Author's note! I know I should have told you earlier but these chapters aren't in a pattern. I know Daisy's supposed to be next but nothing really important is happening to her so I've skipped to Mario. Enjoy!
Chapter 4: Mario
Dear diary,
Daisy and Luigi are an item now. I'm happy for Luigi of course, but have you any idea what it's like to have your younger twin brother have a girlfriend when you don't? All I want to do is mope. Lie around in my bed being unproductive and not speak to anyone. I'm trying to accept it but I can't, the thought that I'm not good enough stings and I can't stop thinking about it.
I'm lying on my bed when my phone (which is red) bleeps, telling me I have a message. It's from Pauline, this is what it says:
Hi darling
Heard that ur single again awww shame
Still im still available if u want me
Pauline
xxx
I sighed to myself. I thought of when I was dating Pauline, how she'd cheat on me with every man (or ape) she could find. I thought of how irritatingly self-obsessed she was. I tapped out a reply.
You must be crazy if you think im desperate enough to take you back you double crossing self obsessed cheater. Just leave me alone.
Mario
A reply came almost immediately.
Ouch that was uncalled 4. Im just trying 2 help baby :)
Pauline
xx
I couldn't be bothered to reply to that. I threw my mobile across the room and buried my face in my pillow.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock at the door. I groaned. It was probably Pauline still trying to persuade me to go out with her again. She is so annoying. I didn't answer the door; I was really not in the mood. I heard Luigi opening the door and I sighed. Luigi came upstairs and entered my room. I grumbled at him to go away but he took no notice.
"There's someone here to see you, Mario," he said.
"If its Pauline, tell her I hate her," I replied grumpily.
"It's not Pauline," Luigi said.
I lifted my head out of the pillow and turned around to face him. "Is it Daisy?" I asked.
Luigi shook his head not giving anything away. "I think you should go and see what she wants," he said.
I sighed realizing that I wouldn't find out who it was unless I went down to see her. So I reached for my hat and placed it on my head. I rubbed my eyes and went downstairs.
When I entered the living room I was stunned to find Princess Peach sitting on the sofa, waiting for me.
"Peach?" I said. "What are you doing here?"
She got up. "I heard about you and Daisy breaking up," she said.
"Yeah," I said.
"I suppose you're not going out with anyone else then?" she asked.
"No," I said. I thought of my tetchy reply to Pauline's text. "I don't think I'm really interested in finding another girlfriend. Ever again." I whispered the last bit.
"Oh, that's a shame," Peach replied. "I was hoping that…" she trailed away. "Never mind."
I frowned. "Peach, what are you trying to say?"
"Well… umm," she tried to find the right words.
Peach had always been shy, it was one of the reasons I started dating her ages ago, I found it cute. I suppose I still do a bit.
"I was wondering if… if you'd like to go out with me again?" she asked.
I thought back to when we were dating. Why did I dump her? Because I wanted to go out with Pauline. Well there was no way I wanted to go out with Pauline now. I looked at Peach. Why shouldn't I date her? I still found her quite cute. She was kind and caring and selfless and polite and beautiful and amazing at making cakes. I felt like I ought to make it up to her for dumping her before.
I smiled at her. "OK," I said. "Let's give it another shot."
Her bright blue eyes lit up and she rushed forward to give me a hug.
So everything ended happily I suppose, I got over my grump with Daisy and we're good friends now (although for the record I still hate Pauline). Luigi is delighted that he's finally found someone who doesn't count him as second best. And I finally found the right woman. I guess there is such a thing as happy endings, because I've just found mine.
Dude, I swear all my endings are extremely cheesy. Oh well! Hope you enjoyed, new Fanfiction coming soon.
