Okay so I was on DA and I saw the pictures of Peach and Mario as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. I started getting inspired and I realized that the Mario characters would fall perfectly in the Sailor Moon storyline so here we are. Anyways, it won't be exactly like Sailor Moon even though it starts off that way.
I don't own the Mario characters or anything Sailor Moon.
Chapter 1
Peach woke up with the sun shining on her already golden hair. She slowly blinked her cerulean eyes against the bright light trying to figure out why she wasn't still sleeping. She leaned over to her right to check the readout on her digital clock and instantly panicked. She only had ten minutes until class began.
"MOM!" Peach hollered through the house. "MY ALARM DIDN'T GO OFF AGAIN!"
Peach was already in her clothes of a hot pink skirt, black leggings, and a light pink sweater and was running a brush through her hair as she sprinted down the stairs.
"Sorry honey, but I did go up there to wake you up. Three times in fact. Now don't forget your lunch on the way out." Her mom told her having never turned around.
Peach mumbled her thanks as she grabbed her lunch and school books while slipping on her shoes. This was actually a normal day for Peach. She had been stuck in this rut for a couple of months now and frankly she was tired of it. She was thinking about this as she ran down the street towards the school building, wondering when things were going to change for her. That's when she heard the hiss of pain and other voices laughing.
Peach stopped and backed up to the parking lot she just passed. Three boys were picking on some sort of animal.
"Hey, stop that!" She yelled at the boys.
They instantly jumped and ran off at the sound of her voice.
"Stupid punks." Peach muttered under her breath as she approached the creature.
As she got closer she could see that it was a rather large pink lizard with a red bow on its head and a bandage on its forehead. The poor thing looked scared to death as Peach bent down to its level.
"There, there, it's okay. Hold still and I'll get that off of you." She cooed as she gently pulled the bandage away.
She gasped as it revealed a golden crescent moon shaped birthmark in the center of its head. Frightened by the noise the lizard scurried backwards, did a flip, and landed on top of a car. Peach was pretty freaked and was trying to decide whether to run or not when she heard the school bell.
"Oh no, I'm so late!" She complained as she forgot the reptile and ran in the direction of the building.
"Ms. Toadstool, you're late again."
"I'm sorry Mr. Toadsworth, it won't happen again."
"I've heard that before." Mr. Toadsworth murmured under his breath.
Ignoring him Peach went to take her spot at her desk next to her best friend Goombella. Goombella had long blonde hair like Peach, but she kept it pulled back in a ponytail. She always wore her sunglasses on her head, wore a beige windbreaker, red scarf, and jeans. She had big bright eyes, was very tan, and had a slight overbite.
"So slept in again?" She whispered to Peach.
"Yeah something like that." Peach responded keeping her eyes glued at the front of the room.
Goombella nodded realizing that Peach was trying to concentrate on the lecture. The only problem was that Peach had no idea what he was talking about. She hadn't been paying attention for the last few weeks, instead she had been daydreaming. There were some about falling in love and other mushy things, but mostly she had dreams of saving the world like Sailor V. Sailor V was only the newest comic book crime fighter, and Peach's favorite.
After several long hours of torturous lecture, the final bell finally rang signaling the end of the day. Peach was one of the first ones to jump up and already have her things put away.
"Ms. Toadstool, a moment if you please." Mr. Toadsworth called before she had reached the door. Peach sighed and looked desperately to Goombella. Her friend gave her a small sympathetic smile before leaving with the others. Now it was just Peach and Toadsworth.
"Ms. Toadstool, this is the second exam you've failed this week." He started holding up a horrific looking math test. "Honestly, I don't know what's happened to you. You had great grades at the beginning of the year and now you're giving me this. I'm afraid if you don't change this streak fast we're going to have a conference with your parents. Is that what you want?"
Peach shook her head no feeling very guilty.
"Good, then get this signed by your parents, and this had better be the last test like that, understand?"
"Yes, Mr. Toadsworth."
"Alright, carry on then."
Seeing her freedom at hand, Peach turned and ran out the door. Luckily, Goombella had waited around on her.
"So what did Toadsworth want?"
"To have an intervention."
"Ouch, what about?"
Rather than explain, Peach just showed Goombella the terrible test.
"Man, what did you do? Take this test drunk?"
"Ha ha, very funny."
"Well I wouldn't let your parents see it." She advised handing it back.
"I have to get them to sign it." Peach complained miserably.
"Wow, you're screwed."
"Hey Peach, I couldn't help over hearing. Do you need a tutor?" Goombario asked running up to the two girls.
Goombario was the most annoying person Peach knew. He always had to be right and was very nosy. He wore a white baseball jersey, khaki shorts, and a blue baseball cap. He looked a little like Goombella in the sense of being very tan but he had one tooth that stuck out a little on bottom.
"Please get real, Goombario. Peach is just fine. She's just in a slump. What will really make you feel better is a trip to my mom's jewelry store." Goombella declared.
"I don't know. I don't have the money to afford anything in there." Peach complained.
"But my mom's having a sale today. Who knows, maybe we'll pick up something cheap. Plus, I saw these cute boots in the store next door." Goombella squealed excitedly.
"Come on, shopping isn't going to do anything for her." Goombario argued.
"Actually, it sounds like fun." Peach finally decided. "Let's go!"
Goombella and Peach took off towards the mall talking about earrings and gems leaving a very disgruntled Goombario behind.
Before long Goombella and Peach were at Goombella's mom's jewelry store. Both were shocked to find that the place was packed. A line stretched all the way back to the door and it was incredibly difficult to hear over the squealing women.
"Man, you weren't kidding when you said your mom was having a sale." Peach yelled to Goombella.
"I know. I really wasn't expecting it to be this crowded. Something's strange about this. Hey Mom! What's going on?"
Goombella and Peach had just managed to make their way over to Goombella's mom who tensed up when Goombella called out to her. Peach thought that this was a little weird, but didn't say anything.
"Goombella, dear. Did you bring your friend down here to pick up some jewelry?" She asked grinning brightly.
"Yes, actually I wanted to look at some rhinestones." Peach answered politely.
"Don't be silly dear. Help yourself to some of the diamonds right over there."
Peach looked stunned. "No, I couldn't possibly afford diamonds."
"Of course you can. We're having a ninety percent sale and I would be honored to give Goombella's friend the best deal in the store."
Peach was speechless. She stood there as Goombella's mom held up diamond necklaces, rings, and earrings for Peach to look at. Finally, she decided on a pair of earrings.
"How much for those?" She asked inspecting the stunning piece Goombella's mom was holding.
"These are special 20k starburst cut diamonds. I'll sell them to you for ten dollars."
"TEN DOLLARS?" Peach exclaimed.
That seemed to do it as every woman in the store conveyed to their spot like sharks being drawn to blood. Barely able to escape the crowd intact Peach and Goombella slowly neared the exit.
"I think I'm done with sales for awhile." Peach told Goombella still trying to catch her breath.
"Yeah, my mom definitely seems to have over done it." She replied. "I guess you don't want to look at those boots with me then?"
"No, I think I'm going to head home. See you tomorrow though."
"Alright see ya."
Now that the fiasco in the jewelry store had burned up all of Peach's enthusiasm, she had nothing to distract her from the failed test she would present her parents. Sighing she pulled it out looking over some of her answers. She couldn't remember ever even talking about these problems, much less how she did them wrong.
A sudden breeze picked up and pulled the test from her hand. She cried out as it sailed away only to be plucked out of the air by a boy behind her. He was wearing a red button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to show off his muscular biceps. His short legs were hidden by a pair of jeans, his eyes by a pair of sunglasses, and his hair by a red cap with the letter 'M' on it.
"Looks like you almost lost this, Goldilocks." He told her waving the paper in front of her.
Then he took a look at it. "And now I can see why you'd want to."
Angry and embarrassed, Peach plucked the test from his hands. "That's none of your business."
Turning on heel, she stormed off. After a little ways she had cooled down enough to really focus on the finer points of the mystery man. He was really cute, even if he was being a nosy jerk. Well, he may have just curious, and it was nice of him to grab it for her. She looked up at the store window next to her advertising the Sailor V game.
"I bet you never have to worry about failed math tests and mystery boys." She told the blonde paper hero. Sighing sadly she continued on her way.
"I thought you said you studied." Was her mother's cold reply when she saw the test.
"Well you see, what happened was-"
"Peach Diane Toadstool, I don't want to hear another word from your mouth."
"But-"
"Not. Another. Word. Now, you are going to march right upstairs and you are going to study until dinnertime, and after that you will go back upstairs and study until bedtime. Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
"Crystal." Peach huffed already trudging up the stairs.
She had to admit it wasn't as bad as she thought since she didn't yell, but this was definitely going to be the worst night of her life. As soon as she got to her room she flopped down on her bed not even bothering to undo her book bag. Even if she opened a book she wouldn't be able to concentrate, or come close to understanding it. Instead she pulled out her notebook and started drawing. Peach didn't consider herself an artist, but she had a knack for sketching, especially people. Without even thinking about it she started drawing the boy from earlier. The one who had so rudely named her Goldilocks.
She became so absorbed in what she was doing she didn't even hear her window open and close. Or see the small shadow cross her bed.
"Who are you drawing there?"
"Just this guy I met earlier." Peach responded matter-of-factly.
Then it hit her that someone else was in her room. She threw down her sketch and jumped down onto the floor.
"Sorry to startle you, Peach. My name is Birdo."
Peach searched high and low for the voice and finally stopped on the small pink lizard from earlier.
"Why hello there. Were you the one talking to me?" Peach teased relaxing slightly.
"But of course, do you see anyone else in the room?"
Peach froze staring hard at the reptile in front of her. It had moved its lips and everything, but lizards can't talk. That's when it hit her.
"Oh I get it. I fell asleep on my bed and now I'm dreaming."
"This isn't a dream!" Birdo snapped. "I was sent to find the chosen sailor scout of the moon, and I know beyond a doubt that it is you."
Peach was freaking out and slowly backing up to the door. There was no way this was really happening, there had to be something wrong with her.
"Peach we don't have time for your reservations, if you want to save your friend Goombella you'll have to trust me."
"I can't. This is too weird."
"Fine then let me prove it to you."
Birdo flipped in the air again, but this time when she landed a pink heart-shaped brooch appeared beside her. Peach wanted so badly to pick it up, but then again it did magically appear in thin air.
"This locket is specially made for Sailor Moon to battle the forces of the nega-verse. It is for you and you alone."
"You're telling me I use a piece of jewelry to fight bad guys?" Peach asked incredulously.
"I'm not joking around. You are Sailor Moon, and that will help you unlock your powers to defeat the forces of evil."
Peach continued to stare only now she had her hand on the doorknob ready to flee down to the safety of her family.
"You're the one who always wanted to be like Sailor V."
That stopped her. Birdo had Peach's full attention. "If you still don't believe me, pick it up and say the words 'Moon Prism Power'!"
Peach hesitantly came back over to the bed. She still wasn't convinced she wasn't dreaming, but maybe it would be fun to play along. She slowly picked up the locket and looked over to Birdo. She merely nodded her encouragement. Peach took a deep breath.
"Moon Prism Power!"
Peach could tell that something was happening. She felt completely weightless, until little by little she could feel bits of her body. Only something felt different, she felt stronger, faster, and more defined. She finally looked in the mirror and gasped. Her clothes from earlier were replaced with a short pink sailor dress, long pink boots, white elbow length gloves, and pink bows. Not to mention the gold tiara circling her forehead and heart shaped earrings. Aside from just an outfit change, her entire body looked like she had aged by about five years.
"What did you do to me? How in the world do you expect me to fight bad guys like this?" Peach complained.
"That is quite enough. You are Sailor Moon, that is your official outfit, and you will like it." Birdo scolded.
Peach was going to say something back when she heard a cry for help that sounded surprisingly familiar.
"Goombella needs help!" Peach cried.
"Yes, she needs your help." Birdo told her.
"But what can I do?" Peach whispered. "I'm just a kid."
"No you're a Sailor Scout. Now, come on. I'll explain the rest on the way."
Almost in no time, Birdo and Peach arrived at the jewelry shop. Peach was still pretty nervous about the whole thing, but she knew that Goombella needed help. She walked in to find a horrible zombie looking monster picking Goombella up by the neck.
"Stop right there!" Peach shouted.
"And who are you supposed to be?" The monster sneered.
Peach hesitated. What should she tell the monster? That she was ordinary high school freshman Peach Toadstool that was magically transformed into a kick butt moon warrior? No, that sounded way too stupid. Then all of a sudden she was hit with the exact phrase to say. It was almost like she knew it her whole life and only now remembered how it went.
"I am Sailor Moon, Champion of Justice, on behalf of the moon I shall right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means you."
Peach felt a lot better after saying that. Maybe she could handle this. That was until the monster started laughing at her.
"I've never heard of Sailor Moon, and after tonight I never will again. Destroy her for the nega-verse my minions."
Peach gasped to see all of the shoppers from earlier rise up like they were under a spell.
"Birdo! What do I do?" Peach cried.
"Fight Sailor Moon!" She instructed.
Unfortunately, that was no help as they all tried jumping her. Peach managed to dodge a few, but majority of the time she was on the floor. The whole time she wondered if it was too late to go back home. One well placed kick knocked Peach backwards straight into a pillar. She could feel bruises already begin to form all over her body.
"Okay I'm out. Take me home Birdo."
"What are you talking about? This isn't some video game you can just quit when you're not winning."
"I don't know what to do! I'm out numbered and getting my ass kicked! I'm going to die!" She cried out.
"At least you're prepared." The zombie lady retorted as her arm warped across the room towards Peach.
She screamed involuntarily and closed her eyes awaiting the inevitable. However, she felt a wave of heat rush by her and heard the monster scream. Peach opened her eyes to see a red rose lit on fire but wouldn't burn had hit the hand that was outstretched towards her. Simultaneously, she and the zombie looked up to see a man in a red tuxedo and a white mask standing on the window ledge.
"I am Tuxedo Red, and I am here to assist you Sailor Moon. Look inside yourself to find your inner strength."
"Can't you just take care of them? I mean you seem to know what you're doing." Peach complained still staring out at the sea of brainwashed women.
"Believe in yourself Sailor Moon." He encouraged.
Peach didn't know what to think. How did this guy know she could do it? They had never met before. It was all a little too overwhelming for her.
"Peach, take your tiara and throw it at Nega-monster. It will stop everyone else." Birdo whispered to her.
"Throw my tiara?" She asked skeptically.
"Yes, and say 'Moon Tiara Magic'."
"Well I guess the only thing I have to lose is my dignity." Peach replied getting up.
Being as brave as possible, Peach did as she was told and watched amazed as her tiara sailed like a Frisbee across the room. It collided with the monster turning her into a pile of dust. As soon as she was gone, all of the shoppers passed out around her.
"Did I do that?" Peach asked no one in particular.
"Yes, stand tall and proud for you are a brave warrior, Sailor Moon. And I will always be there when you are in need." Tuxedo Red told her before disappearing into the night.
"Wow, he's kind of amazing." Peach said out loud, in a dreamy voice.
"Come on Peach, let's get you home." Birdo directed the love struck girl.
Peach followed willingly. Tonight might have seemed impossible and scary at times, but Peach felt happy as she thought about the future. Finally, she had found a purpose in life.
Okay so what did you guys think? I'm really anxious to hear your thoughts since this is my first crossover. Please review and it won't be too long for the next update.
