Hey-o, yes...it's me...Raphadelia the Adventuress. And I am writing yet another series for Mario...XD

As you may (or may not) have read in the summary, this is indeed a series of one-shots with all the possibilities my weird mind can scrape up with for couples in the Mushroom World. Ranging from anyone or anything, I will begin with my own little scrambler, but after the second chapter it's all up to you guys~

So we start with our classic red sporting hero, Mario, and the lovely Nastasia.

Ha-ha...lets see how this ends XD

"What do you think of this one, too much? Or not enough?" Princess Peach asked.

The normal frilly and 'pretty in pink' princess was attempting to find a new trademark style after Wendy O. Koopa insulted her attire in their latest run-in. Of course, after Mario saved her she couldn't stop pondering over whether her look was old-fashioned or still in style.

With a request of assistance from her favorite hero, Mario, the two were now in Peach's bedroom going through her entire wardrobe of dresses, gowns, and frocks. Currently Peach was wearing yet another similar pink gown that resembled the others so much, Mario became suspicious of the princess putting on the same dress.

"Uh princess, are all your gowns and stuff, pink and frilly?" Mario asked in annoyance.

"...Hmm...I think this one would go nice with a white sash. Better yet, make it pink." The princess murmured.

The hero threw his hands up, completely defeated. "All hopes of this kingdom's survival just went out the window like your out-of-seasoned dresses!"

The blonde stopped admiring her image in her mirror and turned to Mario in shock. "You really think my dresses are out of season?"

Mario groaned. "I guess you missed the part where I said your kingdom is doomed because you care more about your looks than people?"

The sovereign pouted. "Then I guess I really am outta style, huh?" She shrugged. "We'll just go to the Mushroom Market and pick me up an entirely new wardrobe."

This really sent the hero over the edge. He got up from the chair he was seated in and prepared to toss it out of Peach's open window, when Luigi came bursting into the bedroom.

"Princess Peach! Mario! There are intruders at the West-"

Princess Peach raised a hand, cutting off the green clad hero. "Hold it there bub, don't you know it's rude to enter a woman's bedroom without knocking?"

Luigi's eyes twitched before he raised a hand to knock on the open door.

"Alright, now you may speak."

"Okay, well there are intruders at the Western Gates...they're threatening to launch a full-scale attack if we don't meet their demands." Luigi explained half-heartedly.

"Oh, really? Well they're gonna have to wait until after I go shopping. Come on Mario." The princess waved over her fellow hero.

Luigi's jaw dropped as his brother followed the princess out of her room. He shrugged as they walked past. "Hey, just go with it."

"B-but...the intruders..."

"I'll deal with it when I get back. Be a good younger Bro and hold 'em off. 'Kay? Thanks, you're the best."

Luigi huffed and turned heel for the Western Gates where the Koopalings were patiently waiting for his return.

The green-hatted hero rubbed the back of his neck as he returned to the gate. "Uh, she said she'll be back later. She has to go shopping first..." Luigi told them.

"It's cool bro, we can wait." Roy Koopa answered carelessly.

Awkward silence.

"So anyone see any good movies?" Lemmy Koopa started.

"I hear Divergent is pretty good." Luigi replied.

"I read that series. Bummer ending, but really awesome plot." Morton Koopa chuckled.

"Aww man, you guys catch Catching Fire?" Larry Koopa asked.

"Oh my shell. Best. Movie. Ever." Wendy squealed. "And Finnick?"

"So hot." Iggy Koopa snapped with attitude.

Mario and the princess were trailing down the busy, bustling boulevard of Mushroom Market. Toads of all variants were going from shop to shop for the best sales, items, and more.

"Oh a two for one, princess. Good deal for this time of day." Mario commented.

"Yeah, that is. Remind me to go there later..."

The two continued in search of the princess's favorite dress retail: Sophisticated in Pink.

Continuing to push their way down the street, Mario paused at one of his favorite stores in the Mushroom Kingdom: Game Pipe.

"Hey princess, I'm gonna go check out some new releases, you mind waiting?"

The princess waved away his words as she caught interest at a jewelers table. "Just meet me at the place we're going to..." She trailed off as she picked up a pretty pearl necklace. "Yes, mama needs some new pearls. How much does this cost?" She asked the saleswoman.

Mario shoved his hands in his pockets as he wandered down the isles looking for a new release from Nintendo.

"Alright!" He smiled at an 'Upcoming Releases' sign. "The new Mario Kart 8 is coming out in May!"

"May thirtieth to be exact, well in North America anyway." A voice giggled behind him.

Mario raised an eyebrow and turned to face the informant only to find his ex-enemy: Nastasia.

"I heard the Koopalings are gonna be in this one. Finally get some more play time after all those years, am I right?" Mario chuckled.

Nastasia adjusted her glasses shyly and nodded. "Yeah, I heard they're trying to 'move on to bigger and badder things'."

The two shared laughter on the topic before moving on to the next games. "You ever just stay in the store for hours and hours playing the video games on display?" Nastasia asked as they passed a 3DS game display stand.

"Yeah, but Peach normally gets on my case like 'those video games'll rot your brain!'. What is she my grandma?"

Nastasia shook her head. "Sounds like you've got a major case of a nag. Want me to pencil her in for a one o'clock brainwashing?"

Mario rolled his eyes. "Now Nastasia, you promised to not do evil stuff anymore."

"I know...I just miss brainwashing for the Count, is all..."

The red clad hero placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Hey...cheer up. He's in a better place now."

This only made the ex-villainess's eyes water.

Mario sighed and brought the girl in for a hug. "Shh...don't cry...it'll be chill. Just think about how close we are to May thirtieth.."

The girl sniffled and pulled herself away from Mario's shoulder. She removed her glasses and wiped the tears out of her eyes as she spoke. "S-sorry. I haven't really had a chance to get all my tears out since that day. I just miss him so much... Lady Timpani is so lucky to have him..."

"Yeah, well sometimes the world is screwed up like that. Just depends on who've you got to catch you whenever you fall ya'know?"

Nastasia smiled and placed her glasses back on. "Then I'm glad I can count on an old enemy to make me feel better. Thanks Mario."

"Happy to help, now if you'll excuse me, I mustache now. If I stay any longer Peach'll nag about how long it took me to look at the games. Peace."

Nastasia giggled as Mario left the store to wait hand and foot on the picky blonde.

"Uh-huh. We saw that, Nastasia."

The blue-skinned secretary turned to find Mimi and O'Chunks, her old co-workers, grinning at her.

"Saw what?" She huffed. "Me associating with an old enemy?"

"That's not all what we saw ya doin', lass." O'Chunks snorted.

"We saw that hug." Mimi giggled and shape-shifted into Nastasia. "Oh Mario, what ever could I do without you? You're such a big, strong guy. I'm so glad a hunk like you was here to lend me your shoulder."

The blue secretary turned pink in embarrassment. "I do not sound like that! A-and there's nothing wrong with asking someone to lend a hand while you cry!"

"Yeah, well we know you and your new boyfriend are gonna be together foreves." Mimi smirked, still in Nastasia's slim form. "And I know I can rock this look anytime I want."

"You'd better shape-shift back or so help me!" Nastasia picked up an idle game controller and raised it to strike.

"Alright alright!" Mimi put up her hands. "After...I go ask Mario out for you!" With that she ran out of the store with Nastasia close on her heels.

O'Chunks shook his head. "Women..."

"Excuse me sir, is there something I can help you with?" A salesman asked him from behind the stand.

"Huh? Oh, naw brah. It's all good."

"Just chillin'?"

"Yeah..."

The salesman nodded. "You see the Lego Movie?"

XD I liked that. I should write a fan-fic just for 'Mustasia' (a pun on Mario's mustache and Nastasia's name)

((Another thing..."mustache" is not an error...that is meant to be there...anything else may be an error XD))

Anyway, I thought it was a little OOC for Mario, Luigi, the Koopalings, Peach...heck almost every character except for Mimi in this chapter, but that is the point of humor, right? XD

If anyone would like to put in a request now, that's cool, if not: Morton Jr. X Princess Peach will be next.

Note: If the character you request has died in its game series (i.e. Count Bleck, Tippi, etc.) they can still be used as if they were alive...If I know nothing of the character (Bowletta, Prince Peasly...so on) I will use the Internet and do as best as I can to portray the character in either a humorous or accurate way. Otherwise, c'est la vie.

Another thing...I gotta give cred to BellaVie for writing 'Lemmy Koopa after Mimi' which inspired me to write 'The Most Unlikely of Couples'

Until next post! (Probably within the next hour...)
