Hi! I'm gonna be a little busy tomorrow so I'm posting this chapter now. I hope this one is good.

Disclaimer: I only own Jasmine!

Bowser was walking through the halls of the castle, a little annoyed. He was looking for his oldest son to get ready before Mario and the others arrived. Bowser jr was back and Wendy, Iggy, Lemmy, and Morton decided to go to their castles early and wait. Bowser hasn't seen Ludwig in awhile and was getting frustrated.

"Argh! Where is Ludwig!?" Bowser yelled. As he walked through another hall, he heard a laugh coming from outside.

"What?" Bowser looked out of the window and glanced over at a tree. He saw Ludwig resting his head on Jasmine while she messed with his hair. Bowser smirked and walked away.

"Meh, I guess he can wait a little longer."

The four were getting closer to the Koopa Kingdom. They defeated Iggy, Lemmy, and Wendy and were on their way to another airship.

"Ugh, not another one!" Daisy whined.

"Is Bowser jr in this one?" Peach asked.

"Hmm. He might be." Luigi replied. As they walked, they ran into a group of Koopa Troopas. Mario jumped on one of them and kicked the Koopa's shell, knocking down the others.

"Good job Mario!" Peach cheered, making him blush.

"U-Um, we should stop at a Toad House after this." Mario said.

"Yeah you're right. We're running out of items." Luigi replied.

"Well, you guys ready?" Mario asked.

"Yeah!" The three said. They then ran and defeated more minions until they made it to the airship.

"Ludwig?" Jasmine said as she gently shook him.

"Hm?" Ludwig slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

"I think it's almost time for you to go to your castle." Jasmine said.

"Oh." Ludwig replied. They were silent again. Then Jasmine hugged Ludwig tightly.

"I really hope the others don't hurt you too bad." Jasmine said. Ludwig hugged her back.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine." He replied.

Ludwig and Jasmine went back inside of the castle and went to his room.

"You can stay here until they come." Ludwig said.

"Oh alright." Jasmine replied and sat down on the bed. Ludwig sat next to her.

"Y'know, I had fun hanging out with you guys." Jasmine smiled at him.

"I had fun too." Ludwig said. Ludwig looked away from her.

"I wish I could talk to you more." He said. Jasmine thought for a moment.

"Well, maybe you can." Jasmine said.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Maybe you can come visit me in Brooklyn. I'm sure we'll have fun!" Jasmine replied.

"Really?" Ludwig said.

"Of course! I'm on vacation right now so we can hang out whenever you want." Jasmine explained.

"Hmm. I don't think I'm busy tomorrow if you want to then." Ludwig suggested.

"That's great-Wait a minute!" Jasmine exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Ludwig asked, confused.

"What if everyone freaks out seeing a Koopa in New York? Well, in the real world period." Jasmine said.

"It's ok. I can disguise as a human." Ludwig replied.

"Oh, well that's good. I guess I'll wait for you near the warp pipe." Jasmine smiled.

Soon the rest of the Koopalings and Bowser were defeated by Mario and the others. Jasmine was saved and the group started heading back to the Mushroom Kingdom. Daisy looked at Jasmine and noticed something in her hair.

"Hey Jasmine? When did you put that flower in your hair?" She asked.

"Oh it's pretty!" Peach added.

"Should I tell them the truth?" Jasmine thought.

"Oh, um I found it near Bowser's Castle." Jasmine lied.

"Sorry Ludwig..." She thought.

"I guess we can play Baseball another time." Peach said.

"Yeah. That'd be fun!" Jasmine replied. She started getting lost in her thoughts as they continued heading to the Mushroom Kingdom.

That's it for now! :)
