Author's Notes: Thanks for the reviews, everyone:D I bet you don't mind that Chapter 5 was a little delayed. Anyway, it was really amazing to play the DS. And I totally have fun playing my new games.

Surferljb: I'm glad you liked the part where Mario's old and recent partners were singing that song:) Anyway, I tried my best to try and make my fan fic really funny. But I got that song from somewhere but I can't remember.

Random67: Actually, I got some of lines but not all of them from my favourite fan fic but the rest of the lines, e.g. "Everyone please, this is not funny!" The red-clad plumber yelled, starting to get annoyed. Which were in Chapter 5, I just made them up. Anyway, I bet you can't wait for this chapter:)

Dorko4u: I'm glad you loved my story. Anyway, I got inspired from the Mario games I played to do this fan fic. I know you can't pick between Mario and Sonic. Their adventures and activities are endless. And speaking of you went to Tennesee, I went to Hong Kong on holiday and I played Super Smash Bros. Melee with my cousin. And I also played the Japanese version of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror with him. And then I watched my cousin played the Japanese version of Super Mario Sunshine.

After this Author's note, here is Chapter 6!

Chapter 6: Getting Chased by a Rival

While Mario and party were going to Princess Peach, Luigi and Daisy were still having a lovely chat, quite near the buffet table.

"Luigi, isn't it very nice having a lovely conversation together?" Daisy asked.

"Yep, it sure is!" Luigi said with a smile.

"Hmmm… do you think I'm ready to give the birthday present to my cousin, yet?" Daisy said with a wondering face.

"I think so but do you think you should give the birthday gift to her for a surprise?" Luigi inquired.

"But what will happen if she doesn't know about it?" Daisy said in a worried tone.

"Um… then just give it to her." Luigi said.

"Well, well, well… if it isn't Luigi!" A voice said in a nasty way.

Luigi and Daisy turned around to see a figure walking towards them. The figure turned out to be Waluigi, Luigi's rival.

"What do you want!" Luigi demanded. "Why are you here?"

"I'm just here to talk to you." Waluigi replied.

"Really? And what is you wanted to tell me?" Mario's brother asked.

"The thing is I wanted to tell you are… how dare you beat me to the castle, this morning!" Waluigi exclaimed, angrily.

"Beat you to the castle this morning! Since when did I do that?" Luigi inquired.

"This morning, before the party started. You beat me in a race to there and you're gonna pay for that!" Waluigi yelled.

"Oh, really? And what are you going to do about it?" Luigi said, insultingly.

"I'm gonna give you a knuckle sandwich, you'll never forget!" Luigi's rival bellowed.

So, Waluigi tried to punch his rival but Luigi dodged it.

"Ha, ha, miss me!" Mario's brother taunted.

"Okay, you ask for it!" Waluigi said, offensively.

Waluigi tried again to punch the lights out of Luigi but he missed again.

"Okay, that's it!" Waluigi shouted.

He then started to run and chase after Luigi around the first floor of the castle. Luigi kept running with Waluigi, hot on his trail.

"Maaaarrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiooooooooooooo! Heeeeeelllllllllppppppp meeeeeeeeeee!" Luigi screamed, while running.

"I'm gonna get you!" Waluigi hollered, chasing after his rival. "Come back here!"

Meanwhile, Mario and his partners were talking to Princess Peach.

"… and that's why we are here. So princess, when are you going to set off the fireworks?" Mario asked.

"Yeah, it's gonna be my first time seeing them!" Yoshi agreed.

"Well… like I said before, the fireworks will set off when the party's nearly over. And I'll be picking a volunteer to set them off." Peach told Mario.

"But who's the volunteer?" Mario inquired.

"Yeah, I wanna know!" Yoshi approved.

"Well… the volunteer is…" Princess Peach spoke again.

When Peach was about to say something, she was interrupted by a voice that screamed, "Maaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiooooooooo! Heeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Mario, what was that?" Peach asked.

"Yeah, it sounded like somebody's screaming for ya." Lakilester replied.

"I'm not sure but it sounded like my brother. I better go!" Mario said. He turned to Goombella. "Are you coming, Goombella?"

"Yep. I'm coming." The female goomba replied.

"Then, let's go!" The plumber yelled.

So, Mario and Goombella ran after Waluigi and Luigi. They ran as fast as they could to catch up to Luigi and his rival but the plumber and the goomba girl can't keep up with them. They both stopped running and they rest for a while. Mario put his hands on his legs to catch his breath. He was really exhausted and so is the female goomba.

"It's…no… use…trying…to…chase…them." Goombella wheezed.

"Yeah, … it's…getting… us nowhere. We… have…to…think…of… another…way…to…catch…up…to them." Mario panted. "Hmmm… how… about… running…the…other…way?"

"That's… a…great…idea. But…what…will…happen…if…this…doesn't work?" The goomba girl said, still gasping.

"Then…we'll…have…to…think…of…another…idea." The plumber replied, still panting.

"Okay!" Goombella said with a smile.

So, Mario and Goombella continued to run but they ran the other way. They ran as fast as they could and this time they finally caught up to Luigi and Waluigi. The red-clad plumber and the goomba girl stood still in Luigi and Waluigi's way. Mario put his hands on his hips.

"Hold it, right…" Mario exclaimed, trying to stop them.

But when Mario was about to finish his speech, Luigi ran past his brother and Goombella and Waluigi did the same, making the plumber and the goomba spinning and they fell to the ground.

"Sheesh! What the heck was their beef!" Goombella said, getting really annoyed. "At least, they should say, 'Excuse me,' to us!"

"I know but I wonder why Waluigi is chasing my brother around the castle for?" Mario said with an unsure face.

"Yeah, he's chasing Luigi around like a lunatic." The goomba agreed. "But who's Waluigi?"

"Waluigi is my brother's rival and Wario's younger brother." The plumber told her.

"Oh. Anyway, shouldn't we get going and stop that chase?" Goombella asked.

"Yeah, let's go!" Mario replied.

Mario and Goombella tried to get up but they couldn't. So they kept trying and trying and trying and they finally got up.

"Come on, we better chase after them!" The red-clad plumber exclaimed.

"Yeah but which way are we going?" The goomba asked.

Mario used his finger to point the direction that they should go.

"This way." He told the goomba.

"Okay!" Goombella said with a grin.

So, the red-clad plumber and the goomba girl started to run to continue, chasing after Luigi and Waluigi.

Meanwhile, Luigi continued sprinting with Waluigi running behind him. Mario's brother saw the buffet table and stood still in front of it. He saw a cream pie on the table and grabbed it. Waluigi saw his rival at the buffet table and he went very close to him.

"If you come close to me, I've got pies!" Luigi exclaimed.

"You're gonna threaten me with a pie! What are you gonna do with it?" Waluigi said, mockingly.

Luigi then threw a cream pie at Waluigi. SPLAT! It hit his rival. There was cream all over Waluigi's face. Mario's younger brother started to laugh himself to death.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I can't see! I've got cream all over me!" Waluigi shrieked.

Mario and Goombella finally ran to where Luigi and Waluigi were. Mario went over to his brother and grabbed Luigi's hand.

"Come on Luigi, we better run away before Waluigi notices you!" Mario exclaimed.

So, the plumber still grabbed Luigi's hand and they both ran away. Goombella went with them too. But unfortunately, Waluigi wiped off the cream, off his face and he notices Mario, Luigi and Goombella beginning to flee.

"Uh-oh! This is not cool. Let's run for it!" The female goomba yelled.

Mario, Luigi and Goombella continued to lope with Waluigi, hot on their tail.

"What are we going to do, Bro?" Luigi asked his brother, while running.

"Yeah, that smelly lunatic won't stop chasing us!" Goombella agreed, while sprinting.

"Then we'll have to come up with a plan." Mario replied, while rushing.

"But what is the plan?" Mario's brother inquired.

"Yeah!" The goomba girl approved.

"Well, the plan is... while we're still running; we'll hide somewhere so Waluigi doesn't see us." Mario told them.

"But Bro, where are we hiding anyway?" Luigi asked.

"Um…uh… I think we don't need to. Look! Somebody's coming to us!" The red-clad plumber bellowed.

Mario, Luigi and Goombella stood still while Waluigi was still sprinting. He got very close to them but a figure is coming towards them. The figure is actually an old toad named Toadsworth.

"Master Mario! What's going on here?" Toadsworth asked.

"We have been chased by Waluigi around the castle." Mario said.

"Yeah, he's going to punch the living daylights out of me!" Luigi agreed.

"Well, it's still unacceptable to run around like animals in a zoo! It's very impolite! What will the princess will say to you?" Toadsworth scolded at Mario, Luigi, Goombella and Waluigi.

"But…" The red-clad plumber said.

"No buts! It's very rude! And today is Peach's birthday, so don't ruin her day! And also while I'm gone, don't even think about starting to run around like idiots again! If you'll excuse me, I must be going." The old toad reprimanded.

Toadsworth then walked away. While he was gone, Mario, Luigi, Goombella and Waluigi were still at the same spot, talking to each other.

"Great, just great. We've been scolded by an old toad!" Goombella said, getting a little irritated.

"Goombella please, have some respect!" Mario replied.

"That goomba's right, if it weren't for that moron coming to us and giving us a scolding, I would have creamed all of you!" Waluigi agreed.

"But look on the bright side, at least Toadsworth came and stop us from running." Luigi said with a smile.

"And he ruined my day by beating you up!" Luigi's rival said, getting really cheesed off.

"So! At least that toad came!" Mario's brother shouted.

"Well, he scolded at us for nothing!" Waluigi yelled.

"…sigh… another day, another argument." Goombella sighed.

"Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these pointless quarrelling." The red-clad plumber approved. He turned to Luigi and Waluigi. "Guys, why not you two shake hands and be friends."

"Be friends! With him! You've got to be kidding me!" Waluigi bellowed, pointing at Luigi.

"Yeah, there's no way I'm going to be friends with him!" Luigi shouted, pointing at Waluigi.

"…sigh… this is not working." Mario moaned.

"Yeah, they'll never be friends. Anyways, are they rivals?" Goombella asked.

"Yep, they are. They're enemies to each other, everyday." The plumber answered. "Anyway, we should leave them. There's no point of getting them to be friends. They'll always hate each other."

"Yeah, let's go back to our friends. They're probably waiting for us, for lots of hours." The goomba girl agreed. "But if we leave them, Waluigi will run after your brother again."

"Well, he can still scream for me for help but if we chase after my brother and Waluigi again, Toadsworth will shout at us yet again!" The red-clad plumber replied.

"I know. So, should we leave them?" Goombella inquired.

"Yes, we should. Besides, if we stay here for much longer, I bet our friends will shout at us as well." Mario answered.

"Yeah, let's go!" The goomba said.

Mario and his friend started to walk and they're going back to the other partners, Princess Peach, Toad and Toadette.

Mario's partners, Peach, Toad and Toadette were busy talking to each other and wondering why Mario and Goombella haven't came back to them yet.

"What's taking Mario and Goombella so long?" Goombario asked.

"Yeah, I'm getting a little worried." Bow agreed.

"Me too!" Vivian approved.

"I think Mario did say that he's going to chase after his brother to get him safe." Kooper said with a thinking face.

"Yeah, maybe you're right." Koops replied.

"My, my, do you think Mario and Goombella went to the toilet?" Flurrie said with a wondering face.

"I don't think they have." Sushie said.

"Um… yeah, besides I don't think Mario and…er… um… what's her name?" Watt inquired.

"Goombella." Goombario answered.

"Oh right! Goombella. Anyway, why would she and Mario go to the toilet together? That's just…um… nuts." Watt replied.

"Oh but I thought that they were going to there." Flurrie says.

"I believe that Mario and Goombella indeed haven't finished chasing after Mario's brother yet." Bobbery said.

"Really? But that's what Kooper said earlier, I think." Koops replied.

"Hi guys, sorry we took so long someplace else!" A voice yelled.

Mario's partners, Princess Peach, Toad and Toadette turned around to see a familiar red-clad plumber and a goomba walking towards them.

"Gonzales! What took ya so long?" Yoshi asked.

"Sorry guys, we've got been chased by Waluigi." Mario told his friends.

"Yeah, and we've got been scolded by an old toad. He said that we've been running around like animals in a zoo!" Goombella agreed. "Besides, why would he shout at us for nothing?"

"I think you mean Toadsworth. But I think I know why he shouted at you and Mario." Princess Peach replied.

"Why?" Mario and Goombella both questioned.

"Because he wanted you two to not hurt yourselves and to be safe." Peach told them.

"Well, it still doesn't mean that he has to yell at us like that!" The plumber said, getting really annoyed.

"Yeah, I agree with him. Anyway, I don't think anybody bellowed at me before." The goomba girl approved.

"Really!" The other partners in an amazed tone.

"I think so but I'm not sure." Goombella replied.

"Princess, who is the volunteer?" Mario asked.

"Yeah, we want to know!" Mario's group agreed.

"Well, the volunteer is…um… you have to find out when the party's nearly over. I'll tell all of you for a surprise." The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom informed them.

"But I can't wait that long!" Lakilester couldn't help but complain. "I really wanted to know!"

"Just wait patiently, and then you'll know." Peach replied with a smile.

"Yeah, I agree with her. I bet you can wait that long." Toad assented.

"Yeah, you'll just have to wait uncomplainingly and then you'll find out who's the volunteer." Toadette acquiesced.

"Okay…" The lakitu said with a sad face.

"Mario, do you think that Luigi and Waluigi will stop arguing now?" Goombella asked.

"I'm not sure, really." Mario answered.

"Um… but since we're here, do you think that weirdo will chase after your brother again?" The female goomba said with a speculate face.

"Don't say it! Or they'll start the chase again!" The red-clad plumber bellowed.

"Okay, I won't say it." The goomba girl said with a depressing face.

"But running after them does remind me of being in a Mario Kart: Double Dash! race." Mario replied.

"Really! You've been in a race before?" Goombella said in an astonished face.

"Yeah, I have. I've been in loads of races in the Mario Kart series." The plumber told her.

"Was it cool?" Goombario inquired.

"Yes it was." Mario replied.

"Did ya win in the races?" Lakilester asked.

"Um… sometimes. Some racers won, though." Mario answered.

"My, my, I didn't know that you race, Mario." The cloud spirit said.

"Well, I've been in lots of races in the Mushroom Kingdom, before I met you guys." The plumber told his group.

"Really!" The partners said in a surprised tone.

"Yep." Mario says.

"In that Mario Kart: Double Dash! thing, do you have to pick a partner for the race?" Vivian inquired.

"Yep." Mario said.

"Really? Who did you pick?" Vivian asked again.

"I picked my brother for a partner normally but I sometimes pick somebody else." The Mushroom Kingdom hero told her.

"Oh." Vivian replied.

"Mario, since we're talking about races, do you think your brother will get chased again? I'm getting a little worried." Goombella inquired.

"Yeah, I know what you mean, but can you please stop asking me that question? You're making me worried!" Mario said.

"Okay, I won't keep on saying that question." The female goomba said with an unhappy face.

"Princess, when are we having cake?" Mario asked.

"Yeah, I'm hungry!" Yoshi acceded.

"Well, we will eat the cake when I tell everyone that we're eating it." Peach informed Mario.

"Okay!" Mario said with a grin.

"Um… Mario, what are we doing next?" Watt inquired.

"Um…er… I haven't decided what we're doing next but I'll tell you and the others later." The plumber told her.

To be continued…
