Yawn
"Is it ALWAYS a sunset here?" Daisy said sleepily.
Mario stirred due to the noise and started to wake up.
"Huh…zzzzz…." Mario asked.
"I said, is it ALWAYS a sunset here?" Daisy repeated.
Mario glanced out the window and saw that it was still sunset.
"Weird place if you ask me." He answered.
"I'll change in the bathroom." Mario said.
"Okay." Daisy replied.
After they finished changing, Mario and Daisy took a walk in the sunset morning.
"This is really odd…" Daisy said.
"True since we're not used to it being sunset when we wake up." Mario mentioned.
Daisy nodded in agreement and said, "But think about the citizens that live here. They almost never get to see a real morning."
"You're right huh." Mario retorted.
Daisy took off her sandals and stepped into the cool water that was washing up on the beach.
"Ah it feels so good." She complimented.
Mario knelt down and began to build a sandcastle.
"I wonder if we'll find a ghost crab here." He wondered.
Suddenly something zoomed past Mario so fast that he couldn't determine what it was.
"Could it really be a ghost crab?" he thought.
Then he caught a glimpse of a pincer behind a rock.
"Hey Daisy check this out!" he motioned for the princess to come.
"A crab!" Daisy said in delight.
"This is so neat!" Mario and Daisy tried to lure the crab out of its hiding spot, but failed.
"Awww…oh well." Mario said.
They decided to head on back to see if Peach and the others were awake yet. When they got back to see that the lazy people still weren't up yet, Mario turned on the alarm clock and made it ring madly. RIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNG!
"WAH….ZZZZ…" Toadsworth popped out of bed and sat straight up.
"Master Mario, why up so early?" he inquired.
Mario glared at him and pointed to the clock.
"My did we sleep for a whole day?" Toadsworth said, peering out the window to see that it was sunset.
"No…it's always sunset here at Serena Beach." Daisy sighed.
"However you have been in bed for too long." She continued.
Toadsworth got up from bed and stretched.
"Y-you slept with your normal clothes on?" Mario asked, shocked.
"It's so dirty…and you didn't even take a shower!" he continued.
"Get in!" Mario shrieked and shoved Toadsworth into the bathroom.
"Oh fine." Toadsworth grunted.
Within five minutes, the shower was running. In the next ten minutes, Daisy and Mario stared at Peach hoping that she'll wake up any minute. Then WHAM! The bathroom door burst open and there was Toadsworth standing in the doorway.
"Happy now." He grunted unhappily.
"Much better." Mario said, satisfied.
"Huh..zzzzzzz…" Peach stirred in her sleep and slowly sat up in bed.
"Finally you woke up!" Daisy shouted.
Peach got up and went to the bathroom to get dressed.
"Shall we head on down to the nearby coffee shop for breakfast?" Mario suggested.
"Sure." Everyone replied except for Peach who was still in the bathroom.
They "checked out" (locked all doors and made sure that the beds were made) and headed down to the coffee shop.
"Everyone gets a blueberry muffin, one cookie of your choice, and either milk, juice, or coffee." Toadsworth announced.
After they chose who got what, they decided to go back to Delfino Plaza and visit Corona Mountain.
"Come on it's safe now!" Mario said, trying to persuade Peach to go visit the place where she was once held captive.
"There's no Bowser" Daisy paused, and then continued.
"Plus even if he was there, I got skills remember?" she said winking.
Peach giggled uneasily and agreed to follow them for the first time. Climbing up to Corona gate was much harder than Peach had expected it to be. Her gown got caught in some twigs several times and she kept stepping on her summer gown. She got splashed three times by the waterfall and her gown got smothered in dirt once. At last the group made it up to the gate.
"Here we are!" Mario said proudly, leading the way.
Peach uneasily followed and stayed near the group the whole time. Toadsworth was busily wiping away sweat from his forehead, the toads were eagerly chatting, Daisy was a busy taking picture, Mario was giving useless information as a "tour guide", and the snifits were protecting Daisy in case anything should happen.
"Aw come on Swaffy, Snoot!" Daisy complained.
"Have some fun! I can take care of myself!"
Unwillingly, Swaffy and Snoot left Daisy for brief seconds and quickly returned to her side.
"…And here we have the extreme lava sailing!" Mario said pointing to a clay boat docked near the platform they were standing on.
"We're supposed to sail across lava in that THING?" Peach demanded.
"Yep. That's how I came to rescue you." Mario replied casually.
After a long period of silence, Peach hopped into the tiny boat that barely held all of them. They saved some space because Swaffy and Snoot could fly there instead of taking the boat ride.
"Be careful of the sharp rocks!" Daisy warned.
FLUDD released a sudden burst of water and the boast jerked forward. There weren't any crashes so the crew made it to the island platform safely.
"That was close!" Peach said with relief.
"Oh come on! We weren't even NEAR a rock!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Now let's rocket up to the clouds!" Mario instructed.
"Hey uh hold on Mario, but wasn't the Bowser bathtub/Jacuzzi thing blown up when you saved Peach?" Daisy questioned.
"True, but I heard that they remodeled it for tourists to see." Mario said with eyes closed.
"Uh huh…" Daisy answered.
"This is fun though!" Daisy yelled as he launched herself and anchored herself to a cloud.
"Keep going Daisy!" Mario cheered from below.
Soon enough, Daisy reached the dark cloud that was the entrance to the Bower bathtub/Jacuzzi.
"Here's your nozzle!" she said thrusting down FLUDD' s rocket nozzle.
Next came Toadsworth, then Peach (who was very frightened), the toads, and finally Mario. (Poor snifits couldn't wear FLUDD.)
"Now let's sky-dive down!" Mario exclaimed.
"W-what!" Peach stammered.
She was obviously very scared.
"It's pretty scary since everything's lava down there." Daisy said agreeing with Peach for the first time ever.
"BUT…it sounds like fun to me!" she interjected.
"Darn and I though you'd actually stick up for me…" Peach muttered.
"YOU?" Daisy snorted.
"NO WAY!" and she jumped down to the clay boat.
"HA I made it!" she yelled from below.
"Incoming!" Mario shouted as he leaped off the cloud.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Toadsworth screamed while pulling Peach down with him.
"OHHHHHHHH!" Peach screeched.
The toads tumbled down and smashed on top of each other.
"No injuries." Toadsworth said, inspecting everyone.
"WHEW!" Peach said.
"This has been an exciting vacation for once!" Toadsworth declared.
"I think it's about time we return to Mushroom Kingdom. After all, we do have some issues to discuss…" he announced, glaring at Peach.
"Ah so that means we must part now huh?" Daisy said.
"No…for you'll be paying a visit to my grandchildren…" Toadsworth said.
"Come with us and you'll see." Toadsworth tugged Peach, Mario, and the toads onto their mini plane while the snifits obediently followed Daisy into her cruiser.
"I wonder what's going to happen." Daisy said.
Swaffy merely looked at Snoot and then glanced back down at their faithful princess.
"We'll just have to find out and see." Daisy continued.
In about two hours time, they all made it back to the borders of Mushroom Kingdom.
Back in Peach's plane…
"Hey Mario remember the golf course we held the tournament at?" Peach reminded him.
"Yeah…what about it?" Mario said not bothering to glance up from his newspaper.
"Well here it is!" Peach said pointing out the window.
"Uh huh." Mario said, still reading.
"Oh and there's the "Mario Stadium" from baseball!
"Right…" Mario said still without bothering to glance up.
"Woah look who won the lotto!" Mario shouted indicated at the headline.
"That's nice Mario." Peach said ignoring the who-won-the-lotto.
"Don't forget Yoshi's Baseball field!" Peach exclaimed.
Thirty minutes later…
"Oh and finally here's the "Mario Circuit"!" Peach shouted.
"Oh good here's my castle!" she called out.
"We're home!" Toadsworth shouted with glee.
"Finally…" Mario mumbled.
His head did not feel so well and his legs were extremely numb. Mario slowly helped himself off the plane and slumped over to a nearby tree.
"Marioooooooo! You forgot to help me get out of here!" Peach whined.
"Ugh." Mario replied not bothering to help the idiot out.
"Where's Daisy?" Toadsworth wondered.
"Did I miss anything?" came a voice from behind them.
Toadsworth whirled around and gasped.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack!" he gasped again with a hand over his heart.
Daisy looked at him oddly and then shrugged.
"So, what's what?" she continued.
Toadsworth coughed and said, "Right…about those issues…come."
He led Daisy and her snifits into Peach's castle.
"Don't you have any furniture besides artwork?" Daisy questioned.
"Uh…no…" Peach said; obviously embarrassed.
"So much for a castle…" Daisy muttered.
Peach sighed and looked at Mario. He seemed to be holding in a laugh or something.
"What are you laughing at!" Peach scolded.
"I'm not even laughing!" Mario yelled.
"What is your problem?" he asked Peach.
"Okay everybody, we're here!" Toadsworth exclaimed.
Then Toadsworth made Daisy, Mario, and Peach sit down in his "office".
"Ok so back at Gelato Beach I mentioned that my grandchildren and I cannot live with such an irresponsible princess who cares of nothing besides of herself. Such a girl of royalty with no self defense, wits, or sense of help is completely a disaster!"
Peach bit her lip hearing all these negative comments about her.
"So, Princess Daisy, is a possible if we could live with you?" Toadsworth politely asked.
"Um…we promise not to be a huge bother." He said.
"Well I DO have a few extra rooms left in the castle…and I AM bored…" Daisy said, thinking.
"Does Toadette and Toad know yet?" she inquired.
"Yes…I have talked to them back at the hotels." Toadsworth said with hope in his eyes.
"If I do not move…I'm afraid that my grandchildren will get bad influence from the Princess. And…I will not tolerate with this kind of life!"
Soon after a while of pondering, Princess Daisy agreed and they somehow managed to make Peach sign a document.
"I can't believe I'm doing this!" she whined and squirmed in her seat uncomfortably.
"Too bad, you signed it already!" Mario smiled evilly.
Peach's head drooped down in despair and stared dumbly at the dirty carpet.
"The packing will take a few days though…" Toadsworth sighed.
In about three days, all their belongings were moved out of the castle and into Daisy's.
"Well farewell Castle-of-Bad-Days!" Toadsworth cheered gleefully.
Toadette skipped along with Toad and they followed Daisy into her car. (Don't ask me how she got a car!)
"This is going to be great!" Toad shouted.
"Yeah!" Toadette agreed.
In about two hours, they reached Princess Daisy's castle. Many snifits and toads came to greet the princess and her new here-to-stay guests. Numerous toads were very happy to have the famous Toad and his younger sister around.
"Isn't this cool or what!" a few toads chattered excitedly.
Toad and Toadette gave a few of the toads a high five and then scurried into Daisy's magnificent castle.
"Wow…" Toadette trailed off in awe.
"Incoming!" Daisy said as she ran through the main doors.
"So follow me and I'll lead you to your rooms." She instructed.
Two snifits and four toads helped Toadsworth, Toad, and Toadette with their luggage.
"Okay you guys can have rooms next to each other." Daisy announced.
Soon after going up three flights of stairs, they came to a hallway with several doors on each side.
"I made tiny symbols for you just in case you can't find your room." Said Daisy.
"You may decorate the walls with pictures, posters, and whatever but if you'd like to repaint it or add another wallpaper to it, you must first ask me for permission." Explained Daisy.
"Are there any other rules?" Toad asked politely.
"Um…let me think…no…" Daisy said pondering.
"So that means we can scream and shout?" Toadette eagerly blurted out.
"Yep. Except past 8:00 pm." Daisy responded.
"Okay so I'll have a toad give you a tour around the castle in a few seconds." Daisy said as she turned to leave.
Soon enough, a purple toad came rushing down the hallway and braked suddenly in front of the three toads.
"Hey I'm Toadskie!" the purple toad exclaimed cheerfully.
"Nice to meet you…Toadskie…" Toad said awkwardly.
His sister did the same.
"Let's go!" Toadskie motioned to them.
They started on the first floor and made their way up the castle.
"Lastly, here are her royal highness's chambers. You are not allowed to come in here unless the princess gives you permission, understood?" Toadskie questioned just to make sure they got the important information in their minds.
"Got it." Toadette and Toad said in unison.
"Let's gooooooo!" Toad said as he slid down the stairway's banister.
"I'm going down the elevator!" Toadette said while pushing a daisy shaped button.
It lit up to a blue color and opened. Inside the elevator it was decorated with pictures of Princess Daisy. There was one when she was five and another when she was at a friend's birthday party. The most gloriously decorated and framed was a picture of what seemed like Daisy's family.
"Wow…her mom's pretty!" Toadette murmured.
Ding! The elevator was at first floor. While walking, Toadette bumped into Princess Daisy.
"I-I saw a p-picture of your f-family." Toadette said shyly.
"Come on Toadette, you don't need to be so shy!" Daisy smiled.
"I'm sure we'll be good friends!"
"R-really?" Toadette's eyes were twinkling with joy.
"Is it cool?" Daisy grinned again.
"Cool." Toadette replied.
"What took you so long?" came a voice behind the sofa.
"Oh hi Princess Daisy!" Toad said as his head popped out from behind the sofa.
"There you are!" Toadette said, running to join her brother.
"Sliding down the stairway railing sure was fun!" Toad replied.
"Oh you did that too?" Daisy suddenly interrupted.
"I still do that!" Daisy said. "Do you want to go to the game room?"
"Sure!" the toads shouted.
