Hey guys! I'm back again already! Not that I was rushing or anything, I just think it's really fun to write about Mr. L. So I dedicated all of my free time since my last chapter to writing this one.
Guys, before I go on, I must take a minute to talk about a very serious issue that every writer faces at some point or another – technology glitching and you losing everything you wrote. This happened to me after I wrote the best chapter ever in the history of ever. I lost it. I screamed and cried and threw a temper tantrum and I definitely did not act my age. But. I gained control. I gained confidence. I rewrote that beautiful chapter, and it came out even better than before. That is how this chapter came along. Never give up on something you write, even if you lose it.
And yes, I did just go on and on about how great this chapter is. Maybe it's not the best piece of writing ever, but it's the best thing I've ever written.
Now, it's time to look at reviews! I got…two. However. It's only been four days. So, that's actually a good amount, for such a short amount of time.
Pikminfan: I know you said not to rush, but it's here already!
Lizy2839: Ah, your encouraging enthusiasm once again. Thanks so much! Glad to see you like it.
Alright! Without further ado, here's this exciting chapter!

(Luigi's PoV)
There was a scream.
It sounded like Daisy.
Luigi stopped on his tracks and turned around. It had come from the alley he had just run through.
As he bolted back down the alley, Luigi couldn't stop thinking about how this was all his fault.
(Daisy's PoV)
Daisy screamed as she pushed the man in dark away. "N-No! I-I'm with Luigi!"
A low chuckle erupted from Mr. L's throat. "The man who didn't have the balls to propose to his girlfriend after ten years? Daisy…" He pulled her close, his face inches away from hers. "…you know a beautiful princess like yourself deserves better than that."
Daisy's heartbeat quickened. "L-Luigi would never corner someone in an alley like this…"
"You're free to leave any time you like, Princess." Mr. L ran a hand down her cheek. "All you have to do is ask."
Swallowing nervously, Daisy tried to calm herself. "L-Luigi would n-never…be th-this…"
"Bold?" His breath tickled her ear as Mr. L whispered the single word. He ran his lips from her ear over her cheek, his mustache teasing her skin. "Daisy," he sighed as he made his way back to her ear, "Luigi simply isn't brave enough. Admit it, Princess. You aren't satisfied with him."
"Y-Yes I am," Daisy whimpered.
"Tell me Princess, what do you love about him?" The question crawled right out of his lips and up her ear. "Could it be his courage? We both know that, just like his boldness, that part of him was left in his high school years. Is it his sweetness? His loyalty? Princess…" It wasn't until then, when he squeezed her, that Daisy realized his hands had been moving down her waist. "…any man lucky enough to have you would be."
Daisy pushed his hands away. "S-Stop it!"
"Why?" Mr. L pulled her close again. "Is it because you know I'm right? Daisy, Daisy, Daisy…don't you realize…I'm better than Luigi in every way." Without any warning, he pressed his warm lips against hers.
A surge of guilt hit Daisy as she realized that part of her was enjoying it. Quickly, she pushed him away, using all her strength to slap him. Mr. L grabbed his cheek with one hand and her wrist with the other.
"Now, that, Princess," he hissed with a grin, "is what I call passion." He yanked her glove off.
"Hey!" Daisy shouted, trying to grab it back, but he threw it aside with her glove.
"Princess…" Mr. L grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer. "You're only making me want you more…" He pressed his tongue against her cheek once more, dragging it across her face, over her lips.
"No!" Daisy moaned, pushing him away.
"Why do you resist me, Princess?" He kissed her forehead and dragged his lips down her nose to her lips. "We both know you want me."
"B-But…L-Luigi…" Daisy's voice was barely above a whisper.
"Why do you insist on remaining loyal to Luigi?" Mr. L's lips grazed Daisy's once again. "A princess such as yourself deserves someone so much more…passionate."
Suddenly, the foreign yet familiar lips of Luigi's brother were pressed against her own yet again. Mr. L forced his tongue inside her mouth, pulling her body closer against his. Daisy tried to pull away, but found herself helpless against his strong grip.
As she raised her arm to slap him again, Mr. L grabbed her wrist. "Now, now, Princess, I think once was enough." Daisy tried to pull her arm away, but he just squeezed tighter. Daisy whimpered in pain as she felt his strong hand start to crush her tiny wrist. Without loosening his grip, Mr. L kissed her again, jamming his tongue back in her mouth.
"Hey! Get the hell away from her!"
Mr. L slowly pulled away, and as Daisy felt the relief of seeing Luigi flood her veins, she also found that she was somewhat…disappointed.
Luigi and his twin stared at each other, tension filling the alley, until Mr. L, clearly deciding he wasn't done, went back to kissing Daisy. She whined in protest, trying to pull away. Mr. L tightened his grip on her wrist. Daisy shrieked as she felt her wrist crack, but that only made him squeeze tighter. She soon found herself crying again as pain screamed through her arm.
Luigi said nothing else, which terrified Daisy. What if he left? No…no! Mr. L is breaking my wrist! Oh Luigi, please come back! Daisy continued panicking, until finally, her wrist, waist, and face were freed from Luigi's darker twin. She fell to the ground, sobbing. When she looked up, she saw Mr. L holding the side of his face, and Luigi standing as if he were ready to fight, looking way more pissed off than she had ever seen him in the ten years that she had known him.
"I. Said. Get. Away. From. Her," Luigi hissed.
Mr. L smirked. "Come on, share, bro. She tastes so good!"
Luigi gave him a nice kick between the legs. "I'm not your brother. Never come near my girl again."
Mr. L lied on the ground, growling. He glared up at Luigi. "Alright. Fine. I'm not your brother. Which makes it worse that you've never told your precious 'girl' about me."
"Luigi, what is he talking about?" Daisy whispered as she rubbed her arm.
Luigi frowned at her as Mr. L stood up. "Go on, Luigi, tell her. Tell her the truth about why you disappeared for a few months two years ago."
Luigi shot him a look. "How did you even get here? I thought you were dead."
A loud laugh burst from Mr. L's devilish mouth. "I know you did!" He cackled evilly, then grinned at Daisy. "You see, Princess, I was created by an evil wizard as a second personality in Luigi's brain. But I became as strong as if I had my own mind. I took over his body. I became my own person, trapped in another man's body. Until I was killed by a psychotic little fairy named Dimentio. Now, when that happened, Luigi and I were both sent to the Underwhere, in separate, but nearly identical bodies, except for my gray eyes." He crossed his arms and leaned against a wall. "I worked for Queen Jaydes for a while. I got on her good side, and eventually, convinced her to send me back to the world of the living, where I have been lurking in the shadows, learning everything I could about you, and falling in love with this beautiful woman." He grinned at Daisy, which she returned with a cold glare.
Suddenly, Luigi scooped Daisy up in his arms. "I never want to find you near her ever again. Get lost." Squeezing her tight, Luigi carried her bridal style. Daisy snuggled against him as her boyfriend carried her out of the valley, leaving Mr. L behind.
That stupid tiny part of her brain was already starting to miss the evil man.
(Luigi's PoV)
Shit, this is all my fault… I broke her heart, she ran away, and Mr. L cornered her in a dark alley… This is just fantastic…
Luigi couldn't stop thinking about how much he hated himself for letting this happen as he held Daisy close against him. He carried her down the street, stopping at a hospital.
"Uh, how's your arm?" Luigi asked, breaking the silence that had remained between them all night.
"I think my wrist is broken," Daisy sobbed.
Luigi gave her a gentle loving squeeze, then set her down outside the door. "We should probably get that checked out…"
Daisy took in a deep breath and nodded, wiping her tears away. "Luigi, my crown…"
"I got it, Daisy." Before she could worry herself any further, Luigi pulled the crown and glove he had found in the alley out of his pocket.
Daisy smiled a little as she put crown back on her head, holding the glove instead of putting it back on her hurt wrist. Then her smile was gone, and her gaze fell to the ground. "Luigi…are you…mad at me…?"
Luigi stared at her. "What? Daisy, that's crazy. You were attacked in an alley, you didn't do anything wrong." He pulled her close and hugged her tightly. "Daisy, I'm mad at me. I'm mad I let this happen to you."
Daisy squeezed him. "You…w-weren't t-talking to m-me…so I th-thought…" She was crying again.
"Shhh, Daisy, it's okay," Luigi whispered as he held her close. "I'm sorry. I was just lost in thought. None of what happened to you was your fault." He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. "Now, let's go in and see what they can do for your wrist."
(Daisy's PoV)
Daisy lied in bed the next morning and rubbed her wrist. She had an orange cast on, with Luigi's signature.
Mr. L had squeezed her wrist pretty tight. It was badly broken. She'd need to have a cast on for weeks.
Luigi was still asleep. He had passed out soon after getting home. It had been a long night. Daisy was relieved to know that Luigi wasn't angry, like she thought. He had come to save her, like Mario always went to save Peach. My hero…
Daisy thought more about her hero, how he'd come to save her. Luigi had looked very unlike his usual self, angry and ready to fight. And he did fight. It was like seeing Mr. L brought out a side of him that had been gone since high school.
Mr. L… The mysterious man found his way back into Daisy's mind. She couldn't believe he had once been just an alternate personality in Luigi's mind. He wasn't just another Luigi. No, she knew he was a completely different person. And she could see the difference between them, like his grayer eyes, and longer hair, and the fact that he was so, so much more muscular…
Shaking her head, Daisy dragged her tired body out of bed. She got herself some coffee and tried to forget about Mr. L.
"Hey, Honey."
Daisy looked up from her coffee to see Luigi standing by the stove, making breakfast. She grinned. "Good morning, Mr. Hero!"
Luigi chuckled. "Hero, huh?"
"Yup!" She stood up and wrapped her arms around him. "You saved me, you're my hero!"
A smile took over his face as his cheeks turned red. "I don't even think Peach has ever called me a hero, even when I helped save her."
"Well, she should have," Daisy replied, kissing his cheek. "But, um, Luigi? Can I ask you something?"
Luigi wrapped an arm around her. "But of course, anything for you."
Daisy bit her lip. "Why didn't you tell me about Mr. L?"
Luigi frowned at her for a second, then dropped his arm and sighed. "Because…I just…didn't want you to think there was a better version of me out there…I'm so sorry, Daisy."
She studied his face, remembering when he had disappeared, when Mr. L apparently came into existence. Everyone had told her that he had been in a coma, but she couldn't see him because they were stuck in another dimension. "You lied to me…"
"Daisy, please…" He gave her a pleading look. "I really was stuck in another dimension. It's just…I thought we would all be better off if Mr. L stayed a secret. I thought he was dead, anyway. And I wanted to forget about him." Luigi sighed again and covered his face with his hands. "Talking about him just makes the nightmare seem to keep going on, never ending."
"Oh, Luigi…" She hugged him once again. "I understand." She let go and looked down. "That was one hell of an anniversary last night, huh?"
"Oh, yeah!" His whole face lit up. "I talked to my uncle, he got us another reservation for tonight, on him!"
Daisy gasped. "Really? Oh, Luigi, that's great!"
Luigi kissed her quickly. "And you know what? I'll pretend I don't remember what your dress, hair, or makeup looked like, so you won't have to try and come up with a whole new look."
Daisy giggled and squeezed him as tight as she could with her broken wrist. "Thank you, Luigi."
"No problem, Daisy." With another quick grin, he turned back to the breakfast he was making. "Are you hungry at all?"
"Nah, I'm going to have breakfast with Peach," she explained, gathering her things to get ready to leave. "Thanks anyway, though."
"Ah, right, I forgot about that. Alright then, have fun!" Luigi called as Daisy headed for the door.
She kissed him on the cheek. "See you later! I'll be back in a bit!"
And with that, she left.
If she had any idea what was going to happen, she would've just stayed home.
(Luigi's PoV)
Luigi was so relieved to remember that Daisy had plans that morning.
That gave him time to pick up that ring he had ordered.
Ah, a nice li'l chapter, full of Mr. L drama, and ridiculously short sections of Luigi's point of view. Well, what did you think? Did you like Mr. L? I did.
