Night Horror

Chapter 18

Weeks had passed and everyone knew of Violet's amazing victory over Phantom Boo. Everyone was treating her like a super star after she had recovered. She never let it get to her head. She just kept Luigi close. Luigi blushed. It wasn't like he minded. It was quite clear to everyone that the girls just as much as a heroes like anyone of the boys were.

Mike had gotten Luigi's old house as a place to stay. He trained everyday with his Psymanna. Violet trained with him constantly.

"Can't let you have all of the fun." Mike teased.

Violet raised an eyebrow as she half teased, "You call that fun? I call that torture."

Mike decided to approach a sensitive subject. "What did happen while you were up in the Master Suite?"

Violet shook her head. That was one subject that she wasn't able to talk about.

Not now. And definitely not later.

...

Back at the castle, Mario and Cappy had decided to visit Peach and Tiara. Daisy had gone on home for the time being. She was getting ready for her own wedding to Peasley after all. Cappy and Tiara had went off into the game room. Tiara had finally figured out how to play pool and wanted to teach her brother. It left the two of them all alone and it was awkward to the man in red. He was about to say something to her when she spoke first.

She softly stated, "I'm sorry..."

Mario almost did a double take on that one. "Wait... sorry for what?"

Peach raised an eyebrow. "Do I have to be specific here?"

Mario shook his head, "No..." He looked at her and added, "Look, I know that you are sorry. I am too. But maybe we can start again on this whole relationship thing?"

Peach frowned, "The entire relationship?"

Mario nodded, "Yeah, just start from scratch. And this time: we mean everything we say. And we tell each other the truth."

Peach had to admit that was a better idea than just rushing into a bad marriage.

She asked him, "But how do we start this over?"

Mario put up one finger, turning his back to her for a moment. He turned back around and pretended that he was meeting her for the first time.

He teased, "Hello, I'm Mario Gregory Manfredi Junior. And I like you."

Peach giggled as she added, "Greetings to you Mario. I'm Princess Peach Blossom Toadstool. And I like you."

To that, Mario smiled wide.

...

Luigi was with Elvin. He had just finished everything. The valley was secured yet again and all of the ghosts that everyone had captured at some point was locked away in a super safe. Spettro and Calico were with Luigi.

Spettro asked, (How does it feel? Being on this side rather than that one?)

Calico answered, {I rather like being on this side. It has many good friends.}

Spettro smiled at Calico. He liked having a friend around.

Elvin told Luigi, "This place will be under guard 24/7. There's no way they can get out ever again."

Luigi felt his Thunderhand activating as he saw Phantom Boo. Luigi calmed himself down a bit, deactivating it.

"For Violet's sake... let's hope not." Luigi stated.

...

That evening, Luigi and Violet were alone. Luigi borrowed back his ring and got down on one knee.

He brought out the engagement ring and asked her properly, "Will you marry me?"

Violet smiled as she answered, "Yes! Yes I will!"

Luigi got to his feet as he placed the ring onto her finger. He kissed her embraced and kissed her happily.
