A/N Woo 5 reviews! Thanks so much guys! :D I'm very grateful to my new reviewers Katieisawesome and PeachFan900! Your kind words definitely inspire me to write more ^^ I'm glad people are actually enjoying my work, it sounds so stupid to me when I put it on paper! XD Hope you enjoy this new chap!
Rosalina let out a horrified gasp as the newcomer stretched to their full, intimidating height, towering over her already tall head. She had crashed into some sort of… monster! He had the basic structure of a plain Koopa, but had razor sharp horns, wild red hair and a heavy spiked shell to match his spiked armbands. With his huge teeth and furious snarl, his whole image screamed 'danger'. "WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO CRASH INTO ME, THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE KING BOWSER!" he screamed in her face, his spit practically splattering onto her cheek. Rosalina flinched as the majority of racers in the room turned to look at the pair. "I'm…. Ro-Rosalina, a new racer, and I'm terribly sorry! I didn't mean to cause any trouble!" she managed to say, looking very scared under the furious gaze of the Koopa King and feeling smaller by the second. "I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, AND WHERE YOU CAME FROM, FREAK! BUT YOU'VE DISRESPECTED ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AND IMPORTAN-" The King's rant was cut off by a loud "BOWSER!" He turned around, annoyed that someone dared stop him, and in mid-rant no less! When he talked, everyone should just shut up and listen. He decided to make it an official law when he took over the Mushroom Kingdom.
He opened his mouth to roar in anger, only to stop with his mouth wide open when he saw the speaker who had just arrived at the building. "PEACH!" he said happily, lovestruck by just the sight of her. Oh, his Princess was here! Even if she screamed and called him horrible names every kidnapping, he knew she loved him and that pathetic old plumber was holding her back. He was so happy to see her without that stupid Mario around! He knew the blonde-haired beauty was just waiting to leap into his burly arms of manliness, and beg him to marry her. And she was here, with him, with no stupid plumbers in sight! Of course, her cousin Ditsy or whatever her name is was also there, but she was a pale shadow next to his beloved Peach!
Rosalina was surprisingly feeling the same things as Bowser when she saw Peach arrive. Someone she actually knew! Peach was a lifesaver! Sure, the two did not have the most… developed relationship, but the Princess was a wonderful person and had many qualities Rosalina admired deeply. Peach always had this elegant but loving aura about her, that made you feel safe and accepted. Rosalina tried to imitate the pink princess many times in both personality and mannerism, but always fell short. There was just something about her that seemed so… approachable. Rosalina was stuck between distant and manic! She saw another girl next to Peach, who also seemed to be a Princess, but hardly fit the description. With her cute short shorts, bright auburn hair and a look that oozed confidence, she looked like some sort of model crossed with a sports star, not a regal royal. However, she also seemed kind in a rather tomboyish way, and Rosalina felt a bit of her social anxiety fade. Still, the way this… Bowser talked, it sounded like he was great friends with Peach! Did she like this Koopa? Rosalina thought he was barbaric, but she was hardly one to judge others when she was so terrible at interactions herself. He was probably a nice guy on the inside…. right? She turned to the pink princess, now curious about Peach's relationship with the overgrown Koopa.
Peach, however, was NOT happy to see the rude Koopa King most of the time, let alone indulging in his favorite hobby of bullying people. Yes, she did try to tolerate him the best she could, and there had been times when they had even worked side by side. But to bully Rosalina was just plain mean, and she wouldn't allow him to push her around just because she was a new face! She had found the cosmic woman to be charming and quirky, and she didn't deserve the foul treatment she was getting. "Bowser, how dare you hurt Rosalina! She is a good friend of mine and I do not appreciate you blatantly bullying her when she has just got here!" Peach said, frowning heavily at the sheepish Koopa King. Daisy, realizing who the girl in the teal dress was, also stepped forward angrily. 'If this girl is Peach's buddy, she must be alright!' Daisy thought, trusting her cousin's judgment of character. "Listen punk! This chick's going to be on our team, so you better not be making trouble with her, or you'll be answering to ME!" Daisy yelled, with much more volume and ferocity than needed, ocean blue eyes sparking in anger. She hated bullies, especially jerks like Bowser! And poor Rosalina looked about ready to faint too!
Bowser was ready to rip the flower princess apart before the new information finally entered his train of thought. "But Peach… PEACH IS ON MY TEAM RIGHT?" he panicked, sure that he would be riding with his dream woman. "Oh didn't anyone tell you?" Daisy simpered, faking distress while Peach and Rosalina laughed at the shocked face of Bowser. "Me, Peach and Rosalina are gonna kick ass and take Mario Kart Wii by storm! It doesn't matter what randoms we get in our group, cause we're unstoppable! And by the way, Mario made sure you're not going to be in our team EVER!" she yelled triumphantly, before walking back to her new group and throwing her arms around their shoulders. "C'mon girls, let's go register and then head out on the town for some food!" she cheered, and the three new best friends walked happily up the registration desk, leaving shocked racers and a devastated Bowser behind.
A/N WE WILL ACTUALLY GET INTO RACING NEXT CHAPTER! XD I'm sorry it's taking so long to get to the actual Mario Kart stuff! Anyways, reviews and much loved and see you next chapter!
