The postman went made it to the Mario Brothers house, which was a few miles away from Toadstool Castle. Because of this, he did not hear the skirmish that was taking place during his trip. "Hope these boys enjoy their letters," said the mailman approaching the steps to the Mario Brothers house. "The princesses seem to be quite fond of them." The mailman knocked on the door several attempts until Mario finally arose out of his bed and approached the mailman. "Good day Mario. I have a letter for both you and Luigi from the princesses." The mailman smiled as he delivered the letters to him.

"Thank you good sir. But isn't it a little too early to deliver the mail. It must be ten'o clock or something around that time." Mario then yawned, indicating he was still tired and ready to continue the sleep he was in since last night.

"Very funny Mario. But it's actually two in the afternoon. Have a good day sir." The mailman then went on his merry way, happy that he got the rest of the day off, unaware that if he went back to the castle, he would have seen the kidnapping of the princesses and the battle that took place.

"Mama Mia I overslept." Mario thought as he went inside, placing the letters on the nearby countertop in the kitchen as he went to wake Luigi up from his slumber. "Guess we had too much fun last night." The new Mario Brother's house was much roomie and bigger compared to the apartment they had in Brooklyn. They also didn't have the landlord or complaining tenants to deal with since it was a house altogether with no neighbors within a couple of miles. Ever since their last adventure, they had been goofing off and having fun like they did as kids, or spending their time with the lovely princesses who had been close friends with them for the past two months. In the back of their minds though, both Mario and Luigi wanted that to change as they yearned to have something more with them. "I wonder what Peach has sent me." Was all that Mario could think about as thoughts of Peach swam in his head all at once. He then approached Luigi's room, who was still asleep. He wanted to play a prank on Luigi and so he went to the kitchen. He grabbed a bucket, put some water in it, and then ran up to Luigi's room. He then poured the water all over Luigi, causing him to fall out of his bed with Mario saying "WAKE UP LUIGI!" really loud which startled him.

"MARIO!" yelled Luigi upset with the fact he was soaked in water as well as his bed. "Why did you do that?"

Mario looked at Luigi with a sheepish grin. "I thought it would be funny and it was." Mario chuckled to himself for a good while, much to Luigi's chagrin.

"Well whatever. What time is it?" Mario then pointed to the clock in his room, which Luigi read indicating that it was two in the afternoon. "I overslept. But when we were plumbing we always would wake up early and…oh right we're heroes."

"Yeah, we get a few liberties now that we're heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. Now come downstairs, there's a letter for you from Princess Daisy."

"Ok, be down in a minute." Mario went to his room to get changed into his regular clothes, while Luigi said the same thing, desiring the fact he was going to get out of his soaked pajamas. "I wonder what Daisy sent me." He thought as he now had thoughts of Daisy swimming in his mind. After changing, both brothers went downstairs as they went to go get their letters from the princesses.

The letter sent to Mario was given to him in a pink envelope and addressed to Mario with a heart taking place of the dot in the i written in red ink. Mario opened the envelope and proceeded to read the letter.

Dear Mario,

Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Yours truly

Princess Toadstool (Peach)

"She's so thoughtful." Thought Mario holding the letter, thinking about holding Peach's hand when he would get over to the castle. "Today's the day…I have to try otherwise I won't know whether I will succeed or fail."

The letter sent to Luigi was giving to him in an orange envelope and addressed to Luigi with a heart taking place of the dot in the i written in green ink. Luigi opened the envelope and proceeded to read the letter.

Dear Luigi,

Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Yours truly

Princess of Sarasaland (Daisy)

"What a woman." Luigi thought who was completely smitten with Daisy. "I've got to find the nerve right now when I get there to ask her out. It's time I've faced one of my fears."

Luigi and Mario both looked at each other, as they both knew what the other was going to say. "LET'S A GO!" And just like that, the Mario Brothers took off, eager to spend today with the princesses, just like it was going to be any other day.

Meanwhile back at Toadstool Castle, Bowser had exited from the bunker due to a secret elevator he had discovered in the bunker, allowing him entrance into the main hall. Since the Ranger was undergoing his own voyage behind the big Red Star door, Bowser could freely be in his true form without discovery by the Ranger. In both arms were both Peach and Daisy, still knocked out from the heavy blows he had dealt them previously, but he knew they would stir up pretty soon. "I've got to hurry and set myself up." Bowser thought as he carried the princesses up the stairs into the upper part of the castle, which the Ranger had unlocked before venturing forward. Before doing so, Bowser wanted all the attention of the Koopas and Goombas that were in the main hall. "Go into every painting and find those blasted stars. If you find the plumbers, stall them or eliminate them if you can. I got to prepare for their arrival." With that Bowser closed the door behind him, locked it and proceeded to the upper portion of the castle. The Koopa troops themselves went into the paintings that Bowser assigned them to, and waited patiently for the arrival of the Mario Brothers.
