A/N: I'm not expecting this story to get very far because Daisy is in it, but I'm gonna go through with it anyway. Thank you to all of your who are reading though! It really means a lot!

[f/f] = Favorite Flavor

The doors to a frightful mansion creaked open and the laughs of boos could be heard in the distance. The bright, full moon shined down onto 12 races, illuminating their features and separating them from the horrid shadows of the night. Lamp posts twinkled in the night and the branches of dead trees swayed in the wind. The countdown commenced and our racers were off, some gaining more of a boost than others.

You were placed upon Bowser's shoulders again and was perplexed by the mansion's strange dining room. The tables moved back and forth and you could see them from an odd angle. All of your observations were interrupted as Bowser handed you a red horn. You peeked over your shoulder and witnessed a sneaky Peach behind you with a green shell. She threw the shell at you, but the horn came to the rescue, blowing the green shell to pieces and smacking away a quick Luigi.

After flying past a bunch of interesting book shelves, you and your King were thrust into a maze of water. You were given a single mushroom from the last item box and before you could use it, Bowser made a terrible drift, sending both of you into a wall.

"Use your brakes, Beefcake!" you screamed, using the mushroom to your advantage and gaining speed once more.

The Koopa King made it through the waters and before you could blink, you were being flown over a beautiful garden full of boos and an extravagant fountain.

"Oh, honey! We should buy a fountain!" you squealed. "Like, one that shoots lava!"

"Didn't we just buy a-"

Just as the kart landed, both of you were struck by lightening and miniaturized. This was no big deal, until a large Mario sped by with a smile on his face. Now, it was personal. The first lap ended and the following two is when things began to heat up. Red shells were thrown left and right, places were swapped multiple times and bullets were obtained, but still, you and your husband were falling behind. Mario was leading the pack and it pissed you off to no end.

During the final half of the 3rd lap, the kart seemed to be slowing down. Being in 7th was no good, but luck struck at the last second. You twiddled the blue shell in your fingers and lit it with flames.

"Are you cheating up there?" Bowser asked without looking.

"No, just adjusting." you lied, before throwing the flaming blue shell ahead.

You watched in awe as the shell purposely targeted everyone in front of you, knocking your opponents off of the track and into the grass. Finally the shell put an end to a winning Mario, creating a huge blue and red explosion. Bowser crossed the finish line in 1st and you pretended not to know what happened at all, watching over your shoulder as a few baffled losers finished the race.

Everyone came to a stop in the library and as soon as you hopped off of your hubby's shoulders, an angry Waluigi marched up to you and put a gloved finger into your face.

"Cheater!" he yelled.

"What?!" you gasped, pretending to be alarmed.

"Waluigi saw you!" the purple plumber grumbled, getting into your face. "He-a saw you cheat!"

"I would never cheat!" you lied, looking offended.

The comedic other grabbed one your hands in his hand and pointed to your fingers with the other.

"Fire came-a from your fingertips! He saw it! He-"

Waluigi stopped himself and gazed up into the eyes of a rather annoyed Bowser. He stood over you and fire flamed from beyond his jaws as he placed a single hand onto one of your shoulders. A deep growl echoed through the library and the Italian stepped back immediately, hiding behind a wide-eyed Wario. The King reached down and rubbed your hand, making sure that his Queen wasn't hurt. Not only did you hate it when people touched you, but he hated it as well.

You were his queen and belonged to no one other than him. He'd made the biggest decision of his life to marry you and an even bigger decision to protect you and keep you safe. If someone laid a finger on you or hurt you in any way, he wouldn't allow them to get away with it. Even if you took care of them by yourself, he still had to get his share of the beating.

Yes, you were small to him and considered fragile through his eyes, but he never put any force on you. Unless you wanted him to and it was in the bedroom. But that was another story.

"You're crusin' for a brusin', lanky purple nerd." the Koopa growled, eying everyone in the room.

"Now, look what you did." you sighed. "You've gone and made him mad."

Mario stepped over warily and handed you the hat full of names. Bowser snarled at the plumber, but you gave the King a pat on the stomach, calming him down a bit. That was his weak spot and he was fairly ticklish there, but he'd never tell anyone. You reached into the hat and rumbled your fingers around, hoping to pick something of interest.

You pulled the piece of paper from the hat, but before you revealed it, you thought:

"Why not have a juice break?"

Peach's blue eyes lit up with excitement. She originally planned to have a juice break with everyone as soon as the race was over, but her plans were dismissed when Waluigi began to claim that you were cheating. She clapped happily to herself and walked over to her kart. You rolled your eyes in reply. She was such an idiot. The Princess pulled a big pink bag from the back of her kart and began to deal out the small bottles of juice.

"I hope everyone enjoys!" the blonde squealed. "I have strawberry, kiwi, blueberry, orange and fruit punch!"

Now was your turn to spring up. You heard your favorite flavor in there somewhere.

"Yo, Dais!" you called to the orange princess next to Peach. "Toss me a [f/f]!" The ginger was quick to obey your wishes, picking a [f/f] juice out of the Pink Princess's hot pink duffel bag. She tossed the juice over to you and you caught it without thinking. "Oh and a fruit punch for the big guy."

Another toss, another catch. You turned to your grumpy husband and held the red juice up to his nose. He ignored you and you knew exactly why.

"Scared that Mario's going to try to poison you or something?" you muttered and Bowser turned to you immediately.

"You know about it, too?!"

You mentally face-palmed yourself before replying to his outburst.

"If he poisons you, I'll burn him and his friends. Besides, these juices have caps on them, sugar." you reassured. "They haven't been touched."

"That's what that sneaky little nerd wants you to think." Bowser scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest.

Now, he was just being paranoid. Yeah, Mario was a bit of a goomba to everyone around him but the Princess, and he always caused trouble whenever Bowser wanted to commence his plans of world-wide domination, but you doubted that he'd actually poison someone. He was annoying and vile, but he wasn't that annoying and vile. Poisoning someone is something that you would've done.

"We're ready to go, [y/n]!" Daisy called to you and you pitied yourself for not having the time to drink your juice.

You placed the juices onto the red carpet of the haunted mansion and reached into your shirt, receiving the piece of paper that you pulled earlier. You didn't have to unroll the paper halfway to know exactly where you were going. A shiver ran up your spine and your teenage years were on reply in your mind.

"Well?" Bowser asked from behind you.

"Let me just… get my coat."
