CHAPTER 3: AMBUSHED

"Hey guys!" Peach yelled, walking inside the mansion. "Shhh!" Daisy immediately shushed as Peach sat down next to Mario on the couch. "Sorry!" Peach whispered. Daisy held Saphire in her arms like a baby, waiting for her to wake up. Luigi was in his kitchen getting everyone something to drink. Daisy looked up at the clock & sighed heavily. "It's only 8:25." Peach said, looking over at her cousin. A few minutes later Saphire started waking up from her from her 7 hour slumber. "D-D-Daisy." The little girl said, looking up at her older cousin. Luigi walks back into the room carrying a tray with glass cups & a blue sippy cup. "Thank you Luigi." Saphire said, taking the blue sippy cup off the tray. "Mario, can you call her dad to let him know his daughter is ok?" Daisy asked, taking a sip of pink lemonade from her cup. Mario pulled his phone out & dialed Chris's phone number. "IS MY SWEET LITTLE DAUGHTER OK!" Chris shouted into the phone. "Yes." Mario said, back into the phone. "Let me talk to her!" He yelled into the phone. Mario handed Saphire the cell phone. "Hi daddy!" Saphire greeted. "Sweet heart, are you ok?" Chris asked his daughter. "Yeah. Please don't worry about me daddy!" Saphire exclaimed. "I want you to stay very close to Daisy, Peach, & the Mario Bros." Chris said, before hanging up.

"I think I'm going to wait til it gets dark again before I make my move." Melissa said to herself as she climbed the tree. "I just can't wait to destroy Princess Saphire. This will teach her father to talk about her." The evil witch said, pulling out her binoculars to spy on the Marios & the girls. "I think I'm going to have my two daughters help me." Melissa said, dialing her two teenagers phone numbers. "Mandy, Sally, I need you to meet me at Luigi's Mansion ASAP!" The evil lady ordered, looking through the binoculars. Then she hung up the cell phone & continued to watch Saphire's every move.

It was already night time out & the others except Daisy & Saphire were in bed. Daisy sat on the couch looking at her slumber party pictures. Saphire sat at the window looking up at the night sky. "I miss my mommy." The 5 year old girl said, looking down at the picture of her mom & her. "I know you miss her." Daisy said, walkig over next to Saphire. "Can I ask you a question Saphire?" The flower princess asked. "I don't care." Saphire said, sighing. "What was your mother's name?" Daisy asked, looking down at the picture. "Her name was Queen Misty, she was only 25 years old." Saphire said, looking up at the moon. "I hate that Melissa, person!" The 5 year old princess shouted out in anger. "I know it's been a month since that horrible witch murdered her, but you have to move on." Daisy said, placing her hand on Saphire's sholder. "NO! I WON'T MOVE ON!" Saphire screamed & she took off running up the stairs to her room. "SAPHIRE WAIT!" Daisy shouted, running up the stairs after her. When Daisy got upstairs, Saphire was laying on her bed crying. "Saphire, I'm sorry, just for get what I said about moving on." The flower princess said, walking over to her little cousin. "I'm sorry too, I just can't forget my mommy. I just can't let her go." Saphire said, sitting up on her bed. Daisy stripped her little cousin out of her clothes & dressed Saphire in her pure blue nightgown. "I'll be right back." Daisy said, rushing out of the room. Moments later Daisy came back in the room in her orange nightgown. Saphire & Daisy laid down in the bed facing each other. "You don't have to sleep in here with me." Saphire said, hugging Mr. Bunny. "I'm going to stay here incase that horrible witch, Melissa finds you & breaks in. Then she would have to get through me before she can get to you." Daisy said, yawning. "Night Daisy." Saphire yawned as she snuggled up to her cousin. "Night Saphire." Daisy said, wrapping her arm around the 5 year old girl.

Outside Luigi's Mansion, Melissa was waiting for her two teenage daughters. "What took you two so long?" Melissa shouted, climbing down from the tree. "Nothing mother!" Mandy exclaimed, rolling her eyes. "Here are my plans, ok. We break in through the front door. You two go upstairs & kidnap the little princess." Melissa instucted. "What if some one else is in her room?" Sally asked. "Grab her too." The evil witch said. "I'm going to keep watch." Melissa said. Both teens nodded & the ran over to the mansion door. Mandy who is some what stronger than Daisy, kicked the door down. Sally & Mandy tip toed up the stairs. "This must be the brats room." Sally whispered. Mandy nodded & opened the door. "Where's the alcohol?" Mandy asked. "Right here." Sally said, handing the bottle to her older sister. The older daughter poured some of the alcohol onto the rag. "Sal, get the little girl." Mandy whispered. When Sally barely moved Saphire, Daisy woke up. "Hey! Get away from her you..." Daisy was cut of as Mandy put the rag with the alcohol to her face. Saphire woke up in the arms of Sally. "Huh? HEY LET GOT OF ME!" Saphire screamed, struggling. Daisy stopped struggling & fell limp in Mandy's arms. "LUIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" The 5 year old screamed. Luigi sat up in his bed about to get up when he heard Saphire's cry for help again. The little girl struggled free from Sally's grip & ran out of her room. Saphire ran into Luigi crying for help. "Daisy's in trouble!" The little 5 year old cried, hugging Luigi around the waist. Suddenly a loud crashing sound came from Saphire's room. "Saphire go wake Mario & Peach up, now!" Luigi ordered, running towards the crashing sound. "MARIOOOO!" Saphire screamed, slamming the door opened. "What is it kid?" Mario sat up rubbing his eyes. "Daisy's in trouble!" Saphire shouted, waking up Peach. "What's going on?" Peach yawned, sitting up from the other bed. "Let's go help Daisy!" Mario shouted, running out the door.

Luigi entered Saphire's bedroom & saw nothing but broken glass on the floor. "DAISY!" The plumber in green screamed. Mario & the other two princesses ran inside the bedroom. "Melissa's two teenagers took Daisy!" Saphire screamed. "Hey, what's this?" The little girl asked, picking up the piece of paper on the bed. Luigi took the piece of paper from Saphire & began to read it. "If you want to see your lovely flower princess again bring me that cry baby Princess Saphire to me." He read aloud. "What are we gonna do Mario?" Peach asked, looking over at Mario. "We'll figure that out when the time comes." Luigi said. Mario picked Saphire up & the four of them set off to save Daisy.
