If there was one thing Rosalina could never get tired of, it was all the stories Mario had on his adventures in Mushroom Kingdom. Every adventure intrigued the cosmic princess. She could sit for hours listening to Mario and never get bored but every time he'd leave to go back to his planet, she'd get saddened. A part of her wished to go down with him and have some sort of experience of her own. But this wasn't her destiny. She was destined to be stuck in her comet observatory with her lumas. It wasn't that she detested her lumas. She loved them with all her heart. A part of her simply wished for something more.
After making sure all her lumas were sent to bed, Rosalina decided to make a visit to the library. Whenever she felt lonely, she could count on books to keep her company. As Rosalina walked sat down in her rocking chair with a book in her hand, she couldn't bring herself to open the book. Her thoughts were too occupied with the new story Mario had told her today. This particular story sparked her interest. Most of the time, Mario would tell Rosalina about the various times he had saved Princess Peach from Bowser but every now and then, there would be a story of a completely different nature. Today, Mario told Rosalina of how he and his friends participated in a tournament of soccer. 'Super Mario Strikers was it?' She thought. Mario told her of the victories, defeats, and even the rules that came with soccer. The sport sounded dangerous to Rosalina but she was inclined to trying it out some time…If she was ever given the chance…
The game of Super Mario Strikers was only one of the many stories Mario told Rosalina about that didn't involve saving a princess from a villain. There was the many Mario Parties Mario was involved in. There was Mario Tennis. There was one that involved Olympics. There was Mario Golf and there was even a story for some dance dance revolution adventure Mario had. Rosalina could only imagine how each experience truly felt.
There was a time where Rosalina was invited to participate in an experience similar to Mario's. It involved karting. Rosalina couldn't think of a time where she felt as much fun as she did in the grand prix for Mario Kart. It was intense, dangerous, and outrageous at times but Rosalina savored every minute. It was her first time ever driving anything that wasn't a space ship but she had a knack for driving. She may not have gotten first place but third place wasn't so bad out twelve considering this was her first time. Rosalina smiled at the thought of holding her third place trophy in front of a sea of screaming fans. She may not have gotten a chance to make many friends during the grand prix but every moment was spent in euphoria. Most of the time she tried to make friends, it would go in vain simply due to the fact that she spent most of her concentration on avoiding shells and explosions. Eventually her efforts were successful and she befriended Peach and Daisy. Soon enough, she become good friends with both and actually had what many people called "best friends."
Rosalina smiled at that thought but was immediately interrupted with a ringing coming from her main computer. She got up from her rocking chair and went to find the cause behind the ringing computer. When she arrived to the computer, the ringing stopped and the screen looked normal. 'Hmm…That's strange…I must be hearing things.' She left the computer alone, turned around, and saw a small shape of a rectangle on the ground. Rosalina got a better look of the rectangle and indentified it as an envelope. She picked up the envelope and saw her name written in cursive on the front with no return address. 'Odd…' She turned the envelope around and saw a sticker of a mushroom that kept the envelope closed. She removed the sticker and pulled out the letter in the envelope. Before she could even read the first sentence, a white light blasted through the room and wind swirled all around her. Rosalina didn't know what was going on but she knew enough to know that she was being transported somewhere.
Once the winds and white lights died down, Rosalina looked at her surroundings and saw that she was standing in front of Mushroom Castle. To her left, Rosalina saw a group of familiar faces that could only be Mario and his friends he often talked about in his stories. Still holding on to her letter, Rosalina could only wonder, 'Why am I here?'
A/N: This is my first fanfiction so I'm sorry that if you think it sucks but believe me when I say this, it will get better. I'd really appreciate it if you could review and tell me your opinions. Thank you =)
