Hello! This is my first fanfic, though it probably isn'tsomething that will light up your lives by any means. I don't own any of the characters even though I wish I did. The main theme running through is the Daisy/Luigi pairing, but there are other pairings making regular appearences. Any way, enjoy!

Consumed by Blindness - Chapter 1. The Beginning.

It was a warm summers day and most of the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom where outside enjoying the sun. Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom had invited a few friends over for a pool party. Peach, Mario and Princess Daisy of Sarasaland were playing water volleyball in the pool. Luigi was sat by the pool next to Toad and Yoshi. Toad was busy reading a book to Yoshi, whilst Luigi lay on the sun lounger with his eyes closed. Without anyone raising suspicion Mario climbed out the pool and whispered something to Yoshi, who giggled quietly.

Mario and Yoshi then went either side of Luigi and started to lift him up. Luigi sat up straight and realised what they were up to. He started yelling at them and told them to put him down, but they refused. Next thing, he had be launched into the pool, fully clothed. Both the Princess's were giggling. Luigi stood up right in the pool and glared at his brother. To make matters worse for Luigi, Mario took a run and bomb dived right next to him.

'Ahem' came a quiet female voice. Everyone looked towards the garden gate to see who it was. Toad and Yoshi jumped with glee as soon as they saw them. Toadette and Pink Yoshi had come to join in the fun.

When the day had got cooler and everyone had gone inside for dinner, the topic moved over to Toad and Toadette's new announcement. Toadette flashed a ring and announced that Toad had proposed. It was celebrations all round. Daisy was a little quieter then normal; the news of the engagement seemed to have given her good mood a fair blow. She was talking to Mario, Peach, Toadette and Luigi when they asked her what was wrong.

'Oh, nothing. It's just everyone is getting together with someone and I'm just stuck on my own' She sighed. Mario looked at Luigi, who was pretending to be looking for something in his pocket. Toadette smiled warmly at Daisy.

'It will happen one day Daisy. I always thought I'd be lonely, but if it can happen to me, you should have no problem. I bet there are loads of guys secretly wanting you!' Toadette always had a knack for knowing what to say. Daisy smiled at her and then started to frown again.

'Yeah, but I'm looking for someone special-' She started off. Luigi looked at her hopefully but she never seemed to notice him. Peach looked at Luigi then at Daisy.

'And the qualities that would him special are?' She tried to press for more information out of Daisy.

'Oh! That's easy! To make him special he must be unique, brave, strong, caring, passionate and whenever I'm in trouble he wouldn't care of the dangers, he would just rescue me. Climb to the top of a tower and save me - A REAL Hero' Sighed Daisy. Peach and Mario both looked at Luigi, Mario barged into him gently, as if he was trying to push him into something. Luigi just shook his head and made his excuses to leave.

Peach also made some kind of excuse to leave and followed him out onto the balcony. She found him sitting on the edge of the balcony with his head in his hands. Seating herself next to him, she sat in silence. It was a good ten minutes before she broke the silence.

'You should tell her how you feel you know?' She murmured quietly. Luigi raised his head and looked at her.

'Why? So she can laugh at me?' He asked.

'Why would she laugh?' Peach asked.

'You heard her! She described her perfect guy and I don't fit the criteria' He said quietly.

'I could never be good enough, no matter how hard I could try. He whispered finally. Peach put her arms around him and tried to tell him different, but he could not see it for himself. Peach then left him to go and tell Mario that it was no good.

Mario himself had no ideas on how to knock Daisy and Luigi in to sense. But then Peach had an idea herself. She could throw Toad and Toadette a party to celebrate their engagement. Everyone in Mushroom Kingdom and Sarasaland would be invited; it would be the event of the century. Peach told Mario her idea and they both smiled at each other.

Deep in the Congo Jungle, in a small log cabin a short, plump man was awaiting his younger brother. Waluigi had decided he was coming to stay with Wario, but Wario wasn't to keen on this idea. Having him stay was one thing, but in a derelict building in some large monkeys jungle was another. Wario was anxiously awaiting his brothers' arrival; he hadn't seen Waluigi for years. As far as Wario was concerned Waluigi was an idiot and a failure. Wario started to think of last time he and his brother had hatched a plan. He was awoken from his daydream by a clattering at his front door. Upon opening it, he came face to face with his brother.

'Wario!' Waluigi smirked. Waluigi was taller then his brother by a long shot and was dressed in purple and looked positively revolting.

'Waluigi' Muttered Wario, gaping at his brother. The last time he saw Waluigi, was when Waluigi was the same height as him and the same build. Waluigi looked at Wario's shocked expression and laughed.

'I've been working out' He smirked.

'What brings you here Waluigi, you don't come to see me without good reason' sneered Wario.

'I have a plan to get some quick and easy treasure, oh and a beautiful girl on my arm' Waluigi announced proudly. Wario laughed at his brothers' stupid idea. Waluigi with a girl on his arm? A Beautiful girl no less.

Wario intrigued by his brothers' determination in succeeding with his plan, decided to ask what his actually plan was. So there they were, brothers reunited after a long time and discussing Waluigi's plans for power, wealth and a relationship.
