Author's Note: W00t! Yay! I got 6 reviews! Anyways… yippee! The DS Lite has finally arrived in the UK! (Thinking) Gee, I wonder if I can afford to buy it? You know, white and black are not my favourite colours but I might as well buy white anyway. So, here's the next chappie for you to enjoy:D

Chapter 3: Party Invitations – Part 3

At the Marion Clubhouse lounge, Joe, Putts, Sherry, Grace, Azalea, Tiny, Kid and Gene were sitting on the smooth, black sofa which is surrounding a brown oval table with small legs. The former champs were having a meeting at the top of the stairs at the left side of the lounge. Beautiful pink flowers with leaves were in white, round vases at the sides near the staircase. The huge window frames were wooden and the breathtaking scenery can be seen. White pretty flowers with petite, dark green and light green leaves were hanging on the walls. A red carpet with a deep yellow wavy liner around it was under the table and at the bottom of the sofa. The floor has stones everywhere.

"So what are we going to do since Lilly and Neil beat us?" Grace asked. She has red hair with dark blue eyes. She was wearing a baby blue dress, a white golf glove and white and blue snickers. She is the previous doubles champion of the Palms club and Sherry's partner.

"We should practice, practice, and practice until we can beat them." Kid answered. He has the same eye colour as Grace and he wore a black cap on his head, a red t-shirt with a black collar, white trousers and black round shoes. He's the past Links champ.

"I just can't believe we've got been defeated by a bunch of kids!" Tiny fumed, his face was stern and chubby. He has a black beard around his chin, a black fringe and his hair was sticking up like a palm tree. His eyes were brown and his eyeballs were little bit wide. He has a small oval pink nose and tiny ears. Despite his name, he's not actually 'tiny'. He's very strong because his arms were extremely obese and his muscles show. He has pale skin and he's wearing a massive sleeveless t-shirt with no collar. A red star was at the middle of the shirt. He wore navy short and brown oval-shaped shoes. He is the ex- doubles champ of the Dunes club and Azalea's partner but he's stronger than her.

"Now, Tiny, just don't lose your temper." Azalea replied, putting her hand on his right shoulder. She was sitting next to her partner. Her hairstyle was similar to Daisy's and her hair colour was brown. She has murky blue eyes and her face was miniature. She wore a flat orange golf hat with a white lining on her head, an orange shirt with white short sleeves, yellow walking shorts that reaches to her knees, white socks and orange snickers. She is previously the champ of the Dunes club.

(A/N: She reminds me of Daisy.)

"Yeah, we can hopefully beat them someday." Sherry agreed. She also has a small face and her eyes were light blue. Her eyeballs were big and extensive. Her hair was ginger and short with a wavy fringe. She wore a sleeveless lime shirt, a golf glove, navy shorts and brown snickers. She is formerly the title holder of the Palms club.

"How can we? They are too powerful and they STOLE my doubles title!" Gene exclaimed, getting very mad. He wore a long red shirt with little white sleeves, grey trousers which get to past his knees, lengthy socks, gloomy brown shoes and a dark red hat which is short, flat-crowned with a red broad-brim. His hair was sticking out below the hat next to his ears. He is the doubles victor of the Links club and Kid's partner in the past.

"Calm down, you're just like Tiny!" Putts shouted, trying to settle him down. He has blonde hair with a curvy fringe. He wore blue modern glasses, dim blue trousers with a black belt and a grey belt buckle, a red t-shirt with a white collar and brown shoes. The bottom of the shoes is white. His face is smaller and he has black dotty eyes. He is the ex- doubles champion of the Marion club.

"What are ya talkin' about?" Joe inquired. His face is also tiny just like the rest of the former champions except Tiny. His hair is brown and some strands of the hair were let down. He wore sunglasses over his nose, a grass green t-shirt with a yellow collar, tan trousers and black oval shoes. He is the champ of the Marion club before.

"I'm saying that he's being really furious just like Tiny."

"Where are we going to practice?" Grace questioned, quickly changing the subject.

"How about the Links golf course?" Kid suggested.

"Nah, I'd rather hangin' around at the Marion golf course." Joe said.

"Yeah, we're used to playing golf there." Putts assented.

"So, should we get change?"

"Why?" Sherry asks.

"'Cause we always wear the same clothes."

"Oh, I see. What do you think, Grace?"

"No, I think we should stay here."

Suddenly, there was a few knocks on the door and everyone including the former champions turned to look at it.

"Come in, whoever you are!" Kid yelled.

The double door was brown and had a big cross on it. A thick lining was around it and the round handles were next to the cross. It gradually opens to reveal a familiar paratroopa with a mailbag flying in.

"That's something you don't see everyday." Azalea said, gazing at the paratroopa. The rest of the champs nodded in agreement.

The paratroopa flew past the two people standing around the circular table. The top is very smooth and polished. It had a tan circle with a gorgeous pink flower with leaves enclosing it in a tiny light blue vase with red little dots around it. A white cup and plate was near the vase. One chair was close to the girl and another one next to the boy. The chair was brown and has no arm rests. It has a chair seat and it is spherical. A tan circle was on it and the chair has four miniature legs. The rug is the same as the one above the staircase but it's shaped like a square. White flowers with leaves and a plant were hanging on the left wall. Another plant was very huge and has a brown stem in a brick-like oval pot. The paratroopa soared up the stairway and floated next to Putts.

"Er… Putts? There's somethin' behind ya." Joe said, pointing at the paratroopa behind his partner.

"What are you talking about?" Putts replied, raising an eyebrow.

"Behind ya!"

Putts rotate around to see a paratroopa with goggles over his eyes, wings on his shell and a mailbag that is draped across his shoulders.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Putts screamed as he jumped. His hands were up in the air and his face was very pale like if he's seen a ghost before his eyes. His eyeballs were wide and his pupils became very tiny.

"Relax, it's just a postman." Joe said as he put his hand on his shoulder and Putts turned to him, biting his nails. His nails were literally flying everywhere in any direction.

"Oh." He said, calming down.

"Er… sorry for making you frightened but I've—" the paratroopa's sentence was cut off short when he saw all the former champions in one place. He looked from left to right. "Well, well, what a coincidence! All of you at the same area! Anyway, wait a moment while I'll search for your letters."

Everyone was staring at each other in wonder and they gazed back at the paratroopa. "Letters! What letters?"

"The letters that I'm going to give you." The paratroopa replied as he opened his mailbag as usual and got out a big pile of letters from it and put them on the table. He began to root through them, spreading them all over the place. "Hmm… let's see, Zess T. … Kolorado… Rose… Max… ah, here it is!"

He finally got out a pink envelope with 'Putts' on it with the recognizable scent. He hovered to Putts and gave it to him.

"A letter for me? How sweet!" Putts smiled, bringing the envelope to his chest.

"Hey! How come we didn't get one?" Kid asked, getting a little furious as he stood up with his hands on his hip.

"All of your letters are in here somewhere, if I could find them." The paratroopa answered. He returned to the spot where his letters were and he continued to search.

"Um… should we help you find them?"

"Sure."

The paratroopa glided away as Kid and the others stood up and ran over to the table. They started to look for their letters, scattering them everywhere.

"Beldam… Marilyn… Doopliss… Goombaria… Frankie… Francesca… Jolene… Goomama… Koopie Koo… Bootler… Lakilulu… Plum… Maple… Pianta… Noki… Prince Peasley… Professor E. Gadd… Queen Bean… Zip Toad… Rawk Hawk… Pea… Sherry…"

"Hey! There is mine!" Sherry exclaimed, hearing her name and picking up her envelope.

"Professor E. Gadd… Professor Frankly… Kid…"

"Sweet! That's mine!" Kid shouted, happily as he grabbed his.

"Don Pianta… King K… Lahla… Grace…"

"Yes! Finally there's mine in that pile!" Grace yelled as she got her own envelope.

"Alex… Harry… Nina… Kate… Azalea…"

"All right!" Azalea hollered in happiness, getting her letter.

"Koopa Troopa… Boo… Gene…"

"There is mine." Gene simply said, not being happy just like the other champs as he took his from the pile.

"Harry… Sonny… Charlie… Joe…"

"Groovy!" Joe bellowed in joy as he grabbed his invitation.

"Sophia… Meg… Mason… Chad… Sasha… Sylvia… Chris… Kyle… Shawn… Linda… Gary… Jet… Kyoko… Micki… Emi… Roy… Flit… Skipper… Whisker… Paula… Elroy… Tori… Barb… Sass… Chas… Mel… Dweezil… Mynx… Willy… Sheri... Tiny."

"Hey! Why the heck am I last?" Tiny asked angrily, flames were factually were in his eyes and gritting his teeth, staring at Kid. They were burning really hot that he is now on fire.

(A/N: He's on fire just like when Princess Peach uses the Rage Vibe.)

"Hey! Don't look at me, blame the paratroopa!" Kid cried, pointing a shaking finger at Parakarry.

"Err… um… I think the princess is calling me, bye!" Parakarry hurriedly said, grabbing all the remaining letters that he didn't send yet and stuffing them in his mailbag and rushed out.

The previous champions just stood there like a statue in front of the table. Their eyes were not moving. They stood motionless for 20 minutes until Kid turned to them.

"…O-kay… anyway, let's open our letters." Kid replied.

They little by little opened the pink envelope that had the usual wonderful smell. They then pulled out a pink letter that have the princess's exquisite handwriting and her signature at the bottom.

"Okay, it says…" Kid said, reading his letter first.

"Today I'm holding…" Gene replied, reading it after his partner.

"… a birthday party at my castle…" Joe says, reading next.

"… I would be honoured if you could attend…" Putts read.

"… There will be all-you-can-eat buffet at the table, a splendid disco, games to play on the second floor…" Grace read.

"… and the party will end with fireworks and a barbeque…" Sherry read.

"… I hope you'll come and please don't be late! ..." Azalea read.

"… Yours faithfully, Princess Peach." Tiny read, finishing it off.

"Wow! We're all invited to the party! Sweet!" Kid shouted in gladness.

"Yeah! It's gonna be groovy!" Joe acquiesced.

"But should we get change?" Grace asks.

"Nope, I think that's I bad idea. I'd love to get dress but the invitation did say 'please don't be late!'" Kid answered. "Let's go everyone!"

Kid ran down the flight of steps followed by Gene, Joe, Putts, Sherry, Grace, Azalea and Tiny who was running behind. They raced past two persons who were at the table and they headed to the wooden door. Kid touched the door knob and unlocked the door and he turned to the others, signalling them to go after him and they sprinted out.

Author's Note: Whoa! That was a very long chapter I've done:0 The guests that the champions were mentioned, they are coming to the party. Yay! New Super Mario Bros. has nearly arrived at last!

I bet it's just as good as Mario Kart DS, huh? I say it before and I'll say it again, review away and please don't give me any flames!
