Prologue: Christmas In Canerica

December 15, 3016

The snow covers the grounds of Washington DC. The winter frost is in the air. The children are making snowmen and having snowball fights. And everybody's gone shopping to buy gifts for one another. Yep, it's that time again...it's Christmas.

Christmastime has come to the United States of Canerica, and all the humans and toons were just as cheerful as ever, as they prepared for the holiday season. There was even more exciting news during this time of the year: President Bert Raccoon announced to the public that has signed into a deal with King Bowser, saying that if one of his sons or daughters marries one of Bowser's sons or daughters, both famlies would be united. Bert Jr., Rocky, Sidney, and James were all married-the only one who did not join in the trend was the fattest member of the Raccoon family...Andrew Raccoon.

There were so many reasons why Andrew was still a bachelor. Although countless human and toon girls adored him, he very much preferred food over love-stuffing himself was one thing, but finding a wife was another. Why dabble into the joyful bonds of marriage when you can have an entire plate of spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, doughnuts, and ice cream waiting for you at a banquet table?

But on this particular holiday season, something happened that changed his life forever...he fell in love. It all started one beautiful day at the First Amalgamated Church in Washington DC, when everybody (including the presidential family) was attending the christening of Kentaro and Nellie Tanuki's new son. That was where Andrew fell for one of King Bowser's most beautiful daughters in the world...Tiny Koopa.
