The engine of Daisy’s motorbike roared as she across the starting line and sped up. The ground whipped by beneath her, blurring from speed. Quickly, Daisy glanced at the stop-watch, before turning back to watch the road. One slip up here could be fatal.
She was ahead of her old time for that lap. By a few seconds only, but she was defiantly ahead. Good. Daisy bent low over the handles of the bike, locked in tight concentration.
This was just a practice run, the real race wasn’t until tomorrow, but she was racing like the Lightning Cup trophy was on the line. She gritted her teeth. She would not be beaten again, especially not by Peach. Not anymore.
Daisy thought back to the last race; on the last lap, she’d hit the pink princess with a blue shell, with the finish line in sight. By the time Peach had managed to get moving again, she’d gone from first to last place. Now, the only people with the points for a shot at the top spot were Luigi, Waluigi and herself.
Another turn was coming up. Daisy began to tilt to the side, going into the turn at full speed. So concentrated was she on making this turn, that she didn’t notice the red shell coming up from out of nowhere until it had hit her.
“Whoa!!!” Daisy wailed as she spun out of control. She slammed into one of the walls and was thrown clear of her bike. When she hit the ground, everything went dark…

“Hmmmppphhh…” Daisy groaned as she slowly came too. Everything was dark. Her head felt like it was on fire. She tried to reach up and rub her head, but to her surprise, her arms wouldn’t move. They were pinned tightly behind her back.
With a cry of frightened surprise, Daisy realized it was because her arms had been tightly bound behind her back with rope. More rope had been used to bind her ankles. She’d also been blindfolded and gagged with strips of cloth; but by whom? Who would go to such lengths to kidnap her?
Suddenly Daisy heard a familiar laughter from in front of her. Almost immediately, she realized who it was. Unseen hands reached behind her head to untie the blindfold. As it fell away, she wasn’t surprised to see none other than Waluigi standing over her laughing evilly.
“eet eee OOOH!!!” Daisy cried into her gag. That just made her captor laugh again.
“Soon.” Waluigi said, savoring his triumph. “Once Luigi has thrown the race today, I’ll be happy to let you go.”
The race was today!?! Daisy thought, surprised. How long had she been out?
Meanwhile, Waluigi continued. “Then again, he might decide I’m bluffing. If that’s the case, I’m afraid things might get a little unpleasant for you…” Daisy flinched. She didn’t think he was bluffing. Whether Luigi did or not was a whole other matter.
Waluigi strode off laughing in triumph. He’d already knocked two racers out of the running, and doubtless he had plenty of other tricks up his dirty sleeves for the rest to ensure he came in first and won. The trophy was already his, or at least things looked that way.
Daisy glanced around. She was seated up against the back of one of the walls ringing the track, her legs tucked under her, tied to her bound wrists in a loose hogtie. If she listened carefully, she could hear the rumble of engines starting. The race was about to begin!
Daisy squirmed, struggling against her bonds, but the ropes were knotted tightly and didn’t budge. She slumped down. No chance of getting free. She’d just have to wait and see who won. She groaned into her gag in frustration at her helplessness.
Meanwhile, Daisy heard the race start. She could imagine the other drivers, their eyes on the starting light. The sound of engines went from very soft to very loud in only a few seconds as the carts raced by the section of walls the captive princess was hidden behind.
Daisy yelled into her gag as loud as she could, trying to attract the attention of the drivers, but her gag-muffled cries were drowned out by the roar of the engines. Glancing up, Daisy saw a blue shell fly over and thought she heard a muffled boom and Waluigi groan in dismay as it hit, but just as quickly as the racers had approached, they were gone, further down the track.
Twice more, she heard the zoom of the carts as the racers roared by on the second and third laps. Then there was a cheer from the audience as a winner raced across the finish line. The race was over! But who had won? She heard footsteps, coming around the corner…

This was a request by :iconcapacity1: He requested I write a short story where Princess Daisy from the Mario Bros is kidnapped by Waluigi and Luigi saves her. That was about 9-10 weeks ago. my bad... :ashamed:
anyway, I finally got it done. Fanart or Fanfic isn't really my forte, so I hope you like it.
I'm not a big fan of the Mario Bros games, I've only played a couple, so I based the picture and story off of Mario Kart, becuase that's the game I have the most experience with.

here's the rough draft: [link]
