"This is going to be a blast!" Peach yelled excitedly.

"Yep. You already know," Daisy said, giving orders to an employee of her personal cruise ship, Daisy Cruiser.

It was a bland day in the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario, eager to get some excitement happening, suggested that everyone should go to the old Baseball Island for the weekend. He had invited his brother, friends, and even a few enemies. 'Nothing will ruin this weekend' he had thought.

Peach and Daisy began to take a tiny stroll around the cruise ship. The two princesses excused themselves from the other passengers and went around, enjoying their time away from all the repeated trouble caused by the tyrannical Bowser. In fact, Bowser had joined them on the weekend. In addition, Bowser had brought his son and Kamek along too. So far, everyone was getting along. There wasn't a single argument or fight aboard Daisy Cruiser up to this point.

"You know, I was against this at first, but this is pretty great," Peach said to her best friend as the two young princesses walked through the dining hall.

"I'm with you. I didn't exactly want to be playing baseball any time soon, but you know how convincing Mario is," Daisy said. "If Luigi was going, I didn't want to be rude."

"I know what you mean. We might as well be interactive if we're here," Peach said, slightly smiling.

"Yeah. Let's play nice and have fun," Daisy agreed, offering a high-five.

Peach high-fived with Daisy and the two friends continued to wander aimlessly throughout the large ship. They walked in the northern direction for a full seven minutes in silence before they found a ladder leading up to the deck.

"I had this ladder built here as an easy way to get back up," Daisy explained, hopping onto the ladder. She began to climb upwards, and called down to Peach. "Come on, bestie! There aren't any tentative feelings on this cruise!"

Peach smiled at her friend, and followed her to the deck. They arrived back to the deck to find Mario, Luigi, and Toad sitting at a round table while enjoying lunch. The three friends sat and ate their separate lunches in private, shutting off all interaction with anyone else.

Upon seeing the approaching young princesses, Luigi immediately focused his attention to them. "Oh, hey! Where did you go?" Luigi called to Peach and Daisy.

"Oh, nowhere," Peach answered, casually sitting beside Mario.

"Yeah. It's nothing to worry about," Daisy added, kissing Luigi on the cheek. The plumber blushed and tried maintain his composure.

"Hey, Mario! How long is it gonna be before we reach the island?" demanded a low voice.

The five friends turned around to see Wario and Waluigi standing side-by-side, stomping their feet impatiently. Bowser Jr. then leapt beside Waluigi, and asked the same question.

"Oh, it won't be too much longer. I would say about fifteen minutes," Mario answered, checking his phone.

"I would say you should try to keep yourselves busy until we reach the island," Toad said, sipping from his glass of water.

"Whatever, you burnt fungus!" Wario yelled, walking around. Waluigi also left, just after giving Luigi and icy-cold glare.

"I don't understand that guy," Luigi said as the two mischievous Italian men walked away.

"Hmm?" Daisy asked.

"He hates me, but I haven't done anything to him," Luigi explained, eating from a tray of nachos blanketed with a rich, cheesy coating. "Waluigi is truly a strange guy."

"Don't get me started on that excuse for a man," Daisy replied in disgust. "He may only hate you because I like you. Waluigi is obviously envious of you."

"Really?" Luigi asked, surprised.

"Of course he is, Luigi. Why else would he constantly torment you?" Bowser Jr. asked.

"Well, it's not like I don't see why. Who wouldn't be attracted to the great and wonderful Princess Daisy?" Daisy said, feeling her hair proudly. Peach giggled at her friend's response.

"What is this?"

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, and Bowser Jr. turned to see Ludwig frowning at them, folding his arms. The eldest Koopaling stood before them with an eerie presence. He seemed angry about something.

"Um...can we help you, Ludwig?" Daisy nervously asked the pompous Koopa.

"No, but you can help yourself by jumping overboard," Wendy responded, walking from behind her older brother.

"Ugh...it's you," muttered Daisy.

"Yep. It is I, the wonderful Wendy O. Koopa!" Wendy announced.

"Let me talk, Wendy," Ludwig said, jumping in front of his sister. "Why have we been uninvited to yet another event?"

"Well, we didn't think of you guys, obviously," Mario answered, standing up from the table.

Luigi also stood up. "Please don't cause a fuss. We've been enjoying ourselves until you showed up," he said, glaring at the two siblings.

"Oh, is that so?" Ludwig responded, smiling. Larry appeared to his other side, holding his magic wand. "Well, we were enjoying ourselves until we found out about this injustice," Ludwig said, gesturing to his younger siblings.

"Yeah! We like baseball too, you know!" Larry yelled.

"Look. Why don't we just let you and your siblings join us?" Peach asked, trying to resolve the issue.

"Oh, it's too late for that, Blondie," Wendy sneered to Peach.

"Don't you ever talk to her like that!" Daisy yelled at Wendy.

"Or maybe you should watch your temper." Daisy turned around to see Morton standing behind the table, welding his magical mallet. His older brother, Roy, landed beside him with a thud that could be heard throughout the entire cruise ship.

"How did you guys get here?" Luigi asked the siblings.

"That question isn't important. What is important, however, is that you should surrender this cruise ship before we get rough with you guys," Ludwig responded.

"Look, Luddy. We've been looking forward to playing baseball all day. If you guys want to play that much, why don't you just join us?" Bowser Jr. questioned the eldest Koopaling.

"That sounds like a blast, but we have other plans," Iggy cackled, appearing out of nowhere.

"Involving this bomb!" Lemmy shouted, appearing with a large bomb about three times his size.
