Chapter 3: Princess
"Move out of the way!" yelled a nurse as she moved in to do CPR.
A team of doctors rushed in to save the boys life. They gave him all sorts of medicine and hooked him up to all sorts of tubes. One doctor took two paddles and shocked the boy's heart.
"Clear!" he yelled and shocked the boy again, no response.
"Clear!" again he tried, and this time, success! The boy's heart rate and pulse grew steadily and slowly.
"Oh dear, that was close," exclaimed the King, "we could have lost our only clue to the killer."
"True, but then we would be out of a job." Said Luigi.
They decided to come back later and talk to the boy. They walked down the hall to the Prince's room and opened the door. The Prince was writing something on a piece of paper.
"What's that?" asked Luigi.
"Wha?!? Oh, hi guys. This is a letter to my son back home telling him what is going on and when I will be back." Replied the Prince, startled at their sudden arrival.
"Sorry," said Mario, "we haven't spoken to the boy yet because when we were in there, his heart monitor went flat so we left."
"Okay. I am going to finish this letter so you guys go do whatever."
The King, Mario, and Luigi, went on a little walk in the courtyard. They walked by the place were Peach's body had been discovered. There were still some bloodstains on the ground that a few mushroom servants were still cleaning. Peach's body had been buried yesterday next to her mother's. As they reached the end of the courtyard closest to the front of the castle, they heard some arguing and screaming. They went along the narrow passage that Porcini had led the brothers and were greeted to a coach with it's door open, and a couple mushroom guards yelling at someone, and them yelling back.
"Move aside!" said the King in a stern voice as he walked towards the coach.
The guards stepped aside and there was a beautiful girl standing there. She was wearing a red dress with lace trim at the bottom. She was wearing white gloves that touched her elbows and a little crown with a jewel in the center. Her hair was black and straight and she seemed rather short.
"Who might I ask are you?" inquired the King.
"I came looking for Princess Peach Toadstool," she said I response.
"Maybe you haven't hear the news, but, umshe was found murdered three days ago." Said Luigi.
"Who are you anyway?" asked Mario again.
"I am Princess Jennifer Toadstool. I am the daughter of Peach."
