It's a Fools Game. Chapter 2.

Daisy spent the next half hour walking around the ballroom trying to find Waluigi. She felt like schoolgirl at the school disco, trying to find the lad she fancied. Except in this case she didn't actually fancy the guy. After a while she spotted her intended target over by the punch bowl talking to his brother Wario. Not knowing what she was exactly going to do she walked over in his direction, trying to walk sexily. Glancing over at him she saw, to her dismay that he wasn't looking in her direction. Giving up her strutting she casually walked over to the punch bowl and slightly barged him out of her way. When he looked at her she gave him a mischievous grin.

"Sorry!" She said smiling. He grumbled a response back at her and turned back to Wario.

Feeling a little annoyed about his reaction she decided she would walk past him seductively. Walking past she was positive he couldn't ignore her. So walking past seductively she glanced over at him and he was actually looking at her. She couldn't believe her luck. This was going to be easier then first imagined. As she looked at him she winked and carried on walking. Her next step was to get him by himself and what better place then the balcony. Heading in the direction of the balcony she kept turning round grin at Waluigi.

Opening the door to the balcony she stepped out into the fresh air, trying to compose herself as she breathed heavily. Shutting the door behind her she walked to the edge of the balcony and looked over into the distance. Now she would wait for him to follow her outside, if he actually had the brainpower to convince him to go outside any way. Her moment's thought was shattered when she heard the door open from behind her. Smirking to herself she couldn't believe how well this was all going.

"You really shouldn't play games, you don't know who you'll attract" Came the voice from behind her. Daisy widened her eyes in shock as she realised the voice was too deep t be Waluigi's. She turned round to come face to face with...

"Wario! What the -" Daisy said alarmed

"I saw you looking at me with them eye's"

"Excuse me?"

"I understand that I am attractive but I do have a reputation to keep" Wario said with a crooked smile. Daisy snorted.

"Sorry to burst your bubble but I have no interest in you what so ever!" Daisy said as she made to leave. Wario stood in her way though.

"Awwwh Daisy don't go. It's still early," He said in his most sly voice.

"I need to go do something," Daisy said.

"And?"

"And move!" Daisy said as she tried to push past him, unfortunately he was too strong for her. Daisy made to slap him but it was no good, he grabbed her by her wrists. Daisy got a little bit worried because she couldn't escape and she didn't know if he was joking or not. She was even more worried when he brought his face to her and made to kiss her.

"Hey bro! Free buffet!"

Daisy had never been so relieved to see Waluigi in all her life. At the mention of a free buffet and Wario was gone. Daisy sighed a sigh of relief and smiled sheepishly at Waluigi who was eyeing her suspiciously.

"You shouldn't wind him up you know" Waluigi said to Daisy.

"I wasn't!" Daisy said defiantly. Waluigi shook his head in disagreement. Daisy scowled and headed towards the door. Before she walked through it she turned to Waluigi and had her final say.

"For your information it wasn't him I was eyeing up!"

Later on Daisy found Peach and reeled off the earlier events. Peach couldn't help but laugh when she found out that her signals intended for Waluigi ended up being received by Wario.

"It's not funny! He was going to kiss me!" Daisy said with exasperation.

"Luckily Waluigi came in when he did then" Peach said still grinning.

"Oh yeah, my hero" Daisy replied with sarcasm. This gave Peach an idea. She told Daisy that next time she saw Waluigi she could thank him for saving her. Daisy thought this plan was an all right one so she decided to go ahead with it. Luckily for her it wasn't too long before she found Waluigi again.

He was standing in the corner alone with a big scowl on his face. Not too far from him a few small female toads where standing in a group giggling and glancing in his direction. Daisy watched them for a moment and decided she would go and innocently talk to them.

"Hey girls" She said cheerfully. Thankfully she knew Toadette so she wasn't completely intruding.

"Hey Dais!" Chirped Toadette happily. The other girls waved and greeted her in the same fashion.

"What's going on?" Daisy asked. Toadette rolled her eyes and explained.

"Well Shirley has a thing for Waluigi. We told her he's mean, foul, rude, argumentative and so forth but she just isn't having any of it" Toadette said. The purple toad called Shirley smiled shyly.

"But he's so got the dark, mysterious and has soooo got the brooding look about him" She squeaked. Toadette shook her head. Daisy glanced over at the man in question. Some how she felt compelled to agree. Realising people the girls were staring at her she knocked that notion into the back of her mind and turned back to them.

"He's got something about him that's for sure," She said and the others agreed.

A while later Toadette and friends had left Daisy so they could go and harass Toad. Waluigi was still scowling at anyone who walked past. Daisy decided to go and make her self-known. Walking over without a word she leaned on the wall next to him. After a few minutes Daisy decided to break the ice.

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"Saving me from your idiot brother" She turned to look at him and he was looking directly back at her. His mouth twisted into a smile and he eyed her curiously.

"All I want to know is if it wasn't Wario you were making the eyes at, who was it?" Daisy felt herself grow hot inside. She hadn't prepared an answer for that question.

"Well?"

"It's none of your business," She answered with a grin.

"Really? Well if it's not Wario then you have two options. There were only three of us in the direction you were looking. So its either Toadsworth or –"

Daisy gulped and felt her self blush.

"Or?" She said timidly.

"Me, now I don't think Toadsworth is young enough for me, unless of course you like the aging fungus type?" he whispered in a deadly voice.

"Erm I've got to go. Bye" Daisy stuttered and then ran off leaving a smirking Waluigi in her wake.
