Author's Note: I made a very small change in the last chapter. Wendy's best friend/rival is now named Pompey and we will be seeing her in the next chapter.

Enjoy :)

Chapter 3:
Koopa Changes
...
...
Luigi was already within Toad Town when he had a few outfits he could wear in mind. Although, he did wish he had asked Wendy on what kind of party it was. He guessed that the party would be suited for Koopas' her age with loud music, pizza, and everything, but he could never be too sure. She was a princess after all; perhaps it will be more civilize than that.
He did wonder was kind of disguise Wendy will come up for him. He hopes it wasn't too outrageous or ridiculous. Regardless if he was popular or not, the last thing Luigi would want is to have somebody recognize him and suspect him of treason. Now Luigi was a lot of things, coward and scary-cat included, but a traitor isn't one of them. He and Wendy may be enemies, but this agreement between them has nothing to do with the two kingdoms. If anything it was just a small, harmless date.
Date…
Wait a minute…
He was going on a date!
Panic was quickly making its way through his body. Luigi always felt nervous when he went on a date with someone. He could do nothing but hope his clumsy, awkwardness won't ruin it.
When Luigi got back home, he was a bit downcast. When entered, he saw his brother, Mario, sitting on the couch with his favorite red mug in his hands. The red man looked up when the door open and greeted Luigi with a small sympathy smile.
"Hey there, bro; I heard what happened."
Luigi looked back at him with a raised eyebrow. How would Mario already know? He just set it up twenty minutes ago. Mario walked over and places a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I don't know if this will help or not, but don't worry so much about. It probably didn't mean that much anyways. Just enjoy the time you spent together and move on."
Luigi nodded. Mario's right. He shouldn't be thinking too hard on this. Whether it is a date or not, he should just enjoy his time with Wendy. And after that, everything will go back to the way they were…simple.
"Thanks Mario."
Mario nodded and gave him a comforting hug. Luigi returned the hug, grateful for his brother's advice.
"I'm sorry about Daisy, but I'm sure you'll get over it." He said.
'Daisy?' Luigi frowned in confusion before realizing what exactly his brother was taking about. 'Oh right... I thought he was talking Wendy. Oh well, I'm sure it counts for this situation as well.'
"Uhm, yeah, you're probably right." Luigi said as he broke out of the hug. "Thanks Mario. I'll be in my room if you need me."
Mario nodded and watched him go up the stairs. Once he was out of sight, he sighs and sat back down on the couch. Believe it or not, he too was getting tired with Daisy's constant breakups. At first, he thought the two would be happy with each other. But now Daisy's immature behavior was proving him wrong. In the end, he could only hope Luigi's past relationship with Daisy wouldn't discourage him to find someone else.
...
The day went by fairly quick at the Mario's house. Around mid afternoon, Mario left to visit Princess Peach leaving Luigi alone in their house. The green plumber spent the day doing what he usually do when his brother's gone; clean the house, doing some shopping, work on his small garden...
He settled with cleaning the house. When six o'clock started approaching, he finish up whatever he was going and started getting ready for his date with Wendy tonight. He went in his room and set up the clothes he was going to wear. After showering and dressing, he had on a different green long-sleeve shirt with a black vest and a black tie, a dark jean pants, and the same brown shoes.
Luigi look at his reflection through the mirror, nodding in approval. After combing his hair, he reached over to grab his hat when he decided against it. He stole a glance at the time.
6:15
'I better get going or else I'm going to be late.'
We all know Wendy has a quick temper, especially when it comes to small things. Grabbing a few things and leaving a note for Mario, Luigi made it outside the house and headed for the meeting spot.
...
Wendy was already at the meeting spot, impatiently waiting for Luigi to show up. She too had dress up, wearing a small blue dress that hangs over one shoulder and reach down to her knees. She still had her golden brackets around her wrist but she had replaced her pink bow with a blue colored one and added a matching blue purse.
"Grah, where is he?" she said "He should have been here by now"
The sun was starting to set over the horizon and it's only been five minutes past the time they were suppose to meet. Regardless, Wendy was not pleases at all. At one point she thought the green plumber wasn't going to show up. However, her worries were soon dissolved at the sight of the green-clad man running towards her.
"There he is," she said, sighing in relief.
Once Luigi had made it next to her, she hardens and glared at him. "Where have you been? You were supposed to meet at six thirty."
Luigi frowned. "Sorry, I guess I lost track of time. But I'm here now."
She 'humph' and look over the plumber's outfit. She nodded in approval. She must admit the younger Mario clean himself up quite nice.
"That doesn't matter now." She said. "We'll have to start heading to the party soon." She opened up her purse and pull out her wand. "Hold still..."
Luigi got a bit on the defensive. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to give you a different appearance to better disguise you." she replies. "Now hold still, we haven't gotten all day."
Luigi was a bit reluctant about the idea but manages to stand still. Wendy waved her wand around and pointed it towards the plumber. He was then engulfed in a bright light. Luigi gasped in surprise and closed his eyes. He felt a tingly sensation in his body, like he was going through a change of some sort.
When the light dimmed, Luigi slowly opened his eyes. Wendy was looking at him with a surprise look on her face.
"W-What?" he said. "Why… are you looking at me like that? And…what was that light?"
"That was my wand transforming you into something more…appealing for the party." Wendy smirked. "And I got to say, it worked better than I thought."
Luigi rubbed the back of his head. He definitely felt…different than what he was a few moments ago. He felt something heavy against his back and something else along his backside. He stared down to his feet and notices something different about them. They were bigger than he remembered and his legs were shorter too. He frowned and stared at his hand. He gasped at the sight of it.
His hand… It was yellow with three fingers, a thump, and sharp claws. He drew in his other hand and paled when he saw the same result. He then stood up straight and investigated the rest of himself.
No wonder he felt different; his whole body had changed. He looked behind him to see a green shell attached to his back and a small sprout sticking out from his behind. He turned back to Wendy with a grieving look on his face as he mumbled,
"I'm a Koopa."

Ending Note:
I went online and saw the episode 'The Beauty of Kootie Pie'. In the show (and in the game) they use magic wands to transform each other and other people into things like animals, humans, and even a Koopa.
RandomJunk13 asked if Mr. L is going to be in the story, 'Era of Darkness' (or 'The Dark Ages', I haven't decided on the title yet). So far all I can say is no. However, the story is still just an idea so changes could be made. I have started an outline, but it's proving to be too long and I discourage myself from writing really long stories (otherwise I'll get bored of it and leave it as a discontinue) so I plan on rewrite it.
I still don't have a complete solid plot which is a problem and most of my time is or will be taken up by other things so I might not be able to put much writing and thought into it. But, it is one of the top five stories I do want to work on so there's a 60-40 percent chance that it will be posted up in the future.
