Hey Everyone!! This is my first fanfic that’s ever been about a videogame. Whoo! Alrighty then, here’s what this story’s about. I love Daisy a heck of a lot. In fact if she was real, I might ask her for her hand in marriage. Anyway, in this story Peach and Daisy are invited to the Mushroom Kingdom’s annual Princess Ball, which is a big deal because only the most beautiful princesses in the world are invited to this ball! So both our favorite princesses go to the ball. But Daisy is the Bell of the Ball and Peach has the worst night of her life! Enjoy!

The Princess Ball

It was a beautiful day at the Mushroom Kingdom. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and nobody had seen or heard from Bowser and his annoying son in over a month. Everything was so peaceful, until…

“OUT OF MY WAY, OUT OF MY WAY YOU SILLY TWITS!”

Toadsworth came charging through the Kingdom running as fast as his very small legs (or just feet) could carry him. In his hand, he was carrying a pink envelope that was sealed with a heart and a yellow envelope that was sealed with a turquoise flower.

“MOVE IT, I SAY! I MUST GET THESE LETTERS TO THE PRINCESSES!” Toadsworth yelled as he ran through the Kingdom.

He ran so fast that he arrived at the castle in just two minutes.

“Good day, Master Toadsworth,” greeted the guard Toad.

“G-Good day to you as well...my dear Toad,” panted Toadsworth. “May I speak to the princesses?”

“Of course. They’re upstairs in Peach’s bedroom with Mario and Luigi.”

“Thank you, Old Chap.”

Toadsworth entered the castle and went upstairs with the pink and yellow envelopes in his hand. After a few minutes, he finally arrived at a pink, decorative door with the name “Peach” written above it in gold letters. Toadsworth knocked.

“Come in!” called a high-pitched voice from inside.

Toadsworth opened the door and went inside Peach’s bedroom. Inside, he saw Princess Peach with her long, blonde hair and pink dress, Princess Daisy with her short, red hair and yellow dress, and their plumber and carpenter boyfriends, Mario and his brother Luigi.

“Oh, hello Toadsworth,” said Peach.

“Hello, Princess Peach,” Toadsworth replied.

“How are you, Toadsworth?” asked the lovely Daisy.

“Good afternoon, Princess Daisy.”

Then Toadsworth turned to Mario and Luigi. “Ah, Master Mario. Good to see you.”

“Nice to see you too, Toadsworth,” replied Mario.

“And of course, Master Luigi. How are you?”

“I’m just fine, thank you,” said Luigi.

“What brings you here, Toadsworth?” Peach asked politely.

“Oh very big news, your highness. Very big news indeed,” replied Toadsworth. “You and Princess Daisy have each received a last-minute invitation.”

“Invitation to what?” Daisy asked.

Toadsworth handed Peach the pink envelope and Daisy the yellow envelope. Both princesses opened their envelopes, pulled out the folded papers from inside, and began reading them. The invitations read the following.

Dear your Royal Highness,

We are most pleased to inform you that you have been invited to the Mushroom Kingdom’s sixtieth annual Princess Ball. This ball will be held in approximately one week and will take place at the Palace of Princess Peach at seven p.m. We would advise you to be on time so that you may be introduced. Before the ball ends, we will introduce this year’s most fair princess. If you are lucky, it might be you.

Sincerely,

Rosalina.

“AHHHHHHH!” Both princesses were way overjoyed.

“Can you believe it Daisy?” Peach asked. “We’ve been invited to the Princess Ball!”

“I know, I can’t believe it!”

“Wait,” Mario said, “What exactly is the Princess Ball?”

“It’s a dance that every princess in the world wants to go to,” Peach said.

“Only fifteen princesses get invited every year, and this year our time has finally come,” Daisy said.

“Can you invite anyone else to come with you?” asked Luigi.

“It says right here that we can invite anybody we wish to be our dance partner,” said Peach.

“Well then,” said Mario, “Can Luigi and I be your dance partners?”

“Absolutely,” said Daisy.

“Great,” said Luigi. “We can’t wait to see what you guys will be wearing.”

Then Peach’s smile vanished. “OH NO!” she yelled.

“What’s wrong?” Daisy asked her.

“We only have one week and I have absolutely nothing to wear!” Peach began to panic. “Oh my gosh. I have to buy a dress, a tiara, a pair of gloves, shoes, jewelry, a fan, do something with my hair…”

“Peach,” Daisy said.

“WHAT?”

“Calm down. If anyone can decide what to wear in one week, it’s you.”

Peach panted slowly. “You’re right,” she said.

“Well, I’d best be going,” said Toadsworth. “Good day, all.”

“Goodbye, Toadsworth,” said all four of them at the same time.

X--X

Over the next three days, Peach had been to at least five stores trying to find the perfect dress. And at last, she found the one. A gorgeous green dress was hanging in the “On Sale” section at Koopas R Us. It was so beautiful that Peach knew she would be crowned “Most Fair Princess” if she wore it to the ball, so she bought it.

Peach went back to her castle to try on her new dress. But before she could take it out of the bag, her butler Toad opened the door.

“Princess Peach?”

“Yes?” Peach asked, anxious to try on her dress.

“Princess Daisy is here.”

“Oh. Please, bring her in,” Peach replied, returning her attention to her dress.

“Hey, Peach,” said Daisy as she entered the room.

“Hi, Daisy.” Peach didn’t look up from her bag.

“Did you get your dress yet?” Daisy continued.

“Yes, and I guarantee that it will be the best anyone there will ever…” When Peach finally looked up at Daisy, she stopped talking and her mouth dropped.

Daisy was wearing the dress she had chosen for the ball, and she looked absolutely stunning. Daisy’s dress was the exact same dress as the one Peach had just bought, but it was navy blue.

“Daisy,” Peach said, “Where did you get that dress?”

“Oh, my parents gave it to me for my birthday and I’ve been saving it for a special occasion.”

But the dress wasn’t the only thing that caught Peach’s eye. Daisy’s hair, which was usually shoulder-length, now went down to her waist and she had tied a navy blue bow in it.

“What did you do with your hair?” Peach asked.

“I got extensions for the ball. But it turned out so good I decided to keep it.”

“Well, do you have a tiara?” Peach asked.

“Yes I do,” said Daisy. “But it’s brand new and I didn’t want it to get dirty, so I won’t wear it until the ball. So let me see your dress.”

Peach sighed as she reached into her shopping bag and pulled out her dress.

“Wow," said Daisy. “It’s just like mine, but in a different color. Now we don’t have to worry about who’s is better.”

But Peach was still nervous because Daisy looked so beautiful. Her dress was beautiful, her hair was beautiful, everything about her just made Peach feel completely jealous.

“Well, I should probably get going," said Daisy. "I’ll see you at the ball.”

She left the room, leaving Peach alone.

“How am I supposed to win with Daisy as my competition?” she thought to herself.
