Here's a new book I'm starting! It's another song-fic but I think you guys will love it! This is a Daisy X Luigi fic... Enjoy!
And...As usual I always use Luigi as my main protagonist. But there will be a few POV switch ups from time to time!
If you get confused anytime during the story please ask me and I'll tell what happened! :D

Luigi:
We were in the middle of a baseball game and I was pitcher/2nd baseman. My brother was waiting for me to pitch and he is batting. We were going against each other because it's more fun that way. I was procrastinating because my vision as been going a lot lately. Mario doesn't actually know the whole story but there were a few close calls; ending up with me in the hospital. I really don't know either to be honest. It all started a few weeks ago when I was unconscious for a while. You see though, Mario and I have been fighting frequently and right now there's nothing I can do. But the fight we recently had resulted us not talking to each other for a week. Yes, it's been a week. I'm not sure he cares what happens anymore, esepcially to me. I don't want to be a bother so I shot him a quick glance and got off the base. He lowered his bat and watched me walk away. I walked straight into Princess Peach, not realizing my eyes were getting really bad.
"Sorry, Princess!" I said quickly, and found the locker rooms. I sat on the bleachers that were behind my locker. Unfortunately, Mario's locker was right next to mine so, that really didn't help. I actually been avoiding him a lot; afraid that he'll flip out on me. I rubbed my temples as my head throbbed. My eyes went all hazy, and I nearly tumbled over when I felt something catch me or something.
"You okay?" I heard an all too familiar voice ask, sliding me back up in a sitting position.
"What?" I tried to focus my vision on the person in front of me, it looked like Mario. Yep, it was. I knew that red cap anywhere.
"I said, 'are you okay'?" He sat down next to me taking off his cap; wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"I guess." I say, I heard the flatness in his voice, I felt a little hurt that it was flat. I thought we were past this fight? I guess not. Mario got up, putting his cap back on and unlocked his locker. His face was blank as well was my vision. I rubbed my eyes consistently,
"Hey, don't do that, you'll make it worse." he says, still with a flat voice. His voice seemed uncaring, not wanting to bother with whatever was happening.
"Can we just make up already?" I blurted, frustrated.
"What are you talking about?" he says looking at me.
"The fight." I reminded, he shook his head, I saw anger in his eyes,
"Let me sleep on it." he muttered, walking away. I got up and leaned against the lockers, tears prickling in the corner of my eyes. I was sick and tired of this nonstop arguing. I went back out to the field and picked up my mit along the way. My vision started to way blurry; too fuzzy. I started to hallucinate really fast. I became dizzy, and forced myself to sit down on the nearest bench. One of my team mates; a Toad, wadeled his way over to me,
"Hey Luigi... Are you okay?" he asks, and with that I fell to the ground as my world went black. Now, don't start worrying because everyone does that. This has been happening a lot lately, and without even thinking I knew people were gathering around me. I opened my blurred eyes; they still hadn't regained vision. I could barely make out Princess Peach, Toad, the other Toads and Yoshi...but I saw no signs of- wait. He's' behind me, I could feel someone lift my head up; it was Mario and he placed it on his lap. i didn't say anything, all I heard were distant voices but all the voices suddenly became silent. I think I heard one of the people ask if they should take me to a hospital. I did NOT want to be hospitalized AGAIN. I tried talking,
"No, hospital." instead it came out weak, barely audible. I felt as if someone was flicking darts at my constently and it's just a massive weight that's pounding my head. My eyes closed without me trying. Before I knew I was totally knocked out; unconscious.
I woke in a hospital bed, I automatically knew it. I sighed in frustration, and plopped my head back against the pillow. My vision was back, not 100 % but good enough for me to see. My head ache was gone, I felt like myself again. I looked around, I only was in the room, then the door opened.
"Hey, you're awake." It was Mario's voice, he sounded tired as if he has been up all night. He came in and pulled up a chair and sat next to my bed. He leaned forward and put all his weight on his legs he tried to give a smile, but it just didn't work.
"Yeah, how long was I out?" I ask, realizing my voice is back, Mario shook his head and breathed out. he looked up at me,
"About two days. We were all freaking out, the doctor joked about it a lot. That obviously pissed me off more. You have no idea how worried you had me, Bro...The doctor also said your heart stopped a few times, making the wait even worse." The only thing that had crossed my mind is that he called me 'Bro' again, were we good? About the fight? I mean it was really bad too?
"Are we good then? You know, all the arguing that's been going on?" I tried asking him again, a return to Wednesday's conversation. He didn't answer me, he just shrugged. I felt a little betrayed and disappointed in myself. I probably figured that's a no.
"I said I'll sleep on it." he muttered looking at the clock.
"When do I get out of here? This is the last place I wanna be in." I say looking around, then staring at the IV in my hand. Mario gave another shrug,
"That I wish I knew... I know you hate hospitals Luigi, but they're just trying to help." I felt like crying, I was so tired of the same lame excuse. I wanted answers, the door to my room opened again, and I saw a young woman with perfect brunette, red-ish hair. It sat on her shoulders, she walked over me,
"Oh! You're awake! That's awesome," her perky voice says, she gave a cheery smile. "I'm Daisy, your nurse." (*Author smiles*). I smiled back, I waved slightly, and looked at Mario. He rose his eyebrows and grinned. Obviously trying to hide a laugh,
"Oh, well, you-
"Luigi? Yes. I do know your name, and I know your brother too. I'm a good friend of Princess Peach." she explains, standing beside me. She walked to the door, taking one last look at me, with a smirk on her face. she gracefully walked out closing the door behind her. Mario playfully hit my arm,
"Lucky! The last time I was hospitalized I got Nurse Bertha." His eyes gave away excitement, he was actually smiling. I gave him a look of confusion- waiiittt a minute. He's trying to get me to talk to her, I know where this is going. Nice try, but it's not gonna work. Another confession I may need to share is that I've been alive for 20 years and I still haven't dated a girl. Ever. It was always my brother; but he finally grew some chest hair to ask Princess Peach out in the spring of '11. Boy is he crazy about her, but I think I just am about to follow in his footsteps.
"Do you think I have a shot with Daisy?" I ask cutting right to it,
"Daisy, believe it or not, is a Princess. Like Peach? I saved her once a long time ago, a longggg time ago. Too long ago for you to remember. She's more fierce and has a lot of energy, than Peach. You'd be surprised how much you two would have in common. I've been good friends with her for a while now. She's the Princess of Sarassaland." Oh my god, how did my brother know all of this? I didn't know?
"But do you think I have a chance with her?" I ask again,
"That's your own call, Bro." with that he drifted off to sleep, I didn't realize it's 10 at night.
"Finally! I'm going to get out of this place!" I shout, walking with Mario into the check out area. The IV left a mark on my hand but I didn't care, there's been in an IV in the exact same hand more than once. Mario smiled, I could tell it was a fake one though, but I played along anyways. Once I was in the car, I cranked the music really loud and starting singing to 'Thrift Shop'. What? Don't give me that look! It's a fun song to rap to! (Really funny story real quick: My cousin texted me saying she was waiting in the car cuz her dad and bro were in Goodwill but then THRIFT SHOP came on! I was laughing so hard!) Within a few minutes I got Mario singing along too, it was the best thing that happened today. We pulled into the drive way and I got out of the car still humming to 'Thrift Shop'. Mario and I were laughing the whole way home, it times like this I wish that we could do this more often. I walked into the kitchen; where Mario went considering any time he came home from somewhere, the kitchen was the first place he came to. There was a knock on the door, I walked over to it and to find Princess Peach standing in the door way. I let her in,
"I thought I heard more than one voice! Welcome back, Luigi!" Peach says cheerfully, skipping in and hugging me tightly. She skipped over to Mario, kissing his cheek. I smiled lightly, since they're dating now, I see Peach a lot more often now. It's been a while and I'm starting to wonder when Mario's to pop the question. I mean 'cmon, the guy's going on 22, and it's pretty damn obvious they both love each other. The awkward part though is that if they get married, Princess Peach will become part of the family. Does anybody else not get this picture? I simply said,
"Well, I'll leave you two alone and I'm gonna go upstairs." I backed away slowly, Peach has a lot of restrictions and femininity but over the years she's gotten more loose and layed back. And you know what? I thank Mario for that. A couple years ago I stopped liking Peach because Mario just loved her much. And at the rate I was going there was no way I was going to catch up to Mario.
I made my way into my room; green walls, but I had a lot of surfing stuff in it. I had a surf board in the corner of my room, I do know how to surf it's just that the waves here suck. The surf board was a Rip Curl sponsored one and it was white with blue strips going down the sides. On my nightstand was a favorited picture of Mario and I at Cheap Cheap Beach when we were 13. This picture was a favorite of both me and Mario. I had a few more pictures that ran up the left wall that faced my door. Some were 'friends' and others were just old pictures of Mario and I just being silly. But my all time favorite got in the school year book for High School one year. It was the first picture that started the chain of pictures on the wall. It was Mario giving me a nuggie but we were both smiling and trying to look at the camera. It was one of the more happy times in our lives, this picutre was taken at my High School graduation. Also the reason why I was wearing my graduation gown in this picture, therefore why Mario is dressed up nicely. I held the picture in my hand and every few seconds I couldn't help but smile. Mario and I don't see eye to eye on much these days. We aren't fighting as much as we were earlier this week. Due to the obvious fact that I fainted at the baseball field on the years Mario has become more serious rather than silly, but I stayed the same. I looked at my IPad to see if it was charged, I messed around with Siri for a while. I asked her just really random question like, 'what's today's weather' and telling her to look up something on the internet. I got back and stood in the middle of my room, I looked around sadly. I heard laughing from downstairs so that means Peach is still here. My room was actually big enough in length that I could do mini round-offs. A lot of the time I spend in my room was condesending my own problems or making some music with my old -mini- guitar that sits in my closet. I have been trying to teach myself how to play 'Broken' by Seether. I got the whole song pretty much nailed but it's the riff that's making it sound funky. I heard a faint knock on my door, I opened it for whoever was standing there. There stood Mario,
"Hey, whaddya doin'?" he says glaring around in my room then looked at me. I shrugged,
"Oh nothing special. Did Peach go home?" I sighed,
"Yeah. Listen so, I was thinking about asking her on Sunday..." I leaned against the doorway 'very interested' how Mario's planning to propose to Peach. I drifted off into a day dream where it was only me in it and I was alone in my room. And that's what I wanted right now, to be alone. I had a flat look on my face, that said 'I really don't care'. Of course I was happy for him but I wish that something good was going to happen to me.. Do you get what I'm trying to say? "Hey! Were you listening?" Mario says,
"Yeah, I stopped listening at the point about asking her Sunday...Wait, isn't Sunday Peach's birthday?" I say adjusting myself against the door, Mario gave me a 'duh' look,
"That's nice, Bro." was I all I could think of to say, I turned around and went back in my room. What I didn't realize is that Mario was still in the doorway.
"So, I was thinking and I forgive you." He says, coming in and sitting on my bed.
"Forgive me for what?" I ask, busy with something else not actually processing what he said.
"The fight we had." he said,
"Oh, yeah. I didn't mean anything I said to you." I say looking at him,
"Neither did I." he says,
"Brothers?" I say holding out my hand.
"Brothers." He says taking it, we did our little hand shake thing where we fist bump each other.
So, there's the first chapter! I am in love with the story line! Yes, in the beginning I did say Daisy X Luigi. But there will be a twist! A HUGE twist! Keep in the reel for chapter 2!
Please review!
