Oh man, I'm so sorry for forgetting about this story D: It just disappeared and I forgot that it was still in progress…Well, I've finally updated, and this will be the last chapter (sadly). It may seem rushed too…

Two years had passed ever since all of the drama Toon Link had created had happened, though the green clad 'stray' blond was constantly on Lucas' mind, his hope never died.
"Dude," Lucas snapped to attention, turning to face Ness who smiled. "Quit zoning out, you can't exactly do that in high school," Ness continued. Ah, that again. Ness, Lucas and all of his other friends were starting high school after this summer. It wasn't exactly the coolest thought, though Lucas was excited for the new experience.
"Nah, I can't exactly be thinking about school yet, summer just started," with a smile, Lucas nodded for Ness to toss the baseball. The two were determined to get on the baseball team for high school. Ness wanted to be a big league baseball star while Lucas preferred the thought of being a little league coach. Ness tossed the ball in a nice arc and Lucas followed up with swinging the bat, getting a good 'crack' from the impact. Ness stood up straight and placed his hand over his eyes to block out the sun, watching as the ball flew across the park and into the far off playground.
"You gonna get that?" he questioned, jabbing his thumb over his shoulder. Lucas rolled his eyes and walked in the direction where the ball had landed. It was quite the walk, and they wouldn't be returning to their practice for a good fifteen minutes.
Lucas waved at a parent who had picked up the sports ball. With a nod, the dad tossed the ball, Lucas catching it effortlessly. The two friends turned to walk back to the baseball diamond.
"So, where you going for summer vacation? I'm off to Texas, can't wait," Ness beamed. Ness was off to Texas in about a week, he said that he'd get Lucas a souvenir, though the blond had turned it down. Ness was still planning on getting his best friend something.
"Ah, I'm off to California, not exactly looking forward to going to the beach…"
"Dude, Lucas, you're the only person I know that hates the beach," Ness chuckled, stopping at the pitcher's mound, Lucas continuing to home base.
Tossing the baseball to Ness, Lucas got into a proper batting stance, waiting for Ness to pitch. The raven did and Lucas swung at it, sending it low this time. They didn't have to leave the diamond to retrieve the ball.

"Lucas, let's go, Claus is already prepared," Lucas hastily zipped the suitcase closed before carrying it off to the small kitchen.
"Mom, I'm ready," she nodded and they were off.
Lucas couldn't say that the plane ride was bad, but he got air sick or whatever it was called. It wasn't a great thought about the fact that California was all the way across the country from New York. He and Claus would try to entertain themselves, though, Lucas' sickness would constantly cut their games short. Finally, Lucas resorted to taking a nap, whether it helped or not.
Lucas was shaken awake by Claus. His brother said something about being there, but Lucas didn't care. All he just wanted to do was sleep some more, he could've stayed on the plane all day, but that wasn't exactly possible.
Lucas, his mother and brother arrived at their hotel, checked in and spent the rest of the day either on the beach or in their hotel room, lounging around for the first day. With the time change, they all went to bed at seemingly early times.

This was something Lucas liked. Walking around a populated city at night, it was great, the weather was perfect, not too many people and just the place itself. They decided to eat out at a small restaurant that resided directly on the beach. It was set up like a bar, but served regular meals.
"'Ey Link, one cheeseburger, and two lobsters on the double," Tetra barked, balancing tree full glasses of water with ease.
A chuckle, "please Tetra, it's Toon Link."
"Well I'd prefer Link, it's less uh…I don't know, just get the orders ready," Tetra huffed, smiling none the less. Toon Link smiled back and started his job. Tetra had gotten tired of being the only one out to serve the food, so she had forced Toon Link to do so as well. By the time he finished the food, Tetra was serving, eh…more like flirting with somebody else that hadn't ordered the food he had finished.
Putting on a cheery smile, Toon Link sauntered over to a group of three, a small family with only the mother present, they looked familiar, but whatever it was, Toon Link ignored.
"Hey, I've got your orders, would you like anything else?" he smiled broadly. He thought that it was kind of weird how the blond one was gaping at him, but again, he ignored it. The mother of the two shook her head 'no' and Toon Link left with a bow.
As the night proceeded, Toon Link couldn't help but cast glances over at the blond kid over to his right. He felt familiar, and if he'd forgotten about an old friend, he'd hate himself for it. It would probably break the other's heart since he looked rather fragile.
"Mom, I'm going to the bathroom," Lucas muttered, it being a lie. She nodded merrily and Lucas snuck around the area until he reached Toon Link. "T-Toon Link…" the other perked at his name and turned to look at Lucas.
"Yes?" Lucas' hopes fell rather violently, the tone the other used indicated that he didn't remember who he was. Lucas almost didn't continue, but urged himself to.
"Do…do you remember me?" Lucas asked shyly, placing a hand over his chest. Toon Link stared for a moment before returning to whatever he was doing.
"Um…no, why?" Lucas' heart broke right then and there. Toon Link didn't like how he sounded when he answered and before he knew it, he was chasing after the other who had suddenly turned and run off. "Wait! We knew each other?" he asked frantically, not wanting to hurt this kid. "I-I mean, I don't want to offend you or anything, just…" he trailed off, staring at the other who had begun to cry. "I'm sorry."
"Nah, I'd expect this after two years…" Lucas answered, forcing a smile onto his features.
"A name would be nice," Toon Link smiled back sheepishly, though he knew that Lucas' wasn't real. "I-I think it would jog my memory if I ever knew you…"
"Lucas…Lucas is my name," Lucas answered, praying to whatever higher deity was up there that Toon Link remembered him. Toon Link seemed to roll that word around in his mind before looking extremely apologetic.
"Ah…I'm so sorry, but it doesn't jog anything…" Toon Link dreaded that the other would turn and leave, but he never did.
"Then maybe we could start over…" Toon Link was confused by this statement, but his thoughts were halted as the other boy's lips met his. At first, he wanted to pull away in pure shock, but didn't. "We met…two years ago," Lucas started after separating with the other blond. "I gave you my lunch I think, and then we met again after that and you got hit by a car…" Lucas seemed to struggle to remember everything that had happened a mere two years ago.
"And you helped me," Toon Link smiled, embracing the shorter. Lucas started sniffling before quiet sobs reached the other blonds sensitive ears.
"Please don't leave me ever again…"
"I can't promise that…"
"Then just hold me."
"Gladly."
