Chapter 14: Daisy vs Waluigi
Waluigi and Daisy were ready to play against each other. They stood on their sides of the field and awaited for Lakitu to let them start. Polari, Luma and I sat on the audience benches and quietly observed the field.
''I'm going to kick you back to Mars where you belong!'' Daisy yelled.
''Oh yeah? Well I'm going to...'' Waluigi paused to think of a good comeback. ''I-I'm gonna' beat you so hard that you're going to become afraid of me!''
Guess he isn't the one that can come up with any good comebacks on the spot. Daisy just laughed at his statement and he was boiling with rage.
''Okay, the first one to reach five goals is the winner. Ready players?'' Lakitu asked as he hovered in the middle of the field. Daisy and Waluigi gave him a thumbs up. ''Then... go!''
He released the ball on the field and Waluigi immediately got ahold of it and started to kick it over to Daisy's side. Shawn was close behind him and soon got the ball and started running and kicking with his short little legs. He was suprisingly fast, almost as fast as Waluigi despite his height!
''Go Shawn!'' Luma yelled.
''Go Waluigi!'' Polari yelled.
''Go everybody!'' I yelled, just so nobody would feel left out.
Shawn then got tackled by one of Daisy's teammates: an orange Birdo. She took the ball away from him and closed in on Waluigi's goal in a rapid speed. She shot, she scored. Daisy danced around in victory as Waluigi helped Shawn get up from the ground.
''1 - 0 to Daisy's team!'' Lakitu announced.
Waluigi growled as he stared at Daisy who was now mocking his team. ''Haha! Yeah! We're the best! Losers!''
''Don't get your hopes up, the game's not over yet!'' Waluigi replied and smiled deviously.
They all went to their starting positions, Lakitu dropped the ball and the match was on again. The ball was passed to Waluigi, then Shawn, then purple Koopa #1, then the orange Birdo stole it from him. Ball was passed to Daisy, then to orange Boo, then to Daisy again and... goal!
Waluigi slapped himself in the face. ''Come on! Pull it together, Waluigi!'' He said to himself.
''Waluigi!'' I yelled, his attention was drawn to me. ''Third time's the charm!'' I said and smiled. ''You can do it!''
He smiled back to me and then the game started for the third time. Orange Birdo got the ball but was tackled by Waluigi. He started running towards his own goal. ''Hey! What are you doing?!'' Polari yelled. ''Your goal's the other way!''
He then stopped, kicked the ball high up in the sky and jumped after it. He flew up like a rocket and purple thorny vines started growing out behind him out of thin air. His thorny whip then appeared in his hand, he swung it around him one time and then hit the ball with it right towards Daisy's goal. The ball split up into five balls and were travelling towards Daisy's goal in a rapid pace. The crocodile goalkeeper tried to catch every ball but managed to only catch three of them. Now they were even!
''Two superstrike goals for Waluigi!'' Lakitu shouted. Waluigi started to dance around and grabbed the ball and looked at the orange Birdo. ''You want the ball? Huh? Here!'' He said and threw it onto her. Daisy went up to her goalkeep and started yelling at him. The crocodile just shrugged angrily and everyone went back to their starting positions.
The fourth match started. Daisy got ahold of the ball and started running towards her goal, just like Waluigi did with his. ''Let's see if you can catch this!'' She exclaimed and jumped up in the air together with the ball. Ice started to form around her right fist and it started to look like a glove. She punched the ball towards Waluigi's goal and the goalkeep missed two balls. If Daisy now would score again, then she would win.
''Come on, Waluigi! You can do it!'' Luma yelled. ''We believe in you!''
The next match started and it went on for a while. Waluigi and his teammates were giving all they got for this. They all managed to shoot the ball in each goal a couple of times but every time they did the goalkeep saved it.
I saw that both Waluigi and Daisy started to get tired, but they didn't want to end it. Then, when Daisy got ahold of the ball again, she ran back and jumped into the air again with the ball. Waluigi gasped. ''Hey! How can you still have stamina for that?!''
Before she hit the ball with her ice glove she grinned at him. ''I have greater stamina than YOU!'' Then she hit it, and it started to fly towards Waluigi's goal. The goalkeeper tried to save all of them and managed to catch two, but when the third came towards him, Waluigi jumped right in front of it and got hit in the head pretty hard. And the last two balls were scored. Lakitu announced the winner of the game and the Toads and other people who had been watching the game started cheering for her.
I ran onto the field towards Waluigi, who was still trying to get up from the ground after that ball hit him. Shawn and I helped him get up and watched as Daisy danced around in victory together with her teammates. We helped Waluigi to the benches so he could sit down, I took a look at his face to see if he was hurt somewhere. He had a black eye but nothing more. I took out my wand and healed him, he thanked me as Shawn dusted off his shoulders from dirt and grass.
Daisy walked up to us with her team and laughed at Waluigi's defeat. ''You see? I AM better than you! You're just a piece of nothing that can't do anything right!''
Waluigi just looked down in dissapointment for himself. That's when my bubble burst. I marched right towards Daisy and looked at her angily. ''Daisy, this is unnaceptable! You've reached a new low!''
''Huh?'' She said and looked at me confused.
''I don't understand how you can live with yourself, taunting Waluigi every time you meet him. You don't have the right to treat him like this, even if you're a princess. He's honestly just a nice guy who wants to have fun with his friends. It doesn't matter what he has done in the past because what's important is who he is now. He has changed, Daisy, and I think that if you give him a chance: he can prove that he's something else than what you claim him to be.''
Everybody was quiet and stared at me for an awkward moment. Then Daisy started to chuckle. ''Oh, dear Rosalina. Do you even hear yourself? This is all part of his plan. It has happened many times before, he acts nice to earn everyone's trust, then he stabs them in the back. You're just the next victim in this infinite loop.''
She started walking away together with her team. ''But I'll guess that you don't want to listen to me. So find out the hard way, I'm not going to stop you.''
I was temped to take out my wand and give her a zap. But as soon as I took out my wand, Waluigi stopped me. ''Don't... she isn't worth it.''
I looked back at him. ''What do you mean?! She's acting like this because you let her!''
''I don't want to cause more ruckus for today.'' He answered. ''Can't we just... continue with the training?''
I went up to him and sat down right beside him. ''Waluigi, you've got to stand up for yourself. Don't let her have it her way with you, you've got to give her a piece of your mind.''
''Don't you think I've tried?'' He said. ''It's been going on for several years, but in the end it's always just the same. That's why I stopped trying long ago.''
I put my hand on his shoulder. ''You should never stop trying. Daisy's wrong about you and you should show her that. Maybe next time you see her you can maybe try to start up a friendly conversation?''
''Thanks Rosalina but... I don't know if she'll ever accept the new me.''
I put my hand on his knee. ''I'm sure she will someday.''
Aww, Waluigi didn't win. :( Eh, whatever! Daisy can take that victory and shove it up her #%&. Sorry for my english, but Daisy is one of my least favourite characters. She's just so annoying!
