Rosalina slowly began to wake up, her head still feeling dizzy from an unknown reason. Her vision was blurry, but began to finally clear up after a few seconds. She suddenly realized that she was in an unfamiliar area, and that she last remembered being in her library on the observatory. The area appeared to be the living room of a house, and it was slightly beat down due to carelessness in house maintenance. She wanted to get up and look around the house, but she discovered that she was tied to a chair, wrapped in thick rope from the shoulders down. Whoever had done this to her had made an effort in not letting her escape. She began to call out to the different rooms in the house, hoping this was all a misunderstanding. A few minutes later, a somewhat familiar person walked in from another room.

"Oh, you've woken up." He said.

Rosalina knew she had seen this man before. He had several traits that seemed unforgettable, a tall extra-lanky frame, purple attire, and a distinguished, pointy, thin mustache. His cap showed a symbol of a vertically flipped L, which Rosalina knew well as the symbol for Luigi of the Mario Bros. She quickly determined that the greatest way to get out of the predicament would be to talk to the man standing in the room with her.

"Um, who are you again? I know I've seen you before, but I still have no idea who you are." She asked.

"What?! You've never been told about the awesomeness that is Waluigi? Or all the stupid lies that the other Mushroom Kingdom idiots have said…" He muttered.

"I apologize that we have never had any kind of formal greeting. However, this is not how I would like to meet people. I have not been to Earth as much as I would like, and do not like the idea of unknowingly being taken into someone's home for a greeting."

"I didn't bring you here to meet you; I already know who you are. Don't even worry about all this "formality" nonsense. I don't know your name though, it's probably something girly and lame as a princess would have."

Rosalina ignored the inappropriate last part of his sentence. "If you didn't bring me here to meet me, then why have I been taken prisoner in your home?"

"I knew you'd be asking questions the second you were conscious. So I've already prepared myself to answer none of them."

Of course the man Waluigi was going to be difficult. Rosalina remembered the Mario Bros. telling her how much of a nuisance he and his partner-in-crime Wario were. She wondered if she could negotiate with him, even if just to find out what in the world was going on.

"Okay Waluigi, if I tell you what my name is, in return will you tell me what you want with me?"

"Whatever." He replied. "I'm hoping that will get you to stop asking questions."

"My name is Rosalina, and I am the Princess and protector of the Cosmos." She told him.

"I guess Rosalina's not all that bad a name. It rolls off the tongue kind of nicely." He replied.

"Thank you." She said. "Now it is your turn to give me information."

"Yeah, yeah, the reason I kidnapped you is…Hahaha, I'm not telling!" he laughed.

"Waluigi! We had an agreement, and you didn't follow it!"

"That's something you're going to have to get used to, now that you're stuck with me."

Rosalina let out a sigh. She wasn't going to let his rude behavior get her upset so easily. She would just have to keep trying to find a way for him to give her the information she needed.

A/N: Thanks everybody for the support in this story so far. I've realized that the chapters are shorter than I thought they were when I wrote them, so I'm probably going to slow down my update progress and make longer chapters. This will most likely be more enjoyable. Anyway, happy reading.
