This is a little late! I can't upload everyday, though. I need some free time.

A few things. First, (ooOOoo) means another point in time and/or a flashback. Second, (uuUUuu) means that there's another flashback. Another (ooOOoo) means the end of a flashback and the story is back in the normal time.

There's girl/girl in this chapter. There's no swearing this time.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, nor do I own anything Nintendo related.

The next few days were uneventful. Bowser Jr. didn't cause any trouble in the castle (except when Toadette came in to check up on him), so that was a relief. Dark Land didn't do anything either, which made Rosalina a little bit suspicious. Usually, they would plan an attack or something at this time, but nothing had occurred. Even though the shield was covering the Mushroom Kingdom, life remained normal around it. Sometimes, Rosalina would go on walks with the Koopa prince and the mushroom girl. It shocked some people, but after telling them that she was just watching him, they understood. Daisy would call almost everyday to make sure that her girlfriend was alright.

"So, Rosalina," Toadette began. The three went to a local park near Toad Town and sat on a bench. Rosalina almost didn't notice that she was talking because they were pretty much silent there.

"Yes?" Rosalina responded, acknowledging her.

"Where are the babies?"

"Oh, they returned to their original timelines once the party was over." Toadette sighed. They were annoying, but they were sweet kids. At least they didn't have to hear crying, for now.

"Also, how did you and Daisy get together?" Rosalina thought for a few moments. The mushroom girl believed that it was a personal question and tried to apologise, but the space princess stopped her with her own words.

"Ah...this is how it went. Just a few years ago."

ooOOoo

Rosalina stared at Earth. The planet seemed so beautiful from her perspective. Today was the day of the Star Festival in the Mushroom Kingdom. It was also the day when Mario had saved the universe once again. She could not thank him enough; he protected everyone, including her Lumas. She started to think. Would she leave to see this once-a-century event, or would she continue to watch her children and miss it?

"I need to stop being so over-protective. They can manage," she spoke to herself. Polari observed her. If anyone knew her very well, it was him. The Luma was like Toadsworth, in a way.

"I'm guessing you want to go to the Star Festival? Go ahead. I'll watch everyone." Rosalina brightened. One of the Launch Stars lead to it, which made things more convenient. After Polari told the rest of them that Rosalina left, the Lumas waved goodbye. She waved back before going through a green Launch Star.

Rosalina landed near the entrance of Toad Town. The two guards were surprised by her sudden appearance, but saw that she was not suspicious. There were residents outside, waiting for the event to occur. Mario must have been near Peach's castle. It was probably typical of him, considering that they were obviously a couple. As she walked through the town, she felt someone run into her. However, the force was so strong that she fell down.

"Oops! Sorry!" a voice said. Rosalina got up, dusted herself off, and turned to see the person. The person was not a Toad. They appeared more like another royal member of the Mushroom Kingdom. They wore an orange dress, and they had reddish-brown hair. A brooch on the dress suggested that they had something to do with daisies.

"May I ask, who are you?" the person asked.

"I'm Rosalina. And the same for you."

"Hi, I'm Daisy!" she responded in a higher pitch than normal. This annoyed her a little, but she brushed it off. Rosalina reached out to her in a friendly way.

"Nice to meet you." Daisy replied to her with a handshake. It hurt quite a bit. Apparently, she was physically strong. The two girls decided to walk around and get to know each other better.

After an hour of walking, Rosalina learned that Daisy was the princess of Sarasaland. Ironically, Sarasaland was in a desert region. She was also close friends with Princess Peach, Mario, and Luigi. She would visit sometimes, too. The reason why she hasn't been doing that is because of problems within her own kingdom. A funny thing that she learned was that Bowser was launched back to his kingdom after Daisy had merely slapped him a few years ago. She shuddered at her strength. She was one to be feared. Maybe that's why the Koopa king doesn't go for her.

"Bowser had tried to send the Koopalings to invade once, along with himself."

"What happened?"

"I sent them back faster than they came! Their magic was frustrating, though. It took longer than it should have. And that's the last time I've seen them enter my territory." Rosalina smiled.

"You have great physical abilities." Daisy did not expect that, so she blushed a little at the compliment.

"Aw, thanks! I could help protect the Mushroom Kingdom, if it weren't for my own problems." Suddenly, a giant bell rang. That meant it was time for the Starlight Show. It was basically like a meteor shower, except these stars were full of Star Bits. Peach and Mario were already in the center of Toad Town. The two girls made their way to the center as well. The sight was stunning. Stars twinkled in the sky, which made the mood more romantic. Fireworks exploded in the night air. Star Bits were on the ground, and they bounced around. Rosalina picked one up and put it in her mouth.

"Eww! Are you eating that?" Daisy spoke, rather disgusted by her new friend's behaviour.

"Star Bits don't get dirty, and they're a great snack," the other responded, not showing any emotion towards her. Out of curiosity, Daisy tried a red one herself. Needless to say, she instantly regretted what she had said seconds earlier. It tasted like strawberries.

"Oh! This is good!" she sang. The blonde princess smirked, but didn't say anything else. The rest of the night had went smoothly. When it was over, everyone said their goodbyes. Daisy was upset by her new friend leaving, but she knew that she had places to be.

"Hey! We should call each other! Maybe we can go shopping together one day!" The two exchanged numbers as they prepared to exit. Rosalina grinned at her sudden excitement. They would be good friends.

uuUUuu

Rosalina rode her Flame Runner down the hill of Rainbow Road. This was the first time that she was in a racing tournament. It was the annual 32-race Grand Prix, and it was also the 6th one. The race had just started, and she was already in 3rd due to a good start. Daisy was using her Mach Bike, while the other person ahead of her, Funky Kong, was using the Flame Runner as well. It's kind of weird how it's called Mario Kart, yet the majority of the racers used bikes here. The other racers were Bowser, Mario, Peach, Baby Daisy, Yoshi, Dry Bones, Toad, King Boo, and Waluigi. Bowser Jr. was rooting for his father in the audience, and the Koopalings as well.

The Luma by Rosalina's side strangely kept up with her. He wanted to race as well, so she allowed him. She had missed the first set of item boxes, along with the person behind her. Daisy and Funky Kong were neck-and-neck with each other. However, it was just friendly rivalry. They did try to backspam each other sometimes, but other than that, they were cool. Rosalina was now in 6th because of a red shell. The next set of item boxes came up, and she got a Mega Mushroom.

"I should save this," she thought to herself. Slowly, she passed the other racers and got her position back. Daisy and Funky were now way ahead of everyone, according to the little map on her bike. The latter was in 1st. Lap 2 came faster than she expected. She was catching up to the leaders now. A blue shell sped by and went to find their target. After making a turn, she had noticed that Daisy had gotten hit, while Funky barely dodged the explosion. She was now in 2nd place. Daisy had a red shell, but was holding it instead of aiming for Rosalina.

"Hey, Rosalina!" the redhead yelled. Rosalina looked behind her, expecting the red shell. It was definitely not the case.

"I've been thinking about it lately after we've grown really close! We should go out!"

"What?! Wait until the race is over, then I'll choose!" she replied. Her face was pretty heated up. The Luma saw this and had a feeling that she was sick. Rosalina quickly explained what had happened, causing the little one to giggle. As she passed through the cannon, her thoughts were now filled with the princess. Was she a little too rude? Was Daisy discouraged by her answer? These questions almost made her fall off of the track.

"Ah. Nearly lost my Mega Mushroom..." she muttered to herself. The red on her face didn't go away, much to her dismay. Suddenly, she could hear screaming and an explosion behind her. As she passed the line to Lap 3, she observed what was going on behind her. Daisy had fallen off of her bike, and would not get up. Her instincts told her to go backwards and help her, but pride told her to keep going. She chose the former, of course. When she reached Daisy behind the line, she got off of her bike.

"I sprained both of my ankles. How embarrassing," she said. Rosalina winced. She picked her up bridal style, but did not go to her Mach Bike.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" she shouted. She couldn't ride her bike, so she would've had to crawl if it wasn't for her best friend. Rosalina took her to the Flame Runner.

"Get on my back. You're finishing this race!" she stated. Daisy nodded and listened to her instructions. Once she had done so, Rosalina started to pick up speed again. Right now, they were in 7th and 8th place.

"In a surprising turn of events, Daisy has gotten on another racer's vehicle! There's no rules against this, luckily," the announcer shouted. Some of the audience booed, while others clapped wildly for Rosalina's act.

"I think you should use that item now," Daisy suggested. Rosalina waited until the next set of item boxes appeared. When she used it, both of them had grown to an even larger size. A lightning followed, reducing them to their original size.

"Bam, shock dodge," a member of the audience said. Everyone groaned in response. Because everyone else was small, the two quickly passed everyone and went to 2nd and 3rd. Funky Kong already finished the race, and was currently waiting for everyone else. After 20 seconds, Rosalina had finished the race with 2nd, and Daisy had 3rd. Her Mach Bike was near the last boost panel, the place where it was before she fell off of it. Due to the 30 second limit, the race ended with some racers not finishing.

"My ankles feel better. It was probably because of the Mega Mushroom," Daisy said. She got off of her friend's back and stood up. Rosalina got off of her bike and went up to her. She kissed her former friend softly on the lips, causing her to become a deep red.

"Does that answer your question?" the blonde princess smiled. Daisy tried to register what had just happened.

"I-I...yeah, it does," she stuttered. "Just don't do that in public..." Rosalina laughed at her now-girlfriend's flustered face.

"You look like a tomato!"

"S-shut up!"

ooOOoo

"And that's how we met, and how we got together, weirdly," Rosalina finished. Bowser Jr. had fallen asleep by the time she mentioned Mario and Peach. Toadette was listening closely and seemed fascinated.

"You girls look so cute together!" she exlaimed. Rosalina blushed a little.

"Haha, thanks."

Fun fact: Mario Kart Wii is actually Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 is Mario Kart 11. Also, I made up the Starlight Show. I know that there's a comet that launches star bits.
