Hey everyone! After seeing the results on my latest poll, which make me wonder who exactly voted, I decided to continue this story. The reason why is a kinda simple one. It's because I'm pretty much done with this story, even thought Chris deleted the story he wrote for me. This honestly has one, two chapters left. So, I'm trying to finish this while trying to "Adventures", and "Rise". I'm not too sure about "Return To Isle Delfino". I might just discontinue that, or leave it on the back burner until the summer, when I have more time to work on it. So, that means that I'm not going to discontinue any of the stories I have up at the moment. Sounds good? Good. Anyways, here's the very much longingly awaited Chapter 6! Read and review and enjoy!
The night is young in the Mushroom Kingdom. The stars are out into the sky, creating constellations that we were taught as children. But, we're not in the Mushroom Kingdom now. We are in Dark Land, waiting for our three protagonists of our story to come out with the princess of Koopas, Wendy. At the moment, the three of them were waiting in the throne room for Wendy, but Felicity believes it is for a different reason.
"You think he made us wait in here so we would fall into a trap?" Felicity asks suspiciously as she paces around the room, looking at every corner of it to make sure something that shouldn't be here isn't.
"And trap the guy that his daughter really likes, really Felic? We've talked about this before, remember? And stop pacing around! You'll ruin your dress, and it's making me nervous." Felicity looks at Pit as she stops pacing around. She takes a deep sigh, and walks toward the boys.
"I know. I know, Pit, but c'mon! Don't you think it's a little bit suspicious? I mean, we've been waiting here for hours-"
"Actually, it's only been about ten minutes Fifi. Give or take a couple." Felicity turns toward Chris, and glares at him.
"Not helping, Chris."
"Sorry."
"As I was saying, all we've been doing is waiting here, and so far, nothing or no one has appeared. Bowser would have done something against us by now. Maybe, they're buying more time to get rid of us. They're most likely making plans on how to kill us as we just wait here."
"Felicity, Bowser's not planning anything. If he was, he would have done it. And secondly, his daughter's coming with us. Would he really want to endanger his daughter in the process?"
"You have a point, but-"
"And what have I told you about assuming? Remember the last time you assumed Bowser had something planned? You almost got yourself killed, and ruined Chris' chances to ask Wendy out. You are not allowed to assume anymore about Bowser for the rest of the night."
"But Pit-"
"No buts, Felic! I mean it. You will not anymore assumptions about Bowser, Kamek, Wendy, or any of his minions in this castle, kingdom, and around the Mushroom Kingdom. Are we at an understanding?"
"Fine! I won't make anymore assumptions about Bowser, Kamek, Wendy, or any of his minions in this castle, kingdom, and around the Mushroom Kingdom for the rest of the night. But if I'm right, you can't say anything to me." Felicity says as she crosses her arms, and turns away from her date. A Koopa Troopa walks into the throne room, and bows to the trio.
"Excuse me lady and gentleman, may I present King Bowser of Dark Land, and Kamek the royal vizier of Dark Land." The minion says as he bows out of the way for Bowser and Kamek. The powerful duo walks into the throne room, toward the heroic trio.
"Good evening, lady and gentlemen. You all must be wondering why you're here. Well, we shall tell you, but first, princess Felicity, I do believe the princess Wendy wishes to speak to you in her room. I will escort you to her room." The three protagonists look at each other in complete and utter confusion. For they know that Wendy O. Koopa hates Felicity's guts. She tried to kill her a few days ago because of jealousy. Hearing that fact that Wendy actually wants to see her, let alone talk to her made them all extremely confused and suspicious. Despite all of this, Felicity guessed that Wendy was having a Chris-related problem that only she could help since she and him are the best of friends. Felicity smiles at the fact that Wendy, who shows no fear, might actually be nervous about this date. She turns to Kamek, and smiles at him as she bows her head.
"Thank you, Kamek. We shall go to her immediately." Felicity turns to give Pit a kiss on the cheek, and soft squeeze on his hand to assure him that she'll be fine. She give Chris a wink, and walks out of the room with the utmost grace, etiquette and bravery, with Kamek towing behind her. As soon as they leave the room, Bowser turns his attention to the men of the group.
"Now, you're wondering why I told the girl to leave the room. Well, that's simple. We don't want to hear what we have to say to the two of you. Now, Wendy is my only daughter. My pride and joy, and I want to make sure that my pride and joy makes it back to the castle safe and sound. So, I am only going to tell the both of you this once, so you better listen carefully." Bowser says as he gets closer and closer to the angel and Blastoise, stomping all the way.
"If my little pride and joy comes back with any type of injury on her, even a paper cut on one of her delicate little fingers, I swear I will throw you into the dungeon, and personally make the both of yours lives, especially you blue dino boy, a living hell. Is that understood?" Bowser says very sternly and menacingly to the duo. The duo are in absolute shock, and say nothing. They nod their heads very warily. They already heard this from Mario about Felicity's safety, but Bowser was a whole new level. Sure, Mario was scary when he got angry, but Bowser was down right horrifying. No minion, yet alone any living creature, would want to be in his way when he was furious.
"Good. Now that I've made myself clear, make sure she has a good time. I don't want fights happening between the girl and my daughter. I admit the fool of a plumber and I have our differences, but there are occasions when we had to team up for the better good, and all that crap. Maybe they can learn from our examples, and hopefully set their differences aside for this one night."
"Well, King Bowser, sir, I'm very sure that the girls will come to somewhat of an agreement. They're very smart young women, and I'm sure they'll think of something."
"But Pit, don't they hate each other?"
"Actually Chris, Wendy hates Felicity. Felicity doesn't hate her the slightest bit."
"Wait a minute, the girl doesn't hate my daughter?"
"Nope. Actually, she doesn't even hate you. I never heard her say either you, or your daughter's name, the words I and hate in a sentence. You?"
"Nope. Never heard it from her either."
"Well, she is her mother's daughter, so that's pretty much self explanatory. I'm glad some of her rubbed off on the girl. The Mushroom Kingdom won't be doomed when she begins her reign after all." Bowser says at the three men laugh together. Kamek walks into the room.
"Presenting the Princess Wendy Koopa of Dark Land, and Princess Felicity Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom." Felicity walks in first, with a somewhat graceful, elegant on her face as she looks at Pit and Chris. She walks over to Pit, who bows to her (as usual). She rolls her eyes, and grabs his arm.
"So, what did you two talk about?" Pit whispers in her ear. Her elegant smile quickly becomes a mischievous one as she looks at her date, and possibly, boyfriend.
"Just girl stuff. The usual." Pit raises his eyebrow as he looks at his girlfriend.
"Is that so?"
"Yes. You know, you should be glad that I came back alive you know."
"Of course I'm glad you alright. Will you tell me eventually?"
"I will. Once the date is over. Agreed?"
"Agreed." As they finish their conversation, Wendy enters next, and Chris cannot stop staring at her. She's wearing the same pink dress that was mentioned earlier in the story, which is complimented by her pink bow, eyeshadow, and lipstick. His mouth literally drops, causing Felicity and Pit to snicker at him.
"And I was right about Chris dropping his jaw at the sight of her."
"She looks really pretty tonight."
"You look absolutely radiant tonight, kootie pie."
"Thank you daddy." Wendy says as she walks up to her father, and kisses his cheek. She turns to Chris, walks up to him, and curtsies to him while just stands there like an idiot. Felicity shakes her head as she tries her hardest not to laugh.
"Hi Chris." Chris says nothing, but continues to stare at Wendy, amazed at how great she looks.
"Wendy, you look great." Felicity says as she tries to give Chris encouragement.
"Yeah. You look really pretty tonight." Pit says in agreement.
"Thank you Pit...Felicity." Wendy says with a real, authentic smile on her face as she realizes what they're trying to do. She turns toward Chris.
"So, what do you think Chris?"
"You. You. You look really...really...really...magnificent." Chris finally says after struggling with the words he was trying to say ever since he saw her for the first time. Wendy blushes a crimson red color, and Felicity and Pit quietly cheers him on.
"Thank you. And look very handsome yourself." Wendy says flirtatiously as she winks to the Blastoise, causing his face to become as red as Mario's hat.
"Well, shall we get going now? We don't want to be late." Pit says as he really wants to get out of Koopa Castle. The trio agrees and walk out of the castle in pairs: Chris and Wendy in the front, and Pit and Felicity in the back.
"Of course. Have a good time Kootie Pie!"
"I will daddy!"
"Hey girl! Tell Mario the princess is mine!"
"And Mario will kick your ass before you even get the chance!"
"Remember what I said boys!"
"We will King Koopa!" Pit and Chris says together loudly in a very frightened tone, making Felicity and Wendy give confused looks to their respective dates.
"Were you making sure he heard you again?"
"Yeah. Chris and I really wanted to make sure he did!" Pit says quickly with that same frightened tone.
"Chris, what did my daddy say to you two?"
"Nothing! Nothing! He just wished us a great time! Now let's get moving!" Chris says quickly and nervously. Felicity and Wendy give their respective dates a skeptic look. Then, they look at each other, and seem to be communicating without saying any words as they make their way to the restaurant.
We'll figure it out later.
And that is chapter 6. Sorry it's not up to par, but I tried. Next up: The last and final chapter of "Adventures". Until then!
