This idea had been floating in my mind almost a ship lost in a stormy sea. Well it is time I salvage that ship and put it "paper." Don't get me wrong since I love a good DaisyxLuigi any day but I feel like turning the tables a bit. Please enjoy and reviews would be appreciated. Flames shall be deleted and used to make smores. But most of all enjoy. I will also be using the concept of Daisy and Peach being sisters since that is always how I have personally think of them since I first played a lonnnng time ago. If you really have a problem with it, there is no problem with hitting the back page is there?

By first glance of Daisy when she wasn't in Sarasaland Castle or at a party, one would never tell she was a princess or the younger sister of Princess Peach. When not attending her dearest sister's parties, the brunette could be found sporting her favorite red t-shirt, knee length brown skort, and digging somewhere in Mushroom Kingdom with the famous Kolorado. It was on those days of excavating that the princess wished she'd been born a koopa rather than a royal. But the young woman took up her royal duties with the upmost pride and never once complained that she'd rather be running out doors getting dirty. She was honored to be the ruler of her people who all loved her with the upmost loyalty. But even when she was with her closest friend Luigi taking a walk when she visited the Mushroom Kingdom, her head was always in the woods or desert. Today was no exception, even with it being Peach's birthday she'd rather be outside enjoying the warm day instead of in a Princess's bedroom.
"Daisy, are you there? Do you want me to finish up your hair?" Peach smiled holding out her pink hair brush only for the princess to shake her head.
"Oh no, thank you. It's fine down like this." The brunette hated letting her auburn hair down from its pony tail, let alone really styling it. Already she was in her trademark gown, only her red crown missing from her head. She liked to dress up on her own terms, but always at parties she felt so out of place next to Peach. In all of their friendly rivalries, being a proper princess was always something the blonde had won with ease. "Would you mind putting the crown in?" She asked handing it over to Peach with a smile, her dress suddenly feeling two sizes too small when she looked out seeing the perfect weather outside.
"You seem distracted, are you feeling okay?" The blonde inquired looking at Daisy's face in the mirror of her vanity table seeing that her sapphire eyes were glazed over.
"Eh? Oh yes I am fine. So… should we be expecting to see Mario? Tell him to come early at all? Or perhaps you told him to come just a bit later because of all the guests?" She asked slightly as a smirk came across her crimson lips, laughing as Peach's creamy skin flushed as pink as her silk under gown she still wore.
"I sent both him and Luigi an invitation telling them to both as soon as they could." Peach's cheeks were still pink as she made the final touches to Daisy's ruby crown. "I do hope it is soon though, I tried not to be too pushy in the letter."
"Aw poor Peachy won't get to know until…wait you sent a letter?" A grimace appeared on the young woman's soft face as she got up from the chair arching her slim brow. The blonde was none the less taken back by Daisy's reaction wondering herself what the matter was.
"What does it make a difference? I always send them a letter." Daisy couldn't hold back an annoyed groan as her hands hung loosely on her slim hips.
"It makes a difference because every time you send a letter for a party you get kidnapped by that Bowser guy! I hate the worry and I hate the thought of you getting hurt! I HATE IT!" Tears had begun to swell in her blue eyes but the silken hands of Peach on her cheek put her sour emotions at bay. A smile crossed the blonde's as she pulled Daisy into a gentle hug. She smelt so good to the younger, like strawberries and cream.
"You worry too much. Today will be wonderful and Bowser free okay? Now just relax because you have a lot of guests you need to greet!"
By the first hour, Daisy's arm felt as if it would fall off from how bad her muscles ached. Wave after wave of guests came pouring through the main door and it was the younger Princess's job to greet every single one until Peach could make her proper introduction. She counted herself lucky she missed the first wave. Peach's 21st birthday was understandably big deal with Daisy's own 19 coming close around the corner. When it was her turn to celebrate, she would buy a giant sandbox, fill it with cookies and pudding, and have people dig out delicious treats. Peach would have to be the last one in so she could greet everyone in both Sarasaland and Mushroom Kingdom, of course.
Deciding on a break 10 minutes early, the Princess ditched the door in favor of the punch bowl where she spotted a tall lanky man dressed in green mindlessly looking around. Smiling sincerely, she had managed to sneak up behind him leaning gently on the snack table.
"You are enjoying yourself?" She asked slyly as Luigi's espresso eyes glittered down at her.
"Yes, very much." He smiled back handing the Princess her own cold cup. Although he tried, Luigi could never tear his eyes away from the dark haired beauty. Still he knew she only love him as a dear and close friend, he only dared to hope for more until today. It would be today that he would take his turn, roll the dice and open up his heart to her. "Mario is going to be a bit late. Had trouble deciding what overalls to wear…Peach hasn't made her entrance huh?"
"How perceptive." She poked letting the cold drink slide down her throat enjoying it thoroughly. Her gown was just a bit too hot for the May weather. About to get another glass she hesitated catching Luigi staring again. "What's wrong?" She asked naively, surprised by the sudden rosy color on the plumber's olive cheeks. "Luigi?"
A knot had formed in the devotee's stomach as his grip had seemingly become weak that he gripped his fragile cup so hard, it shattered cutting his hand.
"Oh my, Luigi your hand!" She gasped grasping a cloth napkin for the bleeding hand. Daisy had always counted herself lucky that blood had no effect on her, especially since the liquid had sprayed partly on her gown.
"I'm so sorry." Luigi quickly apologized embarrassed as a guard toad came over to check out the small commotion. "Your dress, Daisy I'm so sorry." The brunette hushed him with both her warm smile and her finger to his lips.
"Think nothing of it. My problem is fixed with a simple dress change. You on the other hand are to report downstairs and get your wound dressed." Disheartened, Luigi had no choice but to obey as the Princess took upstairs to the guest room. With a sigh she would strip of her ball gown in favor of her favorite scarlet sundress hemmed with a soft gold fabric. Her pale shoulders felt more exposed than she liked, but it was a small price to pay for both the freedom and relief from the hot weather. Never in 1000 years would she figure out how Peach was always so comfortable. When she slipped on a pair of silk ruby slippers, her heart would leap into her throat at ear piercing sound of shattering glass.
"Oh no…" She murmured darting back to the great hall as fast as her feet could carry her. Her fears had proven correct the second she the broken glass, frightened guests, and to her horror, and large groups of armored koopa troops. Daisy stood as tall as she could feeling her cheeks grow warm.
"What…What do you want?" Daisy demanded gathering most of her courage, her voice as strong as her position demanded. "Her royal Highness Princess Toadstool is not here. I must ask you all to leave immediately in the Princess's absence."
A cackle came from the mob as an older than dirt koopa woman floated above her peers on a broom stick pointing at Daisy with a purple jeweled scepter.
"A nice try Princess Peach but do you really think that a new hair style and dress can really fool us?"
"What? You think I'm Peach?" The brunette inquired lifting her brow as the witch came a mere 6 feet away from Daisy, her wand pointed at her face.
"Shut up. You are officially a prisoner of his Evilness King Bowser!" A light was emitted from the jewel and almost instantly Daisy was magically tied tight in ropes.
"What?! What do you think you're doing, LET ME GO!" Her feet thrashed about and attempted to kick, but the spell had made her legs like lead weights.
"Daisy!" She heard Luigi call out as she continued to struggle against her bonds. The plumber must have just come back from tending to his wounds when he saw what was going on. "Daisy!" He called out once more before being hit with one of Kammy's spell.
"Luigi!" Daisy cried seeing her dear friend fall to the ground cold before she herself was taken through the glassy hole in the wall.
