Sorry it took so long to make this chapter. I was helping my grandparents, aunt, and cousins move into their new house and I lost my motivation again lol. But I'm finally making chapter 2! I hope you enjoy it :D

Disclaimer: I only own my FC!

Mario and his friends were on their way to Bowser's Castle to save Jasmine. They went back to Peach's Castle to grab more power ups and began to leave the Mushroom Kingdom.

"I hope Jasmine is alright." Peach said.

"Don't worry Princess. I'm sure she's fine." Mario replied.

"Yeah! We'll get her back." Daisy added. Peach looked at them and smiled.

"Alright. Let's keep going." She said.

Jasmine opened her eyes and looked around.

"Where am I?" She said to herself. Then she remembered what happened earlier.

"Oh yeah. Bowser kidnapped me and now I'm in that guy's room." Jasmine said as she rolled her eyes. She looked around the room again.

"Wait a minute. Where is Ludwig?-Wait, why do I even care?" She said to herself. Jasmine sighed and sat on the bed.

"What do I do until Mario and the others get here? I can't try to escape. They'll just catch me and throw me into a cell." Jasmine thought for a moment.

"Maybe I'll just walk around the castle for a bit." Jasmine then got up, walked to the door, and opened it. She didn't see any Koopa Troopas or Goombas around so she closed the door and walked through the hall.

"Y'know, this castle is kinda nice." Jasmine whispered. She saw many pictures of Bowser on the walls and some of Bowser Jr and the Koopalings. She walked passed some more doors, assuming the rooms were the rest of the Koopalings and Bowser Jr's. She made it to another hallway with a few more doors. As she walked, she felt a small hand grab hers.

"Huh?" Jasmine looked down and saw Bowser Jr staring at her.

"Hey! What are you doing?" He asked.

"Oh hi Junior! I was just looking around the castle." Jasmine explained.

"Wait...You mean you weren't trying to escape?" He asked.

"Nah. Pretty sure I'd get caught like last time." Jasmine replied.

"Oh...Well, the others are in the playroom. You wanna hang out with us?" Bowser Jr asked.

"Sure!" Jasmine smiled and followed him to the playroom.

Bowser Jr introduced Jasmine to the rest of his siblings. Jasmine finally got to know them and thought that each one was cool. She decided to talk to Roy and Morton for a bit. As she talked to them, Jasmine noticed that one Koopaling was missing.

"Hey. Where's Ludwig?" She asked.

"He's probably in the Ballroom. His piano is in there." Lemmy explained.

"You wanna see him play?" Jr asked.

"Hmm. Ok!" Jasmine replied.

Jasmine followed Jr to the ballroom. She heard the piano getting louder as they made it closer to the door. Bowser Jr opened it and they saw Ludwig playing his new music.

"His music is sooo boring!" Bowser Jr whined.

"It's not my favorite type of music, but this sounds beautiful." Jasmine thought. She watched as Ludwig finished playing his music and slowly walked over to him, Jr following her.

"I really liked your music." Jasmine said. Ludwig looked at her surprised. He didn't notice the two enter the room.

"Thank you...What are you doing here?" Ludwig replied.

"I was wondering where you went off to." Jasmine said. She glanced at the piano.

"Um Ludwig...Can I listen to more?" She asked.

"Wait, you want to?" He asked.

"Yeah. I mean, it's not what I normally listen to, but it was beautiful." Jasmine smiled. Ludwig looked away, his face turning pink.

'Um...s-sure." He finally replied.

"Ugh! I'm not listening to that. I'm going to my room." Jasmine waved as Jr left the ballroom. She looked back at Ludwig. He moved to one side of the bench so Jasmine could sit next to him.

Jasmine watched as Ludwig flipped through his sheet music until he found a song in the middle.

"I'm really proud of this one." He said and began to play. Jasmine smiled as she listened to the melody.

I hope this chapter was alright. I'm gonna try to work on the next one soon.
