Mario yawned slowly as he stretched out his legs. Morning. As the sun rose over the peak of the Mushroom Kingdom. He then heard a knock on the door. Mario rubbed his eyes and groaned. Who could be knocking on his door this early in the morning? He slipped on his red tunic and blue overalls and headed downstairs. "I'm coming!" he yelled as he hurried toward the door.
Mario opened the wooden door, and a flustered Luigi stepped in, yawning and sighing. "Oh, hey Weegie." Mario said, yawning. Luigi grabbed a cup from the cabinet and brewed some fire flower coffee as he slumped on a chair. "So umm… what's going on?" Mario asked. "Nothing." Luigi answered flatly. "Ok… I'm going over to the Sarasaland Castle to sort things out with Daisy. Do you mind?" Mario asked. "N-No…" Luigi replied slowly.
Mario got up from the seat next to him and grabbed his hat and gloves from the rack. What was up with Luigi today? Mario got on his kart and turned the keys and backed out of the Mario Bros' home. He took off, exiting the Mushroom Kingdom toward the Dry Dry Desert. As he circled around Daisy Circuit he pulled up by the Sarasaland Castle and stepped out as he slammed the car door.
Daisy heard a ring from the doorbell as her servants opened the door. A red cap appeared as the guest stepped through the door. Great. Daisy hurried downstairs. "Um.. Hey Mario…" Daisy laughed nervously. Mario walked toward the table. "Have a seat.." she said hesitantly. He stepped toward the chair and sat down. "Daisy, can we, well, talk?" Mario asked, playing with his fingers. Perfect. Daisy sighed and nodded and sat across from him as she scooched her chair in. "Daisy… I really am sorry…" Mario apologized sincerely, blushing. "No, it's okay, Mario." Daisy replied, standing up.
"Do you want some coffee or something?" she asked, changing the subject. Mario stood up, bumping into her. "Oops." Mario fluffed his hair, embarrassed. "No, it's fine.." Daisy smiled. Mario tried to step around her, but instead he bumped toward her again, by her lips. Mario pressed his lips against Daisy's. Mario pushed back, flustered. "Uh-s-sor-" Daisy grabbed his head and kissed back. "D-Daisy what are you do-". Mario pushed himself into a liplock with Daisy and they both pushed back, startled with eachother. "That was…" Daisy started. "Nice." Mario blurted out. Daisy nodded slowly in agreement. What the hell just happened? I mean, it wasn't that bad. "Just as friends, right?" she asked. "Yes-I mean yeah- sure." Mario said, fixing his red cap. "I need to-a-go." he said quickly as he stepped toward the doors of the castle.
Daisy gently placed her hand on his shoulder and turned him around. "Let's have this be our little secret." she winked assuringly. Mario laughed a bit in agreement. Daisy's mind was racing and she blurted out without thinking, "Come again?" Mario looked back at Daisy, confused and wide eyed. He shook his head, snapping back to reality. "Sure."
