Hi guys, I am back with a brand new chapter of my story!

As usual, I do not own anything mentioned in this story, they all belong to their respective companies.

And so, without further ado, let us begin.

Please enjoy the story!

Chapter 3: Last Year's Celebration Went A Little Bit Like This

As the citizens of Mushroom Kingdom quickly scattered about, planning for the Friendship Festival which took place tomorrow, two evil villains were busy putting their plan into action.

"Tomorrow's Friendship Festival is definitely going to be one hell of a disaster!" Bowser shrieked.

The father and son were both in their castle, drafting out a plan.

"And everyone is going to wonder how the event went from such a joyous and happy one last year, to the disastrous one this year," Bowser Junior added on.

"Speaking of which, what did happen at last year's Friendship Festival anyway?" Bowser wondered.

"Oh, I know everything that took place last year dad, do you want me to tell you?" Bowser Junior said.

"Sure, but how did you know, I mean, you did not even attend the festival last year," Bowser asked.

"I read about it in blogs belonging to some of the heroes," Bowser Junior explained. "Last year's celebration went a little bit like this…"

Everyone was busy walking around Mushroom Kingdom, trying to find their gift, or if they had one.

A pink Toad ran from place to place picking up gifts and looking at the tag to see if it was hers.

"Has anybody seen my gift?!" Toadette hollered over her voice, much to anxiety and shock of everyone else.

"Wait, never mind people, I found it!" Toadette exclaimed.

Staring at the tag with labelled with her name, Toadette stared at the gift and tried to predict what she could find inside. She then ripped open the wrapping paper on the spot and realised she had gotten a…

"Holy guacamole! It's a full year subscription to every single entertainment magazine!" Toadette exclaimed in excitement.

One certain Toad took attention to that shouting and went towards her.

"You seem pretty excited about your gift," Toadsworth commented.

"I sure am, what did you get?" Toadette asked.

"Well I have not found it yet but I do know that MC Ballyhoo has gotten a pair of movie tickets to any movie he wishes to attend," Toadsworth explained.

"Well he sure must feel excited about it," Toadette said. "Now come on, let us go find your gift."

The two Toads then went about the place, trying to find Toadsworth's gift.

Elsewhere, a pink princess was walking through the streets, smiling and waving at everyone whom she met.

"It sure is nice to see everyone get to together on this lovely and joyous occasion," Peach said to herself. "I sure do hope that I w…"

"Uh, son?" Bowser asked his son, interrupting his story.

"Yeah, what is it dad?" Bowser Junior asked his father.

"Could you skip all these parts and just go straight to what gift each person received?" Bowser asked.

"Well, if you say so, but you will miss out on all of the good part," Bowser Junior responded, before continuing on with his story.

So, as mentioned before, Toadette had gotten a full-year subscription to every single entertainment magazine. The question is, what did everybody else get? Let us find out…

Mario opened up his gift, which was very small in size, and looked at the contents.

"It looks like I have gotten 4 tickets to go to Isle Delfino! This is great! Now I can invite some of my friends to go on a vacation with me as well!" Mario said cheerfully, pleased with his gift.

Luigi took a deep breath before he opened up his gift.

"Please do not be a Bob-omb," Luigi prayed.

The younger brother's gift was also about the same size as his brother's. But the content inside was incredible beyond words.

"Oh my goodness gracious! A cheque for a hundred thousand coins! Now I will be able to donate even more money for the charities I had partnered with!" Luigi exclaimed in surprise, feeling glad that someone was this generous towards him. He also felt hopeful that the money he had gotten would go to the funds of many other charities which Luigi had partnered with.

Peach carefully peeled opened the wrapping paper and looked at it for a while before immediately realizing who it was from.

"She really is a true friend," Peach commented, staring at the photo album, which had a yellow colored flower and pink colored fruit on the cover page.

After having ran all over the entire place, Daisy finally located her gift. She immediately ripped open the wrapping paper and laid her eyes on her gift.

"Well, blue is not really my favorite color, but based on the design, I am assuming that this dress must have cost a fortune, so I cannot really complain much," Daisy responded positively, thinking of when she would be able to display her brand new attire.

We now cross over to the green dinosaur who had just opened his gift.

"Twenty free coupons for any meal in Mushroom Kingdom costing lesser than twenty coins? That's great!" Yoshi said positively.

So it seems that Yoshi is quite happy with his gift, but what about on his girlfriend's side?

"This better not explode in my face when I open it," Birdo said.

Holding the gift a reasonable and safe distance away from her face, the pink dinosaur cautiously opened up her gift.

"Hmm…"How to let your boyfriend know you are the boss", "How to be the one who makes all the decisions in your group of friends", and… isn't this my journal?! You must be kidding me, I have not seen this for months since I lost it. Who could have possibly…," Birdo said before noticing the note that was inside the gift box as well. "Oh I should have known, and to think I put so much effort to get her such an amazing gift."

After scouring the entire area, Toadette and Toadsworth finally found the latter's gift.

Before the elder Toad could even react, the younger pink Toad had already ripped open the wrapping paper.

"Hey Toadsworth, check out this cool pirate outfit, you could wear it for Halloween this year!" Toadette commented.

"And it is just my size that is just great! But I do wonder who could have gotten me such a gift?" Toadsworth wondered, while examining his gift.

"Well, the only time I think you would possibly where this is during Halloween, and only one name comes to my mind whenever I think of Halloween. Actually, two names; Daisy and the other one but I do not think that Daisy gave you this; she would have given you something the size of an elephant, so this gift was given to you from the other one," Toadette told the elder Toad her speculations.

After two Toads had found their gifts, a third one was opening his gift.

"Wow, a toolbox along with a bunch of useful tools like a hammer, headlight, jackhammer, and so much more, this is great, now I can help out Mario and the gang on adventures more often!" Toad proudly responded upon realising his gift.

Another group of brothers then came together after they had gotten their gifts.

"So, what did you get you fool?" Wario asked his brother.

"A gift card for one of my favourite restaurants worth 500 coins!" Waluigi showed his brother.

"Which restaurant is it?" Wario asked.

"I will not tell you; you are definitely going to show up and ruin things for me," Waluigi explained.

"Fine, then I will not show you what I got," Wario said.

"Fine, stay that way," Waluigi argued.

"Fine, whatever you say," Wario countered.

"Fine"

"Fine"

"Fine"

"Fine"

And with that statement, Wario stormed off with his gift.

"Seriously I cannot believe that g…," Waluigi turned around whilst shaking his head. "Exactly how long have you been standing there and listening to what me and my brother have been saying Birdo?"

"Long enough," Birdo answered before walking away.
