Alright, my turn again! ^^
And as always: Chris says that ownership with Nintendo is not possible with us; therefore, we don't own it.

Chapter 4
"Mario, are you..." She was interrupted by a series of hacking and belches coming from the bathroom. "Never mind!" Peach was overlooking from her balcony, awaiting for Mario to finish his 'one-on-one time with the toilet.' Her stomach was no where near as terrible as Mario's stomach, but she too had her fair share with the toilet - more than she would ever like to for one day.
She suddenly spotted so-called 'Chef Master Robert' and his assistant 'Tina' not so far off; they were deliberately taking off their costumes revealing to be her best friends: Luigi (who is still a really good cook – not sure about the 'master' part though) and Daisy. And look, they were smiling and waving at Peach.
Isn't that nice? :)
For Peach it was not. :(
Peach took it as a sign of competition and...what was the word? "Aw, who cares what that word is," Peach muttered. "We just have to get back at them somehow..."
"I got it Peachy," Mario cried from the bathroom. "What we need is..." Mario stopped short and promptly disappeared back into the bathroom, thus also more hacking and belches were heard. Peach frowned, Mario was a little under the weather, needless to say, and she wished she could give him a kiss to make it all better. But that would be disgusting as of now, and then she would start to hack and belch just like her boyfriend...I mean, her friend that is a guy.
"Okay," Mario breathed finally exposing himself from the bathroom, "We need someone's help. Someone devious, someone who knows how to pull pranks left and right, someone who can..."
"I get Mario. But who would fit the budget?"
Mario smiled, "I know the perfect person. But we are going to need at least fifty coins..."
Peach rubbed her head, she knew exactly who Mario was referring to. "And garlic, do not forget the garlic."
"Ha ha hoo he! Luigi, that was just awesome!"
"That was great, wasn't it," Luigi smiled.
"We should do that again," Daisy remarked.
"I do not think they would fall for the same trick twice."
"Not if we use different costumes," Daisy smiled, playfully (and lightly) punched Luigi. He put on a fake wince and Daisy gave a shocked look. "What? That actually hurt?"
"No," he said, "I was just fooling around." He then gave Daisy a returning punch (light as well). Daisy smirked and gave another punch, Luigi rubbed his shoulder again and punched Daisy again. Then, Daisy decides to push Luigi, he stumbled a bit, smirked, and he returned the favor. Daisy pushed Luigi once again and he nearly fell over.
"Hey, that one almost hurt," Luigi smirked, pushing Daisy in the process.
"Oops, well sorry," she replied, pushing Luigi back only this time using too much of her weight and actually falling with Luigi as he fell too. Luigi fell on his back and Daisy fell on top of him.
"Oh sorry Luigi, did not mean that," she said picking her head up.
"It's no problem Daisy," he said opening his eyes and looking at her straight through her eyes. "It's...was...an...accident...right?"
Daisy was half-listening to what he was saying really, she was too busy study Luigi's eyes. "Yeah...it..." She would never finish her sentence, she was still intently gazing into Luigi's eyes – trying to urge herself to move but something else was keeping her from moving. For some reason, she actually liked where she was.
Luigi, on the other hand, was nervous beyond anything he ever experienced before. He wished that he could get up, but Daisy showed no signs of moving off anytime soon; but that could also be Luigi's fault as well since he was making no effort to try to get her off of him. He would not say it to anybody, but in his point of view, he liked where he was at the moment.
"Um...Daisy," Luigi tried but losing his train-of-thought feeling Daisy's semi-slow and steady breathing.
"Yeah..." Daisy eventually mustered up. She was in a feeling of so much bliss that she could not even think so much. Unconsciously, her head started to get heavy – and for more than one reason. You see, having just staring at Luigi all day with her head up, it was starting to hurt her neck. The other reason is probably something the Luigi/Daisy fan readers get all hyped up for, she wanted to kiss him, she did not know why but she did not care either – for some reason, this person, this special person to her, just always gave her the happiest feelings ever (like she can do anything type thing: she can beat somebody up with her hands, she could beat anybody in sports, oh wait...but she can do all of that anyway ;). Luigi eventually realized that the distance between her face and his was slowly closing; and every being inside his body told him to get the heck out of this. His heart beat faster, his brain thought of the most bizarre things, his whole body was heating up rapidly and tensing up more by the minute.
And yet, Luigi did not move. It might be because Luigi has a hidden desire, a desire so powerful that is overriding Luigi's first instincts of running away and instead to sit there and bear was going to happen.
And yet again, deep down in his own little heart, Luigi was more happy than beyond anything he ever experienced before. So, despite Luigi's morals to run away the second something the is different to him, he was going to stay put this time and fall...into a...luscious kiss from the princess...
"I cannot believe you pulled me into this Mario Mario."
"Relax Peach, don't you trust me?"
She sighed, "Yes Mario, with all my heart I do, because I love you." The words escaped her mouth so quickly that all she could do was cover her mouth as if she cursed for the first time in her life. [Fortunately for her] The huge doors were opening at the same time Peach said those three powerful words to Mario, so he did not quite catch what she said unfortunately [for Mario?]. "What was that princess?"
"Oh nothing," she replied quickly, "Just telling you how much I trust you!"
Mario smiled, "I trust you a whole lot too princess." As he walked in, Peach thanked the Star Spirits for letting her dodge a bullet there (even if she wanted tell Mario that she loved him).
Up in Star Haven...
"Um Eldstar?"
"Ah Young Twink, what brings you here?"
"Well the Princess just thanked you all for allowing Mario to not hear her love confession."
All seven of the mighty Star Spirits looked at each other in confusion until the blue Star Spirit, Muskular, spoke, "There is somebody always thanking us for something we did not do." The rest of the Star Spirits and Twink all nodded in unison.
And back to Mario and Peach...
The two walked along a huge hallway, plastered with nothing but gold and gold-framed self-portraits everywhere; Mario and Peach looked at each other in somewhat disgust. Mario made a fake gag face, in which Peach giggled to.
"Well well well, who do we have here? My obnoxious cousin and his annoying, shrill girlfriend?"
"Mario is not obnoxious," Peach defended.
"She is not shrill Wario," Mario defended. Both blushed when they realized that they defended each other rather than themselves.
"Yeah yeah whatever. What do you two losers want anyway?"
Mario took a deep breath before speaking, "Okay, we need to get back at two certain people for pulling a prank on us. And well..."
A smug smile etched across Wario's face, "And you need someone who is brilliant, like me, to help with a prank." Wario twirled the end of his crazy mustache with two ends of one of his gloved fingertips, "Although, you know my services do not come cheap..."
"I know," Mario sighed, "Fifty coins and an extra bag of garlic just for you." Mario tossed Wario the two bags full of goodies, Wario inspected both bags, taking a piece of raw garlic from one of them and taking a big bite from it. "You got yourself a deal loser cousin."
"Oh whoopee," Mario rolled his eyes, Peach also rolled her eyes.
When we last left off with Luigi and Daisy, they were on the verge of a kiss...
And judging by the length so far in this story, I would say it is too early to get them to do that so I must put a confounding variable in this equation...nevermind, it looks like I am too late.
Luigi and Daisy are smooching it up. It seems to be very passionate and it also seems to be deepening by the minute. They were also doing things like really embracing each other that I cannot mention in a rated K+ story, but nothing rated M I assure you. ^^;
And now here comes the confounding variable, although way too late. "You two seriously need to get a room."
Daisy only shot up her head, ending the kiss in which made Luigi look up finally – though none of them moved from their spot. "Ugh," Daisy retorted, "What do you want now Waluigi?"
He smirked, twirling the end of his mustache with two of his gloved fingertips, "Wondering why you are just making him feel better about himself when you know that you have the better man right here."
Luigi rolled his eyes, while Daisy sighed, "Waluigi, when you will ever learn that I happen to like Luigi and not you?"
Waluigi just shrugged, "You are just in denial toots."
"What are you doing here though exactly," Luigi finally asked.
"It is a free country," Waluigi remarked, "I can go wherever I feel like." Luigi and Daisy gave him a skeptic look before he continued on, "Of course I would not be here if my kart had not broke down, so here I am to see if anyone was around to help me out and behold! I find my annoying cousin and my girlfriend here sucking face."
"She is not your girlfriend," Luigi defended.
"He is not annoying," Daisy defended, both blushing when they realized that they defended each other rather than themselves.
"Yeah whatever. Anyway, I just need a quick recharge for my kart and I know Luigi can use electricity so just help me out already and then you two can resume your sucking face."
Luigi and Daisy sighed, both finally getting up from their spot. "Okay Waluigi, I will help you."
The group of three went through the open fields until they finally came to Wario's Big Brute kart.
"Isn't this Wario's kart," Luigi asked.
"Yeah and I am burrowing it until mine is fixed. Got a problem with that loser?"
"No, just asking." Luigi's hands crackled to life with electricity, he shot a beam of concentrated thunder to the hood of the car. In a few moments, the car roared back to life.
Waluigi smirked, "I guess I should be thanking you, but it does not mean I like you."
"Yeah, I know." Waluigi gave a smug smile to Luigi and a wink to Daisy (who put on a fake gagging face).
And in this moment, Wario also made his appearance from out of nowhere. "Sup bro. And you two," he handed Luigi and Daisy a suspicious box wrapped in nice paper, thus looking like a gift present, "Here from Mario and Peach." He threw them the box, Daisy caught it, and started running the opposite way from them.
"Wait I know this is a..." The box suddenly opened and two sprigged toy hands sprung out from its contents, each holding a pie; too soon for Luigi and Daisy to react, the pies were flung into their faces. While Waluigi was laughing up a storm, Luigi and Daisy stood their with creamy pies slowly smothering down their faces. Luigi licked some of it off his face, "At least they threw vanilla cream pie – one of my favorites."
Unbeknownst to Luigi, Waluigi, and Daisy, Bomb-ombs popped their heads from the vehicle and started filing out of the kart one-by-one. In less than five seconds, the group was surrounded by at least fifty Bomb-ombs...and they were all ignited and set to blow any second; only Waluigi took notice of this after he stopped laughing (because vanilla cream pie were still covering Luigi and Daisy's eyes) and he gave a mad look, "...That loser traitor!" Then the chain reaction started: one Bomb-omb exploded, forcing the ones next to it, in which exploded the ones next to it, in which caused one heck of an explosion.
As far as Mario, Wario, and Peach could tell as they observed the other three soar through the air screaming, this was a major success. "That's what they get for messing with my breakfast!"
The group of three were literally flying until they finally landed somewhere. After inspecting themselves for any lose body parts or anything serious gone, they all noticed the blast led them straight to Princess Peach's Castle.
"That thick headed brother of mine," he growled, "He set me up!"
"I cannot believe they got us so quickly," Daisy fumed.
"It is okay toots," he smirked, "I have a plan." He pulled out some seeds and a small bag of...yeast?
"Okay first of all, what are you doing going around with seeds and random bag of yeast? Secondly, what do you have planned?"
But Waluigi only continued to smirk, "I was going somewhere with these but...I think I have a better idea with these...But first, can anyone of you open those doors?"
"I can," Luigi volunteered. He ran up to the two double doors and pushed one of them, causing the door to open widely. "Peach never locks her doors."
"Wouldn't that explain why Bowser so easily gets inside the castle then," Daisy thought out loud.
"Bowser never uses the front door," Luigi answered.
"Oh yeah!"
After they set up after about five minutes, the group heard a returning Mario, Peach, and Wario coming along. Since they could use the front door to get out, Daisy wasted no time to jump through a relatively high window, in which Luigi had to climb on top of Waluigi's shoulders to get out and then had to holster Waluigi up as he reached the window sill. The group weaved around the castle to get a better view for the soon unfolding events, not to mention where they can hear better.
"That was great Wario," Mario congratulated. "How you used pies to divert their attention from the Bomb-ombs and have them explode them to who knows where!"
"That was nothing," Wario bragged, "I could have thought of something even greater, but I was in a good mood." He took out another piece of garlic and took a big bite from it.
"But I kind of feel bad for Waluigi though," Peach said, "That was terrible for us to use him like that."
"He can take it like a man and stop acting like a wuss," Wario shrugged, while having bits of garlic fall out his mouth.
When they finally stepped into the castle, they immediately noticed that it was hot in here, really hot.
"Whew," Mario said, taking his hat off to fan himself with, "It is really hot."
"Yeah no kidding loser," Wario panted, "Why do you losers keep this place so hot?"
"We do not," Peach answered, "I guess the air conditioner is broken." Peach led the way into more of the castle as the competitive cousins followed; they did not take the fact that Peach was about to step over a conveniently placed small bag of yeast...
"I am boiling over here," Wario shouted. "You losers are trying to cook over here!"
"Wario just..." Before Mario could finish his sentence, Peach stepped on the bag. It popped and the long waiting yeast finally expanded itself to great lengths; the group was caught off guard and could only go for the ride.
As far as Luigi, Daisy, and Waluigi could tell from the yeast expanding to the outside as well, this was only part of their success. "And moment now and..." That was when the sprinklers outside came on as well.
The group that was affected by the yeast were outside as well, and Peach was not a bit happy about it. "Great, just great! Look, my castle has been kidnapped by overgrown yeast and here I am getting my hair and makeup all soaked!"
"At least I am cooled down," Wario remarked as he stretched his legs and arms and lazed over some of the yeast.
"Peach, calm down..." Mario tried.
But he got shot down by a furious Peach, "How can I calm down when my castle is in a mess and I my makeup is running off, making me look hideously ugly." Peach always used makeup for everything, whether she was staying inside the castle or especially going out of the castle.
"Peach, I promise to fix this mess and..." He took a gulp (because he was suddenly getting nervous), "You still look beautiful without your makeup."
Peach looked up, in which Mario winced and braced himself if Peach was going to flip out. But she did not, instead she asked, "Really?" Peach would not tell you anything, but Mario's opinion was above everybody else' opinion.
Mario slowly eased himself as he made a slow trek through the yeast. He grabbed the princess' gloved hand into his own and said, "Yes you do."
Peach smiled, "Thank you Mario. You always know what to say when I feel down." The two were just staring into each others' eyes, until Wario burped loudly and scratched his butt – too much information for Mario and Peach.
Mario clapped his hands together, "Okay, now that I am beyond soaking wet, I will deal with the..." Mario was interrupted by low rumbling, in which in no time, a Piranha Plant sprung from under the yeast – surprising everyone greatly. But not just one Piranha Plant startled them, two more popped out, then by threes, and then fours, until the whole castle seemed to be littered with them.
Mario, Peach, and Wario ran as fast as they could, screaming like little children. On the way out of the castle grounds, they could not have helped but notice three others in the castle grounds as well – and they were smiling and waving at them before they ran in some other direction away from them.
Mario growled, "I will get my revenge Luigi!"
"I will get for this Daisy," Peach hollered.
"You better watch your back Waluigi," Wario yelled.
Not bad, at least I think; but only you guys can tell so...
Later! ^^
