The next day, Mario had to go with Peach to a special meeting of the Beanbean Kingdom. Therefore, that left Luigi by himself. He wasn't even invited to come. "Don't worry Luigi," Mario had said before he left, "I'll be fine by myself. You take a nice break okay?" Luigi shook his head, well he sure felt like a second banana today. Mario had everything a young man could want: a girlfriend, attention, and good looks. All the citizens know all about him, but Luigi was a different story. 'Hello green pants.' One would say, or, 'Mr.Greenie! Good to see you." It made Luigi sick to his stomach. The only people who remembered his name were his older brother, Peach, Toad and Toadsworth. Even Wario and Waluigi remembered his name well. He sighed again and was ready to walk home when someone in a navy blue hooded robe dashed past him. "Please stop!" A young voice shouted from the crowds. A girl who looked like a female version of Toad ran from out of the buzzing life of the Kingdom. "You're Luigi are you not?" She asked. Luigi flinched in shock; this was probably the first person other than his friends and family who knew his name. "Uh, yes that's me alright," Luigi replied a bit startled, "What's the matter?" "The heir to the throne of Sarasland," She replied nervously, "I was supposed to be watching her and…oh…she got away. Could you go fetch her?" Luigi didn't know what to say. He had to snatch the heir to Sarasland, and it was a girl. He dashed off after the princess. Luigi figured the best way to find her was if he ran along the roofs of the houses. He did a back flip jump onto the roof of one of those houses. Sure enough, he saw that cloaked princess approaching on the other side of the house. Luigi smiled, now was his chance. He was ready to leap on top of her, but his foot slipped. He tumbled down the roof, and with some dumb luck, landed on top of the princess.

He got up, aching all over. Luigi took the cloak from off her face and his face nearly went red. The princess had a face as pretty as Peach's. Her brown hair reached her shoulders and her blue eyes stared at his in shock. "Would you…" She murmured calmly. "Yes?" Luigi's said dizzily. The princess gave Luigi an uppercut to the jaw. "Get off of me?" She finished loudly. Everyone turned to see what the ruckus was all about. Luigi got up rubbing his aching jaw. "You practically weigh a ton!" The princess hissed. "I do not," Luigi growled, "I was just doing what your escort told me to do!" At this, the princess' rage melted away, "Y'mean Toadette? I got her worried?" She got up and dusted herself off, "Well no point lying here like a rock…" She was walking off when Luigi stopped her. "Wait," He called, "What's your name?" "Daisy." She called back.

"What're you here for anyway?"

"Official business, I have to see Peach."

"Why'd you run away then?"

"That's none of your business!"

"Oh, really?"

Luigi hauled Daisy up onto his shoulder and started to walk back to where he last saw Toadette. "Let go of me," Daisy shrieked, "You pervert I'll have a restraining order put on you! I'll…" "Pervert?" Luigi hollered, his face going beet red, "I am no pervert! I'm clean. I've never looked into the girls' dressing room before!" Everyone was scratching their heads, staring at the two bickering figures. After about twenty minutes of pure fighting, the two finally made it back to Toadette, whose face lit up with joy to see that her princess was okay. "Princess Daisy!" Toadette said cheerfully. Daisy sniffed, "I told you not to call me a princess. Just call me Daisy." Toadette frowned, "Sorry, I was just worried you got hurt or something and I…" She turned to Luigi who by now was getting ready to walk off. "Wait Luigi sir!" Toadette called after him. Luigi turned around, "What is it Toadette?"

"Daisy has something for you…"

"Oh?"

Daisy sniffed again. "I just wanted to say…" She kicked Luigi in the place no man would like to be kicked, and ran off. "Thanks for nothing you perv!" Luigi keeled over in pain, "I'm not a PERVERT!"

Luigi lay on the ground. He was beat up by a girl, how embarrassing. At least they weren't around to…"Hey look my old chum," A familiar voice sneered, "Our little green friend here got beat up by a girrrrlllll!" "I did not!" Luigi screamed. He got up to meet with the fat person wearing a yellow sweatshirt and purple sweatpants. A blue W emblazed on his yellow cap. "We saw the whole thing," A skinny person wearing a violet shirt and purple pants, an upside down L emblazed on his purple cap. "You got beat up by a girl. There's no denying it! Isn't that right Wario?" Luigi's fists clenched. His face went red with embarrassment and he slumped. "At least you're not afraid to admit!" Wario laughed. "Indeed, we'll still consider you a man though." Waluigi sneered. The two high-fived each other and walked off laughing. Luigi sighed in exhaustion, "What a day…" Later that day Mario and Peach came back from the meeting. "What's wrong with you Luigi," Mario asked, "You look as though you got beat up." Luigi groaned, "It's a looooong story…But why've you come back so soon? I thought you had a special meeting that would last all night!"

"We thought so too, but Princess Daisy went missing and…"

"Princess Daisy?"

"You saw her?"

"Earlier today I did!"

"Why didn't you contact anyone?"

"…She kicked me in the shins…"

Mario shook his head, "Mama mia…" He then frowned, "Do you at least know where she went? Her parents are worried sick about her!" Luigi scratched his chin thoughtfully, "I think she ran off somewhere towards the East…" "That's where the Mushroom Kingdom café is." Peach said. The two brothers nodded. "Alright, I'm going to get her," Luigi muttered, "Besides I have a few things I want to say to her…" "I'll come too." Mario insisted. "Me too!" Peach replied. "Mario, you got to keep a careful eye on Peach, in case Bowser comes back," Luigi replied simply, "And Peach, y'know how Toadsworth doesn't want you out there at night. He is afraid of those rapists after all…" Mario and Peach nodded in agreement. Luigi ran out the door without another word. Luigi took out a feather and a yellow cape appeared around his neck. He leaped high in the air and flew like a bird. He looked down and spotted the Mushroom Kingdom café. He came in for a landing and made a perfect landing on the ground next to the entrance. A short boy with a mushroom cap was standing there. He wore a light blue shirt and short white pants. "Toad," Luigi muttered, "What're you doing here?" "I was simply about to enter the café," Toad replied, "When I saw the prettiest girl I ever saw inside. She had a pink mushroom cap. There was also someone else with her, a brown haired girl, around your age Luigi." He started to blush, "I'm not really sure what to say to her…" Luigi could not help but smile. Toad could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried. Luigi left Toad standing outside the entrance and entered the restaurant. It looked like an ordinary restaurant but it served some awkward delicacies. There was the mushroom burger, the jalapeno hot dog, salad with cinnamon topping and even garlic fingers…and by garlic fingers, I mean diced up garlic meant to look like French fries, and Wario's favorite treat. However, it also had the usual line-up of hamburgers, French fries and milkshakes. Besides, if you gave those odd treats a chance, they will actually taste all right.

Luigi spotted Daisy sipping a milkshake with Toadette. Daisy's escort spotted him, "Oh Luigi sir, what ever brings you here?" Daisy looked up and smirked. Luigi sniffed, "Oh nothing in particular, just got a report from my brother Mario saying that the princess of Sarasland disappeared a few hours ago!" Daisy nearly choked on her burger, "How'd he…?" "The report came in while he was heading back to the Mushroom Kingdom," Luigi continued, "Your parents are worried sick."

"Like they care about me!"

"Why'd you run away?"

"…Because."

"…Well?"

"Because I was sick of it," Daisy finished, "Sick of all this royal life!" "But…why?" Luigi asked quietly. "I was raised as a princess all my life," Daisy replied coldly, "I was home-schooled by the best teachers in the kingdom. I never even got the chance to make friends like the other kids. The only friend I had was Toadette. She's my escort, but she's a good pal." Toadette smiled warmly to the comment. "My parents are no better," She continued, "They just want me to become the heir to the throne. I'm always locked inside the castle, and the only times I got to play outside was to take place in the castle courtyard. You don't know how long it's been since I sank my teeth into a hamburger. Mom calls them fattening, but do I look like I care?" Luigi was at a loss of words. "So one day I had enough," Daisy muttered, "Late at night, I ran away along with Toadette. I wanted to get away from that so-called 'royal life'." Luigi sniffed, "Well living the life of a middle-class person is no better. My big brother Mario and I have to unclog toilets to get a decent amount of cash." He shuddered as he remembered unclogging the dreaded prison toilets. Those were a nightmare. Daisy chuckled, "You should see the prison toilets at our castle. They make the Mushroom Kingdom's look like a spa." The three burst into laughter. Soon Luigi decided to sit back and order some food. He bought the princess and her friend two hamburgers a jalapeno hot dog and three milkshakes, his treat. The two talked about their daily lives and when Luigi bit into his jalapeno hot dog, flames burst from his mouth like a geyser. Daisy and Toadette giggled as Luigi gulped down his milkshake to cool himself down. Soon the two were back to discussing how well their schools were, and Daisy even commented on how well Luigi was doing in Science. Daisy revealed that she was actually quite timid around new people but acted tough to cover it up. Luigi smiled and even chuckled a little here and there when she told him about some of her adventures through the castle.

Soon, the three of them were finished eating and talking. "Well, I guess I better take you back now…" Luigi muttered. "Yeah…I guess you should." Daisy replied quietly. Sarasland was not too far away from the Mushroom Kingdom, at least a two-hour long trek. The two eventually reached the massive gates of the castle. "So this is where you live huh?" Luigi asked. Daisy nodded. Luigi knocked on the door, and the massive doors swung open. A gruff old man much taller than Luigi was standing at the door with a plump old woman. "Well there you are," the gruff old man said roughly, "Were you having a romantic time with this boy here?" "No father…" Daisy muttered. "I hope not," The plump lady said, "You ought to know better than to date those greasy boys." "I know mother…" Daisy muttered quietly. Luigi sniffed, he was not greasy and he wasn't interested in all that dirty stuff those other boys did. Mario wasn't either. "Toadette, I ought to have you replaced," Daisy's father hissed, "You were supposed to keep her in the castle not run with her!" Toadette swallowed, "Yes my lord, my mistake…" Luigi couldn't help but glare at these two figures. No wonder Daisy wanted to run away. Her parents were a nightmare. "Your time in the courtyard has been cut to only 15 minutes." Daisy's mother hissed. "But mother, I…"

"No buts!"

"…"

"I expect to see an apology note in my room by tomorrow morning."

"…Yes mother…"

"And as for this boy…"

Luigi flinched, "Y-yes ma'am?" Daisy's mother looked him right in the eye. "You may as well leave now; we have this situation under control." Luigi turned to Daisy who was looking down at the ground. Toadette was close to tears. Luigi was about to wave goodbye to his two new friends, but the doors had already closed.
