"You're making me go live with mother?" seventeen year old princess Daisy asked in shock and a little bit of disgust to her father the mushroom king. He didn't say anything for he knew if he did, Daisy would surely start to cry and maybe even resent his reasoning.
But instead Daisy asked the very question that he wished she wouldn't, and that was, "Why? Is it because of Bowser and my friendship?"
This was an insane reason because Bowser and Daisy's friendship was the base of the peace treaty between the two kingdoms. But that was the reason the king wanted to send Daisy to live with her mother.
"I am very sorry my daughter. But you didn't really think I would let you be friends with that Koopa did you?"
Daisy's bright green eyes were now filled with tears and her creamy white skin was now a light shade of red, she was mad! She had every right to be too, her father was sending her away because of the best friend she had in the world. She had to tell Bowser the sad news, not before she said to the king, "See, this is why my mum and Peach's mum left. You are so mean to everyone you come into contact with."
Leaving the king standing there speechless, Daisy ran out of the large thrown room, pushing passed Peach, up the stair case and to her large bedroom at the top of the stairs where she threw herself across her white and orange covered bed and cried her eyes out.
Peach heard Daisy's cries, went up to her room, and knocked on the door, "Daisy, it's Peach. Can I come in?"
Daisy really did not intend to speak to Peach because she didn't like the friendship between her and Bowser. But Daisy knew there was no sense saying no to her, so she said from her bed, "Yeah go ahead."
The large wooden doors creaked open and there stood Peach, "What's wrong Daisy?" Peach asked as she set herself on the bed beside Daisy.
Daisy sat up on her knees before she told her the story of what their father was doing.
After Peach heard the story, she made Daisy even more upset by saying she wasn't surprised.
"What? How could you say that?" daisy asked the pink princess in disgust.
"Daisy, you are a princess! And Bowser's a koopa. You're beautiful and he's not. Those two things should never go together even if you are just friends."
Daisy knew that Peach resented the relationship she had with the koopa, but she didn't think it was this much.
"What did Bowser ever do to you?" Daisy asked as she wiped the remainder of her tears away from her now red face.
"Nothing! But I knew what his people have done to ours for centuries and it's just not right." Peach said as she tucked daisy's auburn hair behind her ear and away from her face.
Daisy didn't wan to hear Peach just sit there and talk trash about Bowser, but she also didn't want to cause a fight, so she just said, "Thanks Peach. But if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to be alone."
Peach nodded and did what her sister asked.
Daisy just flopped back on her bed and cried some more, while thinking, "Uhh, the nerve of her! Bowser is my best friend! It's not my fault we get along so well!"
The next hardest thing Daisy had to do was tell Bowser the sad news. But the bad thing was the next time she would be seeing Bowser would be at the ball celebrating the ten years of peace between the two countries.
Her father wouldn't send her away before then, would he? Daisy hoped not because she was in charge of the whole thing. It would look pretty silly if the hostess was not there.
And luckily, her father did not send her away before the ball. So Daisy managed to see the beautiful attire everyone was dressed in.
The long flowing ball gowns, the glittering jewels and the handsome koopa prince himself.
Daisy was sitting at the front of the ball room, where she and Peach waited to greet the visitors. When it was Bowser's turn to greet the princesses, he immediately felt foolish for wearing the black suit that covered his yellow skin and red shell because this meant he had to be civilized and not the animal he usually was when he and Daisy were together.
But that seemed to all go away when he kissed Daisy's white glove covered hand and she said, "Prince Bowser, you look very handsome this evening!"
Peach saw what was happening between her sister and the animal and she knew if it continued like this, Daisy would never be able to break it off with him.
"Daisy, why don't you take Bowser on to the balcony so you two can talk?"
Talk? Why would Daisy want to talk to me? Bowser thought as Daisy agreed with Peach and they were walking out on to the balcony.
The night sky was a beautiful black sky with the beautiful glimmer of the picturesque stars.
To Bowser, the stars reminded him of Daisy's eyes when they were full of light everytime they got together. Every time her green eyes were like that, except for right now.
That's how Bowser know there was something wrong with Daisy, she just looked sad.
"what's wrong Daisy?" he asked as Daisy leaned against the balcony railing with her back facing him.
"My father's sending me away Bowser!"
"What?" the large koopa gasped, "The agreement our father's have depend on us being friends."
Did Bowser just want to be her friend because of the agreement? That's just about as bad as only being friends with someone just because your parents pay them. That's what Daisy thought when Bowser said that and of course, Daisy was not a reasonable girl like Peach was when she got hurt, her temper flared, "What's that supposed to mean? Were you only friends with me because of the agreement?" didn't you know I actually loved you? Is what she really wanted to know.
Bowser knew how bad that sounded and he wanted to explain himself but he didn't have a chance to, because Daisy brought up all of the play dates they had had since she was eight and then that time by the river that he saved her life after she almost drown, "So you were just doing what your father told you huh? Just like now right? That's the only reason why you're here?"
Peach was watching them through the glass french doors, she had a devious smile on her face. She wanted Bowser and Daisy to fight like that so that her father and the Koopa king would call of their silly agreement because to her, Koopas and Humans had no reason to co exsist with each other. They should just stay to their separate kingdoms. And maybe, just maybe, this would be a way for her father to finally listen to her.
Bowser put his paws on the side of Daisy's arms to try to calm her down and listen to reason, "Daisy, no! You're my friend, my best friend!"
Daisy pushed Bowser's paws off of her, "Bowser, I don't want to hear it! Even if you are telling the truth, where I'm going, I'll never be able to see you again!"
Bowser's temper was almost at it's boiling point, if the mushroom king did follow through on his plan to send Daisy away, he would lose the best friend and quite possibly the girl he loved.
Bowser tucked Daisy's auburn hair behind her ear, "Daisy, is that what you want? Do you want to never see me again?"
"Bowser, it doesn't matter what I want. It's what's going to happen. I'll never be able to see you again!" Daisy explained as her eyes were once again beginning to fill with tears.
Bowser knew that Daisy doesn't usually lie about things like that, and also he knew how he felt about her. He had to tell her how he felt before she left. Maybe this was the best possible time to do so, "Okay Daisy, I understand. But you have to know something before you leave."
Daisy looked at the Koopa that which she loved, and her eyes began to glimmer and dry up from her tears, "Yes Bowser?"
Bowser took a step closer to her, so that his reptilian body was against her skin.
"Daisy I-"
But he didn't get to finish his sentence because at that very moment, the french doors opened and out came Peach. Peach knew what Bowser was going to do and she had to put a stop to it or else Daisy would never get the giant beast out of the castle.
"Is everything alright?" Peach asked.
Daisy still stood there in close proximity to Bowser's body as she lied to her sister, "Everything is fine Peach! I was just saying goodbye to Bowser. Wasn't I?" Daisy said as she looked up at Bowser.
Bowser didn't want to cause any more pain than had already been done to the little Princess, so he kissed Daisy's cheek as he always did when they departed, "Yes. Good Bye Daisy." and the large Koopa strode out passed Peach.
At that moment, Daisy wanted to so badly fall apart. But she knew if she did, she would cause a scene and considering this was a very important party, that wouldn't be a good thing.
"Are you happy now? Bowser's gone and I will be tomorrow. Seems like Princess Peach always gets what she wants!" was all Daisy managed to say to her sister before she left the balcony and the ball room to go continue packing for her move.
