Toad Town (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)

Natsu was looking around on the request board. "Let's see..."

"Pick a good one!" Happy requested.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Natsu chuckled.

"Let's try not to do a very dangerous one. I almost got killed in the last one." Lucy told him.

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did!" Lucy folded her arms.

"Whatever." Natsu said and then spotted something. "Oh ho! What do we got here?" He asked as he pulled it off of the board. "This looks pretty interesting!"

"What is it?" Lucy asked.

"Finding ancient treasure! Reward is ten thousand jewel!"

"TEN THOUSAND?!" Lucy yelled. "That could help me pay off my rent this month!"

"Hey Mira! Here's a good one!" Natsu slapped it on the counter.

"Let's see here...ah! Finding the ancient treasure in a town called Rogueport." Mira said and then nodded. "Alright, you're all set."

"I'll just go get the team!" Natsu smirked and then ran off.

Erza was eating strawberry shortcake. "Looks like he found one." She said.

"What'd you find?" Gray asked.

"Finding ancient treasure in a town called Rogueport." Natsu replied.

"Rogueport?" Wendy asked.

"Yep." He nodded.

"I'm not so sure about that. I feel like we're going into a town full of rogues." Carla muttered.

"Oh what's the worst that can happen?" Happy asked.

"Let's go guys! On to Rogueport!" Natsu exclaimed as he ran off with the others.

"...Oh shoot, I think I forgot to tell them that they have to get there by boat..." Mira said and then shrugged. "Oh well." She then noticed Juvia watching her darling Gray run off. "Don't worry, Juvia. They'll come back."

"I know." Juvia sighed.

"You know..." Gajeel walked up to Juvia. "I heard that Gray secretly wants you with him on this mission."

"He does?!" Juvia exclaimed as she then ran off.

"Gajeel, you are the worst sometimes." Levy told him.

"Ha! I know." He smirked and then thought about it. Ancient treasure...hmm...I wonder if I can beat Salamander to it... He thought and chuckled. "Come on, shrimp. You're coming with me." He said as he picked her up and took off.

"Hey! Let me go!" Levy exclaimed.

"Come on, Lily! You're coming too."

Pantherlily chuckled. "Alright." He said and then took off after them.

Meanwhile...

"Hey Mario! Where are you?" Luigi looked around.

"Over here, Luigi." Mario waved over to him as he was reading the newspaper.

"Look what came in the mail." Luigi tossed a letter to him as he caught it.

"Oh! From Princess Peach!" Mario grinned as he immediately opened it.

Dear Mario, I am writing this from Rogueport and...despite having a lot of thugs around, it's actually not that bad. Toadsworth complains of the smell but I don't really mind it. Oh, I miss you so much...in fact, can you come over to Rogueport? I'd love it that you'd be here! – Princess Peach

PS. You can bring Luigi too!

Luigi's eyes widened. "I got invited?!"

"You sure did!" Mario grinned. "Come on, bro! We're going to Rogueport!"

"Oh yeah!" Luigi fist pumped as they both took off.

"Mail call!" Parakarry called out a few moments later, but no one answered. "Hello?" He looked around. "Mario? Luigi?" He looked around and then shrugged as he looked at the letter. "From the Waffle Kingdom." He read as he blinked. "You know...I wonder if the Wario Bros will be interested." He said and then flew off.

At Rogueport...

Rogueport (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Peach looked around. "I wonder if they got my letter?" She wondered. "Hmm...I hope they got it."

"Worrying about something?" A voice asked as Peach turned to look at a robed figure.

"I'm worried that the Mario Bros got my letter." She replied.

"Worry not, my dear. They'll come." The figure chuckled. "Would you like to look at my merchandise while you wait?"

"Sure." Peach nodded.

"I highly recommend this box, my dear...it'll...blow you away." She said.

"Mind if I open it to see what's inside?" She asked.

"Go right ahead, my dear...the box is free~"

"Sweet." Peach said as she took it and slowly opened it, as a sudden bright light slowly enveloped the two of them.
