Toadette: Yay! Peach's party is tonight!
Toad: Oh yeah that reminds me. You lucked out. Merlon's coming to visit. I asked him to bring the medicene.
Toadette: You didn't tell him.
Toad: Don't worry. I didn't tell him why.
Toadette: Ya'll must be tight if he let's you handle such dangerous and powerful black magic without reason.
Toad: I wasn't that easy. I still gave him a reason.
Toadette: What was it.
Toad: Because of the rating of this fanfic, I rather not say.
Toadette: That is a bunch of crap. Don't give me none of that!
Toad: Ok. I told him that my friend need it as a ransom for his kidnapped mother. Merlon cannot resist helping people.
Toadette: Ok. Do you want to see my dress?
Toad: Nope. I want it to be a surprise for tonight.
Toadette blushed.
Voice: Awww. My little sis is going on her first grown up date.
They turned around and saw Toadette's brother standing in front of them.
Toadette: Leroy! How did you get in here?
Leroy: The front door was open.
Toadette: Why are you here? How much did you hear?
Leroy: Enough to now that you have a boyfriend.
Toadette + Toad: (blushing) He's/she's not my boyfriend/girlfriend!
Leroy: Sure. Aren't you going to introduce my to your friend?
Toadette: Oh yeah. Toad this is my older brother Leroy.
Leroy: Hey.
Toadette: Leroy this is my boyfriend..ur..friend Toad.
Toad: (blushing harder) Hi. Leroy: Ha! You admited it!
Toadette: Shut up! Your embrassing me!
Leroy: Sorry. I'll leave.
He let the castle. Toad and Toadette were blushing really hard.
Toad: So um I got to go cause I hear Peach calling me. Bye!
Toad started to run but Toadette stopped him.
Toadette: Oh no you don't! How stupid do I look?
Peach: TOAD! COME DOWN HERE!
Toad: See ya!
He ran in to the parlor to Peach.
Toad: Great timing Peach. What's up?
Peach: (holding up two pieces of cloth) Which color is better? Carnation pink or Ruby red?
Toad: Hmm. Trick question. I would pick...Ruby red.
Peach: Ok. So that means that I should pick the pink.
Toad: What! I picked the red!
Peach: I know. But I knew you long enough to know not to trust your judgement.
Toad: So you don't respect me?
Peach: Nope. That's why I pay everybody much more than I pay you.
Toad: HOW COULD YOU PLAY ME LIKE THAT PEACH!
Peach: Calm down. I was just kidding. But I'm choosing pink because red was out voted.
Toad: Oh. I knew that.
Peach: Sure. So how's things with you and Toadette?
Toad: Good. But her brother is embarassing. Peach: I guess family members can be like that if something important happens in your life.
Toad: I guess. Who else did you invite?
Peach: Well the people you know is Mario, Luigi, Daisy, you, Toadette, Yoshi, Birdo, DK, and Candy Kong just to name a few.
Toad: It's just couples right?
Peach: Yep. Did you know Merlon's coming to visit?
Toad: Yes.
The doorbell rang.
Peach: That could be him know.
Luigi: I'LL GET IT!
He rushed to open the door. Merlon walked in.
Merlon: Well hello Green Mario!
Luigi: It's Luigi.
Merlon: I know. I'm just pulling your leg.
Mario, Daisy, Yoshi, Peach, Toadette, and Toad went to greet him.
Everyone except Toadette: Hey Merlon!
Merlon: Hello! My it's been a while. I see a new face here.
Peach: This is Toadette. She my new assistant.
Merlon: Hello. I'm Merlon.
Toadette: Nice to meet you.
He got something out of his pocket.
Merlon: Here you go Toad. I bid your friend good luck.
Toad: (taking the item) Thank you.
Peach: What was that about?
Toad: A personal issue.
Mario: So. How was your travel to the Nimbus kingdom?
Merlon: Very interesting! In fact, I have a very interesting legend that I learned that I want to share.
Daisy: Great! (thinking) Oh god.
Merlon: Gather around.
Everone sat around him.
Merlon: It is the legend of the greatest sorceress in the world Diatris the Great.
Toadette twitched and started to sweat a little.
Merlon: It was about a sorceress who protected the Nimbus kingdom 15 years ago. She was the most powerful in the world. She spent her most of her days fighting demons to protect her people. One day she fell in love with a normal man. Eventually they got married and had children. Two to be exact.
Mario: This is boring. Where's the action?
Merlon: It's coming. Anyway, she had two kids. One was a boy. 12 years later she had a girl. Before the girl was born the father mysteriously died. Then the child was born. The sorceress's daughter inherted her mother's power. In fact she was stronger. Diatris had many enemies. The most powerful was her own twin brother Dante. Dante was jealous of his sister's power. Out of all the battles they fought, he always lost. When Dante heard about the baby girl's power he wanted it. He kidnapped the helpless child.
Toadette: (thinking) What?
Peach: Ooo. This is interesting!
Merlon: Dante stole the child's power but keep her. Diatris went to rescue her daughter. It took all of her strength to rescue her. It took even more to throw down Dante. She couldn't kill him and ended up dying herself. Dante lost his power and it was returned to the child. Dante vowed that he would come back to steal back her power. Before Diatris died she erased her daughter's memory and made her son vow not to tell her.
Tears started to stream down Toadette's face.
Mario: Wow. I pity the girl. The brother probably lied to kept the secert.
Toadette blew her top.
Toadette: (angry and crying) HOW DARE HE LIE TO ME LIKE THAT?
Everybody looked at her. Toadette got embarassed and ran to her room. Toad followed her.
Toadette: GO AWAY LEAVE ME ALONE!
Toad: What is wrong?
Toadette: I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!
With that she vanished into thin air.
Toad: Oh no.
Toadette reappeared at her house. She literally stormed into the house. Wind and rain poured in. Lightning crackled and thunder boomed. Leroy backed into a corner.
Leroy: Toadette! What in the world is wrong with you!
Toadette: YOU LIED TO ME!
Leroy: What?
Toadette: YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT OUR MOTHER! I HEARD THE TRUTH! MOTHER DIED PROTECTING ME!
Leroy: Alright alright. Calm yourself down.
The storm stopped. Toadette fell to the ground for she was winded. (No pun intended)
Leroy: Look. I'm sorry for the lies but it was mother's last sincere wish.
Toadette: But there is a mad man after me!
Leroy: True. But he won't be able to find you if you keep your damn mouth shut.
Toadette: I'm sorry. It's just that I'm upset about hearing my actual past is different than what was said.
Leroy: It's ok. Your just stressed. I suggest that you rest.
Toadette: Your right. I should skip the party.
Leroy: But you'll break Toad's heart.
Toadette: I know. But I don't feel well enough to go.
She teleported back to the castle. Everybody stared at her.
Peach: What was that all about?
Mario: Yeah. That was totally uncalled for.
Toadette: I'm sorry I.
Toad: Leave her be. She's been through enough.
Toadette: Thanks Toad, but I think they should know.
Daisy: Know what?
Toadette: This may surprise you but the girl in the story...was me.
Luigi: You? No wonder. I knew something was up with you.
Toadette: (angerily) Well I guess it all comes to dawn!
Toad: Please don't be upset.
Peach: Yeah please don't. We still want you around. Right guys?
Everyone: Yes!
Toadette: Thanks guys. Toad may I speak to you in private?
Toad: Ok.
He followed him into the other room.
Toadette: I...
She paused. She thought for a while and felt this wasn't the best decision in the world.
Toad: You what?
Toadette: Never mind.
Author's note: Yes there is also drama in this fanfic. A story ain't complete without a little suspense. Don't worry,
