Chapter 4- Go Helplessly

Luigi

I sat downstairs with a cup of tea, wondering if Mario was okay. That's when I decided to call Sabrina from her world to come and help me out.

I called her house. Much to my luck, she answered.

"Hello?"

"Sabrina? This is Luigi. Can you come over, please?"

She suddenly became worried."Is everything okay?"

"I'll explain when you get here. And please, hurry!

Damn, she got here fast! Sabrina was already in my living room by the time I got downstairs after checking on Mario.

"Hey. What's up?"

I mentioned for her to sit down. After giving her a cup of tea, I told her everyhting I knew about what's been happening the last few hours. She listened quietly,which isn't like her, so I knew she was seriously thinking about what I told her.

"Lugi, this Mr.L...wasn't he the one who gave YOU nightmares?" She knew that, too.

"That's what I thought, too. There's a piece of the puzzle I just can't seem to putt together at all.I don't know why Mr.L would want to torture my brother."

Sabrina nodded in agreement with me. Then she asked,"Where's Mario?"

"He's still asleep upstairs."

We became silent. Sabrina drank her tea, then stood up."Luigi, it's about time we have a talk with your brother."

We went upsatirs into Mario's room. He seemed like he was coming to."Mario? Mario, Sabrina's here", I softly said,walking in a little further.

Mario sat up. He turned in our direction."Hi..."

Mario

Luigi had called Sabrina over to help me out. She might not understand it, but then agian, I don't either. They walked into my room and sat next to me on either side of my bed.

"Mario, Luigi told me what happened. What was it about?"

I sighed,knowing too well that Sabrina would harass me til I told her. Thinking about that dream again, though...was something I didn't want to do. Not yet, at least.

I began to tell them about the latest ones. She actually stayed silent for once. When I finished, I shut my eyes and took in some deep breaths to keep from losing it.

That's when I heard it.'Must Be Dreaming' was playing gently on my radio. My eyes stayed shut as I focsued on Frou Frou's song.

"Zoom, enhance, hold...while I go helplessy sky high..."

I thought about thatt. I was going helplessly out of my mind,and until I could stop Mr.L...I would always be like that.

I'll always go sky high, helplessly, and...I'll always be afraid to do anything about it.

How come Luigi was the one having to knock some sense into me? He was always a bit of a coward, but he never knew...how truly brave he was until that day when he saved me from that blasted mansion. I always knew that he was tougher than what he looks. It took a lot for him to tell me about his nightmares, since Luigi is more of a 'keep-to himself' kind of kid. And then you got Sabrina...the black version of the princesses put together. She's tough as what, but worries and cares for all of us (even though everyone knows she loves Luigi-lol , mentally).

Me? I wasn't one who usually get so scared like this. I thouhgt that I knew why I wanted to kill myself at first, but now...I'm not so sure.

Maybe...if I do die, then this whole thing would end.

"I'm losing it..."

That was true. I was losing it. I didn't want my timid little brother, our closest friend, and everyone I loved dearly...to get hurt because of me.

My eyes fianlly opened. Something else came to me. Mr.L has the oddest ways of exposing your true fears, and then twists them into his own little sick creation. Luigi probably thought that, too.

"Mario?"

Luigi snapped me out of Daydream Land. "Yeah?"

"Mario, you need to stay in bed for awhile until we get this whole thing fixed. Okay?"

Luigi

Mario looked like other things occupied his mind right now. He nodded, then fell back, staring at the ceiling as the song continued to repeat.

"I'll check on ya soon, okay? Ya hungry?", Sabrina asked. Mario shook his head no.

Never in my life have I seen Mario so scared like this before. I'm usally the scared one, but not him.

Mr.L, one way or another , was gonna pay for doing this to my big brother.

A/N: Really short chapter. I used Frou Frou's lyrics this time in the ,sorry if it's crappy, but I couldn't quite get the plot stright anyway,so I hope it's okay! As always, please read and review!! And give me feedback! ( no Janet Jackson...sike...)
