Alright guys! Here's the first Deleted Scene of the story! This is an alternate scene (like you would see in a video game, depending on the in-game choices you make) and is NOT a part of the actual story itself. Just an alternate "what if?" kind of thing, if that makes sense. This is based on the Preview from Ch 5. Occasionally, I will also post an 'extra' in this fic. Extras will be either something you guys wanted explained, a scene stretched further, or special episodes, which you guys can suggest as well. These scenes and extras WILL NOT coexist but they might fore-shadow events in the future or reference events in the past. Before the start of each scene, I will leave a little note to explain what just happened in the actual story. The length of these Chapters might not be as long as the ones in the story, so I apologise for that. Without further ado, here's the first Deleted Scene!

Recap:
After returning from the Mountain Peak successfully with Toadette and the captured yoshi, Mario and Toad sat with Luigi at the table in the far corner of the room, while their unconscious friend, Toadette, was laying down in a bed, not too far from them. Mario and Toad tried to demand answers from Serena, who wouldn't respond.

Now:

"Why won't you answer us?" Mario asked

"Because you haven't given her a chance to explain herself yet." Luigi said simply "All you've done is badger her with questions. Did you once take her feelings into account?"

Mario and Toad were taken aback. They knew Luigi was right, but they needed to know some answers!

"I-Its okay, Luigi. You don't need to stand up for me…" Serena muttered, making the three turn to her. She didn't sound like her usual cheery self at all. Mario and Toad suddenly felt bad for pestering her.

"Just who is this…Zeke?" Mario tried again

Serena sighed, "Without telling you my life story, Zeke was my childhood friend. We shared the same interests and games. We both enjoyed playing video games." She said, the tone of her voice giving away the sadness and hurt she felt. "We'd tell each other everything. From hints on how to beat the next boss, to our deepest secrets."

"Boss?" Mario asked

"Big, bad guys that the main character fights in order to beat the game." Serena replied.

"Video games? Main character?" Luigi asked, becoming intrigued.

"Umm…a game played electronically on a big screen, you use a controller and play a character." Serena bluntly explained.

"What kinds of characters?" Toad asked.

"U-Umm…ones that travel between worlds, fight the bad guys, saving Princesses, playing tennis, kart racing…" Serena quickly rattled off a few, then swore quietly when she realised they were all Mario games.

"Name a character!" Luigi said, getting excited.

"U-Umm…well…" Serena hesitated, what should she tell them?

"Well, come on, we don't have all day." Toad said, eagerly awaiting the answer.

"But what about Zeke and saving the universe?" Serena asked the three.

"That can wait." Mario said, "Tell us more about 'video games'." Luigi and Toad nodded in agreement.

Serena sighed inwardly, she was going to regret this later. "Umm…well…for example, one of the main character's names is…Mario."

"Mario?!" Luigi and Toad shouted in surprise.

"M-Me?!" Mario spluttered.

"The one and only." Serena confirmed.

The three were in a state of utter shock! Mario, a video game character?!

"Wh-What about us?" Toad asked

Serena hesitantly nodded. "Everyone and everyplace in this Universe, is a part of one big video game series back in my World." She said.

"S-So, that's how you knew about us before we met you?" Luigi inquired

"Indeed it is."

"E-Even Daisy, and Toadsworth, and Ludwig a-and even Bowser?"

"Yep!"

"You knew we played tennis and kart racing?" Toad asked

"Definitely."

"Then what about Donkey Kong?" Mario asked, making it sound like a challenge.

"Donkey has plenty of video games himself, my personal favourite is playing as he, Diddy, Tiny, Lanky and Chunky to save their Island!" Serena said, enjoying their responses.

The three were bewildered. How could such a thing exist in Serena's world?

"H-How?!" Mario asked, slapping his hands down on the table, making Serena flinch. "How were they made, and how does your world know all of this?" Mario pestered.

"Well, these people just made games, we don't know where they got their ideas from!" Serena retaliated.

"Wait…other people made this…?" Mario asked slowly, becoming lost in thought.

"Well, not even I'm sure about that one…"

"Mama Mia!" Mario suddenly shouted. The other four turned to Mario in surprise.

Toad was the first to react "Mario…? Don't tell me you know who did this?"

Luigi thought for a moment, before he too began freaking out.

"Guys…I know this is a lot to take in…but please don't go insane over it…" Serena whined

"Bro…do you think it's him…?" Luigi asked Mario.

"N-No doubt about it…I'm surprised he's still alive…" Mario replied meekly.

"Who?!" Toad and Serena demanded.

Mario sighed. "Serena. Is there anyone in your world that goes by Miyamoto?" he asked, giving Serena a serious look.

"Yes!" Serena said immediately, "He's known for creating the video game series based on your world here. That's how I know so much!" she added. "Why? Do you know him?"

Mario hesitated, trying to debate on whether or not he should continue before Luigi beats him to the punch. "Yeah, he somehow comes to our world and every time he visits Peach's Castle, he's always down in the archives." The green hero said.

Now it was Serena's turn to be surprised. "…Archives?" she asked.

"That's where all of Mario's and Luigi's adventures are stored!" Toad replied. "They get written down like books and are shelved in a special room, so we can re-read them in case a similar event happens! Pretty cool, huh?"

Serena was excited now. "So Miyamoto came to your world, read about your adventures and created them into video games in my world?"

"Sounds about right." Mario said, amazed by this revelation.

"I wonder…how many times have you been through the Galaxy, Mario?" Serena asked.

"No idea." Mario replied. "It's like we're doing the same thing over and over again multiple times."

"Woah! Then that means every time somebody in my world plays a game, you guys relive the scenario?"

"This is…mind blowing on so many levels…" Luigi murmured, trying to grasp the situation.

"Well…How do I put it?" Mario muttered, before replying. "It's a bit like a dream really, we're not exactly replaying the situation, we dream about doing it all over again."

"Does everybody have the dream?" Serena questioned.

Toad shook his head. "I'm so confused! What's going on now?"

"I think I've got it!" Serena exclaimed, becoming excited, "Luigi. Do you dream about the Mansions?"

"I haven't for a while" Luigi responded. "A while ago I used to get them all the time after the first adventure through each one. I just thought they were nightmares…" Luigi trembles in slight fear. Serena thinks for a moment before jumping up on her seat.

"Criminy! I've got it!" Serena shouted. All the yoshi stopped to look at her before she blushed and sat back down. "It's exactly what I said before; every time the game is played, you guys relive it. Except only the main characters see it!"

"That explains why Luigi and I kept dreaming about our Paper adventure at the same time…" Mario said, lost in thought.

"Aww this is so cool!" Serena cheered, ignoring the weird looks she was receiving from Red and Yellow.

"I am one-hundred per cent certain that Serena is what you would call 'Off her rocker'" Yellow said to Red in her monotonous voice.

Red sweat-dropped with a sigh. "Let's just ignore them. I'm pretty sure they're talking about something that will drive us and the greater universe insane…" he replied, not wanting to intrude on their conversation himself.

"What about the Paper World?" Luigi asked, everybody recovering from the latest surprise.

"You mean when Bowser and Peach got married? And Paper Luigi was the wedding crasher?" Serena asked them.

"Wait, Bowser and Peach got married?!" Toad shouted, aghast. His shout briefly got the attention of yoshi nearby, and Toad's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Their paper versions did. But don't worry, I don't believe it counts…they were forced to and a villain used them to create the Chaos Heart."

"No wonder why Paper Mario didn't tell me how the Chaos Heart came to be…" Mario muttered.

"Yeah, I played that one too, where you and Luigi fought alongside Paper Mario to defeat the two Bowsers." Serena said, "And when the two of you helped Prince Peasley in the Bean-Bean Kingdom."

Toad, Mario and Luigi sat in silence, taking it all in once more. Serena smiled, grateful that they weren't taking it badly.

"So…" Serena said, "Don't go insane guys, this is real. Just accept it and let us move on…"

Toadette stirred and opened her eyes, finally waking with a loud groan. The four stopped their conversation and turned their attention towards the fallen genius.

After Toadette regained her senses, she found out where she was, sitting up and looking at her friends.

"A-Are you alright sis?" Toad asked.

"Did I miss something important?" Toadette asked.

The four exchanged glances and sighed. They should have waited for Toadette to wake up, the genius missed out on a lot of information. She was so going to chew them out for this…

Okay! So this is the rewrite, the original didn't have the Miyamoto part in it, or the recurring adventures. So for current readers looking back on this, I hope this is to your liking.

For new readers, I hope you enjoyed this wacky deleted scene!

Next will be an extra, look out for its reference in later SMU chapters!
