Is This Good Bye, Luigi?

Chapter 2

NOTE: THERE IS SOME ASPECTS OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN THIS CHAPTER.

Mario was standing in his yard, kicking around a rock with his foot. He had been released from the hospital, all he had was a panic attack. He was waiting for Peach to pick him up. They were both going to Sarasaland to break the news of Luigi's death to Daisy.

Mario herd a car horn, so he walked over to his driveway and stall Peach sitting in the car waving her hand and beckoning for him to come on.

Peach opened the car door and stepped out so Mario could drive. She knew he liked to drive when they were going on a long trip.

"It's fine honey. You drive. The way I feel I would reck and kill us all!" The red clothed man sighed.

"Mario! I know what's going on! Your still blaming yourself for what happened! You can't go on like this! There was no way you could have known that you were hurting him!"

"Yea you get the idea. I can't go on." Mario spoke in a whisper.

The plumber was always so happy and cheerful. Peach thought to her self. I hope he doesn't stay like this forever, but there is no way he is ever going to be truly happy again. Peach got back in the drivers seat and Mario walked over to the passenger side and got in. As the princess was starting the car Mario started to silently weep with his head turned away from Peach. He was going to do it. Today. End his life and be with Luigi!

Peach turned her head and saw Mario shaking. She put her hand on his back and sweetly started to rub.

"You can't go on like this! Your a hero! You have too snap out of it!" Peach said as calmly as she could.

"Not without him!" He started to sob loudly now not trying to hide it anymore. Peach is there anyway he is still alive? Mr. L is out there somewhere is there a possibility Luigi is still in there?"

Peach didn't want to hurt him anymore. She knew that all that was left of Luigi was Mr. L, but she still said maybe.

"I will go get the tissues out of your suitcase for you." Peach opened the door and went to the back of the car, and lifted the truck open then opened the suitcase. What she saw made her heart sink all the way to the ground. Mario always packed Luigi's clothes for him when they were going on on trip, because Luigi would always sleep to late. When she opened Mario's luggage to get the tissues out she saw a green hat and shirt packed in his suitcase. There was a note inside the shirt that read 'I know your gone, but your still my brother, and I'm still going to help you pack. I know you're still with me even if I can't see you... sighed your bro..' As Peach was morning she herd someone trying too get into the Mario Bros. House.

"Mario!" Peach screamed!

Mario rushed out of the car up to Peach.

"I here someone on your porch! I think there trying to break in!"

"Who ever it is is going to pay!" Mario ran up to the house, and saw the intruder. Without thinking he jumped onto the man and pinned him down. Mario got a good look at the man. It was his bro! No it's Mr. L! Mario shook away the thought that it could possibly be his brother. Mario had his had on top of the wound and was punching down. Mr. L was crying in pain.

"Mario I came to help. Is it Bows..." her heart almost stoped when she saw Mario on top of his former brother. Peach ran over and pushed Mario aside, and helped Mr. L to his feet.

"Ouch oh my chest!" The man in green sit down on Mario's patio chair he had sitting on his porch. "Bro, why!" The man said.

Mario stood up. He was pretty angry mad at Peach for pushing him down, but now is not the time. "L what are you doing here! I thought you were off to find the Count who is most likely impossible to find!" Mario was in a fighting pose. "And don't call me bro! Your not my bro!"

"Mario! Behave yourself! It's ok!" Peach said in a clam voice, "Mr. L! Why have you came back!"

"Bec..Bec...Because I'm not Mr. L...". His voice shook with every word, "I'm Weegee, Brother. I'm Luigi..."

Mario's heart almost stopped. He started for a long moment then ran over to his brother knocking Peach out of the way. He buried his face into Luigi's shoulder and sobbed. He shook with pure happiness and joy as his brother embraced him. Mario and Luigi grabbed each other's shaking hand and held on tight. Both Bros never wanted to let go. To loose each other again.

"I'm so sorry Luigi! I hurt you again! I'm a horrible person! I can't do this anymore!" Mario was filled with grief. How could he continue to live if he knew he almost killed his brother!

Two weeks later Luigi was getting ready to go see Daisy is Sarasaland. He was in the bathroom fixing his hair and putting on his green jacket and sweater to go to the mall. It was now winter and the mushroom kingdom mall was bussing with everyone trying to get gifts for there loved ones. Mario was taking Luigi to the mall to buy a gift for Daisy, and Mario was picking up a gift for Peach and Luigi. Mario and Peaches anniversary was on Monday, the day Luigi was leaving for Sarasaland. Mario stood outside of the bathroom putting his jeans and red sweater on.

"Hey bro! Need any help!" Mario called. Luigi had told Mario to forget everything that happened. He was fine and Mario had nothing to worry about. Mario was still trying to do anything and everything he could for his younger bro. He made dinner every night, Helped patch up his wounds, and did all of the house work. Reasontaly Mario had been thinking about Blumiere and Tippi. He hoped they were happy. Living a care free life. Bowser hadn't tried to kidnap Peach in a while. He was to busy trying to get presents for his son Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr was a whinny little brat who always got what he wanted, and this Christmas he wanted a near impossible toy to find, a golden Thomas The Tank Engine toy. Mario picked up one when they first came out and he planed to mail it over to Koopa Castle, after all Bowser did save his Bros life!

"Weeg you a coming! I gotta go a lot of places today bro!" Mario yelled.

"Bro chill I'll be there in a minute!" Luigi yelled back.

Mario turned on his phone. He looked at his background. It was a picture of him and Luigi three years ago. They had just got home from the Beanbean Kingdom. In the photo Luigi's blue eyes sparkled. He was so proud of himself. His eyes were so innocent and care free, but now his eyes seemed like they had seen stuff a man shouldn't see, and every night Luigi would hive nightmares, he would sit up panting. Mario would get him some ice cold water, and comfort him. Luigi would never tell Mario about what he was dreaming. All he would say was it's not your fault.

Luigi walked out of the bathroom straightening out his trademark cap, fully dressed. His eyes still seemed to have lost the Luigi. They seemed to look deeper at things, more in depth. "Bro, lets go I gotta pick up Daisy's flower necklace!" He rushed outside.

Mario raced outside and pushed Luigi to the side playfully, "Hey Weegee! I wanted to leave thirty minutes ago, and now your the one wanting to hurry!"

Mario got in the car, and weighed for Luigi to get inside. After he got in they made there plans where to go. Mario drove to the Mushroom Kingdom post office and mailed the Thomas to Bowsers Castle. Then they heeded to the mall. Luigi was shaking. He hated being cold.

"Mmmarrio... can yyyouu turn up the heat bro?" Luigi shivered.

"Anything for my bro." Mario turned up the heat, even though he gets really hot when the heat is on.

As they where driving to the mall, Luigi noticed Mario was sweating. "Are you okay bro? If you want to turn the heat down you can..." Luigi spoke.

"No!" Mario said, "I do want you to be cold. I'm not going to. The heat stays on!"

They finally arrived at the mall. There first stop was the jewelry store. They passed through the food court, and Mario stopped and started at there favorite Italian restaurant.

"I will meet you at the store, I'm going go make reservations for us to eat after we go shopping! I got my phone, If I can't find you I will call ya."

"That sounds good bro!" Replied Luigi, "See ya in a bit!"

Mario walked up to the Toad who was taking reservations.

"I need seats for two please, for this afternoon at six thirty."

"Ahh! Are you and Peach having date night?" The Toad smirked.

"No just me and Luigi. Where shopping and where going to be starved after we shop."

"Ok! See you two this evening!"

"Alright Luigi, here's the necklace you ordered for Daisy. She should love it! Oh and take this for Mario. It's already paid for."

The Toad handed Luigi a heart shaped engraved necklace that read, 'Mario x Peach Forever' and a leather wallet with green fabric On the inside.

Luigi walked out of the store just as Mario was walking in, and they bumped straight into each other.

"Watch where you go bro!" Luigi joked with Mario. "Here is your stuff from the store." Luigi handed Mario his items.

"Here you go bro. The wallets for you. I know you lost yours since... well, you know..." Mario handed Luigi the wallet.

"Thanks bro, you always know just what I need."

They started walking down the mall. Luigi wanted to get Daisy some different perfume. As they were walking Luigi grabbed his chest and fell over. A wave of panic raced through the red plumbers body. Not again no please not again! Mario lifted Luigi's shirt up, the biggest, deepest gash was bleeding again.

"Mario! What's wrong? What happened?" Pleaded Luigi.

"Your stitches broke open. You should be fine. There is only one bleeding, you should be fine. There is an express care in the mall. I will take you there!" Mario's voice was as calm as he could muster, but his mind was racing.

He lifted Luigi off the ground and took his own hat off and put it on Luigi's cut, then he applied pressure. This made Luigi wince in pain.

"Shh, I will get you settled in, then I will run over to Toad Works and pick up some floral scented perfume for Daisy, ok?

"O...k" Luigi said weekly.

Mario was Luigi's cane and helped him stay stable. "Weeg everything going to be fine, It's not that bad this time." Mario was being super calm. He didn't want to make Luigi more nervous than he already was.

They finally arrived! Mario sit Luigi down on a chair gently "Hold my hat to the wound." He said, and make sure you apply pressure."

Mario told the Toad up front what happened, and they admittedly took Luigi to the back.

When Mario arrived back at the express care, Luigi was all ready siting outside weighing for him.

"What took you so long bro? All you went to get was Daisy's perfume." Luigi questioned.

"Are you ok!" Mario gave Luigi a big hug. "Bro speak are you ok!?"

"I guess I'm fine, but I cannot stop shaking. My nerves are so bad right now!"

Mario sighed. "Nothing was ever going to happen again like this to my bro. Are you still up for dinner? If so Peach wants to meet us here."

"Sure! I'm down! I'm also starved!" Luigi agreed.

Mario and Luigi where in the restaurant already. Luigi had ordered a meat ball sub extra sauce, extra onions, and no green peppers. Mario ordered Spaghetti, add meat balls, and a side of garlic bread.

"Mario, Luigi!" A female voice called there names.

"Peach!" Mario and Luigi both said in unison.

Luigi got up out of his seat beside Mario and let Peach sit beside him.

"What a gentleman!"

Luigi sat down on the opposite side of Mario and started to twist and pull on a straw paper.

"Weegee!" The Princess said, "How are you? How's your you know what doing?"

He began to answer, but saw Mario's eyes turned really depressed.

"Can we just not talk about it right now?" Luigi Asked. He pointed his finger over beside the bathroom, and Peach knew what he wanted her to do.

"Excuse me Mario, but I have to go to the bathroom. I will be back in a minute." Peach Started to walk over to the restroom area.

"I have to as well!" Luigi got out of his seat rather quickly, and grabbed his chest in pain.

Mario's eyes lit up ready for action.

"I'm fine bro!" Luigi told his brother "I just got up two fast."

Luigi walked over to the bathroom and began to talk about how Mario still blamed himself for Luigi's painful deep cuts.

"It was that Jester basterd!" Luigi said, "Well I just wanted to catch you up without Mario knowing, our food should be here."

Mario and Luigi got home after a big meal. They were stuffed. After they brunched there teeth they watched a movie. During the movie Luigi complained about his chest on multiple accusations, but said it was nothing. They beckoned each other goodnight. The red plumber found it hard to sleep that night, but he finally doses of into a deep deep sleep.

Mario woke up. He was starved as always. He walked down the hallway, and knocked on Luigi's door.

"Hey Weeg, I was thinking for breakfast we could try..."

Mario cracked the door opened.

"No!"

Mario ran over to his brothers bed, the sheets were covered in blood! There was no Luigi. A stone dropped in Mario's soul. He felt his insides twist and turn in guilt. He saw a trail of blood on the floor. It led into the bathroom. Mario opened the bathroom door. Luigi was lying face first on the bathroom floor.

"Bro!" Mario ran over to Luigi to check for a pulse, there was no pulse.

Mario fell to the floor over his brother. "What the hell is wrong with that sick jester!" Mario sobbed, "How could I have let this happen! My Luigi, So sweet so helpless sometimes, so my brother!" Mario started slapping himself in the face. He ran into the kitchen and got a knife and started cutting himself all along his wrist drawing all kinds of blood. He opens there medication cabinet and began taking all of the pills he could find. He started feeling light headed, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, and hit his head on the floor causing everything to go black.
