Chapter 9: Dinner

"Gee, I really hope Peach and Rosalina are okay." Yoshi said while eating his corn on a cob.

"They should be okay but it may take them a while to recover." Mario said, drinking his mushroom soup.

"Well, I'm more worried how strong this Bowser is. He's like a tank!" Luigi said, eating his macaroni.

"At least we know what to do if that sort of thing happens again." Yoshi said.

"Why aren't we telling any of the teachers about this?" Luigi asked.

"I already told Captain Falcon about it. He told me that he'll give him detention and ban him from sports class for a week. He also told me that he'll keep an eye out for Bowser." Yoshi said.

"That's nice to hear, but I'm more worried about Peach. She hasn't come down here yet." Mario said with a worried expression on his face.

"It takes time for the body to heal from that kind of attack. It's a good thing they weren't severely injured." Yoshi said.

"Well, the least we can do for them is to bring some food up to them. Daisy wouldn't be leaving them until they wake up and they aren't going to wake up anytime soon. She'll get hungry." Luigi suggested.

"Right." Yoshi said.

The trio then finished their dinner, took some food from the cafeteria and left for the dorms.

They went up to Daisy's door and started knocking.

"Daisy? Are you awake?" Luigi asked.

They heard Daisy walking towards the door inside the room and opened the door. Her face looked all tired and her hair was a bit messed up.

"Umm, we brought you girls some food. We thought you girls might get hungry." Luigi said to Daisy.

Daisy rubbed her eyes and smiled at Luigi.

"Thanks Luigi. I was actually kind of hungry but I couldn't leave these two alone. What if Bowser came back?" Daisy said smiling.

"Well, you should eat something before going to sleep. Otherwise you may have some problems tomorrow." Mario said.

"Okay, I will. Thanks Mario for helping us back there again. And thank you guys for bringing food for us." Daisy said.

"Actually, Luigi suggested about it and we followed him." Yoshi said.

"Oh really? Thanks Luigi!" Daisy said

She then went forward and gave Luigi a kiss on his cheek. Luigi blushed. Daisy waved goodbye and closed the door.

The trio then returned to their dorm.

"Wow Luigi. I didn't think you were serious about getting a girlfriend when I mentioned about it back at our house." Mario said to a daydreaming Luigi.

"What? No! Who gave you that idea?" Luigi replied, with his face still blushed.

"Well, isn't it obvious?" Mario said.

Luigi then turned to Yoshi and said, "You didn't have to tell Daisy that it was my idea, Yoshi."

"Oh, I thought that it wasn't fair that we two get credit for doing something an idea you came up with so I just mentioned it as a small note. I didn't know that she was going to… you know." Yoshi said.

"Alright! We should be getting to bed now!" Mario said, yawning.

"Yeah, we should rest up after what happened today." Yoshi said.

Mario, Luigi and Yoshi took turns using the shower and changing out into their pyjamas.

After everyone were in bed, Luigi said "Good night guys!" before switching off the light, leaving the moonlight shining into the room.

Luigi climbed into bed and then fell asleep. Yoshi was sleeping soundly. Mario was still wide awake despite feeling tired earlier on.

I wonder whether Peach will be okay tomorrow. I should apologize to her for causing her to get into trouble with Bowser. Mario thought.

Mario had all his thoughts swirling around in his head, preventing him to sleep. Then, a voice in his mind told him, "Sleep. You need the energy for tomorrow." And so Mario did.

Author's note: Sorry for the short chapters, my school break is ending. I will try my best to make the stories longer, but I may not be able to upload as often once school starts.
