Chapter 2: Daisy
As she waved goodbye to the red Italian plumber who had saved her, a girl with auburn hair clad in a bright yet elegant orange dress returned to her home of the peaceful kingdom of Sarasaland, neighbor of the Mushroom Kingdom. "Princess! Thank goodness your back! I was so worried about you!" The girl smiled back at one of her most trusted attendants. "Thanks James. And I could've gotten out myself, but that guy in red went to so much trouble t save me that I didn't want to disappoint him." James nodded in reply. "Of course princess." "Oh, and James?" "Yes?" "Call me Daisy." James smiled again. "Of course… Daisy."
It felt good for Daisy to be back home again. She had recently been rescued by Mario from the evil alien Tantanga. But now she was here. Sarasaland. As everyone pretty much agreed, Daisy was a fair ruler and it was a scary thought to think what Sarasaland would be like without her. However, Daisy believes that Sarasaland doesn't need her as much as it thinks. She thoughtbeing a princess was rather boring, but being a daughter of the Floral Family. The Florals were the royal family here in Sarasaland, but Daisy feels as if she should live a normal life like a normal girl. Most girls would kill to be a princess, but personally, Daisy believed being a princess was rather boring. While there were some benefits to being princess, Daisy thought leading a kingdom was too much of a hassle. They didn't really need her too much. When she is away on vacation does the kingdom go crazy? No. When she was late for public occasions, did they freak out? No. Did the kingdom go into chaos when she was kidnapped by Tantanga? No. She would happily stay obligated to her homeland, and despite being a princess she still did normal civilian things, despite being scolded by advisors. She had a strong passion for athleticism and played sports with all kinds of people regularly… and dominated regularly. Soccer, baseball, tennis, kart races, golf, you name it, she plays it. Despite all this, Daisy found her life somewhat boring without some excitement. She was actually somewhat relieved being captured by Tantanga merely because of the excitement. But no everything was now back to normal… all Daisy could do was sigh…
1 month later…
Daisy was in her personal tennis court playing against a castle guard. They played until he finally hit it out. "Whew! That was a good game! Better luck next time!" Daisy gave him her girly smile. The man shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a sports drink. As she sat on a bench, her aide, James, came by. "Princess, it appears you have a letter from a Mr. Mario." Daisy looked over at James. "I already told you a million times. Stop calling me 'Princess! I don't call you 'slave' or 'servant' do I?" "You think of me as a slave your Highness?" Daisy smiled again. "No, I consider you a loyal 'volunteer' of the royal family and a friend." James was now smiling too. "Yes well, your letter?" Daisy eyed an envelope with a mushroom stamp. She read, "Dear Daisy, as I have told you, I'm currently in a relationship with your friend Peach. I have special events planned requiring your attendance. There's someone I'd also like you to meet…" She read the rest and was filled with glee. "James, help pack my bags. We're going to the Mushroom Kingdom!" What was the occasion? Who was she to meet? Time, and fate, would tell…
