kirby with a pouty face. He couldn't help but smile as she caught up to him. She wanted to pick out her own cake. Aww how cute.

-Mario's Plan-

Metaknight woke up in a bunker. He was in a cage. He felt too weak to do anything. He could barely move.

Mario appeared. Ah, so this is his secret underground bunker. How convenient. He saw Sonic and Ness guarding the plumber, as he worked on a machine. It was at the end of the wall. The capsules were like a wall leading to this machine. Metaknight figured that's probably where he's going to end up.

"Well Sir Metaknight, are you ready to go in the machine?" Mario laughed.

"Hmm, I can only assume that I'm going to get brainwashed."

"Nope. You'll become a host instead."

"I see."

"You seem excited. Well I am too! This machine will heal you right up too! Sorry if my boys hurt you."

"Using your henchmen to fight me. Not very honorable of you, Mario."

"I don't-a care."

"Is that why you're winning the tournament with no problems?"

"I'm winning the tournament because I'm the strongest."

"Hmph! I disagree."

"Whatever! Soon, you'll become dumb and helpless like that dirty dark vulture."

"So, you took Dark Pit, as well."

"He knew my secret. I couldn't let him be free any longer."

Mario ordered his henchmen to unlock the chains and grab Metaknight.

"This is-a goodbye, Metaknight. Oh but don't worry, you won't lose yourself," Mario said.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll be fully aware."

"Tch! You'll regret this Mario. Soon, the others will know what a terrible beast you are."

"Haha! Doubt it! Everyone here is stupid. After all, it's-a me, Mario. Who doesn't love me?"

"I don't."

"Well you will once I fix you."

…

-The Clones-

He called him once before, but it went straight to voicemail. He figured that Ness's phone was dead. However, he wanted to give it another shot by texting him and he actually texted back!

Ness told Lucas to meet him in the garden. Lucas checked the time and it was midnight. He better hurry and rush there before the drunk smashers start bothering him. He snuck past the bar and made it to the garden without getting bothered. He found the smash ball fountain that Ness told him to meet. He sat on the edge of the fountain and stared into the sky. Gee, the scenery is so beautiful here. He didn't go to the garden often. He didn't like to go out much, but this is definitely nice. He should come here more. This is a great place to get lost in and think. He thought of Ness and him walking around getting lost in this giant maze of a garden talking about whatever.

Thinking about Ness made Lucas nervous. His heart started beating fast. Why is he so nervous? It's Ness! His best friend! His heart skipped a beat when he felt someone tap his shoulder.

Ness walked up to Lucas and waved. Lucas couldn't believe it. He's actually here! He's here and alive! He's actually alive! He hugged Ness and cried on his shoulders.

"Hey, it's ok. I'm ok," Ness reassured.

"W-where h-have you been?"

"I uh, well it's a long story."

"I missed you."

"It's ok, Lucas. I'm here now."

Lucas continued to cry on Ness's shoulder for a bit. After he calmed down, he pulled himself off of Ness. He dusted himself off and channeled his emotions. It's time to start asking questions.

"Where have you been?" Lucas asked.

"I had to hide. Something bad happened."

"What happened?"

"It's Mario. He's bad news."

"Is Mario the one telling everyone about Kirby?"

"I'm not sure why he wants Kirby gone. All I know is that he does. I began stalking him and creating a plan to defeat him, but he caught on. I had no choice but to run away. I've been hiding here in the garden ever since."

"You've been here all this time?!"

"Yes! Sorry it took so long to text you back. At one point I was able to sneak my way back into the mansion and charge my phone without anyone seeing me."

"How come you don't want people to see you?"

"What if they're on Mario's side? You know how he is! He's manipulative. I need to stay low for now."

"So are you going to continue to hide?"

"Yeah."

"But... We can fight Mario off together. You don't have to be alone."

"He's got everyone on his side. Right now you're safe, but don't worry, I'll be ok."

"Ness I-

"I don't want you to get hurt. I really care about you, Lucas," Ness caressed Lucas's face.

Lucas couldn't help but blush.

"In fact, I've been wanting to tell you something," Ness blushed.

"What is it?"

"I've been hiding this for a long time, but I finally have the courage to tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"I love you, Lucas."

"Huh?"

"I have feelings for you. I've always did..."

"Y-you're not lying, are you?"

"No. I'm serious, but I understand if this freaks you out."

"I... I can't believe it."

"Y-yeah..."

"You have no idea how happy I am right now."

"What?"

"This entire time I thought you were straight."

"No, not at all."

"Wow... I don't know what to say."

"I have an idea."

"Huh?"

Ness grabbed Lucas's chin and lifted his face up. They locked eyes. Ness gave him a cocky smile, which cause the blonde to swoon.

"You could say 'I love you' back."

Lucas's entire face went red. Oh my god, this is a dream.

"I..I love you too."

Ness wrapped his arms around Lucas. Lucas couldn't process the amount of happy he was feeling. Everything is too much! They're official now! Ness is hugging him and Lucas doesn't know what to do. He still couldn't believe that this was happening.

Ness noticed how shy Lucas is now. Ness pulled away from the hug and grabbed Lucas's hands in his. They stared into each other's eyes for a bit, until Ness went for it. He kissed Lucas on the lips. Lucas paused. Ness is actually kissing him! He's so gentle too. They went slow at first, but then Ness became eager. The kiss was more aggressive. Ness grabbed the back of Lucas's head and pulled him tighter into the kiss.

The two kept kissing for a while. It was like Ness has been waiting for this for so long. Lucas couldn't keep up. He needs to breathe. He would sometimes give Lucas a break, but then he would kiss him again and again and again. Lucas couldn't stop shaking. Ness is so dominant. He loved it! He could feel that Ness wanted him bad. Ness pushed down on the grass. He got on top of him and biting his neck. He grabbed Lucas's wrists and kept him pinned down. This is so hot! Lucas tried not to make any sounds, but he couldn't help but moan.

Ness got up. Lucas stared at Ness shocked. So much happened at that moment. How long have they been kissing? What's this? Lucas felt a little sting on his neck. Did Ness give him a hickey? When? Lucas was so out of it. All he felt was pleasure. What happened?! What's happening right now? Ness just stopped. Are they done now? He stood up too and Ness gave him a cocky smile. Why's he smiling like that?

"Hey, Lucas, do you… want to go somewhere more private?" Ness smirked.

"W-what?"

"I know a place."

"I-I don't know if I'm ready for that. I mean, we just started-

"Don't worry, I'm not going to rush you into that. I just have the feeling that someone could watch us. I mean, we are in a public garden."

"O-oh."

"Unless you don't want to continue, that's ok too."

"No I do!"

"Alright, I know a place. I actually found this cool bunker. It's where I've been hiding. I managed to crack the code."

"Wow Ness, you're so cool!"

"Just follow me."

Ness pressed his thumbs on the side of the fountain. Out came a combination of codes. He plugged them in and the statue moved to the side. A staircase appeared under. Ness made sure to give Lucas bedroom eyes before he disappeared down the staircase.

Lucas gulped. He couldn't think straight. Probably because he's gay. His brain told him that it wasn't a good idea to follow Ness down this mysterious underground bunker, but his heart was telling him to do so. His heart won the argument battle and he made his way down the staircase.
