It was your average day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Sun was shining, birds were chirping, people were running.

"Help me Mario!" Princess Peach screamed, as she was taken to the Clown Car by Bowser.

Yup, just a typical day.

"BWAHAHAHA! She's mine now!" Bowser said as he took off.

Mario hopped on his kart and gave pursuit. Cutting straight through the heart of Toad Town. "Come down here and fight like a man!"

"Nah." Bowser said, chucking a Bob-omb at the plumber.

Mario saw this coming, he leapt from his kart and with a swift kick, it was returned to sender.

"Ah crap." is all Bowser had time to say before it scored a direct hit. Sending the copter into a tail spin.

Mario could only watch in horror as it plowed into a large building. The side of the building read 'Toad Town Elementary School'. He pulled up to the front, the school was already being evacuated.

"Mr. Mario, thank God!" An old toad came up to him, presumably the principal. "We have children trapped in Ms. Shy's class. Bowser and the Princess are fighting outside it in the hallway. First hall to your left."

"I'm on it sir." Mario said as he darted into the school. Inside, Peach had a hold of a piece of pipe, and was fending off her kidnapper. "Princess, get out of here, I got this!"

With a nod she took off, Bowser shouting at her. "Oh no you don't. Kamek!" In a puff of smoke the Magikoopa appeared, blocking Peach's escape route.

"Where do you think you are going?" He snickered.

"Mario, switch!" She knew she couldn't handle the wizard, but she had a chance against Bowser.

There was a pause as combatants stared each other down, Ms. Shy saw the opportunity and quickly evacuated the classroom.

"Take this!" Kamek screamed as he lobbed spell after spell at the mustached man. Each spell being dodged with ease. With a swift punch the magikoopa was flung backward. He prepared his most powerful spell and lobbed it at the plumber, missing by milimeters. The spell stayed its course, directly toward an unfortunate little girl.

"NO!" Peach screamed. With a swift dive, she tackled the child, taking the full brunt of the spell.

As the dust settled, the three just stared at the two unconscious girls laying in the hall. Kamek was the first to recover, and with a wave of his wand, Bowser, Peach and himself were gone.


Peach awoke to the sight of white ceiling tiles and florescent lights.

"Where am I?" She said, her voice sounding a little funny.

"Oh honey you're awake!" she turned and saw a very tall woman lean down to hug her, In fact everything seemed bigger. "You're in the hospital, Lili. Your school was attacked, and the Princess saved you!"

"Lili?" She looked in the mirror on the wall and saw a little brunette girl, about six years old, staring back at her. All at once. her mind felt like it was shoved away. She lost control of 'her' body and voice, but could still see, hear and feel everything going on.

"Mommy! There was this big koopa with a spiky shell! And it was fighting Princess Peach, then Mario came and a guy with a wand appeared and I was about to get hit by something and-"

"Calm down sweetie. You're safe now. I'm going to go tell the doctor you are awake, stay here, Mommy will be right back." The woman left the room to track down the doctor.

Hello? Peach said, her thoughts echoing.

Hi! Who are you? Why are you in my head? She could hear the girl- Lili's thoughts in response.

My name is Peach. I don't know what I am doing in your head.

You mean Princess Peach? The one that lives in the castle and does cool stuff all the time?

Haha, Yup, that's me!

This is so cool! I can't wait 'till all my friends hear about this!

Hey, Lili? Do you mind if you keep this a secret? People might think it's weird.

Oh, ok then.

"I'm back sweetie! The doctor said you'll have to stay here tonight, but you can come home tomorrow! I hope you won't be lonely tonight."

"Don't worry mommy, I won't be lonely."


This is one weird slumber party. It seems Princess Peach's sacrifice had some odd consequences.
