1) It is the last day of school yes! Which also means many more updates over the break!

2) I think I am extending the story a few more chapters, we will see.

3) I have decided there will be an epilogue and perhaps alternate endings.

4) Winner of the contest was WaterlessEar! Good job, she got all the pairs except for Daryl and John who are from Hall & Oates. She will get to create her own character who will have a minor role in the last few chapters! (If this is you I will PM you the details to create your own character).

Quick recap for those who are confused: Last chapter Bowser and his boys planned revenge on Mario, while Peach asked Mario on a date. Luigi and Toad are suspicious of her true intentions, but Mario is adamant. Luigi and Toad are forced out of school, and they are scared for Mario. On a lighter note, Luigi and Daisy seem somewhat resolved. So the trio of friends are back to normal, and Luigi and Ro are broken up. WHat happens next? Stay tuned!

End of cheesy television style recap. Commence the story now.

It was exactly 4:00.

Mario had been waiting for Peach since 3:50. He hoped she would show up soon.

"Hey Marvin!" She appeared before him batting her eyelashes and giving him a flirty wave.

Mario stood awestruck. The girl he had wanted since middle school was finally his. But he would have preferred if she could say his name properly.

"Actually, my name is Mario." He stated.

She frowned. "I don't like that name very much actually. Can we call you Marshall instead. Its way hotter."

"Um..."

She glowered.

"Sounds good!" He said cheerfully. "I never liked my own name much either."

She giggled flirtatiously and ran her fingers through his hair after making her way next to him.

He went numb. He had never stood this close to Peach before.

"So...about that date?" She asked.

He nodded eagerly. "We should go get some fro-yo. Do you want to leave now?"

She bit her lip. "Um..." She started looking around.

"Not yet. We can just talk here."

Mario chuckled. "Why don't we just go to the yogurt place and talk. Believe me, I'm dying to get to know you too!"

She seemed awfully distant as she looked around before taking a seat on the bench.

She beckoned him. "No no, just listen to me. We can rest for a bit. I'm tired."

Mario shrugged as he sat down next to her. "So, have you ever played Call Of Duty?"

She blinked. "Excuse me what?"

He grinned. "Only the most amazing game ever!"

She shrugged and looked around swiftly.

"I'm not familiar with it!"

Mario felt like a giant weight crushing on his heart. His soul mate had never even heard of Call Of Duty? He supposed he would have to tell her.

"Ok, so you got a plan to get us inside with stealth?" Luigi asked his friend.

Toad shook his head. "We already tried most of the entrances. There are either teachers guarding the doors, or they're locked. I wonder how come Mario and Peach haven't been caught yet. And the football team if they're in there."

"Mario said he was meeting Peach in the courtyard." Luigi explained. "Most people don't go around there."

"Well, how do we get there?" Toad asked.

Luigi opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, they were greeted by Daisy, Rosalina, and Yoshi.

"Hey guys!" Yoshi greeted enthusiastically.

"Thanks for waiting for us." Rosalina said smiling at Luigi. "But why is Toad here?"

"Were you guys in school this whole time?" Toad asked.

The trio nodded. "We had band practice." Yoshi stated simply.

"I felt like blowing it off." Daisy said with a shrug, "But Rosie being the president and all simply couldn't miss it."

"Hey! This was an important practice."

"Like you need to practice, Mrs. President. You're the best in our class!" Yoshi replied rolling his eyes.

She chuckled. I wouldn't be the best without practice. Try it sometime. It actually works."

They continued their light bickering, but luigi paid little attention. He had an idea.

"Say, the band entrance is still opened right?"

The band kids looked at him curiously, but Toad nodded with approval.

"...and that's how I broke my pinky toe for the fourth time." Mario finished.

Peach nodded pretending to listen. She was utterly bored. Spending half an hour with the loser was too unbearable. Where was he?

She frowned as Mario began another story just as boring as the last.

"I'm leaving now." She said quickly standing up.

Mario stood quickly, his eyes widening. "Why? We haven't even gotten yogurt yet."

"I know, but this was a mistake." She turned on her heel and attempted to exit.

It was just then she spotted him. With his friends. Looking unusually angry. This was her chance.

In about the right time Mario fell on his knees and begged. "Please Peach. We can try this out just once."

First she attempted to catch his eye. He met hers with a blaze of anger. Then she turned to look at Mario.

She gave her very best fake flirty smile. "Yes baby?" She ran her fingers through his hair again, and looked for his reaction. As expected his jaw had clenched with pain.

And just for good measure, there was one way to encite the ultimate jealously.

Before Mario could comprehend, Peach's lips descended onto his, and he found himself kissing her back.

She felt like throwing up. Kissing Mario was gross, but she forced herself because she knew nothing else would make him angrier.

And right on cue, he barged in.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE KISSING MY GIRLFRIEND!" Bowser roared angrily.

Peach backed away from Mario and smirked. Her job was done. Now, he was angry.

"We should get there quickly." Luigi stated rushing his friends.

Toad nodded. "What if Bowser already got him?"

Rosalina shook in fear. "I can't believe you guys waited till now to tell me. Maybe I could have talked some sense into him."

"No one told me either!" Yoshi insisted. "And I'm his best friend!"

"There was no time!" Luigi exclaimed. "Lets just focus on saving his stupid butt!"

"I-I think we're too late!" Daisy said with a solemn expression as she rushed ahead of the rest of them and stood outside the courtyard in shock.

They joined her quickly to see Mario laying on the ground beaten up.

"Oh no!" Rosalina whispered in pain.

Yoshi pushed the door open and went inside, while the others joined him.

"Mario what happened?" Toad asked as he got to his friend.

He looked to be in extreme pain. He had a swollen lip and a black eye. His arms were badly bruised, and he could barely move his feet.

"Peach...trkd ma."

Toad scratched his head. "What?"

"Peach tricked him." Daisy translated quickly. "He can barely move his lips."

"What did she do to you Mario?" She asked in a concerned voice.

"We can ask him later." Rosalina insisted. She turned to Toad and Luigi.

"Come on guys. Let's get him home."

Ok Reason this chapter is short is because I plan on updating again tomorrow. I just want to leave you guys at another cliffhanger. Obviously you can infer what happened. But you can hear the whole story if I get up to 65 reviews by tomorrow! WaterlessEar, I will send you the details needed to make your character. Keep reviewing guys!
