A New Beginning

The sun rays glistened along the water in the mote as a sweet breeze blew gently by a window along the top of the Mushroom Palace. Inside the window were walls lined in royal pink and lace in every direction. A humming could be heard softly coming from a door near the window. Dark oak lined the outer edges of the door as a small tiara sat on-top of the arch. The humming grew slightly louder as the knob twisted to the right. A sudden click echoed off the room walls as Princess Peach walked out of the door.

Her smile reached from ear to ear as the soft breeze gently lifted and lowered her long blond hair. Her golden tiara rested gently on top her head as she twirled around the room continuing to hum. 'Mario is coming today!' she thought to herself as she stopped in-front of her full-body mirror. Her bright blue eyes shifted up and down as she checked to make sure that everything was perfect; the lacy ends of her white gloves, her necklace, and the twinkle in her pink shoes.

A knock came thumping from the front door as Peach slightly jumped from surprise. "W-who is it?" Peach said as a nervous quiver leaked through her voice.

The door flung open as a small old Toad walked through the door. His cap was brown from age as a large mustache covered most of his mouth. His glasses shined in the sunlight as he continued to walk towards Peach. "Good morning, Peach!" the Toad said.

A happy sigh escaped from her mouth as she lifted her left hand towards her chest. "Good morning, Toadsworth." Peach giggled as her smiled quickly returned to her face.

Toadsworth's mustache curled upwards as he let out a small chuckle. "Did I startle you, Princess?" he asked in his elderly voice. His deep eyes pierced Peach as he waited for her response.

"No!" Peach laughed as a small blush appeared on her cheeks, "I just thought you were someone else."

"Someone like...Mario?" Toadsworth questioned with a smile as he rubbed his small hard along his mustache, stroking it with intrigue.

A quiet thump started to echo in her ears as a warmth filled her face. Her blue eyes quivered as she touched her face with the tips of her fingers. "Mario...' she thought as her mind began to drift into a romantic void. The tips of her ears began to to feel like a small fire was sitting on their tips.

Toadsworth just watched as Peach began to squirm and shift her feet as her mind continued in the void. "I believe I was right!" He finally said with a loud chuckle as to break the silence.

"Huh?" Peach gasped as her mind snapped out of the void and back into the situation.

"Princess, I came to tell you that Princess Daisy is here to see you." Toadsworth said as he gestured towards the door. As the words had barely left his lips, Daisy walked through the door. Her long brown hair blew back gently as the breeze pushed it, and her long yellow dress slightly wrinkled against the air.

"Daisy!" Peach exclaimed as she leaped up and ran towards her friend.

"Whoa!" Daisy laughed in her typical tomboyish way as she hugged Peach, "Long time no see, Peach!"

Peach popped off her friend and quickly took a step back. "I know!" She giggled as she moved some hair from her face, "What has kept you so busy?"

"I think I shall take my leave!" Toadsworth stated as he gave a small wave and walked towards the door.

"I was just busy with political stuff." Daisy said as her smiled, "Nothing particularly important."

"Uh-hu~~" Peach grinned as she reached out and poked her friend on her shoulder. "Are you sure you weren't just off having secret dates with Luigi?"

Daisy's eyes shot open as a nervous chuckle seeped between her teeth. "What? Please!" She scoffed as her eyes darted left and right. "Me and Luigi are just friends, and nothing more." She crossed her arms as she nodded her head up and down. A shadow began to creep through the window and spread itself across the floor as a cloud slowly drifted by the sun.

"Funny," Peach said as she watched Daisy, "why don't I believe you?"

"No clue!" Daisy shrugged as a small grin tried to creep across her face. "So...I hear Mario is coming to see you! Is that right?" She leaned in to Peach as to push her off subject.

"Yes..." Peach said quietly as the blush started to return to her cheeks.

"Awww~" Daisy teased while pretending to be girly, "You and Mario~"

"Daisy!" Peach shrieked as she pouted, "He doesn't know how I feel yet!"

A loud wind suddenly came rushing into the room and filled it with a cold angry gust. "What's happening?!" Peach shouted as she tried to cover her ears. The whirring sounds of blades bounced off the walls and throughout the upper wing of the Palace.

Daisy grabbed her tiara as she ran towards the open window. "Not again!" She tried to yell against the wind. Outside the window spun the blades of a giant hovercraft.

The large green white and yellow hovercraft soared close to the tower of the Castle. The blades whirled in the air loudly, each blade further cutting into the air. A large green spiky figure emerged from the top of the hovercraft. The figure dawned bright red hair, almost like a mohawk, and a large snarling snouth with a pair of horns. Sharp teeth sparkled against the morning sun as a loud chuckle bellowed out from it's chest. "Well hello ladies! I figure you know what I am here?" the figure shouted as the craft lowered down closer to Peach's bedroom window.

"Bowser!" Daisy shouted against the wind as her eyes squinted. "The guards will be coming! You won't take Peach again!"

Bowser grinned at the threat. A low clank came out from the hovercraft as a large robotic hand shot out from it's side. "We will see about that…" Bowser whispered to himself as he operated the hand.

Daisy's eye grew in shock and horror as she watched the large hand bolt towards her. A loud scream broke out of her chest as she fell back into the room. The large hand rushed through the window, mere inches away from her face, and right towards Peach. The Princess watched, her body scared stiff, as the large hand gripped Peach around her waist and chest before retreating back out the window. "P-Peach!" Daisy called out as her eyes caught glimpse of Peach falling in the air towards bowser after the hand had tossed her up.

Peach screamed as she fell towards the top of the hovercraft. Her stomach rose sharply towards her throat, her nerves fired rapidly in a last ditch attack to save her. Her eyes welled with tears as she saw her life flash before her eyes. 'Mario…' she thought as the hovercraft rapidly grew closer.

"Gotcha." Bowser chuckled as he swiftly grabbed Peach from the air. He safely grabbed her in his arms, carrying her like the Princess she is. His tail brushed over the control panel, pressing the autopilot function, causing the Hovercraft to begin it's flight back to the Koopa Kingdom.
