That evening after Daisy was granted permission to embark on the mission, she decided to go buy Luigi a present. She couldn't thank him enough for standing up for her at the Toad town podium. She knew that he always want a pet Yoshi. She went to the pet store, bought him a blue one, and approached the home of the Mario Brothers. She went to knock on their door.

BAM BAM BAM

"Mario who is that at the door?"

Mario took a look outside his window and noticed Princess Daisy with the Yoshi. He was shocked, because he knew how badly Luigi wanted one. She really appreciated what he did for her at the Podium earlier in the day he thought. He also was glad she was here because they were a few things she needed from him for this long week of training.

"Luigi I think you should answer this one!"

"Mario, but what if it's someone I don't like. You know I don't feel comfortable answering the door without knowing who it is."

"Just trust me on this one, bro"

Luigi slowly approached the door. He stared at it for a few seconds and slowly opened the door. His heart fluttered when he saw Daisy. He gasped when he saw the Yoshi. He was speechless for a minute. Finally he gathered some courage to say something to her.

"Daisy….is that…. adorable Yoshi for… me?

"Luigi what you did for me today was amazing. I know how badly you wanted a Yoshi, so I decided to get one as a present."

Luigi smiled excitedly at the flower princess and gave her big hug. Mario watched the duo and thought to himself- Why can't he tell her the truth already? He better tell her when she gets back from the mission. The couple broke off and Daisy went to greet the red plumber.

"Hey Mario, thanks for willing to help me out with training."

"No problem Daisy. But, I'm going to warn you right now, you're going to hate me by the end of the week. I'm really going to challenge you."

"I'm up for anything. I want to be prepared for when the time comes."

"We will be working on getting your balance and endurance up a bit, I'm going to teach you about fighting styles and how to use items, Peach will teach you how to fly, and you need to study a few things from this large book because Luigi will quiz you daily."

He went into the kitchen and pulled out a large book from a small blue drawer. He placed the book in front of the princess feet. Daisy stared at the book in shock. She had never seen a book so thick before. It was about 3000 pages.

"Did you and Luigi ever have to study this?"

"Yes and it's very important for this particular mission. In this book it talks about many different heroes of the Nintendo Universe. It talks about their strengths, weaknesses, their worlds, and items from these worlds. You need to starting reading about this information right away when you get back to Peach's Castle "

Usually reading a book didn't excited Daisy. However the fact it talked about possible enemies in her mission made Daisy excited. She was excited to learn about more potential enemies. She hoped that she would be able to slap them like Bowser.

"Would I be able to slap some of them like Bowser." Daisy asked

"I think a few, but for the most part no" replied Mario.

Luigi looked at the time. It was 8:00 at night. Usually when the Princesses were here they would stay later, but he didn't want Daisy to be exhausted for tomorrow.

"Daisy… you should get going now." said Luigi

"What… it's only 8:00 Weegee…"

"He's right Daisy if you want to quickly study the book and get some rest I'd say do it now." Said Mario

"What time am I going to be woken up for training?"

"Early, very early" replied both plumbers.

…..

Daisy spent three hours reading the book before going to bed last night. She had about 1,000 pages of it left. At this point she knew about 1/3 of the possible enemies she might face. Some of them scared her a bit (like ganondrof), other she thought were hilarious (King Deedeedee). She was excited to read the other 2/3 of the book in the next few days. She slept peacefully hoping that the Mario brothers wouldn't wake her up too early.

…..

Three hours later at 3:00 in the morning, Daisy was still sound asleep. Outside of Peach's castle, Mario and Luigi were dressed in their gym clothes. Mario was carrying a set of boom boxes, while Luigi was carrying a backpack full of more books for Daisy's training. They knocked on the door and woke up Princess Peach. She went to answer the door slowly.

"You two are here already?" Said a tired Peach

"Yes, it's important Daisy gets ready" Mario replied.

"Can you two help me wake her up then? That girl is a really heavy sleeper" a frustrated Peach said.

"That's why I got the boom box" said Luigi

The three of them slowly went of stairs to Princess Daisy's bedroom. The slowly opened the door. Luigi slowly connected the boom box, while Mario got up two wigs. Peach tried so hard not to giggle. She knew this was going to be funny to watch. Mario handed one to Luigi and said to Peach- "Are you sure this song is the ONLY one that can wake up Daisy.

"Yes Mario I've tried multiple songs, but she always wakes up to this one."

"Alright Luigi lets put on the wigs then. Peach can you turn on the boom box now?"

Once Peach turned on the Boom box and the song "Whip my hair" by Willow Smith was blasting on the Boom Box. The Mario brothers were singing along loudly and whipping their hair. Daisy finally woke up about a minute into the song and she was trying so hard to laugh. She finally composed herself.

"Peach must have told you two about my wake up song, I see."

Daisy looked at the time and groaned.

"It's only 3:30 in the morning"

"I know Daisy if you want to be ready, you have to have at lot of training done" said Mario

"Get on your gym clothes and meet the three of us at Castle Gym" said Luigi

The three of them left the room to set up the gym, while Daisy quickly got dressed into her gym clothes. When she entered the gym, she noticed that I was divided into three sections. One had ten obstacles course inspired from different Nintendo worlds. Another was a quizzing section. The last one had a sign that fighting, item and flying techniques.

"Each day before you train Daisy you are going to do some stretches. You then are going to run 50 laps in the obstacle courses. Luigi is then going to quiz you the "enemies" you have read in the book. After that myself and Peach are going to work on your fighting and flying techniques for a few hours each."

Daisy was excited about all this, she couldn't wait to begin. However, hearing Mario say all this made Princess Peach uncomfortable. Daisy was going to be put in a lot of pain this week. She was scared that Daisy was going to faint and be sent to the hospital. She was even more worried when she thought about the long hike, the multiple enemies, and the exhaustion she was going to face. She was worried about her possibly dying. Peach had to try and talk Daisy out this before it was too late.

"Look Mario, before we begin can I talk to Daisy about something" said Peach

"Sure Peach, but you need to make it quick!"

Peach lead Daisy outside the gym. Daisy instantly had a bad feeling about this.

"Peach are you O.K, is there something bothering you?"

"Look Daisy I understand that this mission is your dream and all, but I'm really scared for you. The training that Mario is going to do to you is going to exhaust you. I worry that during the mission you may get so overwhelmed and exhausted.

She slowly began and burst into tears

"I'M SCARED I'm going to lose my best friend! I don't want to lose you. You've been like a sister to me. Toadette is nice and all, but it won't be the same without you!"

Daisy approached the crying Princess and gave her a hug. She knew this mission wasn't going to be easy, but she wasn't going to give up now. Peach had to understand that she knew about all these risk. She also had to understand that she wasn't going to give up now.

"Look Peach, I appreciate that you care for my safety and all, but this is something that I've always wanted to do for a very long time. I know about the risks that come with going on an adventure, but I know with Mario's training I'm going to be O.K. He told me last night he was going to go hard on me. When I leave for the mission I'd rather be prepared than unprepared. If I'm prepared the chances of me being overwhelmed, exhausted, and dead are going to decrease. I know I can do this Peach. I know I have what it takes to save everyone. If you want I can ask Mario to give me a few breaks in training if that makes you feel better."

Listening to Daisy's passionate speech made Peach feel better. She still felt a little uneasy letting Daisy go on the mission. However Daisy did make some valid points- she knew the risks at state and she knew that she wasn't going to give up. Peach slowly began to accept this and was less anxious about the mission.

Princess Peach gave Daisy a big hug.

"Lets get you prepared for your mission"

For the next week, Daisy was training really hard with Peach and the Mario brothers. She ran through the obstacles courses over 300 times. At first It was challenging for her because she had no idea what to except from each one. However, she was getting more and more familiar each course and her completion time went from 3hours to only an half and hour. Her favourite course was the Metriod-inspired one due to it's dark and mysterious atmosphere. It reminded her a little of Luigi's mansion. She couldn't stand the Star Fox one because it was the shortest. She also felt that balancing on the airplane was a bit scary.

She was extremely devoted to reading the book. She finished the rest of it in two days and Luigi was impressed with Daisy's strong memorization skills. She could name all the contents of the book in one hour, better than both of the Mario Brothers time (1:30).

Mario also taught her various kinds of fighting styles such as Tae Kwon Do and Karate. He helped her quickly develop flower power abilities and made she knew when she had to use them. And Mario also showed her to use the items from the book. She loved the purple sword because it reminded her of the sword fighting lessons she took with her father in the Sarasaland Palace.

The area that she had trouble with the most was flying. When you had to fly you had to be incredibly graceful. Daisy struggled with remaining graceful because she always went too fast. However Daisy was really determined to nail this. It was the ONLY thing she has not mastered.

On the last day of training she spent extra time mastering the flying skill. All she needed was Peach's approval before she was officially ready for the mission.

"OK, Daisy! I just want to see you fly one more time! I want you to flying around all three sections of the gym without falling off. The most important things I want you to do is relax, breath deeply, and think of being graceful."

"Those three things have been drilled into my brain for a week Peach"

"I know, I know, but you have to do this."

"Yes, I can't send you if you don't have everything perfected" Said Mario

"I believe in you Daisy" replied Luigi

Luigi's comment motivated Daisy as she went to the starting line Peach made.

"Are you ready, get set, GOOOO!"

Daisy's liftoff look a little bit tense at the beginning, but one she took a deep breath she slowly began to relax. She managed to keep her arms from wobbling as her hands held a graceful position (think of the way Peach does It in SSBB). Her legs were curled up into a perfect little ball as she glided across the gym. Peach felt proud that Daisy was finally able to accomplish flying.

"It's taken us seven long grueling days of work, but I believer you are ready to leave for your Mission tomorrow" said an excited Mario

Peach and Luigi ran up and gave Daisy a big hug. They were so proud of all her hard work and accomplishments

"Your going to make me so proud out there" said Peach

"You are going to be a superstar" Luigi exclaimed

Daisy took the time to thank her three companions and went back to her bedroom in Peach's Castle. She couldn't sleep because she was so excited. Daisy's adventure was going to start soon.

- The beginning of the adventure is going to start soon. New characters are going to be introduced in the next chapters. Comment and rate if you like. I'm hoping to get up the next chapter by tomorrow.
