Resting his hand on his shoulder, Mario smiled as he panted and looked up at Luigi.

"Whew! Thanks for helping me move my stuff bro!,"

Luigi smiled and playfully twisted Mario's hat, "Heh, no big deal. Glad to help." Being lean and fit as he was Luigi didn't even break a sweat. Mario playfully punched him back as he fixed his hat and walked off further into the castle to find Peach. Next on the agenda was to finally get those oath papers and what not signed! Stopping short, Mario turned around real quick and looked back at Luigi,

"Hey bro, we haven't gone out to eat in a while…how about it tonight? My treat say around…7ish? It'll be a little celebration for the New King in town," Mario said these last four words with a sly grin over face.

"Sure thing 'Oh-Modest-One", Luigi said bowing and tipping his hat off to Mario. Chuckling, Mario walked off deeper into the halls of the castle.

Luigi walked out the castle squinting a bit from the sudden brightness of the lighting outside. Looking at his watch the time read, 3'o clock. He had a good 4 hours…and one of the things Luigi preferred to do in his spare time was to work out.

Luigi returned back to his place real quick to change into a T-Shirt and some shorts. He then made sure to drink a couple glasses of water and started stretching. After that was all said and done, he exited the house and started walking down the sidewalk to the park. He gradually started walking at a brisker pace, and soon enough he was already jogging down the path. For Luigi, running was almost like flying. Energizing himself up with "Runner's High", he felt invincible to the world, as he ran effortlessly being as good in shape as he was. As he ran, his mind wandered on many things…the beauty of the Mushroom Kingdom, the trees and forests he passed by, the cloudless sky…and Mario. As his thoughts began to dwell on Mario they only served to dwell on him even more. He thought about him and Peach in the castle. Snuggling….hugging….kissing….caressing each other of every part of their bodies….

Oh for crying out loud get it together Luigi! He scowled at himself, his jog slowly turning back into a normal walking pace. It wasn't until he started to hear the sounds of other people among him that he realized he was finally in the park. Deciding to take a little walking break, he put his hands on the back of his head admiring the beauty of the park and observing people to get his mind off of the two lovers from before. But that didn't help at all considering how every other bench was occupied by a couple either holding hands or kissing.

Jeez, does God hate me today or something? Luigi grumbled and quickly started his run again to pass by the couples throughout the park. In every way Luigi tried to convince himself that he didn't care…but deep down he did.

Come on Luigi, it's not like you need to be in a relationship to be happy…learn to be happy with your own life, you don't NEED a girlfriend…this thought cheered him up a little and helped to get his mind off of things he considered nonsense. As he rounded the end of the park Luigi started heading back on the path for his house. Up ahead, he saw the bus stopping at the bus stop. Luigi thought about riding the bus back home instead of running back, but he didn't want people to think he didn't bathe considering how he was getting a bit sweaty now and probably started to smell. Thus he continued on running as he watched the bus drive away after dropping someone off. It had only dropped off one person, and it looked to be a very puzzled woman. She was on her cell phone a look of worry on her face as she had her conversation. She wore a beautiful yellow dress, and her auburn hair fell brilliantly over his shoulders and down to her back. Curiosity swept over Luigi as tried to get a better look at the girl while he was jogging towards the bus stop. Reaching closer and closer towards her the girl had finally turned cell phone still in hand, but this time her eyes had met his. Brilliantly sky blue eyes they were as they quickly flashed in Luigi's direction. Luigi took a moment to look into those eyes…but for some reason they suddenly became worried and almost had the look of shock in them. Luigi continued to stare at the expression behind the eyes confused until…BAM!

He had run right into the bus stop sign by mistake.
