In the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach and Princess Daisy were getting ready for the camping trip. Both princesses were packing away quickly, excited that they were finally going to have their first official date with the Mario Brothers, with the couples just spending time around the castle and such. As the Mario Brothers had told them to, the princesses went to work packing away the necessity components for their camping trip.
For Princess Peach who was thrilled to be spending time with her beau, Mario, packed up the various outdoor wear she would be wearing which had the same theme with each of her clothes being colored pink. She packed away her pink sleeping bag and pink pillow as well. She tied it all together in a small pink backpack as she checked her room to make sure she wasn't leaving anything behind. She then made a quick cleaning of her room before shutting it closed, leaving it abandoned for the next day or two. Peach then made her way to Daisy's guest room, who was still packing up. She knocked on her door, wanting Daisy to answer it. "Daisy you almost done in there?" Peach asked, trying to urge her to hurry up as they didn't want to make the Mario Brothers wait for them than they needed to in order to get ready. "The Mario Brothers are going to be here soon."
"I'm coming. I'm coming." Daisy replied as she was finishing up packing her stuff too. She was also excited about this camping trip, wanting the opportunity to spend some quality alone time with Luigi. Daisy packed away her orange-yellow various outdoor wear that she would be wearing for the camping trip. She also packed away her orange-yellow sleeping bag and orange-yellow pillow as well. She also packed away a ghost story book, in which she cast a devious smirk upon her face. "Those boys are goanna squeal like piggies when I read them these stories." She then had her mind on Luigi, which made her devious smile turn into a playful one. "Weegee's goanna look so cute doing that." She then put all of the items into her orange-yellow small backpack as she tidied up her room a bit. She then exited outside her door, where Peach would be standing a few feet in front of her, waiting until Daisy was done to go into the lounge room, where they would wait for the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom.
"Ready?" Peach asked.
"Yep. I can't wait to get this camping thing or whatever it's called started." Daisy said with an enthusiastic tone as they made their way down into the lounging room. They sat around in the couches set about, talking about how they thought the whole camping trip was going to be like. "I am psyched to get this trip going. It will be a nice change of pace instead of doing the whole princess thing routine. "
"I admit," Peach replied with a small smile on her face. "It would be a nice change of pace instead of tending to royalty matters and getting the occasional kidnapping by that Bowser dweeb." Daisy nodded, although she had mixed feelings about the last statement that Peach had made considering that surely this time Bowser was dead by the way the four of them observed The Ranger defeated him in the Sky Arena a few weeks ago.
"I'm sure Bowser's got to be rid of this time. I mean all four of us so Bowser go down into that abyss below. I wouldn't have seen a reason for him to come back from something like that." Daisy replied with a bold confidence on her face. Peach, on the other hand, was a bit skeptical.
"I can't agree with you on this Daisy." Peach replied, her look becoming more of a serious and concerned tone. "I thought the same way when Bowser fell into the lava pit the first time he captured us, but you convinced me otherwise and there he was trying to capture us again. So I have a feeling he'll return but we just won't expect it." Peach suddenly had a gloomy expression on her face, to which Daisy wanted that change.
"Come now," Daisy replied, putting her hand on Peach's shoulder. "Today's supposed to be a happy day remember. It's going to be the best of friends going out with the heroes any girl would want. We should be thinking about that rather than some stupid leader whose only going to get his butt kicked time after time." Peach's gloomy expression than changed into a small smile. "There now that's better."
Meanwhile, on the way to Toadstool Castle, Mario and Luigi were making their way towards Toad Town, where the crowds gathered to the influencing presence of the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. The toads cheered for them, still euphoric from their last victory against Bowser. Mario and Luigi waved to them, acknowledging how grateful they were to have adorning fans such as this. The Mario Brothers than silenced them, realizing that they had other pressing things to attend to.
"People of the Mushroom Kingdom," Mario said, with everyone in silence as they were in awe of the charismatic voice that the red hero had possessed. "Luigi and I are rather in a hurry to get things prepared for a special occasion. Your total cooperation is most appreciated. So we-" Mario's voice was then cut off by a Toad in the distance as he shouted out a question to both heroes.
"Hey Mario Bros is it true you're dating the princesses!?" The toad asked, followed by a glaring stare at Luigi.
"WILL YOU QUIET DOWN! MARIO'S TRYING TO SPEAK!" Luigi yelled, causing the toad to swallow hard and keep his big mouth shut. "Please continue Mario." Mario then cleared his throat again, going back on his train of thought.
"So we need to ask you wonderful toads if there is a flower shop nearby?" Mario asked with thousands of toads wanting to answer the question for him. However, due to the numerous responses that they were getting, the total aggregation was making the toads seemed incoherent, which was testing Mario's patient. "SILENCE!" Only ONE toad needs to respond thank you!" Mario said, which make all toads shut their mouths except for one.
"Yeah the flower shop is located a few minutes straight ahead. You guys can't miss it." The toad replied, getting a bow of gratitude from both Mario Brothers as they proceeded to make their way to the flower shop. The flower shop was a dainty little shop, no bigger than the other storefronts that seemed to be scattered all over Toad Square. There was a tiny flower garden that made up the front of the store, with more plants of various species inside it. Mario and Luigi opened the door to which the store owner operating the flower shop greeted the brothers, eyes widened in surprise that they were her in this store.
"Good morning fine gentlemen," the store owner said, his voice beaming with excitement that the Mario Brothers decided to enter this store. "What can I do for you fine gentlemen today?
"Good morning my good man," Mario said as he put his hand out to shake the store owner's, which he did so with high enthusiasm. "Listen, Luigi and I need to buy separate flower bouquets for a special occasion we have today."
"Oh a date I see." The store owner says as he gives a friendly smile to both brothers, who smile sheepishly and blush a bit in response, giving the storeowner the satisfaction that he needs. "Well what flowers are you looking for specifically?"
"If you have any petunias they would be great." Mario replied with a smile beaming upon his face.
"Daisies would be great for me." Luigi replied, with Mario giving a sarcastic look over Luigi's direction.
"Really daisies?"
"Come on Mario. Think about it. It's her name, the purchasing of these flowers would make sense."
"Yeah it makes sense you're a cheapo."
"Why you-" The arguing then ceased with the storeowner pounding his right fists on the table, causing the Mario Brothers to give full attention toward him.
"Now boys," the storeowner said as he found both the bouquets that the Mario Brothers requested. "There's no need to fight in my store. The bouquets are free of charge by the way, just for showing your presence over my store. Business is going to be booming for me. Have an excellent day! "The store owner waved them goodbye with a friendly smile, with the Mario Brothers waving them back as they exited the shop with a bunch of customers coming out the other end, making dollar signs show in the storeowner's eyes. "This has got to be my lucky day." The storeowner thought as he spent the rest of the day serving a lot of customer their orders.
"Well that was easy," Mario said as he carried the petunia bouquet that he ordered for Peach as both brother made their way to Toadstool Castle.
"Yeah," Luigi replied as he was carrying the daisy bouquet that he ordered for Daisy. "Now we can go to the princesses not empty handed." Mario silently nodded his head as they approached the bridge to the castle. The crossed the bridge, feeling a little tired from the entire luggage they carrying and knocked on the door, anticipating the princesses to answer it.
