How it All Began

Chapter 7

The Rest of the Week

Read and rev- you know what, I'm just gonna cut the crap and let you people read.

Toad softly knocked on the door. "ENTER!" said a crisp, enraged voice. Toad cringed and opened the door. "Toadsworth, sir, I have your tea," he said nervously. He walked over to Toadsworth, who was sitting in a large brown chair, glaring at the fireplace before him. Toad put the tray on the small table next to his chair. He poured it into a small white china cup, decorated with blue flowers. Peach had painted it herself.

Toadsworth took the cup and glared at it as it reminded him of her. He scoffed and took a sip, then spit it out. "What is this? It's too damn hot and it tastes disgusting!" he yelled.

Toad sighed. Toadsworth has been acting like this since Peach ran away. "It's the same tea Ruthie always makes, sir. She even told me to tell you that she made it with extra love today, sir," said Toad.

Toadsworth stood up. "I don't want to hear any more of this nonsense! I want you out of this castle Toad!" he shouted. "What? Why?" cried Toad. This was the only way he can make enough money. "Do not disobey me! Now go!" yelled Toadsworth. Toad stood there and glared at him. Then he walked out the door, slamming it behind him. Toadsworth just scoffed and stared back at the fireplace.

Toad stomped into the workers lounge and to his locker, grabbing his things and stuffed them into a bag. Toadette heard all of the noise and peeked over. "Toad?" she muttered. He looked up at her. "Hey," he said and looked back at his locker. "What are you doing?" she asked, walking up to him. He sighed and looked at her with sad eyes. "I… I got fired," he murmured. Toadette gasped. "What? Why?" she said, tears on the verge of her eyes. Toad shrugged and his face became furious again. "I have no clue! That Toadsworth has been pissed all week! He takes his anger out on me and now I lost my job!" he yelled. Toadette flinched and backed away. "I'm sorry…" she said. Toad calmed down. "No, I'm sorry for yelling," he said and sat down, "what am I gonna do now?"

Toadette sat next to him and kissed his cheek. "You'll figure out something…" she said and walked away. Toad sat there with a hand on his cheek, which was pink.

Mario looked at Peach with worried eyes, but to his surprise, she was smirking. He leaned over. "You're happy?" he whispered. She turned her head and grinned. "Of course I am. This will show Toadsworth that I'm no toy," she whispered back. Mario smiled. From behind, they heard Rebecca shout something. "I think I should be the new princess. I mean, I am perfect," she said chuckling. Peach growled and ignored it.

The bell rang and the three walked out. Daisy then caught Luigi's arm. He turned around in shock. "Oh, hi Daisy," he said nervously. She smiled. "You're still coming to Fridays game, right?" she asked. Luigi nodded his head. "I'll be there, promise."

She giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek. Luigi's face flushed with red and pink colors. Before they could say anything else, Daisy ran off to Rebecca. "What the hell was that?" said Rebecca, making a disgusting face. Daisy scowled and walked ahead. "Nothing."

Things with Brandon started getting worse with Peach. He gave her a hug when they walked into Music. Mario scowled and pulled Peach away. He glared at Brandon, telling him to back off with his eyes.

The thing about that class was that the teacher gave a lot of free time. So during that time in the middle of class, Brandon sat down next to Peach. He pulled out a red bow from his pocket and started to clip in onto her hair. She flinched and backed away. "What are you doing?" she growled. He just smiled. "I found this at the store and thought of you," he said in a romantic voice. Then it was Mario's turn to snap. He got up from the table and pushed Brandon off of his seat. "Will you back off? Go find your own girlfriend!" he said. Brandon didn't fight back, which shocked Mario. He just got up and shrugged. "Calm down, I'm just being nice," he said, and walked out of the room. Mario eyed him suspiciously.

"He's really starting to annoy me…" Peach muttered. Joe sat down at their table. "Once a player, always a player," he said smiling. Mario arched a brow at him. "Why are you so happy today?" he asked. Joe scratched the back of his head. "Well, Kassidy's back today, so that's a good thing," he said. Peach grinned. "I finally get to meet her!" she said giggling.

Then she suddenly felt a pair of eyes on her. She turned around to see Daisy staring at her. But it wasn't in an angry way. It was more like she was wondering something. Peach just slowly turned back around. That was weird… she thought.

Mario woke up the next day earlier than usual. He just shrugged it off and went downstairs to make breakfast. Luigi woke up to the smell of bacon and pancakes. He tip-toed downstairs and looked into the kitchen. "You're actually making breakfast for once?" he said sarcastically. Mario rolled his eyes. "I decided we needed something different rather than the crappy scrambled mushrooms you make everyday," he snickered. "Hey!" growled Luigi. Mario chuckled and turned back to his cooking.

Luigi sat down at the table. "Hey… are you guys gonna come to Friday's game?" he asked. Mario arched a brow and shrugged. "I don't care. I mean, if Peach wants to then I guess…"

"That sounds fun!" exclaimed Peach. Luigi yelped. "W-When did you get here? You were so quiet!" Peach giggled and sat down. "I would love to go see Friday's game," she said.

Mario smiled and nodded his head. Then he frowned. "Hey, I just thought of something…" he said, "the Strikers Tournament is broadcasted throughout the whole kingdom. What if someone recognizes Peach?"

The smile on Peach's face faded. "I didn't think of that…" she muttered, "what if I dye my hair brown? You think that'll work?" Luigi shrugged and sipped his juice. "That sounds good. Just tell everyone in school that it's your natural hair color," he suggested. "We can do it this weekend," added Mario. "Okay!" said Peach with another smile on her face.

"Everyone, shut yer mouths, homeroom is starting!" shouted Miss Reilly. Everyone took their seats. Including a green figure in the back of the room, which no one noticed.

The announcements went on and Peach still growled at the sound of Meg's voice. "Search parties are going around the Kingdom and beyond! Let us pray that our beloved Princess Peach is still safe!" She said, ending the announcements. People in the class started socializing again. "Hey! I didn't say you can start talking again!" yelled Miss Reilly. Rebecca rolled her eyes and took her phone out of her purse. "Put your phone away before I crush it Rebecca." She scoffed and put it in her pocket.

"Alright now, we have another new student. Young man, would you come and introduce yourself?" she called to the back of the class, but the green figure just shook his head and lowered the hat on his head. The teacher sighed. "That is not a request. Now come up here and introduce yourself."

The boy slowly stood up and walked to the front of the class. A few girls started whispering. "He's so cute!" "How adorable!" "Aw, isn't he the cutest thing ever?"

"What is your name?" demanded the teacher. The boy slowly lifted his head up. "Y-Yoshi…" he said slowly. Peach stared at him. He was a green dinosaur that had a denim jacket and a blue cap. He came from another place Peach knew of. It was called Egg Island, where creatures just like him lived. So what's he doing here? She thought.

"See now, that wasn't so hard, was it? Go on, sit down now," said Miss Reilly. Yoshi rushed back to his seat in the far back of the room. Rebecca coughed. "House pet!" she said. Everyone in the room laughed except Mario, Luigi, and Peach.

The bell rang and there was a stampede coming from down the hall. Everyone moved out of the way, knowing who it was. "Where's all that noise coming from?" said Peach. Luigi rolled his eyes. "It's the DK Crew. Who else?" he said. Peach looked at him questionably. "It's this whole group of monkeys that stick together constantly. Their leader, Donkey Kong, and the rest, Diddy Kong, Candy Kong, Chunky Kong, Dixie Kong, and Funky Kong," said Mario. "Weird, huh?" said Luigi. They watched as the crew came running down the hall making monkey noises and being as loud as ever.

"Ugh, go take a bath you apes," said Rebecca holding her nose. Candy turned her head and walked over to Rebecca. "You got a problem with the way I smell, spoiled brat?" she demanded. Rebecca was about to say something, but Dixie walked in between them. "Let's go Candy," she said and walked away with her.

On the way to their next class, Mario and Peach saw Yoshi standing in the hallway, staring at the Strikers Tournament poster. Peach walked up to him. "Are you trying out?" she said politely. Yoshi shuddered and turned around. "Oh… yeah," he said quietly. "We are too!" she said while pointing at Mario. Mario waved at him. "Hi there," he said.

"Oh… okay… hi," said Yoshi and he slowly tried walking away. "I'm going to be late…" Peach slouched and watched him go. "He's pretty shy," she said. Mario took her hand. "Come on, let's get to class."

-x3-

"Woo, all right, who's ready for tonight?" shouted Victoria. Her, Joe, and Kassidy were all at Mario and Luigi's house. She opened the door and bolted out. "Let's go!"

"Hold on, I'm still doing Kassidy's hair!" Peach called. "It's fine Cassandra, thank you!" said Kassidy as she stood up. Joe walked over. "Yeah, it doesn't really matter. I'm gonna mess it up eventually!" he snickered. Kassidy growled and punched him with her good arm. "You're always so mean to me!"

Victoria groaned dramatically from the door. "Ugh, come on! Okay, you know what? Mario, you pick up you're girlfriend. Luigi, get Joe and I'll get Kassidy!" she said and chased after the small girl, eventually catching her. Kassidy kicked her feet in the air. "Let me go!"

Mario sighed and grabbed Peach's hand. "Let's go," he said smiling. Luigi did nothing and Joe started to laugh.

There were many voiced being heard from the outside of the gym. When they opened the door, a whistle was blown and the crowd in the bleachers started cheering. Everyone took their seats in the second row. "YEAH, LET'S GO SHROOMS!" screamed Victoria. Peach started laughing.

Luigi looked around and saw Daisy on the sidelines getting a drink. He got up and walked over to her. "Daisy!" he called. She turned around and smiled. "Luigi!" she said and hugged him. "You came!"

Luigi started to blush. "Um, yeah I promised I would. Daisy, I have to ask you something," he said. Daisy looked at him. "Yes?" "Um, do you-"

A loud whistle interrupted him. "Daisy, get back on the court!" shouted the coach. Daisy growled. "Sorry hun, I gotta go! I'll talk to you during half time!" she said waving. Luigi groaned. "Yeah, bye."

At the doors of the gym, which led into the main hallways, stood Yoshi. Should I go in? Probably not after what happened in homeroom… I'm too shy… he thought with a sigh as he wandered the hallways of the school. Under the bleachers, Brandon sat with a few other kids. "You got the vodka?" he asked one. The boy held up a bottle of vodka from his sweatshirt. Brandon grinned. "Good, you know what to do. When I text you, meet me at my house. We'll have a little fun with Cassandra."

Another boy snickered. "Man, this is gonna be great! You sure this will work?" "Completely," said Brandon as he stared at Peach's body through the bleachers.

Woop woop! Hope you enjoyed! And don't forget…
