Thanks to give me the first review!
Also, first I hadn't put the part from where Mario meets that prince that comes to the palace till Mario goes to sleep in the evening in the previous chapter, but some time later, I did.
So if you haven't seen that part yet, please check previous chapter out again. I put some extra text in it. ;)
Anyway, enjoy! :D
The next morning in the castle.
The same Toad who was riding the white Yoshi entered through a door in rage.
"I've never been so insulted!" the man yelled to himself as he walked away.
An other Toad was there too who got surprised because the first Toad was so angry.
This new Toad was already very old. The oldest of all Toads living in the capital. While all normal young Toads have a white cap with red dots, this one has a white (but not a pure white like the others) cap with dark brown dots. He was wearing small glasses and had a white moustache. He had brown shoes and had a walking-cane with a brown mushroom on it. This was no ordinary Toad, he was the sultan. His name was Toadsworth.
"Leaving so soon, are you?" Toadsworth asked worried.
"Have luck marrying her to someone!" the Toad yelled before leaving the room.
Toadsworth sighed.
"Peach..." Toadsworth said to himself as he went outside in the garden.
Unlike the city, it was beautifully decorated. It had some trees and bushes, leading to the backdoor of the castle were long pink stairs (chosen by the princess) and in the middle of the garden was a small fountain that was surrounded by bricks.
On these bricks were sitting a girl and her pet.
The girl was blond with blue eyes and was wearing a long pink dress (with a sapphire brooch) and arm-length gloves. Also, she was wearing a crown decorated with rubies and sapphires and sapphire earrings. She was the daughter of Toadsworth, princess of the Mushroomy Kindom. Her name: Peach.
Her pet was some kind of turtle with green shoes and a green shell. He was a Koopa Troopa. Peach named him Koopa the Quick. Why?
Well, when she was still young, Toadsworth bought this Koopa Troopa in a pet-shop. He gave it to her, to keep her company while he had work to do. Before Peach could think of a name, the Koopa Troopa tried to run away. Fortunately, her dad was pretty close and ran after it. Even he had some problems catching it, but he succeeded. That's why Peach named it Koopa the Quick, because it tried to run away often when it was still young.
Over the years it began to trust Peach, and now they're best friends.
"Peach!" Toadsworth called as Koopa the Quik already looked up, "Peach!"
Toadsworth was about to grab Peach's shoulder to turn her to him, but suddenly Koopa the Quik jumped between them, preventing Toadsworth to speak to her daughter.
"Wow, easy there Koopa!" Toadsworth said.
But, Koopa the Quik now was growling at him.
"So that's probably why prince Aghmed left!" Toadsworth sighed, loud enough for Peach to hear.
"Oh father." Peach giggled, "Koopa the Quik was just playing with him!"
Then, the princess put Koopa the Quik on her legs.
"Isn't that right?" Peach asked to the Koopa Troopa playfully while petting him on his belly as Koopa the Quik laughed, "You were just playing with that mean prince Aghmed, right?"
But, Toadsworth held an angry look at her.
"Dear daughter, you've got to stop with rejecting every single prince who comes!" Toadsworth said as Peach stood up.
The next thing Toadsworth said, Peach said at the exact same time.
"The law says you must be married to a prince," Toadsworth said the next part alone while Peach sighed,"by your next birthday!"
"The law is wrong!" Peach complained sighing again.
"But you've only got 3 more days!" Toadsworth said worried as Peach took a bird out of a cage.
"Father!" Peach said a bit annoyed, "I hate being forced into this!"
She gave a kiss to the bird.
"But if I do marry, I want it to be for love." she said as she petted the bird with her face.
"Peach," Toadsworth sighed as he took the bird and put it in its cage again, "It's not only for this love. I just want to make sure you're taken care of!"
"Please, try to understand!" said Peach as she went back to the fountain and petted the fishes, "I've never done a thing on my own! And I don't have any real friends!"
Koopa the Quik growled at her.
"Except for you, Koopa the Quik." Peach giggled.
The Koopa Troopa put its head back down satisfied.
"I've never even been outside the palace walls!" Peach continued.
"But Peach, you're a princess!" Toadsworth said.
"Then maybe I don't wanna be a princess, anymore!" Peach yelled as she slapped the water when she looked at her reflection.
"Ooooooooohhhhh!" Toadsworth said a bit annoyed before walking away, "I forbid you to have any daughters!"
Peach crossed her arms before looking at the cage with birds. She stood up and opened the cage so the birds could fly away.
Some time later, Toadsworth was walking in his room while talking to himself.
"I don't know where she gets it from." Toadsworth sighed.
Then, somebody walked in with an other figure flying behind it.
"Ah, Bowser!" Toadsworth said relieved as Bowser and Kamek were grinning, "My most trusted adviser! I am in desperate need of your advice!"
"I only live to serve you, my lord." Bowser bowed.
"It's this sultan business, Peach refuses to choose a husband!" Toadsworth sighed, " I think I'm going insane!"
"I see..." Kamek nodded.
"O yes!" Toadsworth laughed, "I almost forgot you, my second most trusted adviser!"
"Now, perhaps I can solve your problem." Bowser said.
"If anyone can help, it's you." Toadsworth nodded.
"But, it would require a mystical blue diamond." Bowser said as he looked at a diamond ring of Toadsworth.
"My ring?!" Toadsworth said surprised, "B-but it has been in the family for years!"
"I need it to find the princess a suitor." Bowser said as he snapped his fingers, causing Kamek to use his scepter to hypnotise Toadsworth.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine..." Kamek said.
"Everything will be fine." Toadsworth repeated while he was in a trance and his eyes were glowing red.
"The diamond?" Bowser asked.
"Here, Bowser." Toadsworth said, giving it to the evil adviser, "Whatever you need, will be... fine."
"Okay, so now you can go to do you own business again." Bowser said as he gave the diamond to Kamek.
"Yes." Toadsworth nodded still hypnotised.
Then, Bowser and Kamek left the room.
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore!" Kamek yelled, "Always he's laughing at me! One more time and I'll change him into a Goomba!"
Bowser didn't listen to Kamek as he opened a secret door and walked in.
"Calm yourself." Bowser said as they were now going up on some stairs that looked like it was from a dungeon as Bowser chuckled, "Soon I will be the sultan of both this kingdom and my original. Not that idiot."
"And then..." Kamek added, "I'll laugh at HIM!"
Then, both laughed on an evil way as they closed a door and went in a room.
Later that night, Peach was walking disguised in pink robes through the garden.
She looked if nobody was following her, before grabbing her parasol. Just when she was about to open it, Koopa the Quik pulled her robes, holding her back.
"I'm sorry, Koopa the Quik." Peach sighed as she patted him while he looked down, "But I can't stay here and live here all my life!"
Peach ducked and hugged him.
"I'll miss you..." Peach said.
Peach turned around to the wall that leaded to outside as she opened her parasol. Koopa the Quik gave her a little push as she then hovered slowly over the wall.
"Goodbye..." waved Peach before she was completely over the wall.
Koopa the Quik sat down, looked up one more time before sighing and going to sleep.
Next day, Mario and Luigi were back stealing, because they needed to.
They were down in a market, jumping over the blankets which were protecting the stands against the burning sun.
"Okay Luigi, go!" Mario said as they were above one of the stands.
"Okay, Mario!" Luigi responded with a nod and a smile before looking down at what the stand was selling.
"Try these watermelons!" the salesman said to somebody passing as he wasn't looking at where Luigi was looking down.
Quikly, Luigi hung himself upside down and grabbed a watermelon.
"Yes!" Luigi said in succes.
Unfortunately, the salesman heard this.
"Hey!" the salesman yelled, "Get your hands of that!"
Luigi gulped but was stuck in fear.
"Why you..." the salesman muttered before grabbing the watermelon too, "Give that back!"
The salesman managed to grab it back, but he didn't notice Mario who grabbed an other watermelon from the other side.
Both went back up.
"Nice going, Luigi!" Mario said as he gave a high-five.
"Thanks, bro!" Luigi laughed.
Both took a half of the watermelon and began to eat.
A small end from them, Peach was walking disguised while looking at all the stands.
"Does the pretty lady want to buy a pot?" a salesman asked showing a pot.
Peach passed some more stands looking in awe.
Suddenly, a salesman showed a fish just in front of her.
"Fish!" the salesman yelled, "You catch him, you buy him!"
Peach backed away a bit in surprise, causing her to run into a man who was trying to put a burning stick in his mouth. This caused the man to eat the stick as he hiccuped some smoke.
"Excuse me..." Peach said in shame as the man almost had to throw up before burping some fire out.
Then, Mario noticed Peach while Luigi didn't.
"I'm really sorry." Peach excused.
"Wow..." Mario said looking at Peach's face, "She's beautiful!"
Luigi noticed Mario looking at Peach.
"Umm, are you alright Mario?" Luigi asked knocking on his brother's head.
Mario didn't even notice it as he was just looking at Peach almost passing them.
"Hello?" asked Luigi waving a hand in front of Mario's eyes.
In a stand next to them which sold apples, Peach stopped. She looked at a young boy who was looking at the apples.
"Are you hungry?" Peach asked worried.
The boy just nodded.
"Here you go." Peach smiled, giving an apple to the boy.
Unfortunately, the salesman noticed it as Peach was already walking away.
"You better be able to pay." the salesman said, "Nobody steals from MY stand!"
He pulled Peach back to her.
"I'm sorry, sir." Peach excused, "I don't have any money."
"THIEF!" the salesman yelled very angry.
"I-if you let me go to the palace, I can get you some money." Peach said scared.
"You know what the penalty is for stealing?!" the salesman asked as he pulled Peach's arm on his stand and he took a sword.
"No!" Peach yelled, "Please, no!"
Then, he tried to cut her arm of.
A cliffhanger if you haven't seen the first Aladdin movie. ;)
