They say he's the shortest man in the world. All thought he was just an ordinary plumber. However, he wasn't. He's a plumber with multiple talents. For 31 years, he's fought the toughest enemies and rescued the innocent. In his arsenal, he carries various power-ups such as mushrooms, starmen, and fire flowers. He's most often seen in his traditional red cap, red shirt and blue overalls. He even has a big, round nose and a thick, black, bushy mustache. His original name was Jumpman, before that he had other names such as Mr. Video and Ossan.* His current name, is Mario.

This girl, was like no other. In many sports, parties and grand prix races she was unbeatable. She was born and raised in Sarasaland, a kingdom now deserted. With her tomboyish apparence, she was feared by even the toughest enemies which made her invincible. She's well reconized by her short, curly brown hair, and her yellow dress. In occasions. She wears a yellow shirt and orange sports shorts. Who is this mysterious girl? Her name, is Princess Daisy.

Mario and Daisy have been close friends ever since Tatanga was defeated. After her Kingdom collasped, Daisy took residense in the Mushroom Kingdom. One day, they recieved an invitation to compete in a (doubles-only) tennis tournament. It was for the Star Cup championship and the winner gets to take the trophy home. After reading the invitation, Mario had a determined look on his face. He then looked at Daisy.

''Daisy, do you want to be my partner?'' Mario asked. She looked at him and smiled as she nodded. ''Sure thing, let's do this!'' Daisy replied. The two shook hands and became partners. The next day, they packed their gear and headed for Isle Delfino.

Mario was excited for the tournament, however he had other issues flowing in his mind. It has been a month since he broke up with Princess Peach. Since then he's been having a huge crush on Daisy. He tried asking her out but failed to do so. Mario felt like he didn't have enough courage. At the same time, he's mad at his younger brother. Back in Brawl, with Peach's aid Luigi defeated Mario in a 2-on-1 team battle match which was helded at Final Destination. Mario felt betrayed.

Today there was a tennis tournament which takes place in Delfino Plaza. This year, the compeition was fierce. The stadium was crowed by toads, piantas, nokis and other species. So far it has been rough but during the process, various teams were eliminated. Only 2 teams remained: The Flower Players and The Waltzing Brawlers.

Before the match, Daisy walked out of the locker room and met up with Mario. ''So, this is it.'' She told him. ''We're in the finals!'' Mario nodded. ''That we are.'' He looked down and clentched his fist. ''This is my chance to get Luigi back for betraying me!!''

Daisy looked at him and sighed in disbelief. ''I can't believe Peach would betray you like that..., she'll pay for what she did'' Mario and Daisy headed for the court as it was about to begin.

The stage was set. It was Mario & Daisy vs. Luigi & Peach for the Star Cup Championship. This one was gonna be intense, like a climax in a movie. A few games later, the score was tied and Daisy was serving. Mario then thought of a cunning plan''
''Daisy, I just thought of something'' He said. ''Oh? What is it?'' she asked. Mario pointed to the side where Peach was standing. ''Use your power-shot, she won't know what hit her!''

''Great idea!'' Daisy said, then she faced her opponents. ''Well, here goes nothing!'' She raied her racket and flower pedals were surrounding it. Daisy took a step back and whacked the ball toward Peach. Peach tried to return the ball but then she fell flat on her face. What an impact! The ball passed her and landed on the corner of the court. The crowd went wild, that's all she wrote! Victory went to Mario and Daisy!!

Luigi rushed to Peach and helped her up. ''Are you ok, Princess?'' He asked. Peach looked and him and said nothing. They both walked off the court, dissapointed.

Accompanied by Toad and Toadette, Toadsworth entered the court and award the prize to the Flower Players. ''Congradulations, to the both of you'' He said. ''You earned it'' He handed over the trophy to Mario and raised it in the air as the crowd chanted their names.

''MARIO, DAISY, MARIO, DAISY, MARIO, DAISY, MARIO, DAISY!!'' The crowd chanted.

Daisy looked at Mario and hugged him. He looked at her and blushed. ''Well Mario, you did it.'' He thought to himself. ''Luigi got what he deserved!'' Then he looked at Daisy and knew what he had to do next. After the match, he brought Daisy to a private room. ''What did you want to ask me, Mario? Daisy asked.

''Well, to celebrate our glorious victory do you wanna chill with me at Gelato Beach?'' Mario asked. ''There's something important I wanted to ask you there''

Daisy smiled. ''That sounds perfect! I'll be there for noon.''

The next day, Daisy waited for Mario at the beach. She layed down on the hot sand, wearing a sexy fiery bikini and wore shades to protect her eyes from the sun's rays. Mario walked down the beach wearing red swim trunks, carrying a towel on his left arm and an ice cream cone on his right hand. He walked up to Daisy and layed his towel next to her's. ''Hey Daisy'' Mario greeted. She looked up and saw Mario. ''Hey Mario!!''

Mario noticed her hot bikini and dropped his ice cream and his jaw. ''Mamma mia, you look....sexy!!'' He blushed. Daisy giggled and blushed. ''Awww thanks'' She replied. Mario then layed down, next to Daisy and started a conversation.

All day long, they looked up at the hot sun and tanned. Then they were silent. Mario got up and stretched, then sat on his towel and looked at Daisy. ''Princess, there's something that I've been wanted to say to you ever since we first met'' Mario said. Daisy took off her shades and sat on her towel, staring at Mario. ''Oh? What's on your mind?'' She asked. The hero placed his hands on Daisy's and both blushed. ''The first time we met back in Sarasaland, I've always found you attractive. You're the prettiest girl I've ever met. He said. ''Your everything that I can think of'' Daisy looked at Mario in awe and knew what he was gonna ask her. ''What i'm trying to say is.., Princess Daisy will you go out wi-''
     
''Heck yeah, of course I'll date you!!'' Daisy responded before allowing Mario to finish. ''G-Great!'' Mario said. He felt relieved.

''Hey, you know what I've always thought about you?'' Daisy asked with a smile across her lips. ''What is it?'' Mario asked.

''You've always been the man of my dreams. Sometimes, I'd dream that you were my husband and we ruled the kingdom together'' She said, blushing. ''Not only that, but I've always found your hat soooo EPIC!!''

Mario blushed and laughed at the same time. He then took his hat off and placed it on Daisy's head. She slightly tilted it and giggled. Then they cuddled together. Mario and Daisy looked into each other's eyes and, their lips got closer. From there, they kissed deeply for 10 minutes.

Daisy wrapped her arms around Mario's neck and layed her head on his chest. ''Mario, you're the first guy to ever ask me out.'' She told him. ''I was getting the feeling that no guy would want to date me because I'm a tomboy. Not only that but you're the only guy I kissed'' Mario looked at her. ''The first time I met Peach, she only gave me a kiss on the cheek. She never really told me she loved me. There were times where Peach thinks of herself!'' He sighed and placed his hand on Daisy's cheek. Like a kitten, she mew'd and licked Mario's cheek.

Afterwards, they left the beach and stayed at Hotel Delfino. The next day, Mario brought Daisy to spend the day at Pinna Park and from there it was a bliss.

     THE END.
