Chapter 1: Preparations
She grasped the delicate brush and started to comb her golden blonde hair, the jewels encrusted on the mirror glittering in the morning sun. Her pink night gown almost glowed in a soft hue warming up the room. She ran her dainty fingers through her thick locks of yellow curls that fell over her shoulders. She placed down her brush and beamed at the mirror and murmured to herself.
"Happy Birthday, Peach."
She started up towards the bed, climbing the two steps and began to dress herself for the party later that evening. Peach paused a moment and considered her options. Would she wear her traditional pink dress? Would she wear her rarely seen melee dress? Or would she wear the more elaborate dress she wore for her brawl performance? She was particularly fond of that dress for its elaborate details and cute adornments of lace and golden decals. For this special event she decided to wear her outfit from brawl.
Now all dressed up with earrings and crown and all, she checked in with her retainers to make sure all the invitations were sent out to everyone. Ice Climbers, check. Link, check. Star fox and company, check. Samus check. Pauline...a hesitant but welcoming check.
A kindly toad with a small notepad ran up to her and stumbled on his on feet and fell as he dashed towards her. "Princess! Princess!" She felt her heart skip a beat. A million thoughts flashed through her mind; were some of the invitations lost? Did the caterer not arrive? Or worst of all, has Bowser come to ruin the party once again. She came up and knelt down helping the young toad back up to his feet, as he dusted off and smoothed out his little pants and cleared his throat. Regaining whatever dignity he had left, Toad said "Princess! I've found the pink rose scented letters you requested for your personal invitation to Mario!" Peach sighed in relief. Maybe, just maybe, she could plan an event without it turning into a total fiasco. She graciously thanked the young Toad and gave him a tiny kiss on the cheek, to which the Toad blushed. Peach began towards the Study in the nearby room. She sat down in the silence of the books around her and began to write. The scent of rose mixed in with the delightful odor of musty old books. She would usually be lost in thought among this comforting silence, but there was an eerie feeling in the air she just couldn't explain. Something caught her eye. Peach suddenly stood from the desk and glance out the window above it; she could have sworn she saw something in the horizon. A shadow perhaps? Her eyes narrowed trying to focus in on the valleys but found nothing. She then glanced down at the Toads busily rushing about making preparations for the party. She dismissed her wild thoughts and reassured herself that this would be a great party and a day she will never forget.
The princess began to write again, her hands inexplicably trembling.
