"Okay. Are you ready, Princess?", Toad asked. The two were standing outside of the Living Room of Mushroom Castle.

Lillian and Rozelia were sitting down on the soft plush couch. They haven't realized the two were near.

"I'm ready.", Daisy said and walked into the room with confidence. Along with Toad following her in.

"Daisy?", Rozelia said in surprise. Lillian turned and stood up from her seat. Walking towards her daughter.

"Daisy. I was so worried about you.", Lillian said. And glared at Toad, "And you, you were suppose to gaurd my daughter."

"Mother. Please, don't blame Toad. He did his job just fine. Its my fault.", Daisy said.

Soon, Richard and Peach walked into the room. Witnessing Daisy confronting her mother.

"Peach. You're alright.", Lillian said, "Where have you been all day? We were worried sick about you two."

"Well.....um....", Peach began, but she couldn't find the right words.

"Go ahead you two. Tell them where you've been all day.", Richard said sternly while crossing his arms.

"We....we were....um....", Daisy stuttered.

"Daisy....Peach....you can tell us.", Rozelia smiled.

"Ugh! We were with these guys! Okay?", Daisy blurted out.

"What?!", Lillian said in shock, "Have you two completely lost your minds? What if something happened to you two and we didn't know about. Peach, you're just gonna have to wait until your father comes home. And as for you young lady, as soon as we get back home in Sarasaland, you're grounded!"

"Wait! Don't blame Daisy. Its my fault.", Peach said.

"Peach...I..", Daisy began.

"No. I'm the older cousin and I'm going to take responsibility.", Peach interrupted, "I...I willingly asked Daisy to come with me. She didn't have any idea I was around this...guy...until today. She shouldn't be punished, I should. And I am so sorry that I had all of you worried. I was being inconsiderate and thinking about myself."

"Apology accepted.", Rozelia said.

"What!? You have to be joking, Rose?!", Lillian questioned.

"Goodness. The girl apologized her heart out and you still want them to be punished? Sheesh. The moxy you have.", Rozelia laughed.

"What if they were heart? That's what I'm concerned about.", Lillian said, "Richard, say something."

"Mother, Lillian has a point. What if they were hurt?", Richard asked.

"But they're not. Obviously whoever these guys these two were hanging around must've been well-mannered.", Rozelia said.

"Oh grandmother he was.", Peach cooed, "He was very generous, and kind to me."

"And so was Luigi.", Daisy added, "He was very smart, and charming. Grandmother I only wish you were to meet him. And Mario."

"Really? Is that why you almost kissed him?", Richard asked.

"Hold on. You almost what?", Lillian asked.

"Yes mom, I almost kissed him until father came along. There, I admit it.", Daisy said.

"Came at the nick of time too.", Richard added.

"Daisy, as much as I do want you to get married after your reincarnation in the next 4 years, but that is highly out of line.", Lillian said calmly. Holding back her rage.
