Chapter 7:
End of the Day

...

They didn't have a wedding reception. Soon after the ceremony, they loaded up the wedding cake Chef Torte made into the Koopa Cruiser and began their way back to the Darklands. The newlyweds sat together in a seat made for two; however, no words were exchange between them. Wendy had her gaze on the window beside her while Luigi had his gaze on the floor.

For the whole three hour and a forty five minute flight ride home, either of them moved or said a word until they finally reach the castle. The sun had already set and nighttime was already on them. Wendy stood up and went straight for the exit while Luigi stayed behind to grab his suit cases. He stepped out of the Cruiser and into garage where Bowser usually keeps all his vehicles and airships.

After exiting the garage, Luigi stood in the middle of the hall, unsure where he had to go or where he had to stay. Before long, Bowser appears before him and told him what he basically need to know.

"Alright plumber, listen up and listen good," he said to him. "You're in my house so don't think for a minute that everything's going to be fun and dainty because it's not. Now that you're married to someone of my Klan, you're no longer under the protection of the treaty. As king, only I can dissolve this marriage so don't you think for one second that your brother can help you out of this because the true is...he can't; you belong to me and me alone, so you'll have to follow every single order I give you, no matter what. You got that?"

Luigi nodded fearfully, distress with what Bowser just told him. He no longer had his rights or anything to protect him from the Koopa King's wrath. He was property to Bowser now...a slave he could do whatever he please to do with.

"Good." He said. "Your new room will be with Wendy. Tomorrow will be the start of your training."

He turned around and started walking down the hall. "I suggest you get some sleep, little plumber 'cause you're going to need it."

Luigi wondered around the castle for a good hour before Kammy Koopa was nice enough to lead him to where Wendy's room was. She knocked on the door several times before the pink koopa made the effort to answer.

"What?" she said. Her eyes were on Kammy before sliding over to Luigi. "What's he going here?"

"He is to be staying with you, mistress." Kammy said.

Wendy narrowed her eyes. "Says who?"

"Says your father,"

Wendy growled but didn't argue further. She turned and left, leaving the door open for whomever to come in. Kammy gestured Luigi inside and closed the door behind him, bidding him with a small 'good night' as she did so. Luigi continue to stand by the door as he watched Wendy fume around. Her room was three times bigger than his, with a king size bed, a private bathroom, and a huge walk-in closet.

After she disappeared inside say closet, Luigi develop the courage to step in further. He paused when he nearly stepped on her wedding dress, disregarded on the floor. He carefully stepped over it and made his way to the bed. He placed his suitcase down and sat on the bed with a tired sigh. The bed was really soft and looked comfortable enough for a good night's sleep, something he was in desperate need of right now.

"What do you think you are doing?"

Luigi jumped and turned around to the closet. Wendy stood there, wearing a small pink and purple night gown. Her eyes were narrowed in anger and her arms were cross in disapproval.

"Uhm, g-getting ready for bed," Luigi replies meekly.

Wendy sneered. "Not with me you're not. Just because we're married doesn't mean we have to share the same bed. Now get off!"

Luigi jumped off the bed like it had caught on fire. He stepped away from it until he stood in the middle of the room. Wendy sighed in frustration and pull out some things out from the closet.

"Here,"

Luigi look up just in time to see a pillow getting thrown at him. He caught it mid-air but was unaware of the blanket that came after. It hit him gently and fell on the floor half opened.

"Find some place to sleep and stay there," she ordered. "You could use my bathroom but you can't sure any of my shampoos, got it?"

He nodded quickly. Satisfied, Wendy walked over to her bed hoping to get some rest. The day had been long and miserable; right now, she wanted to sleep her problems away before she had to face them again by tomorrow.

Luigi remain standing in his spot as he watched Wendy get ready for bed. Once she was settled in, she turn off all the lights, not caring if Luigi need them or not. The green plumber let out a small sigh as he gathered his things and tried to find his way around in the dark.

Once in the bathroom, he changed from his black suit into his pajamas, and brushed his teeth. After that, he exited the bathroom and look for a place to sleep. He found a fuzzy mat on the floor and moved it over to a spot with some open room. It was a poor substitute for a bed, but he wasn't going to complain. He fluffed up his pillow and placed it under his head. He grabbed his blanket and covered his body from the cold as he tried to get as comfortable as he can get.

He sighed and stared at the ceiling above him. His first day living with Bowser and things had already gone downhill. He couldn't go home, he was stuck in a marriage he didn't want, and he was basically someone else's property. And to make matters worse, he has yet to experience Bowser's form of training which he starts tomorrow.

He sighed once more and rolled over to his side. He might as well try to get some sleep for the new day. He had a feeling Bowser won't be going easy on him for anything.
