Luigi took a deep breath, once again reliving his very own life-changing experience. He didn't feel like bringing this up to his face again… But he had to stay strong.

This was a bitter story he was about to recount…

Flashback

Luigi let out a yawn as he woke up in his bedroom. He rubbed his eyes while grabbing his alarm clock. He rarely set up an actual alarm, his body was used to wake up by itself.

"8.24 AM. Wow. I rarely ever wake up this late".

Luigi then got up, and went into the bathroom while scratching his head.

After a while, he came out of his bedroom, tucked in with his usual attire as he made his way to his bro's bedroom. There, he found a sign. Raising an eyebrow, Luigi examined it.

'Luigi. Meet us at Peach's Castle at 9 AM. There's something we need to discuss about. Everyone's joining in, so you better not be late or forgot! -Mario'.

Luigi looked at the living room clock.

"8.34… Better get going then".

Luigi walked out as he locked the door. Then he started to jog his way to Peach's Castle, which was just past the Toad Town.

Step by step, Luigi's mind started to branch out. Everyone, then that meant Daisy included. Luigi smiled by a little, it had been pretty long since he had an actual time with his girlfriend. They had been dating for about 2 years now, and it had been 6 months since the last they had their time. Luigi hoped that the Sarasaland princess can make her time to go out with him after this meeting.

As Luigi arrived at Toad Town, he noticed everything has been peaceful as usual. The Toads started to notice him too and started to wave and greet him. Luigi did the same and made his way to the castle.

But as he jogged, he couldn't help but to notice a flower shop at the side of the road. Luigi stopped for a minute, before smiling and walking toward the shop.

He entered and was greeted by a Toad.

"Oh, Luigi! How may I help you?".

Luigi smiled, "Can you fetch some daisies please?".

Toad nodded as he went in his backroom. He then emerged with a pack of beautiful yellow flowers in his hands.

"Here you go!".

"Thanks"

Luigi then handed some coins to Toad. Out of curiousity, Toad asked.

"If I may know. Who is this for?".

"Isn't it obvious already?", Luigi smirked.

"Oh right! Why did I even bother to ask? Don't worry Luigi, she'll love this! I guarantee that!".

Luigi smiled gratefully, and exited the shop.

"Thanks again. See ya later!".

Not wanting this to spoil any surprise, Luigi shoved the flower to… the… space… in his hat. Hammerspace, to be precise. Luigi paused for a moment before looking at the camera, right hand placed at the left side of his mouth.

"Why can I even do that, anyone?"

He then shrugged it off and headed to the bridge. He had almost arrived.

Meanwhile, in Peach's Castle…

"Mario, are you sure about this?"

Peach called to the red-clad plumber. Mario himself seemed to be quite uneasy on the situation.

Mario then sighed, deeply.

"I myself am not too sure… He'll flip if he found out about this…".

"Then why did you suggest this in the first place?", Daisy now inquired.

"We can't hide this from him forever. Either he know now, or he will be set up for even bigger disappointment…", Mario explained. His face seem worried.

"Just think on how hard he'll take this one. We don't want it to be even worse… I know this is as hard as steel, but we have no other choice…".

Daisy lowered her head. She knew this was all her fault, but she can't do anything. She can't help but to fall in love with someone she, and Luigi, never knew would took her attention.

Everything swirled inside the princess' head, and she was nervous and anxious. What will Luigi say? What will Luigi react? And more importantly, how is he going to be after this?

"Hey, calm down will you?"

Waluigi suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"Just don't be nervous. I'll be there beside you when you tell him…"

He patted her shoulder. Daisy smiled weakly while hugging the purple-clad plumber.

"Thanks, darling", she whispered.

*Knock knock*

Everyone snapped at that moment. Their eyes now shooting the door. Daisy and Waluigi quickly broke their form, and Mario gulped. Earning a nod from Peach, he slowly approached the door, and time felt to flow really slowly when he grabbed the door knob. With a deep breath, he shakily opened it.

"Ah, Princess! Forgive me for my lateness!".

Mario's jaw slightly dropped, as he lowered his head to see an old-looking Toad with a stick in front of the door.

"Oh, Master Mario! I see everyone has assembled, yes?", Toadsworth asked cheerfully.

Meanwhile, everyone face-faulted.

But when everyone just breathed sighs of relief…

"Man. Don't scare me like that", Mario huffed. "I seriously thought you were Luigi".

"That's me!".

All of them snapped. Luigi was right in front of the door, right behind Toadsworth.

Mario faced the screen, with an unamused face.

'…Seriously?'

Everyone was nervous. The ones who know about the problem anyway. Daisy and Waluigi, especially, who right now are very anxious and couldn't stop to gulp. Toadsworth, however, is oblivious and greeted Luigi without any stutterings.

"Master Luigi!", shouted Toadsworth.

"I see you have arrived. Shall we begin now?".

Luigi nodded, as he approached a sofa. He noticed Daisy, and smiled.

"Hey Daisy. Long time no see!".

Daisy was taken surprise by the greeting, and in turn stuttered on her reply.

"H-Hi Luigi!".

"What's wrong? You're stammering".

"It's-It's nothing…", she said with a nervous grin.

Luigi slowly nodded as he drifted to his mind space. He then took a look around, everyone else also seem to one-two about something, and the most of all, most gazes were directed to him.

He rubbed his temple, 'Something seems off. What's wrong with everyone today?'.

As silence was about to take the king's spot, Peach cleared her throat.

"Alright… Now that everybody is here, I suppose we should start now… But first…".

She glanced to Daisy.

"Uh… Just about a while ago, Princess Daisy has asked for some time to… announce about something. So… without further ado, Princess Daisy may stand now".

Daisy, after earning a supporting glance from Waluigi, stood up, and faced Luigi. Luigi gave her his raised eyebrow.

"L-Luigi…", Daisy stammered again.

"Hm?"

"I… I couldn't keep this secret any longer…".

"What secret? And why in front of everyone?".

"Luigi…", Daisy whispered. "T-truth… to be told…".

Everyone gulped. This wasn't going to be pretty… Meanwhile, Luigi was only just more curious.

"What? What is it? Don't stick it in your throat! Just say it!".

"The thing is… I…".

Luigi was getting various vibes from that sentence, and different feelings. One side of him told him to be happy, because this might be a good news. But the other side of him told him… to be angry. Angry and disappointed… because what comes out might be devastating.

"I…"

"I… and Waluigi had been dating for the past few months…".

Mario and Wario snapped.

'The bomb is out'.

Luigi, meanwhile, was left to has his jaw hit the floor.

"…What?", was the word he could manage at this point. He was too shocked.

Waluigi stood up, and took Daisy place to explain as the latter was currently at a loss on what she should say next.

"It's true. Ever since you have been busier and busier, we have gotten closer and closer… and as a result… here we are…"

Luigi couldn't believe it. He was paralyzed by shock and anger. He lowered his head, covering his eyes from the views with his hat.

Daisy, with a saddened face, said.

"We understand how upset you are… and you are right to blame us… But… we… we just couldn't help it!".

Daisy gave a low sigh, a sad sigh, as she finished.

"…I'm sorry… Luigi…".

'I'm sorry…'

The word continued to rang in Luigi's head.

'I'm sorry…'

'I'm sorry…'

'Sorry…'

'I'm so sorry…'

'I'm sorry…'

He couldn't take it anymore. He stood up. His usual and carefree attitude flown away… and was replaced by…

"…Sorry?", he suddenly said in a deep voice.

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden change of tone.

"Sorry…?", Luigi said once more, now with anger hinted in his voice.

Everyone sensed danger, and either stood up or stepped back, with Daisy and Waluigi taking the latter.

Luigi was trembling and shaking. He then showed his gritted teeth, and his head shook from containing the anger…

His negativity.

And then… he snapped his head up. Everyone gasped, as he yelled out.

"SORRY!?"

He clenched his fists, hard, as they shook like crazy. Luigi's breath was heavy, and he still sports his enraged face and shaking body. Everyone has now put some safe distance from Luigi, except Daisy and Waluigi, who were still standing in front of the angered plumber, frozen due to the sudden outburst.

Inside Luigi… he was being killed. Every good thoughts… every happiness he remembered… his attitude… were gone. Now what was filled inside him… was sadness… and anger… and rage…

And vengeance.

He had never felt this angry before, not even when losing in the last Smash Bros. invitation and the crowds are booing on him, everyone, except his bro and his little bit of friends. He felt as his negative powers that were fuel to his Negative Zone coursed throughout his entire body. He couldn't take it anymore. Neglection and no credits… as well as never being the number one… NOW he is being fooled? Thinking he had found his partner for the rest of his life? Loving nothing?

He felt he could burst into tears now… But even that was overriden by his other self. The floor around him began to crack, as Luigi got angrier and angrier. Soon, Waluigi sensed it was dangerous, and grabbed Daisy's hand, who froze due to the scene before her, and pulled her out.

Luigi noticed this… and now he was filled with another one of his bad thoughts… His love was taken away… and now they are about to have a happy life… where he couldn't. He tried so hard… so far… to gain recognition… only to fail and be a sore loser at the end. He felt he had fought hard, so hard… and when he gets more adventures… something very important from him was taken away… Was he destined to be alone? Forever alone? His bro could get the things he had hoped to get, yet he couldn't? Was the 'Luigi is the inferior brother' statement true all along?

Luigi now had passed the barrier. No, he had broken his sanity's limits, and at the next second, he roared extremely loud, hands now flashed in a green light, and the light was so bright that everyone had to cover their eyes. The floor's cracks began to spread as Luigi continues his terrible roar for good 10 seconds straight.

When the light dimmed down though, everyone was greeted with a shocking surprise.

Mario glued his eyes on Luigi's hands, before pointing out, "Luigi! Why… why are your HANDS on fire!?".

Luigi, however didn't care. He began to walk towards Daisy and Waluigi, both froze due to fear. The crowds were also stunned at the sight, none of them could move a muscle.

Luigi then opened his mouth.

"All the times we went together… All the times we struggled together…. All the times we LOVED each other… YOU WANT TO THROW IT ALL AWAY WITH A 'SORRY'!?".

Daisy gasped, as she broke in tears, she held out a hand against Luigi, "No! Luigi! Please… stop!".

"I WON'T!", Luigi roared once again.

"I have been fooled… I have been made fun of! What am I!? A TOOL TO PLEASURE YOU AND TO BREAK AND THROW AWAY WHEN YOU FIND ANOTHER ONE!? WHAT I REALLY WAS TO YOU!?". His pupils disappeared, he was above his own sanity.

"Oh no!", Peach panicked.

"He lost it!".

Mario and Wario quickly jumped in front of Luigi, hands outstreched to the side.

"Luigi! Snap out of it! This isn't yourself!", Mario shouted.

"I know you're mad, but don't go killin' my brother because of it!", Wario yelled.

"DON'T GET IN MY WAY!"

Luigi slammed his fist to Wario's left cheek. The latter was flown towards a wall, and created a huge hole. He struggled to find the strength to get up as he held his injured cheek. Luigi then turned to Mario, as he tried a punch, but was blocked.

"Luigi!", Mario said.

"Please! Don't do this!".

Luigi didn't listened however, as he grabbed Mario's wrist, spun him around, and threw his brother on a wall opposite of Wario's. The impact created similar hole, as Mario held his chest, and sat there without discovering the power to pick himself up.

The crowds shouted Mario's and Wario's name, but Luigi didn't care. What matter the most… was to exact revenge for the treatment he has been receiving for all these years!

In seconds, Luigi was right in front of Daisy and Waluigi, with the former hugging the latter due to fear. Waluigi himself wasn't exactly not scared, but he managed to held his stare to Luigi's own eyes.

Luigi gritted his teeth, as he summoned his green fire powers on his hands again. Waluigi flinched, but with almost no power to get up and flee due to fear and shock. He looked at Luigi in complete quail as the fire grew bigger and bigger. Luigi then held his hands above his head, and combined the fire to create an even bigger sphere of green flame.

Mario struggled to stand up, but he noticed his brother's actions. He held out a hand, but it was useless.

"No… STOP!".

"It's time for you all to pay… FOR MY PAIN I HAVE HIDDEN MY ENTIRE LIFE!", Luigi roared.

"DIE!".

Daisy and Waluigi only hugged each other firmly. They couldn't escape now. They were at the plumber's mercy… and helpless…

But as Luigi was about to end their lifes…

'No… Stop! Luigi… Snap… out of it!'

A voice suddenly said in Luigi's head. However, his voice went stammered due to Luigi's emotions holding back his words, but it was doable to hear.

' You sworn to protect… your friends… remember!? Don't let your hard work… be wasted… because of this… action you are taking!'.

'WHO ARE YOU!?', Luigi shouted in his mind, enraged due to the interference

'Just please…', the voice pleaded.

'You… promised yourself… to become better, remember!? Now you have got it… to be… a major part… in Mario's adventures! Don't… let it be gone… by injuring your friends you've promised to cherish and take care!'.

'THEY ARE NOT MY FRIENDS!', Luigi yelled.

'What kind of friends they are if they only kept slicing my soul with their blades!?'.

'They don't now!', the voice retorted. His voice now coming out smoother.

'Now you've got it right!? Respect? From everyone!? Don't let Daisy's change of heart ruin your views on them! Imagine how much you will be hated if you kill them… EVERYTHING WILL BE GONE IN AN INSTANT!'.

Luigi was taken aback.

Whoever the voice is… he was right… He abandoned the fact he had been credited for his adventures now… and the fact he was respected, albeit not as much as his brother, by his people. His hard work… had been paying off! He had been strong throughout his entire adventures, NOW he has to be strong in his heart as well!

'My negativity… my bad thoughts…', Luigi silently whispered.

'GET OUT OF MY HEAD!'.

Meanwhile, Daisy and Waluigi were still frozen in place, none of them dared to face the enraged green plumber.

As Luigi was about to bring his sphere down, however, something hit his head, mentally, hard.

And all of a sudden, his sphere vanished, and his pupils reappeared. And then… he crumpled to his knees, and collapsed, panting heavily.

Waluigi slowly opened his eyes, and instead of finding himself on fire, he was untouched.

"Wha-".

Daisy also now had her eyes open, and found no wounds to her body. Instead, she found the green plumber, collapsed before her very eyes.

"L-luigi?"

But before she could reach out her hand, Luigi held a palm in front of him, as he climbed back to his feet, and refused to show his eyes. Everyone was silent as he turned back, and walked away from the pair. He walked towards the door, but before he could get any closer, Mario shouted.

"Lu-"

"Stop", Luigi firmly said while having a threathening voice as well.

"I apologize for the damage. I'll clean it up after this", Luigi said in straight voice, as if the feelings had scrammed inside of him.

"I just need to be alone. So please, don't bring out that side of me ever again. I'm sorry, I really do. But please, just don't follow me".

Mario halted, "A-alright…".

But before Luigi grabbed the knob of the door, he shoved his hand to his hat. He then took something out, and held it in front of him, obscuring whatever he was holding with his body. Everyone silented, no one dared to talk a word.

He then held the object above his head. Everyone gasped, with the loudest being Daisy's and Peach's.

'A flower pack…? No.. Daisies flower pack?', Peach said in her mind.

Luigi's hand then trembled, as he threw the flowers to the side, hitting the wall and fell to the floor. Gasps then can be heard once again.

Before anybody could comment, his body shook again. And sobs could be heard from the green plumber. Everyone watched in sadness as Luigi grabbed the knob of the door and closed it without showing his face. A running footsteps can be heard afterwards.

Mario looked at the door with pitying face.

'Poor Luigi…'.

Daisy, finally finding the strength to stand up, walked towards the flowers, with Waluigi accompanying her. She picked the fine daisies from the floor, as she noticed a paper attached to the pack. What she read drained her power.

'To Daisy. My love 3 -Luigi'

As soon as she finished, she buried her head in Waluigi's chest, sobbing uncontrollably. The purple-clad fellow just embraced her as he felt terrible for all of this. The rest of the room who have just witnessed the unexpected scene just stood with their heads lowered.

They had to face it. Luigi had been broken.

Luigi dashed through the halls, which thankfully has no people hanging out there. He then ran towards the main door and slammed it open. He then sprinted as fast as he can out of the bridge and to Toad Town.

He wasn't going to let his tears be seen by anyone, so he kept on running. Few Toads noticed Luigi's sprint, but thankfully, very little of them could catch Luigi's proof of broken heart. Luigi gritted his teeth as he skidded to a stop in front of his house. He then took a moment to calm himself down as he unlocked the door and slowly closed it.

He walked straight to his bedroom, head still hung low. He opened his door and slammed it behind him. As he is inside, he sat behind the door, covering his eyes with his hand as he sobbed, pitying himself for the troubles he has come through.

"Now… I have achieved… my goal… Then… THEN another was taken from me…"

"Just what… just what I am…? My brother can get everything… yet I… I can't…".

He sobbed louder.

"Just… just WHO I am?".

He had to face it. He had been broken.

"….And that's what happened", Luigi finished.

"…What…?"

Rosalina was at a loss of words.

Luigi's face clearly showed him lamenting his story. He never wanted that to ever happen. Never. But what done is done…

"I know what you are thinking", Luigi spoke.

"I nearly killed my friends. And now you think of me…as a monster".

Rosalina instantly snapped.

"Luigi, you-".

"Just because of a broken heart, I nearly got myself in wanted list because I almost took lifes of a purple-clad man and a princess, for cyring out loud. I wouldn't blame you if you were to think I'm a fool either. ".

"No!"

"You don't need to pity me. This is what I get for messing up. Now I know… life is cruel".

"It is true. But-".

Luigi simply laughed lightly, not really hearing what Rosalina tried to say.

"Maybe life just doesn't allow me to be better than my bro… I've always wondered why he can get everything and does everything flawlessly. I've tried hard in my life and, hot damn, I didn't get everything".

The green plumber then closed his eyes.

"Maybe… just maybe… I was born to be forever in my brother's shadow… I sometimes feel this way… Perhaps it's just been true all along…".

The plumber then lowered his head.

"All of this just made me think. I think I'm just an inferior Ma-".

He was interrupted when two warm hands were wrapped on him.

"Please, just stop", Rosalina called out.

Luigi's mouth was instantly shut.

"Never, ever say that again. You are your own person. It doesn't matter if you both are twins… We all would've sinned if we ever say both of you are the same…"

Luigi didn't budged an inch.

"It does not matter what feats you have achieved, it never was. You are my friend, and your sadness will forever be needles to my heart".

Rosalina could see the plumber's lips were shaking, and she pressed on.

"You are not an inferior Mario. Had you have been, you would've never gotten here. Perhaps, you would've been-I'm sorry-finished off somewhere else. But you proved you weren't".

She then released her grip, and then she placed her hand to Luigi's shoulder.

"It may be selfish for me to say this, but I just want you to stay strong, like you have always been throughout your adventures, and remember you have your friends who back you up, including me, who are ready to help you whenever you lose your footing and struggles to get back up. Some of us may hurt your heart from time to time, but at least, deep inside, I do care for you. And I am sure none of us would simply toss you and our friendship away like disposable commodity… And I am sure I am speaking for everyone".

Luigi fell silent. Rosalina also stayed shut, before she had a head moved in to her torso.

This surprised the female.

"I…I just…", Luigi stuttered, with closed eyes.

"I just never get how Mario can be the hero he is now. I know I have to try, but I have. I just got respect, and then the love of my life was taken away. How unfair is that?"

Rosalina then decided to hug the green plumber again.

"Like I said", she started.

"You are not your brother. You both may be twins, but that doesn't mean you have to be him. You have your own ways, your own path of life. There are no points trying to compare you both, because you are different."

Luigi looked up, facing Rosalina eyes-to-eyes.

The wrap got tighter.

Luigi then sank in, cheeks turning slight red.

"Thank you…"

They stayed that way for about thirty seconds before breaking it up.

"I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"I made it like I wanted you to pity me… Perhaps I shouldn't have recalled over that event in the first place..."

"It's of no problem. I'm ready to help whenever a friend stumble over an obstacle".

Luigi then smiled.

"You're really nice. I'm happy to have a friend like you…"

Rosalina returned the smile.

"I can't bear to lose another precious things in my life… As I already lost them in the past".

The smile faded.

"D-did I bring back your harsh memories? Oh God, I'm sorry…", Luigi said as he lowered his head.

He did knew about Rosalina's past. Even though she never actually revealed it, he knew from her storybook she often read for the Lumas. He and his brother did took time to hear some of her stories, but the story about the little girl and the Lumas hurt the most. At the end, Luigi was happy she can find a new family who cares for her, but he also pity her on having her mother died under a tree and going to outer space, leaving her planet, leaving her family…

But his thoughts were interrupted when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"It's alright…", the smile then made its return.

"I still have my childern whom I care of. And now I have you and the others… I am happy to be able to meet you all…".

The green plumber then felt happiness. All he need was a smile from the female to raise his spirits.

But the spirit raised a bit too high for his standards.

"It's always nice to see you smile…".

Rosalina then found herself to be in Luigi's wrap, very much to her surprise.

"And I'm happy when you are happy…".

She was shocked, but returned the hug nevertheless.

That was when Luigi realized what he was doing at the moment, and quickly backed off, blushing a bit too red.

"Er… I'm sorry!"

"N-no… Actually. I appreciate it", Rosalina replied with a smile.

"I-I guess… I'll… just go to sleep now", Luigi quickly said, without really hearing what Rosalina had said. And quickly took off his gloves, hat, and slipped in the blanket in just a flash. All while still having his cheeks painted in red.

"Thanks for listening to me".

Rosalina then watched as Luigi just fell in sleep seconds after.

She simply giggled as she noticed Luigi slept without even changing clothes, or brushing his teeth.

"What's done is done…", she whispered to particularly no one.

She then tended herself by changing to her pajamas, brushing her teeth, and took off her crown…

But she couldn't end her night without giving the plumber a bedtime kiss.

"Happy dreams, Luigi"

And then she went to her bed with a smile.

Chapter 4 is up!

For those who haven't noticed, yes, the flashbacks aren't actually specifically in Luigi's POV, but instead in third person view, and some of the scenes may have been unknown to Luigi. So the flashbacks are generally just actually 'a story, but in the past'. Luigi told Rosalina what he know and left out things he thought was embarrasing (His 'final words' when fighting Master Core) or that he didn't know about (Before he arrived at the meeting in Peach's Castle. Sorry if it's a bit misleading.

So we have... yeah. Luigi broke up with Daisy before SSB4 started. My reasoning behind is because Luigi has been attending 'more adventures', thus having less time to spend with his girlfirend and boom, Daisy just took interest in Waluigi. This is a reference on how Luigi got his own year and on how he had his own games (Dark Moon... Dream Team (Sorta)... Super Luigi U...) recently. Coincidentically, none of these games includes Daisy or Waluigi, so Daisy more or less cheated on Luigi, even though she admits she cannot help it.

And never mess with an angry Luigi...

Rosalina then gave Luigi some comfort when he was depressed due to recalling his painful experience... He thanks her for it and returned the favor a little when she remembered about her past...

And then they hit the hay!

Again. I appreciate reviews, even more if they are constructive. I'm far from being the best, and I thrive on improving myself! So please, give me critisims if you have one!

BTW, keep guessing on the 'voice', people :P! Changing the summary because 'plumber' isn't exactly the best way to describe him.

OMIGOSH is that person what I think he is!?

It should be a surprise. So keep guessing~

Anyway. That's all for this chapter. Hope you had fun reading! Bye for now!
