It didn’t take too long to work out a lot of her moves. Regular attacks came naturally, a kick or a punch, whatever the situation seemed to merit. Her regular Special was simple enough, since that was what Toadette did. She’d also discovered an Up Special attack that she could do. It was, alas, similar to Peach’s, but it was definitely hers. Daisy could jump higher than Peach, but couldn’t hover as well. Her Flower Drift move was better than Peach’s equivalent, though. For one, it probably hurt more, and she could float longer than Peach could with her parasol. She loved her ability to produce flowers out of nowhere. The one downside to the move was that the flower tended to twirl as she floated. She was hoping that her uppercut-release, producing it at a low angle and then thrusting it up as it bloomed, would pack as much of a punch in the Brawl as here in the training yard.

Her other two Special moves took her a bit longer to think of. For her Down Special, she came up with the Daisy Wave, a burst of flowers shooting out all around her, knocking back her opponents. She used her Flower Dash, her defensive Power move when she played tennis, as a Side Special attack, rocketing herself into someone. It seemed obvious once she thought to use it, it just took a while to think of it.

For her side Smash attack, she decided to mimic Peach’s move of pulling out her random sports stuff to whack someone with. Instead of a frying pan, though, she pulled out her baseball bat. She decided to do a flip-kick for her up Smash, and a sweep kick for her down Smash.

She pulled her skates out for her Final Smash, dashing forward to grab an enemy, then spinning and throwing them off the screen. And she left a path of flowers in her path that would sap an opponent’s health for the few seconds they were around, and heal her.

“Yeah, this works,” Daisy said, exhausted, at the end of the training. She was breathing hard, but her guards were all but passed out from the experience. Toadette was probably in the best shape, but even she was feeling a bit of strain. And more than a couple bruises from mis-timing her counterattack.

“Ah, wow, that was tough…” she said, rubbing her arm where she’d most recently taken a blow.

“Feel like backing out?” Daisy chided.

“Nah, I’m good,” Toadette replied. “So, when do you want to go?”

“I would say tonight, but I think tomorrow’s our best bet,” Daisy decided after considering for a moment. “We should be well rested before crashing the party, eh?” Suddenly, her stomach rumbled loudly. “Ehe, we should eat before then, too. C’mon, you guys.” Helping the guard Toads up, they all headed inside for dinner. Daisy had the entire group join her for a feast, as a thank you for helping her prepare.

“Ah! Best reward I’ve gotten for taking a beating yet!” shouted Toadunk, who had joined in the training as well.

“Oh, be quiet, mister made-of-rubber,” Toadette countered, slapping him on the back. The guards chuckled, and Daisy tried to hide a smirk.

“A toast!” Daisy shouted suddenly. “To crashing the Brawl!”

“To crashing the Brawl!” the others echoed. Soon after, everyone parted for bed, to rest and to heal from the day’s activities, and to prepare for tomorrow.
Chapter two of Daisy's move to join the Brawl. This one mostly describes the moves that I thought up for her.
