Hello, my loyal readers! Lucky Moon is back with another chapter for you! I love writing this so much, especially when I get such nice, encouraging reviews from you guys. I got six nice reviews since my last update. Now time to respond to them!

Pikminfan: Thank you, kind sir. And who knows, it's Dimentio.

lizy2839: Better late than never! Ah, lucky you.

lizy2939 (again): Thank you so much! You're a nice repeat reviewer.

Guest: They say good writing should make you emotional, you know.

CalibreJun: You are just amazing. Seriously? Fan art based off of my story? I am so honored!

DjBennyD: Shipping is always fun. And I don't know…was there a way to switch Luigi back, or did a miracle happen?

Alright, now that we got that out of the way, are you ready for the chapter? Here it is!

(Ms. D's PoV)

"Hey! What do you think you're doing? Stop this!" Ms. D kept beating at the walls. "Let me go!"

"But we haven't had our fun yet." D heard Dimentio's voice floating around her, followed by what sounded like snapping fingers. The room suddenly became very bright, despite the lack of actual lights. She looked around to see nothing but green designs on the walls seemed to be moving, all in shades of green, dark and light.

"Where am I?" she demanded.

"This is a fun little place called Dimension D!" He flew around in circles cheerfully. "And since your name is Ms. D, I figured, what better place to play than Dimension D?"

"Ugh! This isn't fun!" D continued to pound at the walls.

"That's because you're still in that thing," Dimentio replied. With another snap of his fingers, the walls started melting away.

As Ms. D took a step toward the little clown,she was suddenly overcome with an overpowering sensation of dizziness that knocked her to the ground. "W-What's going on?"

"Well you see, this room is an ongoing project of mine." He hovered over her. "My latest change was to make everyone without powers who entered unbearably lightheaded."

She shook her head, trying to focus, as the walls around her spun and moved closer, then farther. The designs crawled ominously on the walls, seeming to be threatening her. "P-Please…make it stop…"

"Your Majesty, I know of your connections to Mario, Luigi, Peach, and many others who could threaten my safety." He lowered himself onto the ground, standing right in front of her.

Shaking her head again, D closed her eyes, trying to stop her head from spinning. "N-No…that's Daisy…n-not me…"

Dimentio sighed. "Even so, I can't take any chances." D opened her eyes to see him rising above the ground once again. He snapped his fingers, and another box grew around her. "Sorry Princess, but I have to send you somewhere far, far away."

"H-Huh?" she mumbled, unable to concentrate. Without any warning, he snapped his fingers one final time. At first, nothing happened. D looked around, confused. What did that even d-

BOOOOM!

Screaming, D stood up and ran to the other end of the box, away from where the explosion had happened.

BOOOOM!

This one was came from just inches away, throwing her back down. "No! Don't, please!" she pleaded, sobbing in fear.

BOOOOM!

Right from the middle of the box, another explosion. She felt the blast from this one on her left arm and leg, and it burned. Like. Hell. Shrieking at the blistering heat nearly igniting her limbs, D curled up in a tight ball away from it.

This is it…it's game over for me…

The floor below her started to get warmer.

BOOOOM!

(Luigi's PoV)

"Hello?"

The night shift guard from the night before, the same one who was still there when Luigi left this morning, groggily answered the phone. He was probably napping…

"Hey there, John! Uh, it's Luigi." Luigi glanced at the king, who had given him John's number. He nodded reassuringly at Luigi, who bit his lip and continued. "Uh, you told me you saw me leave with Daisy last night, right? Did it look like she was going willingly?"

"In that dream I had? It's hard to tell. I think she was asleep," he explained.

Luigi sighed and grimaced. "That's what I was afraid of. That was no dream, John. That was Daisy being kidnapped by someone who looks like me."

"What? Really?" John groaned. "It's literally my job to make sure that doesn't happen. I can't believe it. Have you found her? Is she okay?"

"Well, no, we haven't found her yet." Luigi frowned. "Look, it's not your fault. He's tricky. Just let me know if you think of anything else that could be helpful from when you saw him, alright?"

"Of course, that's the least I could do." John let out a long sigh. "I hope she's okay."

"Yeah, me too. I have to go look for her. See you, John."

"Alright, bye."

Luigi hung up the phone and looked at the king. "Well, it sounds like she really was kidnapped." He ran a nervous hand through his hair. "I have no idea where they could have went."

"Well, do you know where Mr. L came from before he lived here in Sarasa Land?" the king asked.

"The Underwhere," Luigi replied. "But before that, when we were still in the same body, he stayed in Castle Bleck."

"How do we get there?" the king demanded.

Frowning, Luigi shook his head. "Your Highness, with all due respect, I don't think you should go. You see, it's really dangerous, and-"

"What are you trying to say, boy?" The king narrowed his eyes.

"Well…" Luigi bit his lip. "You're just…a bit…older, so you-"

"I'm stronger than I look." The king crossed his arms. "There will be no discussion of whether I'm going. However, we might need a few more people to help out."

"If you insist," Luigi sighed. "I'll ask Mario and Peach, since they've both been there, and survived. I doubt Bowser will want to help again, though."

The king nodded. "I'll ask my youngest, smartest guard to join us, too."

"Which one is that?"

"You know who it is. In fact, you ran into him just yesterday when confronting Mr. L, didn't you?"

"Ugh, William?" Had that really just been yesterday? Things were happening crazy fast. "Is he really still the youngest?"

"Yep, the rest are all over thirty," the king explained. "Luigi, he'll be helpful. Like I said, he's the smartest guard I have."

"If you say so," Luigi mumbled. "Then I'll get Mario and Peach, and we can meet at the Sarasa Land castle."

"Alright," the king agreed. "Don't be too long. I want to get to Daisy as soon as possible. I hope it's not too late."

Part of Luigi wanted to ask what the king had meant by that.

But part of him didn't, because he already knew.

He knew neither of them wanted to say it.

(Daisy's PoV)

I'm me again.

That was the first thought Daisy had when she woke up.

She finally felt like herself again.

It was funny, the whole thing with Ms. D. While in some ways she was the same, with the same thoughts and beliefs, she was a completely different person. As Ms. D, she had taken on a whole new, disrespectful attitude, one that didn't really care about anybody else but herself. That wasn't Daisy at all.

Standing up, Daisy brushed the dirt off herself and looked around. It was dark and gloomy, with an odd purple river nearby that gave her chills just from looking at it. She stared at it, and could swear she saw boney white hands floating around in it.

"That'ssss the River Twygz, honey."

Daisy looked to her right to see an old man with a gondola. "O-Oh. Hello, sir."

He nodded in greeting. "I wouldn't recommend trying to sssswim acrosssss."

"Yeah, maybe not the best idea," Daisy agreed.

"Have I sssseen you before, or are you new?"

"Uh, I don't think I've ever been here before…" Have I? She looked around once again.

"Mosssst people don't come here twice," he chuckled. "Thissss issss the Underwhere, honey."

"What? The Underwhere?" She frowned. "I…didn't make it to the Overthere?"

"Hmmm…have you sssseen Queen Jaydessss?"

"No…why? Should I?" I have no idea how this works…

He nodded. "She will weigh your ssssinssss. If they are light enough, she will ssssend you to the Overthere."

"Great!" Daisy grinned. "How do I get there?"

"Acrosssss the River Twygz," he replied. "I can get you acrosssss for four coinssss."

"What?" Daisy shook her head. "I don't have any coins."

"No coinssss, no ride."

"Ugh!" Daisy grunted. "Lisssten here, you ssstupid troll! How am I sssupposssed to get coinsss when I'm dead?"

"Mocking my lissssp won't help you." The old man crossed his arms.

Daisy glared at him. "How else am I supposed to get across? I need to get to Queen Jaydes!"

"Or you could sssstay here," he suggested.

Sighing, Daisy studied her outfit. She was still in her pajamas. "Is there a place around here where I could get a swimsuit or something?"

"Thissss issss the Underwhere, not a mall." He raised an eyebrow. "Why? You can't sssswim acrosssss."

"I have no choice," Daisy sighed. "But, I can't swim in this."

"Sssswimming through that at all issss a bad idea."

"Pffft. What's the worst that could happen? I'm already dead," Daisy pointed out.

"Thosssse handsssss will hold you down forever," he warned. "It'ssss not fun. Pleasssse, find ssssome coinssss."

Daisy frowned. "What's your name?"

"I'm Charold."

"Well Charold, I'm Daisy. Now that we're on a first name basis, can you please get me across?" she begged.

"Daissssy?" Charold asked. "Assss in, Princessss Daissssy of Ssssarassssa Land?"

Daisy felt her face light up as she nodded. "Yeah, that's me!"

"Royalty ridessss for free. Hop in." Charold picked up his oar.

Grinning, Daisy hurried into the gondola. "Thanks so much, Charold!"

She leaned back, relaxing a bit as he pushed the boat away from the shore, pulling them slowly across the river.

Luigi and I always wanted to take a gondola ride together…

The gentle ride made her think of him, and all the good times they'd had together, although the river wasn't exactly the most romantic spot. Daisy had heard tales about it, and that it was filled with sinners' tears, and that if you listened closely, you could hear their muffled screams. I wonder if that's true… She focused on the sounds around her, and found that yes, there was a faint "Eeeeeeeeee!" coming from the water. This place is awful.

"We've reached your sssstop."

Daisy looked up from the river to see a large, dark castle ahead of her. "Thanks, Charold." She climbed out of the gondola onto the land in front of her.

Charold nodded. "Sssssee you."

"Wish me good luck," Daisy called as she headed for the castle.

I think I'll be needing it.

(Ms. D's PoV)

I'm free.

That was the first thing Ms. D thought when she woke up.

She felt somehow liberated after death in some unexplainable way.

Grinning, Ms. D stood up and surveyed the dark area around her. There were eerie trees all around, and the sky was an ominous blue/green/purple color. She turned around, and found that she had ended up right beside a large dark castle with a blue-green tint to it.

Awesome! I can work for Queen Jaydes here!

She ran for the stairs, eager to get started.

This is going to be the best day of my afterlife!

"Whoa, whoa, slow down there, hot stuff." An odd purple creature was blocking her way.

D narrowed her eyes. "What are you?"

"I'm a D-Man," he explained. "State your business. You look new, so I'm guessing you're looking to have your sins weighed?"

Scoffing, Ms. D shook her head. "Oh please, there's no way I'd go to the Overthere, even if my sins are light enough. I want a job!"

The D-Man nodded. "Proceed."

"Thank you." Ms. D straightened her posture, marching confidently into the castle.

Maybe someday I'll convince her to send me back to the world of the living.
