Daisy's Grand Ball

Act 1, Part 1 (Rosalina)

'Great, now two people to keep an eye on' She thought to herself. The woman then shooed away the negative remarks going on in her head, realizing that this wasn't making her very lady-like. Rosalina finally was greeted with a wide and spacious ballroom. Flowers and vines that looked like that they have grown for years were draping down from the tops of the chandeliers, along with balconies that have their own set of flowers hanging from the edges. People were dressed up nicely, chatting with their friends in twos, threes, fours, and even in larger groups. The woman was impressed at the scenery, it almost felt like home.

"Welcome everyone!!" Said a rather loud voice over the speakers.

The room was hushed as everyone turned to the grand balcony, the stairway that led up to it plastered with flowers and garlands along the rails. The carpet that was laying perfectly in the middle of the staircase was a nice orange color, and at the top of it, stood the princess herself, Daisy. She had pants on for her formal outfit, with a dashing long sleeve top and heels to top it off. She was holding a microphone up to her lips as she went on.

"Thank you all for making it! This is a very special occasion for me, and to have all of you here to celebrate, means the world to me!" She giggled as a mischievous look came across her face. "We will be doing this party in acts." The lights shut off, and everyone began murmuring. Soon black lights faded on, and everyone somehow had roller skates on.

Rosalina barely felt anything on her feet until she realized that she was a few inches taller. She then looked down and panicked, causing her to become uneasy with her balance.

"Act 1, we'll be groovin' and rollin'!" Daisy then handed the mic off to one of the servant toads, and ran down the stairs.

"HIT IT!!" She yelled, and suddenly some upbeat music began playing. Everyone began skating. Some were excited, some were pretty nervous, and it was off to a slow start.

"Ooooohhhhhh dear..." The star princess said quietly, struggling to stay standing. Obviously, she was one of the more nervous attendees. She then began to start skating, as people began to push her slightly in the direction that they were all rolling in.

Her anxiety was up again. She felt alone, though she was with Polari. And she was on shoes with wheels. Yes, she could ice skate, but this was different. Much different. Rosalina was in the midst of hundreds of people, trying to keep up with them. If she fell, she knew she was going to ruin everything. So she had to keep up her game. Though she was afraid, she put on her game face and began skating with the others at their pace. Soon enough, she passed up a few people. Realizing that this wasn't so bad, her back straightened and she skated with ease.

Daisy and Peach could be seen from afar, dancing to the music as they skated. She smiled and decided to skate up to them, and as she was doing so, she felt a hand clasp onto her shoulder. This startled her, yet again.

"Peasley, please quit scaring me like tha-" She turned her head and realized it was Luigi.

"Mama mia...this is scary, don't you think?"

Rosalina was surprised to see him dressed up so nicely and skating. She even blushed a bit at how she thought such an iconic figure was Peasley.

"It is, Luigi. It scared me the first few minutes too, but look, I'll teach you..." she said, gently taking his hand. "Now, bend your hips slightly, and go with the beat of the music. 1...and 2. 1...and 2." She said, demonstrating. Luigi nodded and began to count with her, a small smile coming across his 'stache. Luigi then let go of her, wanting to try it on his own.

"Woho!! I did it! I can do it!!" He yelped with joy. Rosalina was giggling at his happy self, and soon turned her head to look out at the crowd. She smiled, until she made eye contact with someone familiar. Her own special someone.
