Chapter 2: Weird feelings
The first two paragraphs are told in third-person point of view.
While Daisy and Luigi were searching for the Royal Palace, Mario and Peach were preparing their selves to welcome them. Peach had an idea. She wanted to hide in the washroom with Mario and surprise them when they arrive. Mario thought that the idea was childish but agreed with it.
They hid in the washroom but Toadette didn't see them, so she locked the door without thinking twice about it. Of course Peach wasn't happy with that. Instead of her surprising Daisy and Luigi, Toadette's action surprised her.
Luigi's POV
When we found the palace, we rang the doorbell. No one opened the door, so we rang one more time. But again no reaction. Daisy impatiently knocked on the door. I'm not only having a princess next to me, but also a quite a wild girl.
Suddenly, a small creature that looked like a mushroom opened the door.
"Oh, Daisy and…um…Lewis?".
I corrected him ''Luigi". We came in and I saw for the first time what a real palace looks like. Wow, I am gonna live there?
Daisy looked shyly at me. I wanted to hug her… I asked the mushroom-like creature where Mario and Peach were. He answered me that Mario and Peach were in the washroom and that they wanted to come out soon. He also introduced himself. He was Toad, one of the butlers in the palace. Then, we heard someone screaming "Help!" in the washroom.
A pink mushroom girl that looked like Toad ran to the washroom and unlocked the door. She apologized and a blond princess came out.
"Belated surprise!" she happily said.
"Ouch!" said a man who was in the washroom too.
He looked a lot like Mario, but he had a mustache.
"I hit my head on the wall! Ouch, this hurts. Oh,welcome,um... I mean, surprise!"
I looked at the man.
"Mario, is it you? With mustache?" I asked.
"Yes! My little brother! Luigi! I can't believe how long we haven't seen each other!".
Peach hugged Daisy, but Daisy didn't react. She was just staring at me the whole time. I found her behavior strange. But I also liked it when she looked at me with those sweet eyes. It's just that I've never been in such a situation before. It makes me feel happy and confused at the same time.
Peach tried to make Daisy look at her instead at me, but failed, until Daisy told her:
"Peach we have to talk. Alone, please."
Mario asked her why she wanted to talk alone to Peach.
"Because we haven't seen each other for a while and we have to talk about some girl stuff that bothers me.'' Daisy explained.
So, Peach and Daisy went to another room. Mario whispered:
"You heard it Weegee, girl stuff. We have to spy on them."
I was a bit curious. Well, quite curious to be honest. I wanted to know if they were talking about me. The girls were in Peach's room. The door was locked, so me and Mario watched them through the door hole. Peach asked Daisy if she wanted to first see her guest room. The only sound that came of Daisy's mouth was:
"No! Luigi!"
Peach asked "Luigi, what?"
But Daisy's answer shocked me but also made me feel wonderful. "I'm in love! With Luigi!"
To be honest, my feelings were indescribable when she said that sentence. Peach told her that I was a good choice. Daisy said some very sweet things about me:
"I think Luigi is so adorable and cuddl…well he is cute."
I even heard the word that she didn't finished. It was a bit shocking, but girls seem to be that way.
Peach noted something "But…One second! You just know him for 20 minutes! "
Daisy's feelings developed in the same strange way like mine. But then she said that she thinks that I am not interested in her, I wanted to go, search the keys for the room and tell her that I love her with all my heart, and I had this feeling since I met her when I was a child. Not only since I met her 20 minutes ago.
Peach didn't know about that incident many years ago, where I gave Daisy that flower, so she said:
"Daisy. He is not interested in you because he just knows you for 20 minutes and isn't that fast like you are."
Daisy explained about the incident where she tripped, I catched her, and we looked at each other's eyes. She also added something special, something that not even I knew.
"When we looked at each other's eyes, I just wanted to kiss him."
This surprised Peach. "You wanted to KISS him? Are you crazy? You don't do such a thing after 20 minutes! You have to wait at least 30 minutes to kiss!"
I couldn't believe that. I really didn't believe it, but this was the truth. I just arrived at Mushroom Kingdom and already had something special with a girl. Or did she mean another Luigi? Mario didn't listen, as someone called him on his mobile phone. No, this must be a misunderstanding. How can a such a beautiful princess like her like such an awkward klutz like me? The truth is that I wanted to kiss her too. But it would be to early. Not just ten minutes to early, like Peach said. Way to early.
The rest of the day I just felt strange. I was very tired because of the trip and my guest room is very small. And…I wonder if Daisy meant me. I have to sleep…But I can't…
The next day
While eating breakfast, Daisy, Mario, Peach and the Toads were talking about the exams. Toad asked us in what subjects we would write.
"I don't know, but I'm sure that I won't write in maths. My stomach aches every time I have to write a test in maths." Mario answered.
"I'm sorry Mario, but everyone has to write in maths. It's a basic subject. Maybe, the Toads can make you a tea after the exam." Peach suggested.
Daisy said that her nightmare was biology. She was right, having to read the whole biology book is a nightmare.
"Calm down, guys." Toad said. " Don't think to much about that stuff. Show your two guests the Toadtown golf place. I think Daisy and Luigi like sports."
Peach was excited with Toad's idea.
"Oh, that's a wonderful idea. Come on Daisy, I have a very cute golf dress for you." she said.
Daisy wasn't very excited. She seems to like sports, but I can understand it if she thinks that golf is boring. We have something in common. That's good. Peach didn't listen to Daisy, she just dragged her to her room. Mario had a golf outfit for me too, but he wasn't that excited to show it me. The outfit included green-white stripped overalls and hat with my L symbol, a blue shirt with white stars on it and the brown shoes I always wear. Mario's outfit was like that too, but in Daisy came out, I couldn't recognize her. She looked even prettier than before. She was wearing a pretty short yellow dress with her flower emblem on it. She still had her flower earrings on. She was also wearing yellow ballerina shoes. Peach had the same outfit in pink. She looked the most excited with our outfits. She kept saying how nice we were looking.
We walked to the golf place as it was close to the palace. Now I remembered something. I have to make a driving license as soon as possible. Taking the bus or entering Mario's smelly car every day will get into my nerves. When we arrived at the golf place, I felt strange, because I felt like if I already were at this place. I was wondering why I felt so strange until Mario interrupted my thoughts.
"Here you picked that flower and gave it to that girl, you remember? "
I couldn't believe that. It was right here, ten years ago. Suddenly, Daisy came to me.
"So, you were the boy who gave me that flower? " she asked me.
She took my hands and held them.
"Yes" I answered.
"I have to ask you something, Luigi. Do you still have the same feelings you had back then? Because I do..." she whispered.
I didn't really understand that she said. Because she said it in a very low tone, but also because it sounded too nice to be true. Sadly, Peach interrupted this special moment.
"The game starts. Daisy, you are Luigi's caddy and I am Mario's, okay?"
Daisy didn't really know what a caddy does. Peach didn't know it too, so she explained her theory.
"Well...I think you say nice things to the player. Or you cheer on him. Something like that...".
Daisy still didn't understand. " Okay, I like your shirt Luigi. "
I tried to explain her what a caddy really does but she still didn't get it. So, when the game started, Daisy irritated me. She looked at me with a flirty look in her eyes the whole time. Each time I looked at her, she sent me air kisses. And even if I wasn't, she told me that I was the best player in the world.
I never heard that caddies are supposed to flirt with the player...I like Daisy, I could even say that I love her, but there is one reason why I can't start anything with her. She is too fast and I'm too slow. Opposites attract, I know, but will this be like that in our case too?
So, I decided to make that chapter a bit longer don't forget to leave a review.
