Author's Note - Hello everyone! I would like to welcome you all to my very first story that I'll be posting here on ! I've been reading stories from this site for quite some time, primarily "Mario" and "Super Smash Bros." stories. I've come across good stories, great stories, and bad stories. And a few...weird ones. But that's not the point at the moment now is it? Anyway, there are a few things I want to go over before I begin.

Firstly; I do not own any Mario characters whatsoever. (Except for my OC) They're rightfully owned by Nintendo and it would be much appreciated if you all were to support their official work.

Secondly; just know that I am starting out on this site, although I have decent experience with writing. And if there are any suggestions that you may have for me in the future, please, feel free to either tell me in the review section, or just send a PM.

And finally; I only hope that you all will enjoy the content that I have to offer to you. I take great pleasure in you all enjoying and just plain out having a great time. But of course, I can only leave it up to you all. And I would like to thank those of you who took the time in reading this note that I've provided. Thank you and I hope you all will enjoy the first part!

Prologue - Otherworldly

Deep within the depths of space, billions and billions of stars lay bare against the foundation of the universe. Occupied by hundreds of planets that float within the vast darkness. Orbiting through the natural courses that they take annually.

But in the far outskirts within the dark, endless void, there floats a lonesome, purplish planet in a cold solar system.

The inhabitants of this planet were mysterious. They spent their days waiting….watching….staring at the vastness of space that had nothing to offer for them but emptiness. Cold-hearted emptiness. These creatures, they were searching, searching for a place they could call home.

These creatures spent nearly half a century searching for this new place to call home. Their resources were dwindling, and the population was dying off. All seemed hopeless at that point...until….

That glorious day came...after decades of searching, they've finally found a new place to call home. A beautiful planet, full of fresh air and flourishing sunlight. It was absolutely perfect. It was paradise full of milk and honey, breathtaking to the eye. These species quickly fixed up their broken down ships, and made way to their new home, directed by their rulers to set course to this planet known as…. the Mushroom World.

Eventually these beings took control of this newly found world, and the inhabitants of the Mushroom world were overwhelmed. The alien-like species took great pleasure in exterminating them, or taking them hostage and conducting various of experiments unto them. Some were placed in factories and were attached to the limbs of mysterious vines, sucking away the Mushroom people's life energy, known as vim to power their foreign ships. Others were transformed, these advanced species altered their DNA, most were either changed completely and became abominations to the planet, and some turned into grotesque shrooms, used as prized possessions unto these advanced creatures. They took control of one-third of the planet's resources, and made the Mushroom Kingdom their new utopia and committed any vile deed they could, just to have absolute control.

But, through the midst of it all, four heroes, all young and old, retaliated against these alien species. The battle was long, and rather challenging for the four heroes. Eventually, these alien creatures were defeated after the heroes discovered their utter weakness. Tears. The tears of a young infant was the downfall of the advanced race of aliens. As far fetched as it was, the salt of these tears was their utter defeat. The rulers of these advanced species, known as the Shroobs, were defeated. And their tyranny was finally over. Although, some lives were lost, but many were saved due to this unusual cure.

The Mushroom World was saved. Taking over a decade to have everything restored to its natural order. The recovery was long, but in the end, the world was set in peace and harmony for the time being. But little did they know, that the Shroobs swore vengeance upon the Mushroom planet. Where are they now you ask? No one knows. Some say they're watching us from the stars above. Others say the Shroobs DNA still remain within the survivors of the their grotesque experiments. But who knows? Only time will tell….

Mario & Luigi - Partners in Time: The Return

Chapter 1 - A Small...Intervention

It was a quiet morning in the Mario brother's residency. The beginning of Spring was here, and the bros. continued on doing what they usually did in the morning. Luigi was outside hanging the wet clothes on the clothesline to dry off. It was warm out, and the air was fresh. The green plumber took a deep breath as he took gaze of the beautiful sunlight and the puffy clouds that complimented the light blue sky. Everything was peaceful, until a loud scream interrupted the green plumber from his sightseeing.

"WAAAAHHHH!"

A scream all too familiar to the younger Mario brother. He hurried his way inside the house to check on his older brother, Mario.

"Mario? Are you alright? I heard you- oh no!"

Luigi found Mario on the ground as floods of water splattered on the floor from the bathroom,spreading its way into the kitchen.

"Ooooh. Mama mia…", groaned Mario.

"Oh no!", Luigi gasped, "Are you okay?!"

"Why...yeah, thanks for being so concerned for me, Luigi. I-"

"Not you, Mario! I'm talking about the floor! I just waxed it this morning!"

At this point, Mario lowered his eyelids and grumbled to himself, "'Are you okay, big bro?' , 'Oh, I'm fine little bro, thank you for asking. I appreciate it.', 'Hey, no problem big bro. Anything for you.'"

"Oh stop complaining, Mario. I'm only joking.", Luigi assured as he extended out his arm to his older brother who gladly took it in hand. Once Luigi lifted Mario to his feet, they both began to look at the mess that was made.

"Uh, bro."

Luigi sighed, "I'll get the mop."

"I'm sorry, but I'm trying to fix the pipes to the toilet. It's been acting up for a few days now.", Mario explained.

"I know, but sheesh bro, put those plumbing skills to use for Pete's sake.", Luigi stated, "Besides, you ought to hurry anyway."

"Why?"

"Don't you remember? Princess Peach and Princess Daisy invited us to go golfing with them this afternoon.", Luigi explained.

"Oh yeah! I can't believe I forgot…", Mario said, completely dumbfounded.

"How could you forget?", Luigi asked curiously.

"I...uhhh...have a lot on my mind.", Mario explained, "Nothing to it. I'll be-a done in a jiffy."

Once said, Mario made his way into the bathroom to continued on in his work to fix the toilet. Luigi was rather confused, but he shrugged the thought out his mind and continued to mop up the wet floor.

An hour later, the bros. were finished with their regular duties and made their way to Toad Town. On their way to meet with the Princesses.

….

"Oh...where could they be?", Peach patiently wondered.

"Relax, Peach, I'm sure they'll be here any moment. It's only...1:25.", Daisy said as she checked her watch, "No need to worry."

"Hmm. You're right, Daisy. I guess I'm a bit excited is all."

"In what way?"

"You know...that way.", Peach assured with a small smile.

Daisy was rather skeptical, until she realized what the Princess in pink meant, "Oh! Do you think Mario will ask you this time?"

"I hope so. I mean, we've known each other since we were kids and...I don't know, I'm just...worried is all.", Peach explained, "I really don't want to seem too pushy about it."

"Please. Mario would have to be crazy not to fall for you.", Daisy assured, "If you ask me, any guy would be lucky to even land a chat with you. Plus, you and Mario seem to have a lot in common anyway."

"Do we?"

"Duh! How could you not notice? I mean, you both are nice, sweet, enjoy talking all day. Heck, You guys even like the same flower.", Daisy said.

"A rose...I always...admired those.", Peach softly stated, "You're right, Daisy. I should be confident about this. I mean, I may not know how Mario feel, but it wouldn't hurt to try."

"That's the spirit!", Daisy assured.

"But I can't help but ask, what about you and Luigi?", Peach questioned, "Surely you two seem like a nice couple."

"Me and Luigi? Nah. That's silly.", Daisy said with a slight of awkwardness, "Let's just...not get on that topic, okay?"

"Aww. You have a little crush!", Peach teased.

"Shut up! I do not.", Daisy stated, "I have you know I-"

"Have a crush on Luigi.", Peach interrupted. At this point, the brown haired Princess grew irritable and was ready to strike back until a small knock was heard from outside the Princess's room.

"Come in.", the Princess in pink called.

A second later, a shy green Toad peered his way into the room and began, "Umm...your majesty, the Mario brothers are waiting for you in the main hall."

"Excellent! Thank you! You may continue on now.", Peach said with a soft smile. The Toad understood what was said and exited out the room. Leaving the two Princesses alone once more.

"Great! Now we can talk golf.", Daisy stated as she grabbed her orange cap from the dresser and placed it on her head, "Let's go."

"This conversation still isn't over you know.", Peach reminded.

"I swear, Peach! If you-"

"Don't worry, I'll keep quiet.", Peach said as she gave a wink "But I'll be watching."

Daisy huffed to herself and continued to follow the other to meet with the bros. Hoping today would go smoothly. But what was the worst that could happen at this point of time?

And that is all that I have for the first Chapter! So, what did you all think so far? Was it too short? Boring? Or just right as a beginning? Please, tell me in the reviews and I'll be sure to get back with you all! And I'll be sure to update again quite soon. Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
