A/N: Hey all you DiMimi fans! This bit is very dimimi-ish so warning to those who dislike! Well….enjoy! :D (I don't own Mario! Or it's amazing characters!)
"Dimentio, can I PLEASE have the crown?" Mimi pleaded for the fiftieth time.
"No." Dimentio was tired of being nice. The castle was impossible to reach through dimensional travel, so a long walk on foot and float was all they could do.
"Dimentio, are we even CLOSE to that witch's house?" Mimi grumbled.
"Mimi, watch how you talk about her. This is her territory. There could be spies at any corner. They could be listening, like leopards on the prowl. So keep quiet!" Dimentio was becoming irritated with his green companion, but she was necessary to the plan, and she pleaded with Dimentio to let her go. And plus, he had to admit she looked delightful in the purple dress she was wearing. Her yellow ribbons also complimented her green hair quite nicely….
"Stop it," he thought to himself. "This is all part of a plan. You cannot screw this plan up like last time." He scolded himself for allowing inferior feelings creep unto him.
"Alright then Dimmy…" Mimi kicked the rocks along the path, glancing at Dimentio every few minutes or so. He had become so serious lately, she had began to miss the carefree Dimentio she once had. After the Void had closed and they found each other, Dimentio seemed…different. She began to reach out for his gloved hand to comfort him but suddenly regretted it.
"Mimi, do you mind?" Dimentio snapped. The look on her face fell from boredom to utter disappointment. Mimi reclined in silence and said nothing.
"I'm sorry, I've just got a lot on my mind. I shouldn't have snapped at you." Dimentio apologized immediately. He saw the hurt on Mimi's face that lingered.
"It's okay Dimentio." She was always saying that lie. It was never okay. Dimentio was always in a bad mood now days, and he never smiled anymore. It was just a grim stare most of the time.
"There." Dimentio pointed into the distance. A pale ivory castle stood, with vines of deep violet spinning around each tower. The tower had a single flag on it's tallest tower. The flag was purple, with a yellow insignia on it. The flag waved, although there was no wind in this barren landscape of absolute darkness. An eerie glow shimmered around the castle. The castle seemed to beckon them.
"Here, you can hold the crown." Dimentio reluctantly pulled off his hat, revealing the crown, and his shaggy half-black and white hair. He took the crown out of it's resting place on his head and placed it into Mimi's pale hands.
"Yay!" Mimi's eyes lit up as Dimentio entrusted her with this great responsibility, even if it was only temporarily. Mimi's mood instantly was boosted.
"Do you need help putting it on…?" Dimentio asked reluctantly, not wanting Mimi to squeal too loudly.
"If you um…don't mind.." Mimi grinned, as she faintly turned red.
"Well um...okay." Dimentio took the crown back and placed it on her head. He tilted her head up and looked at her. "A perfect fit." he smiled. Mimi was shocked, but glad to see a smile on Dimentio's face for once. She didn't know whatever it was that had put him in a better mood when he saw her with the crown, but she just hoped he stayed in that mood. Their gaze held for a single moment too long, and Dimentio gave in and kissed her on her forehead. He acted as if nothing happened, and moved forward towards the castle.
Mimi simply stared at Dimentio in astonishment as he walked ahead.
"Well are you coming or not, Mimi?" Dimentio had a playful, mock, irritation in his voice.
"Oh…uh…yeah I'm coming!" Mimi stuttered over her words.
Dimentio held out his hand to Mimi, and she happily grabbed his hand, as they walked towards a great castle that reeked of evil. But Mimi didn't care. She was in pure bliss. What she didn't know was that she was walking into the castle of a mistress. The mistress of dimensions.
