Hi! I'm finally able to write again. I've been busy this week. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I only own Jasmine!
After listening to his music, Ludwig and Jasmine went to the playroom where the rest of his siblings were at. Everyone greeted them and the two sat down on the couch. A few minutes later, Roy walked up to Jasmine.
"Hey. You wanna hang out with me for a bit?" He asked.
"What? No! I wanted to hang out with Jasmine!" Iggy said.
"Huh? But..I want her to stay with me." Ludwig thought.
"Guys, it's ok! I can hang out with both of you." Jasmine smiled at them.
"Alright!" Iggy cheered.
"Whaddaya wanna do?" Roy asked. Jasmine began to think.
"Well, we could play video games if ya want." She suggested.
"Ok then. Let's go." Roy said.
"Oh. I guess I'll talk to you later Luddy!" Jasmine said and left with Iggy and Roy. Ludwig sat there and stared at the ground.
"Why do I feel weird about her hanging out with them? She can talk to the others if she wants."
Later on Jasmine went home and the Koopa family was eating dinner. Ludwig began to zone out as everyone ate and talked to each other.
"Ludwig?" He snapped out of it when he heard his name.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Are you alright? You've been spacing out." Bowser said.
"Oh, I'm alright." Ludwig replied.
"Wait...I think I remember you acting weird when Jasmine was here." Roy said.
"Yeah. He looked fine until we said we wanted to hang out with her." Iggy added.
"...I don't know what you're talking about." Ludwig mumbled and took a bite of his steak.
"Wait a minute. Were you jealous Luddy?" Iggy asked, chuckling.
"Jealous? Of what? And don't call me that." Ludwig asked.
"Admit it. You were jealous that she was with us and not you." Roy laughed.
"W-What? No..." Ludwig replied, now blushing.
"Don't worry Ludwig. I'm not interested." Iggy said.
"Yeah. She's cute, but I'm not into her." Roy added.
"Whatever..." Ludwig continued to eat his dinner.
Two days later, Peach announced that everyone was going to play Tennis and the Koopalings were invited to play for the first time. Jasmine was excited because she was going to play too.
"I can't wait to play! But, I'm not that good at Tennis." Jasmine said as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Don't worry. We can help you before the game." Mario replied.
"Oh great! Thanks!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"Oh. Since we'll be playing Doubles, is there someone you had in mind to be your partner?" Peach asked her.
"I can pick anyone?" Jasmine asked.
"Of course!" Peach said. Jasmine thought for moment.
"Hmm. Maybe...Ludwig?" Jasmine suggested.
"Ludwig?" Peach repeated.
"Yeah. I think he'd be a good partner." Jasmine replied.
"I thought you didn't like him." Mario said.
"Well, as long as he and the others aren't causing trouble, I think I can put those feelings aside." Jasmine explained.
"Well alright. We'll be playing at Peach Dome this time." Mario said.
"Great! I can't wait to see how Luddy plays!" Jasmine cheered.
"Luddy?" Mario repeated, confused.
"O-Oh! I called him that when he kidnapped me. He doesn't like that nickname." Jasmine quickly said.
"I still can't tell them that I've been hanging out with them..." Jasmine thought.
The day of the Tennis match finally arrived and everyone was taking their seats on the bleachers. Bowser and his children arrived and were getting snacks and wishing Ludwig good luck. Larry was disappointed he wasn't playing, but was told that he would play in the next game. Ludwig looked at the board and saw that he and Jasmine were playing against Luigi and Daisy.
"Hm. Where is Jasmine?" Ludwig wondered.
"I'm here!" He heard a voice say. Ludwig turned around and saw Jasmine running towards him. He noticed that she was in a different outfit. She wore a blue dress, blue and white shoes, her hair in a ponytail, and a blue visor.
"You look really nice." Ludwig said.
"Aw thanks Ludwig!" Jasmine replied. A couple minutes later, Luigi and Daisy walked over to them.
"You guys ready?" Daisy asked. The two nodded.
"Yep! Good luck you two!" Jasmine said.
The crowd cheered as the teams walked onto the court. Luigi and Daisy walked to the other side of the net. As they waited for Luigi to serve, Ludwig spoke to Jasmine.
"Hey Jasmine?" He said.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Let's do our best." He replied. Jasmine smiled.
"Yeah!" Then, Luigi served and the game began.
The game was over and Ludwig and Jasmine won. Luigi and Daisy congratulated them after the game. Peach wanted to throw another party since they won and everyone was invited. More of their friends congratulated them and looked at their trophy. Jasmine turned to Ludwig.
"By the way, which one of us is keeping the trophy?" She asked.
"You can keep it." Ludwig replied.
"Oh, are you sure? Because I don't mind you keeping it." Jasmine said.
"No, it's alright. You can keep it." Ludwig smiled.
"Ok! Thanks!" Jasmine smiled back at him. Ludwig looked around to make sure no one was near them. He then whispered to her.
"Do you wanna visit Meringue Clouds sometime?" He asked.
"I'd love to. I think that'd be fun!" Jasmine replied.
"Great! Is tomorrow good?" Ludwig asked.
"Yeah. I guess you can meet me in Brooklyn." Jasmine replied.
"Alright." Ludwig said. Daisy then ran over to them.
"Hey Jasmine! Wanna come play a game with us?" She asked.
"Oh sure!" Jasmine replied.
"You can come play too if you want Ludwig." Daisy said.
"Alright." Ludwig replied and the two followed Daisy. Ludwig then began to think about Meringue Clouds.
"I'm sure she'll enjoy it."
