When Luigi is in a panic, he tends to show it. Sometimes, he will start running around, flailing his arms like a frightened chicken. Other times, like today, he will lay his head down on his desk and cover it with his arms. Hiding his face. It was the period before lunch, and Luigi was in a panic. He asked a girl he never knew out, and now the anxiety of the moment, combined with the anticipation of her answer, was killing him. He just wished that such an embarrassing day would come to an end. That is until Mario entered the class. "Wow," Mario said as he took the seat next to him, "that girl on the bus was something else." Luigi gave a slight nod. "She made fun of Waluigi's bad breath and threw Bowser, all just to stand up for you. If I were you, Bro, I wouldn't hesitate to ask her out."

"I did," Luigi said, though his voice was so muffled that Mario had a hard time hearing him.

"What?" Mario asked. Luigi turned his head so he could look at his older brother.

"I asked her out." He finally said. Mario just stared at him as he turned his head back into his arms.

"Did she say no?" Mario probed for more information. Luigi shook his head. "She said yes?" Again, Luigi shook his head.

"She said she'd give me her answer during lunch." Luigi replied glumly. Mario began to understand his brother's dilemma, at least he thought he did.

"Well," Mario said, trying to comfort Luigi, "I can understand your worry. Hell, having to wait for a girl to reply to a question like that, might put any guy on edge."

"It isn't that, Mario." Luigi replied, making Mario look at him curiously.

"Then what's the problem?" Luigi was silent for a moment. His silence only infuriated Mario. "Luigi! What's the problem!?"

"I don't eat lunch in the cafeteria!" Luigi shouted his response. Mario facepalmed, he had completely forgot about that. "And if I don't show up, she'll probably think I stood her up. And I don't want her to think that way." It was then, that Mario had a brilliant idea.

"Don't worry," Mario said, "I might have a plan to remedy your problem, without having you out of your comfort zone."

"And what's that?" Luigi became more worried. Mario's plans never turned out well for him.

"All you have to do is go to your usual eating place," Mario explained, "and I'll just tell her what's happening. That way, she doesn't think that you stood her up."

"And how will you explain why I eat where I eat?" Luigi snapped.

"That'll be your problem not mine." Mario replied with his a bored expression, just as the teacher entered the room. An hour later, Luigi had just gotten his lunch and was making his way to the library. As he walked down the hall, he heard a familiar voice call out for him.

"Hey Luigi, wait up." He turned around to see Daisy running up to him with a food tray in her hands. "Jeeze," she said after she caught up with, "you really can move fast when you're walking."

"Sorry," he apologized with his hand behind his head, "I just want to get into the library before anyone see's me."

"Yeah, about that." Daisy had a confused look as she asked him. "Mario said that you eat in the library all the time. What gives? I thought there wasn't supposed to be any food in that place?"

"Well normally there isn't," Luigi explained as he led the way, "but since I started this school, I've constantly had both my lunch money and lunches I bring to school taken. So, Principle Toadsworth made a deal with the librarian. In the end, as long as I promise to clean up after myself and confide my lunch to one specific area, I can eat there whenever I want."

"Well," Daisy smirked, "that explains why we're heading to the library. But won't the librarian get pissed if she sees me joining you?"

"As long as you follow the same rules I do," Luigi answered, "I don't think she'll have a problem. She's actually a really nice lady." They continued in silence, until Luigi's question began to bug him. "You still haven't answered my question." She looked at him confused. "You know, the one from earlier?"

"Oh," Daisy's face took on a bright shade of red. "Well, I was kinda hoping that it was obvious."

"What do you mean?" Luigi was hoping that she wasn't talking about when she ran off on him without an answer.

"Seriously," she joked, "are you really that oblivious?" Jumping right in front of him, she made him stop. Looking into her eyes, Luigi saw the tenderness that he had hoped to see. "Luigi," she explained, "I don't normally stand up to guys for someone I just met, but when you sat next to me on that bus, and not judge me, I kinda liked it. Normally, one guy takes a look at me and say, 'that's a fine piece of ass.'" As she said this, Luigi couldn't help but blush, for that was sort of his train of thought when he saw her. "But when they see how I act, they head for the hills. You didn't. You saw my tough girl nature and actually embraced it. I can't believe the words that are coming out of my mouth, but it made me feel special. Made me feel wanted." As she looked at him, the tenderness in her eyes swiftly change into a happiness Luigi could only hope to describe. "And if that isn't enough of an answer for you, then I'll have to do something a little out of your comfort zone to show you my answer." Before he could ask what she meant, she reached behind his head, brought him closer to her, and kissed him. The only things Luigi knew about love was what he seen in movies and books. But what he could tell from this kiss is that she had placed all of her feelings into it. As they broke from the kiss, she smiled at him. "Now tell me," she smirks, "does that answer your question?" Giving a small nod, she began to laugh. Turning from him, she continued. "Come on, let's go eat." Leading the way, they made their way to the library. Internally, Luigi was so excited to finally have a girlfriend. Externally, he tried to play it cool.
