Chapter Three: I'd Hate To Ask You, But…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mario came back into the house. "Luigi, I'm-a home!"

Luigi jumped, thumping his foot against the desk leg. "Ouchie! Welcome home, Mario!" said Luigi hurriedly, stuffing the half-finished song and picture of Daisy into his secret drawer.

Mario poked his head into the room. "What was that thumping noise?" he asked suspiciously.

"No-Nothing-a," stuttered Luigi, laughing nervously. "I--I have to go!" Luigi ran out of the house.

Mario watched him run out. "Hmm…" he sat down on his sofa, reached for the remote, and paused. "If I'm-a not mistaken… Luigi was heading for…" Mario shrugged, grabbed the remote, and turned the TV on. "Oh, well. Gotta get-a my gaming in…"

At the 'secret hideout'…

Waluigi looked up at the castle. Peach is inside… maybe I can ask her.

"Waluigi!"

"Waaaaahhh!' Waluigi turned around sharply. It was Daisy. "Oh. Uh, yeah?"

"You kept staring at me in the hideout."

Oh, no…! "Uh, yeah… er, sorry."

"Why? Did I have something on my face?" asked Daisy. "Or do I have a zit coming on?"

"Yes-- I mean no! No zit, but you did have a bit of sauce on your face."

"Did I? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Uh… It--It didn't seem very… er…."

"Waluigi?" asked Daisy suspiciously. "What?"

"Nothing, sorry."

"…okay. I'll be back in Sarascaland, getting things ready, okay?"

"Sure!"

Daisy stared for a couple of seconds, shrugged, and entered a warp pipe to go back.

Waluigi sighed with relief. "That was close…" He looked back at the castle. "Well, back to business."

With Luigi…

Luigi looked around, and walked to Wario, who was standing in the bushes for some reason. "Wario," he said, tapping the short and fat half-elf.

"In a minute," said Wario. He paused. "Wait, Luigi!" Wario turned around sharply. "I'm not doing suspicious! Really!"

Luigi raised an eyebrow. "That's what Sakon said in 'Majora's Mask'. It didn't work for him, and it certainly doesn't work for you, I know, I played the game."

Wario sighed. "Fine, whatever. What do you want?"

Luigi looked around. "Well… I'd hate to ask you, but…"

"But?" pressed Wario, intrigued against his will.

"Well… What kind of music does Daisy like?"

"…what?" asked Wario, not exactly what he was expecting.

"What kind of music does Daisy like?" repeated Luigi.

"Well… Okay, I'll tell you," said Wario, beckoning Luigi closer…

With Waluigi…

Waluigi entered the castle, looking around. Sheesh, this place is so bright and cheerful… Waluigi walked to Peach's bodyguards. "I'd like to see Princess Peach," he said.

"Why?" asked the Toad.

"Tell her that it's really important!"

The Toad stared for a few more seconds, then shrugged. "Fine, wait here for a moment…"

Waluigi sighed. "Fine, just hurry…"

The Toad walked in, and a few minutes later, he came back out. "Peach says you can go on in."

"Thanks…" said Waluigi, walking into Peach's room. "So… Peach."

"Yes, Waluigi? What is so important that you must see the princess of your enemy's kingdom?" asked Peach delicately.

"…Okay, I'll tell the truth. I'd hate to ask you, but…"

"But?" asked Peach.

"What kind of things do princesses like?"

"Even tomboy princesses?" said Peach shrewdly.

"…yeah."

Peach smiled. "Okay, I'll tell you the things Daisy likes best."

With Daisy…

Daisy smiled to herself, watching the sun set. "I can't wait at all! When I tell him, the world will be very… very surprised…" Daisy smiled to herself, thinking about the darkness of this badboy she loves so much…

Well, just who is this badboy? Are you enjoying the suspense? I hope so! Sorry, but this will be a bit late for Valentines Day…. Bye!
