OH MY GOD!

You're not in a coma or anything are you…

He's still not waking up…maybe I should call 911…

Luigi slowly emerged from the sudden darkness enveloping him at the sound of a woman's voice.

"Hmm…whaz..wha?", he sputtered as he slowly sat up. He groaned loudly at the sudden sharp aching pain he felt on his forehead.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright! You hit that sign really hard, here let me help you," the woman said as she sat down next to Luigi holding him up by putting her hand behind his back. She grabbed his other hand, slowly trying to help him stand up.

"Easy now…..there we go", she said as Luigi found his footing once more wobbling a bit.

"Th…thanks..,"Luigi said rubbing his forehead. He looked around for a second remembering what had just happened. He then turned back at the woman smiling meekly as she looked up at him shyly.

"Thanks for helping me. Guess I kinda, watching where I wasn't going huh?," he said letting out a nervous laugh while scratching the back of his head. The woman herself let out a laugh using it as a confirmation that the man was alright.

"I'm sorry to make you worry…um….nice seeing you. Oh and thanks again for helping me up." Not knowing what else to say Luigi started walking back down the sidewalk. Yeah that was a bit abrupt, but nonetheless he was really embarrassed for making such a ridiculous scene in front of a beautiful woman like that.

"Oh wait a second please!" the woman shouted after him. Luigi stopped in his tracks turning back towards the woman.

"I'm sorry but would you mind helping me? Think of it as a return favor for helping you get back on your feet," she giggled.

"Uh sure..hehe, no problem. What is it?"

"Well…I came here to visit a friend of mine. She lives in the castle here in Mushroom Kingdom. I'm sure you've heard of her, she's the Princess. Princess Peach. I recently heard that she has just gotten married and I came to see her new King. Would you happen to know where the castle is?"

Luigi almost raised an eyebrow curiously. He of course only knew the Princess and her husband full well and almost everyone in the castle. So who was this newcomer that wanted to see them? At the same time he got a chance to glance over the girl from head to toe as she talked. The conclusion he came to…she was downright beautiful. From her dress to her hair and her eyes, she was practically flawless. It was as if he was punched in the face by her devastating elegance and smooth gentle like complexion.

"Oh! Well…uh, yes. Yes I do. It's just a few blocks down here and to the right. I can easily take you to it if you wish," Luigi said smiling shyly. It wasn't like he had anything else better to do anyway.

"Oh thank you, that would be wonderful!," the woman said happily. Luigi gestured towards the girl and started leading the way as the two of them walked down the sidewalk together.

"Oh silly me I almost forgot. My name's Daisy by the way,".

"Well uh, pleasure to meet you Daisy".

"….So what's yours?," she giggled.

"Oh! Sorry…it's Luigi," he said, swallowing hard before uttering his name. He started rubbing the back of his neck nervously, and Daisy giggled.

"Nice to meet you too Luigi," she said beaming up at him.

It really is nice of him to go out of his way to bring me to see Peach. I can't forget to thank him somehow. Daisy thought as they started nearing the castle.

At the castle, Mario and Peach were sitting across from Toadsworth in what appeared to be a conference room. Peach was trying so hard to continue to focus on Toadsworth's long winded speeches, while it was quite evident that Mario was about to fall back to sleep again. Too wrapped up in his own authoritative words however, Toadsworth did not notice any of this. After it almost seemed like the two of them just couldn't stand to sit there anymore, there was a knocking at the door.

"We're having a mee-"

"I'll get it!" Peach said jumping right up to answer the door. Mario's sleep bubble quickly burst as he stirred at this sudden reaction.

"DAISY! And…Luigi!" Peach exclaimed in shock after opening the door.

"Oh Peach!" Daisy shouted happily as she flung her arms around her favorite gal pal.

"Oh Daisy it's great to see you, but I had no idea you were coming today!"

"Ah, well you know I couldn't stand to wait any longer, I was too excited to come see my girlfriend!" giggled Daisy.

Peach giggled back and soon enough they were in deep conversation, squealing and laughing excitedly every now and then.

Sighing, Toadsworth starting packing up the rest of the papers and put them inside his desk.

"I guess we'll just have to continue this meeting later on then," he said shuffling out the door with his cane. Awkwardly walking past the two doors Luigi stood next to Mario and leaned over whispering,

"Who IS that girl exactly?"

"Oh, Peach never told you? That's just her best friend Princess Daisy. She's brought her name up a few times during our conversations in the past."

"Is that so…" Luigi said trailing off. He continued to stare intently at Daisy getting yet another better look at her face and cute figure. Mario looked back at Luigi, then at Daisy then back at Luigi again smiling. He nudged Luigi a bit a big grin over his face,

"Hehe, cute ain't she?"

Returning back from his enchanting reverie, Luigi gave Mario a weird look.

"Psh, please…she's not for me."

"Oh? What's that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know…I mean…didn't you say she's a Princess? I'm not really cut out for the royalty type…"

"Oh please, look at me and Peach. I was really nothing more than just a plumber and look who my wife is now."

"Yeah…but you're like a renowned noble hero around here."

"Yeah well, so are you Luigi. There have been plenty of times where you've had my back. Now stop stressing."

Both brothers had suddenly turned around when they had heard both girls giggling at them.

"Are you boys done yet? Daisy and I were thinking that we'd all go out to town tonight to celebrate her coming here, and my sweet darling's new induction of King," Peach said cooing the second half of her sentence.

"Great Idea. I was meaning to take Luigi out tonight anyway! Ain't that right?" Mario said punching Luigi playfully.

"Oh, um, yeah…sure, why not? Hehe…", Luigi uttered swallowing hard once more. No matter how much he tried it was just physically impossible for him to talk normally to the girl in the yellow dress he had met moments ago. All he knew was her name and already he started getting the fuzzies inside of his stomach. It was a feeling that made Luigi high uncomfortable and at the same time almost as if he was in blissful reverie.

Daisy simply giggled at Luigi's response and noticed the way he was eyeing her.
