Chapter 1: Princess Peach is unhappy? Mystery behind the unknown suicide!
Princess Peach was a princess who had it all. She had the plentiful fortune of the Mushroom Kingdom dangling at her fingers, loyal subjects by her side and held vast beauty in her magnificent skin. Yet with all she had many times she would be kidnapped by Bowser of the Koopa Kingdom and recently she was a target of an organization called the X-nauts. Her hero, Mario, would save her without fail each time not knowing that his sweet innocent princess was more than she seemed. The time had come for the real princess to show herself.
It was a quiet night inside the magnificent grey castle that belonged to Peach. To her it was another sleepless night in her large pink bed. Most of her body hidden by the pink sheets, only her head, hair in an awful long tangle of mess, and half of her fingers peered over them, almost like a small child looking over a box taller than she, standing on the balls of her feet. Tomorrow it would be her birthday. Her last birthday as she saw it. It was that day when she would be 25 and the world would end. She turned on her left to shed a tear while thinking back to when she was a young girl. In this same castle she played and frolicked by the trees when she was a child and one day when she came to those large double doors of the castle, ready to come inside after a long day of climbing trees and chasing butterflies her parents grimly opened the door. "My daughter, we have something to tell you." Her father started. It turns out Princess Peach was going to become Shadow Queen's body when she turned 25. Shadow Queen was an ancient spirit from another world bent on ruling ours but she was sealed away. The body she used to first exist in this world was one of Peach's ancestors but the Queen vowed she would return and take one of her children's pure heart as her own body. Peach knew she would be the child. It was just over four months ago when the whole adventure in Rogueport happened but she knew when the Queen was sealed again it wouldn't last as long this time. The door was still weakening and at a faster rate. Only she and Goombella, one of Mario's partners in his last adventure, knew the truth but Goombella kept it a secret on Peach's request. Peach's worries exhausted her and put her to a shallow sleep. Goombella asked what she could do to stop it but Peach knew nothing would work. Mario and his friends barely defeated the Queen last time but only with the help of the Crystal Stars. The sad thing is the Queen hadn't adapted to the world yet but once she is released she'll learn how to manipulate it to give her the God-like power she used to destroy her home world. Peach decided to live her life the best she could with Mario, knowing that the world would end on her 25th birthday.
Morning came and Peach was awoken by her loyal servant, Toadsworth, opening the door to her room. "Princess, is everything okay?" He asked, barely peeking through the door in case Peach was changing. "I heard noises from your room." Peach got up to find she was sleeping on the floor. She looked at her ruffled bed and deduced she fell off of it while she was asleep. "Nothing is wrong." Peach answered quietly. Toadsworth reluctantly closed the door to leave his princess. "Nothing is wrong?" A voice repeated. Peach looked toward the large window/door that led to the balcony and saw Bedlam in front of the open door. "You sure are in love with that Mario guy. You shouted his name all night before you tumbled off the bed." She said with a snicker. Peach looked at her with contempt and said. "You've got nothing to do but stalk me now?" Peach said this with as much authority as she could, despite her unkempt appearance (Messy hair and night gown.). Bedlam simply answered, "I've got to watch my queen's new host. If you die, things will go pretty bad." "If I die, huh?" Peach reached beneath her bed for a dagger. Bedlam looked stern. Peach took the blade out of its brown scabbard and held it to her throat before Bedlam could stop her. The dagger gleamed in happiness. All it wanted to do was shed blood. "I didn't want it to come to this but I'll kill myself to stop this. Why sacrifice the world to prolong my life a couple hours?" Peach said smiling. "No! What are you doing? Think about your precious kingdom! Your Mario!" Bedlam yelled as she rushed toward Peach but before she could touch her Peach thrust the dagger inside her throat. "Darn" Bedlam muttered as Peach collapsed to the floor, lifeless. She opened her mouth for one last sentence. "They will be safe…" Blood ran from her mouth and the cut in her throat into a small pool in front of her. "Princess?" Toadsworth's voice was heard behind the door. Bedlam disappeared into a shadow hole beneath her, leaving Toadsworth with only the lifeless body that was once a great princess. "Princess!" Toadsworth yelled as he saw his princess. "No." He sat beside her and cried softly.
It was a day later. It was raining. There was a funeral in front of the castle for Peach. Her coffin was already placed in a six foot hole and four toads were using shovels to bury it in the muddy dirt. Mario and Luigi were among a crowd of toads who were watching the event with mourn. "Why did she do this?" Luigi asked Mario. "It seems she killed herself but why?" Mario just held his head down. "If only we knew…" At the Mario Bros. little house it was now night. Luigi was on his top bunk, snoring loudly while poor Mario was held awake. Why did she kill herself, Mario thought, she seemed so happy and smiling. Mario thought back to just a couple days ago when he and Peach enjoyed themselves at a small carnival in Toad Town. "Mario," Peach had said to him back then. "You're one of the best people I've ever met. If something happens don't forget me but live happily." Mario had always wondered what that meant but now he was too late. "Why Peach? Why?" He said to himself as he turned on his side and cried softly even though you couldn't hear it over Luigi's snoring.
In the sewers under Rogueport, inside the Thousand-Year Door, Bedlam was inside the deepest chamber, where the Shadow Queen's grave lied. "My Queen, your body…has died." Bedlam hesitantly said. They didn't predict that Peach would kill herself, especially with Mario around. "It doesn't matter, my loyal servant. It only prolongs my arrival just a bit." A voice echoed throughout the chamber, shaking dust from the old bricks. Bedlam smiled and cackled with her evil Queen once the room settled. "Time for phase 1. Get Vivian."
Mario unenthusiastically hopped out of his bed and changed into his trademark overalls and red shirt with his famous red cap. Mario was a hero for the ages yet all of his skills couldn't save her, the princess. He sighed as he sadly walked into the kitchen. "I still can't believe she's dead." He muttered to Luigi, his not so famous brother. "Me neither, she seemed so happy." Luigi agreed. "Yeah, I just think it's my fault for not noticing- for not being there." Mario said with a head hung low. Luigi could hear quiet sobbing from his older brother. Luigi had not been as close to Peach as Mario. Whenever Peach needed help it was Mario to the rescue. No matter what the odds were Mario was always to her aide. So Luigi was there for a few parties but it was Mario who was the closest to her, her only hope who she could not let die. Luigi wanted to feel what Mario was feeling but he couldn't- he was Peach's friend, not close friend but friend. All Luigi could do at her funeral was shed a few tears, that was all he felt. "Mario," Luigi wanted to say but the voice wasn't his; it belonged to someone behind him. The brothers looked to the back of the kitchen to see something that startled them. Princess Peach stood standing by the door. "Peach!" Both the brothers yelled. "How are you alive?" Mario and Luigi simultaneously stammered. Peach just made a giggle and gestured them to follow her as she faded through the door. "A ghost!" The thought went through both the brother's heads. Luigi was suddenly overcome with fear. Peach is now a ghost! But she's a good ghost right, Luigi tried to quench his fear. He was deathly afraid of ghosts, unlike his famous brother. Once he had gotten out of his trance Luigi noticed Mario was already through the door. "Wait up!" Luigi yelled, running after his brother.
