Author's Note: Sorry everyone, I've got Art homework to do and I need to work on my website that I made so Chapter 13 has been delayed. Homework can really get in the way, you know. By the way, I got the food fight idea from the food fight that happened at my school.

British Shyguy: I know I'm lucky to have this many reviews. I think I'm talented as well. Anyway, thanks for the comment but what do you mean about 'going with number 2'?

Surferljb's alter ego (not afraid to deliver the truth): Um… how come you keep on saying that your head hurts? Who did you sleepover with? Did you play too much video games at your sleepover? Maybe, that's why your head is hurting so much.

BigFreddy: Um… yeah. Why did you put 'happy happy happy' in the review? Is reading this fanfic makes you 'happy happy happy'? Or you're saying 'happy happy happy' to Peach?

Now, let's get on with Chapter 13!

Chapter 13: Birthday Cake, Wishes and a Food Fight

Mario and his friends were at the buffet table, crowding around the birthday cake. Princess Peach is very close to it. The cake was placed at the middle of the table and the food was surrounding it.

"Okay everyone, let's sing happy birthday to the princess." Mario said to his mates.

"Happy birthday to you…" The plumber and most of his friends sang.

"... Squashed Goombas and stew." Some voices sang, interrupting everybody.

Mario and his buddies turned around. The voices actually came from Wario and Waluigi. Everyone stared at them, very angrily. They were at the back of the crowd.

"Hey! Why are you losers staring at us like that!" Wario demanded.

"Yeah, does it look like that I've got a Goomba on my head!" Waluigi agreed.

"Um… no." Mario replied.

"Then stop looking at us like we're some bunch of lunatics!"

The plumber and everybody else turned back, trying to ignore Wario and Waluigi.

"Alright everybody, let's start again since somebody rudely interrupted us." Mario said, staring at Wario and Waluigi, nastily.

"Happy birthday to you…" Mario and nearly everyone sang again.

"… We really hate you." Wario and Waluigi sang, disrupting everyone.

Mario and the party guests turned around once more. Nearly everybody except Mario looked at Wario and Waluigi, even more furious.

"Okay, that's it." The red-clad plumber said, getting annoyed.

He walked closer and closer to Wario and Waluigi and grabbed hold of their overalls, dragging them, literally, to the front double door. He put them in front of it.

"You guys better stop the stupid shenanigans right now! I really had enough of you guys always ruining everybody's fun! You two better shut up and say nothing or you'll get kicked out!" Mario scolded at Wario and Waluigi.

He then went back to join the others. While he was gone, they were still at the same spot, talking to each other and being very peeved since Mario shouted at them.

"Who does he think he is, shouting at us like that?" Wario said, being very cheesed off.

"Yeah, that loser is gonna pay for that!" Waluigi assented.

"I agree, anyway I've got a plan."

"What is the plan?"

"I'll tell ya later. Right now, we have to go back to the others."

Waluigi nodded and they went back to where Mario and his buddies were. Wario and Waluigi stood behind everyone else. The red-clad plumber turned around to face them.

"Did you learn your lesson?" He asked.

"Oh yes, we did!" Wario said with a lot of sarcasm in his voice. He then whispered to Waluigi. "Actually, we didn't."

"I'm glad that both of you learnt your lesson. I hope you won't do it again." Mario replied. He then turned back.

"What a sucker!" Wario sneered.

"Yeah, what a moron." Waluigi acquiesced. "He didn't know that we really haven't learnt our lesson."

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Princess Toadstool…" Nearly everybody sang except Peach.

"Um... I'm used to be called Princess Toadstool but you can say Princess Peach, if all of you want to." Peach said to her friends.

"Okeydokey, birthday princess." Mario said with a smile.

"Um… just call me Princess Peach."

"Okay!"

"Happy birthday to Princess Peach, happy birthday to you." The majority sang except the princess. Peach was blushing bright red.

"Hip-hip…" The plumber said.

"Hooray!" Everybody else (except Peach) exclaimed.

"Hip-hip…"

"Hooray!"

"Hip-hip…"

"HOORAY!"

"Come on princess, make a wish and blow out the candles!" Mario shouted, encouraging Peach.

"All right, if you say so." Princess Peach replied.

She closed her eyes and made a wish. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles.

"Yay!" Everyone cheered and clapped.

"So, what did you wish for, princess?" Mario asked.

"Um… I wished for... that you'll always save me and protect me if Bowser tries to cause havoc or kidnap me again." Peach answered.

"Well, I'm quite flattered but it will always come true. I normally come to your rescue, don't I?"

"Of course you do! You saved me loads of times!"

"Then why did you wish for that since it's already came true?"

"Well, I could wish for something else, for example, I wish that I had a new dress or I could see Twink again."

Peach grabbed a sharp knife and cut a slice of the cake. She then gets the fork and put it through the cake. She puts it on the plate.

"Do you want a cake, Mario?" She inquired, holding the plate with the cake in her hand.

"Sure!" The plumber said with a grin.

Peach gave the cake to her friend. Mario grabbed it. The princess then gets another fork from the table and gave it to the plumber.

"Thanks, princess!" He smiled.

"Your welcome!" Peach replied.

She grabs the knife and cut some more slices of the cake for herself and everyone else. They got a fork and the princess put the slices on everyone's plate. She then did the same for herself. Mario got a cake and puts it down near Goombario and he got another one and puts it down closer to Goombella. Now, everyone is enjoying their cake.

"Princess, how old are you right—" Mario asks.

When Mario was about to say something, he got been hit from behind. Cream was all over Mario's head. He then heard laughter and walked over to Wario and Waluigi. They were laughing their heads off but they didn't know that Mario was in front of them.

"I should have known. How dare you did this to me!"

"It wasn't us! Why are you staring at us like that!" Wario shouted.

"Because you threw something at me!"

"So! What are you gonna do about it?" Wario said, mockingly.

Mario, still holding his cake, he threw it at Wario. The cake is heading straight for him and hit his face.

"Alright, this is war!"

Wario grabbed a cream pie and threw it at Mario. Cream was all over Mario's face. He tried to wipe the cream off his face using his hand. Mario got pasta and Wario got jelly and threw it. The pasta hit Wario's face and the jelly hit Mario's face also. The Red yoshi infant watched as Mario and Wario were throwing food at each other.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Red yoshi yelled.

Everyone is now throwing food at each other except Yoshi and Peach. He was about to eat a cream pie using his tongue when Mario quickly took it from the table.

"Mind if I borrow this for a sec?" He asked, running past Yoshi.

He ran to Wario and threw the pie at him. Wario ran back to the buffet table while Mario was right behind him. Peach, who was in front of the table, stood there, shaking. Wario grabbed a sponge cake while Mario got a salad. They threw the sponge cake and the salad. The cake hit Mario and the salad hit Wario. The red-clad plumber noticed the princess and ran over to her.

"Hide under the table, princess; you'll be safe in there." He said to Peach.

Princess Peach crawled under the table to hide. Mario then grabbed some cookies and threw them at his rival. Wario moved out of the way and got three iced donuts. He threw them at Mario but he avoided so he wouldn't get hit. Mario and Wario carried on throwing food at each other.

Waluigi is chasing Luigi, again, holding a plate of pizza in his hand. On top of the pizza, there are some mushrooms on top of the cheese and tomato. Luigi is running for his life while his rival is on his tail.

"You won't get away from me this time!" Waluigi cried, still chasing his rival.

"In your dreams!" Luigi shouted back, still running.

"If you stand still, I won't throw the pizza at you. So, what do you say, will you stand still for me?"

The green-clad plumber stood still and so did Waluigi. Luigi thought to himself for a minute.

"How about… DREAM ON!" Luigi exclaimed.

"Fine! Then you'll get hit by the pizza!" Waluigi bellowed.

He threw the pizza. It was heading towards Luigi but he ducked. The pizza went past him and headed to another direction.

"Ewww, ewww, ewww, my hair, my hair!" A voice complained.

Luigi turned around to see Daisy trying to wipe the cheese and tomato and mushroom toppings off her hair. He turned back and now he is really mad at Waluigi.

"How dare you throw the pizza at Daisy! Now you're going to pay for that!" Luigi shouted.

He then ran towards Waluigi while he stood still, shaking.

"Don't you make me hit you." He said in a terrified tone.

Luigi ran really fast to his rival.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Waluigi screamed.

He ran off and then Luigi chased after him. Waluigi is running while Luigi is hot on his trail.

Toadsworth is walking down the stairs until he saw a huge mess. Cream pies on the walls, sponge cakes and birthday cake slices were on the floor and the other food were everywhere. He walked down the stairs, holding his cane. When he got down, he got been hit by a pie and Mario and Wario ran past him. The old toad tried to wipe his face using a napkin. When he finished wiping his face, he was really angry.

"Who is responsible for this!" He yelled.

Everyone immediately stopped throwing food and looked at Toadsworth.

"Well! Who did it?"

Everybody pointed at Mario and Wario who stood still, really shocked. Toadsworth walked to them.

"Master Mario and Master... who's that?" He said, pointing to Wario.

"That's Wario." A voice replied.

Mario, Wario, Toadsworth and everybody else turned around to see Princess Peach crawling out of the table.

"This is very impolite for a princess like you, hiding under there." The old toad said.

"But Mario told me to hide under there so I won't get hit by the flying food." Peach replied.

"So, Master Mario wants you to be safe?"

"Yes."

"I see." Toadsworth says. He turned to Mario and Wario. "I'm very ashamed of you two. How dare you throw food in the castle! Your behavior is appalling today!"

"But—" Mario said.

"No buts! First I see you running around the castle like an idiot, now I see you throwing food! This is disgraceful, Master Mario!"

"But Wario—"

"I don't want to hear any buts from you; this isn't like you at all! At Isle Delfino, you saved the princess and the island. And you didn't behave like this!"

"I know but that was ages ago!"

"Now you two better clean up this mess before I come back or you'll get kicked out! Understand?"

"Yes, Toadsworth." Mario said with a sad face.

"Yeah, whatever." Wario replied.

Toadsworth walked back upstairs. He went to the door and opened it. The double door shut behind him. Luigi walked past Mario and Wario with a grumpy face.

"Nice job, Mario." He said with sarcasm in his voice.

"Yeah, nice one." Goombario replied, sarcastically.

"Oh, shut up." Mario said, getting a little annoyed.

Waluigi walked past Mario, Wario and Mario's partners.

"Way to go, Wario. Now you ruined the party for everyone." He said, sarcastically.

"Hey! It's not my fault! Mario started it!" Wario shouted.

Princess Peach came over to Mario, Wario and Mario's group.

"Mario, we have to clean this up before Toadsworth comes back." She said to her mate.

"But princess, how can I clean up this mess by myself?" Mario questioned, getting a little worried.

"Don't worry; I'm sure you'll be able to do it."

"But I can't!"

"Why not?"

"I can only do it with help. At Isle Delfino, I got help by using FLUDD to clean up the whole island."

"I know but you have to do it without help otherwise if we help you, Toadsworth will shout at us."

"He won't if you and the others didn't tell him that you're helping me. Besides, I didn't start the food fight. Wario did."

"I did not, you loser, you did!" Wario yelled.

"No, you did!" Mario exclaimed.

"I didn't do it, you did!"

"No, you did!"

"No, you!"

"No, you!"

"YOU!"

"YOU!"

"You two shut up! Stop arguing for mushroom's sakes! We have to clean this mess before Toadsworth comes back!" Peach shouted at Mario and Wario.

"Okay..." The red-clad plumber said with a depressing face.

"Whatever." Wario replied.

Peach ran to the kitchen door and opened it.

Tayce T. is standing near the oven while Peach is looking for something to clean the mess outside the kitchen. The toad chef turned around to face the princess.

"Do you need help with anything, dear?" Tayce T. asked.

"Yes, I can't find the mop, two buckets and two sponges anywhere!" Peach answered.

"I will help you find them but this is your own kitchen, dear! Don't tell me, you've forgotten where you put them!"

"Um… er… I think I did forget."

"Then I'll help you anyhow."

So, Peach and Tayce T. went to find the equipment. Peach opened the cupboards and looked over shelves and the toad chef opened the drawers and looked on the table and the floor. But the princess noticed two silver buckets filled with water and two sponges near the sink and a mop in front of the cupboard.

"Tayce T., I found them!" She hollered.

Tayce T. went over to the princess.

"Oh, you found them!" The toad chef exclaimed with joy.

"But why are the buckets are filled with water already and the sponges and the mop are near the sink?" Peach asked with a wondering face.

"Because, I was cleaning the kitchen since there was a huge mess. I accidentally spilled some ingredients while I was baking some cookies but don't think there was a food fight that happened here."

Princess Peach remembers the food fight incident.

"A food fight, riiiiggghhttt, like that will ever happen here." She said, ironically. I hope she doesn't know that there was a food fight that happened outside. She thought to herself.

She put the two sponges in each of the buckets and carried them in her left hand and she grabbed the mop and holds it in her right hand. She then walked out of the kitchen holding them.

Mario, Wario and Mario's partners were at the same spot.

"Mario, are we going to help you clean up the mess?" Bombette asked.

"I'm not sure. The princess said that I had to do it by myself." Mario replied. I wish I had FLUDD with me.

"Mario! I've got the equipment!" A voice exclaimed.

The red-clad plumber, Wario and Mario's team turned around to see Peach walking towards them, carrying something.

"Mario, use this mop and the bucket of water to clean the floor and Wario, hand-scrub the floor." Peach told Mario and Wario.

"Okeydokey!" Mario smiled.

"Heck, no." Wario said.

"Clean this floor or you'll get kicked out with no food to eat!" Princess Toadstool Peach shouted at Wario.

"Whatever." Wario replied.

Peach gave Mario the bucket of water and the mop. And she also gave Wario two sponges and another bucket. So, Mario dipped the mop into the water and put it on the floor to wipe it. Wario grabbed the first sponge and put it in the water and scrubbed the floor.

"You two clean the floor while I'll go back to the kitchen to get more equipment." The princess said to the plumbers.

She ran back to the kitchen to get the rest of the apparatus.
