I do not own Mario nor the other characters. I only own Toadine, Lakira, and Plumeria. Anyway R&R.

I hope you all like the ending for this chapter, to me, for being awake this late at night, It's pretty good.

It is now day three, the day Toadette hopes to wish Mario back to the Mushroom Kingdom. Toadette woke up in the cave and rubbed her eyes. She grabbed the Wishing Star Stone.

"I wish Mario was here." Toadette wished. She looked down, but the stone did not turn into sand like Plumeria said. "I must have to wait longer… that's just great."

Toadette tried to stand up, but her little feet were sore from running away from Toad yesterday.

Toad…

Realizing that Toad is still under Lakira and other's control, she busted into tears again. She's the last one left, The Mushroom Kingdom's fate lies in her hands, in the stone.

"Oh lord, please let me stay myself at least until I wish Mario back!"

Bowser was in the Mushroom Kingdom, sitting on King Toadstool's throne. Sitting in the throne beside him sat Peach, still dressed in black. Their attention turned to the door as Lakira, Kamek, and Toad entered.

"We captured one." Lakira said, "But there is yet another out there."

"And why haven't you captured the last one yet?" Bowser roared.

"She ran off. She realized Toad's not in control of himself anymore." Lakira told Bowser.

"Well get back out there and find her!" Bowser demanded. He was growing impatient.

Lakira noticed Bowser was growing impatient and didn't dare decline her orders, "Alright my lord, I'll leave right now!" Lakira didn't even bow, she just ran out the door.

Toadette left the safety of the cave in search for food, since she ate nothing for the last two days. She was right around the area Toad was. She saw the half eaten, now old melon that Toad was eating. Seeing that melon, Toadette figured there should be more around, so she walked around, and sure enough she found one. She broke it open just like Toad, and started to eat until.

"So this was where you've been!"

Toadette jumped and turned around. She gasped as she saw Lakira, and pressed her back against the tree, "Please, you took everyone else away from me, just let me be!"

"I'm sorry Toadette." Lakira said, "But I must obey my lord's orders."

"Why!" Toadette cried, "At least before you take me, tell me why you work for Bowser!"

Lakira sighed, "I wont tell the likes of you!"

"Fine, then what about Pauline?" Toadette asked, "What is she to Bowser?"

"A pawn." Lakira replied, "Bowser sent Pauline here to distract Mario while he sent me or Kamek to hypnotize Peach into giving us the kingdom, but due to Pauline taking Mario back to his world, Bowser had to change plans and… No! I'll say no more! I'm saying way to much already! Now stop stalling!" Lakira's staff appeared in her hand.

Toadette grabbed the stone and whispered, "Please! I wish Mario was here, we need him now!"

It was the last thing Toadette said, before Lakira used the staff to hypnotize Toadette just as the stone turned into sand. Lakira was about to leave with Toadette when she heard a male yell,

"What have you done to Toadette!"
