Disclaimer: I do not own any characters belonging to Nintendo (no, duh). I also give credit to my older sister for thinking up this idea. Oh, and the only Mario games I have are SuperMario64, Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Mario Party 3. So, don't expect much from me.

" Plum, this is Vine. Vine, this is Plum." Peach said as Daisy stood to the side smiling. "We'll leave you two alone to play, okay? I'll come check up on you two in a hour."
"Have fun!" Daisy waved as she and Peach walked out of the room. So far, the plan was working perfectly. Plum and Vine were to meet and play with each other every so often, and maybe the two will eventually fall in love and get married. This will mean the coalition of the two kingdoms.

Laughing giddily, the two queens met up with their husbands.

" Well? What happened?" Mario and Luigi asked at the same time.

" It was love at first sight, I'm sure of it." Peach sighed.

Meanwhile

Vine looked over at Plum. At twelve years of age, this was the first time that Vine had ever liked anyone. Not knowing how to react to this strange feeling, Vine blurted out,

" That's a ugly hair color."

At this, Plum turned around to glare at Vine while another hand shot up to her violet-colored hair. She studied Vine, who was currently smirking at her.

" I wouldn't be talking. YOU have no eyes." Plum crossed her arms and glared at Vine.

" WHAT! I DO have eyes. They're just covered by my hat." After that, the two fell silent. Plum went over to play with some of the toys that lined the room. While looking over a book, Vine couldn't help but wander his eyes towards where Plum was sitting.

" What are you staring at?" Plum snapped at Vine when she noticed that she was being stared at.

" What? Oh... Maybe... Your ugly face?" Vine sneered as he went back to reading his book.

" If I have a ugly face, what about you? Apparently, you don't even wash your face, there's an oil smudge on your cheek."

Immediately, a hand went up to his cheek. "I do wash my face. I just get a lot of oil marks on my face because I actually like working mechanics with my dad. In fact, you see this hat I'm wearing? It was my dad's very first hat as well, and I'm never taking it off."

" Oh, really? Then what about when you wash your hair? Oh, or do you NEVER wash your hair?" By this time, both Plum and Vine had stood up and were screaming at each other face-to-face.

" Are you that stupid? When I wash my hair or go to sleep I take my hat off! Duh! Everybody knows that!"

" Ha! Then you were lying before when you said that you'll never take your hat off!" At this, Vine couldn't say anymore. Growling in frustration, Vine stomped out of the room to where his parent's were talking with Plum's parents. Following him closely was Plum.

Throwing the door open, Vine seethed with anger as he ran into the room. The adults were shocked as they saw a clearly angry Plum and Vine storm into the room.

" I WANT TO GO HOME!"

" I DON'T WANT TO 'PLAY' WITH HER ANYMORE!"

Mario looked over at Peach, "You were saying?"

" He, kids, can you go outside for awhile? There are a few things we have to talk about." Daisy ushered the two children out of the door. Once the adults were left alone in the room once more, they all burst out in confusion.

" I thought you said that it was 'love at first sight'!"

" What happened?"

" Maybe we should've waited a bit longer?"

Finally, after a bit of confusion, the four adults decided to let the two children meet again next year. In the meanwhile, they would try to get the two to form a liking to the other. After agreeing to the plan, Mario and Peach took Plum and went home.

" So, Vine, what do you think about Plum?" Luigi asked as he worked along with Vine at his side.

Upon hearing Plum's name, Vine flared up once more and let Luigi know all about his hatred for Plum. Luigi sweat dropped upon hearing this; it was going to take a while before the two get along...

Like I said in my summary, this is my first. So, I'm sorry if it wasn't all that great.
