Hello, wonderful people who are kind enough to still be reading my stories! I am back. Sorry it took a few months, school can be slightly distracting. HOWEVER, I have returned to my writing, and I have finished the fifth and final chapter of this disappointing story. It disappoints you because it's not Ten Years Later, and me because it seems that it's not the most popular thing I have ever written.

Now, let's take a look at those who made the amazing choice to review:

EchoNyanko: Oh, thanks! That means a lot to me. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that.

PrincessDaisy269: The first chapter of Ten Years Later will be up soon. Today.

I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Like I said, this is the last chapter of this story, and Ten Years Later should be up within the next hour.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of Nintendo's characters.

I smiled as I sat down across from Peach. Luigi scooped some spaghetti onto my plate, then his own. I blushed a little as he sat down beside me.

I couldn't stop thinking about Luigi. He said he loves me. I wonder if he meant it. I hope so… because, I'm in love with him, too… I wish we were alone… If we were, I would tell him… maybe…

I glanced at him, and he smiled at me. Heat rushed up my neck as I looked back at my plate. I was falling fast and I knew it. Get a grip, Daisy. Remember what happened last time? I stole another glance at Luigi, and he smiled at me again. This time I smiled back before refocusing my attention on my meal. Luigi isn't Waluigi. You can trust him. He would never hurt you. I rubbed my hurt ankle with my good foot. Not on purpose, anyway… I took in a deep breath and continued eating.

"Is something wrong, Daisy?"

Luigi pulled my attention away from my thoughts as I realized everyone was staring at me. I blushed and nodded. "Y-yeah… I'm fine."

Peach frowned. "Are you sure?"

I nodded again. "Yes, thank you. I'm alright." I went back to eating, and eventually, so did everyone else. But Waluigi kept making his way back into my mind. I suddenly lost my appetite. I stood up, then grabbed my crutches and looked at Peach. "I'm going to wait outside. Meet me out there when you're ready. But don't feel rushed. I don't mind waiting." Then I made my awkward way to the door and sat outside on the doorstep.

I sighed and covered my face with my hands. I needed to calm down. But every time I thought about Waluigi, I started falling apart inside.

"Hey, Daisy?"

I didn't bother looking up. "Hm?"

Luigi sat down beside me. "Are you alright?"

I inhaled deeply and nodded. "I will be."

He gently touched my arm. "What's wrong?"

I sighed and lowered my hands. "I just… started thinking about Waluigi…"

Luigi studied me for a second, then stood up. I looked down, knowing how much I must've offended him when I told him that. I was such a terrible person. He would probably go back inside and never speak to me again. After all, how could he be expected to be interested in someone who thought about Waluigi?

To my surprise, when I looked up, he was holding my crutches. "Here," he said. I took them and stood up. "Come on, let's go." He started walking away.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I tried to catch up to where he was.

Luigi noticed that I was having trouble keeping up and slowed down. "There's a park pretty close to my house, right within walking distance. It's a nice place to watch the sunset. I realize walking might be hard for you, though, so just let me know if you need help."

I grinned and followed him. "I think I'll be alright."

He smiled back at me. "I thought you might want just want to relax, away from everyone. I also thought it might be nice to just hang out alone. Y'know?"

I nodded. "Yup! Sounds fun!" Sounds perfect, actually, I mentally sighed.

We soon reached the park, and Luigi led me to a bench with a beautiful view of the sun setting over a large duck pond. He took my crutches and helped me to sit down. I smiled. "Thanks, Luigi."

He propped the crutches up against the side of the bench and sat down beside me. "No problem. It's the least I could do, considering it was my fault…"

I shrugged. "It's not like you tripped me. And, who cares? It doesn't matter anymore. It's broken, and now it's healing. That's all that matters."

He smiled at me, and I smiled back. "So…" I said, feeling myself start to blush, "did you really mean what you said earlier?"

Luigi blushed as well. "Y-you mean when I said that I-I'm in love with you?" I nodded. "O-oh… Well, of course I meant it, I-I mean, I wouldn't say it of I didn't mean it, b-because that would be kinda cruel, making you think I was in l-love with you, and I wasn't, but I-I-I am, I just-"

"Luigi?"

"Y-yes?" Luigi asked, his face a deep shade of red. He seemed to be having trouble looking at me.

I slowly took his hand, knowing my face had to be pretty red, too. I inhaled slowly and closed my eyes for a second, silently reassuring myself. What's the worst that could happen? I already know he loves me. So why am I so nervous? I shouldn't be. It'll be alright. Just… do it. I opened my eyes, and Luigi was still staring at me. I smiled a little.

"Luigi… I-love-you,-too." I quickly looked away.

It seemed like an eternity before Luigi responded. "R-really?"

I nodded, then looked back at him. He was staring at me. "Y-yeah…"

Luigi's face turned an even deeper shade of red, then he took my hand and smiled a little. I felt the color of my face match his as I smiled back. Then, feeling embarrassed and self-conscious, I looked away, focusing my attention to the sunset, which was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen in my life.

"The sunset's pretty…" Luigi said slowly, as his face began to turn even redder, "but not as pretty as you."

I looked back at him. That was the sweetest thing anybody had ever said to me.

Before I knew what was happening, my lips were against his.

And his lips were against mine.

Our lips were against each other.

(Peach's PoV)

Daisy had just run out the door. I bit my lip as I watched. "Do you think I should go after her…?"

Luigi shook his head. "No, you stay here. I'll go."

Before I could protest, he had already run out the door after her. I looked at Mario. "I wonder what that was all about?"

Mario shrugged. "Who knows? I hope she's alright, though. But I'm sure Luigi will be able to comfort her."

I couldn't help but smile. "Ah, yes… Don't you think they would make a great couple?"

Mario nodded. "Of course. They're probably soul mates." He smiled at me. "Just like us."

I felt my my cheeks become warm as I smiled back. "Do you really think that, Mario?"

He smiled more and nodded. "I do."

I felt myself grinning like an idiot. I knew I looked ridiculous, but I couldn't help it. Not that it mattered. Mario wouldn't judge me.

"You know I love that smile," Mario whispered, moving my hair behind my ear.

I blushed and grinned more. "Mario...stop joking around. We should clean up from dinner…"

Mario shook his head. "The mess will be here when we get back, I'm sure."

I gave him a quizzical look. "Bacl? Back from where?"

Mario took my hand and winked. "You'll see… Come on!"

I giggled and stood up, and he rushed me out the door, winking at me again.

If I'd known what was about to happen, I might've at least made myself look a little nicer.

(Luigi's PoV)

I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. Daisy loved me. She loved me. She loved me.

And she was kissing me. And I was kissing her. We were kissing each other.

Her lips were so soft, like an angel's.

She pulled back and stared at me. I pulled back and stared at her. We pulled back and stared at each other.

I only stared at her, speechless. She only stared at me, speechless. We only stared at each other, speechless.

She looked away, deep red. "I-I'm sorry...i-if you didn't want…"

"Hey, you're starting to sound like me," I found myself chuckling.

Daisy looked back at me and smiled. Then she started looking past me. "Is that Mario and Peach?"

I followed her gaze to the gaze to the bridge over the lake. It was a Thursday night, so the park was almost empty. Mario and Peach were the only ones on the bridge.

Mario was on one knee, as if making some grand romantic gesture. Haha, that's Mario, always joking around. I smiled as I thought about how my brother could never handle a serious moment.

Until Peach screamed "YES!" and jumped into his arms.

(Peach's PoV)

Mario held a tight grip on my hand as he pulled me through the park. He seemed so excited about something. I tried asking him about it, but he just kept saying, "You'll see," and lead me through the mostly deserted park, still lit by the remaining bit of evening light. Soon, we were at my favorite place in the world - the bridge over the lake. Nobody was there, besides us. I stared, breathless, at the sun setting over the clear lake, ducks and swans swimming carelessly across the water. It was unbelieveable.

"I wanted to take you somewhere nicer," Mario sighed, "but I couldn't think of anything, especially last-minute like this, and you like this place so much, so I thought I'd take you here-"

"For what?" Mario seemed to be in one of his rare serious moods. Either that, or one of his more common mock-serious moods. I wasn't a big fan of that type of mood, especially when it was mock-romance, but I had to admit, it could still make me laugh.

Mario took me by the hand and looked into my eyes. Then he got down on one knee, and reached for something in his pocket.

My heart pounded. I couldn't believe it. This isn't happening, I told myself. He's not going to pull out a ring. This is just a joke. He's just messing with me.

Mario pulled a little black box out of his pocket. I bit my lip nervously as he flipped open the top, exposing a beautiful ring with a large diamond. "Peach…" he whispered.

"Mario…" I sighed. I couldn't believe it was happening.

Mario smiled. "I love you, Peach."

I grinned. "I love you, too, Mario!"

"Peach… Will you marry me?" He was being serious. This was real. I couldn't believe it.

I stared at him. "Mario...YES!" I jumped into his arms. I couldn't believe it. He was being seriuos. He propsed to me. And I...I accepted. We were engaged. We were engaged! "Mario...WE'RE ENGAGED!"

He grinned. "Yes...yes we are." He kissed me quickly. "Now it's official. We'll always have each other...forever."

Epilogue - two years later

(Daisy's PoV)

Everyone had their happily ever after. Mario and Peach were married, Luigi and I were engaged, and nobody was miserable. It was a dream come true for everyone.

Luigi and I were celebrating our engagement. All of our friends were there. Peach smiled at me from across the room. I smiled back, then looked back at Luigi. He was staring at me again, the same way he always had, ever since the day we met. I felt that same grin take over my face, the same one that always had, every time I was with him, ever since we met.

The same one I knew Waluigi always hated.

Somehow, that made me love it even more.

"Can you believe I ever let him control my life?" I didn't say who. We both knew.

Luigi shook his head. "I never will. No clue why you would ever have trusted him."

I hugged him tightly. "If I hadn't been so scared of him, we would have gotten together so much sooner…"

He held me in his arms and kissed my forehead. "What's important is, we're together now."

I looked up at him. "I wish I had never fell for his tricks…" I sighed and looked down. "I believed him when he insulted me. That was my first mistake."

Well, did you guys like it? I hope so. Like I've said before, reviews are MUCH appreciated. Anyway, I guess this is goodbye...Unless you want to read my next story, Luigi and Daisy: Ten Years Later. Hope to see you there! Remember to leave reviews! Bye!
