PEACH'S WRATH
It was a lovely day outside - birds singing, bees humming as they collected nectar, the sun shining and a nice cool breeze outside, but Peach didn't want to go out. Certainly not. She'd get sunburned or stung by a bee, maybe. Peach smoothed out her beautiful dress that she had only acquired two hours before. Peach only wore each of her dresses once before announcing that it was battered. In fact, Peach was always so careful with her dresses that when she wore them, you couldn't even see the slightest bit of dirt on her dress. No one ever objected to this, however. After all, Peach was a princess, and, as Peach always told herself, princesses always get to do what they like. Well, most of the time. This dress was bought today because Peach was going to go out with her friend, Jean Lucrostic, for dinner at Shelly's, Peach's favorite restraunt.
Peach glanced at the clock anxiously. The clock ticked away slowly. Peach sighed and got off the chair she had been sitting on.
"What was I thinking?" Peach wailed to herself out loud. "It's not even five o'clock yet, and still I'm sitting here, waiting, when the dinner is more than three hours away! I guess I could use some of that make-up stuff Daddy gave me for my birthday last year."
Peach rushed up the stairs so fast Peach felt like she was flying. At the top of the stairs, she hollered,
"Bonzo, where are you? Bring me my Jade's Shades Make-up thing right now!" A short little servant appeared almost immediately with the Jade's Shades Make-up set in his hands.
"Is this what you were looking for, my majesty?" the servant trembled, stuttering and trembling on every word.
"Yes, Bonzo-butt! Now, scoot!" sniped Peach, snatching the set from Bonzo and stomping off to the bathroom.
Two hours and a half later, Peach emerged from the bathroom. She looked. well, very pretty. Her hair was curled up into two balls on the side of her head, giving her somewhat of a "Princess Leia" hairdo. Her cheeks were a rosy pink and Peach had inserted her best earrings in her soft, small ears. Bonzo fainted when he saw her.
"Bonzo, I'm going!" declared Peach. "Tell Daddy I've left, okay?" Bonzo nodded and began to sweep the floor.
Soon Peach arrived at Shelly's. Jean was already there in a white shirt and a plaid skirt.
"Good evening, Princess!" Jean cried, waving. Peach ran forward and hugged Jean. They were very good friends as you can see.
While waiting for their meal, Jean gabbed on and on. Jean loved to gossip and always knew what was going on throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach would always nod and let Jean continue. Most of the things Jean talked about were things Peach already knew about or were just plain silly. But one of Jean's topics caught Peach's attention.
"So, didja hear about Mario's new engagement?" Jean gossiped. Peach shook her head. She wasn't alarmed, well, not yet. Jean often heard rumors that weren't true, so Peach suspected Jean was just talking about a make-believe rumor. Jean continued,
"Luigi told me all about it. He says Mario is going out with a girl who just moved to Toad Town named Christina. He says Christina's very charming and cute."
The rest of the meal was in silence, for Peach had gotten a bit frustrated because Jean kept talking about how Mario probably set the whole thing of "Super Mario64" up to get famous, people began to stare. Peach had stuck a roll in Jean's mouth to make her stop talking. After that, Jean got the picture.
The next morning, Peach awoke from a terrible nightmare. She had dreamt about Mario. It wasn't a good dream about Mario. Peach dreamt that Mario really did have another girlfriend. Moreover, no matter how hard Peach tried to forget the dream, it kept haunting her. Therefore, poor Peach went to Luigi's to get clarification to see if Jean was correct.
"Ah, itsa Peach!" Luigi exclaimed as he opened the door and saw Peach. "Itsa been a long time, eh, no? Sit down at the table and I'll get some coffee! You like coffee, no?" Peach nodded and sat down.
"So, you sayin' you think Mario has new girlfriend, no? I am a dear friend and brother to Mario, so there nothin' I don't know, no? Itsa true, Peach, Mario dumpin' you for another girl, itsa true, itsa true. Pretty girl, she is. You met her, no?" Luigi said with his strong Italian accent. Peach daintily took a small sip of her bland coffee and murmured,
"No, I haven't yet met her. Luigi, by any chance do you know of Mario's whereabouts?" Luigi shrugged and replied,
"Mario been all about with new girl. He mighta be down near the post office in Toad Town. If he not there, you give up, no?" Peach pursed her lips for a few seconds before saying,
"Give up? No, I'm going to track him down." Luigi shrugged and announced,
"Well, Peach, itsa nice talkin' to you. Me gotta get down to grocery store, no? Mario gonna kill me if me don't get the groceries, no?"
Peach nodded and exited out of the house.
