A/N: This is my second fanfic! I always wanted to do one where Mario was keeping everyone in suspense... For those of you who haven't already, try reading my first story- The Time of Her Life (Hopefully). It's a TON more dark than this, but I think it's just as good.

"Hey Mario…" said Daisy.

It was the middle of the summer, and all the royalty of Mushroom Kingdom, and the Mario Brothers, were at Peach Beach for the annual summer beach party. Only the best of the best and the richest of the richest were there- no one else was allowed, on pain of death (or so Peach had decreed).

"Oh! Hello Daisy!" said Mario, looking up from the box he had been holding in his hand, and starting.

"Watcha got there?" inquired Daisy, eyeing the box suspiciously.

"Uh… It's a surprise… for… a girl I know?" said Mario, looking nervously up at Daisy.

"Oh really?" said Daisy slyly, understanding quite plainly was Mario was hinting. "And who's the lucky lady?"

"Well, she already knows. So, there wouldn't really be a point in saying." said Mario, starting to sweat a bit.

"Well, seeya Mario!" said Daisy cheerfully.

As Daisy walked away, she started thinking.

Hmm… Suspicious box… Surprise for a lady… Not gonna say… Why! He means to propose to someone today! But who on earth could it be? Not me, of course. Well… Maybe… The way he was talking about it made it seem like it could've been me! I'll bet he is going to propose to me today. Well, I'd better break the news to Luigi, then. No point in leading him on is there.

Daisy smiled. She was going to get married! And not to boring old Luigi, either. But to Mario! The brave! The independent! The dreamy…

But Daisy had a task to complete, and she thought she ought to get on it. Spotting Luigi by the refreshment stand, Daisy made a beeline over to him.

"Luigi?"

"Oh Daisy! I've been looking for you everywhere! I have something to tell you…" said Luigi, trailing off at the end of his sentence.

"Actually, I want to tell you something as well." said Daisy, cutting him off. "I think we ought to break up. I honestly was only in this relationship to make my dad happy, but now that I know that someone better is going to propose, I honestly see no reason to keep up our relationship."

"Well, I'm glad you got to break up first, because I was about to chicken out." replied Luigi.

"W-what?" said Daisy, "You mean you were going to break up with me? Why!? I'm like the best girlfriend ever!"

"Because I have decided that I am… gay." said Luigi, puffing his chest out slightly at the last word.

"Wow." Said Daisy, slightly shocked, "When did you figure it out?"

"About a year ago, but I didn't have to guts to tell you to get lost. You seemed so… content." said Luigi, his voice getting soft. He knew now that he had been wrong.

"Well, thanks for coming clean! See you around Luigi!" said Daisy, planting a small kiss on his cheek as she walked away.

Then she came back.

"Could you… buy me a smoothie before we officially break up?" said Daisy sneakily.

"Sure thing, kid." replied Luigi, not missing a beat.
