Now, I guess it is time to tell you more about this story. I've written it along my journey at nightm to pass the time(or if they ever make a movie about this "to let the world know my story). It's been hard for me to write everything that happened to me before this. And trying to write everything that has happened in me in one day is hard too.

Me and Luigi looked at our surroundings.

"Mario...this is beautiful," he said.

"I know. But looks can be deceiving, and we're not here to see the scenery."

We were surrounded by tons of grass and flowers, that seemed to go on forever. I admit it was a great sight, but I was preocupied.

"Now, let me see this map," I said. "We are here, and the King's palace is way on the other side of the country. We'll want to avoid as much of these danger zones as we can, so instead of going the long we going through the first zone, we can head down here as a short cut."

I turned south and started running, trying to get to the danger zone 5. But, all of a sudden, I brick wall appeared infront of me. And it appeared on the map.

"It must be one of those castles Toad told us about," Luigi said. "According to map, th entrance is down east, so we'll have to go past zones 1 and 2, and then we can head down to the castle."

"Damn" I said. "We can just go around it, can't we."

I saw the corner of the castle a few yards away from me. I ran to get past it, but as long as I ran, the castle wall kept growing.

"It's no use Mario. You heard what Toad said, we can't get past them."

"Fine."

I headed back up to the dirt road we were at before, and headed straight. According to the map, we had just entered the first danger zone.

I didn't look all to dangerous. The land was still as beautiful as before, and there was a huge tree infront of me. We kept walking, and I saw why it was dangerous. A goomba.

It headed towards us, it's sharp teeth ready to devour us. Luigi jumped over it, and then kicked it away.

"Good ridence," he said.

There were some golden blocks up ahead. I punched one and a coin came out. I never really understood these blocks, Toad said they were like seeds, where all sort of magic things would grow out of.

Me and Luigi had an agreement, whoever gets to it first gets to keep it. I put the coin in my backpack, that Toad had given me. Luigi got the next 2 coins, but I beat to the last one, and a mushroom came out. I ate it, and my body came over the magical sensation it always did. My body started growing, and feeling stronger, like out of Alice In Wonderland(or Mario in The Mushroom World)

We across 2 huge blocks, which had obviously been put there by Bowser. Me being shorter than my brother, got a boost from him to get up. Luigi then climbed up himself. We jumped off down the other side.

There was a green pipe coming out of the ground infront of us.

"Hmm, could be a trap," I said.

"But it could just get us somewhere we want to be," answered Luigi. "I'll go see myself." Luigi slowly walked towards the pipe. Just then, a plant arose from it. It was a piranah plant, they hid inside the pipes and tried to attack us when we came near.

Luigi stood right next to the pipe, which would make the piranah go inside. I climbed onto the pipe, and Luigi came after me. We ran away before it could get us with its fireballs.

I got a coin from out of a block infront of me, as Luigi killed a goomba. I went ahead, jumped on top a koopa troopa, and kicked its shell away. But as I did this, the shell hit a block that was on the ground, and a red leaf came out of it.

"What is this?" I said.

"I don't know. Looks like a leaf."

"Well, no duh Luigi! Hmm, it could be something that could help us, like flowers."

"But do you really want to test that out? It could be poison."

"Toad gave us 4 lives before we left. Even if it is dangerous, nothing bad will happen." I opened my mouth, and took a bite from the leaf. I got the same feeling I got from eating a mushroom. "Well, I don't feel any different."

"Uh, Mario...look at your back."

"Huh, why?" I turned around, and saw I had grown a tail. "AHH! Oh My God!"

"Maybe, you should feel the top of your head too..."

I did, and felt 2 pointy things.

"What happened? Am I growing horns!"

"No, actually, they're ears. You kinda look like a racoon."

"What the hell good is this!" But just then, 3 goombas started at us. Luigi got the first one, but the second went between his legs, and the third(who had wings) flew over his head.

The 2 of them came charging at me, at a speed I never thought goombas could travel. As if by instinct, I twirled my tail around, killing them both.

"Wow, Mario! How did you do that"

"I don't know. Maybe that's what this thing does."

"No, it isn't Mario," I heard a voice, and it definately was not Luigi.

"Who said that!" screamed Luigi.

"It's me guys, Toad. I am communicating to you psychicaly. I can't talk long though. I forgot to tell you guys that other worlds have a lot other things, with strange powers. That leaf will turn you into a raccoon, and the tail does serve as a weapon, that is not its main use. It is for flying."

"Flying! How can this make me fly?"

"Listen. Run as fast as you can, and you'll start to feel your feet leaving the ground. And soon, you'll be soaring through the sky. But watch out, it goes away gradually."

"Ok, I'll give it a try"

"I must go now. I'm loosing my connectio..." and he was gone.

I started running. I was running faster then I ever thought I could. There was a pit right infront of me, and I thought for a second I'd fall in it. But, like he said, my feet did start leaving the ground. I started going up, up, up!

"MARIO!" Luigi yelled.

It was the greatest feeling. Flying through the air, the wind blowing through you, no longer having to be on the ground. I found a coin floating in the air. There was another one sitting above it. There was a long diagonal line of coins in the sky. I caight them all. I started doing some loop-de-loops, and playing around. I found a big block.

I landed on it, and caught 3 coins on it. I saw a row of clouds infront of me. I already knew from other adventures that I could walk on clouds here. I jumped on it. There was a block above me. I hit it, and a green mushroom came out. I stuffed it down as fast as I could. One extra life for.

I walked along, and got the the coins that were sitting on the cloud. The cloud ended, but there were more coins in the air. So, I backed up, and started running. Once again, I was flying through the sky, and caught as many coins as I could along the way.

I saw a pipe in the sky. I thought it was worth a try, and went inside it, and fall into a dark room with lots of coins. Toad had told me he made these hidden places to help me on my way. I caught all the coins, and then went down another pipe.

I came out of the pipe on the ground, and saw Luigi was just behind me.

"MARIO! That was amazing. I saw everything you did. The next leaf I see, I'm eating it!"

"I knew. WHEW! That was the greatest sensation EVER! So, where are we on the map."

"Hmm, it says we are almost out of this danger zone."

We walked about a yard, and we were out of the zone.

"That wasn't so hard," said Luigi. "Why would you call that a danger zone."

"Well, there were monsters there, and there seem to be none out here, so it is riskier then here. And besides, that's how Bowser does things. He lours you into a false sense of secuirty, and then, bam!"

We went forward, and got past the second danger zone(nothing interesting happened there, so I wouldn't bother writing about it. We headed down south after that, to look for the entrance to the castle. But, all we found was a brick wall. The door was still further down east.

"Hmm, we'll have to go past zone 3, head down, go west through zone 4, and that should lead us directly into the castle."

"Damn, I wanted to skip zones 2, 3, and 4. Now it seems like we'll have to every zone here."

"Well, Bowser wouldn't want you to through easily. Hmm, the sun's already going down. Wanna set camp up here."

"I guess."

We got out our sleeping bags, and tried to sleep as soundly as we could...
