By the next couple of days, Kira had her whole plan thought out.

…Sort of…

She knew there were holes in it, but it was a start.

Kira was sitting on the couch when she heard her phone vibrate from her purse. She took it out and found a message from Bowser asking what was taking her so long.

Truth is, after she got to know them, Kira didn't really want to kill the Mario brothers. They were so generous, but she had no choice.

She was going to have to kill them that day. Then it would all be over.

She had a sinister grin on her face. She knew how she would kill them. She wasn't going to stab them; she didn't want it to be so obvious. She wanted to make it look like an accident. That's what she was really good at.

Kira walked into the kitchen. She had already decided what she was going to do…

Death…by cupcakes.

Why cupcakes, you may ask? Because poison can be hidden easily in cupcakes.

She mixed enough poison chemicals and ingredients that could stop someone's heart in less than an hour. She used pure poison, along with a few poison mushrooms and mistletoe for good measure. No one would know. No one would tell.

She really didn't want to do this…

She walked into the living room with her cupcakes.

"Who wants cupcakes?" She sang happily.

Luigi took one, but Kira noticed that Mario wasn't in the room.

"Mario went to the store." Luigi said, taking a bite out of his cupcake, which tasted a little bit better than usual.

"Oh, alright…" Kira said. This could mess up the plan. She headed towards the door. "I'm going to take a walk. I'll be back in twenty minutes."

Luigi nodded and Kira walked outside. She sat atop a floating block nearly a mile from the house and became lost in thought.

She hated killing people, yet she loved every moment of it. It was really hard to explain.

About fifteen minutes later, she felt her phone vibrate. She looked at it and found a message from Mario. She had given him her number in case of emergency only a day ago.

"Where are you, Cherry? Hurry back to the house, it's important."

She began to walk towards the house when she received another message, but this one was from Bowser.

"Come to the castle. I need to have a word with you."

Kira sighed and walked to the castle. She opened the gate, went inside, and Found Bowser.

"You wanted to see me?" She asked, looking at Bowser.

"Yeah." Bowser said. "Now, can you please tell me why the princess isn't in my castle right now?"

"Because…I didn't capture her yet?" Kira asked, twiddling her thumbs.

"And why is that?" Bowser asked. "You've been gone for three days, the Mario brothers are still alive, and I've already made wedding plans for the princess and me."

"Well, I'm working on it." she said. "They'll be dead by the end of today…"

"Great." Bowser said. "And do you know what will happen if they're not?"

"W-what?" Kira stuttered, curious to know what Bowser had planned for her.

"I'll take you right back to your kingdom where I found you begging for work from every person who walked by." Bowser said. "No wonder even your parents hated you! You can't listen to simple directions."

Kira folded her arms.

"I told you I was working on it!" she exclaimed. "Why don't YOU do it then?"

"Because…" Bowser said. "I believe I appointed you with that job, Kira."

Kira sighed.

"Alright." She said simply, exiting the castle. She rushed back to the house to see if she had made any progress yet.

Before she could knock on the door, she found a note…

Had to rush Luigi to ICU. There's spaghetti in the fridge, but I'd rather you meet me at the hospital.

-Mario

Now what?

The sun was beginning to set. She was sure Luigi would die in the ICU, but in intensive care, it would take about a week. Kira had predicted that Luigi was in a deep coma, and she had to find a way to get Mario as well. Her fate depended on it.

The sooner she got to the hospital, the sooner she would find the opportunity to kill that stupid plumber.

Reviews make me happy FYI :D
