Rosalina stands in silence, she rinses the baby pink soap off of her delicate girl couldn't affect her mind off the thought of her home or the lumas that reside there. Rosalina dries her hands with a the white silky soft towel. With a content sigh, she knocks from inside, a toad with blue spots and a blue coat opens the door to address the girl.
"Miss Rosalina, please accompany me." The Toad's voice is softspoken and thoughtful with a narrow hand gently raised toward the platinum haired girl.
Even one with half a brain would feel like royalty.
"Okay." She quietly pats the cake crumbs off of her sparkly sky blue dress. Next, she grabs the toad's hand, after bending slightly that is.
The two next walk through the broad double doors and into the hallway.
"If you don't mind me asking, where are we going?"
"We're meeting Daisy, Princess of Sarasaland!"
"I see."
"Hurry up! We're practically there!" Daisy commands to those behind, not once turning her back. She and the Toad had already left the Inn and are now outside heading to the castle. Typically it would take about a quarter of an hour to get to the castle, by carriage that is.
But alas, our dear Daisy never thought of that.
She and the toad behind her sprint thought the vibrant and grassy town, trying not to bump or knock into their fellow brothers. Also look absolutely as if they are in a hurry, but Daisy's frantic-like running causes a bit of not wanted attention. She enters the eyes of random strangers examining her in question as passes by. The flower princess could feel the odd and confused stares and in turn lets her voice ring to the Townspeople.
"Listen everyone! Peach is back!"Of course she never stops running to see the reactions of the people, but has an idea of what they could be feeling. Some of the townspeople are even tempted to follow the princess to the castle.
As Daisy and the toad follow the path to the edge of town, the run past the settlement's welcome sign. After leaving, Daisy stopped and her expression instantly went from exciting to joyful.
For as what she sees before her in the distance is the roof of the Princess' castle.
Daisy allows a loud wahoo, with a hard fist bump and continues on her humorous way. A small forest lies before her and from there is about a half hour trek to the castle.
Peach and her toad assistant run to the castle entrance to which the doors are opened by two more servants, allowing the Princess to exist to the outside pavement.
Peach scans the area but doesn't find her friend in yellow, only finding the broad green space with a giant crater where Rosalina's broken home was.
"Huh, I don't see Daisy." Peach sighs in confusion taking her eyes from the scene before her and eyeing the toad that came with her.
The nervous toad gives his large mushroom head as sheepish scratch.
"M-maybe she's late?"
"Hmmm." It isn't too far fetched to believed that, especially since being late has always been a thing for Daisy.
"I guess we'll just have to wait." With another sigh, Peach turns toward the castle and sits in the very front of her castle with her legs to her and the toad silently stare off into the clear blue sky to the grass. Though despite the ring of dirt separating the castle from the lush green grass. Rearing the grass and the removing the giant castle pieces will be long work, no thanks to Bowser.
"Princess! I see something!" The toad stands up and points to two blurry dots, one orange and the other red in the distance.
"What! What is it?!" Peach shades her eyes with her left hand and squints her eyes to the afar. The two both spot the blurry figures running in their direction.
One is immediately recognized while the other seems to be a mystery.
"Is that. Daisy" The pink princess stands up and squints her eyes further. As the two figues come closer, she could no longer question it.
"It is!" The toad beside her confirms.
Peach immediately runs toward the figures only barely hearing her name being called by her fellow princess.
"Peach!"
"Daisy!
As Princess Daisy comes closer into vision, both girls spread out their arms, ready to hug one another. The two collide in enormous hug, both jumping in joy not letting the other one go. Giggles and squeals emit from the two princesses their bodies pressed up against each other. Even the two Toads which came with them gives each other a massive hug. It's a happy moment that surly has been long overdue.
Peach and Daisy separate but still hold each other in their arms.
"Peach! Are you okay?! Did that mean ol' Bowser hurt you?" Daisy examines the princess before her, making sure she has no cuts, scratches, or bruises.
"Relax, Daisy. I'm fine, see!" Peach dismounts from Daisy and gives a little twirl to make sure that the orange princess receives no injury.
"Phew! That's a relief. Cuz if that turtle brain so much as scratched you, I'd give 'em a slap to the moon! Daisy flexed her right arm and exaggerating a manly grunt.
"I'm sure you would, Daisy." Peach giggles. "By the way, I want you to meet someone!" The pink princess grabs her friend's hand and begins to lead her into the castle
"Well, let's meet 'em!"
"Please wait here." The polite blue toad gently releases Rosalina's hand and with a bow, returns to his position from the foyer. For a moment, the girl in blue clasps her hands together and twiddles her thumbs. The room's silence lingers thought the castle, Rosalina looks around and studies the castle's features. The castle seems to be in great shape, clean floors, respectful servents, and freshly ironed curtains scented with Peach and large entrance doors open with a loud clank sound, startling Rosalina.
As the double doors crack open the two different Toads opening them, sunlight peaks through onto Rosalina's dress.
"I'm telling you, she's amazing!" Peach's voice seeps through the doors, making it very easy for the castle's inhabitants to hear. Rosalina stiffens her stance and neatly fold her hands. Peach and Daisy, both very much investing in their conversation, so much so that they aren't even looking in front of them, walk in the castle holding hands.
"Really?"
"Yeah, she's gre- Oh!" Peach faces before her to see the tall bleched blonde beauty in front of the girls. "Speak of the devil."
"Wow." Daisy stammers.
Peach lets go of Daisy's hand and walks infront of Rosalina. She turs toward her and puts a gentle and supporting arm around Rosalina.
"Daisy, this is Rosalina!"
"Hi! I'm Daisy!" Daisy gives an energetic wave to the tall girl before her.
"Hi..." A softspoken reply rings in the ears of the girl.
"Huh, it's funny. You remind me of Blake, like a shy princess."
"O-oh! Daisy Rosie's not a princess." Peach stammers forward and places her delicate hands on the orange princess' shoulders, staring in her eyes. Daisy tilts her head to get another peek
at Rosalina with a confused look on her face.
"Really? Then why the crown?"
Peach's eyes widen with her pupils constrict and her mouth imitates the letter O. Rosalina in turn, gives a guilty expression and turns away.
"Ah! D-Daisy! Why don't I tell you about what happened after Bowser kidnapped me over tea!
"Sure." Daisy shrugs.
The three girls escort themselves back to the tea room and take their color coded seats. The blue spotted Toad pours a freshly brewed pot of tea into the cups.
The three dressed ladies pick up their cups and sip their tea taking a silent moment to take in the lovely smell. Daisy removes her lips from her cup and starts a conversation.
"So Peach, gimme all the juicy details." Daisy leans from behind the coffee table.
"I'll just give you the abridged version."
"Boooooo." Daisy's excitement diminishes. Peach ignores the disappointment and clears her throat.
"After Bowser had kidnapped me, he wanted to turn our galaxy into his own, but as always, Mario saves me." The pink princess explains the abbreviated version of Mario's courageous adventure from her point of view.
"Were you hurt?" Rosalina asks.
"Nope!" Peach gives a sheepish smile."
"It's not like he's got the guts to." Daisy deadpans, stirring her tea with a spoon.
"So, um Princess. Can I ask you somthing?"
"Sure! Ask away, Rosalina."
"Will I be staying here until my home is fixed?"
"If you want." Peach hasn't even thought about what will happen to Rosalina now that her home was destroyed.
Daisy quickly places her tea cup on the coffee table and jumps from her cushy seat. An exasperated look of excitement appears on her face with her voice dripping with giddiness.
"We could have a sleep over!" Just the three of us! What d' ya say, Peach!"
"Ah, we don't wanna pressure Rosalina if she doesn't want to be a part of it." Peach waves off Daisy's proposal.
"Aw come on! We haven't had one in a while, and we have a new friend too!" Daisy walks over to Rosalina and swings an arm around shoulder of the blue girl. Now armed with puppy dog eyes, Daisy looks in Peach's eye's.
"What do you think, Rosalina?"
"Sure?" Rosalina shyly shrugs.
*Sigh* "Okay, I guess we c-"
"YES!" Daisy jumps in joy, startling Peach and Rosalina. "I'll go get my things!" Without another word, Daisy runs out of the room.
"She's quite the energetic one."
"Ehehe, she is. Daisy can be a bit loud, though." Peach scratches the back of her head with a sheepish smile.
Crickets chirp in the young blue night as the stars glitter in the moonlight. Peach fluffs a cream white pillow on a sky blue colored canopy bed, she pats the sparkly comforter making sure its future inhabitant will love it. Inside the beautiful bedroom, lies three large canopy beds lined up at a wall differentiating by their colors. Peach examines her work on the blue bed and walks on the fluffy rugged floor, satisfied with the results. She heads toward the middle of the room where lies a pink decorative medium sized coffee table with a round border. On the table is a wide array of elegant snacks ranging from truffles to macaroons, to mini cupcakes and other chocolate based sweets. Peach reaches for a chocolate mini cupcake and removes the wrapper. She wholeheartedly stuffs the pastry confection in her mouth with a satisfied squeak. The pink princess takes one more look around the royal bedroom, examining three beds and everything else. She lets out a sigh of relief being satisfied with her work and brushes off the crumbs from her shot pink night gown. The sound of a door opening echoes through the room, catching Peach's attention. Rosalina a Luma quietly exits the bathroom in a pink pajama set with her long platinum hair in a cute side ponytail.
"Oh, you're finished, Rosalina."
Rosalina nods.
"Thank you for allowing me wear you pajamas, Princess."
"No problem. You look cute in pink by the way."
"Ehehehe."
The double door entrance of the bedroom opens widely, revealing our dear Daisy dressed in her iconic orange attire of shorts and a tank top. Behind her are two toads carrying covered metal platters above their heads
"Oh! Daisy you're here!" Peach meets Daisy at the door and takes one of the platters from her toads.
"Now let's get the party started!"
"I wonder what you brought this time." Peach places one of the metal platters on the coffee table with the toad following in suite. She removes the cover and spots a delicious bowl of rice pudding. The other platter contains sweet basbousa cake. "Again Daisy, really?"
"Come on, you know you like the rice pudding!" Daisy waves off Peach's comment. "So now that everyone is here, what now?"
"Well, we could play some boardgames and-"
"Laaaame! We play boardgames all the time."
"What do you have in mind, then?" Peach crosses her arms.
Daisy makes her way to her colour coded bad and grabs the fluffy white pillow and throws it in Peach's face.
"Pillow fight!"
"Hey!"
Peach runs toward her bed, grabs the pillow and charges toward Daisy, she immediately begins bombarding the defenceless orange princess.
"Ah! Hey! I'm unarmed!"
"You started it!"
As the two princesses continue their fun pillow brawl, Rosalina watches with an awkward look on her face. She looks around the room and spots a small bookshelf next to her bed and heads toward it. She kneels in front of the shelf and scans her eyes across spines of the books. All of them look the same, but one catches her eye. A brown book with golden writing on the spine by the name of "To Dethrone." She pulls out the book and takes a look at the cover, on it, is a cryptic picture of two heart shapes, one red and one purple. The red one is frozen in ice with the purple one having black goop poured on it.
It looks to be a very interesting book.
Rosalina walks to her blue bed ans sits on top of the comforter, and just before the girl in blue opens the book.
"Hey, Rosalina, are you bored?" Daisy asks while on the floor in fetal position as if playing possum.
"O-oh no. I figured I let the two of you have your fun."
"You don't wanna play?" Peach asks, a bit disappointed.
"It's not that, it's just that reading is what I do best."
"Yeah, Mama likes to read me stories! Luma says.
"That sounds boring!" Daisy stands up and stretches and walks toward Rosalina takes the book from her and places it aside. She grabs the blue girl's wrists, assisting her to stand from the bed and grabs her pillow from off her golden wand.
"Here." The pillow is offered to its owners bed.
"But, I don't- I've never-"
"Come on! Take it and give it a good swing!" With no other option, Rosalina gently takes the pillow and holds it by its corners.
"Good now hit Peach!"
"Wh-what!?"
"Relax, it won't hurt." Daisy reassurance somewhat calms down Rosalina's nerves.
"Is it okay, Princess."
"Do not worry, I'll be fine." Peach confirms.
"O-okay." Rosalina raises her pillow and strikes Peach across her face. It's a very weak hit but it's enough to release some feathers out of the pillow.
"Not bad." Daisy puts a hand on Rosalina's shoulder.
"Are you okay?"
"Yep, don't worry, Rosalina. THink of it as a sport."
"Sport, okay." With more of her troubles disappearing, Rosalina holds onto her cushion, while Daisy finally grabs her pillow.
"Okay! Now let's get this party started!"
The girls begin their brawl with Rosalina taking and giving hits, with all bearing no pain, witch is a relief. The three girls erupt in laughter as pillow feathers scatter the room, with each one of them trying to hit each other.
A/N:
Hello! Everyone! Long time no see! This is probably the longest I've taken on a chapter. Though I fell like this one is a bit wonky. It's just that I've been SUPER busy the last couple of months. Now I'm back, and I'll do my best to complete this story!
I also plan on remaking the cover.
Thanks for sticking with me!
