Mario's POV
It was a clear day in Mushroom Kingdom, and unlike most days where the streets were hectic, with toads rushing all over to take care of business, today was the opposite. This particular day, the entire kingdom was quiet, and that was perfect because I was sleeping in, tired from rescuing Princess Peach the night before. I was very much asleep, so much so that I failed to hear the sound of someone snickering in my darkened room. Time passed, and I finally woke up when I heard snickering from what seemed to be small group of people, so I searched around my room, unable to see who it is because of the darkness.
"Who's There?" I asked.
Suddenly, the lights turned on, and Luigi and a group of toads jumped up and yelled: "SURPRISE!", which honestly scared me half to death. After recovering from initial shock, I began to question them.
"What's all this?" I asked, puzzled, "It's not my birthday or anything."
Luigi walked up and sat on the edge of my bed, "We know it's not your birthday." He responded, "We're just here to congratulate you on proposing to Peach last night!"
I had almost forgotten about it, last night in Bowser's Castle, after I rescued her... Surrounded by the searing hot lava I actually proposed to her! I thought it was kind of romantic, and the scenery gave it a sort of a daring feel. She seemed to be shocked, as she didn't respond for a few moments, and then she said yes and we both hugged.
I was thinking about the entire thing, and almost forgot that I had company. I got out of bed, and hugged Luigi, "Thanks bro, for the surprise!" I was about to walk out, when Luigi said: "Hey, Mario! Where are you going, we were going to have a party too!"
"I'm off to the castle, I want to see Peach, and we'll have the party when I come back." I said as I grabbed my red cap from the hat rack on my way out. I ran through town, avoiding some toads along the way, and I picked some flowers I saw on the way for Peach. I finally made it to the castle, and just when I was about to open the front doors to the castle, I heard a huge crash from the roof.
Then I saw Bowser's airship hovering over the castle... and I saw Bowser himself with Peach on board.
"MARIO!" I heard Peach say as Bowser's airship started to fly away. I ran after it, and chased it until I could no longer see it, and I dropped the flowers I picked for her. I ran to the house, to prepare for yet another adventure.
