BGM: Toad Town (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
"Wait just a god damn minute!" Marisa exclaimed, as she was in Toad Town with Reimu as they were about to head into Peach's castle when Zero stopped them. "Repeat that?"
Zero Two sighed. "I told you. You're quite different in that universe."
"So what am I like over there?"
"Well, you're still the same badass everyone knows and love."
"Heh, nice!"
"Wait for it…" Reimu whispered.
"…Who also got married."
"Uh… what?" Marisa blinked. "Married to who?"
"Dante."
"Dante? That silver haired badass? HA! Not in a million years! Besides, last I checked, Mokou and Kagura had a friendly little rivalry regarding who gets him first." Marisa said.
Reimu rolled her eyes. "I heard Dante said that he preferred someone who wasn't a hot head or someone who lets men die over some stupid five impossible items. So he let 'em down gently, I suppose."
"Oh, right…" Marisa nodded. "So the other me decided to get married, big deal… I ain't getting married anytime soon, thank you very much! Not now, not ever!"
Zero Two sweatdropped. "Yeah… she's definitely stubborn, not to mention that she called you out for being afraid of going into deep water."
"Hey, I almost drowned from that stupid bony shark!"
"That was a few years ago, you should've gotten over that by now!" Reimu said in frustration.
"Well, excuse me!" Marisa glared at her. "Tell that other me that she'd be afraid too if she went against a shark that nearly drowned you and you're not extremely agile in the water!"
Zero Two rolled his eyes. "Noted." And I'll probably just not tell her that. He thought to himself. "You also have a kid from a bad future. A Future kid, if you will."
Marisa blinked. "Say wha?"
"Yeah, someone named Souji. From what I've heard, he's quite the ladies' man and is engaged to this girl named Hina."
"A future kid… there's something you don't hear at all…" Marisa said.
"Just when you think you've heard everything, you hear another that surprises you. What's next, I'm dating some guy with cards?" Reimu wondered.
"Yep." Zero nodded.
Reimu's eyes widened in surprise. "WHAT?!" She yelled.
"And you didn't even tell your best friend… for shame." Marisa teased.
"Oh, bite me!" Reimu growled, while Zero laughed and then opened a portal. "Welp, if you'll excuse me, I'll be heading back to that universe. They should be facing another member of the Malevolent Seven or… Five at this point, I don't really know who's left." He said and then walked forward. "Oh, and by the way… in the other universe, Mokou's married and Kaguya is dating Dark Pit." He said and walked in, closing the portal behind.
"Mokou got married…? Who'd marry that hot head?" Marisa asked.
"…Did you not catch that Kaguya is dating Dark Pit? The guy that could care less about anything besides beating the crap out of Pit but always loses and doesn't like showing off emotions?" Reimu asked. "How the hell is that possible?!"
"I'm calling it now… someone brainwashed Dark Pit to open up his emotions to someone." Marisa said. "If it's not brainwashing, then my guess is Kaguya is desperate to find a guy and saw Dark Pit as a last minute guy."
"How long do you think that relationship will last?"
"A month, then Dark Pit breaks up with her." Marisa said and walked towards Peach's Castle.
"Eh, I'll give it a week." Reimu said and followed her in.

BGM: Peach's Castle (Mario and Luigi: Dream Team)
"Reimu! It's great to see you!" Peach cheered and then the two girls hugged while Marisa leaned against a wall as they closed the door while Mario and Luigi started a conversation against Marisa… and just when things were quiet, the doors were violently kicked open.
"Sup?"
Marisa sighed in annoyance. "Don't you ever knock, Natsu?"
"Where's the fun in that?" Natsu chuckled. "Besides, you guys waltz on in anyway!"
"…He's got us there." Reimu said, seeing the rest of Team Natsu coming in, along with Juvia, Gajeel and Levy right on top of Gajeel's shoulders.
"Master Gajeel! I told you a million times you shouldn't carry her like that!" Toadsworth scolded.
"She's used to it at this point." Gajeel said, as Levy was reading a magazine and not even caring.
"Eh, I just gave up on fighting him anyway." Levy shrugged, causing Carla to sweatdrop.
"Oh, it seems we're having a party already." A voice said as they saw Remilia walking in, and joining her was the rest of the Scarlet Devil Mansion girls.
"Yeah, we're just hanging out." Marisa said, unaware of something flying overhead as it parked above them and a yellow brick dog jumped into the top window and worked his way down.
"…Hey, do you feel something?" Luigi asked.
"I do." Reimu nodded.
"It sounds like it's coming from upstairs!" Lucy said. "…And making its way down!"
"Whatever it is…" Natsu's fist burst into flames. "It messed with the wrong people!" He growled as they all got into position, ready to take on whoever entered the castle… and then suddenly, the dog, Broggy burst through the doors and barked.
"AAAH!" Happy yelled and hid behind Natsu, as Carla did the same thing while Lilly just rolled his eyes.
"That's… one interesting dog." Marisa said.
"What's next? A corgi that pops out of mail?" Reimu asked as Marisa looked at her weird.
"That's oddly specific."
"Hey, the way things have been lately, anything can happen." Reimu pointed out as Broggy handed Peach a letter.
"Hmm…" Peach read the letter. "To Fair Princess Peach and her subjects, an island of luxury awaits: Pi… Pi… how do you pronounce this? Pi'illo Island?"
"That's the dumbest island name I've ever heard… of all time." Reimu said.
"Our staff wishes to wait on you! Come! Take a vacation with us! From the Pi'illo Island Proprieter." Peach continued to read and finished the letter.
"A vacation?" Luigi asked.
"Hmm, I'm game." Mario said.
"Yeah!" Peach nodded. "I mean, our last vacation in Delfino ended in disaster! This is totally going to be awesome!"
"Well, what the hell are we waiting for? Let's do this!" Marisa fist pumped.
"Ah, a vacation sounds nice." Lucy smiled.
"A vacation with my Gray sounds lovely!" Juvia exclaimed, hugging Gray's arm.
"Get off." He said, trying to shake her off of her.
"Well, what are we standing around here for? Let's go!" Flandre grinned as they went into the blimp as Toadsworth, a few Toads and even Captain Toad himself hopped on board.

"Hey, shouldn't we invite Daisy and Rosalina?" Captain Toad asked.
"Don't you remember that those two decided to go to Delfino without Peach?" A Toad asked.
"Oh yeah… they totally didn't invite her."
"Oh, they did." Peach said. "I declined because I didn't want to have a repeat like last time."
"Yes… when that rapscallion Bowser made a mess of everything and framed Master Mario."
"Totally should've invited me…" Luigi muttered as the blimp took off.
"Not to worry! That rapscallion Bowser won't know that we're gone!" Toadsworth smiled.
"Wait… you were framed…?" Reimu asked.
"It's a long story." Mario replied.
About a few hours later…
"Hey Meiling?" Flandre poked her. "Meiliiiing!" She poked her again. "…She's out…" She muttered.
"She's been like that for hours!" Sakuya sighed. "What are we gonna do with her?"
"Oh! I know! We'll get a bucket of water and splash her with it!" Flan grinned. "…Or we can use Patchy."
"I'm not wasting a spell card on her. Let her sleep, she'll come around." Patchouli said. Or most likely not.
"Hey, Luigi's knocked out as well." Erza said, as she was enjoying some strawberry shortcake. "If anything, they'll wake up by the time we get there." She said and then looked at Meiling. "Well… one of us will."
Broggy growled and then turned around, as his bandaged backside opened up, revealing some professor. "Who's that?" Wendy wondered.
"Hello, everyone! I am Professor Snoozemore!"
"Snooze…more?" Natsu asked as he and Marisa tried to hold in their laughter, until Gajeel punched their heads.
"OW!" They both yelled.
"In case if you are wondering, I am studying the science of sleep here at Pi'illo Island… so, you should all be at ease with the dog until you reach the island and enjoy your trip!" He said as Doctor Snoozemore turned it off.
"Well, those two seem to be at ease." Gajeel muttered, glancing at the snoozing Luigi and Meiling when suddenly, the whole place got dark.
"Huh? What's going on? Is it dark outside?" A Toad wondered.
"No… I don't think so…" Marisa said.
"AHAHAHAHAHA! FOOOOOOOOLS!" A voice yelled as suddenly, darkness appeared before them all and then formed into the all familiar vampire bat.
"What the…?!" Marisa asked.
"Didn't we defeat him in the Sprixie Kingdom?!" Reimu asked.
"I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" Antasma yelled and attempted to trap everyone in darkness, but Mario, Reimu, Marisa, Natsu, Erza and Flandre escaped and got ready to fight him.
BGM: The Final Antasma Battle (Mario and Luigi: Dream Team)
"DIIIIIE!" Antasma yelled, unleashing a wave of bats but they quickly avoided it as Natsu jumped up in the air.
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" He yelled, punching Antasma away as Mario proceeded to hammer him down as Reimu flew over and kicked him away while Marisa unleashed a Master Spark on him.
"AAARGH!" Antasma screamed, charging up a huge ball of energy as Erza ran forward and slashed him repeatedly as Antasma proceeded to launch the ball of energy towards them, but Flandre quickly grabbed it with her hand, as she was pushed back a little.
"Doesn't even hurt!" Flandre smirked and then threw it, but Antasma dodged it as it hit the top of the blimp, causing them all to pale up. "…Oops." She said as the blimp started to fall straight towards Pi'illo island while Antasma laughed… and then Reimu unleashed Fantasy Seal on him, causing him to yell in pain and then floated up, creating another hole in the process.
"Oh come on!" Reimu exclaimed.
"Next stop: Pi'illo Island!" Doctor Snoozemore said.
"NOT HELPIIIIIIIIING!" Peach yelled as they got closer… and closer… and dangerously closer to Pi'illo Island… until they crash landed hard.

Meanwhile…
BGM: Bowser's Castle (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Lord Bowser! Lord Bowser!" General Guy ran into his throne room. "I have urgent news!"
"And what could that be?" Bowser asked.
"The Mario Bros, the miko, the witch with the tacky witch outfit, the Scarlet Devil Mansion gals, and some of Fairy Tail have all gone to Pi'illo island! That's what one of our scouts reported!"
"And I should care why…?"
"Peach went with them."
"WHAT!" Bowser yelled. "You mean to tell me that ALL OF THEM went to some island that I never heard of?!"
"Yep, that's about right."
"UNACCEPTABLE!" Bowser yelled. "I've ruled one island before, I will rule another! Get Corporal Paraplonk, Sergeant Guy, and Private Goomp here on the double!"
"Sir yes sir!" General Guy saluted and flew off… and a minute later, he returned with the trio of knuckleheads.
"Yes, your nastiness?" Corporal Paraplonk asked.
"Men! We have one thing to do… storm this Pi'illo Island and find Princess Peach… and then we will RULE that pathetic island! And this will be your last chance to redeem yourselves after that betrayal! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR, YOU THREE?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good, now get on the airships! We've got an island to conquer!"
"And I will come too!" A familiar voice said as they turned to see an all familiar Magikoopa.
"What the…?!" General Guy couldn't believe his eye holes. "You were thrown in the lava at the Sprixie Kingdom! How are you alive?!"
"It's a long story… but right now, we need to move."
"He's right. Let's move out! General, get Junior too!"
"On it!"
The Magikoopa chuckled darkly. "I will have my revenge on you, Marisa Kirisame!" He smirked.

Aaaand somewhere else…
"Nice job haunting their dreams."
"I only did it on zhat pesky green plumber and zhat sleeping dragon girl. Unfortunately, I'm not at my full power yet." Antasma said, rubbing an ice pack on his forehead.
"Oh, don't worry… your powers will come back fully."
"So, do we storm Pi'illo Island, Junko?"
Junko chuckled darkly. "Yes, Hecatia. We will storm Pi'illo Island. Let's move."
Mwahahaha! I'm back, boys!
And i'm ready to rumble with Touhou: Dream Team! AHAHAHAHA!
Let's get this show on the road!
