Night 3

Characters Remaining - Peach, Yoshi

This is it. The final chapter. I know it's been ages since I posted, but let's just say I've been busy. Doing...things. That sounded way mroe suspicious than it should have. The point is, I want to thank everyone for reviewing and reading. Here we go!

Peach: Okay, Yoshi. We dock tomorrow morning, so if we can survive this night, we'll have made it out! I still can't believe that so many of our friends are...are...dead!

Peach then burst into tears and slumped against the wall. They had been looking for the control room in a desperate attempt to speed up teh boat, but it was hopeless. Twenty minutes of wandering led to nothing but sore feet, and Peach was feeling lost. Yoshi sat next to her as she grabbed his arm and wiped her nose with it.

Yoshi: Uh, eww. Whatever. Look, Peach, I know you're sad and all, but we have to get to the control room! You know it's important! We only have five minutes!

Peach: Yeah, I guess you're right. We should speed up the ship to get there before we're k-wait! Wait a minute! What was that you said about five minutes?

Yoshi: Nothing, nothing, I swear! It was a armless haccident- I mean, a minnocent istake- I mean-

Peach: I KNEW IT! YOU'RE PLOTTING AGAINST ME!

It was then that the three days' wrth of death, starvation, and Bowser started ot affect Peach's mind. She started hallucinating a filed a mushrooms, dancing in the trees...

Yoshi: Peach! Get a hold of yourself!

But it was impossible. She was floating in the clouds, spinning through the flowers...

Until Yoshi slapped her.

Yoshi: GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, WOMAN!

Peach:...You're right. You're right. We have to find this killer, or at least find a way off the boat. Let's keep going.

Yoshi: Yes, she fell for it! Idiot girl!

Peach: I CAN hear you.

Yoshi: Huh? Oh, I, uh, didn't say anything. You're hallucinating again.

Peach: Oh, in that case, slap me again.

He slapped her.

Peah: I still feel weird.

He slapped her again.

Peach: I still feel weird.

He slapped her again.

This continued for twenty minutes until Peach finally cooled down. The two walked aimlessly for a few minutes as Yoshi anxiously checked his watch. Eventually, they reached the control room and stepped in just as the door locked behind them.

Peach: Yoshi, it's the killer! Behind you!

Yoshi swiftly turned around and watched as a dark figure stepped into the light. He was shocked to see...

Mario.

Peach: WHAT? Mario, I thought you were dead!

Mario: Exactly! I staged my own death in that bathroom. Slowly but surely, I've been killing off every one of you. But you, Peach, have been exceptionally hard to kill. You weren't fooled by the elevator or the cake, and nothing else seemed to work...But I knew that I could convinced Yoshi, your closest friend, to help lure you here! And now I'll kill both of you!

Yoshi: Both? But you promised if I helped you I'd live!

Mario: WELL I'M A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!

Mario lunged at Peach and shoved her to the ground, holding a bloody knife to her throat.

Peach: But...why? Why did you do this?

Mario: Six years ago. March 27th. Do you remember the cruelty, the betrayal you all showed me that day? The pain I suffered?

Peach: ...No. I really don't.

Mario: Of course you don't. Typical inconsiderate behaviour form someone like you. It started out as a Mario Party like any other...Until you killed me!

Peach: What?

Mario: It was this mini-game when you throw bomb-ombs at each other, and you threw one at me, and I DIED. And you all just stood there laughing as a huge "YOU WIN" sign came form nowhere!

Peach: IT WAS A MINI-GAME, YOU SICK PSYCHOPATHIC LUNATIC! THAT WAS THE POINT!

As Peach yelled into Mario's face, his deranged look became one of sadness and despair.

Mario: Well maybe if our idea of fun is murder, I don't want to live in this world any more. I...I'm a monster.

Peach watched in horrid fascination as Mario took the knife and stabbed it right through his own heart. Despite what he had done to her friends, Peach truly loved Mario. She cried all through the night, and as much as Yoshi tried to console her, she could not be helped. Even after docking safely in the Mushroom Kingdon, Peach was never happy. She lived out the rest of her days in a sad state of passivity. Sure, she Mario Karted and Mario Partied, but nothing was really the same without Mario.

And that's the only ending there is to this story.

Because not all stories have happy endings.
