Here's another one! I can't get on the computer often, so updates are gonna be kinda sporadic. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

"...So after that, we hiked out of Dark Land and Peach brought us here." Luigi gestured to the giant, white castle behind him. "Then Toadsworth and the other retainers deemed us heroes. They gave us a house, money, and in return we keep Peach safe. It's different from New York, but I really like it."

Daisy smirked at him affectionately. "I can't believe you never told me that story."

"I can't either," Luigi admitted. He'd only known Daisy for about six months, but they'd grown close very quickly. They'd gone for regular walks on the castle grounds like they were doing then almost every other day.

When he and Mario first came to this land, Luigi was sure he would never be happy again. He had left everything he'd known, everything he'd cared about back in Brooklyn. Sometimes he still thought of their old plumbing shop. Old, abandoned, layers of dust. He wondered if anyone bought that space and turned it into something else. What had happened to all their clothes, furniture, and belongings? He supposed they had been sent to thrift stores, or else someone had broken in and stolen all of it. Most of their family was long dead, so there was nobody to take care of their affairs. He could only hope that his Star Wars figurines had gone to a good home.

Whenever he got hung up on his old life, he had to compare it to the one he had now. Living in mystical land, having superpowers, being happy... All the trouble that came along with it was worth it. Especially if he could have Daisy.

Daisy broke the comfortable silence. "Do you ever miss living in New York?"

Luigi smiled. Then he looked at her, soaking in the reality that he was here, with her, and said, "No."
