Google is a glorious thing... it helps me make good clothing choices for my characters. =w= But i think I take it a little too far...

Peach Castle

Double D banged on the front door of the castle, desperate. "Please let me in!" He yelled. The door opened to reveal yet another mushroom person.

"Can I help you?" Then the guard's eyes widened. "Human! Please, come in!" Obviously they were meant to be kind to humans, so Double D rushed in. He ran as fast as he could everywhere until he saw a flock of mushroom people near a large door and a big mushroom with eyes had a red cross on it. Double D looked past them all, since he was taller then all of them, to see Eddy on a cot next to a blond woman in a pink dress with another guard and a pink mushroom person.

"Eddy!" Double D's outburst made everything go silent, and he was able to get past the crowd with ease. The woman stood, proper and seemed proper.

"It is nice to see another human besides me and Mario in the kingdom. I am Princess Peach. Is this your friend?"

"Thank you, I am Eddward, but people call me Double D. And yes, I came with a whole group, but we got separated." He didn't want to mention he ran off leaving Alyssa behind.

"This group you were with... do you know where they are?" Peach asked, interested.

"Well..."

Volcano lair

Alex roared loudly, mind blank and instincts taking over as she ran after her food. The chain chomp pack was behind her as they chased after a flock of chickens that strayed from Bowser castle. "BARK BARK!" Alex tore her pants into some shorts and used her shoes to beat the chicken. By now she was filthy with grime and a little saliva. The last things those chickens ever saw were a huge pack of chain chomps coming at them at full speed, iron jaws clamping loudly.

Outside the castle

Ed was following the smell of dirty socks from the laundry with the eldest toad, who had gotten lost in the forest. He was about to jump into the trash chute that traveled through the stone as they had reached the outer wall but then he heard Double D's talking just inside. He knew it was him because half the words that were being said he didn't even understand.

The Elder had the guards open the door, and Ed followed the sound of smart talk. "DOUBLE DEEEEEEEEE!"

"Oh no..." Double D said, hearing the familiar scream as the large door between the hospital wing and hallways burst open and Ed tackled him head on, nearly knocking the lights out of him. It was a few minutes of this constant hugging and glomping when Ed then noticed Eddy.

"EDDY!" He jumped right on top of him with Double D in his arm.

"Oh, another one! They're coming out faster than goombas!" Peach said, surprised. In the trees was a paratroopa, watching eerily through its sunglasses and then flew off, back to Bowser Castle.

Boo Mansion

Alyssa, now showing off her Ipod after the record player died, had the entire mansion in dance by now. The loud noise of dance music chased out the entire fuzzy infestation, which King Boo was very grateful for. They were horrible little pests that spread ashes and dirt onto and were everywhere. But now the boos had the mansion to themselves. Some boos gestured for them to follow, and she nodded. Handing the Ipod to a boo, she walked off and followed them to a empty bedroom. On the bed was a dress, a lolita dress. Alyssa gasped, tears coming to her eyes from pure joy as she picked up the beautiful garment. "Can I try it on?" She asked with big excited eyes.

"Why of course! King Boo had it picked out for you." One said. Then they left to let her get undressed. Alyssa went to work excitedly and pulled off her sweatshirt. After five minutes of struggling to contain herself, she had the dress on. It was beautiful, not one flaw in it. It was all black, with white ribbons and lace. It went down to her knees and had white knee high socks and a cute little white bow on the chest with lace on the hem of the skirt.

Someone knocked on the door, and she slipped the mary janes onto her feet before King Boo floated inside.

"Well? How does it look?" She asked, twirling around happily. The silky material felt nice against her skin.

"You look magnificent!" King Boo said, his large tongue dancing in his mouth for some odd reason. But Alyssa shrugged it off.

"Thank you so much for the dress your highness. I've always wanted to try one like this on." She attempted to hug his form, then ran off to join the rest of the party. King Boo sighed, and just then two boos came in with a tiara.

"Too late?" One asked.

"Yeah." King Boo left discouraged.

Shy Guy City

Alice now had on a large black sweatshirt that went to her mid thigh, with the hood up and a mask on. She had also put on tight black shorts that went to the top of her knees so she wouldn't have to worry about peeping toms. The guy from earlier, who had introduced himself as Sam, let her keep her clothes and gave her a room in the inn he ran. "I don't know how I can repay you for all this!" Sam rubbed his chin in thought.

"I know... you can maybe... retrieve an item for me? Or multiple?"

"...You want me to steal for you?"

"I've got a few operations here and there to keep this inn afloat." Sam shrugged. Alice was silent for a bit before grinning evilly.

"Just call me the Shy Gal."

Volcano Lair

Alex sat atop a pile of bones made from the victims of previous hunts. she used a chicken bone to pick the leftover meat from her teeth. Right now five different males were deciding who would get to be her mate, even though they were completely not compatible. In the corner was the one she called Dunce, the retarded chain chomp of the pack. He tried to eat the moss on the walls.

Peach Castle

Double D and the elder toad talked about the kingdom's borders, and he discovered that there were multiple places where Alex and Alice could have landed. Boo mansion was just in the center of the haunted woods, which was just outside of town. People got lost in that woods though and were never seen again, so it was a miracle story that Double D ever made it out of there. So he had to figure out a way to get through the forest. "It is said that all the trees look the same, so people were lost very often." The Elder said.

"Then let's try to find some answers to navigate and some landmarks."

"That is a very hard thing to find... but there is one man who survived. He's a psychic as well." He said. Double D didn't seem very happy.

"I don't trust mythilogical things. But then again this is the only amount of evidence of a way to find Alyssa..."

"A female? Is she a princess?" Peach asked, even more interested.

"Well... to me she- no! She isn't!" Double D covered up with a blush. Everyone in the room snickered. And now that Eddy was up he got onto his feet and began to question people. A toad rushed inside, terrified.

"Princess Peach! There has been a robbery at the general store!"

"Oh no... It must be that horrible gang of Shy Guys!"

"No, its different this time! There was sighting of a taller Shy Guy, wearing all black. The oddest thing is that this Shy Guy had very pale and skinny legs." This caught Eddy's attention immediately.

"Did this guy have black hair? Blue eyes? painted nails?" He questioned the little guy. The toad shuddered, but answered.

"Well, they did say they say it have black nails. But they say its because its fingers are like poison! Shy guys aren't even supposed to have fingers nonetheless fingernails!" Eddy was wondering if these people had ever heard of nail polish before.

"That does sound like Alice... do you know where they could have gotten to? This is one of our friends!" Double D said. Princess Peach showed him to the map and placed a finger on a city south of the castle.

"Shy Guy City, filled with ruffians and theives of all kinds. No doubt she's there. But if you are to leave on a journey, we must get you prepared! Servants!" They were surrounded by servants. "Help prepare these brave warriors for thier long journey." All of them obeyed with a 'Yes your highness.', then all ran off. Some maids pushed them each to a separate bathing area to get the grime of travel off them. Ed was struggling, and the girls had to use hoses to get Ed clean as he ran out naked and screaming.

Three hours later

Double D came out of the dressing room in his new adventure clothes. A blue jumpsuit with a red jacket. His hat was replaced by a blue hat with a 'E' on it. Eddy came out, feeling handsome. He had on a purple jumpsuit with a yellow jacket, and a purple hat with a 'E'. Finally, Ed came out after many struggles in a green jacket and red suit, his hat green and had a 'E' on it. "These are very comfortable!" Double D said.

"Yes, and they should serve you well in your journey. They are water proof and can stand temperatures up to five thousand degrees." Peach said, then showed that the wizard she talked about earlier, lived in Shy Guy City.

"Well lets find this guy and Alice." Eddy said, then was prepared to walk out with his friends before Peach said to wait.

"If you see my friend Mario, can you give him this letter?" Peach asked, handing Double D it since he was the most trustworthy. He placed it in the sachel that she had given them.

"If we see this Mario, we will." Double D nodded, then they left after farewells and thanks, on the journey to find their missing friends.
