Disclaimer: I don't own Mario and Nintendo.
Author's Note: Wow! This is totally cool! I can't believe I've got 51 reviews! Thanks for the reviews, everyone! This chapter is kinda based on Mario Party 2 on a mini-game called 'Move to the Music'.
British ShyGuy: Thanks for giving Chapter 11 a nice comment:) I really appreciate it.
Random67: I know what you mean that you were gasping because Sonic 2 reviewed; I was really shocked to see Sonic 2's review. I didn't expect that he would review my story. Anyway, you were right that the chapter was a scene of sliding. There were a lot of sliding in that chapter but I got the idea to do chapter 11 from somewhere else.
Crystal7: How did you know Mario said "Ahem!"? Actually, Sushie was shouting at the yoshi infants, not Mario. He did shout at them later on. I got the word 'tuna' from Kolorado, a koopa troopa archeologist in Paper Mario. He keeps on calling the whale a tuna. It happens when Mario and his old partners were at the Toad Town Port with Kolorado. Mario has to Spin Jump on the whale's back and to go inside its mouth to sort out the whale's problem. He has to use Watt to light up the whale's belly and fight the Fuzzipede inside. When the battle's over, the whale will blow Mario, Watt and the Fuzzipede outside. Mario will ask the whale and it lets Mario, his partners and Kolorado to go to LavaLava Island. Anyway, you will find out what Mario and friends are going to do next in this chapter:)
Surferljb: Was it raining at your school since you had your hood up? By the way, cool website you got there:D Hayley Waterhouse, who is one of my friends at my high school, has her own website. I asked her what is the web address of the site and she wrote: www.mentalandinsane. in my planner so I can go on it. She also said to me that she's going to put the photos up on her site. Me and my friends had our picture taken in break time on May 16th for Hayley's website.
me: I could make Goombario and Goombella love each other but I should have done it earlier. But since the story will end soon, there's no point of getting the two Goombas to become girlfriend/boyfriend.
Now, on with Chapter 12!
Chapter 12: Move to the Music – Again!
Mario, his partners, Luigi, Peach and Daisy were at the same spot, talking to each other.
"So, what are we doing next, princess?" Mario asked.
"Well… I did think about that we should play another game." Peach replied.
"So, what is the game?"
"The game is… 'Move to the Music'."
"Move to the Music! What's that?"
"Don't tell me, you've forgotten what the game is!"
"What is the game? I think I can't remember that far back."
"The game is when…"
- Flashback -
Luigi is standing at the left, Peach is at the middle and Yoshi is standing at the right at the bottom of the huge 3-D star. Mario was on a small 3-D star platform in front of the moon at night. The spotlights were next to the moon. 'Rhythm Shakers' music was on.
- Flashback ends -
"So, now do you remember?" Princess Peach said, trying to get Mario to remember one of his past parties.
"Um… I did remember the background and what we're standing on." Mario says.
"So, do you remember the music?"
"Well, I do remember the music. Was it called, 'Rhythm Shakers'?"
"Yes, it was and do you also remember the other one?"
"Was the other one called, 'Dancing Star'?"
"Yep. Do you remember what you need to do in the game?"
"Um… Er… no."
"I'll tell you and the others later. Mario, can you, your brother, Daisy and your partners join the others while I'll get the CD player." Peach told her friend.
"Okeydokey!" The plumber smiled. He turned to his friends. "Come on guys, let-a-go!"
His mates nodded and they followed Mario while Peach ran to the storage room. They were walking until they stood next to Toad and Toadette. Peach went to the door and opened it. She tried to find the CD player and the CDs but she couldn't find them anywhere in the room. She looked through the stuff that was lying around until she found an object. She walked closer to it. The object turned out to be the CD player. The CD player was light pink with mushrooms all over it. Next to it were the CDs. Peach picked them up and looked at the front cover. The first one says 'Rhythm Shakers' and the other one say 'Dancing Star'. She grabbed both the CD player and the CDs. The princess walked out of the room and shut the door. She ran up the stairs, still holding the CD player and the CDs. She put both of them down next to her.
"Everyone! Stop what you are doing!" Princess Peach yelled at the top of her voice.
Mario and everybody else immediately stopped what they're doing and turned to the princess.
"Thank you. Now, that I have your attention I need to ask you something." Peach replied.
"What are going to ask us, your princess-ness?" Toad questioned from below.
"Um… do you want to play 'Move to the Music'?" Princess Toadstool Peach asked everyone.
"Oh no. Not another cruddy game!" Wario moaned.
"What is the game about, princess? I haven't played it before!" Goombario inquired.
"For those of you who don't know or can't remember what the game is, Move to the Music is a mini-game in Mario Party 2. Let me explain what the rules are. Copy the moves of the dance master! If even one player is left standing, the dance master loses! But, I do have some advice that I could share with all you. Try to remember the entire dance, so you'll be ready to move when your turn comes along. Now, do any of you have any questions you could ask me?" Peach explained.
"What happens when you do the wrong move by mistake?" Toadette asked.
"Then you have to not move until the next game. It also means you're out." Peach told her. She turned her attention to everyone else. "Do any of you want to ask me?"
"What happens if the dance master doesn't move?" Goombella inquired.
"Then you get to do whatever move you want." Princess Peach says. She once again turned to everybody else. "Do you have any questions you want to ask me?"
Nobody said anything.
"Okay, let's get this game started shall we?"
Peach grabbed the CD player and the CDs and went down the stairs.
"Now everyone, stand in a long line."
Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, Toadette and Mario's partners stood next to each other in a long line. Peach put her CD player near the double door that is the exit and the entrance of the castle. She opened the lid of the CD player and the CD case of 'Rhythm Shakers'. She put the CD in and closed the lid. She pressed the play button, put the CD case near the CD player and ran. She stood still, a little far from her friends.
"Alright everyone, let's start the game!"
Peach moved to the left, then to the right. She blew a kiss and twirled on the spot. She then did a curtsy. Now, it's everybody's turn. Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Toad, Toadette, Wario, Waluigi, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong and Mario's team moved to the left, then to the right. Daisy, Birdo, Toadette and the female partners blew a kiss but Mario accidentally moved to the left by mistake.
"Mamma mia." Mario groaned. "I'm out princess, where do I stand?"
"Just stand over there." Peach replied, pointing to the direction where the plumber has to go to.
"But princess, you blew a kiss before. Do all of us really have to copy your moves exactly?"
"Yes."
"Um… you're joking, are you?"
"No."
Mario sighed as he went away from his friends. He stood near the buffet table to watch his mates playing the game. While he left, the others were still stood in a line and Peach staying at the same spot. She moved to the right, then to the left. She raised her hands in the air and stepped forward. She then stepped backwards and twirled on the spot. Now, it's everybody's turn. Luigi, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Toad, Toadette, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Wario, Waluigi and Mario's partners moved to the right and moved to the left. Everybody else raised their hands in the air but Goombario moved to the left and Goombella moved to the right by accident.
"Oh, shroom." Goombario said. "I'm out."
"Great, now I'm out as well." Goombella replied.
The two Goombas walked away to join Mario. They went towards him.
"Hey Mario, how come you're out already?" Goombario asked.
"Um… because when Peach blew a kiss, I did the wrong move by accident." Mario answered.
"Well, we did the wrong move by mistake as well." Goombella admitted.
"So, we're out until the next game?" The goomba inquired.
"Yep." The plumber said.
"Do you think the princess will win?"
"Maybe."
While Mario, Goombario and Goombella were watching their friends playing the game, Peach was standing still and everybody else was in a line. When the princess was about to step forward, she was interrupted.
"Dear?" A familiar voice called out.
Peach and everyone else turned around to see Tayce T. wearing a yellow kitchen apron and a white cook's hat on her head.
"Sorry to disturb you dear, how many candles do you want on your cake?" Tayce T. asked.
"Twenty candles." Peach said with a smile.
"Thank you dear. Expect it to be ready very shortly!"
The toad chef went to the kitchen door and she shut it behind her. While she was gone, the party guests were still in a line and the princess ran back to the CD player and pressed the stop button. She then pressed the eject button and the lid opened. She took the CD of 'Rhythm Shakers' and put it in the case. She opened the other CD case and took out the CD of 'Dancing Star' and put it in. Peach closed the lid and pressed play. She quickly ran back to her friends.
"Okay, who wants to be the dance master?" Peach inquired. She then noticed Mario, Goombario and Goombella standing at the back of everyone. "Um… the game's over, Mario; you can come back to here now."
Mario and the Goombas went back to their buddies.
"How come you ended the game, princess?" The red-clad plumber asked.
"Yeah!" The two Goombas agreed.
"Well, it won't be fair if I don't let any of us have a turn to be the dance master." Princess Peach replied.
"But who's going to be 'it'…er… I mean the dance master, cousin?" Daisy questioned.
"Um… Mario wants to be the dance master if he wants to." Peach answered. She turned to the plumber. "Right, Mario?"
"Huh!" Mario said with a puzzled face.
"Er… never mind what I said, Mario. Do you want to be the dance master?"
"Okay!"
"Then stand at the spot where I stood."
The plumber walked to the same spot where Peach stood at. Mario jumped in the air. He then done a punch and did the splits. He moved to the right, then to the left. Now, it's everyone else's turn. Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toadette, Toad, Yoshi, Birdo, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Mario's group, Wario and Waluigi jumped in the air. They did a punch but Peach and Daisy jumped in the air again by mishap.
"Oops!" Peach said. "I guess I'm out!"
"Aw, man!" Daisy moaned. "Great, just great."
Peach and Daisy went away from their friends. They stood next to the yoshi infants to watch. Mario raised his left hand in the air and stepped forward. He then stepped backwards and moved to the left. He jumped in the air and did the splits. Luigi and the others raised their left hand in the air and stepped forward. They then stepped back and moved to the left. They jumped in the air but Luigi did a punch and Toad moved to the right by mistake.
"Oh dear, I'm out." Luigi said with a sad face.
"Oh no." Toad says.
Luigi and Toad went to Peach and Daisy to join them. They went closer to the princesses.
"Are you two are out?" Princess Peach Toadstool asked.
"Yes." Luigi answered.
"What did you do out there?" Red yoshi inquired.
"We're playing 'Move to the Music' and Mario is the dance master. He did some moves and he got me, Peach, Daisy and Toad out."
"So, you're saying that Mario is 'it'?"
"Yep."
"Hey! Can we play?"
"Um… okay but you have to ask the princess first."
"Can we please play the game?" Red yoshi asked Peach.
"No because we already started playing the game. You should have asked me earlier." The princess said.
"Can we please play?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please, pretty please with honey syrup on top?"
"Alright, you can play."
"Yay!"
"Follow me. I'll take you to the others."
Red yoshi followed Peach while the other yoshi kids were behind. They went to where Mario and his friends were.
"Princess, what are you doing here?" Mario asked.
"Um… the yoshi kids want to play so I brought them here." Peach said to him. She turned to the yoshis. "Just stand next to anybody, okay?"
"Okay." The Red yoshi replied.
The yoshi infants went to the line. Everybody else let the yoshis in. They stood next to each other, next to Sushie.
"You better be good and don't you dare spoil the game for everyone! If you do, I'll give you a scolding you'll never forget when we get back to the village! Understand?" The cheep cheep said with a strict face.
"Yes." The yoshi children said, depressingly.
"Since you're here, do you know the rules of this game?" The plumber inquired.
"No." The yoshi kids answered.
"What you have to do is copy the moves of the dance master. If only one person is left standing, the dance master loses. Try to remember the whole dance, so be ready to move when your turn comes along. So, do you understand now?"
"Yep."
"So, let's begin the game!"
"Not yet Mario, we haven't picked the next dance master yet." Peach cut in.
"Oh but I thought it's still my turn." Mario said.
"Well, it won't be fair if you're always being the dance master."
"Can't I please have a turn?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because it's not fair for everyone."
"Oh. Anyway, who's going to be the dance master, princess?"
"Daisy, do you want to be the dance master?" Princess Peach asked her cousin.
"Alright, then." Daisy grinned.
Mario went to the line and stood between Peach and Luigi. Daisy stood at the same spot where the plumber was at before. Daisy twirled on the spot and did a curtsy. She blew a kiss and moved to the right. Mario and his friends spun on the spot but Mario moved to the left and Peach blew a kiss by error.
"Mamma mia! Not again!" Mario groaned.
"Oops!" Peach said. "I guess we're out again, isn't it Mario?"
"Yep."
The plumber and the princess then walked away. Daisy moved to the left, then to the right. She raised both of her arms in the air and whirled on the spot. She did a curtsy and blew a kiss. Luigi and the other guests moved to the left and moved to the right. They raised their arms in the air and spun on the spot. But Flurrie and Vivian did the wrong moves.
"My, my, I guess I did the wrong move, silly Flurrie!" The cloud spirit said to herself.
"…sigh… I guess I'm out." Vivian replied.
Vivian and Flurrie went to Mario and Peach to join them.
"Let me guess, you two were out, am I right?" The plumber said.
"Yes." Vivian replied.
"Princess, after Daisy's turn, who's going to be the next dance master?" Mario asked with a wondering look.
"Um… no one because after this, we're going to eat some cake." Peach said to her friend.
"I think you spoke too soon princess, the cake is already on the table." The red-clad plumber replied, pointing to the birthday cake.
Mario and Peach saw Tayce. T getting a box of matches out of the apron pocket. She used a match and lit the candles on the cake. The birthday cake is bright pink with strawberries on top. There is cream all over it. On top of the cake, there are icing figures of Mario, Luigi, Peach and the gang. There is an icing writing on it that said 'Happy Birthday'.
"You know that cake is making me hungry." Mario said, feeling very hungry.
"Mario, don't go over to it yet. We have to tell the others that the cake is ready." The princess replied.
So, Mario, Peach, Vivian and Flurrie went to their friends. Peach ran to the CD player and pressed stop.
"Game's over everyone, the cake is ready." Mario told his mates.
"Ooooooh! Cake! Yoshi love cake!" Yoshi exclaimed, happily.
"Where's the cake, Mario?" Luigi asked.
"Um… the cake is on the table. A bit obvious." The plumber told his brother.
Peach ran back to her friends.
"So, let's go to the buffet table shall we?" She said to her buddies.
Mario and his friends are now walking to the buffet table where the birthday cake is placed.
To be continued…
