Yay! I'm finally onto my 5th chapter! Hoorah for

Disclaimer: I do not own most things in this story. Even the whole idea doesn't belong to me. Give credit to my older sister who doesn't even update her own stories. Seriously, I actually took the time to type her second chapter for her and she was supposed to fix it up and put more details in as she likes, but so far, didn't.

On with the story!

Plum stared wide-eyed at Wario's son. HE WAS HOT!!!!!!! Plum felt her mouth drop open and start to water. Remembering where she was and whose son this was, she shook her head violently and went back to glaring at Wario and his son. This was very hard as well, for Wario's son was very polite and perfect in every single way that Plum had dreamed of.

' He IS much better than Vine. In fact, I think I might like him! Hold yourself, Plum. Don't forget who he is. Aw, man. Why couldn't Vine and this dude switch places? I'd so totally go for him then. Well... Until I find out Wario's true motives for bringing me here, I'm going to have to restrain myself. But he's so HOT!' Plum mind raced around inside of her brain as Wario's son, who she soon found out was named Waldo (weird name), conversed with her.

"So, er, Waldo. Do you know when your dad's going to bring me back home?" Plum asked cautiously.

"Yeah! Around tomorrow morning he'll drop you off near the edge of your home. You know, he can't bring you directly to your home; your dad hates him so much." Waldo gave Plum one of the dazzle-wazzle smiles that she immediately fell head-over-heels for.

"Why can't you bring me to my house? Then, you don't have to worry about my dad. He doesn't even know you!" Plum exclaimed; she REALLY didn't want to be left alone with Wario. He reminded her of Vine too much.

" Sorry. I wish I could go with you, too, but I have to go take cello lessons in the morning."

"You take cello!"

"Yep. In fact, I'm considered one of the best in the whole district! Not to brag or anything, it's just that I am." Waldo shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Plum again. Plum smiled back at Waldo sweetly...

Meanwhile, Vine was sitting in his car again, his fist enclosed around Plum's hairpiece. It had started to get dark and Vine was worried. It would be hard to find Plum in the dark. If he waited until the morning, however, he might be too late to save Plum. Sighing, Vine rubbed his temples with his hand.

Frowning, he tried to remember the sequence of events that happened that day. Quickly grabbing a flashlight that was there for emergencies, Vine ran back to where he found the hair accessory. It might be possible that there was a clue that went by unnoticed.

Letting the light of the flashlight run over the muddy area, Vine frowned in frustration. In his excitement of finding the hairpiece, he had trampled all over possible clues such as footprints.

Once again, Vine growled under his breath, "Where ARE you?"

The next morning, Plum followed behind Wario cautiously. If Wario ever happened to turn around to attack Plum, she was ready to run away.

Wario did turn around once, but only to talk with Plum.

"So, what do you think of my son? He's much better than Vine like I told you, no?" Wario gave Plum one of his nasty laughs.

"So what if he's better-looking and polite?" Plum glared at Wario; she really hated that laugh of his. It made her very uneasy.

"You like him, don't you? You like him much better that Vine, right. In fact, you almost wish that it was Waldo and not Vine that you were meeting, am I correct?" When Plum grew red in the face, Wario laughed again.

Not being able to take this man's nasty laughter, Plum ran away screaming when she ran smack into Vine.

Vine grabbed Plum by the shoulders and shook her slightly. "Are you okay? Why are you screaming? Where were you? Where are you shoes? Did Wario hurt you?" The last one Vine asked when he saw Wario walking towards him and Plum and immediately guessed that it was Wario that took Plum.

Even before Plum could answer, Wario laughed and answered most of Vine's questions. "Don't worry. Plum is in perfect shape. She was with my son and me most of yesterday and had an absolutely FABULOUS time with my son. In fact, she was screaming because she was too embarrassed to admit the fact that she likes my son."

Vine glared at Wario before grabbing Plum's wrist and dragging her after him. Once they were in the car, Vine instantly started to drive away. After a minute of silence, Vine spoke through grinding teeth, "Is that true?"

" What's true?" Plum asked, bored. After seeing and talking with Waldo, Vine seemed like an even more jerk.

"What Wario said, that you were perfectly fine and was talking with his son the whole night through."

"Yeah, it's true. What are you going to do about it, huh? You can't do anything about it!" Plum got annoyed at the way Vine was giving her so much attitude.

"You could have at least called your parents! Or me!"

"Why should I call YOU?"

" Because then I wouldn't have spent the whole night looking for you!"

"Who asked you to look for me, huh? Did I ever call you or write you and asked for help? Sheesh... And since when did you ever care for me, huh? So stop making a show of it when we both know that you don't really care if I' okay or not!"

"Who said I wasn't worried about you? You were gone for more than 24 hours! I spent the whole night searching for you and worried that you might be hurt!"

"Stop bothering me about it! I'm already tried and exhausted after all that walking and your screaming at me doesn't help at all! Geez... Sometimes I wish that it was Waldo and not you that I was meeting..." Plum slapped her hands to her mouth and turned her head slowly to look at Vine. He was looking straight ahead, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the handle harder.

In all the arguments the two had together, none of them had mentioned to each other that they wish someone else was going to be their spouse instead of Plum or Vine. Most of their arguments were over stupid, friendly things.

The rest of the ride was silent and Plum looked down at her hands in her lap and as Vine drove without glancing once at Plum. When they at last reached Mushroom Kingdom, Vine dropped Plum off at the front doors, and then sped away without glancing back.

The rest of the day went quietly for Plum. It wasn't until Plum was getting into bed did something dawn onto her. Vine had been searching the whole night for and was worried that she could have been hurt. Her eyes grew wide as she suddenly felt bad for having such a good time with Waldo when Vine was out there in the swamps looking for HER...

When morning came by again, Plum called Vine on his cell-phone.

He didn't answer it.

When the time came for Plum and Vine to meet again at their rescheduled date, Vine didn't show up.

Plum called Vine numerous times after that, but was always met with a busy line.

" Ergh! I. HATE. HIM!" Plum threw her pillow across her room and punched her bed. Vine still wasn't picking up. "You know what? I don't care about Vine anymore. I'm no longer going to call him or try to meet up with him. He doesn't want to talk to me, I won't talk to him either." Plum felt good as she pretended that her pillow was Vine...

I think this is the WORST chapter ever. Seriously, the original characters didn't even come out (except for Wario, but he doesn't count). Besides that, when will Plum and Vine ever get together? I want to end this quickly! Heh... Review!
