Expect a chapter every week or two... maybe three. I'm starting school in a couple days (as of August 8th, 2015), so I will try to type as much as I can each day. Thank you :)

Chapter 2 - Off we go

The time was 9:26 A.M.

Mario and friends were now back at Mario's house with their luggages. All Mario was bringing was a bright red suitcase and a black European shoulder bag. Link was bringing a large white bag filled with his clothes, but the weak silver stitches going across of the bag worried him. Fox and Captain Falcon was only carrying a blue shoulder bag for this trip. However, before they set off inside Captain Falcon's Falcon Flyer, Mario has had high-concern for Charlette. While packing, Mario noticed that Charlette spent most of her time outside trying to catch birds. Charlette was still an unknown figure to Mario and why she always avoided answering his questions. Mario approached her while she was outside.

"Are you going to take anything?" Mario asked the girl. Charlette stopped and swiftly turned and faced the man, holding her hands behind her back. She refused to answer. Mainly because she did not want to go back, nor did she know why. Luigi came out of the house and approached the two.

"Mario!" Luigi yelled right next to Mario's ear, making him shake.

"I'm RIGHT here! No need to yell..." Mario answered, but was interrupted by Luigi hugging him with tears in his eyes.

"I'mma going to miss you big bro!" Luigi cried. Mario replied with only a smirk and patted Luigi's head. Charlette just smiled.

Isabelle walked out from the house and approached the three.

"Everyone is ready to go!" Isabelle stated. Luigi released his grip on Mario and stood by Isabelle.

"Wonderful!" Mario yelled with glee. But was quickly wiped away when he saw a dark figure behind the mountains past the house. The figure disappeared upon Mario rubbing his eyes. He turned his head while staring at the distance remaining very skeptical.

"Mario..." Isabelle said quietly approaching him until she had to look up at him from a couple inches away. "Is everything okay?" Mario remianed closing his eyes. After a couple seconds of silence, he opened them back up and placed his hand on Isabelle's head.

"Nothing... nothing's wrong", Mario answered with a smile and rubbed Isabelle's head until she smiled. He looked back at the hills to see that the figure did not reappear. Link, Fox, and Captain Falcon joined the group with their things. Right behind them was Yoshi waving at them from Mario's front porch. After saying their farewells; Mario, Link, Fox, Captain Falcon, and Charlette was inside the Falcon Flyer. Isabelle, Luigi, and Yoshi stood by, until Isabelle ran towards the ship holding a bag.

"WAIT!" the little dog yelled, nearly out of breath. Mario poked his head out of the window.

"How did you open the visor?" Captain asked Mario, only to realize that Mario smashed the window to pieces. "MARIO!" Douglas yelled angerly.

"Give this bag to Charlette!" Isabelled yelled as she handed it to Mario. She stopped running and waved farewell. Mario waved back and went through the small room with yellow paint towards the front of the Falcon Flyer.


Captain Falcon's Falcon Flyer is owned by Douglas Jay Falcon himself, which he uses to complete his bounties. The Falcon Flyer's front had the steering wheel hosted by a comfy red chair. Right behind it was a small room filled with red seats with small white cabinets below small LED yellow lights. Fox was driving the beautiful device as Mario and everyone else rode in the red chairs. Captain Falcon was not wearing his helmet to give Mario an angry face, showing his teeth. Mario turned and faced Charlette, who was sitting directly next to him on the left.

"Charlette..." Mario whispered, but got no response. She was passed a sleep and was counting sheep, due to the fact that she did not sleep the previous night. Something kept her up while she was sleeping on Mario's couch, like a plot of nightmares refused to allow her to sleep. It seems she has them every night... ever since-

"Charlette Charlette Charlette!" Mario whispered as he pushed his left hand into her right shoulder. This action made Charlette jump and open her eyes. She was a bit scared, but the feeling disappeared as soon as she saw Mario. She turned her head to have eye contact with the plumber smiling at her with a yellow backpack. "Isabelle told me to give you this", Mario stated as he handed the Inkling the yellow backpack with a large pink flower print in the front.

"Uh... thanks..." Charlette said shyly, not knowing what to do with the backpack.

"That's a cute backpack!" Link stated as he gave Charlette a smile. Fox looked back at the group.

"Speaking of backpack... I thought Ness was coming with us! Where is he?" Fox asked as he scratched his head. Mario and Captain turned their heads to look at the Star Fox leader. Captain Falcon was only concerned that Fox was not paying any close attention to the road ahead due to the fact auto-pilot was destroyed by the encounterment of Metroid's Ridley.

"He'll meet us there, but I'm not sure if he's bringing anyone..." Mario answered with a spark of concern. More people means a higher price to pay for a hotel room.

"Who's Ness?" Charlette asked.

"Ness is a very special boy... around your age!" Mario answered. "You'll get along with him when you meet him". However, Mario had a strange feeling he was being followed, a feeling he could not shake nor is willing to tell others about. The last thing he needs is for one of his friends to start having those worriful feelings he was suffering. He kept silent and telted his hat down to take a quick nap.

"O-Okay", Charlette replied as she moved to the seat farthest away from everyone to look out a window. What makes this 'Ness' so special? Charlette thought as she watched dozens upon dozens of clouds fly by with the golden sun hiding behind the white bright clouds in the backgorund. Hopefully he's a lot like Mario...


"Are you sure they'll be okay?" Isabelle asked Luigi as he layed in his bed.

"He'll be fine, not like he ever needed my help", Luigi said with a stiff tone but got over it by sinking his head into a fluffy white pillow. And with a moment of resting, the green plumber went to sleep. Isabelle watched him as she was very concerned for the group of friends towards Inkopolis, she wondered why Mario was acting strange before leaving. Yoshi walked in and rested inside a blanket followed by a green pillow. Isabelle approached Yoshi, kneeled down, and rubbed his head before he start counting sheep.

"Before you go to sleep... where will I sleep?" Isabelle asked Yoshi. The green Yoshisaur got up and shrugged his blue blanket off of him and proceeded to the fornt room, feeling like he had to start telling her every night. Isabelle followed with her paws together, just to be stopped in the front room by ramming into Yoshi's back. Yoshi turned quickly towards Isabelle which made her jump a whole eight inches back.

"Yoshi! Yoshi! (On the couch!)" Yoshi replied.

Isabelle was a bit confused as she look into Yoshi's eyes with a puzzled face. Yoshi made a heavy sigh and put his head down, where Isabelle could not see him close his eyes. He lefted his head with a quick swoosh and looked at Isabelle again, who was waiting for an answer.

"On the couch", Yoshi answered. "Isabelle sleeps on couch".

Isabelle nodded and layed on the red couch. She pulled the small blue blanket she fell on and covered her whole body up to her shoulders. Yoshi patted her head and turned off the light before walking back into Luigi's bedroom. Isabelle layed in the couch with many worries. No matter how much she tossed and turned, she could not get more then an hour of sleep. Something was on her mind that kept her awake. She constantly wondered why Mario looked so worried when he left. And if he is worried about something, why is he keeping it to himself?


Onett; a small town in Eagleland far from the Mushroom Kingdom. With a small population of three-thousand people, the way of life remained the same. In the mountains at the back, small houses can be found including a metoerite split wide open for some time. A house made from wodden walls painted white and a baby blue roof was home to someone with the special ability known as PSI (Psionics). A boy dressed with a yellow and blue striped-shirt, red baseball cap, blue shorts, red shoes with high white socks, yellow backpack, and simple dot eyes walked out of the house assisted by a woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a long red dress. The woman hugged the boy as hard as she could.

"My little man is going on another adventure!" the woman yelled. "Please be safe Ness!". The woman let go and a small little girl dressed in a white shirt, red suspenders and skirt, blue eyes, and a red bow ran up to her brother and gave him the same treatment.

"Bye bye big brother!" the girl yelled.

"Bye mom and Tracy! I'll be back in a couple weeks!" Ness insisted. "He told me last night that there's someone I should meet..."

"I wonder who?" Tracy wondered. Ness smiled and patted her head.

"I'll find out when I get there!" Ness concluded as he began to teleport. He ran in circles in the front yard as his family watched him teleport and jump away. Ness's mother faced Tracy and picked her up, carrying her in her arms.

"Ness has become so strong thorughout the years, with Mario, he's in good hands", Ness's mother stated.

"I can't shake the feeling that he might get into trouble upon arriving there..." Tracy wondered as she placed her hand on her right cheek. Ness's mother showed some concern as she could not shake the same feeling her daughter was having. Tracy and Ness's mother walked back inside the house both having the feeling that Ness might have gotten himself into a tough situation, but knowing Mario was there with Link, Fox, and Captain Falcon was going to be there helped the two shrug it away.

Ness was going to meet the group at the docking bay within Inkopolis. The group believed he would bring someone (mostly Mario), but he only brought himself and his backpack.

Next up, Inkopolis!
