It was Mid day and Mario was parading up and down in his room, contemplating about what kind of trouble he had just dived into.

"Idiot!, why didn't i just stop Daisy and tell her no?"

He suddenly stopped and folded his arms, "That's it, I'll just have to tell Daisy that I cant go with her, I just cant", he said with a worrying smile on his face.

He stormed towards the door but before he even touched the handle it swung open, and there stood Luigi in the doorway.

"Hello" said Mario anxiously pretending to be as calm as he could. Luigi walked into his room and sat on his bed, "Hey, you have a date to the dance now then?"

Mario paused for a while, and began to tap his foot whilst biting his lip and staring at the floor "yes, yes i do"

Luigi laughed "the Princess?"

Mario quickly laughed "yeah, he he. Do you have a partner yet?". Luigi hung his head in disappointment "no.. I mean a lot of people have asked me but there's no one I want to go with but Daisy"

Mario began to get edgy "oh well, I'm sure there's some one you can think of". He began to walk out the door "I have to go now, I'll see you later". Luigi just simply raised his hand, with his head still lowered in shame.

Mario quickly coursed threw the hallways with a look of determination in his eyes, until he remembered that he had left his Red cap in his room. He stopped, "oops", spun around and dashed back to his room.

He walked threw the door to see that Luigi had left and that Mario's cap was sitting safely on the bed. He walked over, picked it up, fit it snugly on his head and sighed.

He then turned to find that Daisy was standing in his Door way.

"OH Daisy, hi". Daisy smiled, "can I come in?". Mario fidgeted with the sides of his jeans, looked around his room then back at Daisy. "yeah sure, come in" he said with a forced smile on his face. "Daisy walked into his room and over to the window sill, with its White silky Curtains blowing softly in the breeze. Daisy leaned against the window pain and looked out of the window with a content look on her face.

Mario side stepped over to his door and kicked it closed.

"I just wanted to thank you for taking me to the dance, I mean I thought you were never going to ask, but I'm so glad you did, thank you". Mario looked at daisy with a feeling in him that didn't want to let her down, but he knew he had to.

"Uh, Daisy, about me asking you to the dance, I di.." before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock at the door.

Daisy smiled "I'll let you get that, I'm just going to check on my make up in your bath room bathroom" Daisy walked into the bath room.

Mario sighed and walked over to the door casually and opened it to find that Peach was waiting outside. "hello" she giggled.
Mario's eyes widened and his mouth dropped "Peach!, hi" he said with a wide, open mouthed smile. Peach smiled. "I just wanted to drop by and tell you how appreciative I am of you for taking me to the Ball". Mario shrugged and smiled "your very much welcome".

Peach Smiled at him and tried to look behind him, "Can I come in?". Mario felt panic fall over his body. "uh, um... no, sorry". Peach laughed slightly then had a serious look on her face "... why not?".

Mario Began to shrug and look around the room, Raising his eye brows and Opening and closing his mouth like a fish desperately trying to think of something to say. Then, in the bathroom that Daisy was using, the toilet was flushed.

Peach frowned with a puzzled and curious look on her face "who's in there?". Mario quickly jumped to the first thing that came to his mind ".. uh, Luigi?". Peach looked down at Mario "Luigi?". Mario nodded his head and tried to act as serious as possible "Yeah.. Yeah, Luigi was having troubles with his Bathroom so he is using... mine" he said, ending it with a smile.
Peach laughed "why would He choose to use your Toilet out of the many, many others threw out the castle?"

Mario Laughed anxiously "don't ask me, y'know, hehe that's Luigi for ya". Peach closed her eyes and laughed slightly "well just remember to make sure you look your best for the ball, I cant wait to go with you" she said with excitement. Mario Forced out a huge smile and a laugh "Okay, I will, hehe, see you on the night".

Peach smiled and waved her fingers at Him as she walked away from the door and down the corridor. Mario waved back and closed the door a soon as peach turned the corner. a few seconds later Daisy walked out of the bathroom and walked over to Mario "who was it?". Mario looked up at her "hmm?, oh it was Luigi, Listen Daisy I have to tell you something about earlier, I..".

Daisy quickly interrupted him "I know, I know, you don't have to apologize its ok"Mario looked at daisy for in the eyes with a blank face for a few seconds. "your not upset?". Daisy laughed "no, no, not at all, its not your fault" she said as she walked over to the door, opened it and stood at the doorway.

Mario closed his eyes and sighed as a smile of relief on fell upon his face. "few, well that's a relief, I was getting really worried" he chuckled.

Daisy smiled "its ok, I mean how were you suppose to know that I didn't like coconut chocolates". Mario laughed for a little while until what Daisy just said hit him "hehe... what now?". Daisy laughed "don't worry, I forgive you completely. At least, now you know what kind of chocolates to buy me" She said with a wide grin on her face.

Mario's' face quickly sunk with worry "No wait I thought..". Daisy quickly interrupted him "don't worry, no need to say sorry any more, I'll see you at the night of the ball ok", she said just as she began to walk down the corridor. Mario smiled at her Awkwardly for a few seconds until she turned the corner, his face then fell back to a troubled frown

And Just like that Mario's' problems back in his face.

Mario sighed and walked over to his bed, he sat down, took of his cap and began to fiddle with it, he was going to have to come up with a plan
