All the Way

Prologue

Game On

Hi, guys! I'm Hawkholly, and this is my second fanfiction! I'm hoping this story is longer than my other story, but I'm kinda short on ideas, so I'm gonna try! Oh, yes: if you don't like anyone breaking the fourth wall, don't read this. It only happens twice (including Star Wars, for some odd reason), I think…but oh well.

This story takes place before Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time. If you haven't played that game yet you'll most likely be confused, so I suggest you at least read about the game if you don't have it. So enjoy the prologue! Oh, and really quick: Mario and Luigi live in a small house called a Toad house. Look it up if you don't know what it looks like, please!

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, Twister, Monopoly, Mario Kart Wii, or Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (Yup, that's how many times I've broken the fourth wall.)

At the Bridge of Eldin, a man in red wrestling with a man in green while Midna's Lament played quietly in the background. "Give it up, Luigi," the man in red growled, spinning away from the man in green as he lunged.

The man in green narrowed his eyes as he missed by a centimeter. "Not bad, Mario. But I get to win this time!" He grabbed Mario and threw him off of the bridge before his brother had time to react, and a deep man's voice shouted, "Game!"

"Woo-hoo!" Luigi shouted, holding up his Wii remote. "I WIN! YOU LOSE!"

Mario knitted his eyebrows in frustration as he placed down his Wii remote. Sure, he'd lost before, but he'd never lost that terribly. "You cheated," he accused teasingly.

Luigi pretended to look hurt. "I did not!"

"Y'know, this is one of the best game days we've ever had," Mario thought aloud. They'd played Twister (Luigi won), Monopoly (Mario won), Mario Kart Wii (Mario made a comeback win on Rainbow Road) and finally, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

"Yeah." Luigi's eyes shone proudly. "It is."

Suddenly a loud crash was heard. Mario and Luigi jumped from their couch and stared in awe. Someone had crushed their door!

Bowser and Bowser Jr. were standing poised at at the entrance, obviously spoiling for a fight. The younger Koopa had his magical brush out, the usual bib covering his mouth. Bowser was standing beside him, arms crossed, foot tapping. And in a Koopa clown car right behind them was a familiar blonde, glancing around worriedly.

"PEACH!" Mario ran forward towards the clown car, slamming Bowser aside. He ran to the blonde and helped her out. "You okay?"

"Fine," she murmured, embarrassed. "Thanks, Mario."

Evil laughter sounded. Mario whirled around and saw Luigi backed against the wall of the house, Bowser and son cornering him. His eyes were wide with terror.

Mario leapt at Bowser. Peach shrieked and ran to her kingdom, which was starting to gather worriedly. "I'll protect the Toads!" she shouted, making a defensive barrier with her arms that barely covered two Toads.

"Protect the Toads," Luigi muttered under his breath as he tackled Bowser Jr. "Yeah right."

Before Mario knew it, the battle was over. "Junior! Make a warp zone!" Bowser shouted.

Bowser Jr. slipped from Luigi's grasp and hurriedly got out his paintbrush. Whipping it around crazily, a warp zone was created, and father and son disappeared inside.

"Wait!" Peach shouted, running close behind, her blue eyes glittering with determination. "We can't let them get away!" She leapt inside after them, and the warp zone sealed itself.

"Lovely." Luigi sighed. "That idiot got herself in trouble again."

"This time she was trying to be brave," Mario defended his girlfriend. "Now let's-a go!"

Mario and Luigi ran off, picking a direction at random.

~Peach's POV~

Peach shrieked as she landed behind some crates. She heard evil laughter and peered above the boxes, thankful for her hiding spot.

Bowser and his son! And they were in her castle! Peach narrowed her eyes. What were they planning to do?

"We did it!" Bowser laughed. "And it's all thanks to you, Junior, for thinking of the plan!"

"Aw, Papa," Bowser Jr. muttered, embarrassed. "All I did was use my natural talent. YOU'RE the one who pulled it off."

"True. Did you find the time machine?"

"Right here, Papa." Bowser Jr. motioned to a large-looking thing with a sheet covering it.

"Well, let's look at it!" Bowser pulled down the sheet, and there stood Professor E. Gadd's time machine. Big, yellow, a propeller on top, a door (duh), and two glass-stained windows.

The princess gasped. That time machine was to be revealed to the kingdom that weekend!

"To the past we go!" Bowser said, beginning to open the door.

Peach leapt up from her hiding spot. "No way!" She clenched her fists as the two Koopas turned around in surprise.

"Drat!" Bowser spat. "How'd she follow us?"

"Does it matter?" Bowser Jr. pointed out. "She doesn't have the strength to stop us! Heck, she got kidnapped this morning!"

Peach gave a high leap into the air and landed in front of the machine, blocking the door. "You wanna time travel? Well, you've gotta get past me!"

Father and son shared smirks. "I'll take care of this," Bowser Jr. said, stepping forward.

"Bring it," Peach replied, tucking her hair behind her ears.

Bowser Jr. leapt at her, fist out. She rolled forward, dodging, and punched him in the stomach as he stumbled. Trying again, this time he went low, and Peach tripped and fell, landing on her back. Bowser's son went in for the punch in the stomach, but the princess reached him first with her foot—and she was wearing high heels. With a cry of pain Bowser Jr. retreated inside his shell. Peach stood triumphantly over him and glanced at Bowser smugly. "Your turn."

"YOU IDIOT!" Bowser roared. "USE YOUR BRUSH!"

Bower Jr. scrambled from his shell and whipped out his paintbrush, twirling it around. Seconds later Peach was trapped in a cage made of paint. An arrogant smile on his face, the younger Koopa tossed his paintbrush in the air, caught it, and proudly walked back to his father.

She ran to the door of her cell and pulled at it. "Hey! Let me out right this instant!" she demanded.

"Hmm…nah." Bowser opened the door to the time machine. "C'mon, Junior! Time to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom…once and for all! GWA HA HA HA!"

The two Koopas disappeared inside the machine. "NO!" Peach screamed, watching helplessly, still trying to break free. "NO!"

Then the machine disappeared.

Peach slyly pulled her cellphone and began dialing Mario's number. "And he wonders how Mario knows where to find me…"

Wow. This is…the longest thing I have EVER written. XD

Btw, I imagine Peach's voice as if she were in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I don't know why, I just hear her voice in my head, and it sounds like that.

And I don't mean to sound like a beggar, but PLEASE review! Please please PLEASE? I'll accept constructive criticism, but please no flames. So I'll see y'all next chapter!
