I manage to get into the upper lobby before anyone else can notice Peach around my arm. My room has a white theme, very sparse, with a hard bed next to the window and my outfits in the closet next to the bed. I sit her down. She looks angry and ready to kill, but that look leaves immediately when I aim my dagger, still with blood on it and spell out S-C-R-E-A-M A-N-D Y-O-U D-I-E with an honest look on my face. I then exit the room and go into Boswer's personal room.
Boswer, it turns out, was still sleeping soundly in his bedroom during the entire mission. He awakens once I approach the bed, as if by clockwork. "Uggg…morning, Sergeant. Got anything good for me today?" I'm not in the mood to start any joyful banter, I've had a hard day. So I wordlessly pull out the Destiny Spear. "Great!" he exclaims. "You're one of the best military personnel I've had, you realize that? I- oh, Kammy! Look at this!" I look behind me and see Kammy out in the lobby, with another one of her trademark staffs. She takes a quick glance at the sparkling translucent spike, gave a nod of approval, and wandered off. Boswer sighed and muttered about placing it somewhere safe and went out the back door to the balcony.
When I came back in, Peach was sitting to herself, looking down on the floor. I sat down on the bed with her and just sat there, trying to make some semblance of what to do with myself for the evening. Suddenly, she murmured "What is your name?" This confused me for a moment, but then I remembered how much she'd been captured before, so I guess she was used to this. "My name is Sergeant." I stated. She walked over to the window and looked out on the vast sun-soaked ocean. "Well, Sergeant," she asked, "shouldn't you be taking me to Boswer or whoever?" I ponder about this for a moment, and then I realize something. "No.", I say to her, "I'm not taking you to him." This seems to startle her, and before she can respond, I say, "I have to go-business.", and I'm out the door.
I'm splashing water on my face to wake myself up in the bathroom. The implications of what I've just done hit me square in the face, and now I'm worried. Capturing Peach was a seriously bad idea. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do with her. The whole Mushroom Kingdom will have news of her kidnapping, and pretty soon news of this will reach us by the time we land next. What am I going to do now? And for that matter, what made me kidnap her in the first place?
