Hey everyone and happy Saturday! Usually I have a lot to say, but this time I don't. Weird huh? I'm technically supposed to be doing my AP and Honors work for school, and I'm a senior this year! WHOOO! But I couldn't leave you guys hanging, so here it is just for you my awesome readers. I know it's a day early, but I wanted to get this out the way, so I can start my school work. I only got less than three weeks left till school, and I really have to do them. So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Chapter 10. Please R&R and enjoy!
Bowser and Felicity suddenly appeared in the back of the abandoned building where the Mario gang are being held captive.
"See? I told you it was easier. Didn't I?" Felicity says as Bowser lets go of her, and she rubs her shoulder that Bowser held on so tightly to.
"Yeah. Yeah. So where are they miss know it all?" Bowser says as he crosses his arms and look around his surroundings impatiently.
"I knew I recognize this place. This is the 2 story motel that became abandoned after that really bad fire 5 years ago. About 20 people died in that fire. They say that the ghosts of the victims haunt those very halls."
"Pfft. You believe in stupid ghost stories? Don't you know that ghosts aren't real you stupid girl?"
"Isn't King Boo a ghost himself?"
"No. He's a boo. There's a difference."
"And what the heck is the difference per say?"
"Never mind that. Let's split up and search for them."
"Have you lost your goddamn mind? Splitting up is one of the worse things you can ever do in haunted buildings like this. That's an absolute death wish! Haven't you seen any scary movies at all?"
"Do you have any better ideas then?"
"Yeah. Stick together, find everyone, get outta alive and live our lives."
"Stop being such a scaredy cat like Luigi. We'll cover more ground if we split up. I'll go through the front door, and you'll go through the roof. There's always a door on the roof."
"Wait a minute! Why do I have to go through the roof?"
"Because you'll get there quicker than I would. You're way lighter than me, so you can easily fly up there in no time. You got a feather or leaf with you right?"
"I got a leaf. So I could fly up there with that right?"
"Yup. So, start flying! My Peachie's in there and who knows what those two sneaks are doing to her!"
I do, but I'll never tell you Bowser. "Sure thing." Felicity says as she takes the leaf out of her pocket. Smoke appears around her for a few seconds, then disappears to reveal the same Felicity, but with a few changes. She has raccoon ears, and a raccoon tail. She turns around to see the tail and feels her larger and pointed ears moving.
"Hey. This a pretty cool transformation."
"When you touch an item, you get a new name. Instead of being called Felicity, you would be called Raccoon Felicity until you changed back. Now, you can fly by moving your tail in a circular motion, but only for a certain amount of time. Then you'll fall." Felicity gasps at the word "fall" and already starts to feel a little lightheaded. She shakes out of it, and focuses on the situation at hand.
"Got it. Thanks for the tutorial Bowser."
"Well, what are you waiting for? An invitation or something? Get moving already!"
"Yeah. Sure." Felicity starts to make her tail spin, and she slowly levitates from the air. She starts to fly up the building, while she's closing her eyes(Not really a good idea). Don't look down. Don't look down. Whatever happens, don't look down. You can do this. For the guys. She opens her eyes to see that she made on the roof, when suddenly her tail stops spinning. Felicity's eyes widen in shock as she starts to lose altitude and fall.
"Oh crap! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Felicity screams, but she grabs onto the ledge. She slowly pulls herself up and she lands on the roof, her back on the ground, and losing her raccoon power up as well. She's trying to slow down her breathing, since she's hyperventilating.
"You still alive girl?"
"*pant* Never *cough* again koopa.*wheeze* You hear me?"
"Oh shut up and get in there!" I'd like to see you do what I just did. Felicity gets up after a few minutes of calming down and resting. I am never doing that again. She walks to the door, only to find out that it's locked.
"There is no way that I just flew up here, and almost fell to my death to a locked door! Frece!" Felicity says as she puts her hands out and freezes the door. It becomes frozen solid, and she kicks a hole into the door. She carefully walks in and opens the door to the hallway.
Bowser
Bowser found an entrance too, but in the front of the motel. Instead of freezing the door like Felicity, he melts it down. He also carefully walks in, and sees the main lobby. He looks around for a sign to show him where they could (mostly Peach) would be.
"Where are you my beloved Peachie? Answer to your future husband, so I can save you!" Bowser says but hears pretty loud snores coming from somewhere. He follows the sound to a door that leads to the destroyed laundry room, He braces himself to open the door, and for whatever is behind it. He opens the door and is shocked at what he saw.
Felicity
Felicity starts to shake a little bit in fear of what's to come. A vision of the future would be nice right about now. Stupid clairvoyance.
"Mar! Lou! Peach! Daisy! Anyone here? Answer me! Please!" Felicity says as she walks around and opens doors to empty rooms. She leans against the walls, and slides down and sits in hopelessness. This is hopeless. They won't answer. They probably think I'm an enemy. I need to say something that no one else would ever think of. Unless… that might just might work! Well, here goes nothing. She takes a deep breath, and starts to tear up as she screams
"Mommy!"
Meanwhile, in the room…
Peach opens her eyes, startled by a certain dream she had. She looks to Daisy, who is also asleep (You be tired too if you were tied to a chair half the night.)
"Daisy. Daisy! Daisy!"
"Huh? What is it Peach?"
"I just had the strangest dream. I dreamt that Felicity was here, and she called me mommy. Isn't that weird?"
"That is pretty strange. She never calls you mommy, let alone mom."
"You think I was dreaming the whole thing? It just felt so real too."
"I don't know Peach. Maybe your imagination is running-" Daisy stops in mid sentence, think she just heard someone called her name.
"Did you hear that? I could have sworn I heard someone call our names, and the guys' too."
"Yes. For a minute, that sounded like Felicity though. Do you think she's here?"
"Let's just wait a few minutes before answering back. She might just call again." Daisy says as they wait patiently, hoping that it was actually. Their hope is realized when they hear a familiar voice.
"Mommy!"
"Oh my gosh! It really is Felic! She's here! Isn't that great Peach?" Daisy turns to see Peach with tears in her eyes.
"Peach? What's wrong?"
"Daisy, didn't you hear what she said? She called me mommy."
"Yeah she did. Let's answer her before she leaves. Felic!"
"Felicity sweetheart! We're over here!"
Felicity
She waits to hear no one call her back. I guess they're aren't here anymore. I was too late. Felicity says as the tears to fall harder and quicker, She's about to give up hope when suddenly she hears to familiar voices.
"Felic!"
"Felicity sweetheart! We're over here!" Felicity gets up from the wall. They're still here! And they're okay! Hang on guys! I'm coming! She runs towards the screams.
"Mom! Daisy! Where are you? Keep talking to me!"
"Just follow our voices Felic!"
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Yup. Same old Peach. Nice to know she's okay.
"I'm fine. You girls okay?"
"We're fine! How did you get here?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell ya when we get outta this mess." Felicity finds the door, and tried to open, but it's lockd as well. Great. Good thing I know how to pick a lock. She takes a bobby pin, and starts to pick the lock. She succeeds in a matter of minutes, and opens the door to see Peach and Daisy tied up in chairs.
"Mom! Daisy! You guys are okay!"
"Felic!"
"Felicity!" She runs toward them, and goes toward Daisy, to see the rope.
"Alright Daisy, I need you to hold still for me. I'm about to do a fire spell to burn the ropes and I don't wanna burn you. Okay?"
"Yeah." Felicity calmly says a fire spell and starts to burn the ropes carefully, so she won't burn Daisy in anyway. She finishes and Daisy is finally free from the ropes. Felicity jumps on Daisy and hugs her very tightly while Daisy hugs her back. They look go after hugging for a few minutes.
"Felic, I'm glad you're okay. I thought those idiots were gonna find you."
"Pfft as if those losers could. Sorry your date with Lou was definitely ruined by those two idiots. The three of us tried to stop them, but we came up short. If my stupid visions showed me more, I could have known when they were gonna strike, and we could have avoided this whole mess." Felicity says while looking down, saddened by this whole night. Daisy smiles, and puts her hands on her shoulders. Felicity looks up at her.
"Felic, let me tell ya something. You, Peach, and Mario tried your hardest in trying to avoid it. Peach told me everything, so you don't have to feel guilty about anything You did everything you could, and I'm so glad you helped us. So don't be so hard on yourself okay?"
"Yeah Daisy. I guess you're right. Thanks for cheering me up."
"No problem. By the way, you have a great voice. You should show it to people more often." Daisy says as she winks to her. Felicity blushes a deep crimson red color as she walks over to free her mom. She does the same thing, and Peach is freed a few minutes later.
"Mom!" Felicity says as she hug her mother with tears falling down on her cheeks. Peach is shocked, but hugs her back as well with tears forming in her eyes.
"You..You called me mom. More than once."
"Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't call you that sooner. You've always been like a mom to me ever since I got here. I'm so sorry and I love you." Peach pulls her back, and can't help but smiles at her daughter.
"I love you too my sweet angel, and don't you ever forget that."
"Trust me, I won't. Not now. Not ever." Felicity hugs her mom once again, and Peach hugs her again, and kisses her forehead. They let go, and Felicity walks out of the room.
"C'mon girls! We gotta meet Mar and Lou downstairs, along with my partner."
"Who is you partner Felic? Peach and I are dying to know who it is."
"You'll find out soon enough. But you guys gotta promise me you won't freak out when you see em downstairs. Alright?"
"Fine."
"Alright Felicity."
"Mom, how come you never use my nickname? You always say my whole name, but you never use my nickname?"
"Because your name is Felicity, not Felic. I never really liked nicknames, so I never use them."
"Okay. Let's hurry outta here so we can meet the guys downstairs, and we can leave here before Waluigi and Tatanga get back." Felicity, Daisy, and Peach leave the roon, and heads down the stairs to meet the guys.
Bowser
Bowser's eyes widen in shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing right before his eyes. He wish he could turn away from the sight in front of him, but he couldn't. He saw Mario and Luigi…
fast asleep in the room. How the hell could anyone sleep in a situation like this? Bowser walks toward them a little pissed off. He tries to wake up Mario in the sweetest way possible.
"Hey! You stupid plumber! Wake the hell up! I'm busting you and your cowardly brother outta here!" (Well, the sweetest way possible for him anyways). Mario stirs and opens his eyes to see Bowser facing him.
"Holy crap! Bowser! What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm here to bust you and your coward of a brother outta here! Duh!"
"But why?"
"Because that girl practically begged me to help her get you and my Peachie outta here from Tatanga's grubby alien hands. So, I agreed to help her because I felt bad for her. Sides, I'm the only one who marries my beloved Peachie and kill you got it?"
"Yeah. You mind getting me out of this chains?" Bowser grunts, but uses his claws to swipe the chains off of him, and Luigi. Mario goes to wake Luigi. After a few minutes, Luigi doesn't wake up.
"Luigi? Luigi get up." Luigi finally stirs and opens his eyes (Had you there for a minute didn't I?) to see Mario.
"Bro? What's going on?"
"You won the bet. Bowser's getting us outta here."
"Really? I guess I win. Thanks Bowser."
"Whatever. Let's just get outta here." Bowser, Mario, and Luigi and leave the rom to meet the girls at the stairs.
Five Minutes later…
Mario, Luigi, and Bowser are waiting impatiently at the botton of the stairs for the girls to come down the stairs. They won't to have wait anymore because Peach and Daisy finally arrive at the stairs and their eyes widen in shock to see the Marios bruised and bloodied, and even more shocked to see Bowser as well.
"Mario!"
"Luigi!"
"Bowser?" The princesses confusedly say in unison. The girls run to their respective guys and check their wounds.
"Are you two alright? What happened to you?" Peach says with extreme worry and concern in the voice as she checks Mario's wounds.
"Tatanga and Waluigi beat us up when they didn't find Felic. They're in the Mushroom Kingdom now, since they didn't find her here. They kinda let their anger out on us."
"Are any of your injuries really serious?"
"No. Just some cuts and bruises. We're fine Peach. How did you and Daisy get out?"
"That's easy! Felic let us out! Speaking of Felic, where is she? She was with us when we went down the stairs." Daisy says while looking around the room to find her. Everyone looks around for her. Felicity eventually emerges from the stiarcase, somewhat covered with dust. They turn to see her, and raises an eyebrow in confusion.
"Hey guys! Sorry I took so long. I kinda got lost, and ended up in another room." Felicity says as she brushes off the dust, and walks down the stairs. She sees Mario and Luigi and walks toward them.
"And what the heck happened to you two?"
"Tatanga and Waluigi." The brothers say in unison.
"Oh. Well then healina" Felicity says as she points to the brothers, and heals them of their injuries.
"Thanks for that kiddo."
"No problem. Now I can do this." Felicity says as she runs toward them and hugs them individually.
"Alright people! Let's get the heck outta here, so we can get back and eat some cake and ice cream!" Felicity says as they leave the front door, or what's left of it due to Bowser's flame breath melting it down.
"Leaving so soon? But the party has just started." The five heroes, and Bowser stop dead in their tracks, hearing the voice that they dreaded so much. They slowly turn around to see the two people they didn't want to see.
