Luigi had arrived into the kitchen the next morning, where Mario, Peach, and Daisy were all waiting for him. Mario and Peach were both very thrilled to see that Luigi had recovered from the accident.

"Luigi! You're OK!" Mario exclaimed in exciting the second he noticed that his brother was fine.

"We were all very worried about you," Peach said,"we were afraid that you'd never wake up." Luigi, however, was still slightly confused. He doesn't remember much about the accident besides the fact that he raced on Daisy Circuit and saw a giant gold statue of him and Daisy dancing with one another. The rest was all blank to him. The last thing he remembered upon his recovery was Daisy reaching out to him to hug him, crying with tears of joy upon his recovery.

"Y-you were?" Luigi asked confusingly.

"Yeah, we were all worried sick about you," Peach explained.

"Yeah, we all were," Mario continued, "especially Daisy. She was so scared bro. She thought she'd never get a chance to talk to you again. She was the one who was worried about you the most." Luigi was shocked by what Mario had told him. He never in a million years had thought that such a beautiful girl like Daisy would show so much concern for him. Why was Daisy so different from the other girls he had talked to in the past? I mean sure, Daisy looked different from the other girls Luigi had met in the past. She also behaved much differently from the other girls as well due to her tomboyish nature and her outgoing personality, not to mention her love for sports and competition. But it was much more than that. Unlike the girls Luigi had met in the past, Daisy had always been attracted to Luigi, although she never really revealed it to him. There was just always something about Luigi that Daisy found was rather cute about him. She had always been fascinated in Luigi since the first time she had met him and she wanted to learn more about him. Luigi was also fascinated in Daisy. And even though Daisy behaved like a guy sometimes, Luigi never mind too much about it. To him, Daisy is still a girl, and Luigi thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the world. But what was it about Daisy that made her stand out so much from the other girls? Of all of the girls Luigi had ever met, Daisy was the only one who ever understood him and what he goes through. She was the only one who ever gave Luigi the courage and motivation he needed to succeed in everything he does. Luigi isn't quite as brave or well-known as his older brother Mario, but none of that really mattered to Daisy. Daisy knew that deep down inside, Luigi can be just as successful as his brother Mario, and she wanted Luigi himself to realize that.

"S-she was?" Luigi asked curiously.

"Of course she was," Peach answered, "Daisy even sat by your bedside all night just to make sure you were OK. She didn't leave or even take her eyes off you for even a second. And she was incredibly overjoyed to find out you were OK." Luigi was once again in a surprised state. He never expected for Daisy to do something like this before. Did Daisy really care about him that much? Was she really finding herself falling in love with Luigi? These questions rattled inside Luigi's head each time he thought about Daisy.

I don't get it, Luigi pondered to himself, why would Daisy go through all of that trouble just to make sure I was going to be fine? She's so different from the other girls I had ever talked to. Could Mario and Peach have really been right about Daisy? Does Daisy really like me that much? I really love her, but what if she doesn't love me back. What if I get rejected again like I always do? What if she just laughs right in my face as soon as I reveal my feelings to her? These thoughts had completely blinded Luigi in the fact that Daisy really does love him.

Later that same day, Luigi was peering outside of a window on the balcony of Peach's Castle. He spotted Daisy outside in her soccer uniform she uses in the Striker's tournaments. She was outside, dribbling a soccer ball around and practicing with her friend Peach, who was also wearing her soccer uniform. Watching and cheering Peach on from the sidelines was none other than Luigi's brother and best friend, Mario. Aside from karting, playing golf, and playing tennis, both Luigi and Daisy were quite talented at soccer as well. At one point they were even opponents against one another in a final's match. Daisy was quite amazed by Luigi's skills, as he didn't act as cowardly as he normally does. Although Luigi hardly ever notices it, he hardly ever gets scared or afraid whenever he plays soccer. He acts just as brave as his ambitious brother Mario, if not braver. And Daisy was right; Luigi had many hidden talents and skills that even he doesn't know about yet. If only she could get Luigi to realize that. If only she could get Luigi to realize that he wasn't as fragile or hopeless as he thought he was. If only she could get Luigi to realize that he is just as gifted and talented as Mario.

Mario was rooting for Peach as loudly as he possibly could.

"Come on Peach!" the red plumber yelled to the princess in pink, "you can do it!" Peach was attempting to block Daisy from shooting the soccer ball into the goal. She tried to the best of her defensive skills to prevent a goal from being accepted. However, Daisy still managed to score. But, being the respectable princess that Daisy was, she congratulated her friend Peach on her effort. Although Peach was never as talented at sports events as Daisy was, she still tried ten times as hard as anyone would ever expect her to try. She carried the same determination as she would expect Mario to have and always tried her hardest no matter what.

"Great try Peach," Daisy said as she extended her hand to Peach for a handshake. Peach, being the kind princess that she is, gratefully accepted the handshake.

"Thank you Daisy," Peach said, "but I'm still nowhere as good as you are."

"Don't worry about that," Mario said having a different point of view, "you did great out there. I've never seen anybody work that hard before. You were really something." Peach was very excited to hear these words come from Mario's mouth. She immediately lunged for Mario and hugged him greatly.

"Oh, thank you Mario!!!!" Peach said excitedly as she kissed him afterwards. Mario responded to this action with a smile and a sign of blush.

"You're welcome Peach," he responded.

Luigi immediately rushed downstairs and outside to see Daisy. He slowly walked up to Daisy, hoping she wouldn't notice him. However, that didn't exactly work out well, as Daisy immediately spotted him upon his arrival.

"Oh, hi Luigi," Daisy greeted cheerfully as she saw the green plumber.

"H-hi Daisy," Luigi replied nervously.

"I'm so glad to see that you're OK," Daisy gratefully said as she reflected upon the karting accident that occurred yesterday, "I was so worried about you".

"Y-you were?"

"Of course I was Luigi. You have no idea how afraid I was of losing you. Don't you ever scare me like that again!" Daisy demanded as she reached out and hugged Luigi tightly. Daisy was a bit upset at Luigi for making her worry so much, but at the same time, she is also very happy and relieved to see that he is OK. Luigi, however, was still confused. He couldn't tell if Daisy really did like him, or if she was just showing sympathy for him. He wasn't used to having this much love and care from somebody who truly loves him. The only thing Luigi was ever use to hearing from beautiful women was insults and put downs. So why was it that Daisy treated him a lot better than they have? How did Daisy possibly manage to put up with Luigi's slightly clumsy personality? Daisy, however, wasn't the only who noticed Luigi's presence. Peach and Mario have also noticed Luigi coming down to see Daisy.

"Hey, Luigi. What's up?" Mario greeted as he saw his brother.

"Hey Mario," Luigi greeted back, "what have you all been up to?"

"Daisy and I were out here playing a soccer game against each other," Peach answered, "Daisy wanted me play a few rounds against her while we were waiting for you to come down. She's really good." Unknown to Luigi, Daisy had once again had something planned. Hoping to get Luigi alone with her, Daisy winked at Peach and Mario and signaled for them to leave. Without giving Luigi any notice, Mario and Peach quietly sneaked away, hoping to give Luigi the perfect opportunity to ask Daisy.

"So Mario, what are you and Peach doing for the ball?" Luigi asked. But he soon notices that Mario and Peach were nowhere to be found. They were completely gone and out of sight, leaving only Daisy with him. Luigi then soon became nervous again. Daisy struck a playful smile on her face, hoping that Luigi will finally ask her the question she's been waiting to hear ever since she arrived at the Mushroom Kingdom.

"Well Luigi, it seems that we're alone now," Daisy said playfully, "just you and me."

"Uhhh….yeah I guess," Luigi said nervously.

"Well, haven't you ever felt like you wanted to somebody something really important?" Daisy asked suggestively.

"Well I, uhhhhh"

"Come on Luigi, if there's something you want to ask me you just let it out. I mean anything at all." Luigi was still nervous. He couldn't decide what decision to make. One part of him was telling him to ask Daisy out already and another part of him was saying to just forget about it, you don't have a chance with her. Daisy was still desperately awaiting the question from Luigi.

"Come on Luigi, is there anything you want to ask me at all!?" she asked impatiently. Luigi was trying the best he could to pull out all the courage he could to ask her out. He was doing the best he could to fight through the shyness and timidness holding him back from asking her the question he was hoping to be answered as a "yes". But it was just too much for him. He was too nervous and he couldn't bear hearing the answer "no". He was sweating worse than a guy walking through the desert on the hottest day of the year.

"Uhhhh…..no, it nothing. I don't have anything to ask Daisy," Luigi lied. He really wanted to ask her, but he was afraid of being rejected. Daisy was devastated.

How could Luigi avoid such a perfect opportunity to have the girl of his dreams by his side? She once again began streaming tears down her face, as Luigi didn't ask her out. Luigi, noticing the tears in Daisy's eyes, went over to see if she was OK. He hated seeing Daisy sad and it hurts him even more on the inside than it hurts Daisy.

"Daisy, are you OK?" Luigi asked in concern. Daisy could not hold back the tears from her eyes no matter how hard she tried.

"I'm fine," Daisy lied while still sobering.

"You don't sound like you're fine. Are you sure you're OK?"

"I said I'm fine Luigi, now just leave me alone!!!!" she shouted as she ran away, trying to wipe the tears from her eyes. Luigi was feeling the exact same pain Daisy was feeling. He suffering from the exact same emotional pain Daisy was suffering from. He knew that he had made a huge mistake by not asking Daisy out when he had the chance.

UGH! I'm such a wimp. How could I make such a stupid mistake? Luigi asked himself in his thoughts.
