Disclaimer: I do not own anything that, obviously, doesn't belong to me. Originally, this is my sister's idea, but she's letting me write it.
In the first chapter, the comment about the eyes might have been confusing. His hat was on the very LARGE side, so they covered his eyes.
Leaving Plum in her room, Mario made his way to the room where Peach was waiting for him. Apparently, there were a few problems concerning Plum and Vine that she wanted to discuss about. Opening the door to the room, he was surprised to see Daisy and Luigi in there as well.
" I thought you guys just left," Mario remarked while sitting down.
" Well, we told Vine that there were a few things that we had to attend to and told him to go on without us," Luigi stated. Seeing Mario raise his eyebrows, Luigi further commented, "Don't worry. Vine'll go straight home without making stops anywhere else. Besides that fact, it doesn't seem like Plum or Vine likes each other. I'm sorry to say this, but I think our plan backfired."
At this, Daisy's eyes filled with tears, but she quickly wiped them away before they fell. "That's the reason why we came back. Like every other year, neither Vine nor Plum showed any emotions except hatred towards each other. It's about time we take action! We have to find some way for the two to realize each other!" Daisy made a fist as she exclaimed her sudden enthusiasm.
" But what CAN we do other than forcing them to meet each other? Even if we point out the good in Vine, Plum always shows the same reaction," Peach sighed.
" Hmmm... Mario, you still have connections with Bowser, yes?" When Mario nodded Daisy continued. "Maybe we can have Bowser play-act and kidnap Plum! Then we could make Vine go after her and maybe during that time, the two will fall in love with each other!"
" Excellent, Daisy! I couldn't have thought up a better plan!" Peach did a high-five with Daisy.
" Wait. You have to remember that both Vine AND Plum know about our adventures with Bowser. They also know that Bowser had formed an alliance with us and is now on friendly terms with us. Besides, those two aren't THAT dense. They have a high enough I.Q. to know that Bowser would NEVER attack our kingdom, even more so, KIDNAP PLUM!" Mario pressed on the last two words.
" Yeah... Also, wouldn't it make more sense if Mario was to go save his daughter? I mean, Mario DID defeat Bowser every other time, why wouldn't he now?" At Luigi's comment, everybody sighed and the life seemed to be sucked out of them.
"Well... Looks like our time has ran out... Vine will be waiting for us... We better get on our way," Daisy stood up, followed by Luigi.
" Yeah... Well! If you think something up, just call us over!" Mario shook hands with Luigi while the two queens hugged each other good-bye.
" Let's hope that the next time Vine and Plum meet, better results will follow!" Luigi yelled out as he and Daisy drove away.
-12 Months Later-
" PLUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME BACK MY HAT!!!" Vine's footsteps where heard throughout the castle as he searched for Plum. Quickly grabbing any old hat, he put it on before continuing his search for Plum. " Just watch, Plum. If you do anything to my hat, I swear, I'll-"
" You'll what? Lock me up in a closet again? I don't think that'll work on me this time. Oh, and don't even think about sneaking up behind me either; you'll regret it. A lot." Plum twirled Vine's hat around her finger.
" You just watch," Vine muttered under his breath as he lunged for Plum. Shrieking, Plum turned around to run away, but fell down instead. Twisting her body around, she saw that Vine had grabbed onto her leg.
" Vine, you idiot! Let. Go. Of. My. Leg!" Plum stressed each word as she tried to shake Vine off of her.
" Not until YOU give me back MY hat!" Vine reached up and tried to grab his hat out of Plum's clutch. Plum saw Vine's attempts at getting his hat back and decided to make him suffer for at least another minute.
" Ha! Do you forget that I'm TALLER than you, and if I stretch my arm out, you're going to have to be at LEAST two heads taller? With YOUR arm stretched out as well?" Plum sneered down at Vine.
" You wouldn't dare," Narrowing his eyes, Vine once again reached over to try and grab his hat. At once, Plum tightened her grip on the green hat and extended her arm out.
" Plum, exactly WHAT do I have to do in order to get my hat back?" Vine sighed in defeat.
" Well, then, you should have said that sooner. First, get your hands off my leg," Immediately Vine's hand snapped away from Plum's leg, "Next, go get me some water." Plum stood up and shook the dust off her dress.
" Why don't you follow me?" Vine rolled his eyes and motioned to Plum to follow him. "Otherwise, who knows? I might drop some poison into your drink."
Minutes later, Plum was seen skipping a few steps behind Vine. Vine rolled his eyes when Plum started to hum a happy tune.
" You might as well be throwing flower petals."
" Be quiet, Mr. FLY. I'm not the one who's being bossed around by someone four years younger than me." Vine's face grew red with anger when she commented on his eyes, but he could do nothing about it as she had his hat.
Telling a servant to get him a glass of water, Vine sat himself down on a chair.
" Eh-hem. In the presence of Princess Plum, you are not to be seated. Stand," Plum tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for Vine to stand up. "Now, where is that water that I ordered?"
Right on cue, the servant appeared with the glass of water. Handing it out towards Plum, Vine growled, "Here's you water."
" Ugh! How do you suppose me to drink that water? Offer it to me as if you REALLY want me to have the water."
" Fine, then. Plum, here's the water you asked for."
In the same tone that Vine had offered the water, Plum muttered a 'thank-you' and tossed Vine his hat. Quickly, he put his hat on and gave Plum a bear hug.
" THANK YOU!"
Walking past, Daisy and Peach back stepped to see Vine giving Plum a hug. Grinning from ear to ear, they ran back to where their husbands were talking.
" We finally succeeded!"
" In what?"
" We just saw Plum and Vine hugging!"
" Really? All right! Let's go make the wedding arrangements!"
In the other room...
Plum and Vine both seethed with anger. In that short amount of time, they had gotten into another argument. The door slammed opened and the four adults came pouring in.
" CONGRATULATIONS!"
" Thank you. I never knew you'd congratulate me for slapping Vine, though."
" Wha... What?" Looking over, the adults were able to see a bright handprint beginning to form on Vine's cheek. "But we thought you guys were..."
" We were what? The only things we did was to argue." Vine grumbled under his breath.
" But we thought you were in love!"
" Love! Don't you mean hate? I would never love a person SHORTER than me!"
" And I would never love someone would PURPLE hair!"
" IT'S LAVENDER, YOU FREAK!"
" IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T LOOK IT!"
The adults sweat-dropped as they watched Plum lunge towards Vine to give him another punch. Vine got ready to grab her hair. When will the two ever notice each other? Sigh...
I tried putting more of the characters from Nintendo in, but I'm not sure how they really are. Tell me if they are OOC. Oh, I made Bowser an ally because I Bowser is one of my favorites!
