FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS! WOOOT WOOT!
Chapter 1
"When do you think the prince will come?" a pink doll princess asked her orange counterpart, "I do not know Peach... When Lyra brings her!" the orange one responded, mentioning the young girl who owns both of them, "Oh... I heard that he is the most charming man in the toy store, Daisy!" Peach said as she moved her plastic fingers, "We'll see who he chooses." Daisy chuckled as she fixed her buttons.

"Sire!" a toy soldier told the Toy King seated on his small throne, "I hope it is no bad news, soldier..." the King said, "My kingdom is prosperous!" he said and pointed to the other toys working on the house they resided in, "Then you will have no problem with these news." the soldier responded as he was being wound up by a servant, "A new toy is arriving... A prince." "Oh?" the King said in shocks "Well... when is Lyra coming back?" he asked, "I do not know... the scouts have not reported." the soldier responded, "So.. A prince? He will be looking for a princess, no?" the King mumbled, "Well... We'd best get prepared for his arrival!"

"Mommy!" a young girl yelled at her mother, "Look!" she said and pointed at the road of the Victorian style town, "Oh?" the mother said as they both investigated, seeing it was a beat up green soldier toy, "Can I him, Mommy!?" the girl pleaded, jumping up and down. "Well, Lyra..." the woman mumbled, "Alright... But no toys for another month, okay?" she said, "Alright.." Lyra grumbled as she picked up the toy, "What's your name?" she said and looked around the soldier's body. "Come on, Lyra!" the girl's mother called as she started to walk off, "Luigi.." Lyra read the welded name on the toy's metallic body, "Oh! Going mom!" she said as she dashed off.

"The girl is coming!" the tin scouts reported, and the "Toy Kingdom" ceased to work, all members, including the King, dropping back to lifelessness. "Hello, guys!" Lyra said as she came in, "I have a new toy!" she said as she pulled out a red prince figure toy, "I call him Mario!" she said and placed him in the "Royal court". "Lyra! Come get your lunch!" her mother called from the kitchen, "Mom!" Lyra grumbled, "Now!" her mother responded harshly, "Fine.." Lyra growled, "I'll be back you guys.." she whispered to her toys and left.
"Alright!" the King said, seeing his new visitor, "Who are you?" "It's a me... Mario!" Mario responded and bowed, "I came to a be part of your kingdom!" "Oh?" the King said, "And how do you plan to do that?" "By-a marrying one of your princesses!" Mario responded, "Well... I only have two disposable now..." the King grumbled and rubbed his beard. "Just-a show me the way!" Mario said and was escorted off.
"Oh Lyra..." the girl's mom grumbled as she entered her toy ridden room, "Look..." she said as she spotted the broken toy they found on the street, "She can't keep this.." she mumbled, picked it up, and walked off.

"Who are you?" a small mouse asked the green soldier that was placed in his property, "Huh..." the soldier, Luigi, sighed, "Did Master bring you?" "Uh huh..." Luigi grunted as he touched the dents on his tin surface, "Oh... And I guess the big human did not want you." the mouse said, seeing he was in the basement, "Not the first time..." Luigi grumbled and stood up. "What is up with him?" a lizard popped out from an old sock, "Everything.." Luigi responded and grabbed his metal rifle, "Oh... That's too bad.." a spider came down from her web, "Want to talk about it?" "No..." Luigi told her, "It is a thing of lament..." "Why?" the mouse asked him, "Huh... I was in a war..." Luigi grumbled, "A revolution in my past house, but it failed and I was left to die..." "Oh my." the lizard said, "That's not the worst news..." Luigi grumbled, "The revolution was against my own brother... who is here right now..." he sighed, "You mean the prince?" a beetle came out from a hole, "Yep." Luigi responded, "He will probably kill me on sight." "So... Are you going to talk to anyone else, like toys?" the spider asked, "No... I wish to seek no ties with the toys of this household..." Luigi told her, "Why not?" the lizard asked, "I am a man of sorrows, no one cared for me since or now... I sung laments but no one mourned!" "Why did you go against your brother?" the beetle asked and laid down next to him. "He became evil, a corrupt ruler filled with greed for vanity and had excessive haughtiness!" Luigi said, "Here... Let me help you!" the mouse said as he inspected his dents, "Nay..." Luigi mumbled, "May these dents testify the damnation of my creation!" "But no friends?" the spider said in shock, "Well... Can we be your friends?" the lizard asked, "Huh..." Luigi sighed, "Very well... Since you have been the only ones kind enough to hear my words... But be warned, my heart has become like the tin I was made from... It is cold and hard..." "Sorry to hear it." the mouse mumbled, "Don't... I do not want to trouble you with my burdens..." Luigi told him, "But that's what friends do!" the spider said as she made a web, "We care about you!", Luigi only sighed at her words...

"Hm..." Mario said as he inspected the two princesses, "Ah.." he said as he saw Daisy, "Aren't you a pretty sight?" "Thank you." Daisy chuckled, making Peach fume with jealousy, "And you?" Mario turned to Peach, "You are very nice..." "Have you made your decision?" the King asked, "No, both your princesses are very beautiful." Mario responded, turning to him, "But I may want to now more about her." he pointed to Daisy, shocking Peach, "Very well, you can take her tomorrow, alright?" the King told him...

"So... What are we going to do?" the beetle sighed as the group loafed around in the basement, "I like what we are doing now..." Luigi mumbled as he wiped his rifle, "It negates social interactions... Something I don't want right now..." "Oh brother.." the lizard grumbled, "Can you at least be a little sociable?" "I am... I am talking to you all right now, am I not?" Luigi said, "That is true..." the mouse sighed, but then raised his ears up in alert, "Oh no!" he yelled, "We have to leave!" "Is he here already!?" the spider gasped, "Yes!" the mouse responded, "Who?" Luigi asked, quite perplexed. "The Mouse King- Er, Mouser King!" the beetle told him, "Come Luigi! You are in grave danger!" the mouse said and carried him behind a box, and all the other creatures scurried off to hide.
"Who is that?!" Luigi mumbled as a large mouse with royal clothing stepped into the basement, accompanied by others of his kind, "That's the Mouse King..." the mouse mumbled, "But known as King Mouser... Or the Mouser King... You don't want to meet him, he hates toys." he warned, "Why?" Luigi asked, "About 3 years ago, he and the toys got into a war, and he lost his queen because of it... Since then, he has sworn vengeance on the current Toy King." the rodent explained, "And why are you not with him?" Luigi asked again, "I don't believe his ways are right... so I left..." the mouse mumbled.
"Subjects!" the Mouser King yelled, "A new age will dawn upon this human house, an Age of Mice! We will fight the King when he is at his weakest, which is now! We will march our offensive tomorrow at midnight!" "Aye!" his rodent subjects yelled.
"They are going to attack the toy Kingdom!" the spider gasped as she lowered herself via web, "I know..." the mouse mumbled, "It will be a horrible thing if they win!" "Why is the King at his weakest?" Luigi asked, then the beetle popped out of a hole, "They probably know that the King is dying and he is attending an heir!" he alerted, "Will you help your kind?" the spider asked Luigi, "No..." Luigi mumbled, "But you know what they are planning, you can warn them!" the mouse said, "And be seen and humiliated by my brother?" Luigi growled, "No way!" "But you can be a hero!" the beetle told him, "I am no hero.." Luigi said, "I led a disastrous revolution which worsened my previous home... I am a failure..." "No you are not!" the lizard appeared, "Now go help them!" "Yeah!" the beetle added, "You want to see another household in despair?!" the spider said, "No..." Luigi mumbled, "Then tell them of the attack!" the mouse yelled and shook him, "Fine! In the morning!" Luigi growled, "Coast is clear!" the spider said as the Mouser King left the premises...

"Goodnight... Lyra.." the girl's mother said as she tucked her into bed, "Night, mom!" Lyra responded, "Huh..." she sighed and wisped off to sleep.
"She's asleep!" a sentry alerted, and the Toy Kingdom came back to life, along with the two princesses...
"Hey Daisy!" Peach said as she walked with her partner in the royal courts, "What's up?" Daisy responded, "I was wondering, before you head off to be courted, if you wanted to walk outside with me?" Peach asked, "Um... Sure... I have the time." Daisy told her, "Good!" Peach said, and as they walked off, she gave an evil smile...
