Mario Kart Crisis

Disclaimer: Don't own Mario Kart.

A/N: And now on to Daisy's little thing. Hardly little though. Also, I got reviews for this. Yay. Okay, not much to say right now, except that one chapter I started writing (about a different course, not here), has just been moved to chapter 5 in stead of 4. Okay, starting now.

…Did I use okay too much?

Chapter 4: Miss Golds' Magnificent Grace

Calming the girl down--the girl who was usually so quiet, so something must have happened--Tahjra's mother began to examine Daisy.

"This is serious. She's got metal all in her body and she's suffering from hypothermia…we'll have to move inside quickly."

She, her son, and Redsia moved the princess into a hut, made out of sticks and dead plants. The other townspeople began to help, knowing that they were aiding the enemy, but also knowing they were saving someone from dying.

"Is she going to be okay?" Redsia asked.

"Yes, but I'll need a fire started, snow, and bandages. We're going to save her. Tahjra, you help."

The boy nodded and left.

"Thank you, Miss Golds." Redsia smiled warmly at the woman.

"You've got some blood on your hammer, Redsia."

She gasped, blushed, then wiped it off, "I'm sorry."

"You know our village saying. Just because you may hate something…doesn't mean you have the right to devastate them."

"Oh, but I didn't…"

"I'm sure you didn't…but even so…"

"Will Tahjra and I be trialed later…?"

"Yes. I'm sorry. But if you did do this, then--"

"I'll die. But I can prove--"

"That will be for later. You brought her to heal. That's something."

"Thank you, Miss Golds. I--"

"We can't make with the chit-chat. Tahjra's already gone, and so you should be as well."

The girl blushed again and ran off. The other townsfolk began supplying everything the woman needed…

"Tahjra, your mom…I think she might think we did this."

"Yeah, I know…but she trusts us, really."

"I know, it's just that--"

"If they do think it's us, I'll just take the blame. No big deal."

"But you'll die! And besides, our code of truth makes any witness that relates to the crime tell the truth or they will be punished! Your mother saw blood on my hammer!"

"That doesn't make any difference. My mom would give her life to save anyone in the village. And so would I. We're like a big family, sort of…"

He held her hand, "And family sticks together."

"Tahjra…" it was the first time he was actually sincere. Just to her…

But she had to snap out of it, "Let's get the snow and stuff now, okay?"

"Yeah."

"Good. Her breathing's stabilized. Thank you for the fire, gentlemen. Tahjra and Redsia should soon be back to support it." Miss Golds smiled.

"I don' think 'ey did it." one said.

"Ye, it doesn' seem so."

"Don't worry. They won't be trialed. I heard her whisper to those children 'Thank you' and she certainly wouldn't be saying hat if they tried to kill her. And, they're just kids!"

"Ye."

"Ye!"

Tahjra and Redsia burst in, "We've got everything!"

"Thank you." Miss Golds took snow and began applying it to the wounds. She put on some rubber gloves (miraculously made from thrown out tires of old Mario Kart Grand Prix's) and began to take out the metal.

"Is she okay, so far?" Tahjra asked.

"Yes." Miss Golds then noticed a small piece of metal on Daisy's leg, "This shouldn't be hard to excise." She tugged at it. Having forceps would be a LOT easier right now…she tugged more…it was a HUGE Slab of metal, and much of it had ripped open some veins and other blood vessels, "Redsia, go get some string so I can suture these! I'm not very skilled, but do it NOW!"

Redsia ran off, thinking 'Oh I forgot bandages, too.' She rushed off to get those and got a bunch of string and began to run back. She saw a cloud smiling at her wit a yellow thing. She kept running. The sun…no wait, Lakitu! She ran faster towards her goal…and burst in without the cloud-rider knowing.

"Lakitu are outside! We've got to hide her!"

"There is a room in the back for such an occasion. Move out the golden things and put what's important inside." Miss Golds said firmly.

"But Estelle!--" a man yelled.

"We'll just bury it…that room is very big." She pulled on what looked like a ordinary wall. It revealed a hole, covered with snow. Miss Golds, or Estelle, explained, "It's not real snow. Stuffing from an old couch…when people stayed here….when there was a resort."

"Oh yeah. I liked that." Tahjra commented, "Nobody was an ass to us."

"Watch your language. Everyone else, get into the hole. I'm going to talk with them."

"But!--" Tahjra began, as the people began to go in.

"No buts. Do what your mother tells you."

Tahjra gave her a sad look, and she a stern one. He went in and put the "snow" cover back on. Miss Golds shut the fake wall and went outside. It was barren and snowing.

"We've heard reports a Princess Daisy was seen here. Is she?" The Lakitu held out A spiny, ready to attack.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Estelle said firmly, yet calmly, "We are trying to live here. We don't need you bitching at us about flower royalty and such."

"You realize you are talking and offending a member of the Mario Kart organization."

"You realize you are killing these people? Do you remember the resort that used to be here. Crystal Clear Ice! No! Was it deleted off the records because you people let us rely on you, and we abandoned the old ways? You killed us, and you are killing us now! We can barely even get water. Talking and offending! Bull. Shit. There is no Daisy here. Move on."

"We will search these houses for her."

"Fine. I am going back to cook. Miss Golds went back to her hut and hid the medical objects, and threw a stick through some meat, and put it over the fire. She was lying and cooking at the same time. Win-win situation ?

"I think yes." Miss Golds said to herself. She looked outside. The bastards on clouds were searching everywhere but there was no sign of Daisy. The knocked over some things, which people put back up immediately, and eventually came into Miss Golds' hut, the last one to search. She stood in front of the fire, cooking the food.

"What is that?" the Lakitu from before asked.

"It's wolf meat. What we survive on sometimes thanks to you. It's a delicacy here. Do you want some?"

"That's alright…" the Lakitu grimaced, though wolf meat was quite good, really. At least to these people.

"So? No sign of her? The bitch. She's probably at the finish line. Have you searched there?"

"No…but ma'am, we found her car crashed, and some footprints that mysteriously disappeared after a while. A Lakitu's cloud also said he saw to runts running around with a girl in yellow."

"I don't see those runts here. Do you?"

"None of them match the description."

"Then you should please leave."

"We are, lady. We're not sorry for your trouble."

"Yes, and I'm not sorry your cloud…" she said something inaudible but it offended the Lakitu and cloud to the very end.

"I can kill you, you know. We'll cover it up."

"Then again, I'm not a major character. What good would killing me do? What do you think I'm the mother to any of those kids. A woman like me? Shouldn't I be more settled and discrete."

"Yes."

"Well?"

"Well ma'am…you're a bitch."

"Well sir, I'm not the one riding on top of a smiling horny-looking cloud!" Estelle Golds yelled as she slammed the door on the leaving Lakitu. Wow. That was the best double-meaning she thought of yet.

Once the Lakitu all left, Tahjra and Redsia came back up with the other two men. Miss Golds easily sutured the wounds even though she claimed she wasn't good at it. She was excellent, and now the princess only had some bandages worn on the legs a shoulder, and the waist. Not bad at all. They let Daisy rest on some wolf fur, and she awoke hours later.

She found some soup and a silver spoon next to her. Her castle? No, she was inside something dark, lit by a fire. It was snowing out. Miss Golds entered the room.

"Princess Daisy, correct?"

"Ye-Yes. Thank you for the food. It's good." she wasn't lying. Wolf meat really did taste good!

"I have a question to ask of you."

"Me too. Where am I?"

"This is our village. You know Tahjra and Redsia?" Daisy nodded. Estelle continued, "They live here."

"Are you their mother?"

"Oh no, I'm only Tahjra's. But anyways, did they try to help you or hurt you?"

"They tried to help me. And they did. And in return, well…I have a plan…"

Daisy began to whisper into Miss Golds' ear, and the woman nodded and smiled.

A/N: Well that's it for this chapter. What will Daisy's plan be? What about this village? What is it like? What about I can't Believe it's not Butter? What IS it? Find all this out except the last two next time in Mario Kart Crisis: Chapter 5! Read on. R&R too while you're at it.
