Luigi and co. to the Big N.
All other characters thought up by myself, and such; don't steal them, please.

Luigi looked around again, all that stuck out to him was a coffee shop that was across the street. It had quite a horrible décor, as he could see it form the large circular window that took up almost the entire front of the building. It went for the style of "modern," which consisted mainly of multicolored square and circular things. God knows who made the decision that this was modern.
Luigi slowly walked up to the establishment. Though, he did not take notice that a car was barreling down the road he was on. Seconds before contact, Luigi looked over to see the calm face of a person driving a brown Mercury Tracer. There was an odd green antenna on the top of it and the driver did not seem to notice that Luigi was standing in the middle of the street. Bracing for impact, the green plumber gasped and shielded himself with his hands. He waited for the car to hit him; he waited and waited.
Nothing happened.
He opened his eyes and soon after put his hands down after standing there for a good minute or so to see no car. He looked around to see people minding their own business and nothing had happened to him. He looked at his being and saw no scuffs or scrapes and was left dumbfounded. The first thought that came to him was somewhere along the lines of 'Why didn't I just jump?' but he just let it be and continued over to the coffee shop.
The aroma that came out of the glass doors went threw Luigi's nose; it smelled like bread. It was not bad or anything, but Luigi always thought places that sold coffee related stuff would smell differently. In any case, he walked in. He looked around to see various people sitting around and drinking soft drinks and the occasional brew. Nothing looked out of place, thus Luigi started to wonder what drew him in here. That's when he gazed upon the cashier.
She was a rather tall woman, almost as tall as Luigi, but just a few inches shorter. She had brown hair that only stretched down to her shoulders and nice looking blue eyes. She wore a simple combination of a t-shirt and jeans. Her earrings glistened in the sunlight that came in through the large front window. As of this moment, she was simply sorting through some bills and change on the counter.
'Dang, she's hot,' Luigi thought to himself as he blushed, 'Though, I can't cheat on my girlfriend, Daisy, even if I'm in another universe,' Luigi felt a bit hurt inside, thinking of his love back in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Seconds later, a man came through the doors of the small building. This guy was about Luigi's height and looked eager to be in the store. He reminded Luigi of an actor he had seen on a show called The Office he saw a few times at a friend's house a few years back. He looked like the character Jim, but Luigi knew it was not the same guy. This Jim-look-alike was walking up to the same spot Luigi was, in front of the counter.
"Hello, Frank. Anything you want here?" the woman behind the counter asked the person who went by the name Frank and that looked like an actor.
"Uh, err, umm," Frank began scratching his head and neck, "How about the black dinner coffee tonight- wait no! I mean the black coffee there busy later stuff."
"…What?" she cocked an eyebrow. Luigi was a bit confused as well.
"The black coffee, that's what I'll have. No doubt about it, I'm pretty sure that's what I want," a nervous grin appeared on Frank.
"Alright, I'll get on that," she turned her body around, but kept a solid eye on Frank's solid expression. Though, once she got to the black coffee pot, she turned towards that.
Luigi figured out that this fellow named Frank wanted to go on a date with this cute girl. 'Shame he did not know what her name was, otherwise it may make things easier. Soon, the cashier returned with some black coffee prepared for Frank.
"Thanks, Mabel. How much will that be?" Frank asked her.
'Heh, Mabel. Isn't than an old women's name nowadays?' Luigi thought from the new information. Luigi watched Frank tremble to get the money from his wallet to pay for his coffee.
"It'll run 'ya a dollar and eighty-five cents." Mabel said, as Frank kept shifting through his black leather wallet.
Frank reluctantly pulled out two dollar bills and gave them to Mabel; Frank then used this small time frame of common cashier-to-customer interaction to ask her out, "So-uh-Mabel, youdoinganythingtonight?" Frank blushed and turned away from the register.
'What is this man doing?! You can't ask out a girl like this!' Luigi reminisced about his failed attempts trying to hook up before he found his current girlfriend.
"Eh?" Mabel asked Frank's back.
Frank continued looking in the other direction, "I asked if youweredoinganythingtonight."
The woman realized what Frank was asking, or trying to ask anyway, "Nothing as of now. Why?" Mabel put her hands on her hips and began tapping her foot.
"If you wanted togotodinnerorsomething. Why it's entirelyuptoyouIdon'tcare.Isitstartingtogothotinhereorisitjustme? What'sgoingonrightnow.Help?WhatareyoudoingFrank?Hello?" Frank was becoming lost in his words, not too mention was looking like an idiot, since his eyes and head were going this way and that in emotional fear.
Luigi slapped his hand on his head as he looked at Frank. This was not going to work.
"Sure. I haven't been asked on a date in awhile!" she smiled at the emotionally mixed up man. Luigi's eyes widened.
"Who said it was a date? I mean it was just a friendly get together, despite it being only two people, you know?" Frank put his arms out in defense.
"So then, Mr. No-Date, what time do you want to pick me up?" Mabel quizzed him.
"How does…5:00 sound?" Frank turned back to face her.
"Sounds good. It's 2:00 now, so I'll see you in a few hours. Just come by my place and I'll be ready to go by then. I get out of here at 3:30, so everything should be fine."
"OKbye," Frank instantly turned around and headed for the door.
"Goodbye, Frank," Mabel did a little wave that she assumed Frank saw before leaving.
"How comes every time I tried these tactics it just failed?!" Luigi threw his arms up and stared at the ceiling. After a few more mumbles, he looked around to see that Mabel was left by herself and there were few customers left in the place. Luigi put his elbow on the counter, crossed his legs, and turned his head towards Mabel, "So, you like this guy?"
Mabel did not respond at all, or even give notice that Luigi said something.
"O yeah, I'm a ghost…or something," Luigi looked at his hand, or what was supposed to be his hand, "Well, doesn't seem much at all left to do here, might as well leave," he said to himself.
He walked to the doorway and was about to open it when a bright flash appeared before his eyes.
"Not again…" he muttered before he passed out.
