Don't own the games. Enjoy.

Peach sobbed hysterically, punching her pink pillows with much enthusiasm. Mario, the one man that she had ever loved, had kissed Timpani. She couldn't believe it! Blumiere and Timpani had managed to flip to Mushroom Kingdom a few days ago, and she knew something was going to happen, the way Timpani kept staring at Mario.

"Blumiere…was her true love! Why did she make a move on Mario? I thought she was my friend!" More sobs stumbled out of her. I hope Blumiere is taking this better than me…

Blumiere was taking it far worse. He had searched everywhere for her. Went to the depths of the Underwhere for her, nearly destroyed all the worlds…and she does this to him? How could she do such a thing? Blumiere let a few of his tears spill, then sniffled and stood up. He wasn't going to stay here to watch her continue to love all over Mario.

He walked down the hallway, ignoring the concerned questions of the Toadstools, when he heard a few sniffles. Oh…

Of course.

Peach.

The princess must be more heart broken than him. Taking a huge breath, he gently opened the door. The princess was curled up in a fetal position on her bed, letting out deep sobs. He sighed, and gently closed the door, crossed over to the bed, and gently sat down. He watched her silently, not saying a word.

Peach let out a few more sobs, and gradually stopped. Wiping her eyes, she looked up into the yellow eyes of Blumiere. She sat up, wiping her eyes even more, then looked at Blumiere.

"H-hi…", Peach hiccupped. "Hello, Princess. I guess you saw it as well as I did?" Peach nodded, feeling more tears fill her eyes. She tried to ignore them, but they continued to fill up, no matter how much she resisted. "I…I'm sorry. I…" A sob accidentally escaped her.

Blumiere reached forward, wrapped his arms around her, and held her close. Peach gasped. He was so blonde hair, shushing her gently. She cried for a few more minutes, then started to calm down. She didn't move though, and he was strangely…glad she didn't. He didn't know why, but he enjoyed her lying there.

"Are you okay? Sorry. I shouldn't have asked that." Blumiere shrugged, "Maybe after a few years." Peach sighed quietly. "I knew Tippi liked Mario, but I thought it was as friends." Blumiere sighed as well, "I thought the same thing. I guess they were closer than we thought."

Peach nodded jerkily, then looked up at Blumiere closely.

He looked pretty handsome. His blue hair and skin were flawless, and his yellow eyes seemed to glow.

I wonder…what it would be like…to kiss him. Peach's eyes widened. Where did that thought come from?

She reluctantly moved from Blumiere's arms and wiped her eyes with her glove.

Blumiere's chest suddenly felt empty and cold. He kept his feelings of wistfulness to himself, and looked at Peach in concern.

"Would you…would you like to go for a walk, Princess?" Peach looked up in surprise, then smiled gently. The smile seemed to make her sapphire eyes sparkle even more. Blumiere felt his heart beating faster.

"Sure, Blumiere." Blumiere held out his arm, and Peach gently placed her hand on the crook of his elbow.
