61Yay! I updated! :D Points for me!
It was a beautiful day in the kingdom of Sarasa, the King (who is too awesome to have a name in this fan fiction) was sitting at the large royal dining table which consisted of him at the head of the table the rest empty. He preferred his alone time so didn't mind the silence, the ticking clock on the wall his only companion, humming cheerfully as he read his newspaper, which was pretty much his favorite thing to do besides golfing, and drinking tons of black coffee.
The King reached the sports section of the paper and then with great earnest found the date of the next big football game when the door opened. He casually glanced up and screamed aloud in horror.
The figure screamed back in surprise then blinked, "Um Dad? It's me."
The King stared at the creature that just informed him that it was his daughter and his mouth gaped open, "Daisy?"
The girl grinned from beneath the mask of dirt on her face. Daisy was a mess. Her hair was hanging in a tangled clump from her loose ponytail and she was covered in scratches, all over her arms and one across her cheek. The princess didn't seem to notice her state of disarray and tossed the soccer ball that was in her arms into the air, caught it, and then tossed it up again.
"Will you drop that please?" The King groaned.
Daisy frowned and caught the ball midair, "What?"
"Why do you look so…so…dirty?"
She gave him an annoyed look, "Dad, soccer match? Remember?"
"Could you at least try and not return home in that state." Her father scowled, "You're ruining the carpet."
"Oopsie." Daisy said sheepishly when she noticed the clumped mud on her shoes.
"Bath now." The King commanded, casting a stern look her way.
Daisy just shrugged and jogged out of the room.
00oo00oo00oo00
After a cozy bubble bath Daisy jumped on her bed and wrapped the warm sheets around her and reached for her phone. She pressed some buttons and leaned back into her pillow, phone at her ear. The phone beeped after she dialed then: "Hello?"
"Heya Peach." Daisy said cheerfully into the phone.
"Daisy, how are you?"
"I'm okay, just got back from the game. We beat them down good!"
"That sounds…nice."
"Yeah." Daisy said, "It was pretty sweet."
"Will you be coming over tomorrow?" Peach asked.
"Eh, I don't know. You make way too much cake, can't you ever have a barbeque or something?" Daisy sighed. It was true, Peach made way too much cake, and Daisy ended up eating too much and getting sick. Sometimes she wondered if Peach tried to poison her, she never seemed to eat any of the cake herself.
Peach paused then, "Mario's brother will be there."
"Luigi?" Daisy sat up in bed, ear pressed to the phone.
"Yes, I believe that is his name. They will be arriving at noon tomorrow."
Daisy had to hold back a squeal of excitement. Luigi was always fun to hang out with and he was an absolute sweet heart. Never had she met a man as unique and kind as Luigi, besides Mario of course, but Luigi was like a quadrillion times better! Luigi also had a cute way of blushing to his ears when she talked to him, which made her giggle every time.
"I'll be there." Daisy said quickly, "Just try and lay down on the cake this time, aye Peachy?"
"Sure thing." Peach laughed.
00oo00oo00oo00
After slipping on her usual yellow dress, as the dress code permitted, Daisy lounged bored on the couch of the main sitting room, waiting for any glimpse of a green plumber. So far all she saw however were toads, koopas, and other creatures she wasn't sure what they were called, and absolutely no humans beside herself.
Finally the double doors opened and everyone turned expectantly towards the entrance as the brothers entered, Peach stepping forward to welcome them warmly, her eyes mostly on Mario. Luigi had his eyes peering past the pink princess, scanning the room; he then met Daisy's eyes and as usual, turned a lovely shade of pink that put Peach's dress to shame.
Why hello, Daisy thought gleefully.
Daisy stepped towards Luigi who looked around quickly, like he was preparing to flee the scene. It was too late however and the madly blushing plumber was face to face with the Sarasa Princess.
"Luigi." Daisy said sweetly, "How are you?"
"D-daisy…I-I'm-fine." The man stuttered.
"So…want to do something?" Daisy said, "This place is kind of boring, so we may have to use our imagination."
Luigi opened his mouth to respond but was silenced by the door opening again, this time with a crowd gossip to accompany it, everyone looking at the figure who had just entered the room.
Luigi gawked at the girl as she stepped into the room, her dark chocolate colored heels clicking in a way that was almost commanding. She wore a delicate airy looking gown that flowed down to her ankles, looking like spun sugar, a flowing sparkling brown garment with black bows along the sides and bottoms. The girl's brunette hair was in a tight bun on her head, a few strands curling down to her shoulders. A silver circlet adorned her head, a small swirl in the middle that reminded Daisy faintly of a cinnabon, the same pattern on the necklace around her neck.
"Éclair?" Luigi murmured, Daisy giving him a confused look. Who was this Éclair?
Peach approached the woman with a smile, "Welcome Éclair! I hope your travels were pleasant."
Éclair smiled lightly, "It could have been better, the carriage ride was a bit bumpier than usual. I suppose I can try and enjoy myself here." It was at that time that she glanced towards where Luigi and Daisy stood.
Daisy raised an eyebrow and glanced at Luigi who stared stupidly, as the girl approached.
Soon they were face-to-face, Éclair looking Daisy up and down, a look of distaste on her face, "Who might you be?" Éclair asked tightly.
Daisy gave her an irritated look, "I'm Princess Daisy of Sarasaland."
"And I Princess Éclair." The girl replied, eyes narrowed.
"Wonderful." Daisy said with unconcealed sarcasm and grabbed onto Luigi's arm, "Come on Lou, let's go outside, I need some air."
Éclair quickly grabbed onto Luigi's other arm, "That sounds like a fantastic idea Daffodil, I'll accompany you."
"Daisy." Daisy grumbled.
"That's what I said," Éclair said pleasantly.
Suddenly the princess grabbed onto Luigi and began walking, Daisy who had her grip on Luigi's other arm squeaked in surprise as she began stumbling after them, "Hey!"
00oo00oo00oo00
Soon they were outside, the sun shining down brightly, big white clouds in the sky. Even the creepy hills with eyes in the distance seemed to be smiling, or something like that, it was kind of hard to tell with the whole non existent mouth thing, but everybody else was pretty happy, except a certain princess however.
The minute they had stepped outside, Éclair opened her mouth and began talking to Luigi, blabbing a mile a minute, and Daisy found it was impossible for her to say anything to Luigi whilst Eclair had his attention.
Daisy, annoyed, wandered to the edge of the large in ground pool nearby, looking down at the crystal blue waters at her reflection, which showed a very unhappy girl.
She's ruining everything! Daisy thought angrily, this was supposed to be a day for me and Luigi to spend together; just the two of us, on one else!
"I missed you so much Luigi." Éclair purred to the man who was blushing furiously at the attention, "The kingdom was so dull without your heroic presence."
Daisy rolled her eyes and decided then that enough was enough. It was time to get Luigi back!
She quickly grabbed onto Luigi's arm and pulled him her way, and out of Éclair's grasp. Luigi blinked at Daisy who smiled brightly, "Come on Lou, let's go get something to eat, I'm famished."
Daisy dragged a startled Luigi back inside, leaving a simmering Éclair behind.
00oo00oo00oo00
Daisy forked a pig in a blanket, which is like a tiny hotdog wrapped in a croissant, onto her plate and followed Luigi to a table.
Luigi had a plate with a small amount of grapes and a lemon wedge, far too nervous to eat in front of a girl, having very little experience with these sort of things (Yes he is not a stud he is the sweet green guy we all love :D).
Daisy smiled at him, tucking a strand of hair behind an ear, "You look stunning in that suit Luigi, did you get dressed up for me?"
Luigi stuttered something unintelligible and loosened his tie, perspiration dotting his forehead.
"There you are darling!" The voice of pure feminine evil.
Daisy turned to glare at the girl who approached their table, "What do you want?"
Éclair ignored her and smiled at Luigi who stared, "Eating? Parties are for dancing." She held out a slender bejeweled hand to Luigi, "Shall we?"
Daisy opened her mouth but Éclair had already swooped Luigi away onto the dance floor.
"Gah! The nerve." Daisy grumbled aloud, though she wasn't heard as the music's volume suddenly rose. She glared towards the hired DJ who returned her look with one of confusion. Daisy scowled and started towards Éclair who was practically pressed up onto Luigi who looked ready to faint, her arms wrapped around his shoulders.
I saw him first! Daisy thought angrily, this bitch is going down!
Luigi suddenly found himself in Daisy's arms. She gave him a wide grin as they spinned around to the music, and he relaxed slightly, that was until he was tugged into the arms of another and spun around faster. This continued, Daisy, Éclair, Daisy, Éclair, Daisy, Éclair, Daisy-
"Back off!" Éclair hissed and Daisy found herself toppling backwards as a foot connected with her ankle.
The girl gritted her teeth in pain and glared upwards but they were already twirling in another direction, Luigi looking very uncomfortable.
A few guests seemed to feel the tension on the dance floor and moved aside into the crowds outside the floor, many not even noticing the soon to be battle between two very angry girls in the center of the room.
Daisy quickly reached her feet and stormed forward, face flushed in anger. Enough was enough!
Éclair gasped in surprise as she was pulled roughly away from Luigi. She was spun around and found herself face to face with a very annoyed looking Daisy.
"Get your filthy hands off of me!" Éclair seethed.
Daisy grinned, "Make me."
This turned into a tugging match as Éclair tried to pull away from Daisy who had a hard grip on the girl's poofy sleeves.
Suddenly Éclair tugged hard backwards and there was a sharp ripping noise. The princess's arms waved about frantically as she slowly but surely toppled backwards, off balance, "Eek!"
Everyone watched, some gasping, as Éclair lost her footing, heels slipping backwards, falling in slow motion…onto one of the food tables. She hit the table and there was a crash as plates containing masses of different delicacies skidded to the floor, some flying into the wall. The grand finale was the large plastic punch bowl at the center of the table that poured over Éclair's head as she landed onto the now flat table.
Daisy smirked down at Éclair, hands on her hips, "Karma bites doesn't it?"
Suddenly Éclair was throwing herself at Daisy, screaming in rage. There were cries of obvious horror as the girls rolled around on the floor, Daisy grabbing onto Éclair's hair when the princess decided to slap at her face.
Peach watched this all in utter horror, the other guests pretty much did the same, Mario hid an amused grin, and poor Luigi just stared wide eyed at this scene of chaos.
"Not the hair not the hair!" Éclair screamed pathetically as her long hair escaped its bun, and was pulled under Daisy's elbow, yanking out a few strands.
The two girls grappled on the floor, attacking each other like wild animals. Soon all the people in the castle, guests and servants, were watching this like it was the most entertaining thing ever, which it totally was, but Peach just didn't share this opinion sadly, and was still staring in shock.
Suddenly the wall near the entrance of the castle crumbled in and making a surprise appearance was none other than the infamous koopa Bowser. He hovered in his clown car thing, laughing evilly as he entered, "Peach I have come-"
Bowser paused and looked down, a puzzled look on his face. Why was there no panic? No screaming and running around? The heck? All that good stuff usually happened the second he entered the room.
He then noticed the crowd that was not noticing him and stared dumbly for a second. Then he saw what the crowd saw and did what most guys do when two girls start going for each other's throats…he stared. (What is with the girl fight fascination boys?)
Peach finally noticed Bowser's presence and stepped back in alarm, but then blinked, bewildered. He didn't seem to notice her at all, he was distracted.
Sweet Grambi, Peach thought happily and slowly backed out of the room and ran upstairs to hide under her bed.

The next day…
"Ow." Daisy groaned as a maid fluffed up her pillow, "watch the head please."
"Sorry miss." The maid curtsied and left the room. When she was gone Daisy sighed and sank down deeper into her blankets. Last night had been a total bomb, and not in a good way. Éclair and her had been at each other's throats, both doing some good damage to one another, until they had been pulled apart screaming like crazy angry people.; and Daisy was still soooo very angry.
She ruined everything! Daisy thought, and I didn't get to spend much time with Luigi at all!
The princess glumly closed her eyes, a deep frown on her face. Then she heard a knock at the door. Daisy sighed again, "Come in."
"D-daisy?" She opened her eyes in surprise.
"Luigi?"
The green clad man smiled shyly at her from the open doorway, a bouquet of flowers, daisies, in his hands.
"A-are those for me?" Daisy asked shakily, feeling emotion well up in her at the sight of her namesake flower.
Luigi nodded and closed the door softly, then he walked over to her bedside. Daisy looked at him, eyes brimming with joy.
She quickly reached for the flowers and pressed them to her cheek, "Oh Lou! They're beautiful."
"I'm sorry Daisy."
She looked up at him in surprise, "What for Lou?"
He gave her an embarrassed look, "I should have stuck with you through the night, and I apologize."
Daisy sighed, "Luigi that girl practically held you captive during those times, we're cool."
"R-really?" Luigi said hopefully.
She smiled, "Really."
There was a moment of silence then, "So, where is the little witch now anyways?" Daisy said coolly.
"On her way home." Luigi flinched like the memory pained him, "She let me have it too. She'll probably return with a vengeance at the next gathering."
"Don't worry." Daisy laughed, "If she comes back, I'll protect you."
He held her hand gently, the touch warming the both of them, "I'll hold you to that."
