A/N: Wheee, a new chapter. I have nothing else to say.
Daisy hung up as Toadsworth started breaking down into hysterics, sobbing about his dear Peachy. She wished this was all a dream, but when it comes to things like this it never was.
"Guys, I have to show you something." She pulled out the list and passed it around, gaining curious looks as her friends read it.
"You're probably going to think I'm crazy, but that list is of everyone that's going to die."
"Are you sure?" asked Birdo.
"Everyone who's dead has their name crossed off. It can't be coincidence, can it?"
She could tell some people were thinking she was crazy, but Daisy tried to ignore it.
"Mario, Peach, and DK are crossed off. They're dead. And we're all next."
Everyone started getting up.
"What are you guys doing?"
"We're leaving. You're obviously crazy," they responded.
"Wha-." But they were gone.
Birdo walked down the steps leading to the station. She had walked just to listen to Daisy's madness, and it wasn't worth it. Since she was so tired, Birdo decided to take the subway instead. After buying her ticket, she checked the listings for the next train to Eggsport. 5 minutes.
The platform was oddly empty. Generally, stations were packed no matter what time it was, but Birdo didn't notice. She was just glad she was going back to her home. Five minutes passed quickly, and soon a train was pulling up. As she got on, she noticed the section she was in was empty. Birdo grabbed a seat as the train started pulling out of the station.
Ten minutes passed before Birdo noticed something odd. The train was speeding up and it hadn't stopped once. Not caring she got in trouble, Birdo got up and starting going through the cars. There was something she couldn't place her finger on as she approached the conductor's car. Then it hit her. It was empty.
Birdo went into it. The last thing she saw was a wall speeding towards her.
It was all over the news. Unmanned train 3247 had collided into a wall, with the only casualty being a Birdo Eggit. It was unknown how and why the conductor exited the train, leaving the poor girl to die.
Daisy stared at the TV, her eyes and her mouth wide open. Another one of her friends dead. She decided she needed fresh air and went outside, where the night sky was glowing. She stood there for several minutes, trying to clear her thoughts. As she turned to enter, Daisy felt a presence behind her. Before she could see who it, she felt the point of a sharp object on her neck.
"Hello Daisy," the person sneered.
"Who are you?! And what do you want!?"
"To kill you."
"What?!"
"Unless you do me a little favor. Then I'll leave alone for the rest of the night."
Daisy decided to hear him out, before doing something.
"What do you want?"
"In Mario's house, there's a red stone. Get it for me."
"But what if Luigi is there?"
"Figure it out yourself. Now then, are you going to accept? Unless you want to die, which I can easily help you with."
Daisy wasn't sure what to do. She had no clue why the person wanted the red stone. The troubled princess decided to accept.
"Alright. I'll do it."
"When you get it, put the stone in the old tree near the castle." With that, the object was removed and the person walked away.
Daisy took a deep breath. She decided to search in the morning, when it'll be brighter and Luigi wouldn't be asleep.
"Hi Daisy! Have you had breakfast?"
"Nope, I'm really hungry right now."
"Great, I'm cooking pancakes right now! Come on in!"
As Daisy followed Luigi into the house, she could smell the aroma of pancakes floating through the house. A laptop sat on a table, playing a song about some place called the Nether. Luigi ran into the kitchen while Daisy took a seat. She wondered why he wasn't sobbing over Mario, when it hit her: no one must have told him.
"Looks like I'm out of syrup, I'll go buy some," Luigi noticed as he slid the pancakes onto a plate,"be right back."
He sprinted out of the door, leaving Daisy with a plate of plain pancakes and a perfect opportunity to search the house.
In other news, I'm writing a new oneshot. It's a crossover, and that's all I'm going to say.
