Disclaimer: Er… you know the rest!
Author's Notes: Thank you for all of your reviews, everyone:D This chapter is supposed to be based on Mario Power Tennis. So when you're reading this chapter, spot any mistakes I've made and tell me what were they when you review this. Anyway, this is my first time doing a chapter based on tennis.
Surferljb: I bet you liked the part where Mario gave Peach a bunch of flowers for her birthday and she kissed him. And I bet you liked the part where Daisy gave her a necklace and Peach hugged her cousin. Anyway, I'm glad you find those parts very cute. Good thing, I wasn't there with you seeing those two teachers kissing each other. And when Flurrie makes her entrance, it's really weird! Pink roses appearing around Flurrie and a disco ball at the ceiling. And also the way she kisses poor Mario, making him faint. Anyway, two teachers kissing each other and Flurrie kissing Mario, those sights are really gross to see.
JOE: Thanks for telling me that my story is nice but is this is the first time you reviewed me?
Crystal7: I'm really happy that you find this chapter really funny and I bet you're looking forward to see who wins in this chapter:)
Stephanie: Thanks for saying nice comments about my story and Chapter 7. By the way, do you like the pie fight?
After this, here's Chapter 9 for your enjoyment!
Chapter 9: Mario Toadstool Tennis
At the second floor, Mario, Princess Peach Toadstool, Daisy, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette and Mario's partners were busy setting up the equipment. Toadsworth was standing at the middle of the court away from them.
"Alright, everyone!" Peach shouted. "Move the net to the right!"
Mario and Luigi moved the net to the direction that the princess said.
"No, I mean move it to the left!"
The Mario Bros. moved the net to the left.
"No, second thought, move it to the middle!"
"Will you make up your mind, cousin!" Daisy exclaimed.
"I won't if you shout at me again!" Peach yelled.
"Whatever." Princess Daisy replied.
Mario and Luigi looked at Peach with a confused face.
"Uh… princess, what was it again?" Mario asked.
"I said 'move the net to the middle', you remember that?" Peach answered.
"Okeydokey!" The plumber smiled.
So, he and his brother moved the net to the middle near Toadsworth.
"Princess, is there anything we need to set up?" Mario inquired.
"Yes, there is." The princess said. She turned to her servants. "Toad, fill the big basket full of tennis balls and put it at the left alley of the court. Toadette, fill the other big basket full of tennis balls and put it at the right alley of the court. Can you do that?"
"Yes, your princess-ness!" Toad said with a smile.
"Right away, your majesty!" Toadette nodded.
Toad and Toadette got the big baskets which were already filled with tennis balls and puts them at where Peach told the toad servants to put them.
"We put them at the right place, princess. What do we do now?" Toad asked.
"We will get the rackets and we will start the game." Princess Peach says. She turned to the red-clad plumber. "Mario, are you still holding the four rackets?"
"Er… yes but I gave one racket to Luigi and the other one to Daisy. I still have your racket and mine." Mario told her.
He walked over to Peach and gave her back her own racket.
"Thank you, Mario. I guess we should start the game, huh." She replied.
"Yes, we should." The red-clad plumber said.
"Okay! But before we start, I need to wear a different dress. Because, I can't wear the dress that I'm wearing now, I'll fall over!" Princess Peach Toadstool replied. She turned to her cousin. "Daisy, do you want to get changed?"
"Get changed! Right here! I can't do that; our friends will stare at us!" Daisy said in a surprised tone.
"Of course, we're not getting changed out here, silly shroom! We're doing that in my room!"
"Oh, I thought we're getting dressed right here."
"So, let's go to my room shall we?"
"Okay!"
Peach then turned to Mario. "Mario, wait for us right here while me and Daisy go to my room to get changed. Don't go anywhere, okay?"
"Okay but don't take ages in there!" Mario cried.
"We won't!" The princess yelled back, as she and Daisy were walking to the door of Peach's room. They opened the door and they shut it behind them.
While the princesses were gone, Mario, his partners, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad and Toadette were talking to each other.
"What should we do now, Mario?" Goombella asked.
"Yeah, you can't play tennis without them can ya?" Lakilester replied.
"Of course, I can't. Anyway, while they're gone I think we should wait for them." The red-clad plumber said.
"Wait for them! But I can't wait that long!" The lakitu complained.
"Just wait patiently!" Mario says.
"All right, I'll wait." Lakilester said with a sad face.
"Mario, Mario, he's our man! If nobody can't do it, nobod…" The female old and recent partners sang, shaking the pom-poms.
Mario took the pom-poms off them before they could finish their cheerleader song.
"Hey! Why did you take the pom-poms off us?" Goombella shouted.
"There's no point of using these right now. Peach and Daisy are not ready yet." Mario told her.
"Can't we use them as a practice?"
"Okay but don't use these in the tennis match."
"Okay! Anyway, who are you playing against?"
"You have to find out for yourself. I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Because… um… er… I'll tell you later."
"Okay!"
"Mario, um… is this is your first tennis match?" Watt inquired.
"Nope. I played against loads of people in lots of tennis matches before." The red-clad plumber replied.
"Oh." Watt said.
"Bro, do you think we should practice our tennis skills?" Luigi asked.
"Er… not now because there's no point of practicing since Peach and Daisy will be ready soon." Mario replied.
"Oh."
"Anyway, let's just wait for them."
"Okay!"
"Mario! We're ready!" A voice hollered.
Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Mario's group, Toad and Toadette turned around to see Peach and Daisy wearing their new dresses, coming towards them.
"Peach! Daisy! What took you girls so long?" Mario asked.
"We were getting changed and putting make-up on." Princess Peach answered.
"So, I guess we're ready, huh."
"Yep."
"So, are you ready to go to the court?"
"I'm ready when you are!"
"Okay, then let's go!" The plumber exclaimed.
So, Peach, Daisy, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette and Mario's partners were following behind Mario to the tennis court.
At the tennis court, Toadsworth is standing at the sideline near the net; Toad is standing behind the big basket full of tennis balls at the left alley, Toadette is also standing behind another big basket full of tennis balls at the right alley, Yoshi and Mario's partners were standing at the left alley on the left side of the court, Mario and Peach were standing on the baseline of the bottom part of the court and Luigi and Daisy were standing on the baseline of the top part of the court.
"We're going to beat you!" Peach yelled.
"In your dreams!" Daisy shouted.
"You can't beat me!" Mario cried.
"You wish, Mario!" Luigi exclaimed.
"You can do it, Mario!" Goombella hollered from the left alley on the left side of the court.
"Go for it, Gonzales! Don't give up!" Yoshi bellowed.
"Do your best, Mario!" Bombette shouted.
"Come on, guys! Let's cheer Mario on!" The female goomba yelled to her friends.
"Mario, Mario, he's our man! If nobody can't do it, nobody can!" The female partners cheered, shaking their pink pom-poms.
While the old and recent partners were cheering, Mario was blushing really bright red like a fireball, being embarrassed.
"Final set, Mario to serve." Toadsworth announced.
Toadette got a ball from the basket and threw it to Mario. He caught the ball and threw it into the air. He then hit it to do a nice serve. The ball is heading straight to Luigi and he done a Topspin shot. The shot is heading straight to Mario but Peach whack the ball, doing a Slice shot which is heading to Daisy. She did a Topspin shot, hitting the shot back to Peach. She did a Slice shot which is heading to Daisy. She hit the ball back to her cousin but the light on Peach's racket glowed. She used her Offensive Power Shot, Super Peach Spin which is a tough shot with a sweet curve, which is heading straight for Luigi and Daisy. Daisy quickly blocks the shot, making her dizzy. The ball is now going to Mario and Peach. Mario nearly hit the tennis ball but Yoshi used his tongue and ate it, making the plumber fell to the floor.
"Yoshi!" Mario shouted, getting annoyed.
"Hitting the ball is like you say." Yoshi said. He then spat the ball out.
"After the ball is out of play!" The red-clad plumber said in an annoyed tone, crossing his arms.
"You don't eat the balls, you pick them up!" Luigi told Yoshi.
"What! You don't eat balls! You call this 'fun'?" Yoshi said in a shocked tone.
Toadette ran away from the court to get the ball. She found it near the library door. She then ran back to the court. She gave it to Mario.
"Give up, Mario! We're beating you bad!" Luigi yelled.
Mario did another nice serve and the ball is heading for his brother and Daisy. Luigi whacked it and now it's going off the court. Mario then ran after the ball.
"Sheesh! Forget it Mario, it's outside!"
Yoshi ran after Mario and the ball and he bumped into the plumber, making him fell to the floor. Yoshi ate the tennis ball and spat it out. Peach, Daisy, Luigi, Toad, Toadette, Toadsworth and Mario's partners came over to Mario and Yoshi.
"Yoshi! What did we just tell you?" Mario said in a cheesed off tone, while still on the ground.
"Well, outside court means out of play, is Yoshi yes?" Yoshi replied.
"NO!" Everyone shouted. (Except Yoshi)
Mario finally got up from the floor.
"Yoshi, what part of 'don't eat the balls' do you not understand?" The red-clad plumber questioned.
"Yoshi not understand what you said." Yoshi says.
"Then why did you eat the balls every time I nearly hit them?"
"Yoshi don't know. I is so hungry."
"Oh. If you're that hungry, then go back to the buffet table. You can come back to us when you're full up."
"Yoshi yes!"
"…sigh… Mamma mia." Mario sighed. He turned to his friends. "Guys, I think there's no point of playing tennis right now."
"Why!" Everyone said in a surprised tone. (Except Mario)
"Because we can't play if Yoshi keeps on eating the balls and spoiling our tennis match." The plumber answered.
"But that means, we won't know who's going to win!" Peach said.
"I know but we can play tennis another time!" Mario said with a smile.
"We can!" Everyone said in an astonished tone. (Except Mario)
"Yeah, there's always tomorrow!" The red-clad plumber grinned.
"So, I guess me and Peach have to change back into our own clothes, huh." Daisy replied.
"Yep." Mario says.
"Mario, wait for us here while me and my cousin go to my room to get changed." Peach told him.
"Okay!" The plumber smiled.
Peach and Daisy went to the door of Peach's room. They opened it and it shut behind them. While they were gone, Mario and his friends were having a conversation and waiting for them to come out.
"Mario, what should we do now?" Goombario asked.
"Hey, guys! Why not we play 'Truth or Dare' to pass the time?" Goombella suggested.
"We can play that later with our other friends downstairs when Peach and Daisy are ready." Mario said.
"Can we please play that game?" The female goomba inquired.
"No!" The plumber shouted.
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please, pretty please with maple syrup on top?"
"…sigh… Oh for mushroom's sakes, the answer is no!"
"Please?"
"All right, we will play that game."
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare, Goombella."
"Okay, I dare you to run up and down the stairs 100 times."
"What! I can't do that! Are you nuts!"
"No."
"Okay, it's my turn. Truth or Dare?"
"Truth, Mario."
"Is it true that I met you in Rougeport?"
"Yep."
"Hey, Mario! Can I have a go?" Goombario asked.
"Sure!" Mario said with a grin.
"Mario! Luigi! We're ready!" A voice exclaimed.
The red-clad plumber and his friends turned around to see Peach and Daisy wearing their usual beautiful dresses.
"Mario, what were you doing while we're gone?" Peach asked.
"Playing 'Truth or Dare'." Mario answered.
"Oh. Can Daisy and I play?"
"Yes but we have to put the equipment back in the storage room."
"Oh." Peach said. "Mario, can you and Luigi move the net to the storage room?"
"Okeydokey!" The plumber said with a big smile.
"Toad, carry the big basket of balls to the storage room and Toadette, you do the same. Can you two do it?" Princess Peach told her servants.
"Right away, princess." Toadette replied.
"You got it, your princess-ness!" Toad nodded.
"Are you going to help us, princess?" Mario inquired.
"Yes, I am. I'm going to put the four rackets back in the storage room." Peach said.
So, Mario and his friends went back to the court. Peach took the rackets from Mario, Daisy and Luigi, The Mario Bros. went to the net and moved it and Toad and Toadette went to where the baskets were and carried them.
"Did we get everything, princess?" The red-clad plumber asked.
"Yep. Now we can take them down to the storage room." Princess Peach Toadstool answered.
"After that, we can finally play 'Truth or Dare' with our other friends." Mario replied.
"Is Truth or Dare fun, Mario?" Daisy inquired.
"Of course, it's fun! Me and my partners were playing that game." The plumber grinned.
"What was the game like?"
"You'll soon find out when we go downstairs."
"Do we get to kiss anybody, Mario?" Kooper asked.
"Er… no because we can only do that in 'Truth, Dare or Kiss' or something like that." Mario said.
"Pardon me, I hate to interrupt but we have to put the equipment away, remember?" Peach butt in.
"Oh, I nearly forgot about that." The red-clad plumber replied.
"Me too!" Daisy agreed.
"So everyone, are we ready to head downstairs?" The princess asked her friends.
"I'm ready when you are!" Daisy said.
"I'm ready too!" Mario said with a big smile.
"Don't forget me!" Luigi added.
"We're ready, your majesty!" Toad and Toadette smiled.
"Yoshi!" Yoshi said with delight.
"I'm ready, princess." Toadsworth replied.
"Then, let's go!" Princess Peach exclaimed.
Mario, Peach, Luigi, Daisy, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette, Toadsworth and Mario's partners walked to the double door while holding the equipment and opened it. The double door then shut behind them. They're now heading downstairs back to the first floor of the castle.
