Waluigi and Rosalina spent the whole night at the carnival park. They had so much fun that didn't want that moment to end. But unfortunately it had to end some time.
After they had their time together, both were ready to go home.
"Thank you for spending the night with me. It was fun." Rosalina said while holding a plushie toy.
"No problem, princess! Waluigi is at you service!"
She giggled.
"I knew that you were a nice guy on the inside." She smiled.
Waluigi only scratch the back of his head a little shy.
Him? A nice guy? Nobody ever said something like that to the figure. Usually he was portraited as someone evil, naughty and doubtful. But for her to say that... Was it really true? Was Waluigi just a sweet nice guy? Was that evil side of him just for show off?
"Well... I guess it's time for us to say bye." She said.
"Yeah..." Waluigi said with a sad expression.
Rosalina asked Luma to turn into a Launch Star and then prepared to go back to space.
"Will you come back soon?" he asked.
"Of course! We'll have other occasions to spend time together. So cheer up." She said while holding both his hands.
"Will you wait for me?" she looked into his eyes.
He hesitate a little before giving the answer.
"Y-yeah... I will."
"Great! So we see you next time, Waluigi! Thanks for everything!" she waved.
Waluigi waved back.
The taller was just making a count down of the seconds left for her to disappear again. But for some reason, he didn't want her to go. He wanted to stay a little more by her side. He was feeling that...
That empty sensation inside of him was always there every time Rosalina left his planet. It was like a piece of him was taken away from his body. Was that the feeling people felt when they missed someone?
Waluigi tried to control but he couldn't hold back. Seeing her going away like that to just come back after months... He just couldn't.
The tall plumber ran in direction of the cosmic princess and held her hand so that she couldn't leave.
"Waluigi?" she said.
"Stay..." he demanded.
"What?"
"Please stay!" he shouted with his eyelids pressed.
She kept silent.
"I don't know why... But everytime you leave I feel this emptiness inside of me!" "It hurts... And I hate it!"
"Waluigi..." she looked at him with calm eyes.
"Please Princess..."
What was just happening here? There wasn't many times that Waluigi used the word "please" with someone. This must be something really serious on his part. He was shaking nervously and didn't wanted to let go. After Wario, she was practically the only friend he had, and he didn't wanted to lose her.
"You know that I had to take care of the Lumas and protect them from anything bad to happen right?" she stated.
"..."
She knew what he was feeling. Indeed is not a good sensation. She had many problems and nightmares with this in the past.
The felling of missing someone you loved.
"Look... I know how you feel. And I know that it worries you..." she said while putting a hand on Waluigi's cheek.
"..." he looked into her eyes.
She glanced to the Luma and nodded. The Luma nodded back.
"So we can do it this way: why don't you come with us to the Comet Observatory?"
"Waaah?" he said surprised.
Going out there? In space? Waluigi wasn't sure if being in low gravity was what he liked.
"Come with us to visit the Observatory! I'm sure everyone will be happy with a new guest!" she said.
Waluigi hesitate a little to answer. There was many things rounding his head right now. He didn't know what to say. Will the mushroom people notice his absence? Will Wario miss him? He wasn't sure. But one thing that he was sure is that he wanted to stay with Rosalina and be close to her. No doubt about that.
"Well... I guess I could. But It would take long for me to go back. Wario could be worried." He said.
Rosalina chuckled at him.
"Don't worry. The rotation of this planet is different from where we are going."
"Which means?"
"Which means that while we'll spend some months in space, there would've passed only a few weeks here."
"Waaa! I get it!"
"So... Will you come with us?" she reached her hand.
"Ok. I will!" he said confident. "But could you wait a minute princess?"
"Hm?"
"I need to..." he said a little embarrassed.
"I know. I'll wait here." She smiled.
Waluigi ran the fastest he could until he arrived at his home. He took his bag and started to put all the things he need there. He then grabbed a piece of paper and started to right something. It was a message to Wario, so he could know that his bro has left but was in a safe place.
He quickly ran back to Rosalina and was ready to go.
The cosmic Princess made their away into the Launch Star and then held his hand tight.
"If you feel some discomfort, you can hold on me. Just don't slip your hand." She said with a playful smile.
"Err... Ok." Waluigi said a little doubtful.
She pulled him into the Launch Star and they were launched into space at incredible speed! Almost like traveling the speed of light, but with a portal. Waluigi screamed in fear by feeling the gravity pull his body upward. But in a few seconds he was there.
