"I need somewhere where I can actually relax!" Toadsworth complained.

"Taking care of this stupid Princess Peach is really no fun!" he moaned.

"Wow you sound like you're back in your teens!" Daisy replied, shocked at what Toadsworth was saying.

Mario merely nodded his head as he thought of the perfect relaxation place for old people like Toadsworth.

"Ah ha!" Mario shouted. "I got it!"

"We can go to Serena Beach!" he said with glee.

Daisy frowned and then smiled as she though of something even more brilliant.

"How about this; since Serena Beach is only good for sunsets, why don't we go to Noki Bay first and then head on back to Serena Beach later?" Daisy suggested.

Mario though for a moment and said, "Okay sure why not."

"Ah now this is starting to get good!" Toadsworth sighed happily.

"All you have to do is look up at the sun…flash" Mario instructed.

In a bright flash, they were teleported to Noki Bay.

"Oh my oh yes it's very peaceful in here!" Toadsworth squealed in delight.

Mario and Daisy exchanged "he's crazy" looks, shrugged and decided to follow the old man to wherever his heart desired to take him.

"Maybe he could use an old friend." Mario whispered to Daisy making sure that Toadsworth could hear him.

"I remember there's an old fisherman dude around here that is sort of like Toadsworth." Mario recalled.

"That's a great plan Mario." Daisy complimented.

"Help me find that guy okay?" Mario questioned.

"Sure thing." Daisy answered.

Finally they spotted him atop the waterfall and tried to bribe the old toad on the looooong walk and jumps up there to meet his new "friend".

"Aw come on, it's not that long of a walk!" Mario said tugging on the toad.

"Yeah it's so short I could get up there in a second or two!" Daisy blurted out trying to help.

"Ah no no no no no!" Toadsworth said politely while trying to shake off Mario and Daisy.

"Then if you're so old, then how did that old guy get up there!" Daisy demanded as she pointed to the old fisherman guy atop the waterfall.

"Oh?" "There's another old fellow here?" Toadsworth asked them suspiciously.

"Yep." Mario and Daisy said in unison.

"Then we mustn't waste any time!" Toadsworth declared as Daisy shot Mario another "he's crazy" look.

At last after about only five minutes, Mario and Daisy were at the top of the cliff dragging a worn out Toadsworth along with them. Peach stayed at the bottom of the opposing cliff playing in the little lakes of water against the cliff walls.

"Come on up Peach!" yelled Daisy.

Her voice echoed as it bounced off the cliff walls. Peach paid no attention to Daisy and continued to do her sissy thing. Daisy shrugged and continued to help Mario drag Toadsworth up the road to the waterfall.

"Is that him?" Toadsworth asked as he pointed to an old fisherman guy.

Mario nodded and wiped away a drop of sweat.

"Hello there!" Toadsworth said as he charged towards the fisherman guy.

The fisherman looked up and saw Toadsworth about to slam into him so he moved aside as Toadsworth crashed into a boulder.

"Oh my…" Toadsworth exclaimed weakly as he rubbed his aching head.

"Are you alright?" the fisherman said while he walked towards Toadsworth.

"I think I'm quite alright." Toadsworth answered, patting his mushroom head.

Soon as predicted, those two old guys were engaged in a conversation.

"So where do you come from?" Toadsworth asked.

"Right here of course!" the fisherman replied.

Blah blah blah!

"At least your plan worked!" Daisy said.

"Now let's go have some fun!" Daisy climbed up the cliff some more and until she got to the top where Mario glanced at what this daredevil princess would do any second now.

Daisy took a deep breath, gazed out at the bay, and made a fascinating dive to the dark and murky depths of Noki Bay. The wind rushed against her face making her hair flow back. Her curls pulled back and her body zoomed forward. Then, SPLASH!

"What was that?" Toadsworth suddenly shouted out.

Mario glanced down to see if Daisy had surfaced yet and he too flipped in.

"Wooooooooaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Mario screamed.

SPLASH!

"Master Mario!" Toadsworth yelled but his voice was so faint to Daisy and Mario.

"I'm coming!" Toadsworth called out and dove down the waterfall.

His fisherman friend took after him.

"OH MY!" Toadsworth bellowed.

His friend remained quiet as if he once tried diving down the cliffs. Then…SPLASH! And followed by another SPLASH!

"Good thing I found you guys!" Toadsworth sputtered.

Peach, who was curious about all that splashing, approached the edge of the water and poked her head out to see what was going on. Mario, Daisy, Toadsworth, and the fisherman swam towards the shore and joined Peach.

"What were you guys doing?" Peach inquired.

"We were trying to distract Toadsworth so we could have some fun in this pretty but boring place." Daisy whispered to Peach.

"And…who's that old annoying guy?" Peach asked, pointing a finger at the fisherman that Toadsworth was chatting with.

"That's Toadsworth's new 'friend'." Mario said.

Peach scrunched up her face and made a very un-princessy face.

"He's weird…and plus, where's his face? Why are his eyes swirls?" Peach continued.

"Well I guess that's just the way he is…" Mario added.

Peach made a face again and went back to playing with the water.

"Wells Master Mario, Princesses, boys (toads), and snifits, let's head onto Serena Beach now shall we? It is getting kinda late…" he finished.

As they were about to leave, the old fisherman came up to Toadsworth and said, "Please come back and visit! My grandson is very fond of Master Mario and would like him to teach him how to be a hero!"

Toadsworth glanced at Mario and then back at the fisherman's grandson who was waving to him.

"Very well then, we'll see about that." Toadsworth replied.

Then they headed to Serena Beach. By the time they got there it was sunset as planned.

"I hope you made reservations, Mario." Peach shot a smug smile at Mario.

"Oh yes…reservations…cough I think I forgot…" Mario stammered.

"Ah ha!" "I knew a lazy whimp like you wouldn't be able to handle things!" Peach scolded.

"Me, LAZY! Watch your mouth, brat!" Mario shot back.

"If I were you I wouldn't be calling people lazy when I'm busy watching TV, munching on chips, and not bothering to help with anything!" Peach reddened and remained silent for she had nothing to argue about there.

Stumped. It hit on her like that! Stumped. For the rest of the walk to the hotel nobody dared to open his or her mouth.

"Last name, please?" the hotel guy asked.

"We uh actually were here for the uh you know…"Daisy trailed off.

The guy lifted a brow and said, "You mean the wedding?"

"Yeah! The wedding!" Daisy instantly cried out.

The pianta looked at them suspiciously and finally let them in.

"Whew." Peach murmured.

When they approached a room they thought was good, Mario suddenly asked, "How are we going to get in without those scan cards?"

"Blast it open with FLUDD." Daisy suggested.

"Here it goes for nothing…" Mario grumbled.

Surprisingly, the door's lock activator flashed green and the door opened.

"Wow looks like we got the jackpot!" Peach said.

Their room had a scenic view of the ocean and Pinna Park in the shadows. Mario walked into the room and flopped onto one of the fluffy beds.

"Perfect!" he sighed.

"Now this is more like it!" Toadsworth said in glee.

Daisy rushed to the bathroom to check out the soap and all the other freebies, while Peach stood in awe by the wide window.

"So, what shall we eat for dinner?" Lester 'Shroom broke the silence.

"Food…is that all you ever think about?" Toadmush scolded.

"On first thoughts…yes…but on second thoughts…no." Lester 'Shroom explained.

"How about some pizza?" Mario requested.

"Italian boy." Toadmush muttered.

"No wonder he's so fat." Lester 'Shroom agreed.

"Hey you do know that you're awfully fat for a toad too you know!" Toadmush pointed out.

Lester 'Shroom crossed his arms and looked away angrily.

"Haha I knew that would stump you!" Toadmush chuckled.

Finally the group decided to eat at Shellis, the Seafood Eatery. It was a half-sushi bar and half order-from-the-menu.

"Let's dig in!" Daisy announced.

Everyone immediately ran for the sushi and the tofu. In a about an hour, everyone was stuffed to the top.

"Oh so delicious!" Mario exclaimed.

"Ok now the tips." Toadsworth mentioned as he pulled out three coins.

After paying the tips, Mario and his friends left Shellis and went back to the hotel.

"You again!" the hotel guy questioned suspiciously.

"Gulp." Peach swallowed uneasily.

"H-hi again Mr. Hotel guy!" Daisy tried to sound cheerful.

"T-the wedding was uh great!"

"Uh huh…" the hotel guy said dumbly.

"Let's get going now." Mario interrupted and hastily pushed Peach and some of the toads away.

"Nice bumping into you again!" Mario lied.

The hotel guy watched the group leave and muttered, "Crazy kids…they'll never learn."

When they were safe and sound inside their hotel room, Mario asked Peach angrily, "How come you never help out when there's difficulty!"

"Um is it because I'm a princess?" she protested, hoping that Mario would see it her way.

"So? Daisy's a princess too!" he pointed out.

"That's right!" Daisy said proudly to make things worse.

Peach slumped down onto a nearby chair and placed her hands onto her cheeks, which made Toadsworth scream.

"Princess, how many times have I told you not to slump!" he yelled.

Peach lazily straightened her back and sat up properly like a real princess.

"So Daisy slumps sometimes!" she argued back.

"Don't talk back to me young lady!" Toadsworth shouted.

"So Daisy slumps sometimes!" Peach repeated.

"I don't care what Daisy does as long as she handles herself!" Toadsworth shot back.

Without waiting for Peach to protest, he continued on with his lectures.

"On the other hand, YOU need lots of attention while Daisy doesn't mind being ignored!" Toadsworth said.

He could feel his blood boiling. Peach whimpered like a desperate dog hoping that Toadsworth would buy it. As he is, Toadsworth did not buy her desperate look.

"Try that again and I'll get you for good!" he threatened.

Peach shrunk back in the chair and leaned back. CRASH! In an instant, Peach was toppled over with the chair on her.

"Oh someone help me up!" she grunted.

"See what I mean?" Toadsworth sighed.

"I'll lend a hand." Mario said sadly as he stuck out his arm.

Peach gladly accepted it and pulled herself up.

"You could have just used some furniture." Daisy mumbled.

"I like your thinking!" Toadsworth complimented.

Daisy acted like nothing happened, reached for her book, and sat down to read it.

"Good night!" Toadsworth said fiercely.

"Why are you going to bed so early?" Mario asked.

"It's only 6.00pm." He continued.

"Can't you see? I'm trying to escape reality!" Toadsworth snapped.

"Suit yourself." Mario shrugged and grabbed a nearby newspaper.

"I'm showering first!" Peach quickly called out so nobody comes claim the shower before her.

"Mmmmhmm…" Daisy answered, too interested in her book to care.

Peach sighed with relief and headed for the bathroom. Once she was in, she turned on the shower…and a blast of cold water shot out from the spout.

"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" she shouted.

"What in the world is going on in there!" Daisy jumped out and yelled.

"Never mind, I got the hot water running!" Peach shouted back.

When she meant hot water, she meant HOT water.

"Aiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!" Peach screamed in pain as the burning water hit her skin.

"NOW WHAT!" Mario and Daisy screamed in annoyance.

"I can't believe you don't know how to shower!" Daisy screamed in disgust.

"Someone help me!" Peach screeched.

"I can't…you're by yourself this time!" Daisy smirked.

"We'll see how far she can take it from here."

Finally after about three minutes of burning, aching pain, Peach managed to set it to a warm temperature.

"Oh much better." She sighed.

ONE HOUR LATER…

"That was sooooo refreshing!" Peach exclaimed.

Daisy rolled her eyes and said, "It's about time you came out of the shower."

Mario nodded his head in agreement.

"Okay so who's going next?" Daisy questioned.

Mario shrugged (as always) and pointed to Daisy.

"Fine." Daisy replied.

As she stepped into the shower and turned on the shower, she felt a blast of freezing-cold water hit her back.

"Brrr…Dang you Peach!" she screamed. "You used up all the hot water!"

Peach blushed and squeaked, "Sorry."

"Oh well." Daisy thought. "Good thing I got some chill training at camp."

In about ten minutes, Daisy emerged from the bathroom door and motioned for Mario to take his turn.

As Daisy walked past Peach, she glared at her and whispered, "You would have never survived what I've been through."

Peach giggled and started to laugh.

"You think that's funny huh?" Daisy said smugly.

Peach immediately stopped giggling and her smile turned into a worried look.

"You'll pay…right now!" Daisy laughed evilly.

Then Daisy made her way to the hallway and got out a medium-sized metal bucket. She smiled a smug smile again and filled the bucket up with cold water from the sink. Peach suddenly knew what Daisy was doing and backed up against the wall.

"No Daisy…you can't." she murmured.

"I CAN!" Daisy answered back.

With the bucket in her hand, there was nothing Peach could do. Peach saw the bucket rise over her head and she waited for the coldness to freeze her to death. Then…SPLASH!

"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Peach shivered and screamed at the same time.

"Haha that's what you get for messin' with Daisy!" Daisy mocked.

"What is going on out there!" Mario shouted from the shower.

"Nothing!" Daisy said sweetly. "Everything's fine!"

"Okay if you say so…" Mario said.

When he came out it seemed like everything was okay. The bucket was nowhere to be seen, the watery mess was cleaned up, Peach was dried off, and everything looked normal except for one tiny detail-Peach was shivering.

"Peach, why are you shivering after taking a hot shower?" Mario asked curiously.

"She uh just ate um ice cream!" Daisy interrupted.

"Right Peach…?" Daisy shot Peach a if-you-don't-say-yes-then-I'll-kill-you look.

"Y-yeah…I just ate ice cream…" Peach said fearfully.

"I see…" Mario said not trusting Peach completely.

"So, what do you want to do?" Daisy said, changing the subject.

"Bedtime anybody?" Mario asked.

"Sure whatever." Daisy shrugged.

Peach just followed them to the beds and flopped down on one.

"Hey wait a second Peach!" Daisy said. "You're not getting a whole bed to yourself or else Mario will have to sleep outside."

"That's right!" Mario agreed.

"Move over." Daisy said as he pushed Peach over.

"How rude!" Peach said in disgust.

"So what? It's not like you're going to move your lazily self over anyways!" Daisy argued.

What Daisy said was right for Peach wasn't planning to move over anyways.

"Now scoot!" Daisy urged.

Daisy climbed into bed besides Peach and pulled the covers over her. (They were already in their pajamas.)

"Good night Peach, Daisy." Mario whispered trying not to wake Toadsworth and some of the sleeping toads up.

"Night Swaffy, night Snoot." Daisy whispered to her snifits.

Then everything went black.
