The Mushroom Kingdom

Mario, Luigi, Peach & Daisy were playing tennis. The teams were Team Bros, & Team Princess. The match was going good. Peach took a topspin which Mario answered with a drop shot. Peach took a slice, which Luigi shot back with a topspin. Daisy took a lob.

"It's coming to you, Mario!" Luigi shouted

"Alright!" Mario shouted back

He held his racket tightly, & unleashed a topspin. It went flying onto Peach & Daisy's side! Daisy completely missed, but Peach whacked it full force into a slice! The ball sliced right past the two brothers, & Team Princess won the match.

"Awww no fair!" Luigi said sulking

Mario kicked Luigi! Luigi moaned.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Luigi shouted

"Come on bro." Mario said "Be a good sport."

"Ok!" Luigi said still crying a bit

"Good game guys." Peach interrupted as she put her hand over the net to shake

"Fine." Mario said

They shook, and waked off to the locker rooms.

"Well that's Team Princess to 4th place, & us to 5th." Mario calculated

We're losing!" Luigi worked out "AND... the finale is 3 days! How are we going to make it?!"

"Calm down calm down!" Mario shouted "Our next game is Team Kong."

"Is that Donkey & Diddy?" Luigi asked

"You bet!"

Mario & Luigi turned to the door. A little chimp wearing a red T-Shirt and cap walked in, followed shortly by a gorilla wearing a red tie with DK written on it.

"I'm looking forward to it!" Donkey said

"Same here!" Mario answered

"Well, see you in a few hours." Donkey Kong said "Prepare to lose!"

Donkey Kong walked away with Diddy, laughing.

"You are so going down!" Mario muttered

They were about to walk out of the locker rooms, when a blue swirly vortex appeared!

"WHAT!" Mario shouted

"WAAAAAAHHHHH!" Luigi screamed & ran away

"Luigi!" Mario shouted before getting sucked in!

The portal closed, & Luigi came out of hiding.

"MMMMMMMAAAAAARRRRRIIIOOOOO!" He shouted

Mario was floating in what looked like a black & blue swirly vortex. He was shot out with a crash. The portal appeared in a field. Mario fell out. He got up and examined his surroundings. It was a giant field leading to a castle, forest, volcano, lake & a desert-like thing. (Ocarina of Time design)

"Where am I?" Mario thought to himself

He turned & stared at the castle.

"Maybe I should ask for help there," He thought

Mario ran towards the castle.

"HEY!"

Mario turned, trying to find who said that. He squinted his eyes, & saw a horse heading towards him.

"You new here?" The rider asked

The rider was a tall blonde male, wearing a green tunic, & a green floppy hat thing.

"Yeah, where am I?" Mario asked the strange figure

"You're in Hyrule!" The man said "And my name's Link, what's yours?"

"Mario," Mario said and shook Link's hand

"Just wondering, how did you get here?"

"Oh, ehhh." Mario thought of how to tell him what happened without sounding like a lunatic, he decided to just go with it "I fell through some sort of portal thingymobobber."

Link didn't seem surprised at all.

"That's been happening a lot lately, no-one fell through one yet." Link explained

"So I'm the first one?" Mario asked

"I don't know. I say ask the Princess, she's always having these weird prophecies." Link suggested

"Alright." Mario agreed

They walked to Hyrule Castle.
