Hey, guys! I'm back! I hope I didn't take too long with this chapter. I've been waiting for my new wireless mouse to arrive before I could write more. But you don't care about that, do you? You just care about the story.

Well, you know what I care about? Reviews. I love hearing your thoughts on my stories, what you like, what you want, etc. And this time, I got 9 reviews! That's a lot, for me at least. Now, I shall take some time to recognize my wonderful reviewers.

Drommy: Thanks, I'm glad you liked the chapter. Luigi is 26 now, and Daisy is 23.

iiStardust: I wasn't even going to write a sequel, but so many people like you wanted one that I just couldn't refuse.

lizy2839: I can always count on you for enthusiastic reviews. Lots of great stories have sad endings, remember that.

PrincessDaisy269: Interesting theory, that would be a cool idea. But who knows?

The Sc-Fi Gamer: Oh, thanks! I'm glad somebody is taking notice of my writing techniques.

Gamer Gabe 2.0: Good luck with the story!

Guest 1: Rest assured I will never give up on a story. Not even My First Mistake, and that story was indeed a mistake.

Guest 2: I'm happy you liked it. I hope you like this one, too.

Guest 3: The wait is over!

Wow, it really makes me happy when I get so many reviews. Each one is like a hand-made gift from one if my amazing readers. Every review I get makes me smile. Thanks, guys.

ATTENTION: IF YOU WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO A CHAPTER THAN READ IT, READ THIS ANNOUNCEMENT!

I recently had the brilliant idea to record myself reading my stories and upload them to YouTube. If you're interested in that, my channel is LuckyMoonWriter. I'll start as soon as my microphone comes in the mail.

Finally, onto the chapter! I switch PoV's a lot in this chapter, be prepared. I thought that would help capture the full emotion of both Daisy and Luigi.

(Daisy's PoV)

Daisy fixed up her hair and makeup, making sure she looked beautiful for the big date tonight. Luigi was waiting patiently outside, and she was sure he looked handsome, as always.

"I can't believe it," Daisy whispered, tearing up as she stared at her reflection. "I'm getting married to Luigi… Luigi, my boyfriend since high school… 'Luigi the Italian Hottie'... I'm going to be Mrs. Luigi Mario…"

"Daisy, are you alright?" Luigi called. "I thought I heard crying…"

"No, I'm fine!" Daisy replied. "I'll be out in just a second!" She put the finishing touches on her makeup, and opened the door.


(Luigi's PoV)

Oh shit.

She's emotional…she's crying...she doesn't actually think I'm proposing...does she? Luigi thought about this. Everything everyone had been telling him...could it have been true?

He recalled everything that had led up to this point. "Our ten year anniversary...a night to remember…"

"Ugh!" Luigi shouted, accidentally out loud, slapping himself in the face.

"Luigi? Is everything okay?"

Luigi looked up to see that Daisy had come out of the bathroom, and was now standing right in front of him.

"D-Daisy!" he stuttered. "Y-yeah, I j-just ummm, I don't know, uhh, are you ready? For our, um, anniversary date?"

Daisy gave him a quizzical look. "Yeah, I'm ready… Are you sure you're okay?"

Luigi inhaled slowly, calming himself down. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I just-" That's when he noticed her, really noticed her, how beautiful she looked tonight. She had on a light-colored lavender dress, adorned in violet frills, stopping just above her matching heels. He stared at her beautiful face, decorated in all kinds of glittery, sparkly makeup. It didn't look messy, as you would expect from all that glitter, it just looked beautiful. Her beautiful hair rested on her shoulders, a hint of sparkle added in there, too. "Whoa…"

Daisy's face broke into a beautiful grin. "Do you like it? I went shopping, and I got this dress just for tonight!"

"Daisy… You look beautiful…" Shit, she really is expecting a proposal…

"Oh, thanks!" Daisy's grin widened. "You look great, too, Luigi!"

Luigi smiled shyly, feeling the same way he had on their first date - nervous as hell. He also felt bad. Daisy had put so much work into looking special for tonight's date, while Luigi just looked the same way he always did on special occasions.

Of course, Daisy was expecting a proposal.

Luigi considered his options. He could play dumb, and pretend he had no idea what she was expecting. He could tell her ahead of time he wasn't proposing, so she wouldn't expect it.

But those both sounded like they would break her heart.

Or he could propose. He might not have been expecting it, or even ready to do it, but he could still-

Wait. The ring. He didn't have a ring. He couldn't even afford one, not one fit for a princess, at least.

What am I going to do?

"So, you ready to go?" Daisy asked with a sweet smile.

Luigi sighed and nodded. "Yeah, let's go!"


(Daisy's PoV)

Luigi led Daisy into the best restaurant in town. It was a nice Italian place, owned by his uncle. Daisy grinned as she looked around at the fancy decor. They were led to a nice table, secluded from everyone else. It was nice and quiet, and very romantic.

Luigi had been acting nervous all night, and Daisy knew exactly why. He shouldn't be so nervous… He should know I'll say yes…

As they sat down, Daisy noticed Luigi staring at her with a face full of anxiety. "Luigi, are you sure everything's okay?"

"Y-yeah," Luigi stuttered. "I just, uhhh…"

"Yes, Luigi?" This was it. He was preparing for something big. Daisy's heart started beating faster.

Luigi took her hands. "Daisy, I need to ask you something important…"

Daisy's breath caught, and she nodded. "Y-yes?"

"Daisy," he whispered. "You don't...expect me to...propose...do you…?"

Daisy froze. Her heart stopped in that moment, as everything seemed to slow down. "N-no… I… Of course not…" She felt tears well up in her eyes. "I-I, umm…" Suddenly, the tears started sliding down her cheeks, bringing her makeup down with them.

Of course he wasn't proposing. She wasn't loveable enough for that. She was just that annoying, other princess.

That's all she would ever be.


(Luigi's PoV)

That could not have possibly gone worse.

Luigi thought that just asking Daisy if she really was expecting a proposal would be the best way to go, but apparently, it was the worst thing he could do.

He watched tears drag makeup down her beautiful face. "Daisy…" She shook her head and stood up. "No, Daisy, wait! Please!" But she was already up, out of her chair, turning around… "Daisy! Come on, don't go! Please! I-It's not that I don't want to m-marry you, i-it's just that-"

He never got the chance to finish his sentence. By the time he got that far, she was already gone.

Daisy was gone.


(Daisy's PoV)

Ignoring Luigi calling after her, Daisy fled the restaurant. She felt stupid, so stupid, in her stupid dress, with her stupid heels, and her stupid makeup. Tears continued to slide down her face.

I'm so stupid! I can't believe I ever thought he would want to marry me…

"Daisy!"

She heard him calling after her. Irritated at herself for wearing heels while Luigi was wearing something he could actually run in, Daisy tried to run faster, but she could hear him catching up to her. Ugh… I don't want to talk to him…

"Daisy, please talk to me! Come on, I love you!"

Daisy turned down an alley and hid behind a nearby building. She knew she was just being stubborn and immature by avoiding Luigi, but she couldn't bring herself to face him.

"Daisy? Where did you go?" Daisy heard Luigi run past her. She leaned against the wall, and slid down to the ground, crying into her hands.

"Hello there, Princess."

Daisy gasped in surprise, staring at Luigi, who was suddenly standing right in front of her. "H-how'd you get here so fast?"

He stared at her with calm eyes. "I've been here for a while now."

The more Daisy studied him, the more she wondered if he really was Luigi. He was wearing something completely different from what Luigi had been wearing. The man had on a black jumpsuit with a green handkerchief around his neck. Daisy looked closer, and gasped once again, noticing that his eyes were gray, not blue.

"Is something wrong, Princess?"

She swallowed nervously. "Who...who are you…?"

He tilted his head. "Who do I look like?"

"You...look like...Luigi...but I know you're not…" She kept staring at him, trying to figure out who or what he was.

"How do you know I'm not?" He kept staring at her with calm, emotionless eyes.

"W-well...Luigi just ran that way...a-and...he was wearing a suit...p-plus his eyes are blue, not gray…"

"You must be very close to Luigi, if you notice the differences between us." He kept giving her that same unnerving stare.

Daisy stared back, trying not to let him see her nervousness. "Yes. I'm his fianc- I mean, girlfriend."

"You're the girlfriend, huh? And you were expecting a proposal, but it never happened?" He took a step closer.

Daisy didn't say anything. Instead, she shrank against the wall, wondering what he wanted with her.

"Well, Princess-"

"How do you know who I am?" Daisy demanded. The man stared at her again, seemingly shocked and possibly irritated at being interrupted. He took another step toward her, and grabbed her crown. Daisy bit her lip. "Oh…"

The man threw her crown down the alley. "Hey!" Daisy screamed.

"Shut up!" he hissed. He took one final step closer, and crouched down to where she was sitting, so that his head was just slightly above hers. "I find it interesting that Luigi has never told you about me, if you're so close."

Daisy frowned. He had a point. Why didn't Luigi ever tell me about this man? "Who are you?"

The man stood back up and crossed his arms. "Who am I? Well, I guess you can think of me as...Luigi's twin brother."

"But...Mario is his twin brother…"

"His other one!" the man snapped. "We're triplets. Nobody knows about me, though. I suppose the great Super Mario Brothers can't risk people knowing about the dark nature of their other brother." He narrowed his eyes, staring more intensely. "You may call me Mr. L."

"D-does that stand for something?"

Mr. L glared at her. "You do not need to know that right now. Instead of talking about me, we should talk about you."

Daisy raised her eyebrows. "What? Me?"

He nodded. "You ran here in tears, trying to escape my brother. May I ask what happened?" He crouched down again and whispered, "Did he try to hurt you?"

"W-what?" Daisy stood up. "No! Of course not!"

"Sure…" He stood up too. "Because princesses run away in tears into dark alleys behind dark buildings all the time."

Daisy took a step back. "He's not like that! I just...really didn't want to talk to him…"

Mr. L stepped closer to her, cornering her. "Why not?"

"B-because he told me he wasn't going to propose, and I started crying, and I was embarrassed and didn't feel like talking...I-I was being stubborn…" Daisy pressed herself closer to the wall.

"Why do you look so scared, Princess?" Mr. L asked, taking yet another step closer. "Do you fear me?"

Daisy trembled. "Y-you're kind of close…"

He touched her forehead, and ran a finger down her face. "You're very beautiful. No wonder Luigi's kept you around for ten long years."

"How did you know that?" Daisy asked in a whimper.

Mr. L leaned in, his face inches away from hers. "I know all."

Daisy stared in fear. "What do you want?"

She felt his tongue press against her cheek. He whispered into her ear, "I want you."


Did you like that chapter? I hope so. It was a little short, but I thought it would be best to stop there, with all the suspense and everything.

Before you all tell me that Mr. L and Luigi are the same person in the same body, and that Mr. L was killed, and that he's not Luigi's brother, I know. I already know. And I have an explanation for why everything in my story is breaking these rules.

Anyway, thanks so much for reading! Please remember to leave me a review and tell me what you think! See ya!
