It was a brisk, summer morning as Mario awakened to the sun light shining through his window, as did his brother. The rest of the Mushroom Kingdom were awakening as well, yawning and beginning a new day.

Mario and Luigi began their daily routine of getting dressed and ready, as was everyone else.

"Sooo, who's turn is it to make Breakfast?" Mario asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"I thoouuugh it was your turn?" Said Luigi with a yawn.

"I'm pretty sure it was you, remember yesterday when I took us out to the new Mushroom Cafe?" Said Mario.

"Oh yeah..."

The brothers made their way to the Kitchen and Luigi started to go through the cupboards for ingredients. Then Mario saw Luigi put on something very interesting...

"Why are you wearing an apron?" Mario asked, he noticed that the apron had pink straps, and he grinned has he thought what was on the other side.

Luigi stood there for a moment, then sighed and turned and faced Mario, who almost fell out of his chair with laughter. The front of the apron had a cute bunnie eating a mushroom.

"Shut Up!" Said Luigi, blushing with embarrassment, "Daisy gave it to me as a present when we left the cafe, thought that it could help me with the cooking, she said I could make a wonderful cook.."

This only made Mario laugh even more, and Luigi just sighed and went back to cooking.

Mario, still laughing though not has hard, went to the fridge and poured himself some Mushroom Juice. As soon has he had sat back now, there was a knock on the door.

"You get it." Said Luigi "I'm busy making Breakfast here."

Mario took a sip of some Mushroom Juice and made his way to the door. The knocking was getting louder and more rapid that when Mario got to the door, he was surprised that the door break and fall on him.

"Hold on, hold on!" yelled Mario has he began to open the door, and as soon as he did, he saw a Toad running in, his eyes closed and his fist flailing in the air.

"MARIO,MARIO,MARIO." He yelled has he ran past Mario and ran into Luigi, who was holding a bowl of Mushcake mix in his hands.

"Hey!" Said Luigi as he fell to the floor "Watch where your going!"

As he said this the bowl of mix fell onto the Toads head, he was still screaming Mario's name when he suddenly said "Wow this is delicious..."

Mario grinned, but Luigi got up and yelled "Why are you barging in on us like this? What's the problem?"

It was as though the Toad had a major mood swing, as he started rubbing his eyes, crying. Mario noticed when all of the mix had come off his eyes, that they were very red, as though he had cried very hard... "He can't be no less then 8 years old." Mario thought. He went towards the Toad and put his hands on his shoulders and said "Hey little guy, what's the matter?"

The Toad sniffed and snuffled, he wasn't crying anymore, though he was shaking as though he was just shocked, his works came out weirdly.

"Mmmmario PPrincess Pechh...shes...shes..."

"Kidnapped again?" Said Luigi, sighing. "Seriously, you'd think Bowser would have lost interest by-"

"She's dead." said the Toad quietly, has a single tear went down his face.

It was as if a blizzard had suddenly come into the room, both Mario and Luigi were frozen with shock...
