Chapter 7

Fireworks

The entire castle shuddered from continuous explosions, waking Mario up in the process. The smell of smoke wafted up to his nose and within seconds an annoying beeping sound filled the rooms.

Groggily, Mario sat up in bed and said, "Whata in tarnation?" He pushed his feet off the side and suddenly fell and landed on the floor with a loud thud! "Oofa!" He was still worn out from being attacked the previous night by Kayako and Samara. His feet shuffled over the ground as he exited his room. He descended the stairs and entered the main room of the castle at the top of the red carpeted stairs.

BOOM! Mario instantly awakened when a blue firework exploded right next to him, causing him to jump and shout in surprise.

"Hahahaha! We should launch fireworks more often, Turtle Man!" There was another loud boom as Peach ignited another firework and it blasted into the air once again near Mario. The Italian wasted no time in getting out of the way. He did a head first dive down the stairs, on accident he ended up doing several flips, and at the bottom he landed on his feet with his hands stuck up in the air.

Peach held up a sign with "10" printed on it, and Bowser held up a sign with "01" printed on it, but then Peach nudged him and he realized that it was upside down so he flipped it over and somehow it came out reading "6.7." Don't ask how…

Once Mario had regained his composure he berated the crazy duo, "Whata in Super Mario Landa do you thinka you are doinga!"

"What does it look like we're doing? We're just shootin' off some fireworks."

"IN THE CASTLEA?"

"Where else would we shoot 'em off at?" inquired Peach.

Mario retorted, "How abouta OUTSIDE!" Bowser seemed oblivious to the conversation and proceeded to ignite a fountain. The red and green colors shimmered prettily through the air. The beeping that had started earlier picked up momentum and volume. It was the fire alarm.

Mario noticed it and a thought came to mind which he voiced aloud, "Why didn'ta they go offa whena she hada the fire ina here?" His train of thought was immediately disrupted as Peach held a Roman candle and lit it. The balls of fire launched at him, and a couple hit his skin. Slight pain surged through his arm but Mario quickly jumped out of the way. He yelled at Peach but she was in a world of her own; well, at least she seemed to be.

"Oooh! Pretty colors!" The shots rans out and she tossed the candle aside, like she was bored. Her and Bowser both picked up a giant firework that had to be as big as Peach. Daisy walked into the room, stretching her arms above her head with a yawn.

"Hey guys! How's it goin'?"

"Hey Daisy! Wanna help? Sorry we started without you!" exclaimed Peach. The yellow-garbed princess joined the firework launchers and the trio set up the firework so that it stood in the center of the floor. Peach pulled out a flaming punt and handed it to Daisy. Mario just stood there staring at them, unsure of what to do.

"3…2…1…Blast off!" The enormous firework flew up off the ground and exploded once it reached the high ceiling. Sparkling gold, red, and blue flames erupted and were followed by some orange as the ceiling caught on fire.

The fire rapidly spread and burned the entire mansion down while all the visitors/residents barely escaped to the outside world with their lives. Well…that's what probably would've happened if Toad hadn't come to the rescue with a giant water hose and a jet pack. He wore a bored expression as he extinguished the flames and soon the fire was out. The water shut off and Toad joined everyone else on the floor.

"What have I told you about shooting off fireworks in the castle?"

"That I shouldn't do it…?" Peach's answer was more of a question then a statement.

"Exactly. Now take your pyrotechnics OUTSIDE." The trio of pyromaniacs complied and immediately exited the building, taking their fireworks with them.

"Do theya normallya do thisa?" asked Mario.

Toad sighed, "Every now and then, yes. But that's what I get for having a crazy sister."

da marshmallow: Hey hey! So…what'd you think about this chapter? Be honest please. I know it definitely wasn't the longest but oh well…I couldn't really think of anything to add onto it, but hopefully next chapter will be longer. Anywhoo, I got the whole mansion catching on fire/almost burning to the groung thingfrom Cherry-Sama. Oh, and before I forget here's some credit for the Mushroom Mage who was the one who suggested adding Daisy. : ) A review would be very much appreciated and thank you very much all of my reviewers!

God bless ya and Jesus loves you: )
