OK, there are a few reasons who this chapter came REALLY late.
1. I wanted to post this earlier but for some reason, I felt scared . . . about what you'd think of this.
2. I had tests for a WHOLE WEEK! At least we're getting a break until Tuesday! :D
3. I felt too weird if I posted this sooner.
4. I forgot that one :p
I forgot the disclaimer last chapter. I do NOT own the characters in the story. I DON'T own the title of this chapter. I don't even own the plot. All of it belongs to Nintendo. But I kinda own the title of the story, and the first chapter . . .
GO NINTENDO!
Yeah, if you noticed, the title of this chapter's the same with the Mario Party DS title for the introduction, if you've played it. If you haven't, this is new info to you. And this is the chapter which marks Bowser Jr.'s (minor) debut. It's not important, but just note that he MIGHT be coming unexpectedly :D. And I think I'm spoiling.
Yay! Four reviews! I LOVE you guys! *waves* Considering that it's around the fourth day (in Indonesia) after I posted the story, that's pretty good! Anyway! Enjoy this chapter!
I already answered Corny354, so I'm not repeating what I said . . .
MCGoldYoshi: Thanks for the compliment! Rosalina making an unexpected appearance? That, you'll see . . . :3 That's a pretty good suggestion, but I'll think about it. Here's the next chapter, so you'll only have to wait for the next one . . . And as for my writing being better than yours, everyone has a different writing style, and yours is just GREAT! I LOVE your story SO MUCH! :p
spatterson : Since you posted two reviews, I'm gonna split the responses into two paragraphs. . .
First review: Thank you! I appreciate what you said!
Second review: Look, bragging about your accomplishments isn't going to bring you anywhere. It just makes people realise that you're boastful and cocky or something like that. You really didn't have to say that. And I SPECIFICALLY said, in the first chapter, that this was a MARIO PARTY DS parody, and you just REALISED that RIGHT NOW?! Did you skip the A/N? I thought so. And what do you want me to do if you beat the game? Go to your house and smash your DS? OK.
1. I don't know where your house is.
2. Breaking stuff isn't exactly my cup of tea.
This is FANFICTION, not a place where you can babble about your achievements. Look, I didn't mean to be rude or anything. I just wanted to say that. Just don't be to cocky about your accomplishments next time because I guess only you care about it. Sorry . . . . but it had to be done.
ANYWAY! Thanks for reading this, people! 85 VIEWS! WOOHOO! If I'm lucky, maybe this chapter will get at least two more new reviews!
And I just checked the poll, and found that only four people voted. LIGHTEN UP, PEOPLE! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M TRYING TO UPDATE REGULARLY HERE?! Read the A/N at the bottom, even if it's WAY too long (lol), and you'll see why it's so important.

Chapter 2: Eep! We're Tiny!
"You WHAT?!" screamed Luigi.
He, Mario, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi and Toad were in front of Peach's Castle, discussing the Sky Crystal Mario had seen the day before.
"But. . . But Sky Crystals are just a MYTH!" Luigi exclaimed. "I don't believe you!"
"Oh?" Mario said. "You don't?"
Luigi shook his head so hard that his head began to hurt. "NO! I DON'T!" He shouted.
"Luigi, dear, don't make such noise, you'll disturb the birds," said Daisy, the flower-loving princess.
Mario dug his hand in his pocket, and pulled out the pink Sky Crystal.
"Why won't you look at that!" said Peach in surprise. "It matches my dress! Let me see, Mario."
Mario carefully gave Peach the Sky Crystal, and Peach examined it closely. "Oh wow . . ." she whispered softly. She turned it around. "Do you think it's a puzzle piece or something?"
"Oh! I just read this book about famous legends in the Mushroom Kingdom, and the five Sky Crystals are one of them! Legend has it that five crystals, red, green, blue, yellow and pink, – which is the one you're holding right now – will fall down to the Mushroom World after a millennium, and whoever can collect all five of them will unlock a secret treasure!" Toad enthusiastically explained.
"Did someone say 'treasure'?" came a gruff voice coming from the bushes behind them. Everyone jumped, and Yoshi stood there, picked up a rock and threw it at the bush. "Take that, Boogey Monster!" He half-shouted, half-stuttered.
"Ow! Stupid green dinosaur!" came a rather high-pitched voice, and an extremely thin man came out of the bushes along with the extremely fat man. Both had the same elf-like ears and pink nose.
"Wario?! Waluigi?!" Luigi gasped.
"What are you doing here?" asked Yoshi in a confused voice.
"WELL, we're here for the latest gossip!" Wario replied, as if it was the commonest thing in the world to catch them looking for gossip, which was. "We would have gone to the news channel and report the treasure if it wasn't for a certain clumsy, green dinosaur. . ." He glared at Yoshi, who looked unfazed.
"It's NOT the latest gossip!" said Toad. "It's a legend! There's a DIFFERENCE!"
"Bah! Whatever," said Wario, rolling his eyes.
Mario gave him a push. "Hey, this doesn't concern you, so just go and mind your own dirty business," he spat.
"I'm minding it because you're not the boss of me, you fat, lazy bum," Wario retorted, chortling at his own stupid joke.
"FAT? Look who's talking," said Mario, jabbing Wario's round belly. "You're as round as a BEACH BALL, and you're calling ME fat!"
"Fatso!"
"GARLIC-loving Fat Guy!"
"Infamously Fat Plumber!"
"Beach Ball!"
"Duck!"
"Duck?"
"HEY, you run like one!"
"Oh yeah? Well YOU run like a SLUG!"
"You did NOT just go there with me!"
"Oh brother," muttered Toad as they both began shoving each other, and it soon turned into a fist fight (sort of).
"Hey, hey, break it up! Break it up!" said Luigi, trying to pry the two from apart. Soon Toad, Yoshi and Peach were grabbing Mario's shoulders while Daisy, Waluigi and Luigi grabbed onto Wario's shoulders.
"Ready?" Daisy called.
"Yes!" everyone replied, just as loudly.
"PULL!"
And the 'tug-of-war' began. Toad, despite his small size, was surprisingly strong, and he tried his very best to pull Mario off Wario with Yoshi and Peach's help. Luigi, eager to help, did his best to pull Wario and Mario apart, despite the fact that the two didn't budge.
Yoshi was clearly getting exasperated. "OH, FOR THE LOVE OF-! LET GO ALREAD-" Suddenly the six, including Wario and Mario, fell in opposite directions, all dazed and relieved.
"-Y," Yoshi finished, rubbing his head.
Wario and Mario quickly recovered and were in a head-butting battle this time. "If YOU didn't call me fat, we would be FINE!" Wario accused.
"Oh really? YOU were the one who started this useless argument!" Mario retorted.
"WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR AN ARGUMENT!" Daisy exclaimed. Everyone fell silent.
After many, many years (not LITERALLY) of silence, a black sheet of paper with the Bowser logo fell from the sky and into Mario's hands.
Hey, chumps! I'm throwing a Big Bowser Bash to apologise for being such a big jerk. So I've got a buffet of free grub laid out for all of you.
Come 'n' get it!
Bowser
"Hmm . . ." said Mario after he had read the whole letter aloud. He glanced around at the others. "So . . . what do you think?"
"I'M GOING!" Wario yelled. "IF IT'S FREE, I'M GOING NO MATTER WHAT!" He sped down the road and tore off to Bowser's Castle with Waluigi closely following behind.
Toad glanced at the others nervously. "Shall we?"
They ran and ran to Bowser's Castle, with Wario and Waluigi only steps away from the front door, and Luigi tripped over nothing and knocked everyone over and into the castle. A long table was full of free eats that couldn't be beat. Bowser was there, grinning widely. He snapped his fingers and. . .
WOOSH!
A big and silver-grey cage trapped the crew!
"I should have KNOWN!" Mario exclaimed, grabbing the bars. "I should have KNOWN that it was another one of your tricks!"
Bowser cackled manically. "So you should have, Mario. So you should have," he said mercilessly. "But now it is too late. Now hand over the Sky Crystal! I have a few . . . . . plans. . . And they involve the Sky Crystals in order for it to succeed! GWAHAHAHA!"
"Don't give it to him, Mario!" Daisy exclaimed. "Who knows what his Master Plan is!"
"Oh, it will be a TON of fun for you. . . I mean me . . ." Bowser said menacingly.
". . . " Mario didn't know what to do! He did so badly wanted to give Bowser the Sky Crystal. On the other hand. . . It would risk the entire universe . . . and his friends. Not to mention himself. He didn't know what to do, and before he could think twice he mumbled the words no one was hoping to hear in the extreme confusion.
". . . . . . Yes."
"MARIO! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Peach exclaimed, shocked beyond words. "WE'RE GOING TO GET KILLED IF YOU GIVE IT! DON'T GIVE IT! PLEASE!"
"Don't listen to the princess. Give it to me," Bowser ordered with a growl at the princess' direction.
"NO!" Yoshi squealed. No! It couldn't be! Was. . . Was Mario. . . giving up . . . . .?
"Will you just SHUT UP already?!" Bowser exclaimed , making Yoshi whimper and cower behind Daisy. Bowser snorted before shifting all his attention onto Mario. "Well then? . . . Will you give it to me in exchange with the freedom for you and your friends? I swear by shroom and acorn and starman tree that I shall not harass you, or hurt you under any circumstances, as long as you give me the crystal."
"Don't . . . Do it . . . PLEASE . . ." Yoshi squeaked, too scared to even speak normally. He began to panic as Toad gently and comfortingly patted his back.
"DON'T DO IT!" everyone else (except for Wario) echoed at once.
"I know-"
"WHY SHOULDN'T HE?!" Wario shrieked, snatching the Sky Crystal our of Mario's hands and tossing it to Bowser without a second thought. "THERE! Now let us go you fat, mutant, lame excuse for a turtle!"
Bowser glared at Wario angrily before he spoke. ". . . . .I was planning on letting you go, but when Wario insulted me, I changed my mind," Bowser announced. Everyone glared at Wario.
"What? I wanted him to let us go," Wario justified.
"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" Mario yelled. "IF YOU HADN'T STUPIDLY ACCEPTED THE REQUEST, WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY A TRAP, AND IF YOU HADN'T CALLED HIM WHATEVER-YOU-JUST-CALLED-HIM, WE WOULDN'T BE TRAPPED HERE FOREVER! NOW WE'RE TRAPPED HERE, AND BOWSER'S FREE TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS!"
Somehow, Yoshi got over his 'silent panicking period', and got as mad as the others. "Idiot!" He muttered under his breath before shouting: "Who KNOWS what he'll do to the Sky Crystal, and more importantly: US! You're such an idiot that I think a lesson will be good for you."
"At least I don't go and scream, 'Yoshi!' like a childish, little girl, eating things that aren't even food with my long tongue, swallow them and make eggs! You're not-"
Yoshi slapped both his cheeks with such force that his hand-prints were etched on them. Then Yoshi kicked his stomach and punched his nose.
"THAT'S what you get for talking about that!" He shouted. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT, AND YOU-"
"SILENCE!" Bowser bellowed, and he got it. He pulled out a black wand with a red spiral covered in jagged edges. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH! So I'll just make this really quick. See this? This is the minimizer. You know what it does?"
"Does it make food? I'm hungry now," Wario stupidly asked.
"Wario, your stupidity always amuses me," said Bowser. Yoshi slapped Wario even harder.
"Here's what it does." Bowser pointed the strange staff at the crew. A blinding beam of light shot them, too fast to dodge, and in a flash, they bodies began to shrink. They turned smaller and smaller until . . . . . .
. . .
They were the size of chess pieces, no more than only a few inches tall.
"GWAHAHA! The Sky Crystal is MINE!" Bowser cackled, followed by his son, Bowser Jr. He, too began to laugh. They intently stared into the familiarly blinding glow. "Now let's go and find the rest of the Sky Crystals and unleash my plan!"
"Sure thing, Pops!" Bowser Jr. eagerly replied, jumping up and down with excitement.
"KAMMY! I'M DONE WITH THESE PEEWEES! GIVE 'EM THE BOOT!" Bowser demanded. A old, female magikoopa wearing a purple robe approached the cage, grinned, and waved her wand. The crew was stuffed in a small sack. Then Kammy waved her want again and the bag was thrown out the window, out of the castle and somewhere far, far away. . . And into a new adventure.
Did you like that? I know Yoshi doesn't talk much right now, since there isn't much he's supposed to talk about, but I gave him as many lines as possible and added a scene where Wario and Yoshi are in. The one when Yoshi punched his nose. LOL. And Wario got beaten up for talking about 'stuff'.
In this story, I portray Wario as a stupid idiot who kinda grew under a rock. In my school stories (EXP: Shroom Hill), Wario's the class prankster. And Yoshi can talk. *gasp* Nah, just joking. Actually, in all stories I write, Yoshi can speak English. And in the school stories, he's the daredevil or something. Not that it's important, I just wanted to add that.
Oh yeah! I realised something: Bowser already sent Kamek to the Library, so I couldn't put him to send Mario and his crew out. Sorry 'bout that! I just realised when I was writing the end of the chapter. In the game, what Bowser said was: "Kamek! I'm done with these peewees! Give 'em the boot!" But since Kamek already left for the library, and it would be unreasonable to put him there again, I decided to use Kammy. And in case you don't know, Kammy is the old magikoopa in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door before she was replaced by Kamek in Paper Mario: Sticker Star and nobody in Super Paper Mario. Look up 'Kammy Koopa', and click on the first link you see if you're curious.
Fun fact: Before I used Kammy it was supposed to be Jerry, the magikoopa in Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. But since he's just a minor character, I chose Kammy over him. Besides, EVERYONE who plays Paper Mario or Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will know Kammy!
ANYWAY, I have something IMPORTANT to say! Or. . . write. . . you get the idea. If you want the rest of the story done, you'll have to answer the poll in my profile! Until I get enough people to answer the poll I'm not touching this story! It's important!
You want me to spill the beans? Fine. . .
In the poll, the character with the most votes will be the main character if this story. For example: Yoshi has the most votes, so Yoshi will be the main character from this point forward or something like that. It's like the REAL story, except the character you voted for MIGHT be the main character. Right now, the only vote I have belongs to Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi and Peach, which for me is . . . wow. Just, wow. I would choose one of them, and I'd pick Yoshi, obviously, but I want to hear people's opinions and stuff like that, so ya, I'm trying to be fair. Whichever character gets the most votes will be the main character of this story! AKA the one who always becomes the Superstar. Because in Mario Party DS, if a computer wins, you have to do the entire board all over again because the computer can't beat it (stupid com). GO TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND CLICK THE LINK TO MY PROFILE NOW! ANSWER THE POLL, PLEASE!
So, that's that. Until I get enough choices I'm not touching this story! And that's final! Good luck with that till then! I need at least 10 votes, and MAYBE I'll update this again! If there's a tie, I'll vote myself.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you, but in the last chapter there was a reference to one of the many stories in the Mario section of Fanfiction! See if you can find it!
One more thing . . . How did this story get into the community 'There Ain't No Party Like a Mario Party!'? I swear, I did NOT put ANYTHING in there and I NEVER thought this would get into a community . . . That's like. . . wow . . .
And please review it so I know who's reading this. Until the next chapter (which might take a REALLY LONG, unlike this one)!
