Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own any rights to the Mario series or any of it's characters. But my goal of becoming a game designer for Nintendo still stands.

Note: I haven't given Daisy's parents names yet, so I will fix that problem later in the story.

Meanwhile, far away in another kingdom we'd like to call Sarasaland, the very kingdom that a beautiful princess known as Daisy ruled over, Daisy herself was also preparing for the ball. She could hardly wait to see her best friend Peach again, whom she hasn't seen for almost two weeks now. She was also looking forward to seeing Mario again, and all her other friends from the Mushroom Kingdom. However, out of all the people in the Mushroom Kingdom, the one Daisy REALLY wanted to see again was Mario's younger, shyer brother, Luigi. She was in her castle in her room, standing in front of the mirror, holding up two dresses in both her hands, rapidly trying to decide which one to where to the ball.

"I don't know," said Daisy, the floral princess "I kinda like this one, but I don't want to dress too flashy."

"Daisy dear…I" said Daisy's mother.

But Daisy quickly interrupted, "Or I could where this one, but I don't think it would be gorgeous enough."

"Daisy honey, you never acted this way before. Since when have behaving like a well-mannered princess ever mattered to you?" her mother asked suspiciously. "The last time I checked, being well-mannered and delicate wasn't exactly in your dictionary."

Daisy then began to blush at that moment. "Mom, what are you trying to say?" she asked nervously.

"What I'm trying to say is I think you're doing all this so you can impress a certain someone," she said, "I think there's a very special someone in that other kingdom that you really like."

Daisy then began to blush even harder. "What? No really, I only want to dress my best for the ball, that's all mom!" she lied nervously. But then her mother gave her the "you're lying to me" look.

"Daisy, don't you think I know you better than that sweetie," her mother said slyly while laughing softly.

Daisy, knowing that she couldn't possibly hide anything from her mother, knew that she didn't have any other choice.

"OK I admit it, there is someone in that kingdom that I really like!" she shouted desperately.

"I'll bet it's that Mario guy!" a voice shouted as Daisy's father entered the room, "there's no way I'm going to permit you to dance with a plumber!"

"You're wrong dad," said Daisy, "it's not Mario."

"But he was that guy who saved you from Tatanga wasn't he?" asked Daisy's father.

"Yeah, but I never really liked Mario like that," said Daisy, "true, I didhave some feelings for him, but that was a long time ago and I knew from the very moment he left Sarasaland that our relationship would never work out. I only see him as a very good friend of mine. Besides, how would my best friend Peach react if I took the one man she truly loves away from her? She would be a nervous wreck."

"OK, well if isn't Mario, then who is it?" asked her father sternly.

"Uhhh…I don't think I should tell you that," said Daisy nervously while blushing.

"WHO IS IT!?!?" repeated Daisy's father in a shout.

"Fine I'll tell you," Daisy sighed "He's a green plumber who looks really similar to Mario, except he's taller, slimmer, has a different mustache, and he wears green. His name is Luigi."

"Hey, I've heard of this Luigi fellow," blunted Daisy mom, "they say that he's kind of a coward and he's a bit quirky, but I kinda like this fellow."

"Well I don't," boomed Daisy's father, "it's bad enough that my daughter wants to date a plumber instead of a prince. Now she wants to go to the ball with a plumber who's a complete wuss and a crybaby!"

"Aw come on dad, he isn't all that bad. I actually think he's kinda cute. And I personally think he's cuter than Mario," said Daisy while blushing and chuckling at the same time, "and despite what most people might say about him, Luigi is actually one of the bravest people I know because even though he's afraid most of the time, he shows that he's still willing to do the job he has to do despite how afraid he is. And why do I have to go to the ball with a prince? I hate when you do that. Every time I go to some stupid ball, you always try to set me up with some boring prince."

"Daisy," said her father, but her mother quickly cut him off.

"Dear, don't you think Daisy is old enough to make her own decisions now? If she wants to go to the ball with this Luigi guy, then let her. He may not be a prince, but he has a lot of heart and that's what matter the most in a guy," said Daisy's mother.

"Oh, alright," agreed Daisy's father reluctantly, "but if he lays one finger on my daughter, then I'm gonna break his teeth!"

"DAD!" exclaimed Daisy.

"Oh relax Daisy darling," he said, "I was just joking." But then he thought to himself, Or was I.

"You better get some rest Daisy," said her mother, "you don't want to be tired on your trip to the Mushroom Kingdom tomorrow."

"OK, good night Mom. Night Dad."

"Goodnight dear," they both said together.

So what do you think of this chapter? Not bad right? Please feel free to review. No insults or rude reviews are allowed. Will the ball end in the way Daisy expects it to end? And what about Luigi? Will he be able to finally reveal his true feelings to Daisy? Stay tuned for Chapter 3. Until then, enjoy.
