Author's Note: I decide to write a fanfic about this couple mainly due to the lack there of. There are a lot of rare pairing that I could write about but this one really caught my eye. In the end, I hope this story make some people more interested in this couple at least.

Chapter 1:
Girl Troubles

...
The sun had risen and hung itself in the sky over the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom. Its soft morning rays gleamed off the green field just east from the Kingdom. Lying on that luscious green grass was a familiar young man dress in green and blue.
Luigi laid under the comfortable shade of a tree; his mind wondering over his thoughts. The princess was safe for the time being so both he and his older brother Mario had some times to themselves. But it wasn't their latest adventure that buzzes through his head. It was the recent relationships that started over the past year.
After years of rescuing her numerously from the evil Koopa King Bowser, Mario had finally worked up the courage to ask Princess Peach out on a date. News about their hook up traveled fast and soon they were the main talk around the Kingdom.
Luigi sighed as he thought about his recent love relationship with a certain dessert flower princess. Or (in his case) lack thereof…
About three months after Mario originally had asked Peach out, Luigi had just barely come up with enough courage of his own to ask Princess Daisy out. From there, everything was fine. Their popularity wasn't as big as Mario's and Peach's, but that didn't matter to him. Just when he thought everything in his life was perfect, something went wrong.
Two months after they started dating, Daisy broke it off. Her reason...her duties as a princess was just too overwhelming for her to maintain a relationship at the moment. You couldn't imagine how depress Luigi was after that. Mario and Peach tried to cheer him up, but their ongoing relationship just remained him too much of his failed one.
Eventually, he did start to get better. He was leaving his room again and smiling every so often, even if it was only the slightest. He was slowly, but surely getting over it until one day, a month after the break-up, Daisy come to the Mushroom Kingdom for another visit.
She came over to the house and requested to speak with him. Once they were alone, Daisy talked and apologizes, stating that she was wrong about her decision and wanted to get back together. Luigi was more than happy to take her back and soon the two were a couple again... for the next three months.
After that, Daisy broke it off again and Luigi went back to a state of depression. The poor plumber... he was heartbroken for weeks. That is until Daisy came by again and requested that they get back together...again.
For the past year, their relationship has been like a light switch - on and off, with Luigi turning it on and Daisy turning it off. Every with few weeks or so, Daisy will always come up with some excuse to break the relationship off which will cause Luigi to be sad and gloomy for days on end. Weeks later, she could come by looking all apologetic and ask to get back together - which they do.
Each time that had happened, Luigi has always welcome her back with open arms full of understanding and forgiveness. But recently, he has been feeling more and more reluctant on taking her back with arms full of uncertain and impatience.
When he first asked Daisy out, he wasn't hoping for a flickering, short-term relationship but a normal long term one. However, Daisy seems to have other ideas.
He sighs; his mind filled with doubt. Maybe… it was his fault. Maybe he was asking for too much. Maybe he wasn't a good boyfriend. Maybe he wasn't cut out for a relationship…
Luigi was brought out of his depressing thoughts of maybes' by the sound of a bush rustling behind him. He quickly got up and stood in attention, his body shaking slightly.
"C-Come on out, I know you're there" he called out.
The bush shook some more which caused Luigi to become more nervous. Finally, the figure started emerged from hiding.
"Well, nothing get pass you, uh plumber."
The figure popped her pink bow out from behind the bush to reveal herself as one of Bowser's Koopalings.
"Wendy?" Luigi questioned; a bit surprise. "W-What are you doing here? What's Bowser's up to this time?"
Wendy scowled and glared at the green plumber. "Hey who do you think you're talking to anyways? I'm King Dad's little princess, Wendy O. Koopa, one of the seven royal koopalings of this castle and I am to be treated with respect!"
Luigi didn't drop his stance. Wendy crosses her arms in front of her chest. "If you must know, I have no idea on what's Daddy planning. I left the castle to get away from my brothers. They're driving me crazy."
Luigi watched her cautiously as she walked over to the tree and sat down in the shade. She sighed tiredly and looked back at the green bro watching her. "Well, what are you looking at?"
Luigi frowned. "I'm not falling for your tricks."
Wendy snorted. "What trick? In case you haven't notice, I'm just sitting here trying to relax. You're the one who's ready for a fight." She stretch and lend back against the tree. "Besides, if I wanted to attack you, wouldn't I have done it when you were still on the ground?"
Luigi thought about for a moment and find her statement true. The two stay like that for several minutes. Once he was sure the koopa wasn't going to attack him, he sat back done on the ground, but still kept his guard up.
The two enemies sat near each other in silence, enjoying the crisp morning air in an unlikely peace. After about twenty minutes of that silence, Wendy had gotten bored and tries to occupy herself with the person a few feet away from her.
"So…" she started. "How's that princess girlfriend of yours?"
Luigi wasn't too surprise that the pink koopa knew about this recent relationship. In fact, everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom knew about his constantly failing relationship. He sighed heavily.
"She dumped you again, didn't she?"
Luigi nodded grimly.
"Can't say I'm surprise; that girl can't seem to make up her mind. I mean it's simple; do you want a boyfriend or not? If not, you don't keep running back and forth to the same guy and making up excuses on why you shouldn't be together."
Luigi silently agree with her.
"Of course I been through a few boyfriends of my own," she continues. "Some better than others, but they all didn't really last. About two years was my longest one."
Luigi silently envy her. He wished his relationship lasted that long.
"What about you?"
Luigi blinked at the unsuspecting question. He turned to her. "W-What?"
She places her hands on her hips in annoyance. "Having you been listening to a word I said? I asked you how long were your longest relationship?"
Luigi blinked at the question, not expecting her to ask such a thing. After a few seconds, he answers, "About four months; I haven't dated anyone other than Daisy before."
"So she's your first time girlfriend uh? Uhm, figures, it explains why you're so clueless."
Luigi frowned when she said that.
"Don't look at me like that. She maybe the one who keeps breaking it off, but you're the one who keeps taking her back. I mean, seriously, ever thought about finding someone else."
Luigi looked down on the ground. He ponder on what she just said and found her statement to be true. Even if Daisy keeps breaking up with him, he could stop taking her back. However, finding himself a girlfriend was never his strong suit and was nearly impossible in his point of view. It was just plain luck that Daisy had said 'yes' in the first place and being the kind-hearted person he was, he couldn't just say 'no' to the girl he loves.
Love…
He chuckled dryly. He's been rethinking its meaning a lot lately. Did he really love Daisy? In the beginning, he would have answered that question in a heartbeat. But now, he wasn't so sure...
