"Luigi!" Mario said to his brother. "Where's my costume, dammit!?"

"It's on the couch," Luigi said, "where you left it."

"Good." Mario said, getting into his costume. "Now hurry up and get your costume on. We got to be there in fifteen minutes!"

Luigi, after getting in his costume (which was a nice Mushroom Guard costume), was dragged to the car. After a ten minute drive, they parked their car, ran inside Peach's castle just in time for the party to start. Of course, Princess Peach wouldn't be out until a later time. Mario, dragging Luigi to a wall and pushing him against it, reminded him that he was going to propose to Peach. After Luigi reassured his brother he wouldn't do something, Mario walked off while Luigi went to the edge of the floor and danced idly, while Mario took the spotlight. It was how things were, and Luigi couldn't change a thing about it. Half an hour later, Peach came down the stairs, in a strapless dress that was at thigh length, white elbow length gloves, a tiara made completely out of crystal, and hot pink high heels. Of course it wasn't a costume, but she's a princess, so she can get away with it. Mario started to droll a bit because of Peach's appearance, while Luigi noticed his brother. Although Mario was dressed in a pretty good Neko costume, the sight of him drooling made Luigi smirk. The couple joined hands, as well as other couples, the song Don't You Forget About Me started to play, and Luigi leaned against a wall. Everybody's lucky, thought Luigi, they have someone to stay by their side. He grabbed a cup, poured himself a bit of punch, and sipped it gingerly.

Daisy stood near the food stand, dressed in a white shirt and orange track jeans. She was pulling off a good morning jogger, but she was alone, looking at the couples. She was a princess, but she didn't act like it. She was shy and mysterious, but once you got to know her, she was playful, loving, and caring. But she had no one to dance with. She sat next to the chocolate fountain, wanting to pick it up and suck all the chocolate out and walk away casually like nothing ever happened. But she couldn't walk away casually. She knew she would only run away embarrassed out of her mind and get scolded by Peach later for her nonladylike actions. Eventually, she noticed a stranger standing by the punch table, looking at the crowd. Daisy was thinking to herself, if she should go over and ask him or not. She eventually caved and approached the stranger slowly.

Luigi was having another small sip of punch, watching his brother propose to Peach. He even heard Peach say yes and whisper "Take me to bed" in Mario's ear. He saw Mario pick up Peach and take her to her room, which was probably a few floors above the main room.

"H-hello," someone said next to Luigi. He jumped a little and turned to the girl facing him.

"Hi th-there," he replied back. He noticed the girl was shaking, and the girl did the same.

"So I-I was wondering... y-ou're alone and I'm alone-"

"I'd love to d-d-dance."

Luigi smiles, as well as the other girl, they hold hands, and slow dance. After the music changed to a song they both hated (which was a Justin Bieber song), Luigi went to the DJ and asked if he could play a certain song. Moments later, while Luigi was holding the girl in a pose they both enjoyed, the song DJ's Got Us Falling In Love, started playing. The girl laughed, as it was her favorite song, and they danced like crazy. After the party, they walked outside, tattered costumes from dancing, laughing all the way. Eventually, the question came.

"Not to be rude or anything ma'am, but I never got your name," Luigi said.

"Princess Daisy Toadstool, and I am not a ma'am. And your name, gentleman?"

Luigi blushed. "Luigi Pisano. But gentleman? Hell no."

"I like rough guys." Daisy said with a chuckle.

Luigi held out his hand, and Daisy grabs it. Eventually, they arrive at her house, which was a nice suburban house.

"I really liked tonight, Luigi," Daisy said with a smile.

"I did, too," Luigi replied. "Maybe we could go on a date?"

Daisy's smile widened. "I'd love to! Are you available Friday?"

"Why yes I am. 8-bit Cafe, three o'clock?"

"Done!" Daisy slipped something into his hand, walked into her house, and waved him goodbye. He waved goodbye as well, and took a look at the paper.

"Call me!

555-8087

:Daisy"

Luigi smiled and walked merrily home singing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips". It was grand. He was a freshman, and this was the first time he actually got someone to call his girlfriend. He felt... whole. Sure, Mario was 27 and was getting married, but he had gotten all the girls and dumped them, except for Princess Peach for obvious reasons. When Luigi arrived home, he went into his room, got in his PJ's, and went to bed, knowing he had a date after school.

Daisy sat down on the couch, happy she had picked up a guy. Being a freshman and being a girl who was rejected by every boy, she was happy. Finally happy, for once in her miserable life. Peach paid her no mind and gave her no money to help her start off, but she managed to get a job. She got out of her costume, into her PJ's and went to bed, knowing tomorrow was going to be the start of a new life, hopefully.
