"...so what do you think?" Waluigi asked Rosalina, who hadn't much been paying attention to anything Waluigi had to say.

Waluigi snapped his fingers at Rosalina, snapping the cosmic princess out of her trance.

"I'm sorry, what?" Rosalina asked, somewhat embarrassed.

Waluigi rolled his eyes at her. "Could you at least give me your attention some of the time? Now, I was going to ask you if you wanted to go on a triple date with Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Daisy tomorrow."

Rosalina sighed. "Of course, I'm sorry. I think that sounds like a ton of fun."

Waluigi smirked. "Good. 'Cuz I already told them we were coming."

Now it was Rosalina's turn to roll her eyes. Waluigi constantly was doing things like that, making decisions with her approval. It was enough to make her want to slug him sometimes.

Rosalina looked at her watch. "Oh! I've uh, got to leave now to uh, give my lumas a bath. Um, how about I see you later at the Café?" She asked, getting up, and giving Waluigi a kiss on the cheek.

As she left Waluigi's house, Rosalina found herself wondering why she always seemed to have to come up with some dumb excuse so she could leave Waluigi. Why was she always so eager to finish the dates she had with him? After all, it was she who asked him out. She knew she loved Waluigi, and that he loved her back, but things were always unusually tense for Rosalina. Was it that she had secret feelings for someone else that even she didn't know about? No, no. Rosalina made a vow that she would be forever faithful to him.

Soon Rosalina arrived at the Slingstar that would take her to her observatory. She wanted to just get home, lie down and sleep, her time with Waluigi had exhausted her. But I told him I'd meet him in the Café, she reminded herself. Oh well, I could at least take a quick nap, she thought to herself as the Slingstar propelled her into outer space.

When Rosalina arrived at the Café, she saw no sign of Waluigi. Good, at least I can enjoy some alone time without him for a while. Rosalina cringed. She couldn't believe she was thinking thoughts like that about her own boyfriend. Why, why didn't she actually enjoy her time with Waluigi like any other girlfriend would. Maybe I'm just a bad girlfriend, she thought. It was very possible, since she never dated anyone before. Maybe all she needed was to stick with Waluigi and get more practice in the girlfriend department.

Rosalina decided to go ahead and sit down at a table near the door and watch the people coming in. The Café was unusually crowded today, perhaps since it was a Saturday. Suddenly, a woman that walked into the bakery caught her eye. She wasn't a toad, or a Koopa Troopa, she was human, and Rosalina didn't recognize her. She must be new, Rosalina thought. She had light golden skin, and soft, chocolate brown hair that fell in loose waves. Her eyes appeared to be the color of chocolate as well, and she had plump lips lathered in raspberry colored lip gloss. She wore a bright red designer dress and matching red pumps.

Rosalina stared in awe at the woman's beauty, that was until she got into the line to get pastries and Rosalina could no longer see her.

Rosalina then turned her line of vision back to the door. Toad after toad after toad came in... but no sign of Waluigi. She continued to watch until she heard a loud squeal behind her. She turned around to see none other than the beautiful woman that she had watched before. It was obvious that she had run into something and dropped her coffee, because the golden-brown liquid was sloshed all over the front of her dress. The woman look at Rosalina with an apologetic expression.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just tripped over your chair and... I hope I didn't spill any coffee on you, heh heh." The woman said, blushing with embarrassment.

"Oh no, it's fine" Rosalina said, getting out her wand. "Hear, let me clean that up for you." With a flick of her wand, all the coffe that was on the woman's dress went back into the coffee cup, the lid back on, the stain on her dress gone.

"Wow, thanks." the woman said, heading out the door.

"No problem." Rosalina answered.

She watched as the gorgeous woman left and fell into a little trance as Waluigi eventually walked through the doorway and explained why he was late.

How odd, Rosalina thought. Here I was, talking to woman I've never seen before like I've known her all my life, when making conversation with Waluigi is physically exhausting.

So that was the first chapter! Did ya like it? Hat it? Well, just remember to review and all that jazz 'cuz I'm really excited to keep going with this story ;)
