"Mario would you please stop pacing? You're giving me motion sickness." Toad ushered as he watched Mario walking back and forth in front of Peach's throne.

His brow was furrowed as if the plumber was in deep thought. Though this was hard to see as Mario had his head down. His white gloves jammed into pockets on either side of his blue denim overalls. Mario had given no indication that he'd heard a word the little mushroom retainer said. Toad looked worriedly at Peach.

"Mario, you worry too much, I'm sure he's fine..." Mario looked up his expression changing in an instant.

"You really think so?" He asked hopefully

"Of course I do, he's a big boy Mario, and he can take care of himself..."

"But I can't help but worry. It's been two weeks since I've heard anything from him." Mario resumed his pacing.

"That's it I can't take it anymore..." Peach arose from her throne. Both Mario and Toad looked up.

"Mario I can't sit here and watch you pace the floors like some kind of a cadged tiger."

"But princess--"

"No buts Mario, what you need is a vacation, you're always running around helping and worrying about others but never about yourself. Yes I think that a vacation will do you some real good."

"But I can't leave yo...er... the kingdom unprotected what about--"

"Bowser?" Peach said finishing Mario's sentence. Mario nodded

"Bowser won't try to kidnap me because I won't be here I'm going on this vacation with you to make sure you relax and have a good time."

"But what about--" Mario started

"He's fine I'm sure of it, now, you're coming with me" Peach grabbed Mario's hand and dragged him off to the royal jet.

Toad stood alone in the now empty throne room looking quite lonely

"Toad are you coming?" The princess called

A huge smile spread across the little mushroom's face

"Wahoo I'm goanna go on vacation! And I'm goanna get to ride in the Royal Jet for the first time ever!" ^_^

My heart was only half in this so it's not very good I could have done better but didn't feel like it.

I may rewrite this if I ever feel the need; but don't hold your breath. ~ Jes :)
