Is This Good Bye, Luigi?

Chapter 4

WARNING! - CHAPTER CONTAINS MARIO x DAISY CONTENT, BUT NOTHING TO OVER THE TOP!

Luigi opened his eyes. It was very dark, to dark. He tried to move, but his mussels felt tight, limp, and weak. He fell back down as his memory came flooding back to him in a instant. Mario his bro was so worried about him! He had to get back to him! The green clothed hero had new found energy thinking about his older brother, Mario was always there for him when he needed him. Where was he now? was so scared and miserable, he began to sweat.

"Mario! Bro! Were are you! I'm scared" Luigi began to cry. His body was shaking all over. He was in so much pain. Where was he even at? Was this some sort of torture.

"Well, Well, Well it seems that Weegee finally woke up from his nap like a sleeping toddler in daycare." An unknown voice spoke.

"Mario! Is that you? I'm scared bro. Help!" Luigi squirmed helplessly on the ground.

"He's not coming. You see your in my care now. Like a helpless baby bear, ripped away from its parents and forced to do tricks." The unknown voice spoke again.

"Who are... you?" Luigi shook in fear, "What have you... done to my bro?" Every word shook, all the words seemed scrambled in his brain.

Suddenly the purple jester who ultimately portrayed Count Bleck appeared in front of Luigi.

"Yo..you!" Luigi's word overlapped, because of total fear.

"Yes It is me, are you glad you get to see me once again Mr. L?" Dimentio sneered.

"But... but your game ended! Luigi froze, "I was there! I was a part of you. My game almost ended to! I saw it happen!"

"Yes, yes, you are right about my death.

Apparently those pure hearts where just to strong, but your bro has yet to experience true suffering. You see his life will never be the same again. I have taken away the most important thing in his entire life. You!" Dimentio eyed Luigi, a smirk on his evil face. He snapped his fingers, and most of the darkness went away, Luigi knew where he was in a second. It looked like it was a cave, In the land of the spirits of evil, the Underwear. Then it hit Luigi, this was Dimentio's plan if he ended up failing. Luigi was dead. Gone from his bro forever!

"You see Luigi, Queen Jaydes left the Underwear forever to go live in the Overthere with Grambi. There pain from loosening Luvbi was to great, they started to live together. Jaydes was so depressed that she didn't even look at my background, before she put me in charge. I'm supposed to send the worthy to the Overthere, but that's never going to happen. Queen Jaydes may have been a nice queen, but I'm not going to be a nice king. You are supposed to go to the Overthere Luigi, but instead your going to be torched forever. Like a prisoner who killed someone. Yes, yes. I do believe that this is going to be fun for me, for now at least. Then Mario will have a chance. Your 'Bro' has been so depressed after he lost you, he even tried to kill himself once, and I'm sure he is going to do it again. He feels one hundred percent like it's his fault. I will have both of you at my disposal soon..."

"You Monster!" Luigi half cried, half screamed. With new found strength Luigi jumped. The highest he ever had, and landed on Dimentio. He didn't seem fazed.

"Your like a helpless puppy trying to bring down a robber. Well well, apparently you didn't know you couldn't hurt the leader of the Underwear. Your attacks are useless. It seems like my little pet needs a nice lesson in respecting his leader!" Dimentio shot a beam of light at Luigi, when it hit Luigi fell to the ground shaking madly, and bleeding all over, all while pictures of Mario trying to take his life flashed through his head. The pain was so intense. He felt num eveywere. He started to cry. His tears where pure blood when they came out. It made his eyes feel like they were on fire. His gut felt like they were twisting, pulling, and bleeding. His head fell as if thousands of men where beating it in with hammers. All while this was happening the worst part was playing out in his head, his bro was killing himself over and over and over in his mind, in all sorts of ways each more and more painful. He herd Dimentio's sinister laugh in the background. This was the most pain Luigi ever felt in his life.

It all finally stopped. Luigi's heat was pounding. He was limp. He couldn't feel anything at all on his body. He was crying, a gut wringing cry of pure pain and sorrow. Only a soulless being would put someone through that.

"Had enough, Green?" It was Dimentio, looking pleased with himself.

"Ye...yes, Dimentio... please make it stop..." Luigi mustered.

"From now on you will refer to me as master and do anything I tell you to do. When your brother gets here, I'm going to have you torcher each other. You can look each other in the eyes and watch each other suffer!" Dimentio laughed.

"No, please... leave Mario alone... master..." Pleaded Luigi.

"Hm I'm afraid I can't do that pet, but I can say hello to an old friend." Dimentio snapped his fingers and everything went black. The last thing he herd was Dimentio saying hello to Mr. L.

Luigi's funeral and wake plans were different than most, because usually the wake is before the funeral. However today was the wake, a day after the funeral. Only the people who knew Luigi the most Where coming, plus after that was the burial which happened right after the wake, and to top it all off Mario had a lot of pressure on him to make it special. The funeral was a way for all of those people who knew Luigi to pay there respects to him, and it wasn't that special. There was some flowers of course, but nothing extravagant. Mario, Peach, Daisy, Bowser, and possibly Tippi where coming to the wake and burial. After that that they were all going to have dinner at Mario's place. Everyone made bringing multiple dishes. Mario had already made slow roasted brisket and mushroom soup. He had yet to find out what everyone else was bringing. This was a way for everyone to calm down after this night of emotions.

Mario was washing his suit and dress pants when he herd the door bell ring. He just remembered that the green dress shirt he wore yesterday was Luigi's so he needed to go pick up a new one in his size.

"God! Is there anything else I forgot!" Mario could already tell it was going to be a stressful day. He walked up to his front door and looked through the peep hole. It was Peach! He was trying to forget about her right know. He had asked her to marry him, but she refused. Peach knew it was not in there best interests yet to do it now, with all the money they were forking out for Luigi's funeral. They wanted to make there wedding special. Even though Peach was the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, all she really did was sit in the castle while the toads who worked for her did the paper work and made new laws, and that the kingdom was at peace, Mario usually ended up doing after Peach got herself Kidnapped. What most people didn't know is Peach had her own house and she didn't even live in the castle, it was just her place of work. A wedding would be a lot of money. Plus Mario's emotions where not right, and he just wanted to marry Peach for cloture. He opened the door slowly looking down at his shoes.

"You don't have to be weird about this you know, If you want to forget it ever happened we can." Peach knew why he was acting weird. "Today's about Luigi, so don't worry about that. I know we will get married one day, Mario. I could not think of anyone to spend my life with besides you."

"You... really mean it?" Mario's face turned red.

"Of course I do." Peach said and gave Mario a warm comforting hug. She felt tears run down the back of her shirt and hugged tighter.

"How about this one?" Mario said when he came out of the fitting room wearing a green dress shirt that was a mile to big for him.

"Yea... no! I'm going to pass on that one. Peach said.

"You got to be kidding me!" This was the twelfth green shirt Mario had tried on. It was starting to where on him. He was burning up and to top it all of his hair was a mess. He would have to take another shower before Luigi's wake.

After several more shirts, Mario found the perfect one. With long sleeves, buttons, and most importantly it was green.

It was time. Mario and Peach had just arrived at the wake. They were the first ones there. Mario's eyes focused on the casket. It was green and had darker green ribbons around the edges of it.

"My... brother..." Mario whispered holding back tears.

"You don't have to see him... if you don't want to... If it's to hard he would understand..."

"No... No I have to... he is my bro! I have to say goodbye!" Mario started to recall the day he saw Luigi... dead in the bathroom. The day that Luigi was badly injured. The day that Mario had... hurt him... it was all to much for him.

Just then Daisy walked in holding a expensive looking pot of um well daisies. She sit them over beside the casket. When she was walking back she smirked at Mario, and winked. What was that all about Mario thought. Daisy went to stand next to Peach.

"Peach! It's been a while, It feels like it! Even though I saw you yesterday." Daisy said in a exited tone.

"Yea I guess..." answered Peach.

Daisy began to cry. "He's really gone! I didn't believe you! When you called and told me. I thought it was all a sick joke, I guess not! The last time I saw him... we got into a fight, and I said some things I should have not said. We made up on the phone, but I didn't even say goodbye!" Daisy was sobbing now. Hugging Peach as she did. Crying into her shoulder.

"Shh, Daisy! It will all be fine!" Peach and Daisy were close friends. They talked on the phone everyday, and would meet up and go shopping sometimes. It was a truly great best friend relationship. They had each other to get through this with.

Bowser had just walked in. "Hey Mario! I just got that Thomas you sent Jr for Christmas, I didn't get a chance to say thanks."

Ever since Bowser became the third hero of the prophecy he had been acting a lot different. Sometimes he would even call Mario just to chat. It was sort of like they became friends in a way. He had not kidnapped Peach in forever it seemed. That was one weighed lifted off Mario's shoulders.

Mario and Bowser chatted for a while as Peach and Daisy talked among themselves. When Mario told Bowser about his feelings, Bowser conferred him. Even as he cried Bowser helped him through it.

Tippi walked through the side door again just as she did yesterday. Mario told Bowser he was going to talk to Tippi for a while, go talk with Peach and Daisy if he wanted.

"Tippi! I missed you how have you been! How's the Count! How about Mimi is she okay! Is Mr. L ok..." Mario's happiness faded away when he talked about Mr. L.

He felt warm drops of tears an his chest. Tippi hugged him.

"It's ok. Everyone's ok. The Count and me are a lot happier than we used to be. We finally found each other. Castle Bleck is our home now, and everyone of us lives there together. Except Nastasia. She left to find true love. She had gotten quite attached to Blumiere, and I could say she loved him. It was to hard for her to stay, I assume." Tippi explained what happened after she and Blumiere disappeared. How have you been lately.

"Um fine I Guess, I'm just lonely and depressed..." answered Mario.

The Mario Tippi knew was gone. He used to be optimistic and always ready for an adventure, now he was a sad man who lost his only family.

"It was nice to see you again Tippi, but I'm going to go over and talk with Peach. See you later." Mario walked over to Peach, Daisy and Bowser.

An hour had passed, of everyone getting caught up on each other, now it was time to view the casket. Tippi chose not to, because she wasn't as close to Luigi as the rest of them. Mario's heart felt like it weighed a tone as he approached the casket. Peach grabbed his hand. She didn't say anything, but her eyes said it all, we can do it together.

Mario saw Luigi. His blue eyes became puffy and red, his heart sank and when it hit the bottom it broke into a million peaces.

Luigi was dressed in his uniform. His trademark cap still on his head. He looked... lifeless. This was all to much. Tears were leaking down out of his eyes. Peach held on tight. She was crying as well. Saying goodbye was hard. Daisy was shaking and crying. Regret was showing all along her face. Bowser had just walked up. He was crying to. He had known Luigi so long. All of there lives would be changed forever, Good Bye Luigi...

XXX

Everyone had left the room. Mario and Luigi where the only ones left. Mario needed this. His final words to his brother. The best person he had ever met.

Mario begun to speak, "Brother, dearest brother of mine. I know I left you out of my adventures a lot. I know you didn't always feel like you were wanted, but the reason I did all of this is because I didn't want to lose you. I didn't want something like this to happen to you. I don't know what I'm going to do without you. Life doesn't seem worth living now that you're gone. Bro I love you with all my heart. I tried to protect you. I wanted to keep you safe. I didn't mean for it to happen I just... don't want to lose you! Goodbye bro..." Mario fell to his knees hands in his palms breathing heavily and crying. Goodbye, Weegee...

It was cold outside. There was some snow outside. Daisy, Mario and Peach where watching the burial Toads lower Luigi's casket into the newly dug hole in the ground. Mario was tearing up, and Peach and Daisy where full blown crying. We will see you in the Afterlife my dear friend, brother and lover. Good bye.

XXX

After the grave was done, Mario walked up to the tombstone. It read 'Hear Lies, Luigi, The Most Brave And Selfless Person Ever To Walk The Earth. A Great Friend, Hero, And Most Importantly Brother. RIP. Mario started at the spot his brother was resting for a long while... not moving a mussel.

At dinner everyone was cheerful, even Mario. They talked, laughed and ate good food. The only thing weird about he dinner was Daisy. She starred at Mario all through dinner. Not even blinking. Just looking. The red clothed hero tried to say as far away from her as possible though. It was probably nothing, it was just his nerves. Right?

XXX

After everyone had left from dinner, Daisy asked if she could stay a little longer and talk to Mario about something. Mario agreed, maybe that's why she was acting weird. Mario and Daisy sit down on the couch together.

"So um Daisy. What did you want to talk about?" Mario asked cautiously.

"I just never knew how much you looked like Luigi." Daisy said in a seductive tone. She placed her hand on his stomach. "Especially in this green shirt." Her hand slid down onto his crotch.

Mario figured out what she was trying to do. "Daisy! I can't do this! Your my brothers love! I'm a committed man! We just can't do this!" Mario pleaded.

"I thought Peach rejected you! How did that make you feel? Sad and alone?" Daisy smirked.

"Yea, I do feel bad and lonely. This whole day has been rough on me and..."

Mario was cut off by Daisy when she climbed on top of him holding a finger to her mouth. "Shh! No one will ever have to know..."
