As Brighton laid out the newsletter, Peach was surprisingly the first to get one. She read the usual articles she saw on Brighton's computer, but the one he changed was even worse then his convincing one about her obsession with pregnancy, it was about Daisy. Daisy was apparently Peach's hot competition to her heavily protected title of 'Head Cheerleader'. Even though Peach was slightly infuriated by this plan, she kept content; knowing her dazzling looks and skill will prevail over hers any day. In fact the person most affected by this was astonishingly Luigi. He has known Daisy long enough to know that she wouldn't actually think of trying out for cheerleading, and he knows how much Peach is protective over the title, cheerleaders don't even try to audition for Head Cheerleader because they are too scared of Peach. If Daisy tried out for Head Cheerleader, Peach would slaughter her. Luigi decided to take Daisy to the MK High stadium, with the sign spray painted as 'Pork-Gritz Cathedral' by 100 percent hog fat Wario.

"Um… you know why I brought you here right?" Luigi said to Daisy in the Stadium, looking at the 5 team players on the pitch, practicing their soccer on the pitch.

"It's about this whole 'Cheerleading' thing isn't it?" Daisy said, concerned

"Yeah, that, I don't want you to try out" Luigi said, telling it un-naturally straight

"Don't worry, I wasn't going to try out anyway" Daisy said, looking at the field

The soccer team was the same as last season: Mario, Waluigi, Toad, Brighton and Kritter

"Oh good, just in case you thought about it twice…" Luigi said looking at Daisy

"I am sure I won't try out, you need to be… rather dumb" Daisy laughed, but her eyes still fixed on the pitch

"Hah!" Luigi laughed at the remark "Well, what about the attention and the praise"

"I am no girl who wants that stuff to be honest, but then again, I am partial to the game itself…" Daisy's eyes were fixed on the ball, as it was passed to Waluigi who passed it straight to Toad, her eyes remained on Waluigi "…and the people that play it"

Luigi saw her gaze into the field; it was the same gaze as at her party when she took the 'Love Mint'. He had to distract her.

"Well, I am going back home, wanna come?" Luigi said, leaving his seat

"You go on ahead, I'll follow" Daisy stayed in her same position she had as Luigi left the stadium and headed home.

As soon as Mario was home, Luigi was at home on his computer in his room.

"Hey, I saw you at the ground today, Daisy make you come?" Mario said with a towel round his neck

"Actually, I made Daisy come… but I know that she likes soccer boys now" Luigi sighed, not staring away from his computer

"Hmm, you know how much I have wanted you to be on the team, and I am the captain now, so with enough training you'll be in it in no time" Mario cheerfully mentioned

"Well, I dunno… I haven't played soccer in years" Luigi again refraining from turning his head from the computer

"I can teach you how, you don't need to be sat at the computer all your life now" Mario said quite caringly for a brother

"My life is virtual nowadays" Luigi groaned

"Well, get off whatever your on nowadays and come train with us next week. Toad's going off on a trip tomorrow for a week so we will need a 5th man for training" Mario said, walking away "You can play alongside Waluigi in midfield"

Luigi's ears perked up and his turned his computer chair. Waluigi. That was where Daisy was looking at, of course!

"Let's do this"

"That's a my bro!" Mario almost ran and hugged Luigi, but he just patted his back

It was a few days before Mario AND Luigi were faced with problems. The 1st Match was originally when Toad was to return from his trip. Now, Luigi has to replace Toad. Mario could risk using his brother who hasn't played since childhood, or concede the match and have to bring an un-experienced team into the championship because the match was a pre-season.

Luigi however, had seen Waluigi and Daisy laughing and holding hands at break, with Waluigi's rumoured-to-be ex-girlfriend Twila staying at home because of 'Stress Related Illness'. Luigi put the pieces together and the pieces he had put together put pieces to his heart. Luigi couldn't play. Mario had to forfeit and they had to play in championship against a more match-fit team. Promotion to the Strikers League looked bleak…
