They finally reached it, the building of 'Mrs. Jaioublie', as the Water Sage had told them. Starlow examined the building.
"Well… It's extremely… flashy, I'll say. Come on! We need to retrieve that Mirror!" Starlow told them, as Mario and Luigi jumped in approval.
"Oh yeah."
"Let's-a go!"
They walked into the building, greeted by a potent scent of various hair beauty products.
"Ah, visitors, how nice, I haven't had company for 101,010,101,101,101,001,011,100,010,111,000,101,110 years! I think…" The Bros. gave a glance at each other, before they explained their situation. The feminine spirit jumped in surprise, clasping her hands to her mouth.
"Oh, my, of course you need a mirror! Look at you; you look like you've been fighting monsters for the past month!" The Bros. sweat dropped, as Starlow pouted impatiently.
"…and those clothes, why, they're much too tattered and worn out! Here, I must give you a makeover!" The Bros. took a step back, as Starlow sighed.
"Listen, we know that you'd like to help us look nice, and I'm guessing you've been lonely living here for so long… but the mirror. I promise, when we're done with what we need to do, we'll visit again. The world is in great danger, and if we dawdle…" The spirit shook her head, running across the room.
"Why, there mustn't be any rush! The two mustaches, they should look intimidating! I see that you emare/em fighting monsters, but ripped clothes shall bear you no help. Here, have these boots, and overalls, gloves, oh, an accessory can't hurt!" The spirit tossed them a few items, which the Bros. gladly accepted.
"Oh, um… thanks! But, we really, really need to get going." Starlow said to the spirit. The spirit wagged her fingers, floating up to Starlow.
"My, young lady, those mustaches, they are masculine figures, looking rough can be admired, but you, young lady… Put a little makeup on! I'm guessing you don't do the fighting… and yet, you wear nothing but those tiny shoes of yours! It just can't be a pretty sight…" Starlow fumed.
"Hey! What I do with my looks is my choice! Don't tell me how to dress!" The spirit stopped, turning to Starlow. It jumped, floating straight to Starlow.
"Ah, my dear, I did not mean to offend! But we definitely need to reconsider your style!"
*10 HOURS LATER…*
"Wait, it's only been 5 minutes, what are you talking about?" The spirit shook her head, silencing Starlow and handing her a hand mirror, which she levitated in front of her. Starlow looked at her reflection. The spirit really didn't do anything; she had 3 eyelashes now for some reason, a little bit of blue eye shadow, and tiniest trace of blush. The star above her also seemed shinier, but that might have been her imagination.
"Now, go on, my dear! I hope you well on your travels! Ooh, socializing is such a tire, no wonder I've stayed here so long!" The spirit waved a fan, laughing.
"Um… thanks… But I'm serious, we really need that mirror." Starlow said, turning to face the Spirit.
…
"YOU FOOL!"
The spirit growled. Starlow jumped back in surprise.
"I JUST GAVE YOU THE MIRROR!" Starlow looked to the hand mirror, blinking in surprise.
"GET OUT!" The spirit shouted, and the Bros. ran out with the mirror, Starlow trailing behind.
"Well, that was definitely… interesting." Starlow turned to the Bros., who pulled out the mirror. Starlow took it, staring at her reflection.
"Well, we got three of the artifacts, I guess we… Oh, my… I do look very nice…" Starlow smiled at her reflection.
"Aw, aren't you just the cutest thing ever? Yes you are, yes you are!" Starlow nuzzled the hand mirror, as Mario and Luigi sweat dropped.
"Oh, you're just the prettiest… How is it that a wonderful girl like you still doesn't have someone special? I bet they'd all tell you how beautiful you are, and how much they love you…" The Bros. looked to each other, sighing.
"You know what, I should ask!" Starlow exclaimed.
"Mario, do you love me?" Starlow gave him a wide smile and an affectionate purr.
Mario called Luigi's name, who nodded, and they both ran as fast as they could.
