A/N: Hey guys! Shout out to frogger929 and James Birdsong- it's nice to know that someone read the story and put an effort into writing a comment. Anyway, you guys all owe me one because I'm writing this about 45 minutes before my en pointe class. So yeah, just read now. Sorry that it's kinda short- I didn't have much time.

The car was surprisingly fast, and Peach was soon desperately trying to hold down her floaty skirt. She glanced over at Mario, and saw how much fun he was having, though she didn't know why. Surely he couldn't be enjoying the fact that her skirt was flying up, could he? If he was… that pervert. But somehow, Peach couldn't fathom Mario, the boy of her dreams, being that type of boy.

Finally, the little Italian sports car pulled up to Kingdoms United School for the Rich (KUR), and they all saw that the school was decorated in the school colors- pink and yellow. That was to represent the founders of the school, who happened to be Peach and Daisy's fathers. Kings of Sarasaland and the Mushroom Kingdom had been very chummy in those days, so they made an exclusive school for the smart and the rich ONLY.

Daisy squealed with delight and hopped out of the car, not bothering to open the door. Mario gentlemanly opened the door for Peach, and escorted her to the door.

How sweet and kind he is… I'm so happy he chose to ask me to come to prom with him!

Mario led Peach, Daisy, and Luigi into the main hallways, where people looked over at them and greeted them in excited, friendly voices.

"Hey Mario!"

"I didn't know you were coming tonight, Daisy!"

"Are you guys, like, a couple now?"

"Oh my gosh! I love your dress, Peach!"

"Luigi! Is that a top hat? So cute!"

Mario basked in the attention, Luigi ignored it for the most part, and Daisy and Peach sort of stayed to the side, not speaking unless spoken to. They both knew that this was a daily thing for Mario and Luigi, but they had never actually experienced it, not in their lives!

I suppose this is what it will be like when I'm the queen of the Mushroom Kingdom… though Peach, smiling as they walked down into the gym, where pounding music could be heard.

As they entered the gym, Daisy whooped. The Fungus Fun-Guys were the band playing all the music, and they happened to be Daisy's favorite band. Peach knew for a fact that Daisy had a crush on the lead singer, Danny Toadly. Although he was half- toad, that didn't really bother her. The only way you could tell he was half toad was because of the hat he always wore, the signature red hat with white polka dots that only toadlings could pull off. And boy, did he pull it off well.

Luigi, noticing that Daisy was distracted by the attractive lead singer, abruptly grabbed her hand and put a hand on her waist. Soon they were dancing, and they disappeared into the crowd of teenagers.

Mario soon followed example, and Peach and he were dancing in no time. Peach had never had so much fun. They danced and danced and danced for hours, just enjoying themselves. Peach had to learn how to dance to a pop band; she had only ever danced ballroom. But Mario was patient, and showed her how to turn, jump, grind, and flail. She caught on quickly.

At about 10:30, the Fungus Fun- Guys started to add in more slow songs, one by one. During their song, "Luma's in the Sky", Mario began to slow dance with Peach. Peach waltzed from side to side, her hands on Mario's back and arm. Suddenly, she felt one of his hands sliding to her lower back. She shuddered uncomfortably, and his hand slid lower onto her behind.

Peach looked at Mario, and said, "Hands above the equator, and eyes up soldier!" in a distinctively authoritative voice. In the voice of a queen.

Mario started, and did as she had told him.

Why did he do that? pondered Peach. Is it because he loves me, and wants to be more intimate? Or because he's just lustful? I hope with all my heart it's the former, and not the latter.
