Ah, the last chapter to "Becoming Strong."
Disclaimer: The same as will always be.
Quick note again: this chapter has goes back to Luigi's point of view.
Epilogue
It has been a few days later since the battle against Bowser, Mr. L, and Mrs. D; and I got to say that I was totally content with that. Peace reigned again in the Mushroom Kingdom, no one had to worry about Bowser or any other form of disturbance. The desolated Toad Town and Yoshi Village were in the process of a slow but sure process of recovery; what is more is that the Darklands were also recovering as well. Why would I care for the Darklands? The answer is because the Darklands were now allies with the Mushroom Kingdom. Ludwig, Bowser's oldest and next-in-line-for-the-throne son, swore to never attack the Mushroom Kingdom; he remained true to his word and heck, even the Kooplings came to visit from time to time.
As for Daisy and I, she continued to rule over Sarasaland like she was supposed to (but she spent 90% of her time in the Mushroom Kingdom anyway) and the Mushroom Kingdom remained without a ruler. I turned down the offer to become the king of the Mushroom Kingdom, I was just fine being Luigi: the new protector of the Mushroom Kingdom. It caused a lot of upset Toads and such but they soon got over it.
Yoshi, Birdo, Birda, and Birdette all returned to Yoshi Village. They led groups, along with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, that started rebuilding Yoshi Village from the ground up. Unfortunately, the chief Yoshi died of old age soon after rebuilding started. He stated that he lived a good life and was happy to have seen that peace had returned before his time was up. As his final wish, he offered Yoshi the position as the village's chief. Yoshi graciously accepted the offer (it is funny sometimes when Daisy and I go over to visit him; we cannot decide whether to address him as chief Yoshi or the same Yoshi we all know and love).
Today, I was sitting in Peach's garden alone. I always made time to view the tombstones (which miraculously survived the assault when Bowser completely destroyed the castle) where they buried Mario and Peach.
"I did it bro and Peach," I quietly said. "Everything is the way it was supposed to be when you two left." I had not realized that Daisy was there as well until she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Hey sweetie," she greeted softly, kissing my cheek. "I have something to tell you..."
I waited for her to say something until we both heard more footsteps from behind us. When we turned, we were confronted by two people.
But not just any two people: one in red and one in pink.
But not just one person in red and one person in pink: they were two very special people. Two very special that we could not find the words to speak to them.
"Is that all you can say to me bro.?"
Daisy and I finally found the motive to actually move from our spots and hug these two very special people in our lives.
"I missed so much Luigi."
"Me too Mario. Me too."
The rest of the day was spent with the four of us: me, my beloved Daisy, my brother Mario, and his beloved Peach, doing anything we could come up with to do; whether it was kart racing, golfing, tennis, soccer, you name it- this day was the happiest day I would ever experience. From all the senseless fighting and adventuring I had to go through to get here, I believe it was all worth it in the end.
And that day would continue to be the happiest of my life when that same night, Daisy and I were alone outside and she whispered these exact three words I will never forget:
"Luigi, I'm pregnant."
-The End-
So did I surprise anyone with the ending? Yeah, Daisy knew more than she told you way back in chapter four! ^^
You also happy that I brought back Mario and Peach? I hope so, too many of you complained about that in the first place. :3
Well, this chapter concludes this story and I would like to thank everyone who reviewed (or not) and read the story from start to finish.
