Its Luigi's time to shine...In Equestria?by Aaronwebber9ChaptersPrologue (Edited)Chapter 1 (Edited)Chapter 2 (Edited)Chaper 3Chapter 4: We have a problem.Prologue (Edited)Prologue After trekking through countless mansions Luigi stands before King Boo himself hoping to thwart his sinister Plans to take over the world and turning all his friends into paintings. "This is it, now or never" He said with as much confidence as he could muster. (Which is not much) King Boo started to launch his first attack by summoning giant spiked balls to the battlefield, he then did a ground pound launching the said balls into the air to drop on Luigi. Seeing this as an opportunity Luigi withdraws his flashlight in an attempt to stun King Boo. He succeeds, while stunned one of his own spiked balls drop on the King's head, revealing his weak point. "This is for my brother!" He said with gusto as he brought out his Poltergust 5000 and started to catch him once and for all. After a long and arduous battle he finally succeeds in the capture, he notices the King lost his crown in the struggle. He runs over to pick it up. "I did IT!" He beamed, he then begun to dance, as he was doing this a light flashes before his eyes. Everything around him goes white, he then heard something that made his blood run cold, laughter of none other than King Boo. "Where is Mario!" he growled. He is again met with more laughter from right behind. Shaking in fear as he started to turn around and before he could react everything went black as he fell down unconscious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was morning in Ponyville, Celestia's sun had just begun to rise to start the day. In the Golden Oaks Library there was a lavender unicorn mare still fast asleep in her bed. In a basket next to her bed laid a purple dragon. He was first to wake from his slumber remembering that he has morning chores like preparing breakfast. Reluctantly he got up and headed downstairs to start cooking. Smelling the alluring scent of breakfast being cooked Twilight Sparkle started to stir from her slumber, with a yawn and a stretch she gets up. Brushing her mane to her liking she started to trot downstairs, where she is greeted by her "Number 1 assistant" Spike. Morning Twi" He smiled at her, "I made you some hay-cakes with some orange juice for breakfast." Sitting down to his own breakfast made of pancakes with a little sapphire sprinkled on top. "Thanks Spike." She smiled to her assistant as she sat down to enjoy her breakfast. She was about to begin eating when she was interrupted by knocking on the door. "I wonder who that could be" she said. Spike just shrugged and replied "I'll get it Twi" he said as he got up. She smiled at him and started to dig into her breakfast. Spike made his way to the door, where he was greeted by a cream colored Pegasus mare. "Morning Fluttershy, what are you doing here so early in the morning." He asked her. "Um...Is Twilight up yet? If she is can you get her for me..I-If that's okay with you? She asked in a volume that almost couldn't be heard. "Sure she is in the kitchen eating breakfast, come in," he gestured for her to come in. "Oh...um thank you," she said with a soft smile. They made their way to the kitchen where Twilight was still eating her breakfast. "Oh Fluttershy, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Do you need something?" She asked the shy pegasus. The aforementioned pegasus stuttered a bit before replying. “Oh...Well..you...see...I was...feeding...my....animals..this...morning...I..heard...a...noise..coming...from..the...forest...I...thought..it..might...be...a......hurt...animal...when...I..went..to...check...I...found...somepony....in..a..green...hat...I...took...him...back...to...my...house...........but...he...hasn't....woken...up...yet...I...can't..figure...out...what's..wrong..with...him..so..I...was...wondering..if..you...could.......come...down...to...check...to...see...if...he...is....okay...if...that...is...alright...with...you?” Twilight took a moment to process this information before replying. "Of course." "Spike I'm going out for a bit, can you watch the library while I'm gone?" She called out the her assistant. He simply nodded. "Sure thing Twi, please be careful out there the Everfree is dangerous." She smiled to her assistant "Thanks Spike, I'll be back in a couple of hours," she said as she and fluttershy trotted out the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They made their way up to Fluttershy's cottage. As they made their way to the door Fluttershy turned around and said "Oh..I hope he'll be ok." She said as a couple of tears escaped her eyes. Twilight simply smiled at her friend "I'm sure he'll be fine let's go in and see if he is okay." She said trying to cheer her up. "Okay." she said as she opened up the door to find the aforementioned pony still out cold. Twilight looked to the pony and said "I don't think I've met this pony before. What an odd hat," she said with confusion in her voice as she lifted the hat with her magic to get a better look at it, revealing a horn on his forehead. "Oh he is a unicorn." she said surprised, returning the hat back on top of the pony's head. Just as she did the unknown unicorn started to stir. "Oh Fluttershy he is waking up!" She said at a volume startling the pegasus. "...Where am I?" He said as he poked up his head not noticing the two ponies standing in front of him. "Um...excuse me sir..I found you out cold in the forest this morning so I brought you back here…I hope it’s okay with you. "Forest?" He said still groggy. "Yes that's right are you okay?" She said hopeful that he is okay. "Yes thank you miss..." He turned around to see pony staring at him. "..sir are you alright" Twilight chimed in. 'Did that pony just talk!? "Yes just bit groggy, where am I?" "Oh...You were in the everfree forest when my friend found you out cold, Do you remember anything? Twilight asked hopeful for answers. "At the moment no I can't...OW my head is killing me." He tried to place his hand on his forehead but what he saw made his eyes as wide as dinner plates. He knew this wasn’t right. "Where are my hands!?" Twilight looked at him in confusion and said "Hands? Sir are you sure alright?" 'This is weird!' "Can I have a mirror?" Fluttershy spoke up "Oh..well sure. Can you hold on a second if it’s alright with you?" 'Talking Ponies I know I’m crazy now' " Thank you miss..." "Oh..um my name is..... Fluttershy" "I'm sorry didn't catch that." She said it again "Come again?" Twilight spoke up for her friend "Her name is Fluttershy, and my name is Twilight Sparkle. What is your name?" She asked with a soft smile. "My name is Luigi" They both looked at him with confusion. "That is a weird name, I never heard of anypony named Luigi,” Twilight said arching an eyebrow. Luigi was taken aback by this 'Anypony? What is she talking about?' A minute later Fluttershy returned with a mirror. "WHAT THE!" He said shocked as the image in the mirror was not him but a pony with green fur and a brown mane and tail. On his head was his signature hat along with his signature mustache and a picture of a mallet adorning his flank. "Luigi are you okay!?" Twilight said with concern. He did not hear her, his eyes went to the back of his head as he passed out and fell to the floor. Author's Note I'd appreciate a little constructive criticism.

"I-I-I'm not useless…you…wait?…who are you?" "What Brother…!?" "Hehehehehehehe!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Luigi, wake up! Are you alright?" Twilight said trying to rouse him back into consciousness. Luigi's eyes shot open "AAH!" He sprung his head up and he then started to shake his head in panic. After several minutes Luigi finally regained his bearings, during this time Fluttershy was hiding under her table shaking in fear at Luigi's outburst. 'Alright time to calm down, First of all where am I? What was I doing In a forest? Maybe these ponies can help shine some light(Ha!) on my situation.' There was an awkward silence as Twilight just stared at him with a worried expression on her face while Fluttershy was still shaking like a leaf under the table. Finally Luigi spoke up. "I'm sorry for the freak out, Its not everyday that you simply wake up in a forest as an entirely different species," he said while rubbing the back of his head with his hoof. Twilight tilted her head and arched an eyebrow in confusion "Wait a second, Entirely different species? Are you sure you’re alright?" 'Wait a second, hey I'm suppose to be the one asking the questions here.' "I'm sure I'm fine and yes from where I'm from (If I can remember where exactly')I'm what you would call a human…I think, with hands and feet and we are also bipedal." He said to the confused unicorn. Fluttershy finally poked her head out from under the table. "Um…excuse me but-" Twilight stared at Luigi like he was crazy "Human? Of all the books I read on the different species of animals in Equestria I have never come across any information on "Humans" she said intrigued on the possibly learning about a new species. "E-e-excuse…me," Fluttershy tried to speak up again. 'Never heard of a place like that before' "excuse me did you just say "In Equestria?” Is that where I am now?" He said with relief in his voice on finally getting some information on where in the world he was. Fluttershy spoke again "EXCUSE me!" Luigi and Twilight were both startled by Fluttershy's outburst. "Oh..I'm sorry…but can I ask you..what this is?" she said Pointing to a machine that laid on the floor. "I found this on your back when I found you in the forest…What is it? It looks like a vacuum cleaner?" Luigi now noticing the item in question got up and trotted up to it and read the label on the machine and it read "Poltergust 5000" 'I had this on my back? I can't figure it out now but I think this has something to do with why I am here in this "Equestria"place but for now…' "I-I-I don't now I can't remember at the moment. But I must say its a nice vacuüm, hehe." "Hmmm..Anyway…" Twilight said attempting to get back on subject. "You're saying you are not from Equestria? Then may I ask where you originally come from?" Luigi attempted to respond but couldn't come with an answer. "Oh, I'm from….I'm from….uh..I can't remember. Why can't I remember?!" He said as he began hyperventilating. "Please calm down! You won't be able to remember if you don't relax!" Twilight said with a look of concern. Fluttershy went back to her hiding place under the table. Luigi once again calmed down and spoke "You’re right, Okay, I have some questions for you two, but first can I get something to eat? I'm starved and can't remember the last time I ate. (literally)” Twilight smiled at him while Fluttershy came out from under the table once again. "Of course, who knows it might help jog your memory about where you’re from and how you got here even though I'm still skeptical about it.. Anyway what would you like to eat?" "Well I have a craving for some pizza, Any pizza places nearby?" He said hopeful. Fluttershy and Twilight looked at him again once again confused. "Um… 'Pizza'? Can you tell us what that is…If that's okay with you?" Luigi's left eye twitched a bit "No pizza…NOOOOOO!" Fluttershy recoiled at his reaction. "Pizza IS is an oven-baked, flattened round bread typically topped with a tomato sauce, cheese and various toppings. How can you NOT know what pizza is!?" Twilight taken aback by his reaction "Will you just calm down! No, we don't have this food called 'pizza' but if you'd like I'll take you to get some breakfast..ok? I'll pay of course." Luigi, not one to turn down a free meal simply nodded and replied "Alright thank you very much I appreciate it," he said as he was attempting to be polite. "It's no problem." Twilight assured. "Fluttershy would you like to come along with us?" "Oh…thanks but I think I'll stay here, I still need to finish feeding my animals…if that's okay with you?" Twilight nodded in confirmation to her friend "Alright Fluttershy, I'll see you later, take care. Come on Luigi, I know a good place to get some food, follow me." "Okey dokey, just one second." He said as he walked up to Fluttershy who backed up a bit as he approached. "I thank you for your kindness and for rescuing me while I was unconscious." Luigi said with sincerity as he smiled at her. Fluttershy blushed a bit "Oh…you’re welcome I'm glad you’re alright…and I hope you get back your memory….oh don't forget your uh…vacuum cleaner." "Oh yeah Thank you I almost forgot," he said as he picked it up with his teeth and struggled a bit strapping (Tough without hands) it on, Once he got it strapped he looked to Fluttershy and smiled softly and said "Thanks again, I'll see you later I guess," he said as he made his way out the door following Twilight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luigi and Twilight were both trotting away from Fluttershy's cottage, starting to make their way into town. When curiosity got the best of Luigi he finally spoke up. "Where are we going anyway?" Twilight answered him while still walking "I'm taking you to Sugar Cube Corner to get some cupcakes, One of my friends works there. But I must warn you she is a bit...erratic.” "Oh okay, and noted thanks for the warning. By the way, what is the name of this town, If I may ask?" Twilight stopped briefly and said "Oh this is Ponyville." Luigi snickered a bit trying to hold a laugh. Twilight taken aback said "What's so funny?" "I'm sorry, I just find it kinda funny that this town is named 'Ponyville' Kind of unoriginal if you ask me," he said still trying to hold in his laugh. Twilight face hoofed and sighed "Honestly it's not really that funny..." Luigi shook his head and said "I would disagree." "Are you done laughing at the town's name yet? We have arrived.." Luigi finally getting over the unoriginality of the town's name looked in awe at the building in front of him that resembled a gingerbread house. "Wow are you sure we can't just eat the building?" He said already knowing the answer but couldn't resist asking anyway. Twilight deadpanned "Can we just go in already?" Luigi conceded and said "Alright lets'a go." Luigi's demeanor lessened a bit as he thought 'Wait why does that phrase sound so familiar to me? I can't quite place my finger…err hoof on it, hmm…maybe I'm just overthinking things.' Twilight noticed Luigi's demeanor change as she saw him deep in thought. "Luigi are you okay, what's the matter?" She asked with a little concern. Luigi slightly was slightly startled and got knocked out of his train of thought. "Yeah, I was just thinking about something." "Care to talk about it?" She asked. "No, it’s nothing important, lets head in already. I'm quite hungry," he said hoping to drop the subject for now. "Alright, but if you want to talk about it, I'm here for you to talk to." she said smiling at him. "I'll’a keep that in mind thanks." As he said this Twilight's stomach made a growl in protest from not being able to finish her breakfast earlier. She blushed in embarrassment. "Okay enough procrastinating let's head in already." Holding in a laugh at Twilight's embarrassment. "Okey dokey." They both walked up to the door where Luigi pushed the door open for Twilight. Blushing slightly at the gesture. she walked in as Luigi followed. As they walked in Luigi noticed a Pink blur run by him "HI! I'M PINKIE PIE!” "WAHHHH!" Luigi screamed startled as he jumped up several feet into the air. Pinkie ignoring his reaction, just smiled at him. "ARE YOU NEW IN PONYVILLE? BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYPONY IN PONYVILLE! IF I DON'T KNOW YOU THEN YOU MUST BE NEW! DO YO LIKE CUPCAKES?! OHHH WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR BACK IS THAT A PARTY VACUUM!? DO YOU LIKE PARTIES?! BECAUSE I LOVE PARTIES!" Luigi started running towards the door as Twilight tried to stop him. "I tried to warn you." Luigi ignored her continued screaming as he ran out the door "WAHHHHHHHHH!" He ran outside and hid behind a food stand. Pinkie popped out from behind "What are you doing back here silly?" "WAHHHHHH!" he screamed again as he scurried off back into Sugarcube Corner, where Pinkie popped up again behind the counter. "Want some cupcakes!?" Luigi stumped by how she keeps popping up out of nowhere said "How do you'a keep doing that?!" Twilight who was just watching the scene play out said "Its just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie, Luigi this is Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie this is Luigi. Fluttershy found him out cold in the Everfree Forest and he doesn't remember anything on how he ended up there. " Pinkie ignoring most of Twilight introduction. "Oh you met Fluttershy? She is one of my best friends, nice to meet you Luigi can you come back here later tonight?!" Luigi still not quite with it just said "Uh Okay." Twilight getting Pinkie's attention asked "Uh Pinkie could I get some cupcakes? Luigi here has yet to eat anything today. "Huh!?" she gasped "Sure thing Twilight!" Not more than 10 seconds later Pinkie popped up from the kitchen with several cupcakes. Luigi baffled by the pony's randomness "What? How? That's not possible?" Twilight once again stated "Just Pinkie being Pinkie, I try not to question it. I'll never be able figure it out myself anyways.” Luigi accepting this, took a cupcake and took a bite. His eyes widened "This is really good!" He said as he scarfed the cupcake down." Twilight laughing at Luigi's reaction managed to get his attention. "So Luigi, do you have anywhere you can stay tonight? If not, I have a spare bed back at my place you can use," This got Luigi's attention. "Uh..thank you, I'a don't want to impose." Twilight waved a hoof dismissively. "It's no trouble, at least until you can regain your memory." "Uh thank you." "How much for the cupcakes Pinkie?" Twilight asked. "4 bits," Pinkie said. 'Bits? Must be this place's currency.' "Twilight nodded and used her magic to float over the necessary bits." Luigi startled by this said to Twilight "How did you do that?" Twilight giggled a bit at his reaction"What, it's just magic." "Magic?" He said still confused She started to explain "Yes, all unicorns can do magic, You probably can use it as well." "Huh, I can?" "Yes, under your hat you have a horn, like mine." She lifted his hat with her magic, Luigi taken aback with his hat being removed. "HEY!" he said as he was rubbing the top of his head feeling an appendage protruding from his head. "Oh…." He said slightly dumbfounded. Twilight again laughing at his confusion returned his hat. "Come on lets go get you set up back at my place." "Thanks for the cupcakes Pinkie, I'll see you later." She said to her friend "Oh no problem Twilight, Luigi don't forget to come back later tonight at 7:00!" "Okey dokey." He said as he and Twilight started to leave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back in town they continued to walk in silence until they arrived at a giant tree. "Well here we are" She said. "You live in a tree?" He asked curious. She stared at him for a second before responding "Yes, Is that a problem?" Not wanting to offend "Uh no, not at all." Accepting his answer she simply nodded in confirmation as she opened the door with her magic gesturing him to come in, he did so. "You Live in a library?" "Yes I'm the librarian here in Ponyville along with Spike. Spike I'm back, could you come here for a second?" "Who is Spike?" Luigi asked curious. "Oh he is my assistant, he is a dragon." 'A dragon, this should be freaking me out but for some reason I'm okay.' "Okey dokey, gotcha." Spike came down from upstairs. "What is it Twi? What do you need? Who is this?” She explained to her assistant " Spike this is Luigi, Fluttershy found him in the Everfree forest out cold and now he can't remember where he is from or how he got here. He will be staying with us for a couple of days. Could you set up the spare bed? "Oh really, Are you alright? Nice to meet you by the way,” Spike said extending a claw, Luigi extended his hoof and shook the dragon's claw. "Uh… Nice to meet you too...." Luigi said slightly nervous. "Alright Twi, I'll go set up the spare bed." Spike saluted. "Thank you Spike." Twilight said smiling to her assistant. A few minutes later Spike had set up Luigi's bed. "I think I'm gonna take a nap, all this excitement has got me beat." Luigi said stifling a yawn. Twilight nodded "Alright we'll wake you up for dinner, try to relax if you want to regain your memory any time soon.” "Alright thank you, Twilight and Spike, I appreciate this," he said as he started to lay down. When Twilight and Spike were out of earshot Twilight spoke up.. "Spike could you please get a quill and parchment? I'd like to write a letter to the princess.” He saluted as he got the quill and parchment and waited for Twilight to begin. Dear Princess Celestia, Today my friend Fluttershy found a mysterious pony with a green hat and an odd vacuum cleaner on his back in the everfree forest who claims that he is not from Equestria. Unfortunately he cannot remember where he is from or how he ended up in the Everfree forest. I decided to let him stay at the library for a couple of days, I'm also going to try and help him recover his memory, He said he is something called a human originally but I'm a little skeptical on this. I'll write again when I find out more. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle Author's Note Chapters are going to come at a slower pace. Edited Chapter 2 (Edited)Chapter 2 While awaiting sleep's embrace, several questions kept popping into Luigi’s head. 'What am I doing here? Why am I here? I feel like there is something that I'm supposed to do now? Why do I look like this? Can I trust these ponies? I don't know…all I know is that I'm scared. Several minutes passed as the wrap from sleep's embrace finally took him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Awwww...Is the baby scared? Heehee! Opening his eyes to the source of the voice. He looked up, and what he saw made his face go pale. Luigi was trembling in fear. "W-w-w-who a-a-are y-y-you?" The for Luigi unknown object smirked at the former human now unicorn. "Who I am? Oh you don't remember me? I'm hurt!" Hehehe. "N-n-n-no, w-w-w-what d-d-do you want from m-me?" Luigi responds still petrified in fright. "What I want?!" The Ghost said, voice dripping with venom. "I want you and everyone around you to suffer just like you made me suffer all those years ago!" Intimidated by the loud vehement outburst. "W-w-what d-did I do?" Enjoying seeing him in this frightened state. "What you did then doesn't matter anymore, you will never succeed! You’re are nothing more than a second-rate failure who lives in everyone's shadow! You hear me, you are worthless! You will never triumph over me! HEHEHEH!" It said, every word dripping with acid. Luigi fell to the floor covering his eyes with his forelegs, tears a flow. "I-I-am n-n-not useless! Please sto-" "ENOUGH! BEGONE!" Shouted a deafening voice, its origin unknown. Suddenly beams of light shot through King Boo. Now Wincing in pain. He began to vanish. “We’ll meet again, ciao for now. HEHEH!" When he finally vanished, Luigi wiped the excess tears from his eyes with his hoof. He saw a dark silhouette of someone or somepony standing in the distance, he could see it had wings and what looked like a horn on its head. "W-who are you?" Luigi asked confused. Before he could get answer the figure vanished. "W-wait!?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Buddy are you alright? Wake up, You're having a nightmare!" Spike said trying to prompt the green unicorn into consciousness. Luigi was startled by being awoken by the dragon, suddenly, without warning a green fireball shoots out from his forehead, singing right through the hat, leaving a gaping hole in it. The fireball came into contact with a random book on a shelf knocking it to the floor. It was set ablaze and eventually turned into ash. "How did I do that?" He said clearly amused by what he had done, after processing the moment he realized what had happened. "NOOOO, My hat!" Spike upset by his outburst. "Dude, not cool! I'm going to be the one blamed for this you know!" "Uh…sorry." Luigi said with a sheepish grin. "What was that noise? Are you two alright?” Spike and Luigi both started to panic as Twilight started trotting up the stairs. "Quick hide the evidence." Spike whispered. The green unicorn nodded in confirmation. "Okey dokey." Spike attempted to hide the singed hat while Luigi tried to hide the smoldering ash that was once a book by sitting on it. The door was surrounded in a magenta aura as the door opened to show the lavender unicorn with a worried expression on her face. She started to interrogate them. "What happened in here? I heard yelling. Eh… Luigi where is your hat?" "Hat? What hat? I have no idea what you're talking about. I certainly didn't set anything on fi-" He was interrupted by Spike. "It blew out the window as he was sleeping. Isn't that right?" He turned to Luigi and winked at him, hinting him to play along. "Oh yeah, darn wind took my hat, accursed wind. I will have my REVENGE!" Surprisingly Twilight seemed to buy the story. "Oh just calm down, my friend Rarity happens to be a fashion designer here in Ponyville. She'll make you a new hat." 'How dumb do they think I am? Who are they trying to fool?' "That sounds great, we should do that." Luigi said surprised at Twilight's apparent gullibility. Twilight arched an eyebrow in suspicion. "Anyways, dinner is ready when you two want to come down. Luigi there are some things that I need to discuss with you." 'I'm sure I'll find out what happened later.' "Okey dokey! We'll be down in a minute." Spike said also nodding in confirmation. Twilight turned around and started trotting downstairs. "Dude, too much. 'I will have my revenge.' Really? " "Yeah I know." Luigi replied slightly embarrassed. He had forgotten that he was sitting on smoldering ash, but the sudden burning sensation reminded him of it. "YOW hot! Hot!" He screamed jumping three feet in to the air while holding his flank. "Come on lets head down before Twilight becomes anymore suspicious." Spike stifled a laugh. "Okey dokey. I'll head down in a second you go first, I need to do something real quick" "Alright dude, take your time." Spike replied as he headed downstairs. Finally alone to think. "That nightmare, again it felt so real. Who was that anyway? How did he know me? Why can't I remember or recognize him? What exactly did he mean by all those years ago? Also who was it that saved me? I could have sworn I saw someone. Hmm should I tell Twilight or Spike about it?" He thought about it for a minute before coming up with an answer. "No I shouldn't, at least not yet anyway. I don't know If I can fully trust them yet." Satisfied with his answer, he decided to start heading downstairs. He made his way to the staircase. "Wait stairs, oh no. Walking up was one thing, but down... Oh well, here goes." He started with his right foreleg, followed by his left. When he tried to step down with his hind legs he tripped and started to tumble-down the stairs. "Oh! Ow! OW!" he cried out as he tumbled down. Twilight and Spike both heard him as he rolled down the stairs. "Luigi are you alright?!" They said in unison as they ran over to where Luigi had stopped falling. Luigi was a little bewildered, but to their amazement unscathed as he gets up and dusts himself off. "What? Oh don't worry I fall all the time. I have sort of grown immune to it over the years." He said chuckling at his own follies. Twilight grimaced at the fact that he just laughed off his own pain. "Well as long as you're alright, Come on, I have dinner ready. There are some things we need to discuss." She said curious to get more information on him. "Alright, I guess I can agree to that. As long as I get to ask you some questions about this 'Equestria Place'." Twilight nodded her head, but didn’t like that her homeland was being called 'this place.' She held herself from correcting him as she was eager to get started "Alright that sounds fair." She said as they advanced into the kitchen. Inside the kitchen, on the table, laid two plates of spinach salad and one bowl that contained an assortment of gems along with three cups of fresh squeezed apple juice. Luigi was not a big fan of spinach salad but didn't want to be a rude house guest , simply grinned and barred it. 'Do I really have to eat without a utensil' He stuck his face down to plate and took a cautious bite. To his surprise it actually tasted better then he remembered. 'Must be a ponies taste buds. Gasp! Does that mean no more spaghetti and meatballs or my most favorite pasta of all, ravioli!?' Twilight noticed his discomfort. "You know, I could teach you how to use a utensil with your magic?" Not wanting to stay off subject. "Anyways, can you remember anything on how you ended up out cold in the Everfree forest? Or have you at least figured out any clues." Luigi cringed a bit remembering the nightmare he had a while ago. "Uh… Nope sorry, nothing." He lied 'Not ready to talk about it...yet.' Twilight pondered for a moment. "Hmm that is unfortunate." She Remembered the letter she had sent earlier. "Oh yes I sent a letter to Princess Celestia informing her of your situation. Maybe she can help you. Once I get a reply back from her" Princess Celestia?Luigi gave her a quizzical look. "Who is Princess Celestia?" Twilight mouth fell open as her face was now filled with shock and confusion. "You really aren't from around here. Princess Celestia is the ruler of Equestria alongside with her sister Princess Luna. Princess Celestia raises the sun and rules during the day while Princess Luna raises the moon and has the authority over night." Luigi now gave a shocked expression of his own. "Oh. wait bu-" Suddenly a loud *CRASH* sound was heard from the other room. "WAAAH" Luigi shouted as he started shaking. Twilight was already aware of who it could be. “Rainbow, we do have a door you know?" In the kitchen came a cyan colored mare with wings."Heh yeah sorry Twi. Anyway I was wo-" She paused when she noticed the green unicorn. She smirked and said "Hey Twi, Who’s this? Is he your coltfriend?" Luigi was confused by this term. 'Colt what?' Twilight's face turned red for a brief moment. "Of course not Rainbow, Fluttershy found him out cold in the Everfree forest this morning, and now he can't remember anything. I'm trying to help him recover his memory. Nothing more." Rainbow started laughing. "Heh, I was just pulling your leg Twi." She says looking over to the green unicorn. "What's up, my name is Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria! Whats your name?" 'Flying ponies as well, I'm jealous!' "Uh..Luigi, I'm that guy from that place that I can't remember." Rainbow arched an eyebrow at him. "Well if you're a friend of Twilight's, you’re alright in my book. But I'll be watching you." She said in a stern tone. "Anyway Rainbow, what brings you here at this hour?" Rainbow began rubbing the back of her head. "Well you see, I heard the new Daring Do book came out today. I was wondering if you had an extra copy?" Twilight smiled. "Oh yes It came earlier today, I left it in the spare bedroom, Spike could you please go and get it for me?" Spike who had been relatively quiet since they got to the table. "Uh… well funny story about that." "Spike did something happen to the book? Don't try to lie to me!" Twilight said in an authoritative tone. "Well you see, the thing is… Luigi and I kind of burned it." He said with a fake smile. "Awww..come on!" Rainbow Shouted. "You mean YOU burned it Spike! I'm disappointed in you for trying to direct blame on-" Luigi didn’t want to see Spike get in trouble so he spoke up. "Actually...It was me. You see when Spike tried to wake me up from my nap, I was having a bad dream. When he finally woke me up I suddenly launched this green fireball that singed my hat and that book you're looking for. It's the real reason I'm not wearing my hat. I'm sorry." He said sincerely. 'Ah ha! So that's what they were trying to hide from me.' She said in her head. "Well I certainly don't like my books being torched, nor do I like being lied to about it, but I do appreciate you telling me the truth. Spike your off the hook...this time." Spike breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "So Luigi you can cast pyro spells?" Twilight asked almost sounding impressed. "Uh...I guess." Luigi Responded not sharing the same enthusiasm. Twilight got Rainbow's attention. "I'm sorry about what happened to your copy, I'll let you know when we get another copy." "It's no problem Twi, I'll catch you later." Rainbow replies flying up to the green unicorn's face. "I'll be watching you buddy!" Cringing a bit. "D-duly noted." A few minutes after Rainbow left, Spike burped up what looked like a sealed scroll from his mouth. "Oh a reply from the princess! Quick Spike give it here!" Twilight says using her magic to open the scroll and beginning to read it. To My Most Faithful Student, I'm very sorry to hear about your friends apparent memory loss, I'm happy to hear that you wish to help him recover his lost memory. I wish you luck in your endeavors. He says that he was not a pony previously and instead he says he was once a human? I regret to inform you that I have little to no knowledge on the species called "Humans." I'll check the archives later when I get a chance to see if I can find any information that may benefit you and your friend. I'd like to request that you and your friend come to Canterlot so I may speak with him face to face. Unfortunately, my duties are going to keep me busy tomorrow so I would request that you both visit me in 2 days. I'll send a chariot to come pick you both up. I look forward to seeing you and your friend. Kindest regards, Princess Celestia "Alright excellent, Luigi the princess wants to see you in 2 days, make sure you're ready by then." Luigi was hardly paying any attention as his mind was elsewhere. "Oh, yeah, okey dokey!" "Anyway I think I'm done eating, Spike can you do dishes? I want to get some studying done tonight." "Alright Twilight, I’m on it." He groaned. "Luigi I think you should try to get some more sleep, I want you up early tomorrow so we can get your hat fixed up by my friend Rarity." 'Yes! No work!' "Alright sounds good, I thank you, good night Twilight, Spike." He heard Spike groaning and mumbling under his breath. "Lucky." "Good night, I'll see you in the morning!" Luigi heard Twilight say as he trotted up the stairs hoping not to fall once again. 'Princess huh? Why does that make an alarm go off in my head? Anyway I hope I don't have yet another one of those nightmares.' "What is my purpose? Am I really worthless..?" Author's Note Like I said chapters are going to come at a slower pace. Quality over Quantity. Thanks to NightShader for editing. Oh, I decided to add pictures to the story, I thought it was a cool idea, so I decided to try it. In my opinion it provides more illustration. Also added a dark tag for later chapters. Chaper 3Chapter 3 "What that thing said to me, Am I really useless?" "NAY THOU ART NOT USELESS!" Came a familiar voice, but still just as loud as before, immediately startling the green unicorn. But this time he was able to see who was speaking with him. Luigi's eyes widened with mouth agape at the figure in front of him. "W-who are y-you?" His timid nature clearly showing. "Thou need not fear us, for we mean no harm to thee." She said in a much lower volume, this helped the green unicorn relax albeit a little. "We are Princess Luna, guardian of the night." 'Who's We? Wait, Princess Luna!? The same one Twilight mentioned earlier?' "U-um hello, c-can I ask how you're talking to me now? W-where am I? T-this isn't where I was sleeping." 'Unless I was sleep-walking.' "Thou art now asleep. You see we have the power to enter ones dreams and expel nightmares, Thou remember the one you had earlier?" Luigi took a minute to absorb the information he was just given. "O-okay I think I get it." 'I think.' "I-in that case t-thank you, C-can I ask what that thing wanted with me, and how it knew me?" Luna simply nodded her head. "We don't know what that thing was nor do we know how it knew thou. We are also worried how it was able to enter thy dream. It seemed to be using a different form of magic, We could not identify its magic signature." 'Magic signature?' "Hmm..what exactly is a magic signature?" The alicorn started to explain. "All magic leaves a magic signature, usually it can be identified but we have never seen a signature like that before." 'What?' "Okay I understand." He lied trying to make it look like he understood. "We are sorry we can not be much help, We will do thy best to aid thee in figuring out how that monstrosity got into your dream." She assured. Luigi looked into Luna's eye with a serious expression that is rarely seen on his face. "Not to mean any dis-respect princess, but why do you care?" Luna looked away and sighed. "We understand thy's inner pain." The green unicorn adopted a puzzled look, wanting her to elaborate more on the subject. "What are you talking about?" "Thou will now soon enough. I wish thee farewell for it is time for thou to wake up. We will meet again." She said flying away. 'We wish thee the best of luck in thy quest, remember thou art not useless, Thou will shine.' "Wait!" He said wanting to ask more questions and get the answers he desperately desires. To no avail. 'Every time sigh, this isn't going to become a theme is it?' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Will you get up, we're already running late as it is!" Twilight said with irritation clearly present in her voice. "Ahhh!" Luigi startled as he rolled onto the floor. "Okay okay I'm up! I think..ugh." "Good, know go hurry up and eat breakfast. We've got things that need to be done today." "Alright, alright." 'Miss bossy.' He made his way down stairs where he was greeted by Spike. "Hey Spike, is she always like that in the morning?" He said as he started eating. Spike chuckled to himself. "Yeah that's nothing, you should see how she gets when she gets a test from the Princess." "Oh, Wow really I feel sorry for you bro." 'bro, why does saying that make my heart start pounding' Spike started to make pointing gestures trying to warn him that Twilight was coming, The green unicorn being oblivious did not see or heed the warning. "Living with that must be difficult." "Hmhmm!" Luigi heard from behind. 'Oh no Twilight's behind me, isn't she?' "You were saying?" She said in an icy tone. Fearing his well-being. "Oh uh nothing, nothing at all!" "That's what I thought." She replied with satisfaction in her voice." Twilight sat sown and started to eat her breakfast. Regaining his bearings he started to think to himself while still eating. 'Okay that dream last night, What does that Princess know that I don't? My inner pain? What did she mean by that? I still have no idea what that thing that appeared in my dream before wanted with me or how it knew me, this is something I need to look into later but for know the only lead I have is Princess Luna, she definitely knows more than she is letting on, Oh also that vacuüm cleaner upstairs maybe something about that will help will jog my memories and maybe-' Seeing the green unicorn staring into space. "Equestria to Luigi, anypony home?" Snapping him out of his reverie. "Oh sorry, I guess I'm still a bit groggy." He feigned not wanting to cause unnecessary attention to himself. 'He is definitely hiding something from me, this is the second time he has done this, I'll have to investigate into this later' "Oh alright, If your done we should get going to get your hat fixed." "Okey Dokey." Content with the subject not being dragged further made his way to the door. "Spike I'll be gone for about an hour, can you tidy up the library while I'm gone?" Spike groaned to himself. "As always..", Sure Twi, no problem." "Thanks Spike I left some bits on the counter for you, after your done why don't you go pick up some cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner." This seemed to perk Spike up a bit. "Okay thanks Twi." 'Sugarcube corner' "Oh no, I forgot to go back there yesterday!" He shouted startling Twilight and Spike. Twilight grimaced at this. "You didn't 'Pinkie promise' did you?" The Green unicorn gave her a quizzical look. "Um no, I can't anyway since I don't have opposable thumbs." Twilight face-hoofed. 'What's is he talking about.' "Allow me to be more concise, did you 'Pinkie Pie' promise?" Giving a very confused look, he tilted his head and replied "Uh no?" 'What's a "Pinkie Pie" promise? Something tells me that I don't want to know. Especially if it involves that hyperactive pink pony. The lavender unicorn breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you should be fine....I think. Just don't forget to apologize." "Okey dokey, will do, letsa go. 'Again I say that and my heart starts pounding, why? Any way what does she mean by "I think." Oh well I go apologize and problem solved right? What could possibly go wrong?' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As they were trotting along he noticed other ponies giving him a weird look. 'Do I have something on my face?' He thought to himself. "Oh I forgot there was a question I wanted to ask yesterday before Rainbow interrupted." 'This guy forgets everything..' "I'm listening?" "What are these uh pictures on everyone's uh flank?" He asked with a degree of caution. "Oh those are our cutie marks." She stated as matter of factly. "These represent our special talents, they appear once a pony discovers their special talent. For example my special talent is magic." She finished. 'Seriously "cutie marks." Well what do expect from a world of pastel colored talking ponies?' "Interesting." Looking at his flank to the picture of a mallet. "Wait my special talent is mallets...?" "Well maybe you're good working with mallets or maybe building stuff, who knows." Twilight suggested. 'Well as long as I am not something lame like a plumber or something.' He stated in his head. "Oh look there it is the Carousel Boutique." Twilight said pointing with her hoof. 'Seriously, "Carousel Boutique." What's next? A town called Manehattan?' He laughed to himself at the thought. Twilight already at the front door. She knocks on the door gently with her hoof. "Rarity, It's me Twilight. Do you have a minute?" "Coooooming!" Echoed a refined feminine voice from inside. Not more than a minute later the door opened revealing an alabaster unicorn mare. "Twilight darling, what can I do for..Oh who's your friend?" She said winking at Twilight. Blushing slightly, she regained her composure and spoke. "Rarity this is Luigi." Sighing to herself 'Cue monologue.' "Fluttershy found him unconscious yesterday in the Everfree forest and he can't seem to remember how he got there; I'm trying to help him regain his memory." Rarity turned her attention to the green unicorn in question. "Oh you poor dear, Is there anything I can do to help?" "Yes, we were wondering if you'd be willing to fix up his hat?" 'my precious book! sniff..' "Oh, dear..that hat is hideous, why it's simply a crime against fashion." She said in a melodramatic tone. Luigi offended by this. "Hey! It's not a-" Seeing where this was going Twilight interrupted. "Rarity please just fix it up anyway?" Sighing in resignation. "Oh alright, give it here darling, I'll have it ready later. Pleased with her answer. "Thank you we'll be back la-" Twilight started before being interrupted by Spike. Exhausted from running. "Pinkie..Sugarcube corner...pies-" Before he could finish a pie from out of nowhere struck the green unicorn in the face. 'Aww..I hate cherry, at least toss something good at me like blueberry.' He wiped the excess of pie off his face. "Mr.Party forgetter meanie pants!" Pinkie came running with a pouting face. Rarity gasped. "Skipping a Pinkie Pie party? How uncouth." She said while giving the green unicorn an incredulous look. Feeling awkward. "Oh, uh sorry...I forgot..heh..heh." From out of no where Pinkie withdrew two pies ready to toss them at Luigi. Spike spoke up. "Run Luigi Run!" He yelled in dramatic tone. "Okey dokey!" He began to run way from his assailant. "Get back here you meanie Mcmeanie pants party forgetter!" She shouted as she started her pursuit after him. Twilight sighed. 'This can't end soon.' "I'll go stop this before this gets out of hand. Rarity thanks again for agreeing to fix up his hat I'll let him know to pick it up later." "Think nothing of it darling, I'll have it fixed in a jiffy, even though I still think that hat is hideous." The alabaster unicorn than gave a smirk to Twilight. "Oh and if you need some advice I'm here for you." Giving the lavender unicorn a suggestive wink. "Ta-ta for know." 'Will she stop doing that. ugh' "Bye Rarity." 'No to go stop those 3 from destroying the whole town, what have I got myself into.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Huff...all right I think we lost her." Luigi said as they took refuge in a nearby alley to catch their breath. Spike cast a slight glare at the green unicorn,"Huff..Please for our sakes can you please stop forgetting everything, and honestly why am I running? I didn't even do anything." "Well excuse m-" He was cut off as Pinkie Pie popped up right behind them. "There you are Mr.party forgetter!" She declared as she withdrew two more pies out of now where. 'How does she keep doing that?' Finally conceding in defeat as any effort to run away would be futile. "Okay okay I'm...sorry I forgot to come back yesterday, I just got to distracted and it slipped my mind. Please spare me!" He finished while holding his hooves in front of his face from the impending pastry assault. She glared at him for a few second before her face did a 180, turning from a glare to broad smile. "Okii doki loki! Why didn't you just say that before silly? 'Am I being spared?' With a degree of caution he spoke. "H-huh?" "I'll just throw your 'Welcome to Ponyville' tonight and I'll invite everypony." She started bouncing happily. Spike also happy from being spared form the pastries of doom chimed in. "He'll even 'Pinkie Promise' on it." Luigi hearing this. "Huh, I will?" Spike giving the green unicorn a slight glare. "Yes you will! Just repeat after me." Slightly intimidated at Spike's glare. "O-okey dokey?" The purple dragon started. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." "Ow!" Luigi said as he poked his eye with his hoof. A certain lavender unicorn finally caught to the 3 in question. "What's going on here?" "It's alright Twi everything is good know, the crisis averted." Spike assured. 'Already, for anything involving Pinkie, this is a new record!' She thought to herself. "Yep oruni everything is great! I''ll see you later! I have a party to plan! I'll see you three tonight! She yelled as she started bouncing happily away. Twilight smiling slightly. "Oh right Luigi don't forget to pick up your hat latter, and I emphasize please don't forget!" "No more PIES!" He blurted out. 'Oh no I think Pinkie traumatized him for life.' "Will you calm down, your fine! Any way since your hat will not be done for a couple of hours and I'm pretty sure a party awaits your imminent future, let's head back to the library for now. I'll help you practice your magic, I want to see how strong it is." She finally finished. "Uh I don't know...." He said with reluctance clear in his voice. Twilight gave him a deadpanned look. "Oh you'll be fine, what could possibly go wrong? 'Oh no did she really just say that...?' He conceded. "O-okay." 'This will end badly.' The lavender unicorn satisfied with his answer. "Alright let's get going, come on Spike." "Please save me..coming." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at the library. Getting the green unicorn's attention "Alright lets start with something simple, we'll start with basic levitation." She said with a hint of enthusiasm. Luigi obviously not sharing the same enthusiasm. "Uh..okay if you say so." Spike sitting beside Twilight deciding to spectate. "Alright first, relax your muscles, and remember to stay calm and just let the magic flow." The lavender unicorn instructed. Trying his best to obey closes his eyes. He then began to breathe in and out. His horn began to glow with a dark green aura. Happy with the progress so far."Alright your doing very well so far! Okay, now focus your magic on this book and imagine it floating." He turned his attention to the book in question and focused his magic on it. The book became cloaked in a green aura; It began floating into the air. Twilight clapped her hooves together with glee. "That's it, excellent job!" Luigi smirking to himself and blushing slightly at the compliment. He lost his concentration as the book began shaking still encased in the green aura catapulted and hit Spike right dead center in the face. "Spike! Are you alright!" She shouted worriedly at her assistant. Laying dazed on the floor for a few minutes before speaking up. "Note to self, stay clear of him when ever he uses any magic!" Luigi attempting to stifle a laugh but failing miserably. "Heh..uh sorry." Glaring at Luigi to get him to stop laughing "Sigh oh Spike." She then got the green unicorn's attention. "You did pretty good but next time remember to stay focused." "Duly noted." 'Still it's nice it wasn't me getting hit for once, that's something right?' "Alright that's enough with levitation for know let's try another simple spell, let's try illumination." Wanting to be finished. "Can we do it later, I just want to sit and relax for a bit." Spike grinning at the thought. "I'm with you on that buddy!" "Ugh you two, no time to relax when there is stuff to be done! Come on and stop complaining and let's get this done." Spike whispered to Luigi. "She's always like this just do it and save yourself the headache." The green unicorn grinning a bit. "Will do." "What was that you two?" The purple dragon panicking a bit, "Oh nothing just wishing him good luck with his magic." He lied. 'Honestly again how dumb do they think I am?' "Alright Luigi the illumination spell is as simple as levitation just focus your magic through your horn and imagine a bright light." "Okay here goes." He began to focus his magic through his horn, but all that came out was a couple of sparks. "It's okay just try again and remember to focus." Twilight encouraged. Attempting once again but once again nothing but a few sparks came out. "Huff..." He began to sweat a bit until finally his horn began to glow again. "Good, just a little more." She encouraged again Keeping his focus this time, his horn's glow began to gleam as it became brighter and brighter until..he lost his focus with an immense flash of light temporarily impeding both Spike and Twilight's eyesight. "Ahhh..I can't see." Complained Spike. "Alright I'm serious I'm staying away from you any time you decide to use magic, it's always me on the receiving end..sigh." Breaking out of her temporary daze. "That wasn't a illumination spell, Regardless you did very well with a little practice perhaps you can put that light spell to some practical use." "Uh..thanks I guess." 'My head hurts.' He groaned to himself. Looking at the time."Alright that's enough practice for today, it's time to leave for the surprise party anyway." "Okay, just please no more PIES!" 'I'm gonna have fun with that in the future' "Oh you'll be fine. Come on Luigi, Spike you can come to if you'd like." Spike perked up. "Well what are we waiting for let's get going already!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 3 arrived at Sugarcube corner. Before entering the lavender unicorn spoke "All right Luigi, Even though you know what's going to happen just pretend to act surprised alright? Trust me on this." The green unicorn nodded in confirmation. "Okey dokey." Twilight opening the door with her magic, They all entered in unison. 3.... 2... 1... SURPRISE!!! Even though he was expecting it the green unicorn yelped and jumped several feet into the air clinging on to the chandelier that was hanging above shaking in fear. Twilight facehoofed and used her magic and levitated him back to the ground. Spike just laughed at his humiliation. Not being able to regain his composure Pinkie jumped in front of him. "SO WERE YOU SURPRISED!? WERE YOU? WERE YOU?" She shouted while jumping up down repeatedly. "U-uhh..yes you could say that." He replied while still shaking a bit. "There's cake and punch! Oh do you like games? Do yo-" She was silenced by an orange earth pony mare. "Ah' think he gits it sugar cube." She turned her attention to the green unicorn. "Howdy pardner the names Applejack, AJ fer short, glad to metcha." She said extending her hoof out in greeting. He accepted the greeting. "M-my name is Luigi, n-nice to meet you." His timid nature showing once again. "Don't worry sugarcube, ah don't bite." She chuckled. "So what's yer story sugarcube? How'd yeh end up 'ere in Ponyville?" 'Ugh cue monologue again' Twilight groaned to herself. "Yesterday Fluttershy found him out cold in the Everfree forest and he has no memory of how he ended up there, I'm attempting to help him recover his memory." 'Please be the last time I have to say this.' AJ frowned. "Ah'm sorry to here that sugarcube, tell ya what come by to Sweet Apple Acres sometime and ah show ya around." The green unicorn calmed down a bit. "U-uh sure that sounds great." AJ grinned. "Sounds good sugarcube, now enough standing around git going enjoy yer party." Luigi smiling slightly. "Will do thanks AJ." He went to start mingling with the other ponies not making much conversation his natural timid nature made it slightly difficult for him. He made his way to the punch bowl to get some punch, he began to practice his magic on a cup, that is until a certain alabaster unicorn mare trotted up to him breaking his focus on the cup. "Ah there you are darling, I fixed up your hat good as new." She smiled as she floated the hat in question onto his head. "Even though it's still hideous." "Oh thanks a lot looks great. I'm sorry but I don't have any money and..." She waved a hoof at him dismissively. "Nonsense darling, you don't owe me a thing." "Oh that's generous of you, Thank you." He said with sincerity. "It was no trouble darling, Do come by if you require my services again." She said with a smile. "Oh also come if want to seek some advice. Ta-ta" She said giving him a wink as she walked away. 'What was that wink about eh whatever? Time to enjoy the party I guess. The rest of the party was mostly uneventful aside from Luigi burning his tongue from drinking hot sauce flavored punch which caused quite a bit of laughter at his expense especially from Rainbow Dash. After a few hours everypony started to head home. "Well that was some party Pinkie I had fun." Twilight said smiling to her friend. "Well I think it's time we headed back." "No problem Twilight! See you later!" Pinkie said bouncing up and down. Spike fell asleep long ago in the punch bowl. Twilight Smirked as she levitated him onto her back. "Come on Luigi lets head back we have to be up early tomorrow for our meeting with the Princess." "Okey dokey, let's get going. Bye Pinkie thanks for the party. 'Phew no pies.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The walk back to the library was mad in relative silence. Once inside Twilight finally spoke up. "Well try to get a good night sleep, our day is going to be busy tomorrow." 'How many times is she going to remind me.' "Alright good night I guess." He trotted up the stairs and laid down in bed awaiting sleeps comfortable embrace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In an unknown place "Alright boss we've located him, shall we go after him now?" "HEHEHE no not tonight. Let him squirm for a little while longer. It's something I rather enjoy watching. HEHEH!" "Yes boss as you wish." Said the minion. "Tomorrow we strike, let him meet with this princess it will change NOTHING! HEHE!" "Yes boss!" All the minions shouted in unison. The boss turning his attention to a painting. "Awww don't worry your brother will be joining you real soon I can't wait! HEHEH!" "Soon you will pay LUIGI! I will personally enjoy watching you suffer! I will make it slow and painful! HEHE!" Author's Note I really think I've made Luigi to OOC and I'm also not making use of that comedy tag, which is a shame considering the fact Luigi has a lot of "comic potential" I'll have to remedy that. I also think I'm going to slow with the progression of the story. I realized I focused to much on emphasis and description rather than the actual story itself which makes for a boring read especially in a part comedy fiction, I'm fixing that problem next chapter. Opinions on these thoughts would be appreciated. I made the chapter slightly longer than usual to progress through the rest of the introductions. So starting next chapter is where the action finally begins. Oh and let me know If I missed any major errors. Chapter 4: We have a problem.Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Prologue (Edited)Prologue After trekking through countless mansions Luigi stands before King Boo himself hoping to thwart his sinister Plans to take over the world and turning all his friends into paintings. "This is it, now or never" He said with as much confidence as he could muster. (Which is not much) King Boo started to launch his first attack by summoning giant spiked balls to the battlefield, he then did a ground pound launching the said balls into the air to drop on Luigi. Seeing this as an opportunity Luigi withdraws his flashlight in an attempt to stun King Boo. He succeeds, while stunned one of his own spiked balls drop on the King's head, revealing his weak point. "This is for my brother!" He said with gusto as he brought out his Poltergust 5000 and started to catch him once and for all. After a long and arduous battle he finally succeeds in the capture, he notices the King lost his crown in the struggle. He runs over to pick it up. "I did IT!" He beamed, he then begun to dance, as he was doing this a light flashes before his eyes. Everything around him goes white, he then heard something that made his blood run cold, laughter of none other than King Boo. "Where is Mario!" he growled. He is again met with more laughter from right behind. Shaking in fear as he started to turn around and before he could react everything went black as he fell down unconscious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was morning in Ponyville, Celestia's sun had just begun to rise to start the day. In the Golden Oaks Library there was a lavender unicorn mare still fast asleep in her bed. In a basket next to her bed laid a purple dragon. He was first to wake from his slumber remembering that he has morning chores like preparing breakfast. Reluctantly he got up and headed downstairs to start cooking. Smelling the alluring scent of breakfast being cooked Twilight Sparkle started to stir from her slumber, with a yawn and a stretch she gets up. Brushing her mane to her liking she started to trot downstairs, where she is greeted by her "Number 1 assistant" Spike. Morning Twi" He smiled at her, "I made you some hay-cakes with some orange juice for breakfast." Sitting down to his own breakfast made of pancakes with a little sapphire sprinkled on top. "Thanks Spike." She smiled to her assistant as she sat down to enjoy her breakfast. She was about to begin eating when she was interrupted by knocking on the door. "I wonder who that could be" she said. Spike just shrugged and replied "I'll get it Twi" he said as he got up. She smiled at him and started to dig into her breakfast. Spike made his way to the door, where he was greeted by a cream colored Pegasus mare. "Morning Fluttershy, what are you doing here so early in the morning." He asked her. "Um...Is Twilight up yet? If she is can you get her for me..I-If that's okay with you? She asked in a volume that almost couldn't be heard. "Sure she is in the kitchen eating breakfast, come in," he gestured for her to come in. "Oh...um thank you," she said with a soft smile. They made their way to the kitchen where Twilight was still eating her breakfast. "Oh Fluttershy, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Do you need something?" She asked the shy pegasus. The aforementioned pegasus stuttered a bit before replying. “Oh...Well..you...see...I was...feeding...my....animals..this...morning...I..heard...a...noise..coming...from..the...forest...I...thought..it..might...be...a......hurt...animal...when...I..went..to...check...I...found...somepony....in..a..green...hat...I...took...him...back...to...my...house...........but...he...hasn't....woken...up...yet...I...can't..figure...out...what's..wrong..with...him..so..I...was...wondering..if..you...could.......come...down...to...check...to...see...if...he...is....okay...if...that...is...alright...with...you?” Twilight took a moment to process this information before replying. "Of course." "Spike I'm going out for a bit, can you watch the library while I'm gone?" She called out the her assistant. He simply nodded. "Sure thing Twi, please be careful out there the Everfree is dangerous." She smiled to her assistant "Thanks Spike, I'll be back in a couple of hours," she said as she and fluttershy trotted out the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They made their way up to Fluttershy's cottage. As they made their way to the door Fluttershy turned around and said "Oh..I hope he'll be ok." She said as a couple of tears escaped her eyes. Twilight simply smiled at her friend "I'm sure he'll be fine let's go in and see if he is okay." She said trying to cheer her up. "Okay." she said as she opened up the door to find the aforementioned pony still out cold. Twilight looked to the pony and said "I don't think I've met this pony before. What an odd hat," she said with confusion in her voice as she lifted the hat with her magic to get a better look at it, revealing a horn on his forehead. "Oh he is a unicorn." she said surprised, returning the hat back on top of the pony's head. Just as she did the unknown unicorn started to stir. "Oh Fluttershy he is waking up!" She said at a volume startling the pegasus. "...Where am I?" He said as he poked up his head not noticing the two ponies standing in front of him. "Um...excuse me sir..I found you out cold in the forest this morning so I brought you back here…I hope it’s okay with you. "Forest?" He said still groggy. "Yes that's right are you okay?" She said hopeful that he is okay. "Yes thank you miss..." He turned around to see pony staring at him. "..sir are you alright" Twilight chimed in. 'Did that pony just talk!? "Yes just bit groggy, where am I?" "Oh...You were in the everfree forest when my friend found you out cold, Do you remember anything? Twilight asked hopeful for answers. "At the moment no I can't...OW my head is killing me." He tried to place his hand on his forehead but what he saw made his eyes as wide as dinner plates. He knew this wasn’t right. "Where are my hands!?" Twilight looked at him in confusion and said "Hands? Sir are you sure alright?" 'This is weird!' "Can I have a mirror?" Fluttershy spoke up "Oh..well sure. Can you hold on a second if it’s alright with you?" 'Talking Ponies I know I’m crazy now' " Thank you miss..." "Oh..um my name is..... Fluttershy" "I'm sorry didn't catch that." She said it again "Come again?" Twilight spoke up for her friend "Her name is Fluttershy, and my name is Twilight Sparkle. What is your name?" She asked with a soft smile. "My name is Luigi" They both looked at him with confusion. "That is a weird name, I never heard of anypony named Luigi,” Twilight said arching an eyebrow. Luigi was taken aback by this 'Anypony? What is she talking about?' A minute later Fluttershy returned with a mirror. "WHAT THE!" He said shocked as the image in the mirror was not him but a pony with green fur and a brown mane and tail. On his head was his signature hat along with his signature mustache and a picture of a mallet adorning his flank. "Luigi are you okay!?" Twilight said with concern. He did not hear her, his eyes went to the back of his head as he passed out and fell to the floor. Author's Note I'd appreciate a little constructive criticism.

Chapter 1 (Edited)Chapter 1 "Hahahah you're useless as ever, you're an even easier target than your brother, hehehe!" "I-I-I'm not useless…you…wait?…who are you?" "What Brother…!?" "Hehehehehehehe!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Luigi, wake up! Are you alright?" Twilight said trying to rouse him back into consciousness. Luigi's eyes shot open "AAH!" He sprung his head up and he then started to shake his head in panic. After several minutes Luigi finally regained his bearings, during this time Fluttershy was hiding under her table shaking in fear at Luigi's outburst. 'Alright time to calm down, First of all where am I? What was I doing In a forest? Maybe these ponies can help shine some light(Ha!) on my situation.' There was an awkward silence as Twilight just stared at him with a worried expression on her face while Fluttershy was still shaking like a leaf under the table. Finally Luigi spoke up. "I'm sorry for the freak out, Its not everyday that you simply wake up in a forest as an entirely different species," he said while rubbing the back of his head with his hoof. Twilight tilted her head and arched an eyebrow in confusion "Wait a second, Entirely different species? Are you sure you’re alright?" 'Wait a second, hey I'm suppose to be the one asking the questions here.' "I'm sure I'm fine and yes from where I'm from (If I can remember where exactly')I'm what you would call a human…I think, with hands and feet and we are also bipedal." He said to the confused unicorn. Fluttershy finally poked her head out from under the table. "Um…excuse me but-" Twilight stared at Luigi like he was crazy "Human? Of all the books I read on the different species of animals in Equestria I have never come across any information on "Humans" she said intrigued on the possibly learning about a new species. "E-e-excuse…me," Fluttershy tried to speak up again. 'Never heard of a place like that before' "excuse me did you just say "In Equestria?” Is that where I am now?" He said with relief in his voice on finally getting some information on where in the world he was. Fluttershy spoke again "EXCUSE me!" Luigi and Twilight were both startled by Fluttershy's outburst. "Oh..I'm sorry…but can I ask you..what this is?" she said Pointing to a machine that laid on the floor. "I found this on your back when I found you in the forest…What is it? It looks like a vacuum cleaner?" Luigi now noticing the item in question got up and trotted up to it and read the label on the machine and it read "Poltergust 5000" 'I had this on my back? I can't figure it out now but I think this has something to do with why I am here in this "Equestria"place but for now…' "I-I-I don't now I can't remember at the moment. But I must say its a nice vacuüm, hehe." "Hmmm..Anyway…" Twilight said attempting to get back on subject. "You're saying you are not from Equestria? Then may I ask where you originally come from?" Luigi attempted to respond but couldn't come with an answer. "Oh, I'm from….I'm from….uh..I can't remember. Why can't I remember?!" He said as he began hyperventilating. "Please calm down! You won't be able to remember if you don't relax!" Twilight said with a look of concern. Fluttershy went back to her hiding place under the table. Luigi once again calmed down and spoke "You’re right, Okay, I have some questions for you two, but first can I get something to eat? I'm starved and can't remember the last time I ate. (literally)” Twilight smiled at him while Fluttershy came out from under the table once again. "Of course, who knows it might help jog your memory about where you’re from and how you got here even though I'm still skeptical about it.. Anyway what would you like to eat?" "Well I have a craving for some pizza, Any pizza places nearby?" He said hopeful. Fluttershy and Twilight looked at him again once again confused. "Um… 'Pizza'? Can you tell us what that is…If that's okay with you?" Luigi's left eye twitched a bit "No pizza…NOOOOOO!" Fluttershy recoiled at his reaction. "Pizza IS is an oven-baked, flattened round bread typically topped with a tomato sauce, cheese and various toppings. How can you NOT know what pizza is!?" Twilight taken aback by his reaction "Will you just calm down! No, we don't have this food called 'pizza' but if you'd like I'll take you to get some breakfast..ok? I'll pay of course." Luigi, not one to turn down a free meal simply nodded and replied "Alright thank you very much I appreciate it," he said as he was attempting to be polite. "It's no problem." Twilight assured. "Fluttershy would you like to come along with us?" "Oh…thanks but I think I'll stay here, I still need to finish feeding my animals…if that's okay with you?" Twilight nodded in confirmation to her friend "Alright Fluttershy, I'll see you later, take care. Come on Luigi, I know a good place to get some food, follow me." "Okey dokey, just one second." He said as he walked up to Fluttershy who backed up a bit as he approached. "I thank you for your kindness and for rescuing me while I was unconscious." Luigi said with sincerity as he smiled at her. Fluttershy blushed a bit "Oh…you’re welcome I'm glad you’re alright…and I hope you get back your memory….oh don't forget your uh…vacuum cleaner." "Oh yeah Thank you I almost forgot," he said as he picked it up with his teeth and struggled a bit strapping (Tough without hands) it on, Once he got it strapped he looked to Fluttershy and smiled softly and said "Thanks again, I'll see you later I guess," he said as he made his way out the door following Twilight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luigi and Twilight were both trotting away from Fluttershy's cottage, starting to make their way into town. When curiosity got the best of Luigi he finally spoke up. "Where are we going anyway?" Twilight answered him while still walking "I'm taking you to Sugar Cube Corner to get some cupcakes, One of my friends works there. But I must warn you she is a bit...erratic.” "Oh okay, and noted thanks for the warning. By the way, what is the name of this town, If I may ask?" Twilight stopped briefly and said "Oh this is Ponyville." Luigi snickered a bit trying to hold a laugh. Twilight taken aback said "What's so funny?" "I'm sorry, I just find it kinda funny that this town is named 'Ponyville' Kind of unoriginal if you ask me," he said still trying to hold in his laugh. Twilight face hoofed and sighed "Honestly it's not really that funny..." Luigi shook his head and said "I would disagree." "Are you done laughing at the town's name yet? We have arrived.." Luigi finally getting over the unoriginality of the town's name looked in awe at the building in front of him that resembled a gingerbread house. "Wow are you sure we can't just eat the building?" He said already knowing the answer but couldn't resist asking anyway. Twilight deadpanned "Can we just go in already?" Luigi conceded and said "Alright lets'a go." Luigi's demeanor lessened a bit as he thought 'Wait why does that phrase sound so familiar to me? I can't quite place my finger…err hoof on it, hmm…maybe I'm just overthinking things.' Twilight noticed Luigi's demeanor change as she saw him deep in thought. "Luigi are you okay, what's the matter?" She asked with a little concern. Luigi slightly was slightly startled and got knocked out of his train of thought. "Yeah, I was just thinking about something." "Care to talk about it?" She asked. "No, it’s nothing important, lets head in already. I'm quite hungry," he said hoping to drop the subject for now. "Alright, but if you want to talk about it, I'm here for you to talk to." she said smiling at him. "I'll’a keep that in mind thanks." As he said this Twilight's stomach made a growl in protest from not being able to finish her breakfast earlier. She blushed in embarrassment. "Okay enough procrastinating let's head in already." Holding in a laugh at Twilight's embarrassment. "Okey dokey." They both walked up to the door where Luigi pushed the door open for Twilight. Blushing slightly at the gesture. she walked in as Luigi followed. As they walked in Luigi noticed a Pink blur run by him "HI! I'M PINKIE PIE!” "WAHHHH!" Luigi screamed startled as he jumped up several feet into the air. Pinkie ignoring his reaction, just smiled at him. "ARE YOU NEW IN PONYVILLE? BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYPONY IN PONYVILLE! IF I DON'T KNOW YOU THEN YOU MUST BE NEW! DO YO LIKE CUPCAKES?! OHHH WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR BACK IS THAT A PARTY VACUUM!? DO YOU LIKE PARTIES?! BECAUSE I LOVE PARTIES!" Luigi started running towards the door as Twilight tried to stop him. "I tried to warn you." Luigi ignored her continued screaming as he ran out the door "WAHHHHHHHHH!" He ran outside and hid behind a food stand. Pinkie popped out from behind "What are you doing back here silly?" "WAHHHHHH!" he screamed again as he scurried off back into Sugarcube Corner, where Pinkie popped up again behind the counter. "Want some cupcakes!?" Luigi stumped by how she keeps popping up out of nowhere said "How do you'a keep doing that?!" Twilight who was just watching the scene play out said "Its just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie, Luigi this is Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie this is Luigi. Fluttershy found him out cold in the Everfree Forest and he doesn't remember anything on how he ended up there. " Pinkie ignoring most of Twilight introduction. "Oh you met Fluttershy? She is one of my best friends, nice to meet you Luigi can you come back here later tonight?!" Luigi still not quite with it just said "Uh Okay." Twilight getting Pinkie's attention asked "Uh Pinkie could I get some cupcakes? Luigi here has yet to eat anything today. "Huh!?" she gasped "Sure thing Twilight!" Not more than 10 seconds later Pinkie popped up from the kitchen with several cupcakes. Luigi baffled by the pony's randomness "What? How? That's not possible?" Twilight once again stated "Just Pinkie being Pinkie, I try not to question it. I'll never be able figure it out myself anyways.” Luigi accepting this, took a cupcake and took a bite. His eyes widened "This is really good!" He said as he scarfed the cupcake down." Twilight laughing at Luigi's reaction managed to get his attention. "So Luigi, do you have anywhere you can stay tonight? If not, I have a spare bed back at my place you can use," This got Luigi's attention. "Uh..thank you, I'a don't want to impose." Twilight waved a hoof dismissively. "It's no trouble, at least until you can regain your memory." "Uh thank you." "How much for the cupcakes Pinkie?" Twilight asked. "4 bits," Pinkie said. 'Bits? Must be this place's currency.' "Twilight nodded and used her magic to float over the necessary bits." Luigi startled by this said to Twilight "How did you do that?" Twilight giggled a bit at his reaction"What, it's just magic." "Magic?" He said still confused She started to explain "Yes, all unicorns can do magic, You probably can use it as well." "Huh, I can?" "Yes, under your hat you have a horn, like mine." She lifted his hat with her magic, Luigi taken aback with his hat being removed. "HEY!" he said as he was rubbing the top of his head feeling an appendage protruding from his head. "Oh…." He said slightly dumbfounded. Twilight again laughing at his confusion returned his hat. "Come on lets go get you set up back at my place." "Thanks for the cupcakes Pinkie, I'll see you later." She said to her friend "Oh no problem Twilight, Luigi don't forget to come back later tonight at 7:00!" "Okey dokey." He said as he and Twilight started to leave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back in town they continued to walk in silence until they arrived at a giant tree. "Well here we are" She said. "You live in a tree?" He asked curious. She stared at him for a second before responding "Yes, Is that a problem?" Not wanting to offend "Uh no, not at all." Accepting his answer she simply nodded in confirmation as she opened the door with her magic gesturing him to come in, he did so. "You Live in a library?" "Yes I'm the librarian here in Ponyville along with Spike. Spike I'm back, could you come here for a second?" "Who is Spike?" Luigi asked curious. "Oh he is my assistant, he is a dragon." 'A dragon, this should be freaking me out but for some reason I'm okay.' "Okey dokey, gotcha." Spike came down from upstairs. "What is it Twi? What do you need? Who is this?” She explained to her assistant " Spike this is Luigi, Fluttershy found him in the Everfree forest out cold and now he can't remember where he is from or how he got here. He will be staying with us for a couple of days. Could you set up the spare bed? "Oh really, Are you alright? Nice to meet you by the way,” Spike said extending a claw, Luigi extended his hoof and shook the dragon's claw. "Uh… Nice to meet you too...." Luigi said slightly nervous. "Alright Twi, I'll go set up the spare bed." Spike saluted. "Thank you Spike." Twilight said smiling to her assistant. A few minutes later Spike had set up Luigi's bed. "I think I'm gonna take a nap, all this excitement has got me beat." Luigi said stifling a yawn. Twilight nodded "Alright we'll wake you up for dinner, try to relax if you want to regain your memory any time soon.” "Alright thank you, Twilight and Spike, I appreciate this," he said as he started to lay down. When Twilight and Spike were out of earshot Twilight spoke up.. "Spike could you please get a quill and parchment? I'd like to write a letter to the princess.” He saluted as he got the quill and parchment and waited for Twilight to begin. Dear Princess Celestia, Today my friend Fluttershy found a mysterious pony with a green hat and an odd vacuum cleaner on his back in the everfree forest who claims that he is not from Equestria. Unfortunately he cannot remember where he is from or how he ended up in the Everfree forest. I decided to let him stay at the library for a couple of days, I'm also going to try and help him recover his memory, He said he is something called a human originally but I'm a little skeptical on this. I'll write again when I find out more. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle Author's Note Chapters are going to come at a slower pace. Edited
Chapter 2 (Edited)Chapter 2 While awaiting sleep's embrace, several questions kept popping into Luigi’s head. 'What am I doing here? Why am I here? I feel like there is something that I'm supposed to do now? Why do I look like this? Can I trust these ponies? I don't know…all I know is that I'm scared. Several minutes passed as the wrap from sleep's embrace finally took him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Awwww...Is the baby scared? Heehee! Opening his eyes to the source of the voice. He looked up, and what he saw made his face go pale. Luigi was trembling in fear. "W-w-w-who a-a-are y-y-you?" The for Luigi unknown object smirked at the former human now unicorn. "Who I am? Oh you don't remember me? I'm hurt!" Hehehe. "N-n-n-no, w-w-w-what d-d-do you want from m-me?" Luigi responds still petrified in fright. "What I want?!" The Ghost said, voice dripping with venom. "I want you and everyone around you to suffer just like you made me suffer all those years ago!" Intimidated by the loud vehement outburst. "W-w-what d-did I do?" Enjoying seeing him in this frightened state. "What you did then doesn't matter anymore, you will never succeed! You’re are nothing more than a second-rate failure who lives in everyone's shadow! You hear me, you are worthless! You will never triumph over me! HEHEHEH!" It said, every word dripping with acid. Luigi fell to the floor covering his eyes with his forelegs, tears a flow. "I-I-am n-n-not useless! Please sto-" "ENOUGH! BEGONE!" Shouted a deafening voice, its origin unknown. Suddenly beams of light shot through King Boo. Now Wincing in pain. He began to vanish. “We’ll meet again, ciao for now. HEHEH!" When he finally vanished, Luigi wiped the excess tears from his eyes with his hoof. He saw a dark silhouette of someone or somepony standing in the distance, he could see it had wings and what looked like a horn on its head. "W-who are you?" Luigi asked confused. Before he could get answer the figure vanished. "W-wait!?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Buddy are you alright? Wake up, You're having a nightmare!" Spike said trying to prompt the green unicorn into consciousness. Luigi was startled by being awoken by the dragon, suddenly, without warning a green fireball shoots out from his forehead, singing right through the hat, leaving a gaping hole in it. The fireball came into contact with a random book on a shelf knocking it to the floor. It was set ablaze and eventually turned into ash. "How did I do that?" He said clearly amused by what he had done, after processing the moment he realized what had happened. "NOOOO, My hat!" Spike upset by his outburst. "Dude, not cool! I'm going to be the one blamed for this you know!" "Uh…sorry." Luigi said with a sheepish grin. "What was that noise? Are you two alright?” Spike and Luigi both started to panic as Twilight started trotting up the stairs. "Quick hide the evidence." Spike whispered. The green unicorn nodded in confirmation. "Okey dokey." Spike attempted to hide the singed hat while Luigi tried to hide the smoldering ash that was once a book by sitting on it. The door was surrounded in a magenta aura as the door opened to show the lavender unicorn with a worried expression on her face. She started to interrogate them. "What happened in here? I heard yelling. Eh… Luigi where is your hat?" "Hat? What hat? I have no idea what you're talking about. I certainly didn't set anything on fi-" He was interrupted by Spike. "It blew out the window as he was sleeping. Isn't that right?" He turned to Luigi and winked at him, hinting him to play along. "Oh yeah, darn wind took my hat, accursed wind. I will have my REVENGE!" Surprisingly Twilight seemed to buy the story. "Oh just calm down, my friend Rarity happens to be a fashion designer here in Ponyville. She'll make you a new hat." 'How dumb do they think I am? Who are they trying to fool?' "That sounds great, we should do that." Luigi said surprised at Twilight's apparent gullibility. Twilight arched an eyebrow in suspicion. "Anyways, dinner is ready when you two want to come down. Luigi there are some things that I need to discuss with you." 'I'm sure I'll find out what happened later.' "Okey dokey! We'll be down in a minute." Spike said also nodding in confirmation. Twilight turned around and started trotting downstairs. "Dude, too much. 'I will have my revenge.' Really? " "Yeah I know." Luigi replied slightly embarrassed. He had forgotten that he was sitting on smoldering ash, but the sudden burning sensation reminded him of it. "YOW hot! Hot!" He screamed jumping three feet in to the air while holding his flank. "Come on lets head down before Twilight becomes anymore suspicious." Spike stifled a laugh. "Okey dokey. I'll head down in a second you go first, I need to do something real quick" "Alright dude, take your time." Spike replied as he headed downstairs. Finally alone to think. "That nightmare, again it felt so real. Who was that anyway? How did he know me? Why can't I remember or recognize him? What exactly did he mean by all those years ago? Also who was it that saved me? I could have sworn I saw someone. Hmm should I tell Twilight or Spike about it?" He thought about it for a minute before coming up with an answer. "No I shouldn't, at least not yet anyway. I don't know If I can fully trust them yet." Satisfied with his answer, he decided to start heading downstairs. He made his way to the staircase. "Wait stairs, oh no. Walking up was one thing, but down... Oh well, here goes." He started with his right foreleg, followed by his left. When he tried to step down with his hind legs he tripped and started to tumble-down the stairs. "Oh! Ow! OW!" he cried out as he tumbled down. Twilight and Spike both heard him as he rolled down the stairs. "Luigi are you alright?!" They said in unison as they ran over to where Luigi had stopped falling. Luigi was a little bewildered, but to their amazement unscathed as he gets up and dusts himself off. "What? Oh don't worry I fall all the time. I have sort of grown immune to it over the years." He said chuckling at his own follies. Twilight grimaced at the fact that he just laughed off his own pain. "Well as long as you're alright, Come on, I have dinner ready. There are some things we need to discuss." She said curious to get more information on him. "Alright, I guess I can agree to that. As long as I get to ask you some questions about this 'Equestria Place'." Twilight nodded her head, but didn’t like that her homeland was being called 'this place.' She held herself from correcting him as she was eager to get started "Alright that sounds fair." She said as they advanced into the kitchen. Inside the kitchen, on the table, laid two plates of spinach salad and one bowl that contained an assortment of gems along with three cups of fresh squeezed apple juice. Luigi was not a big fan of spinach salad but didn't want to be a rude house guest , simply grinned and barred it. 'Do I really have to eat without a utensil' He stuck his face down to plate and took a cautious bite. To his surprise it actually tasted better then he remembered. 'Must be a ponies taste buds. Gasp! Does that mean no more spaghetti and meatballs or my most favorite pasta of all, ravioli!?' Twilight noticed his discomfort. "You know, I could teach you how to use a utensil with your magic?" Not wanting to stay off subject. "Anyways, can you remember anything on how you ended up out cold in the Everfree forest? Or have you at least figured out any clues." Luigi cringed a bit remembering the nightmare he had a while ago. "Uh… Nope sorry, nothing." He lied 'Not ready to talk about it...yet.' Twilight pondered for a moment. "Hmm that is unfortunate." She Remembered the letter she had sent earlier. "Oh yes I sent a letter to Princess Celestia informing her of your situation. Maybe she can help you. Once I get a reply back from her" Princess Celestia?Luigi gave her a quizzical look. "Who is Princess Celestia?" Twilight mouth fell open as her face was now filled with shock and confusion. "You really aren't from around here. Princess Celestia is the ruler of Equestria alongside with her sister Princess Luna. Princess Celestia raises the sun and rules during the day while Princess Luna raises the moon and has the authority over night." Luigi now gave a shocked expression of his own. "Oh. wait bu-" Suddenly a loud *CRASH* sound was heard from the other room. "WAAAH" Luigi shouted as he started shaking. Twilight was already aware of who it could be. “Rainbow, we do have a door you know?" In the kitchen came a cyan colored mare with wings."Heh yeah sorry Twi. Anyway I was wo-" She paused when she noticed the green unicorn. She smirked and said "Hey Twi, Who’s this? Is he your coltfriend?" Luigi was confused by this term. 'Colt what?' Twilight's face turned red for a brief moment. "Of course not Rainbow, Fluttershy found him out cold in the Everfree forest this morning, and now he can't remember anything. I'm trying to help him recover his memory. Nothing more." Rainbow started laughing. "Heh, I was just pulling your leg Twi." She says looking over to the green unicorn. "What's up, my name is Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria! Whats your name?" 'Flying ponies as well, I'm jealous!' "Uh..Luigi, I'm that guy from that place that I can't remember." Rainbow arched an eyebrow at him. "Well if you're a friend of Twilight's, you’re alright in my book. But I'll be watching you." She said in a stern tone. "Anyway Rainbow, what brings you here at this hour?" Rainbow began rubbing the back of her head. "Well you see, I heard the new Daring Do book came out today. I was wondering if you had an extra copy?" Twilight smiled. "Oh yes It came earlier today, I left it in the spare bedroom, Spike could you please go and get it for me?" Spike who had been relatively quiet since they got to the table. "Uh… well funny story about that." "Spike did something happen to the book? Don't try to lie to me!" Twilight said in an authoritative tone. "Well you see, the thing is… Luigi and I kind of burned it." He said with a fake smile. "Awww..come on!" Rainbow Shouted. "You mean YOU burned it Spike! I'm disappointed in you for trying to direct blame on-" Luigi didn’t want to see Spike get in trouble so he spoke up. "Actually...It was me. You see when Spike tried to wake me up from my nap, I was having a bad dream. When he finally woke me up I suddenly launched this green fireball that singed my hat and that book you're looking for. It's the real reason I'm not wearing my hat. I'm sorry." He said sincerely. 'Ah ha! So that's what they were trying to hide from me.' She said in her head. "Well I certainly don't like my books being torched, nor do I like being lied to about it, but I do appreciate you telling me the truth. Spike your off the hook...this time." Spike breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "So Luigi you can cast pyro spells?" Twilight asked almost sounding impressed. "Uh...I guess." Luigi Responded not sharing the same enthusiasm. Twilight got Rainbow's attention. "I'm sorry about what happened to your copy, I'll let you know when we get another copy." "It's no problem Twi, I'll catch you later." Rainbow replies flying up to the green unicorn's face. "I'll be watching you buddy!" Cringing a bit. "D-duly noted." A few minutes after Rainbow left, Spike burped up what looked like a sealed scroll from his mouth. "Oh a reply from the princess! Quick Spike give it here!" Twilight says using her magic to open the scroll and beginning to read it. To My Most Faithful Student, I'm very sorry to hear about your friends apparent memory loss, I'm happy to hear that you wish to help him recover his lost memory. I wish you luck in your endeavors. He says that he was not a pony previously and instead he says he was once a human? I regret to inform you that I have little to no knowledge on the species called "Humans." I'll check the archives later when I get a chance to see if I can find any information that may benefit you and your friend. I'd like to request that you and your friend come to Canterlot so I may speak with him face to face. Unfortunately, my duties are going to keep me busy tomorrow so I would request that you both visit me in 2 days. I'll send a chariot to come pick you both up. I look forward to seeing you and your friend. Kindest regards, Princess Celestia "Alright excellent, Luigi the princess wants to see you in 2 days, make sure you're ready by then." Luigi was hardly paying any attention as his mind was elsewhere. "Oh, yeah, okey dokey!" "Anyway I think I'm done eating, Spike can you do dishes? I want to get some studying done tonight." "Alright Twilight, I’m on it." He groaned. "Luigi I think you should try to get some more sleep, I want you up early tomorrow so we can get your hat fixed up by my friend Rarity." 'Yes! No work!' "Alright sounds good, I thank you, good night Twilight, Spike." He heard Spike groaning and mumbling under his breath. "Lucky." "Good night, I'll see you in the morning!" Luigi heard Twilight say as he trotted up the stairs hoping not to fall once again. 'Princess huh? Why does that make an alarm go off in my head? Anyway I hope I don't have yet another one of those nightmares.' "What is my purpose? Am I really worthless..?" Author's Note Like I said chapters are going to come at a slower pace. Quality over Quantity. Thanks to NightShader for editing. Oh, I decided to add pictures to the story, I thought it was a cool idea, so I decided to try it. In my opinion it provides more illustration. Also added a dark tag for later chapters.
Chaper 3Chapter 3 "What that thing said to me, Am I really useless?" "NAY THOU ART NOT USELESS!" Came a familiar voice, but still just as loud as before, immediately startling the green unicorn. But this time he was able to see who was speaking with him. Luigi's eyes widened with mouth agape at the figure in front of him. "W-who are y-you?" His timid nature clearly showing. "Thou need not fear us, for we mean no harm to thee." She said in a much lower volume, this helped the green unicorn relax albeit a little. "We are Princess Luna, guardian of the night." 'Who's We? Wait, Princess Luna!? The same one Twilight mentioned earlier?' "U-um hello, c-can I ask how you're talking to me now? W-where am I? T-this isn't where I was sleeping." 'Unless I was sleep-walking.' "Thou art now asleep. You see we have the power to enter ones dreams and expel nightmares, Thou remember the one you had earlier?" Luigi took a minute to absorb the information he was just given. "O-okay I think I get it." 'I think.' "I-in that case t-thank you, C-can I ask what that thing wanted with me, and how it knew me?" Luna simply nodded her head. "We don't know what that thing was nor do we know how it knew thou. We are also worried how it was able to enter thy dream. It seemed to be using a different form of magic, We could not identify its magic signature." 'Magic signature?' "Hmm..what exactly is a magic signature?" The alicorn started to explain. "All magic leaves a magic signature, usually it can be identified but we have never seen a signature like that before." 'What?' "Okay I understand." He lied trying to make it look like he understood. "We are sorry we can not be much help, We will do thy best to aid thee in figuring out how that monstrosity got into your dream." She assured. Luigi looked into Luna's eye with a serious expression that is rarely seen on his face. "Not to mean any dis-respect princess, but why do you care?" Luna looked away and sighed. "We understand thy's inner pain." The green unicorn adopted a puzzled look, wanting her to elaborate more on the subject. "What are you talking about?" "Thou will now soon enough. I wish thee farewell for it is time for thou to wake up. We will meet again." She said flying away. 'We wish thee the best of luck in thy quest, remember thou art not useless, Thou will shine.' "Wait!" He said wanting to ask more questions and get the answers he desperately desires. To no avail. 'Every time sigh, this isn't going to become a theme is it?' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Will you get up, we're already running late as it is!" Twilight said with irritation clearly present in her voice. "Ahhh!" Luigi startled as he rolled onto the floor. "Okay okay I'm up! I think..ugh." "Good, know go hurry up and eat breakfast. We've got things that need to be done today." "Alright, alright." 'Miss bossy.' He made his way down stairs where he was greeted by Spike. "Hey Spike, is she always like that in the morning?" He said as he started eating. Spike chuckled to himself. "Yeah that's nothing, you should see how she gets when she gets a test from the Princess." "Oh, Wow really I feel sorry for you bro." 'bro, why does saying that make my heart start pounding' Spike started to make pointing gestures trying to warn him that Twilight was coming, The green unicorn being oblivious did not see or heed the warning. "Living with that must be difficult." "Hmhmm!" Luigi heard from behind. 'Oh no Twilight's behind me, isn't she?' "You were saying?" She said in an icy tone. Fearing his well-being. "Oh uh nothing, nothing at all!" "That's what I thought." She replied with satisfaction in her voice." Twilight sat sown and started to eat her breakfast. Regaining his bearings he started to think to himself while still eating. 'Okay that dream last night, What does that Princess know that I don't? My inner pain? What did she mean by that? I still have no idea what that thing that appeared in my dream before wanted with me or how it knew me, this is something I need to look into later but for know the only lead I have is Princess Luna, she definitely knows more than she is letting on, Oh also that vacuüm cleaner upstairs maybe something about that will help will jog my memories and maybe-' Seeing the green unicorn staring into space. "Equestria to Luigi, anypony home?" Snapping him out of his reverie. "Oh sorry, I guess I'm still a bit groggy." He feigned not wanting to cause unnecessary attention to himself. 'He is definitely hiding something from me, this is the second time he has done this, I'll have to investigate into this later' "Oh alright, If your done we should get going to get your hat fixed." "Okey Dokey." Content with the subject not being dragged further made his way to the door. "Spike I'll be gone for about an hour, can you tidy up the library while I'm gone?" Spike groaned to himself. "As always..", Sure Twi, no problem." "Thanks Spike I left some bits on the counter for you, after your done why don't you go pick up some cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner." This seemed to perk Spike up a bit. "Okay thanks Twi." 'Sugarcube corner' "Oh no, I forgot to go back there yesterday!" He shouted startling Twilight and Spike. Twilight grimaced at this. "You didn't 'Pinkie promise' did you?" The Green unicorn gave her a quizzical look. "Um no, I can't anyway since I don't have opposable thumbs." Twilight face-hoofed. 'What's is he talking about.' "Allow me to be more concise, did you 'Pinkie Pie' promise?" Giving a very confused look, he tilted his head and replied "Uh no?" 'What's a "Pinkie Pie" promise? Something tells me that I don't want to know. Especially if it involves that hyperactive pink pony. The lavender unicorn breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you should be fine....I think. Just don't forget to apologize." "Okey dokey, will do, letsa go. 'Again I say that and my heart starts pounding, why? Any way what does she mean by "I think." Oh well I go apologize and problem solved right? What could possibly go wrong?' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As they were trotting along he noticed other ponies giving him a weird look. 'Do I have something on my face?' He thought to himself. "Oh I forgot there was a question I wanted to ask yesterday before Rainbow interrupted." 'This guy forgets everything..' "I'm listening?" "What are these uh pictures on everyone's uh flank?" He asked with a degree of caution. "Oh those are our cutie marks." She stated as matter of factly. "These represent our special talents, they appear once a pony discovers their special talent. For example my special talent is magic." She finished. 'Seriously "cutie marks." Well what do expect from a world of pastel colored talking ponies?' "Interesting." Looking at his flank to the picture of a mallet. "Wait my special talent is mallets...?" "Well maybe you're good working with mallets or maybe building stuff, who knows." Twilight suggested. 'Well as long as I am not something lame like a plumber or something.' He stated in his head. "Oh look there it is the Carousel Boutique." Twilight said pointing with her hoof. 'Seriously, "Carousel Boutique." What's next? A town called Manehattan?' He laughed to himself at the thought. Twilight already at the front door. She knocks on the door gently with her hoof. "Rarity, It's me Twilight. Do you have a minute?" "Coooooming!" Echoed a refined feminine voice from inside. Not more than a minute later the door opened revealing an alabaster unicorn mare. "Twilight darling, what can I do for..Oh who's your friend?" She said winking at Twilight. Blushing slightly, she regained her composure and spoke. "Rarity this is Luigi." Sighing to herself 'Cue monologue.' "Fluttershy found him unconscious yesterday in the Everfree forest and he can't seem to remember how he got there; I'm trying to help him regain his memory." Rarity turned her attention to the green unicorn in question. "Oh you poor dear, Is there anything I can do to help?" "Yes, we were wondering if you'd be willing to fix up his hat?" 'my precious book! sniff..' "Oh, dear..that hat is hideous, why it's simply a crime against fashion." She said in a melodramatic tone. Luigi offended by this. "Hey! It's not a-" Seeing where this was going Twilight interrupted. "Rarity please just fix it up anyway?" Sighing in resignation. "Oh alright, give it here darling, I'll have it ready later. Pleased with her answer. "Thank you we'll be back la-" Twilight started before being interrupted by Spike. Exhausted from running. "Pinkie..Sugarcube corner...pies-" Before he could finish a pie from out of nowhere struck the green unicorn in the face. 'Aww..I hate cherry, at least toss something good at me like blueberry.' He wiped the excess of pie off his face. "Mr.Party forgetter meanie pants!" Pinkie came running with a pouting face. Rarity gasped. "Skipping a Pinkie Pie party? How uncouth." She said while giving the green unicorn an incredulous look. Feeling awkward. "Oh, uh sorry...I forgot..heh..heh." From out of no where Pinkie withdrew two pies ready to toss them at Luigi. Spike spoke up. "Run Luigi Run!" He yelled in dramatic tone. "Okey dokey!" He began to run way from his assailant. "Get back here you meanie Mcmeanie pants party forgetter!" She shouted as she started her pursuit after him. Twilight sighed. 'This can't end soon.' "I'll go stop this before this gets out of hand. Rarity thanks again for agreeing to fix up his hat I'll let him know to pick it up later." "Think nothing of it darling, I'll have it fixed in a jiffy, even though I still think that hat is hideous." The alabaster unicorn than gave a smirk to Twilight. "Oh and if you need some advice I'm here for you." Giving the lavender unicorn a suggestive wink. "Ta-ta for know." 'Will she stop doing that. ugh' "Bye Rarity." 'No to go stop those 3 from destroying the whole town, what have I got myself into.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Huff...all right I think we lost her." Luigi said as they took refuge in a nearby alley to catch their breath. Spike cast a slight glare at the green unicorn,"Huff..Please for our sakes can you please stop forgetting everything, and honestly why am I running? I didn't even do anything." "Well excuse m-" He was cut off as Pinkie Pie popped up right behind them. "There you are Mr.party forgetter!" She declared as she withdrew two more pies out of now where. 'How does she keep doing that?' Finally conceding in defeat as any effort to run away would be futile. "Okay okay I'm...sorry I forgot to come back yesterday, I just got to distracted and it slipped my mind. Please spare me!" He finished while holding his hooves in front of his face from the impending pastry assault. She glared at him for a few second before her face did a 180, turning from a glare to broad smile. "Okii doki loki! Why didn't you just say that before silly? 'Am I being spared?' With a degree of caution he spoke. "H-huh?" "I'll just throw your 'Welcome to Ponyville' tonight and I'll invite everypony." She started bouncing happily. Spike also happy from being spared form the pastries of doom chimed in. "He'll even 'Pinkie Promise' on it." Luigi hearing this. "Huh, I will?" Spike giving the green unicorn a slight glare. "Yes you will! Just repeat after me." Slightly intimidated at Spike's glare. "O-okey dokey?" The purple dragon started. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." "Ow!" Luigi said as he poked his eye with his hoof. A certain lavender unicorn finally caught to the 3 in question. "What's going on here?" "It's alright Twi everything is good know, the crisis averted." Spike assured. 'Already, for anything involving Pinkie, this is a new record!' She thought to herself. "Yep oruni everything is great! I''ll see you later! I have a party to plan! I'll see you three tonight! She yelled as she started bouncing happily away. Twilight smiling slightly. "Oh right Luigi don't forget to pick up your hat latter, and I emphasize please don't forget!" "No more PIES!" He blurted out. 'Oh no I think Pinkie traumatized him for life.' "Will you calm down, your fine! Any way since your hat will not be done for a couple of hours and I'm pretty sure a party awaits your imminent future, let's head back to the library for now. I'll help you practice your magic, I want to see how strong it is." She finally finished. "Uh I don't know...." He said with reluctance clear in his voice. Twilight gave him a deadpanned look. "Oh you'll be fine, what could possibly go wrong? 'Oh no did she really just say that...?' He conceded. "O-okay." 'This will end badly.' The lavender unicorn satisfied with his answer. "Alright let's get going, come on Spike." "Please save me..coming." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at the library. Getting the green unicorn's attention "Alright lets start with something simple, we'll start with basic levitation." She said with a hint of enthusiasm. Luigi obviously not sharing the same enthusiasm. "Uh..okay if you say so." Spike sitting beside Twilight deciding to spectate. "Alright first, relax your muscles, and remember to stay calm and just let the magic flow." The lavender unicorn instructed. Trying his best to obey closes his eyes. He then began to breathe in and out. His horn began to glow with a dark green aura. Happy with the progress so far."Alright your doing very well so far! Okay, now focus your magic on this book and imagine it floating." He turned his attention to the book in question and focused his magic on it. The book became cloaked in a green aura; It began floating into the air. Twilight clapped her hooves together with glee. "That's it, excellent job!" Luigi smirking to himself and blushing slightly at the compliment. He lost his concentration as the book began shaking still encased in the green aura catapulted and hit Spike right dead center in the face. "Spike! Are you alright!" She shouted worriedly at her assistant. Laying dazed on the floor for a few minutes before speaking up. "Note to self, stay clear of him when ever he uses any magic!" Luigi attempting to stifle a laugh but failing miserably. "Heh..uh sorry." Glaring at Luigi to get him to stop laughing "Sigh oh Spike." She then got the green unicorn's attention. "You did pretty good but next time remember to stay focused." "Duly noted." 'Still it's nice it wasn't me getting hit for once, that's something right?' "Alright that's enough with levitation for know let's try another simple spell, let's try illumination." Wanting to be finished. "Can we do it later, I just want to sit and relax for a bit." Spike grinning at the thought. "I'm with you on that buddy!" "Ugh you two, no time to relax when there is stuff to be done! Come on and stop complaining and let's get this done." Spike whispered to Luigi. "She's always like this just do it and save yourself the headache." The green unicorn grinning a bit. "Will do." "What was that you two?" The purple dragon panicking a bit, "Oh nothing just wishing him good luck with his magic." He lied. 'Honestly again how dumb do they think I am?' "Alright Luigi the illumination spell is as simple as levitation just focus your magic through your horn and imagine a bright light." "Okay here goes." He began to focus his magic through his horn, but all that came out was a couple of sparks. "It's okay just try again and remember to focus." Twilight encouraged. Attempting once again but once again nothing but a few sparks came out. "Huff..." He began to sweat a bit until finally his horn began to glow again. "Good, just a little more." She encouraged again Keeping his focus this time, his horn's glow began to gleam as it became brighter and brighter until..he lost his focus with an immense flash of light temporarily impeding both Spike and Twilight's eyesight. "Ahhh..I can't see." Complained Spike. "Alright I'm serious I'm staying away from you any time you decide to use magic, it's always me on the receiving end..sigh." Breaking out of her temporary daze. "That wasn't a illumination spell, Regardless you did very well with a little practice perhaps you can put that light spell to some practical use." "Uh..thanks I guess." 'My head hurts.' He groaned to himself. Looking at the time."Alright that's enough practice for today, it's time to leave for the surprise party anyway." "Okay, just please no more PIES!" 'I'm gonna have fun with that in the future' "Oh you'll be fine. Come on Luigi, Spike you can come to if you'd like." Spike perked up. "Well what are we waiting for let's get going already!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 3 arrived at Sugarcube corner. Before entering the lavender unicorn spoke "All right Luigi, Even though you know what's going to happen just pretend to act surprised alright? Trust me on this." The green unicorn nodded in confirmation. "Okey dokey." Twilight opening the door with her magic, They all entered in unison. 3.... 2... 1... SURPRISE!!! Even though he was expecting it the green unicorn yelped and jumped several feet into the air clinging on to the chandelier that was hanging above shaking in fear. Twilight facehoofed and used her magic and levitated him back to the ground. Spike just laughed at his humiliation. Not being able to regain his composure Pinkie jumped in front of him. "SO WERE YOU SURPRISED!? WERE YOU? WERE YOU?" She shouted while jumping up down repeatedly. "U-uhh..yes you could say that." He replied while still shaking a bit. "There's cake and punch! Oh do you like games? Do yo-" She was silenced by an orange earth pony mare. "Ah' think he gits it sugar cube." She turned her attention to the green unicorn. "Howdy pardner the names Applejack, AJ fer short, glad to metcha." She said extending her hoof out in greeting. He accepted the greeting. "M-my name is Luigi, n-nice to meet you." His timid nature showing once again. "Don't worry sugarcube, ah don't bite." She chuckled. "So what's yer story sugarcube? How'd yeh end up 'ere in Ponyville?" 'Ugh cue monologue again' Twilight groaned to herself. "Yesterday Fluttershy found him out cold in the Everfree forest and he has no memory of how he ended up there, I'm attempting to help him recover his memory." 'Please be the last time I have to say this.' AJ frowned. "Ah'm sorry to here that sugarcube, tell ya what come by to Sweet Apple Acres sometime and ah show ya around." The green unicorn calmed down a bit. "U-uh sure that sounds great." AJ grinned. "Sounds good sugarcube, now enough standing around git going enjoy yer party." Luigi smiling slightly. "Will do thanks AJ." He went to start mingling with the other ponies not making much conversation his natural timid nature made it slightly difficult for him. He made his way to the punch bowl to get some punch, he began to practice his magic on a cup, that is until a certain alabaster unicorn mare trotted up to him breaking his focus on the cup. "Ah there you are darling, I fixed up your hat good as new." She smiled as she floated the hat in question onto his head. "Even though it's still hideous." "Oh thanks a lot looks great. I'm sorry but I don't have any money and..." She waved a hoof at him dismissively. "Nonsense darling, you don't owe me a thing." "Oh that's generous of you, Thank you." He said with sincerity. "It was no trouble darling, Do come by if you require my services again." She said with a smile. "Oh also come if want to seek some advice. Ta-ta" She said giving him a wink as she walked away. 'What was that wink about eh whatever? Time to enjoy the party I guess. The rest of the party was mostly uneventful aside from Luigi burning his tongue from drinking hot sauce flavored punch which caused quite a bit of laughter at his expense especially from Rainbow Dash. After a few hours everypony started to head home. "Well that was some party Pinkie I had fun." Twilight said smiling to her friend. "Well I think it's time we headed back." "No problem Twilight! See you later!" Pinkie said bouncing up and down. Spike fell asleep long ago in the punch bowl. Twilight Smirked as she levitated him onto her back. "Come on Luigi lets head back we have to be up early tomorrow for our meeting with the Princess." "Okey dokey, let's get going. Bye Pinkie thanks for the party. 'Phew no pies.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The walk back to the library was mad in relative silence. Once inside Twilight finally spoke up. "Well try to get a good night sleep, our day is going to be busy tomorrow." 'How many times is she going to remind me.' "Alright good night I guess." He trotted up the stairs and laid down in bed awaiting sleeps comfortable embrace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In an unknown place "Alright boss we've located him, shall we go after him now?" "HEHEHE no not tonight. Let him squirm for a little while longer. It's something I rather enjoy watching. HEHEH!" "Yes boss as you wish." Said the minion. "Tomorrow we strike, let him meet with this princess it will change NOTHING! HEHE!" "Yes boss!" All the minions shouted in unison. The boss turning his attention to a painting. "Awww don't worry your brother will be joining you real soon I can't wait! HEHEH!" "Soon you will pay LUIGI! I will personally enjoy watching you suffer! I will make it slow and painful! HEHE!" Author's Note I really think I've made Luigi to OOC and I'm also not making use of that comedy tag, which is a shame considering the fact Luigi has a lot of "comic potential" I'll have to remedy that. I also think I'm going to slow with the progression of the story. I realized I focused to much on emphasis and description rather than the actual story itself which makes for a boring read especially in a part comedy fiction, I'm fixing that problem next chapter. Opinions on these thoughts would be appreciated. I made the chapter slightly longer than usual to progress through the rest of the introductions. So starting next chapter is where the action finally begins. Oh and let me know If I missed any major errors.
Chapter 4: We have a problem.Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
