Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelloooooooooooooooooooo people! I've decide to put Yoob's Revenge on hold yet again as this story just won't stay put in my mind. So, I'm gonna try and juggle two stories at once…*gulp*

Anyway, the new story. I can't be bothered to transplant the summary here (go back and read it if you havent'…:P) so...on with the story!

The star sprite tilted her head back (wait, can she do that? Perhaps not…just use your imagination, people!) and sighed. It had been another busy day cleaning and repairing Peach's Castle, and the workload was really starting to wear her down. She had used her star power countless times in conjunction with Peach's so-called 'wish power' to levitate objects into their proper places when they proved too heavy for the toads to carry. Now she was back on her favourite balcony, the Dark Star balcony. They had decided to keep it as it was the only addition to the castle that Fawful made that was actually good.

They are doing an amazing job, fixing and cleaning this castle good and proper, Starlow thought.

"Starlow!" a familiar voice called. She looked left to see Mario pelting up the stairs. She sighed internally. She would bet anything it was another summons by Peach.

"Yes, Mario?" she asked politely, allowing an irritable look cross her face. Mario looked down, abashed. Everyone knew that if you disturbed Starlow while she was in 'her favourite place', as she referred to it, you would likely annoy her and be on the receiving end of her star power. Usually off the edge of the balcony to the thin ledge which went all around Peach's Castle. Oh, she couldn't levitate you. But she could push you off with a strong gale (yes, I've decided to give her some Dark Star powers. Don't flame).

"Peach has asked you to help her lift the throne room chair into its proper position," Mario said. Starlow gaped at him, then sent a fuming look his way.

"Wha-what?! But…that chair will cover the only entrance up to this place!" Starlow practically screamed. Mario stared at her pitifully.

"I know, Starlow, I know. But…she's the princess. You can't mess her about," Mario said sternly, fixing the star sprite with a looked that accompanied his tone. Starlow's face drooped, and she fixed a look of blankness on her face.

"Fine," she said emotionlessly, and breezed past him down the stairs to the throne room. Mario gulped. There was going to be one of the legendary shouting matches he and the toads had come to expect so often…

*

"PEACH!" Starlow roared, entering the throne room. All the toads winced at the same time, and one dropped his hammer. It landed directly in front of Starlow, who growled at him and pushed it back with a strong blast of wind. It hit the toad in the temple and knocked him out cold.

"What are you all staring at?!" she snapped at the remaining toads, who all turned back to whatever they were doing hurriedly.

"You called, Starlow?" Peach asked, stepping delicately around the rubble and the throne chair that was dominating the middle of the room. Starlow immediately puffed herself up to make herself more intimidating and flew as fast as she could towards Peach, hoping to scare her. She stopped just short of Peach's face. She didn't bat an eyelid. Starlow growled.

"Yes, princess, I called you. Why, oh why are you putting the throne chair up?" the star sprite asked through gritted teeth. A look of shock appeared on Peach's features.

"Why? So I have somewhere to sit at the end of all this, star sprite," she hissed, eyes narrowed. Starlow stared at her as if slapped. Never, ever (if you wanted to live, that is), call another species by their…uh…species name. Starlow shook herself, regaining her composure.

"Never – and I mean never – call me that again. Do you hear me, Peach?" Starlow spat. Peach had that look of shock again, and a hand went to cover her mouth.

"Oh…I'm sorry, Starlow. I…never meant to call you that. I guess all our tempers are being a little frayed, huh?" Peach said, giggling nervously. Starlow grunted in approval, turning away. "But there's another reason why I called you down here…" the princess continued.

"Huh? What other reason? I swear, Peach, if want me to comment on all the dresses you've got again…" Starlow said threateningly, but only half-heartedly, her steam gone. Peach just beckoned and walked out of the room into a side room Starlow had never noticed before. Confused, she followed.

So, how did you like the first chappy? Good? Bad? Please review!
