I'm back with the fourth chapter! Remember when Daisy invited Mario and Luigi to her castle? Well, this is what happens... Also, it's the first chapter without Peach in it.
James Birdsong: Thank you!
Da Guest: I was having a little trouble with my middle school fic, hence the delay. It's updated now though. And I'll try to sound a little less insecure next time. Thanks for reading!
phantombullets240: That's true. Even though I wouldn't have called myself a selfish child, I always felt a bit of regret in giving away the toys I never played with... but then I forgot all about them once they were out of the house! I guess it's just in children's nature to be that way. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Steel Fairy: I like to think that in this specific fanfic, Link and co are fictional and the Mario characters are "real". Though in other fics, Link might be real too, just living in a different universe to Mario. It all depends on what story it is. You can interpret it whatever way you want since it doesn't affect the plot, this is just what's in my own head. Thanks for reviewing!
Colorful and Free: There's a reason why I made Toadsworth favour Peach over the others: now, it's a while since I saw this so sorry if it's inaccurate or lacking detail, but there's a cutscene in Partners in Time where I think Baby Mario, Luigi and Peach are in trouble but Toadsworth only saves the Princess, leaving the other two to save themselves? I could be wrong though since it's been a couple of years. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Robot Wolf 26Z: Very true! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

"Bye Papa!"
"Bye boys, see you in a few hours!"
The twins barely looked back as they ran into Sarasaland Castle with Daisy. Queen Rose shut the door, and the redheaded Princess smiled excitedly.
"So... wanna see my games?"
"Yeah!"
They ran upstairs and into her playroom, with the Princess leading the way. Both brothers gasped in awe as she opened the door. Their own room was nowhere near as messy as this! Toys littered the floor, and the deep orange carpet was completely obscured by her many possessions.
Luigi stepped inside first, but unfortunately for him, he slipped on a ball as he entered, landing on a pile of building blocks.
"Oooooooowwwwww!" he yelled, laid flat on the blocks.
"Luigi! Are you okay?" Daisy asked. Mario held out his hands, and helped Luigi up.
"Oww..." he said, rubbing his back. "It hurts..."
"Will I tell Mommy?"
"Yeah..."
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" shouted the redhead at the top of her voice. They heard footsteps, and within moments the Queen was peeping in the door.
"Yes?"
"Luigi fell on my blocks!"
"Oh, are you okay?" she asked, noticing his tears.
"N-no..."
"Don't worry, you'll be fine in a bit," she reassured him, patting his shoulder. She glanced at the blocks, then looked around the room. "This room does need to be tidied... Why don't you all play outside while I clean this place up?"
"No, I have to show them my games!"
"Oh, okay then. Tell me when you're finished and I'll clean it up then. Have a nice time!"
She walked away, leaving them alone. "So this is my DS," said Daisy, somehow getting around the mess unhurt. "Look! And these are my games. Wanna play?"
"Yeah!"
Mario looked longingly at Luigi as he sat on a pillow next to Daisy. It was all his twin had spoken about lately, and he was so lucky to be getting the Nintendo.
"Mario! Wanna watch us?"
"Yeah!"
The orange princess handed the console to Luigi. She showed him how to turn it on, and when the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass game came on, she tried to teach him how to play it. He wasn't very quick at learning, however, and by the time he got the hang of it, Daisy was bored.
"Can we do something else now?"
"Okay..." Luigi replied reluctantly.
"But I didn't get a go!" protested Mario.
"... You can take this home with you, and you can take all my games!"
"But..."
"You have more games?" asked the boy in green. It seemed as if neither was interested in what Mario wanted, which was to play the game now, not later.
"Yep."
She opened a drawer, and the twins' eyes widened. There were about fifty different games, and all going to them!
"Here Luigi, here's your DS. Mario? Do you want one too?"
"You have two DS's?"
"Yeah. Here you go! I'll ask Mommy to put them in a bag. Mommy, Mommy!"
After a minute or two, her mother returned. "What is it, sweetheart?"
"Can you put the DS's and the games into a bag?"
"Why?"
"I'm giving them to Mario and Luigi!"
"Daisy... are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yep. Can we go outside now Mommy?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Woohoo!"
They ran downstairs, through the enormous castle and eventually reached the back garden, which was equally huge. Daisy grabbed a football from the middle of the grass and began to do keepie-uppies.
"Look what I can do guys!" she said, her boastful nature evident.
"Cool! Let me try!"
She threw it at Mario, who made a decent attempt, considering it was his first time.
"And look what else Daddy taught me to do!" She placed the ball on her foot and balanced it.
"Can I try now?" asked Luigi.
"Yep!" She unintentionally threw it much too hard towards her friend, and it bounced off his head with a thump. The force made him collapse, and he lay on the ground, unmoving.
"Ah, Luigi, are you okay?" exclaimed Mario in his Italian accent. "Luigi?"
They both walked over to him, and his eyes were closed. By now they were both really scared.
"Luigi?" said Daisy, shaking him. "Luigi, wake up!"
"Is he dead?"
The tomboy went pale. "D-dead?"
Mario's eyes were wide with fear and worry. Daisy nudged him with her foot a couple of times, but gave up when he wouldn't respond. Tears formed in her big blue eyes as she drew breath and started to cry loudly. Mario watched in horror as snot flowed out of her nose, her face turned an unattractive shade of red and her wails echoed through the garden.
Eventually, her father arrived on the scene.
"What's going on here, huh?"
"I d-didn't mean it, D-Daddy! I didn't mean to m-make him d-die!"
"What?"
"Luigi's d-dead, Daddy! He's dead! I hit him with my ball a-and now he's dead! It was an accident!"
King Daffodil, highly doubting his supposed death, decided to take a look at Luigi.
"So you hit him with a ball?"
"Y-yeah..."
"Where did you hit him?"
"O-on the head..."
The King nodded. "Hmm. I believe Luigi has got concussion. We'd better take him to the doctor. He should be fine in a while."
"S-so he's not dead?"
"No Daisy, he's not, okay? Come here..." He hugged his daughter, who soaked his royal robes with her tears.
Meanwhile, Mario kneeled down and whispered, "Wake up, bro. Wake up."
After a few seconds, Luigi's eyes fluttered open. He sat up slowly in a daze, wondering where he was and what had just happened.
"Luigi, you're awake!" said Mario joyfully, smiling at him.
"Luigi!" Daisy jumped out of her father's arms and ran to her friend, giving him a huge hug, almost choking him. "You're not dead!"
"Dead?" he said. "W-what happened?" He winced. "My head..."
"Shhh, you're okay," King Daffodil said. He decided not to tell him about the incident just yet. "We'd better get you inside."
I hope this information is correct... I did do research on concussions and from what I read it seems like this situation is possible, but I could be wrong, I don't know. Let me know what you think in the reviews!
