So all that happened...
Lucas was woken up before the sun even came up, they had to all get out of the village before the Mr. Saturns destroyed them for blasting firework rockets 12 in the evening.
Speaking of Mr. Saturns, the four boys were still unable to figure out what the creature's exact intent was. Link concluded that the creatures were speaking in their own language, maybe trying to communicate with them, but fails.
After hitting the road, the green patches of grass were replaced back again by the baron desert. As if the scenery has never changed. After being hungry for over a day, Ness and Lucas were finally filled by slices of fruit jerky, which Link and villager stole from the the Saturn Village. It tasted like the best things in the world to Lucas.
The four boys started out with various conversations, but as time went on, people talked less, after hours passed, Villa was the only one still talking.
Many more hours later, a city was apparent. And unlike the other times, the boys knew exactly where they were, well, Ness to be exact.
A city of shining lights, the metropolis of Eagleland.
Fourside.
Excited remarks were exchanged as the city draws near, Ness shared the many trips he had taken to the city, Lucas was happy for Ness, knowing that he himself rarely left his home.
The baron road led to a sign, the biggest yet.
Welcome to the Metropolis of Fourside
Behind the sign, were huge buildings, covered in vines, shattered windows, and not exactly any signs of "Shining Lights." The sound of vultures were now audible, they cycled around the four boys, waited for their next meal...
"This is it, the fanciest city in all of Eagleland." Ness said while dusting off his cloths. "Bittersweet really."
"Fourside...How long have we been walking?" Lucas asked.
"A while, right, we should probably...find a place to sit our asses down and grab a drink or something..." Villager said.
"You didn't look too tired on the trip here, you didn't shut up about your rocket science or whatever the fuck you nerds talk about." Ness said, which made Villa roll his eyes.
"I was being educational, didn't learn all that shit for nothing."
"You could of screamed all that after we came here, what are we supposed to do now, after we are all tired as hell." Ness said.
"Alright, I'm not tired, never said that I was."
"How did you learn anything if you left school at eight?" Lucas asked.
"Homeschool, duh, or in this case, self learning...Toonie refused to read with me, what a dumbass."
"I mean who the absolute fuck learns about anything outside of school?" Link said, disapprovingly. "And also, I didn't "Study" with you because I didn't want to get in trouble."
"Sure...Toonie."
...
"Anyways, now that we are here, we can do anything! We have the whole city for ourselves." Ness said, trying to be exciting. "I remember a coffee shop here, that was pretty good."
As they entered the city, greens covered them, mostly vines and overgrown trees. Ness pointed out different buildings, telling the others what they were. Lucas wasn't especially interested, but he stayed quiet anyways. The trip went all around the city, and soon, everyone was hungry again.
"Can we go eat something? I'm kinda hungry." Lucas said as he rubbed his stomach.
"Oh yes, food, since you know everything about this place Ness, can you please get us to a five star restaurant?" Link followed.
"Fine...You people are wayyyyy to lazy, if I was my mom, I would probably say no, but since I am the great merciful and kind Ness, we shall visit the department store and grab something to eat."
"Yay..."
The department store smelled of rotten cheese, nothing really notable in particular was apparent, other than the fact that the place was abandoned and everything was free.
"Grab something, whatever you want, if you like it, grab a second, its all fre-"
"Yeah we get it Ness." Lucas said as he and the two others zoomed by Ness' Mating call.
"Alright, lets make this quick, we got so many places to go." Ness said while picking up a bag of onion rings.
"Wow, ain't you a happy bunny." Link said, seeing Ness genuinely this happy for the first time. "You really do love this place don't you."
"Love would be an understatement." Ness said. "How I wished that I was born here, not an isolated little town, I'm the social kind of person, always liked crowds."
"I was too, until I realized that being isolated was the best way to live." Link said. "You seem really chill talking like this."
"I'm a chill dude, most of the time...This whole apocalypses thing has really taken tolls on me."
The two boys laughed. They looked over at Lucas, who was struggling to make a decision on which bags of chips he wanted to stuff first.
"Lucas is a pretty quiet kid isn't he?"
"I don't know about that, we are not that close, but he is even chillier, more than me, like in a good way." (That was supposed to be a joke, get it? PK freeze?)
"He's kinda cute." Link said, smiling.
"Woah, woah, woah. Don't do that shit bro." Ness' smile started to crack up.
"I'm not saying like boyfriend cute, more like just, peaceful and fine. He would balance you, from all your noisy greatness."
"I can't lie, if I was gay, I would probably marry Lucas, too bad I ain't homo."
"I think he is into you..."
"Shut up, Lucas ain't a faggot."
"Oh well...If he is, would you be glad?"
"Well, I would probably kill myself. Can you imagine sitting all day with three gay people."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing really, but how the hell would I stay straight? I'm not Homophobic or anything, don't get the wrong idea."
...
"I'm just fucking with you, Lucas told me he was straight."
"Of course he is...Wait, how did you know that?"
"We talked when you slept, or tranquilized, or fainted, whichever you prefer."
"Hey boys!" Villager yelled as he ran to them. "Three and a half bags of dried noodles in, I think I'm all set."
"Alright, I'll ask Lucas If he is all done." Ness went to the lane Lucas was feasting in, but he wasn't there.
"Lucas?"
Nothing
"LUCAS? WHICH LANE ARE YOU IN, I'M NOT CHECKING ALL OF THEM, ARE YOU DONE YET?"
Nothing
"LUCAS?"
