I usually go into current events when I write, but on this story I will not. If you like this story, then I'll put in a chapter for New Years. These will go through many holidays, real holidays and Mushroom Kingdom and Mushroom Kingdom holidays. Italic words are thoughts. Please r&r, but no flames.
Also, big thanks to those who reviewed and favorited my last story!

Other Author's Note: Hello, readers. I'm L van Am, as you can see. I've been asked by Luigified531, the original author of this and the next three chapters of this story (number 5 is mine) to adopt the story from him. Being the nice friend I am, I agreed, so it's my story now. The first four chapters weren't written by me, but I copied them with permission, so no flames. Thanks.
Chapter 1; Christmas
In a strange, parallel dimension inhabited by some strange species lives the Super Mario Bros. Today, they will be hosting a holiday brought to the MK by the Mario Bros., Christmas! They had invited the usual party guests; Princess Rosalina, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Toad, Toadette, Luma, Yoshi, and Birdo, but also had to deal with Bowser, Wario, and Waluigi because they always crash a good party. First, they had to get food, drinks, and other things needed to throw a party. Also, they had to get the invites, so people will know that they have to come. So to get these, in the quickest time possible, Luigi will get the food and drinks, and Mario will need to get party games and fine china/ silverware. Parakarry will send out the invites.
Mario and Luigi start to fill out the homemade invitations Each invite was worded the same, but the background mirrors the guest's personality. Here's how it goes...
Dear _,
You are cordially invited to our Christmas Party/ Dinner. Food is free, but you must participate in some of the games to eat. Luigi will be the chef and we will be having turkey, ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, star bits, and chicken, served with fries or mashed potatoes and gravy. Your drinks will include water, KoopaCola, SunnyToad, and RootBeer, along with punch. Games include Twister, a tennis match, Pin the tail on the Goomba, and laser tag. Please come, we are honored by your prescence.
Your Friends,
Mario and Luigi
Rosalina's card was a light blue sky, with shooting stars falling, with the Cosmic Observatory in the background. Peach had a light pink card, bordered by peaches, with a picture of her castle and the pond in the background. Daisy got an orange card, with daisies tied together as the border, and a picture of her and Luigi dancing to 'Domino' as the background. Donkey and Diddy Kong both got a card bordered by bananas, with a picture of Diddy's Peanut Popgun, next to Donkey Kong beating on a Kremling. Toad was sent a card with a mushroom border, and a picture of his infamous line "Your princess is in another Castle." Toadette's card was bordered by pink and white mushroom tops,with a picture of her beating the baseball to home plate. The Luma's card featured a dark, starry sky dotted with starbits with the top spire of the Comet Observatory in the backgound. Yoshi's card shows him catching Baby Mario from the Toady's clutches in the background, bordered by green eggs. Birdo's card had a border of pink eggs, and a picture of her kissing a seemingly lovestruck Yoshi. Bowser's card was basically an intro to his castle ( from Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door) and Waluigi's was just a picture of an angry Daisy bordered by an eggplant. Wario's card was a picture of a treasure chest bordered by garlic.
Luigi left the house that Tuesday to go to the Mushroom City Mall. There, he can get the majority of things quickly and easily. First, he went to the deli to order a pound of ham. Then, he got the frozen turkey, fries, chicken, and star bits. Soon after, he got the refridgerated cranberry sauce and potatoes. While getting the cake ran right into Daisy.
"HEY YOU J- oh hi Luigi, what are you doing here?" Daisy was obviously embarrassed. Not because she did anything out of the usual, but because she had a secret- well actually not so secret crush on Luigi. She wanted him to ask her out, but he appeared totally oblivious to her oh-so obvious moves on him, unlike everyone else in the entire kingdom. She's embarrassed herself quite a bit over her outbursts, even going as far as to say "Hey sweetie!" at the Mario Power Tennis Tournament. It wasn't always this way. When they 1st met, she showed absolutely no interest. It wasn't until he saved her life in the Mario Strikers tournament by getting the full brunt of the blast. He was in the hospital for weeks. His courage and personality were far different from the princes Peach tried to set her up with. He was shy and fearful, but courageous when needed. Also nobody, nobody, would take the blast he did for her.
"Shopping for a party that we're throwing. It's gonna be a blast." Really Luigi, now she knows you are throwing a party, and I bet she thinks she's not invited. Actually, Luigi had a crush equal to, if not greater than, Daisy's crush on him. He was head-over-heels for her. He'd do anything she said and anything she wanted, he'd buy it for her. He was amazed Daisy hadn't noticed by now. Mario even once remarked "Bro, you follow her like a dog follows its owner." It wasn't always like this though... When Peach had told him another princess was coming, he was, in all actuality, irritated. Her and Mario had been trying to set him up with a princess ever since Mario and Peach started dating, right before their dream adventure to Subcon. All of them were the same; snobby, stuck up, spoiled rich daddy's girls, who got everything they wanted. But she was different, her personality lit up the world for him. She wasn't unladylike, just bored of her princess duties. She wasn't snobby or conceited like all the others. She wasn't even high maintinence like Peach. She was perfect. He was just too shy to ask her out.
"A party? Why wasn't I invited! Are you cheating!" Oh No! Did I seriously just say that! More about my crush on Luigi in the Toad Town Times... Yay! Shethought sarcastically, though then an idea struck her. Maybe he'll finally notice! YAYAYAY!
"Whoa Daisy, no the invites just haven't made it to you yet, ask Mario." He surely did notice, but right when he mustered up the courage to ask, a shopping cart nearly pushed down the shelf. Well I just lost my confidence. Fail number 217 and counting he depressedly thought.
"Oh okay. See you at the party!" I could've sworn he was about to say something important, but I can't be late to a diplomatic meeting with Peach. I am late for these all the time, even when they are in my castle.
" Okay! Bye Daisy!"
Aww crap! I forgot some KoopaCola, SunnyToad, RootBeer, water and fruit punch. Luigi hurried out to find some refreshments. Today is gonna be a long day.
Meanwhile at a 5-star restuarant in Toad Town...
"What do you mean you don't have any fine china!"
"Sir that is not for sale. That is for our customers. " The manager of the restuarant was trying hard to retain his anger. How could the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom be so ignorant? This has to be a joke. C'mon it's has been going on for 5 minutes, if not more.
"But I see some right there..."
"SIR that is not for sale."
"But I have the money for it."
"Y'KNOW WHAT I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE OR HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE SAVED THE PRINCESS! I THINK THE PRINCESS IS A BIMBO ANYWAY!" Right then the whole restuarant freezes. Everybody adores Princess Peach, everybody in the kingdom.(a lady, her husband, and her kid walk out) "Thank you and have a wonderful day. NOW MR. MARIO WHY DON'T YOU GO BOTHER SOMEONE AT WALMART OR LOWES!" Everybody was scared, yet in awe of the restuarant owner. But they all wondered one thing... how would Mario react?
"Daddy. Why was the waiter mad at the man?" The young child was evidently scared of the manager, who had yelled at Mario for no reason.
" I don't know," the father replies. "I really don't know."
"NOW GET OUT AND STAY OUT! YOU ARE NEVER, EVER WELCOME HERE AGAIN DO YOU UNDERSTAND!"
"But what did I do wrong?"
"OUT, OUTOUTOUT OF MY RESTUARANT!"
"Umm,,, you know that there is fine china in a cabinet directly above you right that has a big FOR SALE sign..."
"NO THERE IS- oh umm... heh heh... My bad," a slight blush appearing on the manager's cheeks. "Would you like a free meal or something, anything to make up for it?"
"Yes Mr. Manager," a clearly relieved, but frustrated Mario said. "All I want is to pay for some of that silverware and that china."
"Anything you say sir... As we say here, the customer is always right."
Ohh yeah 'the customer is always right' my butt. Should be more like 'bossy, ignorant managers ruin your shopping experience.' I'd agree with that motto more. Mario disguised his anger by whistling a tune and maintaining a clear, calm face until...
", here is your china and silverware. Would you like anything to eat, its on the house."
"Really... really," Mario looks at the manager's nametag, "Steeeeeeeeve. Why are YOU ASKING ME THIS, ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING! I'M DEFINITELY NOT EATING NOW, AFTER HOW MAD YOU MADE ME! DO YOU PRACTICE BEING IGNORANT OR IT JUST NATURAL TO YOU! OF COURSE I WON'T EAT HERE NOW, IF EVER!" The Toad was cowering in fear from Mario's seemingly sudden anger. "AND FURTHERMORE-"
Right at that moment the stunning Princess Peach had walked into the restuarant. As usual, she wore her pink dress, high heels, hair out, and a crown on her head. She also brought Toad, Toadsworth, and her magical umbrella along with her for a nice, quiet lunch. When she heard commotion from inside she rushed in, leaving Toad and Toadsworth in the dust. Next in was Toadsworth, red in the face, then Toad who had walked in.
"Ha Toadsworth, told you she's safe. Now where's my 20 coins."
Princess Peach could only sigh and roll her eyes her attendant and her steward's behavior. Betting on her safety, who does that? Then her eyes caught sight of Mario clearly intimidating the Toad manager, who was scared out of his wits...
"AND FURTHERMORE-," Mario was soon cut off by Peach's entrance. But before she could say anything...
"MASTER MARIO, WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS! WE CAME HERE FOR A NICE LUNCHEON, NOT TO SEE YOU SCARE A YOUNG TOAD HALFWAY TO DEATH! NOW APOLOGIZE!"
Of course she brought Toadworth. He seems to always barge in at THE WRONG time... Why does he flail his cane like that anyway? "But Toadsworth..."
"NO IFS, ANDS, ORS, OR BUTS, UNDERSTAND!"
"Umm... Dad." Toad began.
"SHUTUP TOAD NOBODY ASKED FOR INPUT FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY," Toadsworth yelled, clearly in a rage. Not because of what was said, although that was partially responsible, it was the fact that Mario was using his physical height to intimidate the young Toad. Well, young for him anyway.
By this time the princess was cI shouldn't had brought Toadsworth.learly angry at Toadsworth. In fact, she was mad at her current situation. I shouldn't had brought Toadsworth. I shouldn't had brought Toadsworth. MAYBE THIS WOULD BE OVER WITH BY NOW. Finally she snapped. "Toadsworth, mind your manners, you don't know the whole story. I came here for a nice lunch with the two of you, but noooo some people had to overexxagerate the problem. Now let Mario and the Toad explain their sides of the story."
The crowd was hushed over the whole restuarant. They paid for dinner, and now they had live entertainment. They sat on the edge of their seats, waiting for what would happen. Also, everybody was scared. Maybe the princess responded in the highest manner but there was a certain darkness over her voice they had yet to see.
"Oooh protect your boyfiend, right. HE WAS DISRESPECTING-"
"DISRESPECT, WHAT ROOM DO YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT OR ANYTHING NEAR THAT. I AM SURE THERE IS A VALID EXPLANATION FOR ALL THIS, WHICH WOULD BE MUCH, MUCH EASIER TO COME BY IF YOU WEREN'T BEING DISRUPTIVE. YOU COULD BE JAILED FOR THIS!" Oh no, I just screamed at Toadsworth. This is not good, not good, not good. Reporters will be all over this...
The crowd was awed by the scene that just played out in front of them. It hadn't even processed for some, especially Toadsworth and Mario.
"Princess?" a young Toad asked.
"Yes dear." She was utterly afraid the girl would ask why she yelled out loud...
"The manager called you a bimbo, whatever that means. But it sounded bad, so I decided I should tell you."
"Thank you, dear. Let me talk to the manager really quick." She was overdoing it, a bright smile on her face and bright eyes.
"Okay," the Toad girl cheerfully skipped away.
"MR. MANAGER, HOW DARE YOU CALL YOUR PRINCESS THAT," Toadsworth butted in.
"CAN IT TOADSWORTH!" "Mr. Manager, please just give us a free meal and Mario whatever he wants, and we'll be on our way."
"Yes my princess," he bowed and scurried off.
Ooh! Peach yelled at someone, I didn't think she had it in her. Please correct me on any grammar or other mistakes I made. Thank you for reading chapter 1 and remember, get Luigified! Bad pun, I know...
