Spettro was waiting in the clouds of the 6th world with the Sprixies. They could see the Overthere a few feet away and Orange was getting curious.
Orange turned to the ghost puppy and asked, "Do you think we can go see what that is?"
Spettro titled his head, unsure.
Orange stated, mostly to herself, "Now I know I'm BORED! I'm talking to a ghost puppy!"
Spettro barked as he licked her face, smiling.
Orange giggled as she said, "Thanks boy. I just hope they can wrap this up soon..."
...
Meanwhile, in the Overthere, all of the Nimbis freaking out as Whibbi was talking to Nastasia.
"So our leader is gone," said Whibbi, sadly.
"I'm, um, afraid so," Nastasia replied, nodding just as sad.
Whibbi questioned, "And Mr. L?"
Nastasia answered, "In, um, the Comet Observatory, with the princess. Turns out that he destroyed the guest room he was staying in and she wanted him to, um, clean it up."
Whibbi stated, "Makes sense. I hope that the Underthere is being notified of this."
"I, um, sent Mimi to attend to the details," Nastasia reassured.
As Whibbi mourned over the death of their leader, Nastasia couldn't help but do the same.

-Flashback: 'Pure Hearts Be True'-
The night was quite at Count Bleck's castle. Everyone was in bed, sound asleep. Well, except for Mr. L, who was working late in his garage. He was working on Brobot-L type at 3 o'clock in the morning, quite grateful that the garage was soundproofed by Dimentio after the last time the bandit was in there working late. Mr. L was on the ladder, fixing the glass of the cockpit of where he would sit.
Mr. L commented, "Just a few more adjustments and we'll be all ready to crush those heroes."
"Up late again? Questioned Count Bleck."
Mr. L took a look down as he saw the count standing there.
The bandit answered, "My count. I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"
Count Bleck replied, "Not at all. Answered Count Bleck. But tell me, why do you insist staying up this late, asked Count Bleck."
Mr. L responded, "I couldn't sleep. Been thinking a lot lately about why I am haunted by the color violet and why I have these scars on me. Like I'm marked or something."
Count Bleck told him, "Try and get those things out of your mind. They are not good since they distract you so much, pointed out Count Bleck."
Mr. L nodded and said, "I'll try."
Count Bleck stated, "Good, now get some sleep. Said Count Bleck."
Mr. L nodded as the count left. Nastasia was listening on their conversation, with a small smile on her face. It had been awhile since she heard Count Bleck sounding so wonderful...so...in charge.
-End of Flashback-

"...a lot of things happened back then and we were always in constant danger of being stopped by Mario. But that didn't stop us from being what we truly were...ourselves."
Mr. L sat in the guest room that afternoon, thinking over what he had been told and what he recently told Rosalina. He had taken off his shirt to look at the scars on his body. He was still confused as to why he had them.
"I think Luigi has them too."
The Green Thunder looked as he saw Rosalina behind him.
He perked up at this and asked, "You think he does?"
Rosalina shrugged as she answered, "Yes, I think so. Probably most of them fighting the ghosts from the haunted mansion in Boo Woods. Most of them from the Dark Moon incident. And so on."
Mr. L admitted, "I sort of had a hand in the post-first mansion incident."
Rosalina asked, "How?"
Mr. L explained, "Well, had a hand in giving Mario a nightmare to where I teamed up with the Boos and creepy-leader-of-the-Boos to torture him."
Rosalina hissed, "I can't believe that you would do that!"
Mr. L shrugged as he defended, "Hey, what can I say? I was evil at the time."
Rosalina decided to let it go and asked, "Which reminds me...what are you going to do now?"
Mr. L went into the bathroom real quick and came back out again, this time wearing the white tuxedo that he arrived in.
He answered, "Ask you out on a date."
...
Back with our heroes, they had just cleared out Spook Seasick Wreck, where they had ran into a lot of problems before getting all of the green stars and stamps. The enemies that they ran into were: Bullies, Boos, and Peepas.
Mario commented, "And done...like Easter dinner."
Luigi's stomach growled as he groaned, "You had to mention food?"
Peach hissed, "Tell that boyfriend of mine that we need to stop for something to eat."
Violet sweat dropped as she pointed out, "Uh, I'm pretty sure you just did..."
Blue added, "Yeah, I happen to agree..."
Mario told them, "Let's head out and eat dinner with Spettro."
Luigi cheered, "Yay! I'm making us Mama's lasagna!"
Peach chirped, "Sounds delicious!"
Violet replied, "Lead the way!"
Blue said, "Yes, onwards to dinner!"
With that, they went back to camp where Luigi treated them to home cooked lasagna.
...
Meanwhile, Mr. L and Rosalina were out dancing together in the Mushroom Kingdom after their meal and movie. Neither of them wanted to admit to it but they were both having such a good time. Rosalina was glad that she made The Green Thunder stay. Mr. L was pleased too, letting people in the Mushroom Kingdom refer to him as "Lucas" in public.
Rosalina whispered, "I'm glad that I made you stay."
Mr. L whispered, "Same here, princess-with-a-beautifully-haunting-name."
Rosalina blushed as she asked, "Are you still haunted by the color violet?"
Mr. L answered, "Not since I was killed by koopa-with-a-weight-problem. Now I'm haunted by the color light blue."
Rosalina turned red as Mr. L kissed her, pulling her close to him. Rosalina returned it, with Fawful watching in the shadows.
