Hello! I'm back, already, with the new chapter! It's kind of short, but there was nothing else that I wanted to happen in this chapter. I thought it would be best saved for the next.

So, what else is new? Well, I think I've figured out how to keep the thoughts italicized. I don't know about you, but it was really bugging me, the way the thoughts just blended in with everything else. Hopefully, it'll stay now.

Alright! Now, it's time to look at the reviewers:

Guest: Ah, I'm glad you're hooked! I hope you'll keep following the story!

Lizy2839: Yeah, gotta love William. He's one of my personal favorite characters, though that cuocld be because he's my OC. And, I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

Now, it's time for the chapter! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of Nintendo's characters.

(Luigi's PoV)

"Ah, it's going to be great!" Luigi exclaimed, as he and Mario shared a brunch pizza. "A fancy restaurant, live music, and I even got Toodles from Poshley Heights to sing a song dedicated to her! Daisy's going to love it. I just know it."

Mario raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what's all this special celebration about?"

Luigi rolled his eyes. "I've told you a thousand times. It's the ten year anniversary of our first date!"

Mario nodded. "And all of these fancy plans sound...pretty romantic…"

Luigi grinned. "I hope Daisy agrees."

Mario nodded again. "Even more romantic than...when I proposed to Peach…" He then proceeded to wiggle his eyebrows.

Luigi choked on his pizza. "Whoa, whoa, Mario, let's not get too ahead of ourselves! I don't think Daisy and I are ready for that yet."

"Yeah, it's only been ten years, what am I thinking?" Mario scoffed. "Seriously, Luigi, you're going to want to start at least thinking about marriage. I'll bet she already is."

"Whoa, okay, okay, Mario, you need to calm down," Luigi insisted.

Mario raised an eyebrow. "I am calm. You're the one who's freaking out. I'm just saying, after ten years, this is something she might be expecting. After all, you've already been living together for a few years."

Luigi shook his head. "No, just-... I'll propose when the time is right, okay? But not tonight. It's our anniversary. I can't just propose on a night like this. It'll distract from the specialness of the night."

"Or add to it," Mario pointed out.

Luigi just shook his head again. "No, Mario. Just...trust me."

Mario sighed and rolled his eyes. "Your relationship, not mine…" Then he glanced at Luigi again. "Your breakup, not mine…"

(Daisy's PoV)

"Ugh, you have nothing to wear!" Peach complained as she dug through Daisy's closet. "That's it. We're going to have to go shopping." Daisy grinned at her. "What? Oh, let me guess. You're thinking of when you went shopping ten years ago."

Daisy giggled. "You read my mind!"

Peach smiled. "At least this time you won't have to try to hide."

Daisy giggled more and grabbed her arm. "Come on, let's go!"

Peach joined in the giggling as she let Daisy pull her out the door.

(William's PoV)

After seeing the princesses again, William found himself thinking about everything that had happened ten years ago. He remembered following Daisy around, and how she tried to use him to make Luigi jealous. He remembered picking on her, and deep down, even liking her a little. Now, however, he was married to another princess, Princess Alexia from the kingdom of Dellionland, who he had met at the party Daisy threw when she was no longer grounded.

William just happened to be thinking about this after work as he was walking home to the little house he shared with Lexi in Sarasa Land. Interestingly enough, Lexi's case was identical to Daisy's. She lived in a house in another kingdom, parents didn't approve, etc. However, unlike Daisy, she was married. To me, William marveled. She's married to me. And he just so happened to be thinking about all of this as he stopped on his way home to pick up some pizza from the pizza place across the street from his house. And as he was at said pizza place thinking said thoughts, he just so happened to bump into Luigi and his twin brother Mario.

"Ah, Luigi!" William cheered. "Nice to see you again! I was just thinking about everything that happened all those years ago. And why was I thinking about this, you ask! Well, I'm glad you did! Because I just so happened to have been talking to your girlfriend earlier, while I was at work. Or should I say, your fiancée," William added with a wink.

Luigi rolled his eyes. "Ha, ha, very funny. Everyone's making fun of me for not proposing yet. I will when the time is right. I just don't think we're ready yet. Speaking of marriage, though, if you're married to a princess, why are you still working?"

"Now, Luigi, that is none of your concern. Mario is married to a princess, yet still works as a plumber. Same with you! Ah, wait, you haven't proposed yet. Speaking of, you have no plans to?" William asked this because he was puzzled after his conversation with Daisy. I could've sworn she said he was going to.

Luigi shook his head. "Not yet, no, but someday… I just don't know when, or how, or where-"

"Or who, what, or why?" William teased.

Luigi glared at him. "Nice to seen you haven't changed, Bill."

William narrowed his eyes and pointed at Luigi. "Hey, you are not permitted to address me in such a fashion. The only person who I would allow to call me by such a name is Lexi. Now, good day, my good sirs." William picked up his pizzas and turned to leave, but the thoughts kept floating through his head. Daisy thinks he's going to propose, but he says he's not going to… As fun as it would be to let Luigi's life be ruined, that would be cruel to Daisy… "Luigi, wait." He turned back to him.

"You're the one who was about to leave," Luigi pointed out.

William sighed. "Do you have anything special planned for your anniversary tonight?"

"Of course I do," Luigi replied. "A fancy restaurant, fancy food, classy music, and Toodles singing a song dedicated to her."

William frowned. "Sounds very nice...and romantic...and it might lead Daisy to...expect something…"

Luigi shrugged. "Nah, she wouldn't. She knows that I wouldn't propose without talking to her about marriage first."

"Are you sure?" William asked. "Look, Luigi-"

"William, I'm done talking about this! Just go!" Luigi snapped.

William narrowed his eyes once again. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

(Daisy's PoV)

At the store, Peach threw the fanciest dresses at Daisy she could find, going on and on about something about colors and fabric, but Daisy wasn't listening. She was too excited, so she found herself thinking only of what would happen that night. I wonder how he'll propose… What he'll say… Will propose from across the table, or get down on one knee?

"Daisy!"

"Huh?" Daisy's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Peach's voice.

"What's your best color?" Peach gestured to the various colors of dresses.

"Huh? Oh. Orange and yellow," Daisy replied.

Peach rolled her eyes. "Okay, one, you look good in that, but not that good. Two, you always wear orange and yellow. Tonight is special! You need to wear something else." She picked up another dress of a soft lavender color. "Oooh, how about this one?" She held it up against Daisy. "Perfect! Go try it on!"

"It is nice," Daisy agreed, admiring the dress. "Okay, I'll try it on! It is perfect!" She grabbed the dress and ran off in search of a fitting room. She soon found one and eagerly changed into the dress. "Whoa," Daisy whispered, admiring her reflection in the mirror. "Peach!" She threw open the door, and saw that Peach was waiting right outside.

"Wow!" Peach gasped. "Daisy, you look beautiful! That dress was meant for you!"

Daisy grinned. "Yes! Okay, this is definitely the dress I'm getting!" Without another word, she dashed back into the fitting room and changed out of the dress.

"Oooh! Nice choice! I've always loved this dress!" the check-out girl gushed. "So, is it for a special occasion?"

"Yes!" Daisy squealed. "My boyfriend is proposing tonight!"

The check-out girl grinned. "Oh, congratulations!" Then she looked closely at Peach and Daisy. "Wait...aren't you...the princesses?"

Peach smiled. "Why yes, we are."

The girl gasped. "Then this is such an honor, Your Majesties! And...this is going to be a royal wedding!"

"Hush! I'm sure Daisy doesn't want everyone trying to eavesdrop on her proposal," Peach whispered.

Of course, everyone who had heard was already planning to.

(William's PoV)

William was out again, at the mall, shopping for Lexi's birthday.

And, just as he had bumped into Luigi earlier, William bumped into Daisy.

She was wandering around the mall, talking to Peach.

About the upcoming proposal.

William sighed. I have to do something…

"Why, hello, Your Majesties! How lovely to see you again!"

Peach and Daisy looked over to him and smiled. "Hello, Billy!" Peach replied.

William rolled his eyes. "I'm just going to ignore you. So, I couldn't help but notice you discussing a certain possible upcoming proposal."

Daisy giggled and nodded. "Yes! I just know Luigi's going to propose tonight!"

William held up a finger. "Ah, well, yes, about that-"

"I'm so excited!" Daisy squealed. "I've been getting ready all day! I even bought this dress, and-"

"You bought a dress?" William asked. "You don't even know for sure he's going to propose!"

Daisy rolled her eyes. "Of course I do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought the most expensive dress at a place that doesn't accept returns. Look, don't try and ruin the night for me. I've been dreaming of this night forever. You have no idea how depressed I would be if he wasn't proposing on a night as special at this."

William sighed. He couldn't do it. He couldn't tell her. Although he had gotten over his crush on her long ago, he still thought of Daisy as one of his closest friends. And the last thing he wanted was to break his friend's heart. "Daisy… Just don't get your hopes up too high if you're not positive he's actually going to propose, okay?"

"Oh, I'm sure," Daisy replied. "How can I not be sure? We've been together for ten years. I know him. And I know he's proposing."

Ugh, she's going to have her heart broken tonight, William realized. "Daisy, I don think you should-"

"I'm done with this conversation," Daisy snapped. "Stop trying to bring my mood down." She turned around and walked away.

"Wait, Daisy!" William called.

But she was gone. Not that she would've listened to him, anyway.

Daisy was just begging for heartbreak.

So, there it is. Chapter 2. Did you like it? I hope so. I know that Toodles is just a wealthy Toad, not a singer, but oh well.
