Much to Daisy and Peach's surprise, Luigi wasn't having any trouble setting a steady pace for them towards the Beanbean Kingdom. She put her mustache back on though when they reached the border. The girls were going to argue on the fact that she kept doing it, but the encounter with the border patrol shut them up. Luigi explained that she needed to go through the Beanbean Kingdom to the two Hammer Brothers who were the guards. The group showed their passports, and just to satisfy the brothers, Luigi did a few jumps, one of which was accidently better than what anyone but her brother knew she was capable of, ending up with her managing a flip and landing correctly.

As they made it through the Stardust Fields, the group had a brisk encounter with the Starshade Bros. who were more than happy to teach the cousins how to use "Bros. Moves" so they could better aid Luigi in his plight to rescue his brother. Peach had taken on the "Red" skill set, as she was the shorter of the cousins, while Daisy had the higher jump. Thankfully, they didn't have much trouble the rest of the way down to the main kingdom area, past Hoo-hoo village and all that, but… Luigi felt her heart get heavier and heavier. Her fears were eating at her, and nothing the princesses said helped her.

When the trio finally found themselves at the back of Beanbean Castle, Luigi started to dig around her suitcase for something. "What are you looking for?" Peach asked as she sat down on a nearby rock as ladylike as she could. She was not used to being included in such adventures, and without Mario, Luigi tended to seem faster.

"I was a-given a rose by Prince Peasley, and before either of you a-say anything, it was so that we could get into the castle without much trouble. Hehe, Mario was quite a-surprised when barely anyone in this kingdom knew who he was, heh. We wouldn't have even gotten near Queen Bean without the…, ah, there you are!" She grinned as she pulled out a yellow rose that had been dried and placed in a bookmark. It sparkled as though covered in glitter, and was as yellow as the sun, or Peasley's hair. "Still my a-favorite bookmark." Luigi murmured to herself as she closed the suitcase and pocketed the bookmark. "Hopefully we'll be able to see the Prince and the Queen without trouble and ask if they've seen anything strange go on."

"But Luigi… there might be a problem with your plan." Daisy interrupted as she thought about this, while also wondering who these people were. She went on adventures with the "Brothers" even less than Peach did.

"Oh yeah? What?" Luigi looked over at the orange princess with calculating blue eyes as she tried to figure out what she had missed.

"Prince Peasley's a boy… so…"

"So you think he might have been put to sleep, yeah?"

"Yeah…"

Luigi shrugged. "Doesn't matter, we only need to ask someone, and the Queen and Lady Lima are both girls." Luigi then adjusted her mustache and started to lead the girls around towards the front where Beanbean town was. "Come on, let's a-go!"

Upon reaching the town, they found most of the Beans were asleep. The few females were busy working, including the two store clerks, from which Luigi purchased and sold some items that they had gotten along the way. No one questioned why he hadn't been affected, as for all they knew, Luigi had gotten his head stuck in a fishbowl while it was happening.

Luigi looked down at the sleeping guards at their posts and sighed as she shook her head and kept walking. Princess Daisy and Princess Peach were slightly more nervous to follow the Green plumber into the Castle. It was dark, and far to quiet for their liking. Luigi couldn't handle the silence for too long though, as it was starting to remind her of the mansions, only no Boos, stars she hoped there were no Boos here.

"Queen Bean? Lady Lima? Are ya here? It's a-me, Luigi…" then she slapped her face. "I say as though anyone is a-gonna remember me…"

"We remember you." Daisy points out. Peach nods.

Luigi rolls her eyes. "You remember me only because my brother had me with him each time we were introduced, Daisy. And as for you, Peach, I'm only remembered by you because Mario always needs me ta bring him home after your-a- parties." Peach blushed as she realized that Luigi was partially right.

"Not every party…" She also remembered him because there were sometimes when Mario never seemed to leave Luigi's side, or was it the other way around? Either way, there were a few missions where the two were practically glued together in their need to keep each other safe. This usually happened after Mario had gotten hurt badly on a previous mission.

"Master Luigi?" A timid old lady's voice called out. The trio made their way towards it and found, much to their relief, Lady Lima and Queen Bean! Lady Lima came forth to greet the trio. "Oh, thank goodness, help has arrived!" She looked around though as her queen kept weeping for some reason. "But… where is Master Mario? No offense, but last time you both seemed inseparable… and how did you beat the gas?"

Luigi winced and then sighed. "Mario was captured, this is Princess Daisy, and I'm sure you remember Princess Peach. We're on a mission to stop someone named Aphrodite who kidnapped him, and seems to have gassed the lands to make all men fall asleep… I… um…" Luigi pretended to be embarrassed as she thought up a lie. "I was busy fixing some pipes back home when I heard about what happened. Apparently, the gas didn't reach inside my house, or at least down into the piping."

"Ah, well alright then." Lady Lima was too stressed to question such a thing. "As you probably guessed, the fiend, Aphrodite, has come across our land and stole off with one of our great treasures, the fabled rose known as the Lady of Love! That golden flower is said to be a source of great power that can only be awakened in the hands of a purely beautiful maiden."

Luigi had to think on this. "How does a flower judge beauty?"

"We aren't sure, the flower itself only started to bloom once more after Prince Peasley was born," The queen's sobs became worse, causing Lady Lima to flinch before continuing. "and even still, it never fully bloomed."

"My p…poor… poor boy…waaahhhh!" The queen's harsh cries were only interrupted by a slight hissing of a sad looking viper that seemed to be ugly, while trying to look beautiful. It was an ugly green with a yellow top on its head that seemed pale, sickly, and the fangs seemed to be sharpened. "T…that brute… that… that…monster… she…she… WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Luigi hated to see people cry, especially when there was enough trouble. "Um…"

"Prince Peasley was turned into a snake as his 'Natural Beauty' made Aphrodite quite jealous. We don't know what to do to turn him back to normal… so…" Lady Lima looked at the saddened serpent.

"Oh, is that all." Luigi said, much to the surprise of the ladies in the room, and the snake. "Not the first time I've dealt with this sort of thing." She shrugged as she pulled out her suitcase and started to look through it. "Let's see if this will work…" She pulled out a refreshing herb.

Lady Lima frowned. "Don't you think we already tried that?"

"Meh, maybe, but have you tried one that's influenced by magic?"

"MAGIC!" The two princesses and the Lady gasped in surprise. The Refreshing Herb was indeed sparkling as though imbued with magic.

"Yeah, do you know how many times we've fought Kamek or one of the Koopalings only for them to lose track of their wand for a week? My brother and I don't like to steal, so what we do is drain it of magic and then send it back to them. I usually am in charge of this because Mario's not so good at using magic items. I mainly use it in my garden or when I need the chores to get done faster." Luigi explained calmly as she walked over to the snake with the herb. "Don't bite me, just the herb." Her tone was serious, her sky blue eyes seemed to bore into the snake.

The snake nodded once, and lightly took the herb from the plumber's hand. Luigi then backed off and indicated for the princesses to turn around as a sudden light started to form around the prince. Luigi had also turned around, and was relieved to find out she was right to do so, as the three girls heard Lady Lima and Queen Bean gasp. "Turn around!" Lady Lima shrieked before realizing the three guests had already done so.

After a few minutes, Prince Peasley was fully dressed, and surprisingly still awake, and completely back to normal. Apparently, the herb had made him immune to the gas as well. Queen Bean was hugging her son tightly as the two Princesses were staring down Luigi, trying to figure out why they hadn't known about the magic staffs they collected before.

Luigi was starting to get her trademark nervous streak to show. She didn't like having attention on her, especially the attention of the two princesses that she was with. "W…what?"

"How did you know that would work?" Peach asked.

At that, Luigi looked at her like she was crazy. "I didn't know it would work, I just hoped it would work! Ordinarily when this happens, Mario and I have to go deal with the Koopa that cast the spell, but since this wasn't done by a Koopa, I had to think of something else before we could move on… besides, Cackletta turned him into some sort of dinosaur beast last time, and we had to defeat him before he turned back to normal… I didn't think that was an appropriate thing to do this time since we knew he had been turned into the snake…" Luigi was blushing, her face going red, and her fake mustache twitching as though it were real, reminding the princesses about how long the girl had been pretending to be a boy, and even though they knew she was a girl, she was still a boy in their minds unless that mustache was off.

Peasley made his way over to the strange trio, Luigi was still blushing, and now so was Daisy as she got a good look at him. "Ah, many thanks, my green mustachioed friend. I feared I would look so hideous forever." He shook Luigi's hand as the plumber smirked. "What brings you to our fair kingdom in these trouble times anyway?"

Luigi raised a brow as she stopped blushing. 'Didn't he hear me? Or did being a snake mess with his hearing?' She sighed. "My brother got captured by Aphrodite, and we're passing through to find him, and stop all this madness." She then indicated to the princesses. "You remember Princess Peach, I'm sure, and this is her cousin, Princess Daisy."

"A pleasure," Prince Peasley, ever the classy prince, kissed both girl's hands like a gentleman.

Luigi sighed as she mentally wished someone would do that for her, just once. Then again, that would require her to be known as a female, and for her to look like a woman, rather than have a strong flat build like a teenage male.

Prince Peasley then turned his attention back to Luigi. "I wish to accompany you and the princesses on your quest, Luigi." Luigi raised a brow, somewhat surprised. True, the Prince was one to get in on the fight and defend his kingdom himself, which Luigi admired, but after being transformed back to normal, surely he'd rather not risk it again, wouldn't he? "I can not let Aphrodite discover the power of the Lady of Love rose, not to mention, I must help save my kingdom from her."

Luigi thought about this, having two royals to worry about was one thing, but a third? "Mama Mia, I'm in over my head with this…" She muttered while shaking her head. "If the Queen allows it, then I have no choice. This isn't going to be a picnic though." She warned, her voice actually harsher. "I know Princess Peach can handle herself, as she went and saved Mario and myself once before when Bowser caught us unaware. Princess Daisy is no push over either, and has proven herself over and over in multiple situations. I know you are brave, but I don't know if you can keep up with us." Luigi pointed out, surprising those around her. Luigi was usually shy, nervous, and never one to speak up or speak her mind. At this point though, she was saddled with two princesses, and she needed to save her brother, and possibly the world, AGAIN! She didn't need to babysit a prince as well.
