Chapter 1
"Okay, places everyone. Bow will be here any minute~" sang Princess Peach as she hid behind a curtain.
"So this is a surprise party. I didn't think I had to hide." Watt stated as a puzzled look form on her tanned face. She was hiding under the gift table.
"No shit." grumbled Scrap, who was sitting under the table with her.
"Sorry, I never had or been part of a surprise party. I'm not perfect you know." fumed Watt, her hair started to generate sparks of electricity, which lit up the ballroom, making the room appear like a date night dinner.
"Scrap, Watt! Stop arguing. Figure out something to cover up that light." screeched Goombella who was hiding behind a propped door.
"I'm on it." Scrap said. He unbuttoned his flannel shirt, revealing his black mussel tee, and placed the shirt on top of Watt. It covered her like a blanket, resulting in the light going away. Watt's face turned bright red like that of a ripe tomato.
"This is embarrassing." She grumbled.
"Hey, I didn't hear you complain when I gave you my shirt to wear when your shirt got wet." snapped Scrap.
"True but you didn't have to do this, right here of all placed." shot back Watt.
"Gosh, you two sound like an old married couple." chuckled Lakilester.
The two teens only kept their mouths shut as their faces grew red.
"Both, please stop fighting. This is a birthday party for Bow." spoke Mario.
"Yes, Mario." they replied with a defeated tone.
Elsewhere in the castle was Bow, the birthday girl floating down the halls of the castle. As she floated across the halls, her soft green curls bounced. Her piercing amber eyes scanned the area.
"Where could Peach be. The guards said that she is somewhere in the castle." she thought.
She continued down the hall until she saw the entrance to the ballroom. She smiled, "Maybe she's in there."
She floated to the door, opening it to see all the lights in the room light up.
"Surprise!" She say as all her friends jumped out to greet her.
She saw the decorations. Red roses along with pink roses, her favorites. She saw the hundreds of balloons in the room, forming beautiful decorations. She looked over to her left and saw a large table. There were many gifts of all sizes resting on the table. She smiled to see this cute set up, it reminded her of a baby shower. "How cute. But for what reason would they have ever planned this? I know I'm not pregnant nor am I getting married." The boo thought. Then she saw large white silk banner that expands from the top left corner to the right stating, "Happy Birthday Bow!" in bold red cursive writing.
"Happy Birthday Bow!" everyone beamed. as wide smiles formed across their faces.
Bow stood there, her amber eyes didn't blink. She only stood there, in shock.
King Bowser himself stepped out from hiding and strolled down with a large 4 layer birthday cake made by Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina. He recited the birthday song with a smile and parked the cart that held the cake in the center of the ballroom, right in from of Bow. Once he finished singing, he looked over to the green haired heiress.
"Bow, are you okay? You're crying." asked Princess Peach.
Bow didn't stop staring at the cake nor did a word slip out of her red lips. She brought her petite hand up to her cheek. She graced her face and felt the tears rolling down her face. She brought her other hand up to her face and covered her mouth. She closed her eyes as she breathed and felt the hot tears continue to fall down her ghostly pale skin like a waterfall.
"I'm sorry. It's not that I hate this, if anything this is the sweetest thing anyone has done for me in almost 200 years. It's just-" she choked on a sob.
"I'm sorry." She whined. She proceeded to cry an endless ocean of tears and disappeared into the air.
It became dead silent in the room, no one moved an inch. All that Princess Peach could to was hug her fiance, Mario, and cry out, "Bow, I didn't mean to make you cry."
