After some time, Peach and Perry made it to the sandy ground that is Wavy Beach. When they reached sand, however, Peach had difficulty walking in the unstable sand, so she had to take her shoes off and put them in her backpack.

All that time Peach was walking through the sand barefoot, all Perry could think about what happened in Shriek Mansion, from when Kamek revealed what he is, to the dream he had while asleep, he wondered what that meant for the rest of his past; how did he get to Vibe Island?

"Perry,"

Perry jolted back to reality when Peach called him.

"You look kind of deep in thought. Are you okay?" Peach asked, concerned.

"No, I'm fine."

Perry sighed and then continued.

"When I was held in Shriek Mansion, Kamek analyzed my powers with his magic ball thing, and he told me that I was a Star Child."

"What?" Peach was surprised; there were only 7 star children, how could Perry have been one?

"I've heard of them. In fact, I happen to be a Star Child as well." Peach explained.

"Really? What power did you get?"

"When I was a little bit older than you, I got a variety of powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, healing, levitation, and vice versa. I never got to use them in this trip since Kamek kept chasing us around."

"Makes sense." Perry replied.

Peach then noticed that the sun was getting close to setting completely in front of her.

"It'll be dark soon. We should find a place to take a break."

"What about under that palm tree?"

Perry was referring to the palm tree with fruit that was to Peach's right, with the ocean to her left.

"Sure, and it even has fruit we can eat."

As soon as the sun set into complete darkness, Peach sat under the palm tree, facing the ocean.

"You know, when we're not being chased around by Bowser's minions, nature can be pretty relaxing. I look into the ocean, and it's like I don't have a care in the world."

"Agree."

There was a silence for a few minutes, until Perry started speaking.

"Can I tell you something, Peach?"

"Sure."

"I get dreams of my past every time I fall asleep; I think my memories are coming back. But, I remember feeling rejected when I got my powers, especially my friends. I locked myself in my room because I was scared of hurting someone else, and then my mother gave me a book about Star Children. That's all I remember so far."

Peach noticed a scared look on Perry's face as he continued.

"Peach, what if I fall asleep again, and the rest of my past is terrible? Clearly, something happened to make me lose my memory, let alone end up in Vibe Island with my Grandpa. I'm a little scared to think about what happened."

"Perry, I don't know what your past might bring. But, I want you to know that no matter what happens in your dreams, it's all in the past. Whatever happens in the past doesn't define what kind of person you are, or what your future will bring. Remember that."

Perry smiled.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Although now that I think about it, it reminds me of my healing powers."

"What about them?"

"I can heal damage taken by your body, and keep in mind that this is a thought, but what if I could heal your memory loss?"

Perry thought about that for a while.

"That makes sense. Memory loss is the result of physical damage to your mind, so theoretically, you should be able to heal my brain. Worth a shot."

Peach propped Perry against the palm tree and put both of her hands on his forehead.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

"I hope this works."

Peach and Perry both closed their eyes and tried their best to concentrate on reviving Perry's past.

"So this book's saying I had it in me the whole time? And the happiness I felt on my birthday triggered my powers?" Perry asked after reading the paragraph Lillian told him to read.

"That's right. When you were born, the doctor discovered by x ray that you had an actual star in your heart and told your father and me about it. We were concerned how this star would affect you, but we saw you weren't hurting from it or anything, so we thought nothing of it, until now."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door as Lillian rushed downstairs to see who it is.

Lillian looked through the window of her door to find a woman standing at the door and opened.

"Oh! Your Majesty Queen Bonnie! I never expected you here. Please come in."

"Thank you, mayor," Said Bonnie as she walked into the mayor's house.

Bonnie was a tall woman with middle length black hair, blue eyes, wore a dark purple dress with reddish violet accents and bejeweled with dark colored rubies.

The two sat down for tea as Lillian inquired of the queen's presence.

"I've heard about the incident three days ago and got curious. Is your son in here?"

"Why yes, he is." Lillian replied as she turned her head to the staircase to her right.

"Perry!" Lillian called, "Come to the living room please, the Queen's here to see you."

Perry didn't want to come out, but the queen was here; he wanted to make a good impression, so he walked downstairs and sat on the sofa next to his mother.

"So, Perry. I've heard about the incident at the village three days ago."

"I'm in trouble, aren't I?" Perry panicked.

"Oh no, you're not in trouble at all, young man. In fact, I'm impressed with your abilities. I'm curious to know about them."

"Well, I'm not sure how they work exactly, except they seem to work based on how I feel. I felt joy when I started turning into a tornado and destroyed my party. Everyone hated me for it, even my friends."

"If they were your friends, they would have accepted you for who you are, not because you're like them. I'll tell you what, I also came here to give you an offer. If you come with me to my castle, I can help you control your powers and perhaps someday, your peers will see that they were being foolish to make fun of you, if that's alright with your mother." Bonnie offered as Lillian nodded.

"I think this would be a good opportunity for you to learn more about your powers, Perry." Lillian expressed her opinion to Perry as turned to Bonnie.

"You'd do that for me?" Perry asked, still skeptical about the offer.

"Of course! After all, when I was your age, I felt the same rejection of being different, so we're kind of on the same boat so to speak."

Perry thought about it for awhile. Although he was still a little suspicious, this was a good opportunity to learn how to control his powers as his mother stated, and there would be time away from his angry village. He was going to go with the queen.

"OK, it's a deal."

However, when Perry touched Bonnie's hand, he felt a chill down his spine as he was feeling the same feeling Bonnie tried to conceal; fear. Fear that this young boy would one day be more powerful than she was. He sensed evil intent inside this woman's heart, and he knew he needed to get away from her. He also sensed deceit; the queen was not who she said she was.

"Are you okay?" Bonnie, noticing Perry's terrified expression.

Perry looked up at her, terrified.

"N-no! Get away from me!"

Perry flinched away from her as Lillian watched with concern.

"What is the matter, Perry?"

"The queen isn't who she says she is!"

"What do you mean?" Lillian asked as Bonnie looked on in shock.

"She's not the real ruler of Diamond Kingdom! She took the throne away from King Zachariah and brainwashed everyone into believing that she was the rightful heir! She doesn't want to help me; she wants to kill me!"

Everyone looked at Perry in horror, especially Bonnie.

"Surely you don't believe that accusation." Bonnie argued calmly.

"I have a feeling it's true. My powers told me!"

An awkward silence blanketed the room, as Bonnie, realizing that Perry may either have empathic, telepathic, or a combination of those powers, attempted to maintain her composure.

"I do believe you're just confused. Why don't you come with me now?" Bonnie reached to grab Perry's arm.

"Let go of me!"

Shocked by Bonnie trying to manhandle her son, Lillian had seen enough.

"Excuse me, I think it's best you leave. Now." Lillian snapped.

"I beg your pardon?! I am your queen, you don't get to tell me what to do!" Bonnie snapped back, revealing her true colors.

"Let go of my son, and leave immediately!"

Suddenly, Lillian felt her throat tighten and her body levitating into the air; Bonnie was telekinetically choking her.

"Mom!" Perry cried.

Bonnie then turned her head to Perry.

"This is your last chance, you little brat! You either come with me, or your mother dies."

"Ok, ok. I'll go with you; please don't hurt my mom."

Bonnie promptly released Lillian from her telekinetic choke hold and was getting ready to walk next to Perry when Lillian grabbed a nearby glass decoration and tried to throw it at Bonnie.

Bonnie managed to telekinetically catch the glass statue in midair, and threw it back directly at Lillian's head, dealing a death blow.

"MOM!"

Perry ran to his mother's side and felt for her pulse; nothing. The glass statue blow killed his mother.

"This is the fate of those who defy me, Perry. Always remember that."

Hearing Bonnie's voice made Perry's blood boil.

"You..you…" Perry said shakily as anger built up in him. His brown eyes turned red, and he could feel heat building up inside his body. He turned to Bonnie with an angry glare.

"You monster!"

Suddenly, Perry's entire body burst into flames, resulting in his house catching on fire.

Terrified, Bonnie fled the house with the flaming Perry giving chase.

Once he left the house, Perry stomped his foot so hard, that it caused a 8.0 Richter scale earthquake that destroyed the homes of the villagers and his own house. Thankfully, most of the villagers were outside their homes at time this happened, but there were some that didn't survive the chaos that Perry uncontrollably caused.

Once he saw the damage he caused, Perry returned to his senses and was terrified.

"Oh no! What have I done?!" Perry cried.

"What you've done is destroy our village!" Lenny cried. "My father was in that house, you monster!"

"No.." Perry backed away and fled the angry mob into the woods, hoping to escape what he had done.

"Get him!" Bonnie yelled as she and the angry mob chased after poor Perry into the woods.

After much running, Perry managed to find refuge in a small cave, where he sobbed over everything that happened.

"My mother's dead, the village is destroyed, and now I'm an outcast. What do I do? I need to get out of this place, this island."

Perry remembered that he could fly when he was happy, but how could he be happy with all of the drama he just experienced?

"Ok, I know you can fly, Perry. Just close your eyes and think about the positive things in your life." Perry told himself as he walked out of the cave.

Perry thought about the good times he used to have with his family and friends, his hopes and dreams, and his hobbies. He tried his best to think positive, and he was able to fly out of the woods and out of the island.

For once in his entire ordeal, he felt joy, and he felt free. That is, until he felt a strong hit to the head. Bonnie hit him with a ball of energy in the back of his head, knocking Perry unconscious and sending him flying to Vibe Island.

Peach and Perry both woke up at the exact same time after the dream was over, and they were both in horror by what they saw. However, no one was more mortified than Perry.

"My mother...she's dead. And I destroyed my own village." Perry panted as tears streamed down his face.

"Peach, I'm a monster!"

"That's not true, Perry." Peach tried to comfort Perry.

"How is it not true?! I killed innocent people, Peach! I destroyed a village. Doesn't that define a monster?!"

"I've dealt with many monsters in my lifetime, and trust me, you don't qualify. You dealt damage, yes, but you're clearly not proud of it. A real monster would have no problems causing trouble. Bonnie killed your mother and she was going to kill you too. You had no control over your actions. Bonnie is the real monster, not you."

"But what about those guys that kidnapped me and my Grandpa? Is it because of what happened that they turned me into this?! Was this revenge?"

"Neither one of us knows that, Perry. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. But for now, remember what I said; the past does not define you, it's only in the past. You can only go forward, and learn from your mistakes. You didn't know how to control your powers back then, but now you do. Use that to your advantage in the future."

Perry sniffed and smiled.

"Thanks Peach, I really needed that."

Just then, Perry noticed Kamek flying in the air, waving his wand while about to cast a spell.

"Peach, look out behind you!"

Just as Peach saw Kamek behind her in the air, Kamek attempted to shoot the spell at her, but Peach dodged before she could be hit.

"Kamek!" Peach grumbled.
