Mario sat at the shoreline, blankly watching the waves lapping at his feet. Suddenly he was jerked back. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw Candy on her knees beside him. Her mouth moved, but he couldn't see to hear the words.

Then a stinging pain was emerging on his right cheek. "Mario, snap out of it!" Candy exclaimed. "If you ever wanna see them again, you've gotta save em! So c'mon, you and your brother need to go!"

"What about you?" Mario challenged. "You need Violet; she's your mother!" And my ancestor, he added to himself. "Why don't you like her?"

Candy froze, then turned her head away. "She's not my mother—she adopted me," she whispered. "And…she used me.

"Three years ago, I played her the song on piano that she played for you guys. She absolutely adored it, and I taught her how to play it. Then…" Her voice choked. "She played it for the town at Town Hall. Everyone loved it. The mayor wanted to give a compensation of two thousand gold coins to the person who'd written it, to spread around the globe for the comfort of others—it was that beautiful to them. But no, can you guess who took the money?" A single drop of water fell onto the sand beside her. "So many people started coming to our mansion, wanting to hear her play it. To get her autograph, even. And I always stood by, watching, waiting…but she never did anything. Never once told them that it was my song. My God, I just couldn't stand it. So I moved away. Far away, down here. It was tough, survivin' on my own, but I got used to it."

"Oh…" Mario's heart swelled.

Suddenly his cellphone began to ring. Candy yelped. "WHAT THE HECK!"

Mario pulled it out and answered it. "Hello?"

"Mario! It's Peach!"

The red plumber's face lit up. "Thank God you're okay! Where are you at?"

"Violet and I are at some kind of stage…I think Bowser plans on keeping Violet hostage until I marry him!"

"I'll be right there!"

"Mario, wait! I have something to tell you about Violet!"

"What?"

"She—" A sudden gasp was heard, and a shriek. A buzzing noise was echoing.

Mario gazed at the screen in disbelief. CALL DISCONNECTED.

Candy looked at him curiously. "Were you talking to yourself?"

"Get Luigi and the Toads."

"Toads?"

"The mushrooms!"

Candy nodded and raced inside the cabin.

Mario stood by the sea, watching the sun sink. It was beautiful; almost like a romance scene, but it'd be perfect if Peach were with him.

"Bro?"

Mario turned around. Luigi and the Toads were standing in the doorframe. "Candy said you wanted us."

"Yeah, I know where Peach and Violet are! I think they're at the theatere—you know, where Violet acts at? Candy mentioned it earlier."

"Where's the theatere?" Toadbert asked.

"I know where it is," Candy said quietly. Mario jumped, startled. She was standing beside him. "It's at Town Square. I'll take you there," she added, tossing her hair over her shoulders as she set off past the cabin, towards the right. "Follow me."

"Wait."

They stopped. Mario took a few steps forward and held out his hand. "I'm counting on you. Violet and Peach are counting on you. Everyone is counting on us. So promise me you'll be with me all the way."

For a moment no one moved. Then Luigi placed his hand on top of his brother's. "All the way," he said determinedly, his blue eyes fixed guiltily at the bruise on Mario's head.

"All the way!" Toadiko shouted, standing on her toes and trying desperately to reach. The brothers lowered their hands, and she put hers on top.

Toadbert tentatively joined his hand. "All the way."

Candy shared a small smile with Mario. "I'll be here," she whispered, placing her hand. "All the way, Mario. All the way."

~Peach's POV~

"Mario, wait! I have something to tell you about Violet!"

"What?"

"She—" Peach gasped as she saw Bowser's tail. Violet shrieked as he emerged. Peach dropped her phone and screamed.

Bowser smirked. "Thanks for the idea, Princess!"

Peach gaped at him. "I will not marry you!"

"Yes you will…" Bowser tossed her a script. "Now memorize this. We go on in five."

"Papa!" Bowser Jr. squealed, running in. "Papa, they're on their way!"

"Is Candy with them?"

"Yeah."

"Excellent. I believe we have a spot for her in the play—the criminal who is punishable by execution." Laughing evilly, father and son exited the room.

"What are they going to do with my daughter?" Violet fumed, struggling against the ropes.

Peach struggled, too, for the first time noticing the script in her hands. She slit the ropes with its sharp edges and sighed in relief as she moved her arms freely. "C'mon, let's go!" she hissed at Violet.

Violet dashed off. "It's this way!" she called over her shoulder, vanishing.

Peach began to follow but was suddenly slammed against the prop violently, gasping. "Get some rest," Bowser's scaly voice whispered in her ear. "You don't have any speaking parts, anyway."


STUPID BOWSER! STOP BEING MEAN TO THEM! Lol I think everyone's kinda OOC in this, but I'm proud of Bowser. I think I did okay on him. Lol
