Author's note: Hello and welcome to my new fanfic! This is my second
story (the first is a game crossover-I only got one review doo hooo hoo).
Anyway, please R & R. And btw, I don't own any of the characters, places,
etc in the story otherwise I wouldn't be here right now.
Chapter 1: Paradise Island
Luigi stared out the window and sighed. There had been nothing but rainy weather on the island resort for the past three days, and he was tired of being holed up in the tiny hut he shared with his brother.
"Some tropical paradise this is," he muttered to himself.
"Cheer up Luigi," answered Mario, who was busy trying to build a house of cards. "Peach and I saw a patch of blue sky when we were walking along the beach yesterday. The rain should clear up by tomorrow-just in time for the big race."
"I sure hope so," Luigi replied. Just then the younger brother noticed a white parasol bobbing down the pathway leading to the hut. "Looks like you have a visitor."
"Oh Mariooooo!" came a distinctly female voice.
Mario got up to open the door, knocking over his card house in the process. He paused for a second, shrugged, and opened the door.
"Hello gorgeous" Mario said to the visitor.
"Hello yourself," giggled Peach. "Guess what? There's a party going on in Bungalow Two. All you can eat seafood and a calypso band!"
"Sounds like fun," replied Mario. "Coming with us bro?"
"I'll pass," Luigi responded.
"Come on Luigi," the princess coaxed. "It'll be fun. Everyone who is racing tomorrow is invited."
Luigi knew Peach's comment meant that Daisy would be at the party. People seemed to think that he and Daisy were an item, but Luigi had not yet figured out how he felt about her.
"Alright, alright I'll go," Luigi consented.
Mario and Peach made their way to the bungalow hand in hand with Luigi trailing behind them. When the three made it to the party Luigi saw that Peach was right- the bungalow was filled with cart race contestants. Wario was loading up his plate at the buffet while chatting with Donkey Kong. Bowzer was bragging to King Boo about his new six-wheeler, and Birdo was in a heated argument with Yoshi over whose cart they should use in the upcoming race. Even the band included some racers. Toad was on the steel drum and Toadette was singing her heart out.
"Come on Mario," squealed Peach, "Let's dance!" With that, Peach took Mario's hand and led him to the dance floor, leaving Luigi to mingle by himself. He was about to go for the buffet line when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He spun around and found himself face to face with Daisy, who was looking radiant in her yellow halter dress with a tropical flower print.
"Hey Luigi," Daisy began shyly, "Wanna dance?"
"Erm..." Luigi replied, "I'm really not much of a dancer."
"That's ok. I'm not either. Come on!"
Luigi reluctantly followed Daisy onto the dance floor.
"Now," Daisy said to Luigi, "Put your hand here on my hip and that one...there! Now follow me. One, two, three...that's it!"
"Why are we waltzing to a calypso band?"
Daisy blushed. "It's the only dance I know how to do."
Luigi and Daisy spent the next few of hours dancing. At one point a conga line formed and all of the guests wound around the tiki torch-lit hall.
"Whew," Luigi exclaimed when he and Daisy broke away from the crowd. "It's getting late, and I need to rest up if my brother and I are going to win the big race tomorrow."
"What makes you so sure? Peach and me are a close second in the circuit this year."
"Well, be that as it may I really must be going," Luigi replied and started for the door.
"Wait," Daisy said, taking Luigi's hand. "I'll go with you."
Daisy allowed Luigi to lead her out of the bungalow and into the cool night air. A faint breeze was winding its way through the palm trees. The rain had stopped during the party but water could still be heard dripping off the large leaves. An infinity of stars replaced the clouds that had loomed over the island sky earlier in the day. Luigi and Daisy walked silently until they came to a fork in the path.
"Well, my hut is down that way," Luigi said, "So I guess this is goodnight."
"Goodnight, Luigi," the princess replied as she let go of his hand. "See you tomorrow on the race track. The one shaped like Yoshi, right?"
"Yep," was all Luigi could think to say. The beauty of the princess's porcelain skin shining in the moonlight mesmerized him. He wanted to pick her up, spin her around, and kiss her, but he knew he was too shy.
Daisy stood as if waiting for something before she wished Luigi a good night again and gracefully walked down the path toward her hut. Luigi stood for a moment wrestling with his feelings, but eventually decided that he could deal with them after a good night's sleep.
Luigi woke up the next morning to a clear blue day- and an empty stomach. He realized that he hadn't eaten since lunch the day before (he had been so busy dancing that he had forgotten about the buffet).
"Hey Mario," Luigi said to the bed across from his, "I'm going to the café. Want anything?"
There was no response, and Luigi figured his older brother was asleep. Luigi got dressed and headed toward the door, but when he got to the bed on the other side of the room he noticed that no one was there.
"That must have been some party," Luigi said for himself as he left the hut and made his way toward the café.
When he got there, Luigi saw that there were only three other people in the restaurant besides him- Waluigi, Toadette, and Daisy.
"Where is everyone?" Luigi asked Daisy, who was sitting at a table with the other two.
"That's what we're trying to figure out," answered Waluigi.
"When I woke up this morning Peach wasn't in her bed," Daisy said.
"The same thing happened to me," added Toadette. "I woke up and Toad was gone."
"Me too," Luigi responded. "I wonder if they're still at the bungalow. Have any of you checked over there yet?"
"So that's where Wario went," muttered Waluigi.
"No," replied Daisy, "Maybe we should head over there now."
"Can't we wait till after breakfast?" whined Waluigi. "I'm starved!"
A mushroom-capped waiter came and took everyone's orders. Then he disappeared into the kitchen. A few minutes later he came out with coffee, scones, and bagels. The group ate in silence. When they were finished and had paid their bills, Luigi stood up and everyone followed him to the bungalow.
When Luigi walked into the front door he was met with an eerie silence. A strange smell wafted its way into his nose.
"Blegh!" exclaimed Waluigi. "It smells like fried mushrooms in here."
Toadette's face went white when she noticed something under one of the long tables. As she got closer she noticed what it was-her beloved Toad was lying on the ground, covered in burns.
So that's the end of chapter one. Sorry it was so short, but the next chapters should be longer and more interesting. Don't forget to R & R.
