Chapter 17

Mario and Peach hugged their children tightly as they were told the truth. "So my life and my husband's life. It's all a mistake?" Peach sobbed.

"Sweetheart, don't-a say that! Yet, it all makes a lot of sense." Mario added.

"So you remember us?" Yoshi asked hopefully. Mario squinted his eyes and after a while, shook his head no. Daisy was agitated.

"Bummer, guess we have no choice..." She pulled out the cellphone for Merlon and turned it on. "Yo, Merlon. We're going for option 3! Make a portal." She informed. Almost instantly, a black hole like portal formed behind them. "Alright you 2 get in!" Daisy barked. Mario and Peach didn't move.

"No! We're not going." Mario and Peach refused. Luigi was surprised at the response they made.

"What!? Big bro, why?"

"I may not remember my old life, but I'm pretty sure my life here was a million times better than what your telling me. I have a family here Lui- no! Little bro! A family! I don't want to lose it." Mario sobbed as he got to his knees and broke down. Then Lucile gave a glimmer of hope to all of them.

"What if me and Ronnie go in too?" Lucile suggested. Before anyone could stop her, she continued on. "Momma! You said there was a blessing in every curse! If this curse works how I think it works, then we could just start over in that new place! Plus, our lives may be even better there!" She explained. The heroes thought for a long moment until Daisy broke the silence.

"It's worth a shot." She said casually. Mario and Peach hugged both their children tightly, took a deep breath, and jumped into the black void. Bowser, Grodus, and Crump found them just in time to see the 4 off. The portal closed, leaving them all standing there.
