Because of 30th December, I didn't have a chance of finishing of this story since it was my dad's birthday. LOL, I've got a Mario Kart DS unofficial guide free with a different magazine. Sadly, it's not free with CUBE though. My dad bought me a new Mario game called Mario Power Tennis for Game Boy Advance. I named the female tennis player, Rose. It's a lovely name, isn't it? I could include her in one of my upcoming fics.
"Is Bowser finished, Mario?" Peach asked as she holds Mario's hand.
"I'm-a not sure, princess." Mario shrugged.
"He should be! He's gone forever, isn't he?" Goombario inquired.
"He-a might come back, who knows." Mario said.
"Hey, what happened to those loonies?"
"They-a must have-a gone home."
"If they did go home, they must be cowards!"
"Uh-huh."
Mario and friends went past the grass circle and a lot of bushes and flowerbeds while the snow was falling greatly. Yoshi, who was following behind along with Toad and Toadette, stuck his long tongue out, trying to taste the snow particles and closing his eyes. The other partners were looking around, to see if Bowser and his goons were really gone.
"What do you think Luigi and Daisy could be doing right now?" Peach asks.
"They-a might be having a snowball-a fight or they might be-a just playing around." Mario answered.
"I see but what if Bowser's probably causing trouble while we're out here in the garden?"
"Then-a they'll scream for their lives-a."
"I hope that doesn't happen."
"Me too-a."
"Master Mario!" A voice cried out. Mario and the gang walked closer along the path and they see an old toad with a white mustache and spectacles over his eyes. He was holding a wooden stick with a brown mushroom and tan spots on top. His head was a tan colour with brown spots and he speaks in a British English accent. He wears his usual attire but he's wearing a tan colour cozy coat with a furry hood. "I've looked for the princess everywhere and she's not there!"
"I'm right here, Toadsworth." Peach said, stepping in front of Mario.
"Phew! I thought that you disappeared!" The old toad, known as Toadsworth, said as he wiped his sweaty forehead.
"What are you talking about? I'm with Mario the whole time!"
"I see."
"While you weren't here, Bowser and his goons came along and started a snowball fight with us!"
"That's terrible! Were you safe?"
"Yes, thanks to Mario and his friends including me."
"So you joined Mario to defeat Bowser?"
"Yes, obviously."
"I was completely safe because his henchmen ran off and he was outnumbered, very badly."
"By who, princess?"
"Mario, his buddies and I, Toadsworth."
"I see, thank goodness!"
"I know."
"Excuse me-a, but shouldn't we hurry back to-a the castle grounds before-a Bowser shows-a up?" Mario put in.
"What do you mean Mario, I thought we beat him."
"I know-a we did but we have-a to return incase Bowser wants-a revenge."
"Okay then, what do you say Toadsworth?" Peach replied, looking at her steward.
"Capital idea, princess!" Toadsworth smiled.
So Mario, his partners, Peach, Toad, Toadette and Toadsworth walking behind as they were heading back to the castle grounds. In the meantime, Daisy was busy finishing off the snowman with Luigi. The green plumber was holding a frozen carrot in one hand and a broom in the other. Daisy used her finger and carefully drew a smile below where the carrot was going to be placed.
"Where's your brother?" Daisy asked.
"Not sure-a, probably out somewhere-a having a snowball-a fight." Luigi answered.
"Gee, it seems weird without him, huh?"
"What do you-a mean?"
"It seems… well, um… odd really."
"Doesn't seem-a like it-a."
"Well if he's having a snowball fight, then where's my cousin?"
"I don't-a know, I think-a she's kidnapped by Bowser again-a."
"Hey! That's not true!"
Luigi gazed at the snowman when he stood up. "It looks stupid-a with no buttons-a and hat."
Daisy also stood up and looked closely at the snowman. "Gee, you're right. Maybe try putting your cap on him."
"I left it at home-a."
"…O-kay… then what did you bring instead?"
"Something-a to wear for this-a weather."
"Then use your hat for the head."
"All right-a then."
Luigi took off his hat and put it on the head of the snowman. He stood at the front of it. "It still-a looks dumb-a."
"You're the one who's dumb!" A gruff voice exclaimed.
"Huh?" Luigi and Daisy said as they turned around. A Toad came running by and pointed at the sky. To everyone's surprise, Bowser was hovering above the castle grounds in his Koopa Clown Car. A bob-omb was in his claw, about to throw it. Everybody below was gasping in horror.
"Now that I'm back, I'm going to kill all of you!" Bowser yelled.
"I wouldn't count on it-a, Koopa Creep!" A voice exclaimed.
"What the-"
Bowser looked down to see Mario who was standing at the middle of his group. The female partners including Peach and Toadette were at the right of him and the male partners counting Toadsworth and Toad. Mario and the gang except Peach equipped with snowballs.
"You think-a you can get away-a with killing-a all the innocent-a people, you'd better think-a again!" Mario shouted, pointing at Bowser.
"Yeah!" Mario's party, Peach, Toad and Toadette agreed except Toadsworth.
"So you want a fight? I'll give you a fight!" Bowser bellowed.
He threw his first bob-omb which is heading towards Mario and the gang, very speedily. Mario confidently stepped forward and quickly got out his hammer and whacked it into the sky. The bob-omb was flying to Bowser but he moved out of the way while he's in his favorite transport. The King of the Koopas hurtled two more bob-ombs at his enemies. Luigi also got out his trusty hammer and hit the bob-omb back. Mario did the same. The bob-ombs were in the air heading to Bowser but he dodged them.
"Mario, this isn't working! You've got to do something!" Peach said in a worried tone, biting her glove.
Mario scratched his head and suddenly got an idea. He turned to one of his faithful partners, Vivian for help. "Vivian, can you-a use your ability-a, Fiery Jinx on Bowser?"
Vivian nodded and did as she was told. She used her ability and scorching fire was emitted from her fingers. She gave off a powerful blast and damaged Bowser severely. She giggled to herself as Bowser let out a terrible roar.
"Okay, that does it! No more mister nice koopa!" Bowser hollered as he got out another bob-omb which was lit already.
Mario winked at Vivian and she nodded, staring at her friend. She once again used her Fiery Jinx on Bowser. The attack attacked the bob-omb, causing a huge explosion. Everyone was covering their eyes.
"I'll get you for this, Marioooooooooooooo!" Bowser screamed as he along with the Koopa Clown Car went sent flying. Smoke was trailing out of the transport like a swirl and turned into a star.
Mario jumped into the air, very far above the ground and his group high-fived. Toad, Toadette, Peach, Toadsworth and everyone else clapped. Luigi and Daisy hugged and kissed each others cheeks because they were so delighted that the Koopa tyrant was defeated.
"Yahoo!" Mario happily exclaimed.
"Job well done, Master Mario." Toadsworth said. "You've saved us indeed."
"Thanks-a Toadsworth!"
"Why don't we come back into the castle and eat our Christmas dinner? I think it's ready." Peach suggested, beaming.
"Okey-dokey!" Mario grinned.
"Then let's go and chow down, shall we?"
Mario ran off and everyone followed him to the front door of Peach's Castle. They went in and the toad guards, who were wearing silver armor and holding a spear, both held on to a side of the double door and shut it. This is one of the best snowball fights that Mario and pals will never forget and they might have another one yet to come.
This is the last chapter, unfortunately. I hope you enjoyed it:D This is one of the successful fics I've ever done because it got more reviews but not that much and it's catching up to the number of hits A Mario Birthday Party has! Anyway, I like to thank KendraheartsFox, hamgirl, Nthrust69, Surferljb, Akie, Kiyoshi and Autumn for the reviews! The most loyal reviewers are Akie and Autumn. Thanks for reviewing more than one chapter! Sorry that I ended this late, I was trying to end this yesterday but I was busy playing Mario Power Tennis for Game Boy Advance. It was pretty awesome and I'm at the Island Open Doubles Tournament. I'm about to face the last doubles team for the final match. Have anyone gone that far? So review away and please no flames. They're not allowed. By the way, anyone wanna cheer me on for the match?
