Bowser was pacing back and forth, trying to think of a way to successfully kidnap Peach.
"I've tried everything" he thought to himself "no matter what I do Mario, Greenie and Bigmouth find a way to stop me."
Kamek walked in and said "your rudeness, I have wonderful news!"
"What is it?" Bowser asked.
Kamek smiled and asked "what always gets in the way when you try to kidnap Princess Peach?"
Bowser growled and said "Mario, Greenie and sometimes Greenie's bigmouth wife. What about it?"
"You can come in now" Kamek said.
Three ghost like creatures walked into the room.
"Who or what are they?" Bowser asked.
"They are duplighosts" Kamek said "they can take on the appearance, voice and abilities of other people."
"So?" Bowser said.
"Show him" Kamek said smiling.
The duplighosts began to change. One became Mario, the next became Luigi and the last became Daisy.
"They have agreed to help us" Kamek said "at a price of course. My plan is simple. We capture the real Mario, Luigi and Princess Daisy and replace them with these three. They would make capturing the originals easy, since they look like their loved ones. Once we have them, the duplighosts will take over their lives and it would be easy for you to kidnap the princess and rule the Mushroom Kingdom; and as a bonus, you would be able to rule Sarasaland as well."
"I like it" Bowser said "when do we start?"
"As soon as we get paid" duplighost Mario said.
"I'll pay you after we capture Mario, Greenie and Bigmouth" Bowser said.
"Fine" duplighost Luigi said "then let's get started."
Duplighost Mario and Luigi left Bowser's castle and headed toward the Mushroom Kingdom. They found Mario walking through the forest, alone.
"Perfect" duplighost Mario said.
He turned to duplighost Luigi and said "you're up."
He nodded, cleared his throat and walked toward Mario.
"Hey bro" he said.
Mario looked at him and said "hey Weegie, I thought you were with Daisy today."
"She had to go back to Sarasaland" duplighost Luigi said as he walked over to Mario.
Suddenly he grabbed Mario by the throat and punched him in the face.
Mario shoved him back and yelled "what's wrong with you?!"
"Make it easy on yourself and surrender" duplighost Luigi said.
"What are you talking about?" Mario asked.
Duplighost Mario walked over with a large tree branch.
Duplighost Luigi distracted Mario while duplighost Mario hit him in the head with the branch, knocking him out. The two duplighosts smiled and shook hands. They quickly tied Mario's hands behind him. Then they heard a cell phone.
Duplighost Mario pulled a cell phone out of Mario's pocket, answered it and said "hello?"
"Hey" Peach said "hurry up and finish your walk. We are supposed to meet Luigi and Daisy for dinner soon."
"Ok" he said.
Duplighost Luigi began dragging Mario toward Bowser's castle, while duplighost Mario headed toward Peach's castle. When he got to Peach's castle, he found her waiting for him by the door.
He walked up to her and said "hey."
"You're late" Peach said "we've got to hurry, come on."
They met Luigi and Daisy at an Italian restaurant for dinner. At dinner, duplighost Mario was quiet, mostly listening.
"You're being awfully quiet, bro" Luigi said.
"I don't have much to say" duplighost Mario said.
Luigi looked at him, then he looked at Daisy. She shrugged slightly. After dinner, Mario and Peach headed to their castle and Luigi and Daisy headed toward Luigi's mansion.
As they were walking, a young toad walked up to duplighost Mario and said "Mister Mario, can I take a picture with you?"
"Get lost, kid" duplighost Mario said.
The toad looked up at him and said "but, Mister Mario, I just want to-"
"I said beat it" duplighost Mario said.
"What's gotten into you?" Peach asked "he just wants to take a picture with you."
"Fine" duplighost Mario said "fifteen bucks and you get one picture, two for twenty-five. So if you don't have the cash, I'll say it again. Get lost!"
The toad ran away crying.
Peach smacked duplighost Mario in the back of the head and said "what's wrong with you?!"
Duplighost Mario shoved her down and said "back off!"
He turned toward her and said "maybe if you acted more like me, you wouldn't get kidnapped so much."
Peach tried to get up.
Duplighost Mario threw a fireball that landed inches in front of her and said "stay down."
Luigi glanced back and saw what was happening.
"Come on ,Daisy" he said as he started running.
Daisy looked back and began running after him.
Luigi stood between duplighost Mario and Peach and said "why don't you pick on somebody your own size?"
"You're not worth my time, wimp" duplighost Mario said.
Then he turned and walked away. Luigi turned and saw Daisy helping Peach up.
"That wasn't the Mario I know" Peach said as she wiped away a tear.
"I agree" Luigi said "I'm going to see if I can catch that kid and cheer him up."
"Ok Sweetie" Daisy said.
Luigi ran after the toad.
Daisy smiled at Peach and said "cheer up Peachy, Mario is probably just in one of his bad moods. Don't worry about it. How about we spend the day at the mall tomorrow?"
"Ok" Peach said smiling.
Peach and Daisy had been talking for a few minutes when Daisy's cell phone rang.
She answered it said "hello?"
"Hey" Luigi said "I finally cheered that toad up."
"Good" Daisy said.
"Yeah" Luigi said "I promised to take him to the park in the morning and his parents invited me to spend the night with them. So I'm going to swing by the mansion and pack an overnight back real quick."
"Ok" Daisy said "you two have fun. Bye."
"Bye" Luigi said.
Daisy put her cell phone away.
She looked at Peach and said "Luigi is spending the night with that toad and he's taking him to the park in the morning, so we can spend all day at the mall."
"Awesome" Peach said "goodnight."
"Night" Daisy said and they headed their separate ways for the night.
Duplighost Mario pulled out a small communicator that Kamek gave him.
He called Kamek and said "Princess Daisy is going to be alone at the mansion tonight."
"Excellent" Kamek said "now, go to Princess Peach's castle and try to find a secret entrance we can use to capture her."
"Understood" he said.
Kamek turned to duplighost Daisy and said "you're up. Get to Luigi's mansion and take Daisy's place. Wait until she is asleep so it will be easier to capture her."
"No problem" duplighost Daisy said.
"Remember" Kamek said "you have to act like a princess."
"Got it" duplighost Daisy said.
She went to Luigi's mansion and snuck in. She found Daisy asleep in her bed. Duplighost Daisy snuck over to Daisy and slowly rolled her on her stomach and carefully and slowly tied her hands behind her back, trying not to wake her. Once she finished, she rolled Daisy back over and shook her awake. Daisy opened her eyes and saw an exact copy of her smiling evilly at her. Daisy tried to hit her, but found her hands were tied behind her back.
Daisy glared at the duplighost and yelled "what's going on?!"
Duplighost Daisy rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Get back here!" Daisy yelled.
Duplighost Daisy walked downstairs and searched for Luigi's tool box. She found it and took out a roll of tape. Meanwhile, Daisy struggled to her feet and began following the duplighost. Duplighost Daisy turned around and began walking back upstairs. When she reached the doorway; Daisy stepped out of the shadows and head-butted her in the forehead, knocking duplighost Daisy down. Daisy stepped forward and tried to kick her. Duplighost Daisy rolled out of the way and kicked Daisy's legs out from under her. Daisy fell flat on her back, stunning her for a few seconds.
Duplighost Daisy took advantage, pulled off a strip of tape and said "you talk to much."
She taped Daisy's mouth shut, smiled and said "you are being replaced."
She began dragging Daisy out by her nightgown. She dragged Daisy to Bowser's castle and set her against the door.
Duplighost Daisy pounded on the door and yelled "special delivery!"
Then she walked away, back to Luigi's mansion. A koopa opened the door. When it did, Daisy fell inside. She glared at the koopa.
The koopa smiled and said "wow, if looks could kill I'd be dead right now. Anyway, let's go."
It began dragging her inside the castle. Mario was sitting in the dungeon, his arms were chained to the wall above his head. His wrists were chafed and he had worn himself out pulling against the chains. The door opened and he saw a koopa dragging Daisy in. It dragged her to a cage in the center of the room and threw her inside and locked the door, leaving her tied up.
Daisy tried to yell something at him, but the tape kept her quiet.
"Do you want me to take that tape off?" the koopa asked.
Daisy nodded, glaring at him.
The koopa smiled and said "too bad. If you two can't communicate, there is less of a chance of you escaping. Also it will be nice to have you here and not have to listen to that smart mouth of yours."
The koopa laughed and left the room, slamming the door behind him. Daisy turned and looked at Mario.
"I know what you're thinking" he said "and I have no idea how we are going to get out of here."
Daisy sighed and hung her head.
The next day, Peach was headed to Luigi's mansion to meet Daisy.
She knocked on the door and said "Daisy, are you ready?"
"Just a moment" she heard Daisy say.
The door opened and duplighost Daisy stepped out. Peach was surprised to see Daisy in her best dress, silk gloves and high heels.
"What's with the outfit?" Peach asked.
"What do you mean, dear?" duplighost Daisy asked.
"I mean what's with the dress?" Peach asked "why aren't you in jeans and a tee shirt like always?"
Duplighost Daisy giggled and said "silly Peach, a princess would not dress like that. It would not be proper."
"Uh huh" Peach said "are you feeling ok?"
"I am perfectly fine" duplighost Daisy said.
"Ok" Peach said "let me ask you something; if someone were to just walk up and slap you in the face while we were shopping, what would you do?"
"That's easy" duplighost Daisy said "I would find the proper authorities, tell them what happened and give them the best description I could."
"Right" Peach said "are you sure you're ok, Daze?"
"I told you I am perfectly fine" duplighost Daisy replied "and Peach my name is Daisy, not Daze. Shall we go?"
"Uh, sure" Peach said.
"That's not Daisy" she thought to herself as they walked away.
