The Perfect Diamond
chapter 1
It was a hot, bright sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom. The bees were buzzing, the birds were singing and- "HELLO" came a voice from a loud, disturbing toad interrupting the peace. It was only 6 am in the morning and still, the citizens of the kingdom were still up, spreading their happiness and love to the world, but this did not disturb the superstar heroes from their much needed peaceful slumber.
Mario and Luigi were still in bed, when at this time they were normally awake. I don't blame them, after the day they went through yesterday, I would oversleep too. You may be wondering, what happened to make them so tired? Well, I shall tell you.
It is because of King Koopa (better known as Bowser), he got his dirty claws on the princess AGAIN. No big surprise there, but this time he actually USED his brain to sneak into the castle, surprise the guards by tying them up in rope and stole the fair Princess Toadstool, (also better known as Princess Peach). That meant the Mario bros had their work cut out for them... AGAIN.
They were expected to have this glorious plan to save the Mushroom Kingdom's monarch, which is easier said than done. The icing on the cake was the bros had to do it on their own, yellow toad would help them with their mission normally. However, this time he was filling in for Dr. Toadley, as he was on an expedition for more herbs and power up's for the MKMC (Which if you want to know, stands for 'Mushroom Kingdom's Medical Centre'). This was basically, the WORST idea conceived by Toad kind... EVER. Yellow kept mixing up the pills and treating the ill toads with a bubble wand, yeah, guess what happened there. He was so accurate with his aim; ironically, he hit everyone in the eye SEVERAL times, including Toadsworth. The "father" figure of Princess Toadstool and secretly, Mario and Luigi. Due to the disaster that unfolded, Toadsworth put himself in charge of the hospital, until Dr. Toadley came back. Which went A LOT better than before, but Yellow had to stay behind to be Toadsworth's assistant, which meant no adventures with the bros.
Then there was Toad, one of the Mushroom Retainers who had to fill in when Toadsworth took charge of the hospital. With the monarch out of commission, someone must fill in until the Princess returned. This was meant to be Toadsworth's job, but as he was at the hospital, Toad had to fill in. He was going with Mario and Luigi until the job fell upon him like a sack of potatoes. So Toad was now out, which meant only Yoshi was left.
Finally, they had to rule out Yoshi. The only reason was he went off looking for fruit... 5 DAYS AGO! As Yoshi's love fruit and there are so many fruit patches in the Mushroom Kingdom ALONE, not counting the other 10 KINGDOMS. There was no time to look for 1 Yoshi, so they left him behind.
With no one except each other, they thought the best plan was to infiltrate Bowser's castle with brute force and rescue Princess Peach. Which worked, but only by the skin of their teeth (This is WHY we have battle plans BOYS). Mario used a fire flower and not an ice flower like Luigi, which Bowser is immune to (elements are key to battles which the enemy is weak to). Mario got knocked out, which only left Luigi to take down the King of the Koopas. With his experience with this type of power up, King Koopa was defeated and the Princess was rescued. Luigi carried Mario back home to bed, tucked him in and kissed on the cheek, before heading to dreamland himself.
*Tomorrow* he thought to himself, *I will have to do my diary entry, I'm too tired tonight*. So with that promise to himself in his mind, Luigi turned in for the night. He dreamed about what was going to happen tomorrow.
