Hey everyone, how's it going? Okay, so this the first story I've ever done so please go easy on me. I tried to do this several times but I kinda messed up. For all of you who came on here to find this page blank, I apologize. I had some problems with my computer. So anyway, read, reveiw, and enjoy!

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The sound of my alarm clock jolted me awake. My eyes snapped open to find myself under my bed sheets. I let out a groan as I pulled my arm out into the open space.

I felt around my night stand and slapped my hand over the button that stopped the loud noise. I rise up from under the covers and scan my suroundings. It was still dimly lit in my room, but I could still make out the color gray coated on my walls.

I craned my neck over to see what time it was. 8:00 am.

Great. I thought, Another busy day. And thats when I hear my dad holler from downstairs. "Kat!" He called, "Get up, breakfast is ready!

I sighed to myself as I threw my covers off and swung my legs onto the side of my bed. I placed my bare feet onto the wooden floor and managed to drag them out of my room, across the hall, and into the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror to see a tired version of myself look back at me.

My face held a droopy frown. My dark eyes half-lided and the thick mass of my dark brown hair was a mess. Sure, I could've put it up before I went to bed, but I guess I was too tired last night to care. I turn down to the sink and turn it on cold. I cupped my hands under the faucet to get a good amount of water. I pulled my hands up from the sink and splashed the cold liquid into my face. I blinked several times to let the water seep into my sockets. Yep, that woke me up.

I grabbed a nearby towel, dried off, and then headed downstairs. I was midway down the staircase when I caught the smell of, waht seemed like, fried eggs and bacon. My stomach rumbled at the thought as I followed the scent down the kitchen.

I entered the room to see my father, Luigi Mario, cooking sizzling bacon in a pan in his regular attire. A long sleeved green shirt, denim jean overals, and a green cap that had the letter L on it. My dad might be a bit on the cowardly side at times, but he was sure brave enough to take me under his wing and adopt and raise me as his own.

He turned his head to me and flashed a teasing smile. "Morning Mopy." He said jokingly, examining my expression. "How'd the princess sleep last night?" I just make a face at him in response and walk towards the table where my uncle, Mario Mario, was sitting and reading a news paper.

All the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom see him as their brave hero in red, going on dangerous journeys to rescue their fair, beloved princess from a dastardly koopa king. All I see is my uncle going on another wild goose chase to get his soon-to-be girlfriend back from and overly large turtle who is so stupid o do the same routine every time and not know that he'll never win. Ever since I've been growing up, Uncle Mario has been known as my personal trainer. He's taught me everything he knows about fighting in the Mushroom World.

And by that I really do mean EVERYTHING. All the power ups, all the techniquies, all the skills. You name it, he taught me it. Anyway, Uncle Mario looked up from his news paper and smiled at me. "Good Morning" He greeted cheerfully. "Morning" I said wearily. I still wasn't quite awake yet. "Sleep well?" I shrugged "I guess." I looked down at the newspaper. "Anything new today?", I asked. He sighed "Well, some of the sewage pipes underneath Toad Town have busted. So I guess we'll have to go there later today. He turned to Dad, "Right bro?" Dad simply nodded. "Yeah. We've gotta do what we gotta do. We are the best plumbers around here after all."

I looked over to him. "Dad, your the only plumbers around here." Dad shook his head. "That's not true. Wario and Waluigi are plumbers."

"And do they actually do the work?"

Dad frowned "Point taken." He turned his focus back on the pan. "One or two?"

"Two." I answer as he puts two slices of bacon, along with some fried eggs, and place them on a plate and set it on the table for me. I dug my fork into the eggs and began to eat. Just then, a vioce was heard outside. "Mail call!" It was Parakarry, our mailman. Well, mail koopa in this case.

"I'll get it." Dad said as he walked out the door. I took a bite of some bacon. Crispy, just the way I like it. "Hey bro!" Dad called, coming back in. "We got a letter from Princess Peach!" At this, Uncle Mario almost sprang up from his chair. "Really? Let me see."

Princess Peach. The ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom and my uncle's love interest. Ever since his first adventure, he's had a thing for her. That's the thing with most guys. One look at a pretty face and they immidiately melt.

Uncle Mario scrolled down the letter. "It says here that she wants us to come over for tea. What do you think Weegee?"

"Yeah," Dad said, "we haven't seen the princess in a while." He turned to me. "Kat?"

"Sure" I said, "Why not?" I've always enjoyed going over to the castle to have some of Peach's warm tea along with some scones.

"Well go get dressed. We'll leave here in a minute." I nod and eat up my breakfast and head upstairs to my room.

I walked into the dark area and opened the curtains, allowing daylight to pour in. I glanced about my room. My walls were painted a color gray that had a silver-ish tint to it. My unmade bed rested on the right side of the wall with my night stand, holding my lamp and alarm clock, beside it.

I went over and smoothed the sheets out and put the pillows back in their place. I then openend my closet and switched out my PJs and into my usual attire. A gray T-shirt and dark blue jeans. I put on a pair of white tennis shoes before heading out.

I skidded into the bathroom again and brushed my hair out the best I could. Afterwards I went downstairs to join my dad and uncle.

"You ready?" Dad asked me. "Ready." I said back. "Alright then lets-a go!" Uncle Mario said using his usual catch phrase as we headed outside.

We went off the front porch and walked towards the white fence that surounded the whole house. On the other side of the gate, I could see the nearby forest in the outskirts not too far from our house. We just made it to the other side of the gate when a large, green pipe. This is how people got from place to place around here. Just jump into one of these to get to where you want to go.

Uncle Mario smiled and gestured me to go first. "After you." I walked up to the pipe and climbed up on top of it. I looked down into the seemingly bottomless hole before plunging myself into the darkness beyond. For those of you who've never traveled by pipe before, allow me to explain. Its like going down a water slide, only faster. There are alot of sharp twists and turns that make my stomach churn all the way. I still haven't got used to the feeling and I'm not sure if I ever will. Next there's the sensation of falling and then suddenly I'm jetting upwards. I tilt my head up to see a speck of light that grows bigger and bigger as I make my way out of the pipe and into a different location.

I land on my feet onto soft grass. It wasn't long before Dad and Uncle Mario came out of the pipe right after me before it sank back into the ground.

"Well here we are." Dad said and sure enough, there was the entrance that led to Toad Town. A cheerful little place where most of the Toads lived. Usually, its a peaceful place until a certain koopa sends his troops to invade the castle.

"Alright lets go." Uncle Mario said as we made our way into town.

So what did you all think? Good? Bad? Somewhere in the middle? Well, please R & R and let me know. Have a good day!:)
