Hello! Thanks again for reading more! Please enjoy and review. I now take requests for fan fictions about Mario and/or any anime.

Chapter 4

The perfect night!

"Waluigi, I'll dance with you after I see what this Masquerade Man has in store for me," Daisy said. She took Masquerade Man's hand.
"But Princess!" Waluigi said.
"Later, Waluigi!" Daisy said as her and Masquerade Man walked towards the center of the ballroom. Masquerade Man turned his head over to Waluigi and stuck his tongue out.
"Stupid Masquerade Man! He'll pay!" Waluigi thought. Waluigi stormed off. Once Daisy and Masquerade Man made it to the center, they began to dance.
"Why was such a beautiful princess dancing with THAT guy?' Masquerade Man asked.
"Because the man I wanted, never arrived," Daisy answered.
"Well, this man is even better then any man you could ever dream of," Masquerade Man said.
"I'll see about that," Daisy said. Masquerade Man just smirked. While they were dancing, Peach noticed them.
"Who IS that dancing with Daisy?" Peach asked as her and Mario danced. Mario looked over at Daisy and Masquerade man dancing.
"I don't know, but he has a cool cape," Mario said.
"I don't think Luigi would like this," Peach said.
"Why do you say that?" Mario asked.
"Don't you know that Luigi has a crush on Daisy?" Peach asked.
"Uh why do you think he has a crush on her?" Mario asked.
"I better not tell Peach about Luigi's crush. He told me to keep it a secret!" Mario thought.
"Mario, it's so noticeable that Luigi likes her! I mean just look at the way he blushes and stutters around her! And Daisy has a crush on Luigi too," Peach explained.
"SHE DOES?!" Mario shouted in shock. Everyone looked over at Mario. Mario blushed and chuckled. Mario cleared his throat.
"She does?" Mario said quietly.
"Yeah. Can't you tell? She's always messing around with him, making him blush, and laughing at that. They should just tell each other how they feel," Peach said.
Just then, Toad, Toadette, Yoshi, and Birdo came over to Mario and Peach. They stopped dancing.
"Hey, Mario? where's Luigi?" Yoshi asked.
"He's sick, so he had to stay at home," Mario answered.
"Oh poor Luigi!" Toadette said.
"Hey, who's that mysterious man dancing with Princess Daisy?" Toad asked.
"I don't know," Mario answered.
"He sure does look handsome," Birdo said. Yoshi looked over at his date.
"But uh you're more handsome than him, Yoshi!" Birdo said. Yoshi smiled and led Birdo over to dance.
"Isn't Birdo a male that just dresses and acts like a girl?" Mario asked.
"Yeah," Toad, Toadette, and Peach replied.
"So, wouldn't that make Yoshi and Birdo..," Mario started.
"Yeah so let's just leave it as that," Peach said.
(BIRDO IS IN FACT A MALE THAT DRESSES UP AS A GIRL. CHECK IT OUT ON THE MARIO WIKI PAGE. IT'S ON THE BIRDO PAGE GENDER SECTION. IT TELLS EVERYTHING. ALSO, IT SAYS BIRDO IS YOSHI'S GIRLFRIEND... OR BOYFRIEND. IT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. CHECK IT OUT TO SEE FOR YOURSELF)
"I'm going to find out who that is dancing with Princess Daisy," Mario said.
"Mario don't bother them!" Peach said. Mario gave Peach a kiss on the cheek.
"It's okay if I do. I'll be quick," Mario said. He let go of Peach's hand and walked up to the man and Daisy and cleared his throat. They stopped dancing and looked at Mario.
"May I help you, sir?" Masquerade Man asked.
"Yeah. Just WHO are you?" Mario asked.
"Why, I am Masquerade Man! Princess Daisy's true love!" Masquerade Man declared.
"True love?" Mario asked.
"Yeah. Did you not hear me the first time?" Masquerade Man asked, getting closer to Mario.
"No. It's just I'm pretty sure Daisy's true love would have such a stupid name like 'Masquerade Man,'" Mario said.
"Guys, please don't fight! It's already bad enough that Luigi couldn't be here, so please don't make anything worse. It is my birthday after all," Daisy said.
"Oh, right. Sorry, Princess," Mario said.
"Mario, I keep telling you and Luigi to call me Daisy! I have all my best friends do it," Daisy said.
"Okay! Will do, Daisy!" Mario said. He walked back to Peach and started dancing again. Masquerade Man and Daisy also started dancing again.
"Who IS this Luigi you keep talking about? Is he your boyfriend or something?" Masquerade Man asked. Daisy chuckled.
"No. He's just one of my best friends. He's really sweet and funny. I would of really liked a dance from him. I could see him blush and stutter like he always does," Daisy said with a smile.
"Well it's too bad he's sick," Masquerade Man said.
"Who told you he was sick, because I never did," Daisy said.
"Uh I uhh thought you did tell me?" Masquerade Man asked.
"Did I?" Daisy asked.
"Yeah you did, my beautiful Princess," Masquerade Man said softly. Daisy blushed.
"Then I guess I did then, didn't I?" Daisy asked with a smile and blush still on her face.
"Masquerade Man is so sweet! wait, am I starting to fall for him?" Daisy thought.
"Let's just forget about Luigi and just focus on you and me," Masquerade Man said.
"Okay, but just one more question about Luigi," Daisy said.
"Okay. And what would that be?" Masquerade Man asked.
'Are you Luigi?" Daisy asked. Masquerade Man stopped.
"Uh no. I swear I'm not and I would never lie to a beautiful Princess like yourself. And also you said he blushes and stutters. I don't," Masquerade Man said. He continued dancing with her.
"Okay, Masquerade Man," Daisy whispered in his ear.
"Then, who ARE you?" Daisy said.
"That's something you'll find out later," Masquerade answered. Daisy smiled.

Everyone danced until at ten o'clock...

Daisy stood at the top of the stairs so everyone could see here.
"Hello everyone! Thanks for coming to my birthday masquerade ball!" Daisy said. Everyone clapped and cheered.
"Now it is time to go outside so I can open my presents, enjoy some cake, and a surprise!" Daisy announced. Everyone clapped and cheered again. Everyone then started to go outside.
"Princess!" Someone said. Daisy looked only to see Masquerade Man standing in front of her.
'Yes?" Daisy asked.
"Would you like me to escort you outside?" Masquerade Man asked.
"Why, yes, That would be lovely," Daisy said. She looped arms with Masquerade Man and were the last two to exit. Everyone was around the big tables.
One filled with food and drinks, one filled with gifts, and one with a beautiful huge cake. Mario and Peach were next to the present table.
One by on, Daisy opened the guests and had her servants carry them to her room. She saved Mario's, Peach's, and Luigi's for last.
"This one is from Mario!" Daisy said. She opened it. It was home-made cookies!
"Cookies! Thanks Mario!" Daisy said. She handed it to her servant.
"Put these on my bed so I can eat these when I get up there," Daisy ordered. The servant nodded and ran off.
"This one is from Peach!" Daisy said. She opened it and it was a handmade yellow and orange bracelet. Daisy put it on.
"Thanks so much, Peach!" Daisy said. She hugged Peach. "This is the last gift and it's from Luigi," Daisy said. She opened it. Inside was a cute teddy bear and a eleven daisies... and half of the stem of one that looked cut. "Oh! Luigi! I wish you were here!" Daisy said. She hugged the bear and smelled the daisies.
"Princess, here's my present to you," Masquerade Man said. He pulled a daisy out from behind his back. It looked like the stem was cut.
"Thanks, Masquerade Man," Daisy said. She gave him a kiss on the cheek. Masquerade Man smiled and looked at Waluigi.
All of the sudden, fireworks filled the night sky. Everyone sat down to watch. Daisy sat next to Masquerade Man and laid her head on his shoulder as they watched the fireworks.
"I love you, Princess Daisy," Masquerade Man said.
"I love you too," Daisy said.
After about five minutes, Masquerade Man was lifted into the air by someone!
"Hey!" Masquerade Man yelled.
"Waluigi! Put him down!" Daisy demanded.
"Not until everyone sees what I have to show!" Waluigi shouted.
"Huh?" Masquerade Man asked. Waluigi swiped off Masquerade Man's mask right off his face! Everyone gasped once they saw who it was.
