"So... Uh... Daisy, what ride should we go on?"
Luigi was a little nervous; since this was really the first time he was alone with Daisy on the trip.
"Well, how about we look at the park map and find out, hmm?" Daisy replied, pulling out the above said map, "Let's see, what ride we should go on..."
Oh, man, Luigi thought to himself, please don't choose anything mushy or romantic, like that carousel or something. Please, oh please, oh...
"How 'bout Space Mountain?"
"Er, what?"
"You know... Space Mountain! Come on, you wanted to go on it the minute you got here!"
"I did?"
Daisy, apparently, wasn't really waiting for Luigi to reply to her comment, as she was already dragging him to Tomorrowland. Once there, they went straight to Space Mountain... Only to find the line extremely long.
"Aw, man..." Daisy moaned, "Look how long the line is! It's like 45 minutes long!"
"Oh, what a shame," Luigi muttered, still rather nervous because of his 'neutral relationship' with Daisy, "How about we just go back to Main Street and wait for the rest of the gang?"
Just as Luigi was about to walk off, Daisy grabbed hold of his shoulder, stopping him.
"Well, 45 minutes isn't that long," Daisy began, "Besides, this is one of those Disney rides you just have to go on."
Snapping his fingers in defeat, Luigi followed Daisy into the ride. After about five minutes of waiting, Luigi decided it was about time he got over his fears and tried to talk to Daisy.
"So... Daisy..."
"Hmm?"
"Um... Well... You know... Erm..."
"Yes?"
"Er... I... Uh..."
"Are you ok?"
"Of course! It's just that... Ugh... How to put it..."
Luigi looked down at his watch.
"Wow. It's only been five minutes since we started talking. Funny, eh?"
"Right..."
Luigi smacked himself in the face. Moron, he thought to himself, Pull yourself together! Just gotta get enough courage to talk to her... Just gotta get the courage... Gotta get courage... Get courage... Courage...
"Hey, Luigi! You going to get in or what?"
Luigi looked up and noticed that they were already at the end of the line, and Daisy was already in the rocket!
"Oh, great..." Luigi mumbled under his breath, "Not only am I a lousy communicator, I'm a slow thinker, too..."
Reluctantly, he climbed into the seat behind Daisy, and the rocket moved away from the loading dock and into the darkness of the ride. Before long, it got really fast, and began dropping, turning, and climbing all around the inside of Space Mountain.
"YAHOO!" Daisy yelled, "ISN'T THIS FUN, LUIGI?"
'NOOO!" Luigi screamed in reply while holding on to his hat to make sure it didn't fall off during the ride.
As the ride ended and went into the unloading dock, Daisy was still giddy from the excitement of the ride. Luigi, however, was still terrified from it. In fact, he was actually holding on for dear life to the seat back in front of him. Unfortunately, this had the appearance of Luigi hugging Daisy.
"Oh... Heh, heh... Sorry..." Luigi sheepishly muttered as he let go of Daisy, "It's just something I do... When I'm... Nervous..."
"Don't worry about it!" Daisy replied, "I use to do that all the time!"
"You... Did?"
"Yeah! I can't even begin to imagine how many things I must have given a choke-hold when that alien attacked my kingdom!"
"Really, now? Gee, I never knew..."
Luigi and Daisy began to have their first 'real' conversation as they took the moving walkway out of Space Mountain and back into Tommorowland.
"Well, eventually that stupid alien broke my castle's defenses and kidnapped me," Daisy continued, "Fortunately, your brother came and saved me."
Oh, man. She brought up my bro. Luigi thought, I guess she thinks of him as her hero, not me. I really got to stop trying. I never did anything for her to deserve her attention, anyway...
"Oh, no!" Daisy cried, interrupting Luigi's thoughts.
"Wha... What is it?"
"One of my earrings is missing! I think it fell off during the ride! What am I going to do?"
"Oh... I'm so sorry for you..." Luigi began, trying to be as sympathetic as he could get, "I know! I'll go back in and look for it!"
"Thanks, Luigi," Daisy replied as she sat down on a bench, "but I don't think they let you look inside Space Mountain. It's one of those 'Disney Secret' things."
"Aw, gee... I don't know what to do now..."
Luigi, deep in thought, began to scratch the back of his head, as if it helped him to think somehow. Suddenly, he felt something sharp poke the side of his head. Taking his hat off, Luigi discovered that it was Daisy's missing earring! Apparently, when Daisy's earring fell off, it got caught on Luigi's hat!
"Uh... Daisy! I found your earring!"
"You did?"
"Yeah! I went back in the ride and found it!"
Daisy looked at Luigi with a knowing smile.
"Ok, ok... It was stuck on my hat, but I still found it, right?"
"Right..." Daisy answered, walking up to Luigi, "Either way, thank you," she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.
"Y-You're w-welcome..." Luigi shuttered, completely shocked, "I-I've never b-been thanked like that b-before..."
"You haven't? Well, there's a first time for everything, right?"
Daisy walked off, leaving Luigi standing there, dumbfounded.
Wow, I guess I don't have to something big to be a hero. Maybe I'll be able to be with her after all.
Editor's Note: Ok, so it took a real long time to update another chapter again. Don't worry, school's almost out. I'll be able to work on this a lot more once summer vacation begins.
