Luigi:

I couldn't believe who was with Peach, I mean, Mario wasn't kidding. She smiled politely at me, I smiled at her, but it came out as a crooked one. She giggled, Mario glared at me as if he was telling me to "shut up" or something. I cleared my throat and stood next to the door, letting the girls through. Mario closed the door behind him and sat down next to Peach and I, being the coward I am, stood behind the counter. I could see Mario trying to hold in a laugh, I shook my head stiffly at him. He couldn't help it, he busted out laughing. Peach looked at him startled, Mario tumbled over laughing. My face felt like it was burning up, Daisy shrugged at me; a smirk on her face.

"Mario? Are you okay?" Peach asks, still startled about his sudden outburst. He got up off the floor and pretended to wipe away a tear. He nodded at Peach, and got his serious face plastered on his face again.

"Yeah- ha-ha, Luigi, can I talk to you?" he says, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Daisy realize he was laughing at me. I sighed and walked over to him, he pulled over out of the sight of the girls. "That right there is last thing you want to do," He says giving me advice.

"What are you talking about?" I ask, clueless. He sighed, shaking his head,

"I mean, go talk to Daisy. She isn't going to bite, stop turning her away." He was referring to me to stop standing behind the kitchen counter.

"What," I say in a hushed, loud voice, "No!"

"You like her don't you?" he says, elbowing me in the rib cage, wiggling his eye brows up and down. A smirk on his face. All I did was shrug, I was unsure of what to do. I was confused out of my mind, Mario was actually trying to help me. "All I'm asking is to just go talk to her." He presses on, I shook my head,

"I prefer being a loner." Mario rolled his eyes; which was quite noticeable. He whacked me in the arm and said,

"Luigi! Man up!" I had yelled out an "ow!" when he whacked my arm, he stared at me. "By the way, how on earth could that hurt? I didn't even hit you that hard?"

"Well, in case you haven't noticed yet, I'm still regaining all that muscle for gymnastics after my body ate it all before treatment!" I yelled sourly...Too loud. The girls gasped, startled again. I walked back out casually but rubbing my arm. I noticed Daisy curious, she looked at my arm (which Mario hits people -me- really hard, I can bet you that by tomorrow there will be a bruise). I looked at her then I followed her eyes, I stopped rubbing my arm, and sat next to her.

"You okay there?" She says, casually, nodding at my arm.

"Uh? Oh! Yeah! It's fine!" I saw Mario stroll on out whistling from the corner we were arguing in. Mario sat back down next to Peach and set his hand on hers. She smiled at him, "So, uh, what's new?" I tried to start a less awkward conversation.

"Peach, let's go for a walk." Mario says quietly (I could still hear him), to her, hopping off his chair. She followed getting what he was trying to say. I was so going to kill him as soon as he hauls his ass back in here.

"Soooo..." Daisy says, trying to hide a smile. Her eyes glowed in the sunlight coming in from the windows.

"So...," I copied her, "You like being here?" YOU IDIOT! Don't say that to her! Address her, get to know her. She's obviously waiting to hear from you! I felt a conscience say,

"Here? As in Sarassaland? Yeah, it's so much more...I dunno, I guess there's just more to do." She says,

"Ah, isn't Sarassaland in the desert?" I asked, looking down trying to hide my burning face. I saw her nod,

"Yup, I love coming here for winter, it's so much cooler. And because it's the desert, it's always hot." Woah, does she talk a lot. Not that I mind that...Not at all. I do too, I'm not going to lie. I nodded in agreement with her, I had been there a few times but I can hardly remember them.

"So, Luigi, how are you holding up?" she asks, looking a little down at me because my head was still hanging. I'm pretty sure she's referring to the hospital incident. I nodded again,

"Good." Really? That's all I could say? Wow. Just wow.

"You don't talk much do you?" She asks, sitting back in her chair. Taking a sip of water from the bottle I guess she had brought with her. My head lifted up, I shook it,

"No! I do, it's just that...Never mind. Heh, I actually talk quite a bit when it's Mario and I at the house." I scratched the back of my head,

"That's cool, so, what do you do in your spare time? Any hobbies?" Daisy's tone was still casual, she seemed like a cool girl. I surprised that she was actually interested in what I had to say, because most people would have already stopped me. I think we've established that I'm not the most interesting person...

"Ha-ha, yeah, I play guitar...Uh, that's about it." I said trying to think of stuff I do around here. Daisy smiled,

"That's cool, are you a pro?" she asks,

"I guess you can say that...Sa- Say Daisy, um,- Oh crap I'm getting nervous.

"Yes?"

"Would- would you like to go on a date sometime?" Her eyes lit up,

"Of course! About 6:30, tonight?" Daisy bounced in her chair slightly, I could see she was thrilled. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Mario standing in the window; talking to Peach.

"That sounds great, see you then." I say getting down from my chair as she did the same.

"Well, I better head on back to Sarassaland before my father freaks that I was gone later than allowed." She says nodding at the door,

"Okay- dokie. Bye!" I say, smiling, for the first time...the first real smile, I had in a while.

"See ya later, Luigi!" She says, heading out the door, not noticing Mario and Peach. Once she was gone, I assumed Peach had followed her and Mario came through the door. A huge grin played across his face,

"Well? How did it go?" he asked, I walked over to him and pinched him hard. "OW!" He yells, "What in the hell was that for?!"

"For hitting me earlier and leaving us intentionally!" I yelled back,

"Hey! I did you a favor!"

"Yeah, you did! And that was you're reward!" I say, referring to the pinch. We were silent for a few minutes, then he said,

"But tell me what happened at least." I sighed and said while pulling him into a hug,

"She said 'yes'!"

I hope you liked it, yes, it was a little too short but it was short and sweet. I'll have the next chappie up soon!

Review please!
