Chapter 1. Simple Deception
It was a quiet day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Yoshi was doing his daily job of sitting in his house doing nothing all day while eating various things. While he was wondering what he should have for lunch, he heard someone knocking at his door. Yoshi usually doesn't mail or visitors unless it's an emergency, so naturally he thought someone was here for something important. Could it be a special delivery of Princess Peach's delicious cake? Or maybe a lifetime supply of fresh salads? Nevertheless, he was excited for some reason. Yoshi rushed over to his door to see what surprise awaited him on the other side. When he opened the door, he saw a suspicious man who he had never seen before. He was tall and covered in a black cloak, like he was trying to hide from someone. The mysterious man slipped something into Yoshi's hand and then faded away in some sort of red mist. That was weird. Oh well, Yoshi wasn't worried about him anyway. All he cared about was what he got. It was a letter with a golden seal. Yoshi tore off the seal and looked at what it said. "CoME to tOAd SquARE At 1300. TheRE WILL bE something yoU aRE quite fAMiliAR wITH there." The letter was hastily written and barely legible, especially for Yoshi, who had a hard time reading already. It was also clearly suspicious, with no sender and being delivered by a mysterious man. Yoshi, however, wasn't concerned about that, and heading over to Toad Square just for the heck of it. Maybe he was bored? Or maybe he was still pressed about the possibility of sa~lads. Regardless, he headed to Toad Square oblivious of what was to come… (P.S It has something to do with cake)
Meanwhile, in Bowser's Castle…
Bowser was sitting in his office that he totally has and that I didn't just make up doing paperwork or something like that. He was really tired from staying up all night thinking up of a new plan to kidnap Peach. Maybe this time she would actually give him some of her world famous cake. "Ugh… after all this time, no matter how much I kidnap her, she still won't give me her cake! GRR. If only she would give me some already, she'd stop getting kidnapped! Doesn't she realize that already!?" Bowser yelled angrily. He was feeling the #anger #regret but then he got really tired and fell asleep. After some time passed, he woke up with a river of drool on his desk and something unfamiliar on his head. It was a letter with a golden seal. "Huh…? What's this?" Bowser was confused, and at the same time, kind of angry (When isn't he angry). "I swear if this is a prank, SOMEONE is getting thrown into the lava pit!" Bowser exclaimed as he angrily tore open the letter. Inside was feminine looking text that looked really cute. "Hello Bowser. I have something for you. It's something you have been wanting for a long time. Please, come to Toad Square at 1:00 P.M. I'll be waiting for you!" Bowser was confused. Where did this letter come from? Why does it have no sender? More importantly, why was the handwriting identical to Peach's? "But… could this really be Peach's handwriting? No… there's no mistaking it. This is her handwriting!" Bowser said excitedly. However he soon realized something. "If she wrote this letter then… does that mean…?!" Bowser suddenly jolted from his chair. "Is she finally going to give me the thing I've wanted all this time!? The thing I've been slaving away my entire life for!?" Bowser rushed out of his office and started heading towards Toad Square. Little did he know, he wasn't the only one being deceived…
