Author's Notes: Thanks everyone for your reviews:) I'm glad that you enjoyed my fan fic so far.
crystal7: I know they're naughty. They were cheeky in the original Paper Mario. They sneakily went into the jungle and Mario, his friends and Sushie has to find them. The yoshi infants will be up to no good since they're inside the castle but you'll have to find out in one of the future chapters. And in this chapter, the missing guests who were Mario's recent partners will be in this one.
Surferljb: I know it's a pity that Peach and the female partners won't flirt with Mario in chapter 3 but they might flirt with him in one of the future chapters.
Mecha Scorpion: It could be the camera angles but no offense; I hate Sonic because I once played a Sonic game for the Dreamcast that was after I played Super Mario 64, the Sonic game made me bored so I can't be bothered playing any more Sonic games. But I'm glad you enjoyed my story. :)
After this Author's note, here's the chapter for you to enjoy!
Chapter 4: Let's Party!
Everyone was assembled at the first floor of Peach's castle. Luigi was having a lovely chat with Princess Daisy, Toad and Toadette was chatting as well, Wario and Waluigi were whispering to each other (probably they're talking about what they should do to Mario and Luigi.), Donkey Kong was playing on the bongos and Diddy Kong was dancing to the music from the instrument, Yoshi and Birdo were busy standing still (probably to wait for the party to really start) and Mario and his old partners were talking to each other.
"Um… what should we do, Mario?" Watt asked.
"Yeah, when is the party going to start?" Goombario agreed.
"We have to wait until Princess Peach comes down here." Mario told them.
"We have to wait! But I can't wait that long!" Lakilester couldn't help but complain. "When does she come?"
"…sigh… just be patient." Mario replied.
"Okay…" Lakilester said with a sad face.
"Mario, do you remember when that person mentioned some names, are they were the names of the other partners?" Bombette asked.
"Yep." The plumber answered. "But the person is a toad actually."
"Oh. But why they haven't arrived yet?" Bombette asked again.
"Because maybe they're late." Mario answered.
"Oh, I see." Bombette replied.
"Mario, are you a plumber?" Goombario asked.
"Yep. But why did you ask me a question like that?" Mario said with a puzzled face.
"Well, the toilet in the bathroom at my house had a leak and now there's wee all over the floor!" Goombario replied, starting to laugh.
Goombario and the other partners were laughing their heads off. Mario's cheeks blushed bright red. The plumber was kind of annoyed.
"Ha, ha, very funny Goombario." Mario said sarcastically.
"But it's a joke! You can't take it seriously, can't you?" Goombario replied.
"Of course I can take it seriously!" Mario said with a smile. "Anyway, Goombas can't pee, you know!"
"I know they can't!" the goomba replied.
"Whatever." The red-clad plumber replied back.
"Um… Mario, are we doing anything? I'm bored." Watt asked.
"I know you're bored but we've to wait." Mario told her.
"Hey, Mario! What have you been up to?" A voice exclaimed.
Mario and his partners turned around to face two figures coming towards them. The figures turned out to be Luigi and Princess Daisy, Peach's cousin. She was wearing her usual dress and her usual earrings just like in the other Mario games.
"Luigi! Daisy! What are you doing here?" The plumber asked.
"We just came here to see what you have been up to." Daisy replied.
"Oh, I see." Mario said.
"Bro, why is Peach taking so long?" Luigi asked.
"I'm not sure, really." The red-clad plumber answered.
"Hey, Mario! Is that your girlfriend?" Goombario asked.
Mario turned and pointed at Princess Daisy.
"Do you mean her?" he said with a puzzled face.
"Yep." Goombario replied.
"Um… no, she isn't my girlfriend. She's just my friend." Mario told him.
"Oh." The goomba said.
Princess Daisy looked at Mario's old partners with a puzzled face. She then looks at Mario.
"Mario, who are they?" she asked the plumber.
Mario once again turned and looked at his partners.
"Do you mean them?" he said with a puzzled face.
"Yes." Daisy replied.
"They were my partners I met in my adventure to search for the Star Spirits and rescue Princess Peach." Mario told her. He turned to one of his partners. "Goombario, please introduce yourself to my friend."
"My name is Goombario. Nice to meet you!" The goomba greeted.
"Nice to meet you too!" Daisy replied with a smile.
The red-clad plumber then turned to his other partners.
"Now, the rest of you, please introduce yourself to Daisy. She wants to know who you are." He told them.
"My name is Kooper. Pleasure meeting you!" The koopa troopa said in a polite way.
"Pleasure meeting you too!" Daisy replied.
"You're Daisy, huh? Nice to meet you!" the pink bob-omb greeted.
"I'm glad to meet you too!" Princess Daisy replied.
"The name's Parakarry. I deliver letters but I don't do it now." The paratroopa said.
"Nice to meet you, Parakarry." Peach's cousin greeted back.
"I'm Bow; it's really great to meet you!" the boo princess greeted.
"It's really great to meet you too!" Daisy said with a smile.
"Um… my name is Watt. Nice to meet you!" Watt greeted.
"It's very great to meet you too!" Princess Daisy said.
"My name's Sushie. Nice to meet you!" the cheep cheep greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Sushie. My name's Daisy." Peach's cousin greeted back.
"Yo! What's up? My name's Spike! But don't call me Lakilester." The lakitu said.
"Hello, Lakilester! My name is Daisy. Nice to meet you!" Princess Daisy said with a smile.
"My name is Spike! Not Lakilester!" Lakilester exclaimed.
"Whatever." Daisy replied back.
Luigi looked at Mario's partners with a puzzled face. He then looked at his older brother.
"Mario, are these are your mates?" Luigi asked.
Mario then looked at his partners.
"Yep." He replied.
"Oh but you must have made a lot of friends in your adventures, huh." Luigi said.
"Yes, I did." The red-clad plumber replied. "But speaking of friends, I made some new ones but they haven't arrived yet."
"Really?" Luigi replied with a puzzled face.
"Yeah." Mario said. "I met them in Rougeport, Petalburg, Flurrie's House in Boggly Woods, Glitzville and Twilight Town."
"Wow that must be a lot of friends you made, Bro." Luigi replied.
"Yes, it is." Mario said with a smile.
"Anyway, why do you think Princess Peach take so long? Do you think she's putting make-up on to make herself pretty?" Luigi asked.
"I think so. Maybe that's what girls do anyway." The red-clad plumber said.
"Um… Mario, are you talking about me?" Daisy asked.
"Not really. My younger brother and I were talking about why Peach is taking so long." Mario told her.
"Oh but I don't wear make-up anyway. I look pretty enough already." Daisy replied.
"Of course, you look pretty!" Luigi said with a big smile. "Anyway, you don't need make-up on."
"Yeah and you really look beautiful without it!" Mario agreed.
"Yeah!" Mario's old partners agreed also.
"Hmm… Mario, do you think I'm wearing make-up?" Bow asked.
Mario looked closely at Bow to see if she is wearing any make-up on.
"Yep, I think you're wearing it." The red-clad plumber said.
"Really?" the boo princess asked with a puzzled look.
"Yeah, I think I can see it on your face!" Mario replied.
"I would have got to see it if I brought a mirror with me." Bow said to herself.
"Master Mario!" Another voice cried.
Mario, Luigi, Daisy and Mario's old partners turned around to face an old toad walking towards them.
"Master Mario, Princess Peach will be here very shortly." Toadsworth told Mario.
"Finally, she's coming." Luigi replied.
"Yeah, about time!" Goombario agreed.
The guards of Peach's castle were standing near the door to the second floor of the castle. The door has a big star on it and it is near the stairs.
"And now… Princess Peach!" one of the guards exclaimed.
The door to the second floor creaked open and out emerged Princess Peach who was the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. She was wearing her usual crown on her head and she was wearing her usual pink dress and also she was wearing her usual blue round earrings in her ears.
"Hello, everyone! I'm glad that all of you arrived here on this special day. Today is my birthday and I hope that all of you will enjoy this party. There will be lots of food on the buffet table if you are hungry and there will be loads of entertainment going on. And when the party is nearly over, we'll set off the fireworks. So let's par…" Princess Peach told everyone.
"Hold it!" Another voice shouted.
Everyone turned around. The castle door creaked open and out emerged Mario's recent partners!
"Sorry we're late, princess." Goombella replied.
"Yeah, we can't find your castle anywhere in town." Yoshi agreed.
"It's really too hard to find it." Vivian added.
"Yeah and when we arrived at the town, we couldn't find the castle anywhere." Koops agreed.
"Mmmm… we should have looked at the signs in town." Ms. Mowz replied.
"I know we should have but we didn't!" Goombella said.
"I think we've got lost indeed." Bobbery replied.
"My, my, I think we haven't got lost." Flurrie told him.
"I know we haven't but we should have asked people for directions." Goombella replied. "And who's fault is it!"
The female goomba then pointed at Ms. Mowz.
"It's not my fault I didn't tell all of you, to look at the signs!" she shouted at Goombella.
"Well, it's still your fault!" The goomba girl exclaimed in an angry tone.
"No it isn't!" The mouse shouted at the goomba.
"Yes it is!" The goomba girl shouted back.
"No it isn't!" Ms. Mowz exclaimed.
"Yes it is!" Goombella called out.
"No it isn't!" The mouse yelled.
"Oh, shut up." Koops said.
"Are you telling us to shut up!" Goombella bellowed.
"Um… well, yes. Anyway, you two are giving me a headache." The koopa troopa replied.
"Giving you a headache! If we're giving you one, then go away and stay out of this!" The goomba girl yelled at Koops.
"So, you're saying it's none of my business?" Koops asked.
"Exactly!" Goombella answered.
"Oh but you two better stop this stupid argument or I'll scream at both of you." The koopa troopa said.
"Oh, really!" Goombella said mockingly.
"Yeah! I'll really do it if you and Ms. Mowz will start arguing again." Koops replied.
"Really! Okay, then scream at me!" The goomba said ironically.
"Here goes… Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!..." Koops screamed.
The koopa troopa continued to scream. Some of the recent partners were getting annoyed.
"Will ya just knock it off with your screaming!" Yoshi yelled.
Koops immediately stopped screaming and gave Yoshi an angry stare.
"Don't shout at me! Goombella told me to scream at her!" Koops exclaimed.
"…sigh… okay, I understand but ya better stop screaming or I'll wipe the floor with ya." Yoshi replied.
"How can you wipe the floor with me anyway? I bet Mario can beat you blindfolded!" Koops said mockingly.
"Why would he? I mean Gonzales will never beat up his own friend." Yoshi said sardonically.
"His name is Mario, not Gonzales!" The koopa troopa hollered.
"I know that!" Yoshi said acerbically. "Besides, I always call him Gonzales through the whole Crystal Star thing adventure but his real name was Mario, isn't it?"
"Yep. And anyway I bet you're weaker than Mario." Koops said mordantly.
"Please guys, stop arguing. This is no time to quarrel. We have to apologize to Princess Peach, remember." Vivian spoke up.
"Okay…" the rest of the partners said with a sad face.
Everyone then turned back to Princess Peach to listen to her.
"So princess, do you forgive us?" Vivian replied
"Of course I forgive all of you but do you live far away from here?" Peach asked.
"Yes, we do." Goombella answered.
"I see. But this is your time being here is it?" Princess Peach asked again.
"Yes and we've got lost in town indeed." Bobbery replied.
"We haven't got lost!" Goombella yelled.
"Sorry." Bobbery said.
"Oh, I see. So that's why all of you were late. You can't find the castle anywhere, isn't it?" The princess replied.
"Yep, that's right! And it's really hard finding it since we didn't know where the castle was. Was it hidden?" Goombella asked.
"Well… sort of. My castle was located behind the big blue door with the star on it." Peach told her.
"Anyway princess, since me and my friends are here, shouldn't the party start now?" The goomba girl inquired.
"Yeah and I'm really hungry!" Yoshi agreed.
"I agree with Yoshi anyway. I want to see Mario." Flurrie agreed also.
"Mmmm… I want to see Mario again and flirt with him." Ms. Mowz agreed as well.
"I think we all want to see Mario." Vivian replied.
"That goes double for me! I haven't seen him for ages, ever since we had this Thousand-Year Door thing." Koops accepted.
"I agree with Koops as well." Bobbery granted. "So princess, is the party going to start right now?"
"Well, yes but I have to check if everyone's here." Peach replied.
Princess Peach carefully looked all over the crowd to check if everyone who was invited should be here.
"Toadette, is everyone's here?" The princess asked.
Toadette looked at her clipboard and then gazed back at Peach.
"Yes. I counted everyone outside before and I also ticked off the names of the guests on the clipboard." She told the princess.
"So, count everyone again to see who should be here and who shouldn't." Peach replied.
"But princess, I've already did that outside!" The female toad said in a whining tone.
"Just do it again!" Princess Peach yelled.
"But…" Toadette said.
"No buts!" The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom replied.
"…sigh… okay, I'll do it." Toadette sighed.
She looked away from Peach and turned to everyone.
"Okay everyone, before Princess Peach starts the party, I've got to count all of you to see who should be here and who shouldn't. So there better be no interruptions this time or I'll get Mario to trounce who ever it is, who is interrupting me. So we have… Mario, Luigi, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Bow, Watt, Sushie, Lakilester, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Yoshi, Vivian, Bobbery, Ms. Mowz, Wario and Waluigi. And that's it." Toadette said, counting everybody who is here.
The female toad turned back to Princess Peach.
"I think that's everyone, princess." She told Peach.
"Thanks for counting the guests for me, Toadette." Peach replied with a big smile.
"You're welcome!" The female toad said, politely.
"Now that everyone's here, LET'S PARTY!" Princess Peach exclaimed.
