"what am I going to do" he sighed, "I cant let either of the two girls down, but I cant take them both to the dance", he said as he looked down at the floor and shook his head.
Mario's moment of silence was quickly interrupted by Luigi who came strolling over to him, "Hello" he smiled". Mario raised his head with a fed up look on his face. "oh hey" he murmured. He then lowered his head back down to looking at the floor.
Luigi smiled, folded his arms and began to look around. "So, ready for your date Tomorrow?".
"which one" grumbeled Mario
Luigi looked down at him "what?".
Mario quickly raised his posture, turned and widely smiled at him, "oh nothing, uh, so do you have a date yet?". Luigi Nodded and smiled. Mario widened his eyes with interest "really who?".
Luigi put his hand on the back of his neck and began to rub it awkwardly. "well, she asked me I didn't ask her".
Mario shrugged and smiled slightly "so, tell me"
Luigi looked Mario in the eyes, paused for a second then told him, "Briella". Mario smiled and laughed a little "you mean the Mushroom with glasses?" he whispered "the one who freezes completely every time you walk within a few feet of her?"
Luigi chuckled "the very same". Mario put his hands in his pockets and lent back against the wall whilst he smiled and shook his head. "well it was either her, Sella or that guy with the moustache who keeps smiling at me" said Luigi with a stern look on his face. Mario widened his eyes and stared at Luigi "you mean you turned down Sella for Briella?".
Luigi closed his eyes and began to make hand gestures that fitted his words, "yeah, yeah I know, but I thought I'd fill Briellas wish, that she oh so desperately wants to come true. Any way its not like Sella cant get a date, you know what she's like".
Mario nodded and looked in a different direction "uh huh".
Luigi smiled and chuckled heavily, "I mean its not like i could take them both to the ball"
Mario quickly widened his eyes and stared at Luigi with one raised eyebrow, his heart began to beat slightly fast. "What makes you say that?".
Luigi laughed some more "nothing its just that, I mean, what kind of idiot would I be if I took them both y'know".
Mario, bit his lip and hesitated to reply for a while. "yes, what kind of idiot would you be?".
Luigi began to laugh some more as he turned to look at Mario. "I mean can you imagine, I'd have to juggle the two threw out the night, trying my hardest not to get caught". He closed his eyes and began to chuckle to himself, caught up in his easy-to-please sense of humour.
Mario smiled for a while, until he began to think. An idea began to slowly ease itself into his mind. He slowly pushed himself off the wall and frowned with a look of seriousness on his face, he looked up at Luigi, smiled and grabbed him.
"thank you!" he yelped as he shook the shocked Luigi around with gratitude. He then let go of him and dashed off towards his room.
Luigi turned around and watched his brother sprint off. "uh, no problem" he yelled, confused.
Mario jogged up the castle stairs as a sinister smile slowly began to grow across his face, he spun around the corner of the landing and changed to a fast paced walk as he purposely stormed to his Room. he opened His door, slipped threw it, closed it shut and leaned his body back against it as he breathed heavily with excitement.
he quickly pushed himself of the door and began walking up and down his room "yes, yes this could work".
He stopped walking up and down and promptly sat down on the side of his bed. "if-if I keep the princess's oblivious to the fact that they both have the same date, then I can get threw the night without any problems" he said as a smile washed over his face.
The smile then quickly sunk back to a frown, "wait, but every one will see me switching dates, some ones sure to mention something at some point and ruin it all!" he said in a panic. "no wait, there are two Rooms in the Hall, its huge, as long as I make sure that Peach and Daisy don't see me I'll be fine, I can make sure Peach stays in one Room, and Daisy in the other" He yelled as he stood up from his bed and punched the air with joy.
"wait". His face, again, sunk back down to a frown "what about the dance, there's no way I can..". his face then again shot back up to a smile. "no! I can Dance with them simultaneously!" he jumped up and punched the air for a second time as he laughed with glee.
the hype then calmed down as Mario regained his breath from the excitement of his new plan, "Ok, so I have a plan". He smiled and laughed to himself slightly. "its going to work, sure it is, it has to". he looked around his room briefly, then walked over to his door opened it and stood in the doorway. "hehe, fall proof" he murmured to himself. he then walked out of his room and closed the door. For tomorrow was the big night.
