The missing Princess

I own NOTHING except my oc Lucky Koopa

Everything else belongs to Nintendo

Chapter 1

All was peaceful in the land of the Mushroom Kingdom. The sun was out, the birds were chirping and in the castle library two mischievous creatures were wandering through the empty stalls. Empty because no one wanted to be inside studying on a great day like today.

One of the boys was Yoshi, the green dino and resident of Yoshi's island. He is also Mario and Luigi's closest friend and companion on many adventures over the years they've know each other. The other boy was a little younger than Yoshi. He is a Parakoopa wearing a smooth teal coloured shell with machining shoes and white feathered wings poking through his shell, which were folded in rest.

"hey Lucky, are you sure we should be in here? I mean… only the royal family are allowed past this point. It says so here." Yoshi said to his friend as they passed the :Do not enter!: Sign. "But Yoshi, You know all the best secrets are kept behind closed doors." Lucky wined childishly. Yoshi sighed "yes Lucky, but we aren't on Choco Mountain anymore, so I don't think there will be any triple chocolate fug filled cookies with chocolate super Sunday surprise and-" "OK,OK I get it already sheesh" Lucky cut Yoshi off suddenly to avoid another long chocolate based discussion. "hehehe, sorry Lucky, I got a bit carried away there, but you know how I get whenever I think about that large… edible Mountain." Yoshi said drooling. Lucky sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head "you were getting a little more than carried away Yoshi." Lucky whispered to himself in fact, the only thing the only way you'd see Birdo's affection for you would be if she covered herself in chocolate and- Lucky was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by Yoshi clicking his fingers in front of his face. "yoohoo earth to Lucky come in Lucky" he said comically trying to get the Koopa's attention. Lucky looked up and smirked "Yeah, I'm here Yoshi. So, lets GO!" Lucky cheered and ran off further into the library, but not far enough to avoid Yoshi's long tongue which was wrapping around his shell and pulling him back.

"Hey hold on Lucky, won't Peach's guard toads stop us?" Yoshi asked looking around nervously for the guards. Lucky squirmed out of Yoshi's tongue, shivering a little from the drool before turning to the concerned dino. "Nah, don't worry Yoshi I haven't seen any guards on duty today, they're probably slacking off as usual or outside in the sun pretending to watch over the Princesses. Not like they're needed since Mario and Luigi are here… in fact, I don't think I've seen anybody on duty anywhere today." He said looking thoughtful for a moment. "Hmm, maybe they've been given off duty time since Bowser only kidnapped Peach a week ago and won't be expected for another three weeks now." Yoshi said shrugging his shoulders a little. Lucky stopped his train of thought and

grinned widely "we;; whatever the reason is, there is no one to stop us from ruling this place, so lets go do some snooping!" Lucky cheered again and pulled Yoshi along further into the restricted section.

Yoshi sighed. This had better be worth the time I'm spending He thought as he allowed himself to be pulled along by the hyperactive Parakoopa.

-Two hours later-

"Oh for crying out loud Lucky, two hours dude, really?" Yoshi cried out, his annoyed tone echoing throughout the empty halls of the library. "aww c-mon Yoshi, like you once told me. The best things in life are worth the wait." Lucky said, reciting the last sentence in a philosophical tone. Yoshi folded his arms and shook his head in disbelief "yeah, but like I also said, we're not on Choco Mountain anymore. So I doubt there will be anything interesting for me here." Lucky turned around and looked at Yoshi. "But Yoshi, books are a treasure trove, you could learn so much from them." Yoshi lost his patience a little. "Lucky, it's a lovely day outside yet I'm stuck in here with you. Man you're 16 years old now and you act like a baby, you made me come in here and not even bothered to tell me what we're looking for. So for the last time Lucky, what are we looking for?" Yoshi asked, doing his best to hold himself back from shouting at his friend.

Lucky stepped back and blushed a little bit. "Well, ehehe I really don't know. I was hoping to find something good but-" Lucky was cut off from finishing by Yoshi face palming and groaning loudly. "oh forget it Lucky, I knew I should have never come with you on another stupid lookabout. That's it! I'm leaving." Yoshi said stamping on the ground hard one of the smaller books above Lucky was knocked off the rack and falling on his head. Lucky caught the book and rubbed his head, watching Yoshi leave. Lucky sighed "ok Yoshi you go have fun in the sun while I- hey look at this, it's the Royal families family tree!" Lucky exclaimed surprised and a little excited.

Yoshi blinked and shot back to Lucky's side. "What are you waiting for dude? Open it, open it, open it, open it!" Yoshi said giddily as Lucky opened not a book, but a large sheet of folded paper. The paper was so large it had to be sprawled out on the floor to be fully seen. On the paper it showed the various kings and queens of the time before Peach. "Oh, the founders and original king and queen were toads?" Yoshi said interested. "Looks like it, and look, they were toads for generations. I wonder when the change happened." Lucky replied, his eyes scanning the page for when the change was.

"Well, here's Peach." Yoshi pointed out, finding her name and picture near the bottom of the paper and following it up. "Ok, her mother and father were humans; we know… her grandparents were humans, as were her great grandparents soo… ah here!" Yoshi called out, pointing to peaches great, great grandparents. Lucky leaned over "ohh, I see, her great, great grandmother was the first human was the first human in the line. Then their only son was half toad, half human. He married a human woman, who had a daughter, who married another human man who had a daughter, Peach's mother who married her father so Peach was born… neat" Lucky said clasping his hands together. Yoshi stood up and did a little dance, "we know Peach's family tree" he sang happily a little too excited over it. However Lucky was still looking at the sheet of paper, more at a particular spot on the paper. "Hey Yoshi, look at this" Lucky said pointing to a stain on the page.

Yoshi stopped being silly and looked at what Lucky was pointing at. "Yeah? It's just a stain Lucky, what of it?" Lucky Blinked "It branches off from Peach look" Lucky pointed out a very faint line coming from Peach's parents. "Soo, what? You think Peach has another family member?" Yoshi asked looking closely at the page. Lucky shrugged. "Well, we won't know until we clean this stain" He sniffs the stain "it smells a little like coffee." Lucky said and went to lick the stain off the paper. "God Lucky that's gross!" Yoshi called, shocked at what Lucky was about to do. Lucky looked at Yoshi "what?" he asked confused. "Lucky… that stain could have been there for centuries" Yoshi replied face palming.

Lucky shook his head, "well considering Peach is only 23 years old, and the line goes past a little bit past Peach meaning that whoever is under the stain could be at least 20, meaning the stain is about that old as well. Give or take." He argued back. "That doesn't make it any better Lucky!" Yoshi said folding his arms, knowing Lucky would do it anyway. Lucky Shrugged and predictably started licking the paper, much to Yoshi's dismay. "You're grouse man" Yoshi said feeling a little queasy. Lucky stopped licking the page and gave his friend a look. "I've seen you eat worse stuff." He said before returning to licking the stain off. "That, uhh, they were… aww screw you Lucky!" Yoshi sighed in defeat causing Lucky to smirk. After another two minutes the stain was washing off and the picture underneath was becoming visible. "Ok Lucky, I think I can see it now. You can stop." Yoshi said crawling over to Lucky who pulled away and spat away the terrible tasting coffee taste from his mouth. "not so smug now are you" Yoshi said mockingly to the Koopa "shut up and look at the page" Lucky replied and leaned over, as did Yoshi. They saw who it was. Their eyes widened and their pupils shrunk in disbelief. "No… way…" Yoshi said slowly "I-I wasn't expecting that…" Lucky added equally as surprised. Yoshi blinked and rubbed his eyes to make sure he was seeing correctly. "The missing Princess. Its, Its."
