Luigi gently creaked open the door and peeked out into the hall. He could see Mario now lying on the sofa, reading a book.
"Okay... Time to talk with Mario..." Luigi told himself.
Diamond poked her head out next to Luigi's.
"Sounds fun~!" Diamond chimed.
Luigi let out a yelp of surprise and flinched as Nastasia and Ruby both went beside Diamond, Nastasia placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Trust me, no," Nastasia stated.
"I-it's not gonna be fun... Might be dangerous even..." Luigi murmured.
Diamond narrowed her eyes.
"Do we need to engage in combat..?" Diamond questioned while some kind of aura started to surge in her hands.
"I can take him," Ruby replied, a power glove appearing on her fist.
Luigi quickly grabbed Diamond's wrists and Nastasia grabbed Ruby's, only for Ruby to jerk her hands away with a glare.
"You guys are acting like you were made yesterday! Why would we attack him, he's reading a book!" Nastasia retorted.
"I-I didn't mean ACTUALLY dangerous!" Luigi exclaimed, "Just... please stay over here until I come to get you."
Luigi sighed and then started into the living room.
"H-hey Mario!" Luigi started, "Was your nap aliri-"
"Okay, what happened with the gem?" Mario asked, setting down his book.
Luigi was taken aback by Mario's immediate accusation.
"H-how did you know I took the gem?!" Luigi exclaimed.
"You're my brother." Mario stated, "So, what happened with it? Was there a spirit trapped inside? A curse on it? Some kind of weapon or mind-control device contained in it?"
"Er, no," Luigi replied.
"Okay, then what's the problem?" Mario asked.
Luigi took a deep breath as he figured out how to word what he wanted to say.
"There was kinda a spirit trapped inside, I guess?" Luigi replied.
Mario narrowed his eyes.
"You didn't summon Dimentio back from the dead, right?" Mario questioned with an edge to his voice.
"No, no! Not Dimentio! It's not even a guy..." Luigi trailed off.
Mario raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What is that supposed to mean..?" Mario asked.
Luigi sighed.
"Diamond!" Luigi called.
Yellow Diamond flung open the door and walked over to the two brothers, bowing to them when she arrived.
"Yellow Diamond." She introduced, "But you may call me Diamond~!"
"Luigi, why is she named after a rock?" Mario asked.
"Rude." Diamond replied.
"She actually IS a diamond, Mario." Luigi explained, "That gem on her body, is her actual form."
Mario nodded as if he understood.
"Why did Dimentio have it then?" Mario queried.
"I-I don't know..." Luigi admitted, "Diamond, do YOU know why..?"
