The reception area was gorgeous. It was taking place in the grand ballroom of the castle.

In the room scattered around, we're circular tables, seating 8, draped with maroon cloth that had gold trim. The centerpieces were a single candle placed in a glass case, with red and white roses surrounding them. The head table seated 8, (Mario, Peach, Daisy, Luigi, Toadsworth, Toad, and Daisy's parents), a long white table that had maroon sashes across the front. Dinnerware was gold, including the goblets used for drinking, and the lighting was bright and beautiful until it was time for the couples' first dance.

Mario and Luigi's good friend Yoshi was working the music tonight, and as guests were settling into their seats, he clinked his glass with a fork to get everyone's attention so he could announce the bridal party and parents. "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for joining us tonight on a very special day. It is now my honor to welcome a few very important guests." Yoshi beamed.

"First to join us, the kind friends of ours from afar. King and Queen Thorne of Sarasaland Kingdom!"

The crowd gave a good share of hoots and hollers as the King and Queen graciously stepped forward, arm in arm, taking a seat at the right end of the head table next to each other.

"Next I would like to welcome Peach's two most trusted servants to the Toadstool family, one of them like a father to her since he had raised her since she was just a child. Sir Toadsworth and his son, Toad!"

Another roar of applause was extracted as Toad, beaming, shuffled along, to the head table just ahead of his father, who was shuffling along a little slower with his small cane and his spectacles hanging off his nose.

"And of course two very close friends to our bride and groom tonight…well…one being the brother of one, I welcome the one and only, the maid of honor and best man, Princess Daisy and Luigi Mario!"

Another round of applause was heard, a few people even standing for the two were just as loved across the land as the newlyweds. Though Luigi wasn't always the hero and was quite clumsy, people loved him for his sense of humor, sweetness and how athletic he was. Daisy, however, was not known to be shy. She was quite the athletic tomboy, and very outgoing. Some even said she was prettier than Peach. Once she was older, her features began to mature. She grew out her hair for one, usually wearing it down and completely straight, or in a ponytail. Despite the countless compliments she received and everyone praising her confidence, she surprisingly wasn't as lucky as Peach when it came to men.

The two linked arms and started walking, Luigi looked nervous as ever.

"Mama mia," he thought to himself. "I look silly next to this enchanting woman. Daisy, that awkward, silly, brace face of a girl from years ago...is a woman."

They then reached the head table, and Luigi, to his surprise, found himself pulling out a chair for her.

"Oh, Luigi how sweet of you. Thank you." She brushed his hand with her white gloved hand as she took a seat causing him to blush profusely, then quietly taking a seat. He sat down quickly and quietly after getting her seated.

Luigi, sweating bullets and shaking slightly, took a seat a couple seats away, leaving space for Peach and Mario, and tried his best not to look down as Daisy crossed her legs, the slit in her dress showing off a bit of leg.

"Alright people," Yoshi said. "It is now my honor to introduce the couple of the hour, no, the century! The new King and Queen. . .King and Queen Mario Mario of Mushroom Kingdom!"

Everyone in the ballroom stood up clapping and cheering as they entered. Mario wore his same attire, but Peach was now in a simple, but elegant white dress. It sparkled in the chandelier light and the back was low, showing off her beautiful skin and the shape o her back. The two of them had a crown placed on top of their head. They both were grinning ear to ear, Mario waving to everyone and Peach blowing kisses. The lights in the hall then dimmed, as they made their way to the dance floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, It's now time for our newlywed's first dance," Yoshi said quietly, as he started up their favorite song.

It was the song they danced to on their first date. A beautiful ballad, sung in Italian that was sung by one of Mario's favorite singers, Pavarotti. He gave Peach a slight twirl, and then pulled her close, one hand around her waist and another entangled in her fingers. Peach rested a head on Mario's shoulder; the two not saying a word; there was no need to. They slowly swayed to the music, eyes closed, enjoying each others presence. Peach brought her head up for just a moment and kissed Mario lightly, but passionately. The crowd was silent except for a few "aww's" and sniffles; it was indeed a beautiful sight.

The song ended and there was light applauding as Mario dipped his beautiful bride and then escorted her to the head table. Peach sat next to Daisy, giggling about how romantic Mario just was, and Mario sat next to her, but turned his attention to Luigi.

"Luigi my brother, how are you?" Mario beamed. "You look uneasy, are you going to be sick?"

"M-Mario," Luigi stuttered. "I'm dumbfounded. I can't believe that's Daisy. The Princess Daisy."

"Luigi there's no reason to be so nervous! I can tell the girl has been interested in you since I came to sit down at this table. Just go ask her to dance after the dinner."

"Oh no Mario I couldn't, she would want t-to dance with a k-klutz like me."

Mario rolled his eyes. "Suit yourself, brother."

As the meals were being cleaned up and the servants were clearing tables, Yoshi started up the crowd with a lively tune, Peach and Daisy soon lifted right out of their seats and rushed to the dance floor. Both brothers we're getting an eye full. Mario couldn't stop, he watched as Peach danced with Daisy, the dress accentuating all the right curves of her body.

Luigi was of course, eying Daisy, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Her beauty, it was breathtaking, and the way she was dancing, heated him up inside like nothing ever had. Her big blue eyes made him feel lost at sea, her Auburn hair softly surrounding her beautiful face, her peach skin glowing, her pink cheeks innocent even though they sat below those seductive eyes, and her ruby lips we're quite lustful.

"Oh le mie stelle, è la cosa più bella che ho visto. Quelle gambe. Quella figura. Così caldo" Luigi said mouth open slightly. Daisy's parents and the two toads looked at Luigi, quite confused, but Mario new exactly what his brother said. Daisy's father raised an eyebrow, eying Luigi carefully.

"Luigi, did you just say what I think you said?" Mario said, shocked. "For the love of Koopas Luigi come with me, get your butt out on that dance floor and dance with her!"

Mario pulled his little brother out of the chair and to the dance floor, Mario then danced over to Peach, dancing quite close to her, but so we're many others couples that we're out on the dance floor.

Come on Luigi, you can do this, just walk up to her and ask to dance…

Luigi started toward Daisy, who turned around, noticed he was coming, and smiled.

Oh there he is! Daisy thought. Please ask me to dance ohhh please ask me to dance!

As Luigi got closer, the laces on his shoe made there way into his footing and

*Bam!*

He had fallen right into Daisy, knocking them both to the floor.

"Ohhh…ouch." Luigi exclaimed as he rubbed his forehead.

"Oh dear." Daisy said.

When the two made eye contact, they both went bright red, their faces just inches apart. Daisy looked down and was the first to notice Luigis rather embarrassing hand placement.

"Oh umm, Luigi…" She whispered, and that's when Luigi looked down.

His right hand was placed just on top of her chest. He froze for a second before quickly jumped up and brushed himself off. He reached out a hand and helped Daisy up.

"M-m-mama mia p-p-pr-princess. " "I..I...I am t-t-t-terribly, terribly sorry!"

Peach and Mario witnessed the whole thing. Mario was actually afraid for his brother; he didn't know what Daisy would do. Peach on the other hand, wasn't too afraid, for Daisy was quite forgiving, and Daisy had quite the crush on Luigi.

"Oh Luigi don't worry it's quite alr-" But before Daisy could finish, Luigi was gone.

Luigi had run out of the ballroom, into one of the many small bathrooms on the first floor. He sunk to the floor, hands in his face; on the verge of tears about what he did to the one person he was trying to impress. He reached over and locked the door, in case anyone we're to barge in, and he just sat on the floor, miserable and embarrassed as ever.

"Mama Mia...what have I done? Now I'll never have a chance with her! What if her father saw?" *gulp* "Try not to think about it Weedge…just stay in here until the party is over and she is gone."

"I think I better go talk to him", Mario said to the two girls, and with that, he rushed off to go find his twin brother…

So this is chapter two! Tell me what you think. I am open to requests and Ideas for future chapters. I hope you enjoyed!
