Songs from the Heart

By: AngolMoaChan

Chapter 3



Pairing: LuigixDaisy (again…)

Genre-Fluff

Song: “Mr. Cellophane” by Amos in Chicago





If someone stood up in a crowd,

Raised his voice up loud

And waved his arm and shook his leg

You'd notice him.





Mr. Cellophane. That might as well be my nickname. I'm just the bubble wrap around the more important package.



If someone went to a picture show,

And said “FIRE! In the second row! This whole place is a powder keg!”

You'd notice him.



Ever since I was born, people would coo with delight over my older brother. Me? It was like I wasn't even there. Okay, so maybe I had a bit of a twisted humor. But still. I was cute too. People gasped when he would say, “Thank you very much!” in his cute little accent. They would just laugh when I would say, “Woohoo!”



And even without clucking like a hen

Everyone gets noticed now and then

Unless of course the person it should be

Invisible, inconsequential

Me





Even now, no matter how hard I try, Mario is always better than me. He even got a girlfriend before I did! Peach. I had a huge crush on her, and he took her out from under my nose.



Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane

Should've been my name, Mr. Cellophane

Cause you can look right through me

Walk right by me

And never know I'm there





It's like I'm invisible or something. All the girls go straight to Mario. And not just the girls. Maybe I want to tell someone about my adventures and MY friends. Instead, they always ask Mario, “Oh! How's Vivian?” or something like that.



Suppose you were a little cat

Residing in a little flat

Who fed you fish and scratched your ears.

You'd notice them.





I figured at least SHE would notice me. My not-so-subtle hints at my crush on her. But no. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't know who I was.



Suppose you were a woman wed

Sleeping in a double bed

Next to the same man for seven years!

You'd notice him.



But, I still say hello to her every morning, just to be hopeful. Sometime she notices and waves to me. Other times she doesn't. I wait patiently for that one day…



A human being's made of more than air

With all that bulk you are bound to see him there

Unless of course that person next to you

Is incomprehensible, undistinguishable

You know who.





“Good morning, Luigi!” Daisy said, happily at me. I think I'm going to faint.





I love that movie! Chicago was one of my favorite movies, for sure. I love that song too. It was perfect for Luigi, who is Mr. Cellophane. It's funny how that works.



“I have the fury, but sometimes the fury has me.”

--Fawful, Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time
