The anticipation had been killing me all week. My parents had arranged my marriage and I was very antsy to know who it was. My Mom and Dad had sat me down in
the Parlor to tell me the news. My Mom folded her hands in her lap as she sat down across from me. "You are going to be marrying Biff Atlas, Honey isn't that great?"
"What?" I yelled in an outrage. "Quiet down Melody, you are going to wake the kids up." Dad warned, shushing me. "When is the wedding?" I demanded, reverting
my gaze back to my mother. "Next week" she replied, seemingly much less enthusiastic than before. "Next!..." I shot out of my chair, but was once again silenced by
the look my Dad was giving me. Fuming mad, I stormed out of the room. I found myself wandering down to the Billiard Room in my angry haze. I pulled the door
open and stormed inside, slamming the door behind me. "You alright?" I quickly snapped out of my angry daze to see Slim Bankshot giving me a concerned look from
the other side of the pool table. "I'm fine." I responded quickly as I leaned my back against the door. Slim resumed his game of pool, making a perfect shot like only
he could. "You going to tell me what happened?" he asked without even looking up. He knew me well enough to see that something had happened. "My parents want
me to marry Biff Atlas next week." I confessed. That got his attention. Slim looked up from his game with a very startled expression on his face. "Do you like him?"
Slim asked cautiously. "No" I replied matter-of-factly "he an overly muscular meat head and I wouldn't even touch him with one of your pool sticks." I tried to hide a
smile as I saw Slim's shoulder's sag with relief. "Why do you care so much?" I asked curiously as I took a seat on the side of the pool sable. Slim leaned his pool stick
against the wall and walked back over to me, "because if you don't even like the guy, you shouldn't have to marry him." Slim put his hand next to mine on the edge
of the pool table and leaned on it casually. "I'm glad to know at least someone cares" I sighed, letting my shoulders fall dramatically. "I'll always care about you Mel."
Slim stared at the ground nervously, refusing to meet my eyes. I reached over to gently tip his chin back up to mine. Once his eyes met mine I smiled at him, "thank
you Slim." I let my hand fall as he smiled back at me. He pushed off the pool table and stood back up, casually stepping closer to me. I sat there and cocked a
confused eyebrow as he stood square in front of me. He gently leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine, encircling my waist with his arm so I wouldn't fall
backwards. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he continued to kiss me. As he pulled back, the first genuine smile since the news of my engagement crossed
my face. "I promise I won't let him marry you Melody, he doesn't deserve you."
Twiz: I hope you guys enjoyed the first part of this! I'll try to update every day or so untill it's finished! I know there aren't many ships from Luigi's Mansion, but I wanna change that! I thought Melody and Slim would be cute together! Also in this fic Melody is Neville and Lydia's daughter/ Chauncey, the twins, and Sue Pea's sister. P.S. this is set when everyone in the mansion is still alive (far before the actual game)
