Yea, I took a really long time to update, I know. But I hope this chapter has enough drama for ya'll. I'm really grateful for all of you who reviewed, but it would be nice if more of you did. So, I'd like to be up to 15 reviews before I put up the next chapter! Now, I know you all are dying to know what's going to happen next so please read!
"Hey!" Yoshi said happily, as he approached his girlfriend. He gave her a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. "What was that all about?"
She blinked. Obviously, she couldn't tell him the truth. "Oh nothing." he could probably tell she was lying, but she brushed his hand off her shoulder and starting walking towards the room next to the dining area.
Yoshi frowned. It wasn't like his girlfriend to brush him off. "Come on. You can tell me about your fight. What did Peach do to make you so mad?" He asked as he followed behind her.
She ignored his question and gave him a grave look. "We need to talk."
Uh oh. He thought. Her tone did not sound too good at all. It seemed as if she was going to give him some bad news.
He nodded curtly. "Go on."
She began to speak. "Well remember 5 months ago when I asked you to go bowling with me? Well how could you forget it was our first date after all. And you got so scared, and ran off, and then when I confronted you, you were mad because you thought it was a joke, but I assured you it wasn't. But then we had a really good time, and now we've been together for a long time."
Yoshi continued to nod nervously, this was starting to sound a lot like a break-up speech.
"Well, um we had a good run didn't we?" She tried smiling at him, but he looked baffled.
"But, what happened? Are you sure you're just not mad about your fight with Peach?"
She shook her head. This has nothing to do with that. But it really has everything to do with that doesn't it?
"Look you're really sweet and all, but I'm popular and you're not. We all knew this was inevitable."
Yoshi shook his head furiously. "No, that doesn't make sense, You're the one who asked me out."
"I'm really sorry." She stated. "But the truth of the matter is that it was kind of a joke."
"WHAT?" his voice was suddenly louder and angrier than she had ever heard him.
"Shh, Calm down. Peach bet that I wouldn't be able to date you for 2 months. And I took it upon myself to prove her wrong."
"But its been 5 months!"
"I know." she said, exasperated. "Its already gone on longer than it should have. So to make this easier, we should just consider this something of the past and move on."
And before he could argue she attempted to walk away.
"You played me."
"What?" she turned to face Yoshi, whose face was now expressionless. But she could sense the pain in his eyes, it made her insides riddle with guilt.
"You played me like a fiddle. I trusted you because I thought you were different. But you're just another one of those popular clones."
That had set her off the edge. Birdo longed to be different. To set herself apart from Peach, but still be just as cool. But she couldn't screech at him like Peach would. Yoshi was right. Birdo was a monster, and she hated herself for it.
"Little witch, can't believe I ever.." Yoshi muttered as he made his way over to the snack table to see Luigi, Rosalina, and Daisy admiring the chocolate fountain.
"Remind me not to miss the party next year." Daisy squealed gleefully as she dipped a strawberry into the fountain.
"How many of those have you eaten?" Luigi asked amused.
"Mm, I don't know. But who cares really?" she giggled as she dipped more into the fountain.
"See, I told you this would be fun." Luigi said, in a I-told-you-so manner.
"We're only here for the food." Rosalina retorted. "Otherwise this party would suck. Hey Yosh, what's with you?"
He groaned. "Birdo broke up with me."
"I'm sorry man." Yoshi patted his friend on the back. "Do you know why?"
He shrugged. "She and Peach had this explosive fight and then she dumped me."
Rosalina's eyes widened. "They fought? Well, I'm sure she was just angry about that. Birdo will come to her senses."
"No. It was a bet. Dating me was just a practical joke. Something for those populars to laugh about." He buried his head in his arm. "I'm such an idiot."
"No, no you're not. Birdo is an idiot." Rosalina said firmly. "Why I'd better give that girl a piece of my mind."
"No don't make an enemy out of her. It'll just be worse." Yoshi moaned. "But thanks anyway. Mario would be no help. I went to him first but he barely noticed me. He's too busy staring at Peach."
Daisy raised an eyebrow. "Well then, maybe I should go see Mr. Mario."
He could just stare at Peach for hours. She had winked at him! Maybe she thought he was cute! There was still hope for him to have her by senior prom.
"Ow!" He felt a rush of pain at the side of his head. "Much to his surprise, it was Daisy. He hadn't even known she could smack that hard.
"Why would you do that?" He demanded. Furious with her.
"Because, your best friend just had his heart broken and you're too busy making googly eyes at Peach.
He frowned. "Wait, what?"
Daisy rolled her eyes. "See, your not even paying attention to him. Now come talk to him. He needs his best friend right now."
Mario nodded. "Hey Peach winked at me, it means I have a chance right?"
Daisy shook her head. "Mindless flirting. She did this even when we were friends. Of course it was harmless then. But now she does it when she notices desperate guys like you, who will take it too seriously. So here's a heads up. Do not get your hopes up."
"Fine."He muttered, but he thought secretly to himself that this was progress with Peach. At least she noticed him didn't she?
"Hey Yoshi, sorry about Birdo." He said looking at his glum chum.
He shrugged. "I'll get over it."
"That's the spirit! Now I think we should go to my house to play monopoly. Seeing as Daisy's had enough chocolate." She and the others turned with a worried expression to see Daisy.
"So that's whats gotten into her." Mario said. "I was freaked out when she came to me. I didn't know Daisy could be so intimidating."
Rosalina grinned. "She just needed to unleash her inner beast. She has a lot to say, just not the courage to say it."
"We should at least go see Toad, you know so he knows we were here before we leave." Luigi suggested. Rosalina nodded in agreement.
Mario shook his head. "No way, he's probably with Bowser right now."
"Oh yea." Luigi grabbed Rosalina and Daisy. "Let's dash."
"Nuh uh. We came to his party, and it would be impolite to leave without saying goodbye." Everyone was shocked to see the words coming out of Daisy's mouth.
"Wow. Chocolate makes her really hyper doesn't it." Mario muttered to Rosalina.
She smiled. "Yep. You have just met your worst nightmare."
The gang went to the dining area to see Toad surrounded by his friends: Bowser, Wario, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong. Near them stood Peach, Dixie, Birdo, and Toadette.
Daisy and Rosalina began to approach the crowd, before Rosalina caught Toadette's what-do-you-think-you're-doing expression. She smiled reassuringly at her friend, who did not look pleased at all.
"Hey Toad, we'll be leaving soon. Great party by the way!" Daisy called at him.
Toad nodded and quickly turned back to face his friends, confused at Daisy's uncharacteristic behavior.
"Remind me again, why are there losers at this party?" Bowser asked loudly, causing all the populars to laugh.
"Laugh all you want! But you're gonna be working for losers like us one day!" Daisy retorted.
Bowser turned to see her. Wasn't this the loser who usually cowered behind her friend in fear?
"Hey blondie!" He shouted at Rosalina. "Tell your little friend to remember her place in this world, will you?" He chuckled at his own lame joke.
"Lets go now please." Yoshi begged. Rosalina nodded. Maybe letting Daisy turn into a little monster wasn't such a good idea.
"Hey Yoshi! Heard you got dumped!" Wario yelled at him. Yoshi turned his head away.
"Wario shut up!" Birdo hissed. "Peach!"
Peach pretended not to notice.
"Rosie. Enjoying babysitting your little friends?" Dixie smirked, clearly eager to join the insult hurling.
"Dixie!" Now Toadette was angry. "Peach!"
Peach was still not paying attention. Or at least she was pretending not to.
"Hey! Shut up about Rosalina. You're so insecure about yourself that you need to pick on Rosie? Well guess what? She's way better than all of you!" This time Luigi had come in. He couldn't let them insult Rosalina like that!
Daisy put her arm around Luigi. "That's right idiots. And you!" she quickly pointed at Birdo.
"How dare you do what you did to Yoshi!" She screeched at her.
"Daisy, I told you to stay out of this!" Yoshi was now angry as he attempted to pull her away.
"No, she's right!" Luigi agreed. "Birdo, you don't deserve Yoshi! So its better he's rid of you anyway." Birdo looked about ready to cry. She didn't want to let go of Yoshi, but did she really have a choice.
"Come on Birdo. Let's go somewhere else." Toadette grabbed her friend's arm and led her away.
"I cannot believe you guys!" she growled at Daisy and Luigi. "I told you not to be friends with them Ro!"
"Hey!" Yoshi frowned at her. "We're not as bad as you! You're ashamed to be friends with Rosalina because Peach doesn't like her. We're better friends than you'll ever be, and you're supposed to be her best friend. Her best friend since kindergarten! What kind of friend doesn't accept other people's friends?"
Instantly Birdo looked at Peach, who was now clung to Bowser, clearly avoiding the situation.
"Oh, I forgot, Peach is like that isn't she?" Luigi sneered.
Instantly Bowser was enraged. "Don't you talk about my girl like that!"
"She's not your girl! You guys can barely stay together for a week before you decide to break up again. Peach deserves better than you!" Mario interjected.
Luigi facepalmed.
Bowser chuckled. "And you think you're better? Let me set this straight. Peach hates you. Ok, she loves me, so don't even try." He jabbed Mario in the chest with his large finger, causing him to gulp.
"At least all my friends aren't idiots like yours. And by total idiot, I mean Wario." Mario's retort had evoked a gasp from others, who were viewing the confrontation like an olympic volleyball match.
"At least my best friend isn't an AV geek." He looked confident with his retort.
From the crowd came an Ohh!
Yoshi stepped in front of Mario.
"You know what Bowser? I am an AV geek, and I'm proud of it! And maybe his best friend is an AV geek, but his best friend would never ditch him, while yours, I wouldn't be so sure about their loyalty."
"Speaking of loyalities..." Daisy managed. "Peach is the least loyal person you can trust. Just giving everyone a heads up."
Diddy Kong snorted. "We all know about your little spat Daisy. Please move on already. That was in the 7th grade."
Rosalina was surprised to see Diddy speaking. He and his friend DK usually stayed out of people's ways when they had spats.
"Diddy, this isn't your place." Donkey said patting his friend on the back.
"But he's right." Peach said, finally joining the large argument. "Move on already. Its not as if you're completely innocent either. Why don't you tell dear Rosie about how much you consider Luigi a friend?"
Daisy and Rosalina growled at her.
"Would you quit trying to turn this on someone else? Honestly making stuff up like that is really low you know. And-"
Peach chuckled threateningly. "Come on hon, don't pretend you don't see them. Even if its not serious, there's something there, and you're afraid to admit to even yourself."
Rosalina shook her head.
"You're wrong. I would never do that to Rosalina." Daisy stated. "And it doesn't matter because he'll never like me back."
"Your words say one thing, but your eyes say another." Peach replied.
"Peach you're nothing but a-"
"ENOUGH!" Daisy turned to see Toad who looked shocked. "I think its best if you guys leave like now." He said pointing to Daisy, Luigi, Rosalina, Mario, and Yoshi.
"I knew it was a mistake inviting you guys here." He muttered softly, but everyone could still hear it.
"You were right about one thing at least." Rosalina muttered. She headed out as her friends followed.
The car ride back home was silent. Daisy was no longer hyper, but she had never felt so embarrassed in her life. How would she go back to school on Monday? And she was certain that both Rosalina and Luigi knew about her feelings now. She didn't have her best friends to confide in either.
"What the heck was that guys? Couldn't you just let them leave? Honestly, its like you enjoy picking fights." Toad looked frustrated as he pressed his hand to his forehead.
"Thank You DK, for not getting involved. Its nice to know at least one of my friends is sane." Donkey Kong nodded at Toad, and gave him a sympathetic look.
Bowser shrugged. "I'll get that little dork on Monday. How dare he!"
Peach and Dixie nodded in agreement.
"Um, where are Toadette and Birdo?" Wario asked, alerting the others to their disappearance.
Peach shrugged. "The other room I think, we should leave them alone for a while."
"Oh look, now they're upset too! Why does everyone enjoy creating drama so much?" He said this in a loud enough voice for all the other partygoers to hear.
"How much do you wanna bet this will be the trending discussion topic on facebook?" Peach asked Dixie grinning.
Dixie shook her heads. "Bets cause too much trouble. Remember what happened just now?"
Peach rolled her eyes, "The little baby will get over it."
"If we're so annoying, go hang out with your loser friends." Bowser stated.
Toad frowned.
"That's right! You can't hang out with them! Then you best keep your yap shut." Bowser crossed his arms threateningly.
I so cannot wait till I'm in college. Toad thought to himself.
So guys? What did you think? Too much drama there? I'm pretty sure the story will wrap up in a couple of chapters. So, stay tuned. This was probably the most dramatic chapter. I don't think the next few will be like this. Or as dramatic as this. We'll get that Daisy/Luigi/Rosalina love triangle resolved soon, right? And will Birdo and Yoshi be endgame or not? Is Mario going to get over Peach? What will happen in school on Monday? Is Toad getting frustrated with his popular friends? If you guys want more, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! THanks Ya'll, remember, I want up till 15 for the next update. Its not too much to ask is it? Just everyone who is reading, please be reviewing!
