Alright, so I know that no one likes author's notes and just wants to get to reading the fics, but a few things you should know:

1. This is my first fanfic.

2. This is my first time writing anything involving romance.

3. Reviews, favorites, and follows are appreciated. Especially reviews. owo

4. I tend to use smilies a lot, especially owo (not in the fics though, unless it's a computer chat or text!)

5. This will probably contain spoilers for Mother 3 and Earthbound, so if you haven't played through, I recommend you do, but you don't have to. I'll put a warning in the authors notes if there are, and before the spoiler. If you see one asterisk (*), it's a minor spoiler. If you see two, (**) it's a medium spoiler. If you see three, (***) it's big. If you see four, (****) it spoils a huge thing in the game, and you should probably skip that. If you see one by the chapter name, you might as well skip the whole chapter.

6. This is slight AU, so some things are the same, but others aren't. You'll see.

7. Thoughts will be in italics, animal speech will be in bold, read thoughts will be in italics with quotes, and telepathy will be bold with italics and quotes.

i.e I really don't wanna go to school today...

"Arf! Gotta catch that frisbee!"

"I really hope no one's reading my mind now..."

"Hey Lucas, you can hear me, right?"

Alright, I'm sure that was boring to read. So, without further ado, onto the first chapter!

Two boys were outside at their grandfather, Alec's, house. One had red hair, while the other had blonde. They both wore similar clothes, one wearing a red and yellow striped shirt while the other donned a green and yellow one. They both had vibrant and colorful eyes, the blonde having shy blue ones and the other having green ones that shined with mischief. It wasn't too hot or too cold, and it didn't look like it would rain either. The few clouds in the sky were fluffy and white, and if you looked close enough you could almost see shapes that would paint a story, as their mother would say.

Speaking of their mother, she watched with amusement as they chased each other around in the grass, startling a few of the animals. "Rawr, I'm a dragos! I'm going to eat you for dinner, just like an omelet! Actually, maybe I will make you into an omelet!"

"That's no fair, dragos are supposed to be nice! Besides, I don't think they eat omelets...! And how could they make one with those tiny arms...?" The shyer one, Lucas, responded, stopping whenever he started overthinking things, which in turn, made his brother run into him and caused them to both topple over and Lucas to whine. "Claus, get off! That hurt..." he pouted. "Hey, you're the one that stopped, it's your fault! Besides..." Claus started, stopping to smirk mischievously, "Why would I let a chance like this go?"

"Claus..." Lucas said, worried of what he might do. The other just grinned and started tickling him mercilessly, causing Lucas to start laughing hysterically. Eventually it started getting late after a few hours of play, the sunset turning the sky multiple shades of pink, purple, and orange. "Boys, it's time to come in!" their mother, Hinawa, called. "Aww, we were just getting to the fun part!" whined Claus, but went inside anyways, knowing it was for the best.

After dinner and getting cleaned up, everyone went to bed. Lucas had a peaceful, dreamless sleep, until... "Lucas! Wake up, son!" Being a light sleeper, he woke up fairly quickly. He looked around, realizing he was not at his grandpa's house, but actually at home. He sighed, realizing he'd had a dream about that day again. He turned to face the one who had woke him up, although he already knew who it was. "I'm up, dad." He stated, although a bit groggily.

"Good, now could y'help me get your dagnabbed brother up? Y'know that boy'd sleep through a darned twister tornado if there ever was one, and you know today's important." The man said seemingly ticked off, but Lucas had known him long enough to know that he was actually amused, and there was maybe a little bit of affection mixed in, too.

"Sure, dad." Lucas grinned a bit, still sleepy. Flint got up and went to Claus's room, which happened to be next to his. Flint took out a glass of water Lucas hadn't noticed before, and motioned for him to be silent. Grinning, he counted down, mouthing it out.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One!" he said this one out loud, pouring the water over his once-peacefully sleeping brother's head, who yelled out in surprise. "Jeez, I'm up! You didn't have to go and pour water all over me! I never asked for a shower!" He said angrily. Lucas stifled a bit of laughter, his brother's bed-head mixed with the water looked kind of comical.

"You were gonna take'un anyways. 'Sides, yi'd never've gotten up anyways. I know 'ow ya are, boy." Flint stated as if it was a fact. Claus huffed and went to take a shower since he was already wet, crossing his arms on his way there. At this point Lucas was hardly keeping back his giggles, covering his mouth with one hand. After recovering a bit, he remembered why they'd woken up so early in the morning. "Where are we going again, dad?"

"It's called Onett, son. It's all th'way in a place called Eagleland, so we've gotta take an airplane." He answered, showing him the plane tickets he'd bought for them. ... There were only three, though, plus a special one for Boney. He'd expected this, of course, but his face still noticeably fell, no matter how hard he'd tried to hide it from his father.

Flint saw this and frowned. He sighed, knowing how Lucas had never really gotten over it, even after all this time. Neither had he, really, but he tried his best not to show it as not to upset his sons. Being a tall man, and his son short for his age, he bent down to ruffle Lucas's hair. "It'll be okay, son. I know it'll be hard without your mother 'round, but we'll have t' do our best. After all, t's what what she would've wanted."

Lucas nodded a bit, letting a small, somewhat reluctant smile cross his face.

Changing the subject, "Why were we going? How long will it take?" he asked. "I'm going b'cause it has to do with business, s'posedly there are better job opportunities there, and we both know we need that." Flint smiled, glad the subject had changed and that his son seemed happy again.

"There's no sayin' for sure, but it'll probably take a few hours considering 't's in another country." Lucas's eyes widened a bit. "Another country? You never mentioned that before..." "Oh, I didn't? Ahah, how silly 'f me... Must've not crossed my mind b'fore..." He grinned sheepishly, fiddling with the brim of his hat, a habit of his when he was nervous or made a mistake.

Claus came out of the bathroom, with his usual outfit and hair. He was less grumpy than before, but Lucas knew better than to mention it. He sighed and went to get ready, glad he'd packed last night. Shutting the door behind him to take a shower, he groaned. This was going to be a long trip.

Hope that was good! To be honest, I'm just going with the flow here, I don't have too much planned out xD Next chapter will be in Lucas's point of view, first person. ... Probably. Maybe. Anyways, I've got the next chapter planned out for the most part, but hopefully I remember to write it. I would write it now, but it's 1:22 AM and I have tests tomorrow. All through this week, actually. Since this is my first fanfic, I'd like some reviews and/or constructive criticism, but of course I don't expect it right away. Anyways, I've been meaning to write something for a while now, but I've been reluctant since I didn't have many ideas. Honestly this is a bit of a spur-of-the-moment type thing, because I've been obsessed with Mother and Ness x Lucas here lately, and noticed that there weren't enough (imo) fics about Ness x Lucas. I hope this goes well and that I remember to update. xD Ooh, and I do plan on some Claus x Ninten on the side, too. Also try to keep in mind this will be my first time writing romance, so tips are appreciated if I ever have trouble ;; And I decided to skip the ride there to save some time for both of us. It would've been boring anyways xD And by the way, I haven't made the summary yet, so I don't know what I'll put in it, but Lucas hasn't found out he has psychic abilities yet. Neither has Claus. And Ness and Ninten... Well, that's a surprise, so you'll just have to find out! Anyways, I should sleep now. Hope you guys enjoyed, bye! owo Also, sorry for the shortness xD Oh, and the name's not final. I couldn't think of anything, so I resorted to puns. /shot
