The next morning, the party had ended, and the Toads were busy cleaning up the mess in the grand hall. Daisy had been up for an hour and stood out on the verandah, leaning against the railing and looking into the central hall, where she saw Rosalina walking with Luigi.

"Stupid perfect woman..." Daisy mumbled to herself in a corner. "I've gotta find some way to slip her up. Make her show that I'm the better choice for Luigi. But how...?"

She looked across the room and saw Luigi and Rosalina now speaking. The two of them looked very happy and were laughing and joking away. Daisy began to feel guilt and jealousy, as whenever she spoke to Luigi, he would spend more time listening, as he had a fear of upsetting her.

Eventually, she saw Rosalina excusing herself to go to the washroom, and Luigi nodded. This was her chance to make her move.

"Luigi!" Daisy called out.

"Oh, hi Daisy!" Luigi called back. "Isn't Rosalina the nicest woman you've ever met? I mean, seriously! She guards our universe, she expresses kindness and mercy, and she's just perfect!"

"A perfect pain in the ass..." Daisy mumbled.

"What was that?" Luigi asked.

"A perfect girl from the past!" Daisy close-called.

"She's very nice, Daisy..."

"Yeah." Daisy nodded, sulking at the same time, obviously insincere.

"Awww, Daisy..." Luigi put his hand on the angry tomboy's shoulder. "It isn't what you think at all! We're just close friends!"

Daisy's eyes lit up with a brimmer of hope. "Really?"

"Of course!" Luigi exclaimed, hurt at the hinted accusation. "She's way too old for me! I'm not that desperate."

"So, we're still on?" Daisy asked, hopefully.

"Of course, Daisy!" Luigi cried.

YESSSS! Daisy cheered internally. Eat that, you star-sucking bitch!

"So, I guess you can stop hating her now." Luigi proposed.

"No, I still hate her." Daisy admitted. "She's still trying to take my place, and I really don't appreciate it."

Luigi sighed.

"Besides," Daisy added. "something's just not right about her... She's... too perfect." Daisy concluded her thoughts.

Luigi rolled his eyes. There was no getting through to Daisy, was there?

Daisy waved to Luigi and took her exit to Peach's bedroom for a conversation.

In her room, the princess clad in pink lay on her soft pink bed sheets, dizzy and sick. "Ooooh..." she moaned, holding her head. "I think I drank too much..."

"PEACH!" Daisy yelled out, her voice knifing itself through Peach's skull.

"Daisy, please don't yell..." Peach whined, grabbing her head. Her hair was a bristly mess.

Daisy angrily plopped herself down on the bed beside Peach and grabbed her by both arms. "Am I ugly?"

Peach snickered awkwardly.

"What's so funny?!" Daisy furiously demanded.

"What's that about all of a sudden?" Peach asked, a confused expression on her face.

"I just wanna know; am I ugly?" she demanded again.

"Of course not!" Peach replied, reassuring her yellow-clad friend. "Birdo is ugly. You're not."

"Thanks, Peach." Daisy asked, joyfully.

"Well, again," Peach added, raising her tone. "it depends on who you're comparing yourself to. If to me, then yes, because I am drop-dead gorgeous, but..."

"To Rosalina."

"Sorry, hon." Peach raised a hand. "You can't level with perfection."

"But she's NOT perfect!" Daisy scowled. "I'll prove it!"

"Oh!" Peach exclaimed. "Is she here? I think I may have missed her..."

"The sky witch is still here." Daisy angrily pointed out.

"What is your problem, Daisy?" Peach's calm expression quickly warped into an expression of scorn. "Why are you bashing her so badly?"

"Because she wants to replace me!" Daisy cried. "She wants my position in our franchise, and she wants Luigi!"

"Okay, first; you don't really even have a position in our mainstream franchise..." Peach began.

"She was given one!" Daisy cut in. "I first appeared in a mainstream game; Super Mario Land!"

"That is also a spin-off." Peach corrected. "Now let's take it easy with the fourth-wall smashing, okay?"

"Why am I confined to spin-offs?!" Daisy cried.

"Watch it, Daisy! You'll ruin this fanfic if you keep on-" Peach quickly covered her mouth with both hands upon realization of her statement.

"I don't want to be another Waluigi!" Daisy cried out. "But then again, he doesn't have someone taking his place being with Wario in mainstream games!" Daisy threw her hands up into the air. "But I do! Look! Rosalina is becoming Luigi's new love interest! He lied to my face about it."

Peach remained silent.

"-And I see how you fawn and go all ga-ga around her!" Daisy jabbed her finger at Peach. "What happened to Peach and Daisy? Now it's Peach and Rosalina!"

"But... Rosalina is so kind, so sweet, so considerate of other peoples' feelings, and-"

"I swear! She must be sucking some cocks at Nintendo's headquarters!" Daisy blurted out loud. Then she covered her mouth.

Peach gasped. "DAISY!"

"Uhh..." Daisy felt awkward. "Hi, I'm Daisy?"

"Why would you accuse her of such a thing?"

"Why has she gotten so popular, then?" Daisy whined. "Why does Nintendo favouritize her so bloody much?"

"Because she's great and the fans absolutely love her!" Peach went in her face. "And if you don't like it, too bad!"

"Yeah? Yeah?" Daisy pushed back into her face. "I hope another Princess comes forth and takes your place as Mario's favourite princess! Like you did to Pauline, remember?"

"Daisy, I thought we agreed we'd never bring that up again!" Peach warned.

"Well, too damn bad! That was when it was just Peach and Daisy." Daisy sassed. "Maybe I should get advice from her, then!"

"From who?"

"Pauline."

"Do you know where she lives, even?"

"Uhhh... Do you have a phonebook?"

"She lives somewhere that only Mario knows." Peach replied.

"Maybe she'll take your place, and when you come to me to bitch about it, I'll push you off the way you're doing it to me!" Daisy snagged.

"Oh, Daisy..." Peach exasperatedly sighed. "I am way to popular with the Nintendo staff for that."

"A-ha! So you've been sucking their cocks!" Daisy drew an immediate conclusion.

"No, I HAVE NOT!" Peach yelled, and immediately grabbed the sides of her head due to a massive surge of pain. "I-I meant that I have seniority... I've been around longer than some of the staff members..."

"Right. You're the 'pure-hearted' one." Daisy announced sarcastically. "I'd be more likely to do something of that disgusting caliber, as I'm the all-out tomboy."

Peach looked blankly.

"But I wouldn't dare! I have some class."

"So, are you going to visit Pauline, or not?"

"Naw, I work alone." Daisy jabbed her finger in the air. "And I hereby solemnly vow; I will find the dirt under Rosalina!"

"Good luck." Peach stated.

"Thank you." Daisy replied, walking out the door.

Peach threw herself back into the bed and hid under the covers, hoping her hangover would leave soon...
