Author's Note
This is my first (and probably only) non-League of Legends inspired story. I came up with this idea one day while playing Mario Kart Wii and Super Mario Galaxies. Enjoy!
The story is basically Peach inviting some of her close friends (meaning Mario Luigi Yoshi Daisy and Rose) to her castle for a slumber party, but the Mario Bros. have become ill, and of course Yoshi has to help them. So it's just a girl's night with Daisy and Rosalina.
All was peaceful in the Mushroom Kingdom as the sun set on another perfect day. All across the land, all the citizens returned back into their homes for the night. The moon rose over the horizon, providing a light blue-gray light across the land. All was silent, calm, and above all else, peaceful. Almost too peaceful.
However, in Princess Peach Toadstool's castle, there was a different story. The staff rushed around the castle performing last minute orders and getting the palace decorated. Tonight is the night of Peach's first ever exclusive slumber party. Only her closest friends were invited - Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Princess Daisy. She even invited the new girl Rosalia out of the kindness of her heart (and some begging from Mario). Peach wanted this to be a perfect night for just her and her friends. She's been planning this night for months and preparing for it for the last 2 weeks.
The castle was covered from the top watch tower to the basement with pink and green Yoshi egg wall paper. Every wooden torch was replaced with white, pink, and red ones. Every room had been scrubbed and re-scrubbed all day. The large castle doors were painted white with pink dots, and every door inside mirrored this design. Except for Peach's door, however, which was left white and bland to help distinguish it for her guests. The Main Hall had a large pink round table with 6 seats equidistant from each other, each on had a special color and design for each person. The entire castle was perfectly designed, cleaned, and prepaired for the best party ever.
Peach's room was the most decorated room aside from the Main Hall. She spent the last week painting her room in a rainbow fashion, hanging up pictures of her friends and their adventures, finding perfect decorations for everyone, and setting up everyone's sleeping bag.
In the center of her room sat her oversized bed, at least twice the size of a normal king sized bed was. The bed was decorated with pink sheets and white pillows, and a pink poke-a-dot blanket made of the softest fabric in the Mushroom Kingdom. Above the golden headboard was one of Peach's signature symbols, a red heart in a white circle, painted on the wall.
Her bed was surrounded by 5 large comfortable sleeping bags, each with the color of the guest they were intended for. Mario's was red and the closest to Peach's bed, Luigi's green one was found right next to Daisy's orange bag (ordered by a request from the Princess herself), Yoshi's was a lighter green color with white dots, and Princess Rosalina was left with the light-blue bag. Everything was set for a full night of games, stories, and whatever else would happen that night. Peach got most of her ideas for her party from the stories in her library about the girls who host their own slumber parties, and made a list of activities that was pinned up on the wall, written in a font large enough for anyone in the room to read.
Peach herself was sitting in her large room applying the last of her make-up in front of her 7 foot tall wall mirror. She was waiting for the first of her guests to arrive, which should be any minute now. She was wearing her pink silk pajamas and pink gloves. Her hair was left down and straight and it flowed onto her solders. She was putting on her red lipstick on when she heard a knock on her door.
"Princess! The guests have arrived ma'am!" A male voice called out from behind the door.
"Thank you!" Peach called back, "Let them in. I'll be down shortly." She twisted her lipstick closed and recapped it.
"Yes ma'am!" He yelled out. Peach heard him run away as she stood up to take one last look at her gown. She was stunning, the very definition of beautiful. She exited her room with an elegant smile and headed downstairs to the Main Hall.
Hope everything goes well tonight, Peach thought as she walked down the stairs to the Main Hall to greet her guests, There has been way too much planning into this for anything to go wrong.
Peach entered the Main Hall with her lovely silken nightgown flowing ever so gently in the absent breeze. The guards and staff lined up to welcome in the guests that arrived from the Grand Entrance Hall. 4 trumpet player toads were set at the start and end of the line, ready to create a grand entrance. Peach took her seat in the pink-white throne-like chair at the round table as she signaled the door to be opened.
The two grand doors started opening up as the trumpet players sounded their horns and every guard stood at attention. Princesses Daisy and Rosalina entered the Grand Hallway and were almost taken back by the show Peach set up for them. Confetti rained from above them, catching the two off by surprise.
Princess Daisy was dressed in a orange silk pajama uniform very similar to Peach's, aside from the flower design on her back. Her gloves were decorated with a glitter that even Peach was able to notice from across the hall. She was wearing her most comforting pair of yellow-orange slippers. Her hair was straightened in a similar fashion as Peach, but was dyed to be much more orange than usual. She was carrying her favorite orange pillow at her side as she walked down the hallway with a gleeful expression.
Rosalina on the other hand was sporting a bright blue nightgown with sparkly stars on it. Her hair was held up like normal, but dyed in a light sky blue shade instead of her normal light blonde. She was wearing a pair of light blue flip-flops that glowed every time she stepped. She was followed by a light pink Luma that danced around mid-air behind her.
The three reached the table as the staff scattered around and the trumpet players finished their tune. Both princesses took their designated seats next to each other and the star creature sat down in front of Rosalina.
"Welcome friends," Peach greeted.
"This is quite a gig you set up here Peach," Daisy pointed out, "Must've taken months for them to perfect this castle."
"It wasn't that much of a hassle," Peach assured as she signaled a worker to bring the tea, "I must say I love your pajamas. Especially yours Rose."
"Well thanks. The Lumas helped me pick it out and dyed my hair. That is why I'm covered in sparkles," Rosalina stated, "Anyway, thanks for inviting us,"
"Well...I couldn't imagine a -" Peach started as she was interrupted by someone calling her name out rapidly.
"Peach! Peach!" Toadsworth, Peach's most loyal steward, came running through the double doors shouting her name rapidly, "Um...excuse me for a minute," Peach exclaimed as she stood up to greet her steward.
"Calm down Toadsworth," Peach ordered as she crouched down to meet him at eye level, "What's wrong?"
"It's the Mario Brothers my dear. I've got a message from them. You see, they've both come down with terrible illness!" Toadsworth exclaimed.
"What? Oh no!" The princess shouted, "Is there something we can do?!"
"Yoshi is taking care of them. Right now he says all they need is rest. They send their regrets for not showing up however."
Peach sighed. She knew she could trust Yoshi to take care of her close friend very well, but she also wanted to be Mario's personal caretaker, especially if he's sick, "... Well...I guess it'll be okay. Can we go see if they are okay and need anything?"
"Yoshi said they were fine, they just need rest," Toadsworth assured.
So if Yoshi's taking care of them, why were you running around and shouting?" Peach rebutted.
"Sorry about that. I just ran here from the Mario Brothers' house after all..."He responded, "Guess I got a little too excited."
"Alright then..." She uttered, "But what are we gonna do about the party...only 2 people showed up."
"It can still go on," He reassured, "Didn't you say you wanted a small gathering anyway?"
"Well...yea...but," Peach started.
"You've been planning this for weeks, Princess" Toadsworth stated as he stroked Peach's hair to try and calm her down, "Now go out there and enjoy yourself."
"What about the brothers?" Peach asked as she looked back with an innocent expression.
"We'll go visit them first thing in the morning. How's that?"
"Hmm... But if they aren't gonna show up, I'll need to reorder things in my room."
"Let me worry about that." Toadsworth stated as Peach stood back up, "Now, you have guests to entertain, right?" He noted as he pointed back to Princesses Rosalina and Daisy, who were sipping their tea cups and conversing with each other idly.
"Alright I'll go see to them," Peach responded, "But could you please make sure nothing else goes wrong tonight."
"Don't about it ma'am," He assured as Peach and let her return back to her friends.
"What was that about?" Daisy commented as Peach returned back to her throne.
"Oh, um...nothing to worry about," She responded.
"Sure didn't sound like nothing," Rosalina stated as she sipped her tea elegantly, "By the way, when are the other's arriving? You did say 8:00 right?"
"Oh, well you see, it seems the Mario Brothers are 'preoccupied,'" Peach started to explain as she picked up her pink tea cup, "Yoshi is helping them out, and to be honest, I couldn't reach anyone else in time. I barely got a messenger out to you in time, Rose." She sipped the warm sweet tea and placed it down.
"So...it's just us tonight?" Daisy noted as she placed her empty cup down.
"Yep, just us 3 girls," Peach replied as she noticed the Luma look up, "Oh, and your little friend there. Rose, care to introduce her?"
"Her name's Juliet," Rosalina stated as she placed her blue cup down and patted the little star, "She's a special Luma. Normally I woulda just sent her to bed with her friends but she is relentless. I hope that's not a problem."
"Oh of course not Rose. Nice to meet you Juliet," Peach responded as she held out her hand and shook the star's point, causing Juliet to let out a high pitch gleeful squeal.
"She says 'nice to meet you too'," Rosalina translated.
"So...what's the first thing we're gonna do tonight?" Daisy asked.
"Hmm...well we were gonna head off to the game room once Mario and Luigi arrived," Peach noted, "But I was thinking, with just us girls, we could just skip all that and do some actual girl things up in my room. Make-up and stuff..."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Daisy replied happily.
"Yea sure," Rosalina stated somewhat surely. Juliet let out an approving squeal and bounced up, "And she's on board. Let's go then."
"Alright," Peach exclaimed as the girls stood up.
"Race ya!" Daisy shouted as she picked up her pillow and started dashing towards the stairway to Peach's room. Peach and Rosalina stared back at each other with quizzical expressions.
"Well...she's in a hurry," Peach remarked.
Rosalina nodded, "Been like since we met up. She's been rather excited for tonight."
Daisy stopped by the hallway and realized the girls behind her were not running, but rather left at the table with puzzled looks.
"Come on girls! Let's go!" She called back, beckoning them to join her.
"We're coming! We're coming!" Rosalina called back. Juliet squealed at Rosalina in a questioning tone, "Yes Juliet, you can race her if you want," Just as she said that, the Luma took off and ran after the orange princess, leaving behind a slightly visible pink dust trail.
"That is one energetic Luma," Peach exclaimed.
"Ha! You should see her around her friends. They are impossible to calm down."
Peach and Rosalina walked casually towards their destination and Daisy and Juliet raced each other down the halls towards Peach's white door. They reached their finish line at roughly the same time, despite Daisy losing one of her shoes halfway down the hall.
The two argued considerably who won the race as Peach and Rosalina finally showed up.
"Fine, maybe... you did get her a fraction... of a second earlier," Daisy stated as she tried to catch her breath. Juliet bounced around Daisy's head, singing a victory tune, "Hey now... no need... to be a show off."
Rosalina giggled as she approached Juliet and hugged her close, "Hehe, I'm guessing she won?"
"Just barely," Daisy responded in a defiant tone.
"Well that's what you get for racing a special Luma like Juliet," Rosalina stated as she grabbed the little star mid flight.
"Alright now. Daisy you're not tired already are ya?" Peach teased as she pulled out her key and unlocked the door.
"Of course not!" She proclaimed as the four entered Peach's royal room.
"Well this is a...large room you have here," Rosalina exclaimed, "I think your bed alone is bigger than my room on the Comet Observatory!"
"Why thank you Rose. I guess I never noticed it before," Peach agreed as the two entered in, "I will say sometimes it's a little too big."
All the surrounding colorful sleeping bags were missing from the room. Only Daisy's sleeping bag remained next to the much larger pink bed. I guess Toadsworth forgot Rose was here...all well, I guess we can share the bed. Peach thought to herself.
"So...what's first on the agenda tonight?" Daisy asked as she walked over to the bed and sat down. Juliet lept from Rosalina's arms and followed her. The princess tossed her orange pillow onto the middle of the bed and jumped up on Peach's bouncy mattress. Juliet joined in, and the two jumped gleefully and energetically high into the air while Peach and Rosalina just stared and smiled.
"Well you sure seem to have a bundle of energy left in ya," Peach jokingly stated, "You sure you didn't put any extra sugar in your tea?"
"No way," Daisy exclaimed as she continued bouncing, "Just excited for tonight. We never had a slumber party before."
"I believe the source of her energy is our little Luma friend..." Rosalina explained to Peach, "You see, Juliet has a special power. She can give everybody around her a boost of energy that would rival any sugar rush."
"Hm...well it sure seems to be working on Daisy here," Peach noted.
"She can also alter people's emotions and desires to fit hers if she wanted to...but she knows better than to mess with other people," Rosalina giggled, "Isn't that right Juliet!"
Juliet gave her a quick yelp back as she and Daisy continued bouncing on Peach's exceedingly large royal bed.
"So you're saying we're not gonna get much sleep tonight?" Peach noted excitedly.
"Not until she exhausts herself," Rosalina commented, "And trust me, that won't happen anytime soon..."
After about 30 minutes of straight jumping, Daisy and Juliet were finally able to calm down long enough for the two to sit down and think straight again. They were both out of breath understandably.
"Woa...that was fun." She exclaimed as she tried to catch her breath again. Juliet let out an agreeing squeal, equally exhausted.
"Alright now. What shall we do tonight?" Peach started as she took a look at the list of activities she pinned up on the wall, "Hmm...how about we... start with... a good old fashion pillow fight!"
"Yea, that souds like fun!" Rosalina expressed as she joined Daisy on the bed, patting her little tired Luma.
"I'm down for that. Already prepared," Daisy stated as she held up her pillow.
"Oh really now?" Rosalina remarked as she sneakingly grabbed one of Peach's fluffy pink pillows and smacked it behind Daisy's head, not hard enough to hurt, but enough too stun Daisy.
"Ow!" She exclaimed as the pillow startled her. She turned and smirked, "Oh, it's on!" Daisy giggled as she grabbed her own pillow and returned the hit back onto the blue haired princess.
The two continued exchanging hits and laughing loudly. Peach snuck in wielding two pillows at the same time, and bonked both princesses on their head with her soft puffy pillows.
They both started double teaming her together and overwhelmed the pink princess, causing her to stumble on her bed laughing while the two bumbled her with their soft weapons.
"Alright alright! I give!" She exclaimed as the two smacked her faster than she could block, "You win!"
Just as Peach said that, Juliet arose wielding a smaller pillow and blocked a well aimed hit from Daisy. The star-creature held her ground strong as she fought the two to defend Peach with both glee and stubbornness. She wouldn't let another hit pass by and strike the pink princess. Daisy and Rosalina playfully continued attacking Juliet with their pillows as she refused to let down her guard. Feathers started to fly out everywhere, getting caught in each girl's hair.
Peach regained her balance and stood back up, holding one of her much larger body pillows. She and Juliet looked at the pair with determined looks and readied themselves. With playful laughs and squeals, the four continued their playing for what felt like an hour before they tired themselves out.
The princesses all laid down on the bed once they mutually agreed to end their game. Each was exhausted from their activity.
"Ahh...that's was fun now... wasn't it," Daisy exclaimed as she tried to catch her breath again.
"I'll say," Rosalina responded, equally out of breath. Juliet let out a lighthearted series of squeals, "She says... it was a thousand times better than the pillow... fights the other Lumas have."
"Well...now that we got... recreational activities out of the way, hows about time for some...thing else." Peach started as she turned to the list on the wall.
