They decided to head back to the picnic to say goodbye to everyone for the day, but they both secretly wanted to hang out more. Aria said her goodbyes to the citizens and her friends before making her way over to grab her tennis racquet and bag. Aria packed her stuff when she felt a little drop hit her nose. Oh no...before she could even look up she felt heavy rain hit her body. Within a couple seconds she was soaked. "God dammit," she whispered. She had declined a ride from Princess Peach because the weather had looked so nice earlier, she wanted to walk to the castle. She definitely couldn't walk for very long in this, but she might have no choice. She looked around to see Waluigi getting onto his motorcycle. She called out to him and luckily caught his attention, despite how loud the rain was. She ran over, her hair straightened and slicked with water. "Hey Waluigi, can I possibly get a ride with you? I don't have one," she asked, hoping he'd say yes.

"Yeah sure, I don't know if I can make it to your house and then to mine in this rain, but I can take you to my house if you want," he offered. She was just happy that he offered her a ride to any house really. She thanked him profusely and he pointed his thumb behind him. "Get on princess," she hopped on back and he turned around and gave her his helmet. She smiled at his kind gesture and wrapped her arms around his waist. This gave him butterflies, it confused him. Why was he reacting so sensitively to her touch? He felt her head lay on his back, as she tried to shield it from any more rain. Even in the rain, he felt warm due to her embrace. Even though it was just so she wouldn't fly off, he took comfort in it. She squeezed her arms tighter and felt his thin stomach, and focused on how his chest expanded when he breathed. It rocked her head gently, tempting her to fall asleep, but the harsh rain kept her awake. Once they made it to his house they rushed inside, soaking wet.

"Hey what took you so long?" Wario called from the living room. They both walked inside and closed the door. "Weather turned to shit huh? Hahah," Wario spoke mindlessly, his eyes glued to the T.V. Aria let out a little sneeze and Wario squinted his eyes. That didn't sound like Walu, he thought. He turned around to see the two of them, completely drenched. "WAHAHA!" Wario burst out into laughter and grabbed at his belly. "Never thought I'd see the day you made a girl wet Walu!" Wario went into another round of laughter at his own stupid joke. Aria went completely red with embarrassment but Waluigi just scowled. He walked up to his brother and wacked him upside the head. This turned into a pitiful brother quarrel until Aria spoke up.

"Oi! I'm sorry to break up the battle but these clothes are really cold," Aria shivered helplessly. Wario just smirked at Waluigi, knowing that she had no choice to borrow his clothes, considering Wario's definitely wouldn't fit. Waluigi grabbed Aria and led her to his bedroom to grab some dry clothes. He grumbled to himself along the way, as if trying to argue with his brother in his mind. He let her use the shower to warm herself up. She walked back into his room with the towel held loosely around her. She understood that it was awkward for humans to be naked in front of each other in most situations, even though it was hard to believe. Nymphs in the Floating Islands were usually naked, bathing in the waterfalls among friends. It was freeing. Waluigi turned to face her and his eyes opened wide. He turned his face away from her again in order to hide the blush on his face and hastily rummaged through his drawers for some clothes. She borrowed his turtleneck purple shirt and a pair of boxer shorts to sleep in. It was a little odd to wear his clothing, it was a little long.

"I'm dressed!" She called out to him. He walked back in but still found it hard to look at her. She had no bra so he could clearly see her nipples poking through the thin material. "I still don't understand why humans are so weird about exposing themselves to one another, why is it so embarrassing?" She asked.

"Well, it's just usually something you do for people you care about or are comfortable with, like friends or loved ones," Waluigi tried his best to explain, "It makes it special I guess," he added.

"But we're friends right? So can't I be naked around you?" She was so confused.

"I-a-well it's a little different because you're a girl and I'm a guy, so it's not like a locker room situation or something like that," Waluigi stuttered.

"What does you being a boy have to do with it?" She asked.

"W-well uhh it's because that usually makes it more of a romantic thing I guess? Like a guy would usually take that as a sign that the girl likes them. Look princess, I like to see a good body as much as the next guy, but it sends a different message over here," he explained. She tried to see it from that point of view. He thought her body was beautiful? She'd never really had anyone say that to her before. Most nymphs were too busy admiring their own to really notice someone else's.

"I guess people back home are just more open about that kind of thing, we're very touchy people. But I guess that can be taken as being flirtatious around here," she thought out loud. Waluigi thought of the times she grabbed his hand, winked at him, and hugged him. So I guess it was just friendly gestures. He couldn't understand why that disappointed him. He finally had a friend, so why did those gestures make a difference to him? He shook off the feeling and got ready for bed as well. He put on some sweatpants and took off his shirt. Aria couldn't help but look at his lean body. She stared at his slender figure and felt her face heat up. She had seen guys in more revealing situations than this, but she had never felt this affected by it. Maybe she was getting sick from the cold. Waluigi noticed her stare and smirked.

"Admiring my body?" he teased.

"Yeah," she replied without even thinking.

"Wah? I-uh oh, ok," he wasn't expecting her to answer that way, he was sure that she'd yell at him or something.

"Huh?" Aria had just realized what she said and tried to save the situation, "well you have a really nice body, you're very handsome," she said confidently. It wasn't odd for her to compliment someone, but she forgot that these compliments could be taken differently here. Waluigi was shocked. She thought he was handsome? "That's why I winked at you the other day, I wanted to let you know you looked good," she admitted. 'How could she say this so effortlessly' he thought. It was like she was having a normal conversation with someone, like she didn't find it weird at all to compliment someone on something so intimate.

"Thank you," he said. It was all he really could think of to say. He tried to replicate her confidence but it was obvious that this was new and scary to him, "I like your body too, I think you look very pretty..." she took it as an everyday compliment like she would back home and smiled. "You can sleep in my bed, I'll sleep on the couch for tonight," Waluigi said. She felt bad, thinking about him sleeping on the couch and stopped him.

"This is your house Waluigi, you can sleep in your own bed with me, I don't mind," she said. 'Surely humans didn't mind doing this together too, right?' she thought.

"Are you sure?" he asked cautiously. 'Maybe it is something they are also not comfortable with' she thought. She didn't care though, the human would have to get over it. She giggled and patted the space next her. He crawled into bed next to her and got comfy, making sure he didn't get too close. He didn't want to scare her away or creep her out. She faced him and slowly but surely her eyes fluttered closed, and her face rested into an angelic expression. It was so innocent looking. All Waluigi wanted to do was reach over and touch her face, he bet it was as smooth as porcelain. A small smile creeped on his face and he too, slowly drifted off to sleep.
