Before I go into this too much, I just want to say I DO NOT own anything from Mario Bros (Owned by Nintendo) Or My Summer Car (Owned by Amistech). As for who the main character is… well you'll know soon. So, without spoiler's this time, prepare your tools as we being start off the Summer with, "My Summer Peach".
"…And in today's news, reports of explosion at munitions factory leaves 40 killed and 60 left injured just yesterday due to gunpowder explosion (April 13, 1976. It's an actual event. Look it up.) In World news…" the man driving just turned off the radio of his aqua blue Satsuma as he continues down the country road of Suomi Finland as his wife has just gone into labor in the back seat as he keeps the car steady. "it's a boy Hun!" the woman exclaimed as she managed to give birth to a young baby boy.
SUOMI FINLAND 1976
Michel Aro IS BORN.
(Timeskip to 1995)
Michel P.O.V.
Years had passed since the day I was born many things had changed since then. Cars, technology, I even heard of a game called Super Mario Bros that took the game by storm, but my parents could never afford it. They were kind people but had a knack of leaving me on my own when I became 13. Ever since then they'd spend more and more time away from home as I got older going from an hour to just over a week. I am now 19 years old and now had my license for a year now.
However, a month after my 19th birthday, my parents left and hadn't come back, they left me a note on my fridge saying they'd come back when they got bored and that I should fix dad's old Satsuma, even though that car had been torn apart for years. They also said my uncle next door would loan his van to help me, but after a lucky betting game of Ventti with my good friend Pigman, I won his shack and his Ruscko Car so now I had another form of transport along with my Mini bike, Tractor, and Boat until I got the Satsuma up and running.
I woke up on Monday and like any other day as I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast only to say I was running low on food. "Sigh, better stop by Teimo's Shop again after I deliver the firewood." I currently had a call in to deliver a trailer load of firewood to a nearby house to earn a bit of cash. It wasn't much but it was enough for food and fuel until I can earn more for some new Satsuma parts. Even though I was currently waiting on a new ratchet set I ordered after saving up enough cash.
After I finished breakfast, I was about to head out when I heard the phone ring. I answered it as I heard Teimo on the other end. "Hey kid, your post order arrived, you can pick it up when you stop by." I then hung up the phone and sighed in relief. "it's about time that ratchet set arrived." I then headed to the barn smiling to myself as I then grabbed my ax and started chopping some logs.
(Timeskip Three Hours Later)
I Had just finished the Delivery and was given a good 750mk for the firewood and was now on my way to Teimo's with the Ruscko to pick up some food and the ratchet set. When I arrived. Teimo was waiting by his counter as usual as he saw me walk in. "Ah, Welcome to Tei- oh it's just you." Teimo said as I walked in "Well that's a fine how do you do…" I said as I started collecting food as he just kept adding to my bill that already included fueling up the Ruscko when I had arrived. After I finished, I had to pay a bill of about 500mk for the fuel and food. "Say you said my post order arrived. So where is it." I said as I then payed the 250mk payment for the delivery. "It's right here." Teimo said as he put not only my ratchet set but a cardboard tube on the counter.
"That's the ratchet set alright, but I didn't order this." I said as I pointed to the tube. "I think that one was from your wandering parents." Teimo said as I grabbed the rachet set and the cardboard tube. "Oh really? Wonder what they sent this time. Well thanks again." I said as I began to leave. "Thanks for visiting" Teimo said as I walked back to the Ruscko and took off.
About a Half an Hour later I made it back to the house as I put my new rachet set in the garage next to my spanner set and went to the living room and opened the cardboard tube. Once I opened it a note fell out and as I read it sure enough was from my parents.
"We Know we've been gone longer than you would have liked and don't know when we will come back so from us, we got a new game for that NES that we got you on your 18th birthday. Plus, a little something extra. Hope you enjoy it and hope to see you when we can. Loving wishes, Mom and Dad".
After reading the letter I grabbed the tube again to see a cartridge fall out of the tube and to my surprise it was the Super Mario Bros game that I was wanting ages ago and had forgotten about. Before I looked at it any further, I then grabbed what felt like a large rolled up paper inside the tube and pulled it out to see a poster of Mario bros which featured Princess Peach. Although I never knew much of the game I knew about the brothers and the princess which was captured by an evil lizard king or something… I always felt bad for her even though she was just a fictional character.
After I put up the Super Mario bros cartridge in my NES by a loan tv from my friend jokke for later, and put up the poster in my room along with my Satsuma Gt poster, I headed to the garage to start work on the Satsuma with the new ratchet set.
As I had finished putting on the back-wheel assembly my phone rang and I ran to answer it thinking it was another firewood job. As I answered the phone all I heard was someone laughing maniacally non-stop. "Ok whoever this is you got the wrong number." I said as I hung up the phone and returned to work on the Satsuma."
Once I had put on the front-wheel assembly and managed to roll the Satsuma into the garage as it was just sitting outside it began to rain as I felt tired and beat as I entered the house. As I entered the living room a stream of lightning zapped across the sky outside and I decided to unplug my phone and turn off the lights. Then I lit the fireplace to at least give me a bit of light. As I then yawned and started to head to bed, Jokke's Tv suddenly turned on, and what I saw was strange. There on the screen was Princess Peach from the Super Mario Bros game running from some strange creatures which I assumed were from the Super Mario bros game. Then suddenly the screen shone brightly as I then had to shield my eyes. Then just as another bolt of lightning struck across the Sky, I felt something hit me and I blacked out for a second.
As I gained consciousness again, I saw that the light was gone, even though the tv was still on, and that the lightning had dimmed down but the rain was still pouring heavily outside. "phew", 'what just happened there?' I thought as I then notice a strange woman in a pink ballgown on the floor unconscious like I was. "uh oh, uh… hello? Are you ok?" I said as I then heard her began to hear her gaining consciousness. As I looked closer, she looked up and saw me. I then saw the face and realized it was The Princess Peach from the Super Mario Bros game. I jumped in fright as did she as we both screamed in fear only then to finally calm down a few seconds. "whoa you scared me, sorry if I startled you, my name is Princess Peach." She said as I looked in Surprise. "The Princess Peach? Wow…" I said as she then looked to me with a smile.
"And who might you be?" Peach asked as I then shook off my daze. "Oh, I'm Michel, Michel Aro." I said as I then smiled back at her. "Would it be alright with you if I stayed here for a bit?" Peach asked me as I looked to her with shock on my mind. 'The Princess Peach is asking me if she wants to stay here? Wait… but why?' I thought as I soon got my answer as Peach gasped again when I turned my back to see a giant lizard thing… on the tv screen. "What the?! Who's that? What is that?" I asked as I saw the creature starting to walk closer as if it was coming for us. "That's King Bowser Koppa. He's been causing so much chaos in my kingdom." As I then heard the large koopa laugh manically and I instantly recognized it from the phone call earlier. Then to my horror Bowser's hand then reached out of the screen like some odd magic and the rest of him followed as he towered over me and Peach as she hid behind me.
"Suddenly in an act of protecting the Princess I managed to gain courage. "Alright mate I don't know where you came from. But this is my home! And I won't let you harm Peach while I'm here!" I said as Bowser then slapped my entire body across the room as I landed by the fireplace. In desperation Peach tried to pound Bowser with one of my Fireplace tools only to be grabbed by Bowser unable to break free as she called out to me.
"Michel! Michel Help!" I looked up and she was in danger and in desperation I saw a log tongs and remembered my fireplace was still lit. I then grab the log tongs and grabbed a burning log and just as Bowser was about to reenter the tv screen with Peach, I place the burning log on his tail and he roared in agony and he threw Princess Peach and got sucked back in the screen without her but took the burning firewood with him.
Peach screamed as she few across the room but I managed to catch her in my arms as she then smiled to me. Just then I heard Bowser roar in fury in the screen as he then looked like he was coming back. In more desperation I threw the log tongs at the tv shattering the screen and the picture disappeared along with Bowser. Both me and Peach sighed in relief knowing Bowser wouldn't be able to get back through. But secretly I knew I was in for an earful with Jokke for smashing up his tv.
"Thank you for saving me Michel." Peach said as she then hugged me, I blushed a bit from this but then returned it. "uh… you're welcome." I said as I then looked outside to see that the rain had stopped and the sky turned to night. After the hug parted Peach gave off a yawn which I knew after what she went through was probably tired. And in truth for the day I had, so was I. after I led her to my room, she immediately noticed the poster of her in my room and I told her about how I received it from my parents. Still it was strange to see the real deal in front of me. As she lied down, she instantly fell asleep as I covered her with my blankets.
I knew I needed a place to sleep and I knew my couch would be horrible. But then I remembered the back seat for the Satsuma was still ready to be placed, so I went to the garage and with the last of my energy I installed the back seat earlier than planned. After finished I was too beat and tired to go any further and instantly fell asleep on the back seat. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, it was better than lying the couch.
As I slept that night I kept thinking about Peach and wondering if this was all a dream, if it was, she would disappear in the morning, but if not, well I'll be the first to know. Either way I still knew tomorrow would be a new day. One way or another. Only time would tell.
To Be Continued… Hopefully…
Well what have I done.
