Here is my third chapter and once again I must thank my reviewers!

Chapter 3

It was Thursday night and Amy was sat on her sofa moping about. She kept taking quick glances over at her clock. It was about half eight and Amy was feeling very subdued. Normally at this time on a Thursday she could be seen heading over to the Toad Lodge. But not tonight, no poor Amy had been blown out for another woman.

Not that she had any grounds to complain. She did agree to her and Waluigi's arrangement being just a casual one. She agreed that it wasn't going to be an actual relationship, so really she should have expected it. She just wished that she could have been better prepared for it.

Now she faced going to Peach's party tomorrow night and coming face to face with him and Plum, the person whom he was on a date with at that very moment in time.

Meanwhile as Amy was sat at home feeling sorry for her self, Waluigi had indeed gone out for the night with Plum. They were sat down in a quiet restaurant and had already finished eating.

Waluigi wasn't sure as to why he was actually here. He had a good thing going with Amy, but she wasn't exactly girlfriend material. Too much had transpired between them for that. He hadn't wanted a girlfriend, but then now he had to admit that it would be nice. He was actually going to have a quick fling with Plum; he actually thought that she was an airhead. She wasn't very good for conversations and he found himself getting bored quickly.

As Plum droned on about her week and how she had to cue up in one of her favourite shops for over half an hour Waluigi's mind flickered over to thoughts of Amy. He wondered what she was up to tonight; he wondered if she had planned anything to do now he had ditched her.

"Waluigi?" Came Plums voice. Waluigi looked up at her and sighed. Obviously she had just asked him a question. He didn't want to look like he had just ignored her so he answered.

"Yes, of course," He said, hoping that he had covered up well. To his surprise and shock Plum squealed with delight and beamed at him. He felt relieved; he had obviously made her happy.

"I'm so glad. I though you were going to say no! Pick me up tomorrow and we can go to Peach's party together. I'm so happy we are going together!" She gushed. Waluigi stared her in disbelief. He'd agreed to go to the party with her. He mentally told his self off and then tried his hardest to pay attention to what Plum had to say for herself.

After the date had ended a relieved and mentally drained Waluigi returned to his home. He walked in and sat down. He found his cell phone in his pocked and picked it up. He contemplated ringing Amy but then had second thoughts. He would ring her at the weekend.

The next morning Amy woke up with a hang over. After about nine o'clock the night before, she had found a couple of bottles of wine and had proceeded to drink them to herself. She had relied on the wine to knock her out for the night. If she didn't sleep straight away she would have spent the night thinking about him and his date.

Also at some point during the night Daisy had rang her. She tried to cry off from the party but Daisy was having none of it and convinced Amy to meet her at the party.

For the rest of the day Amy lolled about the house doing absolutely nothing and tried to shift her hang over. Eventually as time passed on it got closer to the party and with two hours to go Amy decided that she might as well get ready.

Flicking through her wardrobe she had no idea as to what she was going to wear. She had a fair few beautiful dresses but none that matched her mood. Suddenly she came across a long black dress and decided that fit her mood perfectly. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She liked what she saw but then became downbeat on herself.

How is it, that the guy who once claimed that she was crazy because she didn't shy away from him was the one to ditch her? He often told her no woman wanted him, so how was it that she was the one left on her own? The more she thought about it, the more she was down on herself. She felt ugly and unwanted and it got to her.

Tears started to fall down her cheek and the more she wiped them away the more they fell. She walked over to her bed and sat down. She took in deep breaths and came to her senses. She looked at the time and quickly did her make up and hair, before getting in a mushroom cab that had an impatient driver in it.

"In a hurry are we?" He asked sarcastically. Amy mumbled an apology and made a mental note not to hire him again.

They got to Peach's castle in no time and Amy paid the cab driver and quickly removed her self from his presence. Amy hung around outside and waited for Daisy to show. It wasn't long before she heard someone call out her name. Amy spun round to see Daisy and Maple waving her over. Smiling Amy went to join.

Daisy wore a yellow dress and Maple had on a long white dress.

They all greeted each other excitedly and commented on each other's beautiful dresses before going inside to the party.

"Is Plum coming?" Amy asked Maple; who made a funny face.

"Yeah. She actually convinced Waluigi to go with her," Maple said. Daisy laughed.

"They're already here," Daisy told Amy. Amy's heart leapt into her thought. Now she would see him.

By time this news had registered properly they were in the party hall. Amy looked around and sighed, this was going to one long night.

"Oh my! Look there they are!" Daisy said loudly and pointed over in the direction of Plum and Waluigi. Amy and Maple both looked. Daisy and Maple walked over as they tried hard not to laugh at Plum. Amy reluctantly followed.

Waluigi looked at Amy in surprise, she looked back and bit her lip. It was impossible pinpoint when the spark between them lit up but Amy was determined to ignore it. He was here with Plum, not her so she decided not to do anything.

"Amy," He greeted her curtly. He knew she was ignoring him and wasn't prepared to let her do so. She looked him in the eye without a smile.

"Waluigi," She responded back in a cold manner.

"You two know each other?" Daisy asked in surprise. Amy had never mentioned him.

"Oh you could say that," Amy said dryly. Waluigi noted the tone in her voice and decided to conclude the matter before anyone else noticed.

"Just mere acquaintances, that's all," He told them. They all seemed to find this plausible and then left the couple too it. Daisy, Maple and Amy walked away. Amy didn't look behind her though it was hard.

Waluigi watched her go and felt a little weird. He had no idea she was going to be there. He didn't even know she was friends' with Daisy. But then he had never really asked her, all that time they spent together and he had never once asked her about herself.

The rest of the party went without incident. Amy had managed to stay away from Waluigi and had used many excuses to do so. Eventually she had managed to get away from the party. Daisy accepted that she was tired and bid her goodnight. Maple had already gone home because she had further to go. Deep down Amy knew Daisy was sort of happy that she had gone home, because she could then devote her attention to her partner Luigi. This suited Amy fine and she flagged down a mushroom cab; thankfully it wasn't the same driver as before.

She got home and sat down. Her feet hurt and she was tired. She checked her cell phone and she had three missed calls. She checked to see whom they were from and she was surprised to learn that they were from Waluigi. Obviously she wasn't going to ring him back, so she turned off her phone and retired to bed. She would deal with him another day.
