I included Duplighosts out of inspiration of the fact that Nintendoscript15 is writing a Paper Mario fanfic. And I'm really glad you enjoy the wholesome moments in this story! Thank you for your enjoyment in reading this. I enjoy writing this story as much as you enjoy reading it!

Nintendoscript15

Indeed, Luigi realized his mistakes. We all make them and will eventually correct them in the end. I know the King Boo in Sunshine wasn't the real one, but just think of that King Boo as a messed up clone with the same mindset as the original. The Shining and Home Alone references were intentional. Thanks for pointing them out. I was worried no one would.

1: Thanks for pointing out the obvious. And I read my reviews by tapping the button next to the title that says reviews. If only appears if there are any reviews at all.

2: Why would they frame Peach? She's the one that the villains are after! Did you not play or at least know the story of the original game? And as for how Bowser Jr knows about Aqua, he probably saw her alongside the other two princesses, asked his dad about her, and he considered her a possible threat.

3: Did you not read the whole chapter? The police officer explained that the keys to the cells were stolen! They can't let them out until Aqua finds the keys.


Thanks for over 12,000 views, and 78 reviews! You guys are amazing, and I'm glad this story is getting the support it deserves.


It's around 6:30am the next day. Just a couple of minutes ago, Mario and friends arrived back in Delfino Plaza and headed to the police station where Daisy had been cooped up in her cell for the last several days.

Mario: Toadsworth, Toad, Toadette, and Melon, I know you want to meet Daisy right now, but I think it'll be too much company for her after we unlock her cell.

Toadsworth: Not a problem. We'll wait just outside the front door and cheer her on when she walks out.

While Toadsworth tells Toad, Toadette, and Melon to wait with him, Mario, Luigi, and Aqua enter the station and Luigi runs ahead to unlock Daisy's cell. Mario smirks right when Luigi takes off.

Mario: I know what's gonna happen next.

Aqua: What is it?

Mario: Let's just say it's like me and Peach falling in love. Luigi was embarrassed at me hinting it before we got on the plane.

Meanwhile, Daisy was sitting by herself with her breakfast splattered on the floor. She immediately rejected the gruel she was given by the officers and literally threw it away. Suddenly, she heard quick footsteps coming close to her cell.

Daisy: Who's that?

Daisy turns to see who's coming; it was Luigi. She smiled big, knowing she was gonna be freed in a few seconds.

Daisy: LUIGI! FINALLY!

Luigi didn't hesitate and unlocked the door before pulling it open. Daisy immediately went and kissed Luigi on the lips. Luigi did not expect it and blushed with surprise, but kissed Daisy back after a couple seconds.

Meanwhile, Aqua and Mario watched from the doorway. Mario shed a couple tears of joy while Aqua giggled a bit.

Mario: Wow... That's lovely...

Aqua: I knew Luigi was gonna kiss Daisy.

After Luigi and Daisy finished kissing, they approached Mario and Aqua. Daisy hugged both Mario and Aqua at the same time.

Aqua: Daisy! You're freed!

Mario: I'm so happy to see you again!

Daisy: Me too, guys. Let's get out of here before the officers catch us.

Just before the group can leave the station, Mario notices a purple box to his right.

Mario: Wait. Daisy, break that box over here.

Daisy breaks the box to reveal a new FLUDD model, which resembled a motorboat propeller.

Daisy: What do I do with this thing?

Aqua: Put it on first!

After Daisy strapped on the new nozzle, FLUDD began scanning her brain just like the other three subjects before.

FLUDD: Scanning user information... Subject identified as Daisy Jennifer Toadstool, princess of Sarasaland. Data storage complete.

While FLUDD announced Daisy's full name, she got irritated for a brief moment.

Daisy: Wha- Did he just say my middle name?!

Aqua: It's not that big of a deal, Daisy.

Daisy: Fine…

FLUDD: This is another one of my nozzles, the Turbo Nozzle. This allows the user to run at very high speeds. But be very careful, for-

Daisy: Come on! Rules suck! Just tell me how to use the nozzle!

FLUDD: Very well. Push the trigger down to charge it. You'll then take off immediately.

Daisy: You mean like this?

Mario, Luigi, and Aqua gasp with shock, knowing Daisy will hurt herself.

Mario, Aqua, Luigi: DON'T PUSH IT!

But Daisy didn't listen and did as FLUDD said, inadvertently sending herself flying through the front door, breaking the glass in the process. Toadsworth, Toad, Toadette, and Melon watch in awe as Daisy shot forward like a bullet.

Daisy: OH MY GOD! HEEEEEEEEEELP!

Toadsworth: Ruddy heck...

Melon: Is that...?

Within seconds, Daisy rams into the wall of a bell tower in front, knocking herself unconscious. Mario, Luigi, and Aqua come running out of the station, only to see Daisy crash into the wall.

Luigi: NOOO!

Mario & Aqua: DAISY!

It took about ten seconds for Daisy to get her bearings straight again, and saw Mario, Luigi, and Aqua standing in front.

Luigi: You okay, my flower?

Daisy: I think so... My head's killing me...

FLUDD: You should've listened, Daisy. It's just like what Luigi did with the Rocket Nozzle.

Everyone laughed at FLUDD's comment before meeting up with Toadsworth, Toad, Toadette, and Melon.

Toadsworth: All right! Everyone's here! Great job-

Toad: Except Peach.

Toadsworth: Oh, sorry. I forgot the princess is still gone…

Toadette: Forget he mentioned her.

Daisy notices Melon out the corner of her eye.

Daisy: Yoshi! How did you-

Melon: I'm not Yoshi. That's my cousin. My name's Melon. It's nice to meet you, Daisy.

Melon and Daisy shake hands.

Daisy: Can I clean myself up, guys? I can't be in this dress for the whole vacation.

Mario: Have at it. We'll get changed too.

About 15 minutes later, everyone was back at the outdoor restaurant having breakfast. This time, Mario was wearing a green shirt and cap with brown overalls. Luigi was wearing a pink shirt and cap with red overalls. Finally, Aqua was wearing a dark blue V-neck shirt with cerulean shorts. She had been giggling at Mario and Luigi's outfits since they finished getting ready.

Luigi: Aqua, can you quit laughing?

Mario: Luigi, she can't help it. But you could've told me to wear that pink outfit before I went for my suitcase.

Luigi: Whatever.

Seconds later, Daisy entered the scene and sat down wearing a yellow T-shirt with orange shorts. Upon seeing Mario and Luigi, she started laughing harder than Aqua.

Daisy: W-What d-did y-you...

Mario: Yes. We sometimes wear opposite colors, Daisy. It's a thing we do sometimes.

Luigi frowned.

Luigi: But it's not without everyone laughing at us. So embarrassing.

Mario: Bro, it's okay. They'll get used to it.

Later, breakfast was served for the whole group. Toad and Toadette each got a breakfast patty melt, Melon had a fruit salad, Toadsworth had a small sirloin steak, Daisy got an omelet with jalapenos and Pepper Jack cheese, Aqua got a giant cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing, and Mario and Luigi each got a cheese quiche.

Daisy: Aqua, what's with you having carbs every breakfast?

Aqua: Oh yeah? What's with you begging me to eat broccoli all the time?

Daisy: That was a long time ago, Aqua. You know I made changes.

Aqua: Such as what? Eating spicy foods that burn your mouth?

Daisy: They're not spicy. I love hot peppers.

Aqua sighed before digging into her cinnamon roll.

Aqua: Typical Daisy...

After breakfast, Mario led Luigi, Daisy, Melon, and Aqua to the Warp Pipe leading to Sirena Beach.

Toad: Can we come with you?

Toadette: Please?

Mario: Not this time. Sorry.

Luigi: You might get in bigger trouble than being stuck in the painting.

Aqua: He's right.

Toad: Fine. We'll just try to find more Shines in the plaza.

Mario: Good call.

Without further ado, the quartet hopped into the Warp Pipe to go to Sirena Beach one more time. What new danger will await them upon arrival?


Sirena Beach

The sun had arisen, and immediately upon arriving, everybody noticed the electric goop all over the beach. Luckily, the hotel wasn't buried this time. The hotel manager approached in panic.

Hotel Manager: Mario! We've got trouble!

Mario: Yeah, we see! The electric goop is back! But HOW?!

Hotel Manager: I don't know! But please get rid of it!

Daisy: Electric goop?

Luigi: The name speaks for itself. Don't touch it!

Aqua: We're on it, sir!

Hotel Manager: Okay, you have three minutes to clean this up.

All but the Hotel Manager: WHAT?!

Luigi: Why are you timing us?!

Hotel Manager: 'Cause I want this stuff gone ASAP! Now, get rolling, 'cause the timer already started.

The heroes scattered in all directions. Mario and Aqua used their respective nozzles to clean up the goo as fast as they could, while Luigi and Daisy used barrels filled with water. They were doing well, until Luigi spotted his Shadow counterpart entering the hotel.

Luigi: Daisy, look!

Daisy: That must be your faker! We gotta stop him!

Both Luigi and Daisy followed Shadow Luigi into the hotel lobby.

Daisy: Hey, you!

Shadow Luigi turned around to confront the heroes.

Luigi: So, you think you can distract us with that goop while you cause trouble in here? Well then, prendilo (bring it on)!

Shadow Luigi just stared at his good counterpart before bursting into laughter. Luigi was confused for a moment before remembering that he was wearing pink.

Shadow Luigi: Is that how you show up to a battle? Wearing PINK?! What, did you accidentally put on Mario's clothes after they got mixed in the washing machine with white socks? 'Cause that's what it looks like. And you even brought your girlfriend with you to defend you from the humiliation. You really are pathetic!

Luigi: Sh-Sh-Shut up! REAL MEN wear pink!

Daisy: You tell him, Luigi! Now, TAKE THIS!

Daisy tried to kick Shadow Luigi, but he turned into a boo and disappeared.

Daisy: Wha-?! How?! Where?!

Shadow Luigi: Hey! Over here, idiots!

The heroes looked to see Shadow Luigi near the fruit stand. Luigi tried to strike but it disappeared as well.

Shadow Luigi: Nevermind, I'm over here!

Daisy tried charging towards the doppelgänger near the casino, but that one disappeared too.

Daisy: What kind of sick, twisted magic is this?

As she said that, several Shadow Luigis surrounded them.

Shadow Luigis: Oh, only the best kind. The kind that will lead you to your doom! Just try and find the real me, Pink Mario, and Fat Peach!

Daisy: WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?! YOU ARE SO DEAD NOW!

Both heroes started kicking the clones as they all laughed in mockery. Soon, the clones began striking as well with their magical paint brushes which shot out electric goop that knocked out Daisy.

Luigi: DAISY!

Shadow Luigi: Not so tough without your girlfriend, are you, Pink Mario? She must be as big of a loser as you are if she could ever fall for you of all people.

This filled Luigi with rage. He looked closely at each of the clones to see if he could spot something different about them. Then he noticed that one of them was a slightly darker shade of orange than the others. Luigi immediately kicked this one, making the others disappear, and surprising the real one. Luigi pinned his doppelgänger to the floor.

Shadow Luigi: What?! How did you-

Luigi: Shut the freak up! I may not be the bravest of the bunch, but if you DARE insult the love of my life, or anyone else in my life I care about, you have to hear it from me! And to answer your question, I was playing a game of 'spot the difference'. Ever heard of it? I'm actually quite the master at-

Before he could finish, Shadow Luigi kicked Luigi in the crotch, making him scream and fall to the floor, whilst the faker gets up.

Shadow Luigi: So, you wanna play it dirty, huh? I'll show you dirty! Follow, if you dare. And bring your girlfriend, if you wish for her to live.

Shadow Luigi walked upstairs. Luigi got up and went to wake up his beloved.

Luigi: Daisy! DAISY! My flower! Wake up!

Daisy groaned before getting up.

Daisy: Luigi… did we beat him?

Luigi: No, not yet. He went upstairs.

Daisy: Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go kick his butt!

Luigi: With you there!

They walked up to the third floor. On the third floor, they witnessed Shadow Luigi performing a super jump to break through the ceiling. Daisy used her double jump to get in while Luigi used the rocket nozzle. They were now on the roof of the hotel. Shadow Luigi pressed a button on a remote control, and a giant robot resembling the Super L-flyer rose out from behind the hotel and landed next to him. The only difference was that this robot now had detached arms and feet.

Daisy: Woah! That thing's huge!

Luigi: Well, it's a better resemblance to me than that poster.

Shadow Luigi: Whaddaya think? The L-flyer I fought your siblings with earlier was just a prototype. Introducing the new and improved Super L-stomper!

He jumped in the machine.

Shadow Luigi: Prepare to be crushed!

Daisy: First off, stupid name. Second, you're going down, faker!

The Super L-stomper used it's rocket boots to fly up into the air and perform a ground pound, creating a shockwave that Luigi and Daisy avoided. It then used its fists to attempt to grab the two. Luigi dodged, but Daisy wasn't so lucky as the hand grabbed her.

Luigi: DAISY!

Daisy: Put me down, you creep!

Shadow Luigi: Oh, I'll put you down, all right!

The robot threw Daisy right at Luigi. Making them roll for a bit before going face to face in almost kissing range. Making the two blush very hard before getting up to dodge a blast of electric goop coming out of the L-stomper's cannon like mouth.

Shadow Luigi: Aw! What a lovely couple! Too bad I gotta break your hearts!

The Super L-stomper then sucked Daisy inside it.

Daisy: LUIIIIIGIIIIIII!

Luigi: DAIIIIISYYYYYY!

Shadow Luigi: There! Now she's outta my way!


Meanwhile, on the beach, Mario and Aqua were running out of time.

Hotel Manager: One minute left!

Mario: Oh no!

Aqua: We're not even close to done!

Mario: There's gotta be a way to finish quickly. C'mon Mario! Think, think, think!

The screen shows a view of Mario's brain showing memories of what happened yesterday.

Aqua: YOU… LEAVE… MY… FRIENDS… ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNE!

Toadette: She summoned a GIANT WAVE when she got super angry?!

FLUDD: Well, sort of. She's still at a young age, so her power is underdeveloped. Therefore, it can get out of control if her emotions are too extreme. This includes temper tantrums, anger outbursts, and extreme crying.

Daisy: JUST EAT THE DAMN FOOD, YOU LITTLE BRAT!

The view goes back outside as Mario hatches an idea.

Mario: BRAIN-A BLAST! Aqua, get angry!

Aqua: Huh?

Mario: Remember what happened last time when you got super mad and unleashed that huge wave? Do that again!

Aqua: But… but… I don't know how to…

Mario: Well, think about something you hate. Something you DESPISE! You get mad just thinking about it!

Hotel Manager: Fourty seconds!


Back on the roof, Daisy was stuck inside the Super L-stomper. She was hoping Luigi could beat it on her own, until she spotted something glowing inside. It was the lightning item from the Mario Kart series.

Daisy: So, that's what's powering this thing.

She grabbed it and her dress turned yellow, and her hair resembled volts of electricity with a lightning emblem on her forehead. She was now Volt Daisy and began charging up an electric shield which grew larger and started damaging the inside.


Meanwhile, outside the machine, the robot suddenly stopped working.

Shadow Luigi: Huh? Wh-What's going on? Computer! Status report!

Computer: I AM ERROR. PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART. ...SYSTEM NOT FOUND. INSERT INSTALL DISC. DISC NOT FOUND. PLEASE CONFIRM DISC COVER IS CLOSED. READ ERROR. INSERT BOOT DISC AND PRESS ENTER. NO RESPONSE. SYSTEM MAY BE BUSY OR MELTING INTO SLAG. APPLICATION ERROR. SAVE YOUR WORK AND QUIT. YOU LOST EVERYTHING. WAY TO GO, GENIUS.

Shadow Luigi: Stupid thing! WORK!

Luigi is starring in confusion the entire time.

Computer: WAITING FOR PROCESSORS.

"404 computer hamsters not found."

THREAT LEVEL UPGRADED TO JELLY ROLL 1. DETONATION IMMINENT.

Shadow Luigi: What the heck, computer?! You're not making any sense! Why is this happening?!


Back on the beach, Mario was trying to make Aqua angry.

Mario: Think about broccoli. Yuck! That stuff is disgusting! And Daisy keeps trying to feed you yucky stuff like that. And spicy stuff! Is Daisy trying to burn off your taste buds, or something?

Aqua: Grr! It's working! Give me something else!

Mario: Well, think about those impostors. Don't you wanna get revenge on them for ruining our vacation?

Aqua: YES! YES I DO! GIVE ME MORE!

Hotel Manager: Twenty seconds!


Back on the roof, the Super L-stomper was spazzing out of control.

Computer: BEEBLEBLIP!

C:/ run query identification

C:/ run insult generator

C:/ results: go away yeti-lip!

CTRL ALT DEL!

Shadow Luigi: Oh… crap.


Hotel Manager: Ten seconds!

On the beach, Mario was pushing it even harder.

Mario: Think about how that lake was polluted back in Bianco Hills! Think about the kidnapping of your sister! Think about BOWSER!

That last word did it for her and she screamed all over the beach. Unleashing a huge wave that approaches the beach.

Hotel Manager: DEAR LORD, NOT AGAIN!

At the same time, the Super L-stomper exploded, freeing Daisy and sending Shadow Luigi flying and landed on the beach right in front of the wave.

Shadow Luigi: HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL!

The wave washed all over the beach. Cleaning all the goop and turning Shadow Luigi into Ludwig. Aqua breathed heavily as she calmed down, and smiled seeing the beach clean.

Aqua: We did it!

Mario: Oh yeah! I knew you could do it, buddy!

Aqua: High five!

They did a high five. Meanwhile, Ludwig got up. Luigi and Daisy came down from the roof with the latter turning back to normal.

Mario: Alright, Ludwig! You better turn yourself and the rest into the police, or else!

Ludwig: You think I'm gonna give in that easily? Ha! They'll never believe you, Mario! You fight good, but until you finish cleaning that island, we ain't letting you have your precious vacation. Bye for now!

Ludwig disappeared and left behind a Shine Sprite.

Daisy: So, you say you faced these guys before?

Mario: Yeah, except for Bowser Jr. He's new.

Aqua: Since we're done here, I wonder where we'll go next. I hope it's a place with lots of water!

Daisy: What is it with you and water?

Aqua: What is it with you and flowers?

Mario: She got you there.

Hotel Manager: Well, thanks for cleaning the whole beach up in time. Even though it's not how I intended. Here's your reward.

He takes out another Shine Sprite.

Luigi: Yeah! Two Shines for the price of one!

DOUBLE SHINE!

All: YAHOO!


Meanwhile in Delfino Plaza, Toad and Toadette cleaned your two dirty bells covered in ink using cleaning supplies. They begun ringing again and each got a Shine Sprite.

DOUBLE SHINE!

Toad and Toadette: ALL RIGHT!


Special thanks once again to my friend NintendoScript15 for helping me with the writing for the first part of the chapter! Thanks again, buddy!
