Daisy POV:
Daisy heard mumbling from the room next to her, where Luigi was staying for the night. Bowser, once again, had tried to destroy their home, and it was being repaired. She kept reading her book on her bed, until the mumbling became louder and began irritating her. She knew better than to go to him and tell him to shut it, so she bared with it for the next few minutes.
Later the mumbling stopped, but she began hearing small sobs coming from the room next to her. She finally got up and walked to the room Luigi was in and knocked on the door. "Luigi? You okay?" she asked in a tired voice through the door. The sobbing became quieter, but she could still hear it.
Luigi POV:
He knew Daisy could probably hear him in the next room, but it hurt him too much to calm down. His heart emptied out as he pieced together the ripped out pages from under the bed. "She never wanted me. I'm his useless brother. He's always going to win, isn't he?" he mumbled. He kept talking to himself, the hurt becoming bigger, the pain enlarging on him. He then heard footsteps come near the room as Daisy knocked on the door. "Luigi? You okay?" she heard her through the door. He sobbed quieter, but he knew she could still here.

Daisy swung open the door to the room to see Luigi on the bed, in tears. "Luigi?" She hesitantly walked into the room and sat on the bed next to him. He didn't reply to her, he was too hurt to reply to her. His clenched fist opened slowly, revealing a crumpled up paper. Daisy snatched it from his grasp and opened it, but she wasn't prepared to read it.
Mario,
Ever since you've saved me from Tatanga, I must admit I have felt something really strong for you. I'm not sure what it is, but I think I've fallen in love with you.
Those words hit Daisy hard and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt like something punched her in the stomach.
You might be in love with Peach, but I know that I feel a stronger connection to you. I know I've been rejected, but I have the feeling as if we were meant to be.
"I didn't mean it…" he mumbled as tears fell down her cheeks. Luigi got up from the bed and sighed. "I thought we had something." he simply stated, and walked out the door, even though he was clearly hurt. Tears fell rapidly from Daisy's eyes as he left. She dared herself to look back at the letter, and as she read the last sentence, she began sobbing hysterically.
I don't want anyone else, Mario. I want you.
The words stung her in the heart as she ran out the room as she watched Luigi slam the castle door closed behind him. She ran out of the castle, barefoot. "Luigi, wait!" she yelled as loud as she could. Tears were still pouring out of her eyes as she ran towards him. Luigi walked toward his kart, and before he got into it, he saw Daisy in tears, barefoot, running after him. He tried to keep in the hurt in his heart, and got into the kart and ignored her. "Please!" she begged him with a broken voice. He started the kart and looked back at her, and she fell to the ground sobbing. He felt a twinge in his heart as he heard her pleads from behind him. She really did love him, not Mario. He finally turned off the kart and got out and gently closed the car door. Daisy's cries softened as he held her hand and gave her a half smile.
He helped her up and hugged her tightly. "Don't go Luigi…" she whispered into his ear. "I love you…" Luigi smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek. "I love you too, Daisy…" Daisy kissed him back and they went back inside her palace. "That was before.. before I met you, Luigi." she looked at him with sincere honesty. "I'm sorry I just walked out…" Daisy kissed him on the lips and he kissed back, and walked upstairs. The rest was just a blur, but a memory to not forget.
