As he walked along the beach that was only a few miles away from Peach's castle, Luigi had a million and one thoughts running though his mind. It had been a good few years since he had seen her and held her close to his heart. And yet he never forgot her. Stopping to sit down on the warm sand, he took a moment to take in the view. It was almost how it was five years ago on this very day. The sky was a mass of colour and passion. The deep red sun half peering over the horizon, with golden lined clouds floating above. Luigi sighed in sadness. This time five years ago, he was seeing the same sunset, yet was sharing the experience with someone else. She was as beautiful as the sunset that lay out before them. A big broad smile that could light up the sky and a laugh that sent ripples of warmth through his entire body. Five years ago he was happy and content. He thought she was too.

They walked along the beach hand in hand. The sunset was the perfect setting for any couple in love. Luigi had never been happier in all his life; this scene was how his dreams went. He looked over at the girl how made him feel alive, shaking his head he could not believe his luck. She turned her head to face him and caught him looking at her with pride. He caught her eyes and blushed, before turning away. She smiled at him and squeezed his hand. If he hadn't turned away, he may not have missed her shaking her head with a quick look of worry.

The couple walked on in silence, taking in the view. By now a light breeze had worked up and Luigi's companion's hair started to move with the wind. He had to tell her now, this was the perfect moment. As if reading his mind, she stopped walking and turned to face him. She removed her hand from his and lifted it up to his face. Plucking up all the courage she could find within herself, she brought herself to speak.

'Luigi...'

'Daisy..I need to tell you something,' He whispered back. Feeling that she owed him at least this, she proceeded to let him speak first.

'Daisy, after all this time we've been together I've enjoyed nothing more then you're company..'

Daisy's heart sank and her gut wrenched. She had made her first mistake, allowing him to speak first.

'Luigi, wait...' She started to say, tears filling up in her eyes. This could not go on any longer.

'Sssh, it's OK Daisy. I need to say this. I am one hundred percent in love with you. You mean the world to me and I will always be there for you. You make me feel that life is worth living, even when Mario gets the attention and I'm left out. You give me a reason for being'

He looked at her, with tears flowing down her cheeks. She was happy; he'd said the right words. Then he watched as she shook her head and started to choke out the odd word.

'No...You can't...sorry...it's not...right' She spluttered. Luigi looked at her in bewilderment.

'Daisy?'

'I-I'm...so... sorry' She sobbed. Luigi felt a slow sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. What was she saying? He took a step towards her, but she pushed him away.

'It's...' She started to say again though tears. Coming to a realisation, that the relationship was in close peril, Luigi tried to sway her mind.

'Don't say it...Please, Daisy. Don't. I love you' He said, his voice full of fear.

'..Over' She finished and looked into his eyes. She could probably pin point the moment in which she had achieved what she had promised she'd never do. With two short words she had broke his heart and ripped apart his world at the seams. Deep down she knew he didn't deserve this pain, for that she was sorry. She watched as he fell to the floor and dissolved into tears. He worshiped the ground she walked on and would do any thing to see her smile. Yet for daisy it wasn't enough. She felt so bitter on the inside as she watched him cry himself into dehydration. She didn't know what to do. She was barely prepared to end it, never mind deal with the aftermath.

Finally he forced himself to look into her eyes. There stood the person he loved the most and would continue loving. The pain inside him was eating away at him and he needed to know why she was doing this to him, to them.

'W-Why Daisy? Was I that bad a partner?' He whispered, his voice broken and hurt. She looked down at him and sighed.

'You were a good partner, the best. But I want adventure and excitement. You can't give me that. So I'm going away. Sorry'

Daisy kept it short and straight to the point, she didn't want to prolong the agony. It was true; he wasn't entirely what she wanted. It was also true that he was a good partner, the best. He used to make her smile and he was so sweet and caring. Unfortunately it wasn't enough.

Blinking away his tears he looked at her. Was she so fed up of him that she could show no mercy and end it so harshly? The bluntness of her reasons made Luigi feel so sick inside. He was devastated.

Without another word Daisy walked away from him and out of his life permanently.

End Flashback

Luigi wiped away a tear as he remembered that day. He was left reeling for days. Mario, Peach and Yoshi tried everything to cheer him up, failing miserably. Slowly but surely he started to regain his long lost happiness. He never forgot Daisy and often wondered where she was and what she was doing. He also wondered if she ever found a replacement for him, but then it pained him to think of that. His heart never recovered though and at night, sometimes he'd cry over the love of his life.

Lying on the sand he closed his eyes and listened to the soft noise of the waves as they cascaded onto the shore. This was the only way he could ever get a peaceful frame of mind. As he lay there, he felt something brush against him. Sitting up and opening his eyes he came face to face with a dry piece of seaweed blown by the breeze. It did strike him odd that such alight breeze could move such a piece of seaweed but he thought nothing more of that.

As he went back to the lying down position he felt something hit him on the head. It came sharp and hurt his forehead. Now he knew that wasn't the breeze. Getting up quickly he realised it must be Mario up to his usually tricks.

'Mario! Get down here this instant you fool!' Luigi shouted, but his only reply was a shell, just like the one thrown before. The shell were coming from behind the sand dune and Luigi was just about the go up and grab his idiot brother by the neck when a figure came from over the dune. The figure was wearing a hooded cloak; Luigi frowned at his brother's newfound idiocy.

'Mario, you can take that stupid cloak off now, I know it's you!' Shouted Luigi.

The figure edged closer to Luigi. Luigi was almost ready to pull off Mario's hood when Mario pulled the hood off by him self. Only the figure wasn't Mario at all, it was none other then…

'Daisy?'
