Hi guys! My plan was to write yesterday, but I didn't feel like it in the end. But I'm writing today! I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

It was a beautiful day today in Sarasaland and everyone was having a fun time. Since some time has passed since their last go kart race, Daisy suggested that they have another one. Her friends agreed and the final race was near the Easton Kingdom. Rosalina and Pauline weren't racing today, but they were happy to watch and cheer for their friends. The racers were getting closer and closer to the finish line and everyone watched in anticipation. Then, at last, Birdo crossed the finish line, winning in first place.

"Oh my goodness! Birdo won!" Rosalina cheered, watching her friend jump up and down.

"She did it! She won all four races!" Pauline replied. She then noticed Yoshi leaving his seat and walking over to Birdo. "I guess Yoshi's going to congratulate her."

The two watched as Yoshi and Birdo talked to each other. Then, Rosalina and Pauline gasped. Yoshi got down on one knee and held a brand new diamond ring in his hand. Pauline and Rosalina looked at each other.

"Is he?" Rosalina started.

"I think he is!" Pauline replied.

They couldn't hear what was said, but they heard Birdo squeal, which made Pauline chuckle. Birdo then removed her ring and put it on her other hand so Yoshi could put the engagement ring on her. Birdo squealed once again and hugged Yoshi tightly.


Two months ago.

One evening in the Mushroom Kingdom, Yoshi was walking away from Mario and Luigi's house. The spent most of the day hanging out and watched movies together. The three friends finished eating dinner together and their movie ended, so it was time for Yoshi to head home. He walked by the different houses in Toad Town, a few humans and Toads still out. As he waved to them, Yoshi finally arrived at his house. He opened the door and walked inside, yawning.

Yoshi made his way upstairs and went to his room. He looked at the clock on his wall. It was almost nine o'clock at night.

He yawned again and said, "I should go to bed now..."

After kicking off his shoes, Yoshi got into bed. He let out another yawn as he pulled the blanket over himself. Yoshi closed his eyes and sighed, trying to fall asleep. As he lay there, Yoshi thought about all of his friends and how much fun he has with them. He smiled to himself as he thought about his girlfriend Birdo.

Mario introduced Birdo and Yoshi at one of his tennis games. The two immediately hit it off and started dating a few months later. They really loved and cared about each other so much. Birdo thought Yoshi was really kind, and Yoshi thought Birdo was beautiful and never judged her. As he thought about her, another thought came to his mind.

"What if we were married?"

Yoshi chuckled to himself, his cheeks now slightly pink. Being married to Birdo would be really sweet! They've been dating for a few years now, so maybe it was finally time for them to get married!

Yoshi eventually fell asleep, knowing what he was going to do tomorrow.


Present

Yoshi and his friends were heading to Sarasaland for a go kart race. Yoshi wasn't racing this time, but was happy to cheer for his girlfriend and their other friends who were racing today. As Yoshi sat with Dry Bones and Koopa Troopa, his mind went to Birdo.

"I can do this. I can do this!"

Yoshi was pulled out of his thoughts when the first race started. Mario was in first place so far and Birdo was in sixth. Birdo got a red shell and threw it, hitting Daisy and making it to fifth place. She grabbed another item block and got three more red shells. After throwing them, Birdo made it to first place! Yoshi and the others around him cheered for her.

The first round soon ended and Birdo won in first place. Peach and Daisy congratulated her, but also said they'd try harder in the next round.


The final round was beginning to start and Yoshi rushed to his seat after getting more popcorn. He made it just in time and the Lakitu arrived to start the race. Once he did, all of the racers took off.

"Go Birdo!" Yoshi cheered.

"You can do it, Daisy!" A Shy Guy yelled.

After slipping on a banana peel and getting hit by different shells, Birdo unfortunately made it to tenth place. She grumbled, but tried to pass Wario. She grabbed an item block and smiled. She got a Bullet Bill! Grinning, Birdo used the item, knocking down Wario, Waluigi, Larry, and even Mario. Eventually, she made it to third place, making everyone cheer.

Birdo got another item block and got three banana peels. She threw them, making Mario, Luigi, and Daisy slip on them. Birdo passed them and was finally back in first place! Her heart raced as she saw the finish line up ahead.

"Alright! I'm almost there!" She thought to herself.

Birdo turned around and her eyes widened. A green shell was coming towards her. Thankfully, it hit a banana peel instead and she relaxed. When she turned back around, she grinned. Birdo was getting even closer to the finish line! She got closer and closer and then...

"Woohoo! I won!" Birdo made it and once again won in first place!

The crowd clapped and cheered for her. Yoshi ran from his seat and over to the track where Birdo was standing.

"Congratulations, Birdo! I knew you could do it!" Yoshi smiled at her.

Birdo giggled. "Thanks, Yoshi!"

After a few seconds, Yoshi spoke again. "Hey, Birdo. I have something for ya."

"Really?" Birdo looked at her boyfriend. "What is it?"

Birdo gasped as Yoshi got down on his knee and pulled out a brand new ring. Mario and a few of the other racers around them gasped and smiled.

"Oh my..." Birdo whispered.

"I've wanted to ask you this for some time now, but now I'm ready! So, Birdo, will you marry me?" Yoshi finally asked.

Birdo squealed. "Yes! Yes, of course I will!"

Birdo removed her ring and put it on her other hand. Yoshi smiled, put the engagement ring on her, and stood up. Before he could speak, Birdo squealed again and hugged Yoshi tightly as everyone else congratulated them.

Yoshi chuckled. "I love you, Birdo."

Birdo giggled, still hugging him. "I love you too, Yoshi!"


That's it for now! Next week I'll try to post another chapter along with outlining my next fanfic!
