Mario: So, who's the new character?

Me: You just gotta wait, Mario. Let's a go!


Mario and Luigi were walking through the blizzard with heavy winter clothes.

Luigi: Hey, Mario? I don't know about you, but I kinda have a bad feeling about this.

Mario: What do you mean, bro? We're going on vacation. We'll finally get away from this cold! Aren't you excited?

Luigi: I am! Don't get me wrong. But, don't you remember what happened the LAST time we went on vacation with the princess?

Mario: Hmm…

*flashback*

A hot air balloon with Mario's logo lands on the prehistoric Dinosaur Island.

Peach: We're here at last!

Mario: Finally! I can't wait to meet real dinosaurs!

Luigi walked over wearing a cape.

Luigi: Hey guys! Look at me!

Peach: Where did you get that, Luigi?

Luigi: From these cool feathers I found floating around.

Mario: A new powerup? Sweet!

Mario grabs one and gets a cape too. They take off.

Mario and Luigi: Yahoo!

They flew through the air with the wind lifting up their capes as they fly over dinosaurs, enemies, and even dolphins. They landed back near the balloon.

Mario: Princess! You've got to try these capes! Princess?

They notice that Peach was gone. She even left her suitcase behind.

Mario: W-where did she go?!

Luigi: Maybe a bathroom?

?: MAAAAARIOOOOOO!

?: GWAHAHAHA!

Mario and Luigi: Oh no…

*end of flashback*

Mario: Okay, that's true. But that was our fault for not keeping an eye on her. This time we're not gonna let her out of our sight! And I'm sure Peach will bring good backup in case we do have to leave her behind.

Luigi: Alright. (But I still feel like something terrible will happen.)

They reached Peach's Castle and rang the doorbell. Mario tapped his foot for a few seconds until the door was answered by an elderly looking toad with brown spots on his head, a gray mustache that covers his mouth, a cane with a brown mushroom on top, and a purple vest.

?: Oh ho! You must be the famous masters Mario and Luigi!

He proceeds to shake Mario's hand.

Mario: Master?

?: Well, since you two are appreciated so much around this kingdom, you deserve such formalities. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Toadsworth, the princess's longtime steward. Come on in! The princess has been expecting you.

The bros walk in and hang up their winter clothes on a rack. The castle was just the way they remembered it from last adventure, and they felt relaxed from it. Toad and some other toads walked over to him.

Toad: Hi Mario! What's up?

Mario: Hey Toad! Not a fan of the weather around here, I'm too excited to get away from it.

The toad with a pink cap and what looked like braids caught his attention. He'd never seen a toad like that before.

Mario: Oh, hi there! What's your name?

?: Nice to meet you Mario. I'm Toadette! I've heard so much about you. You're amazing!

Mario: Aw, Thanks!

Luigi: (Wow, they completely ignore me. Not too surprised.)

Peach: Mario!

Mario looks at Peach and noticed she's wearing a new dress with a lighter shade of pink. Also no sleeves and no gloves.

Mario: *blushes* Oh, hi Peach.

Peach: Do you like my new dress? This vacation is gonna be wonderful!

Mario: It looks… lovely.

Peach giggles and blushes a little as well.

Peach: Anyways, I'd like you to meet…

Suddenly another woman that was about Peach's height came out from behind her. She had orange hair that only went down to her shoulders, a crown with a green flower shaped jewel on the front and red jewel on the side, earrings and a jewel on her chest that match the front jewel of the crown. Her dress was yellow with some orange on it. Her voice sounded energetic and excited compared to Peach's calm and soft voice.

?: HI I'M DAISY!

Peach groaned for a moment.

Peach: Daisy, what have I told you about barging in on our conversations?

Daisy: Hehe! Sorry sis! You know how I just can't help myself sometimes.

Mario: Daisy! It's been so long!

Daisy: Mario!

They went into a platonic hug. Peach was confused.

Peach: Wait, you two… know each other?

Daisy: Of course! He came to Sarasaland and saved me from this weird alien dude who brainwashed my people.

Peach: Neither of you ever told me about that…

Mario: Sorry Peach. It's just so different from most of my other adventures that I keep forgetting about it sometimes. Besides, the whole thing was just a trap set up by my cousin so he could take over my island paradise, Mario Land. I didn't tell you about that one either, did I?

Peach: No…

Mario: Well I'll tell you some other time. Hey Luigi, have you met my old friend Dai- Luigi?

Luigi could not hear him. He was busy staring at Daisy. He was amazed and felt his heart pumping. Was he… in love?

Luigi: (Wow… she's cute!)

Mario: Are… you okay?

Luigi shakes his head.

Luigi: Err… I'm fine. H-h-hi there! M-my names L-L-Luigi. It's nice to m-meet you.

Daisy giggled a bit.

Daisy: Well, it's nice to meet you Luigi! Mario told me all about you! You know, I can tell you're the shy type. I like that about you. I think it's cute.

Luigi blushed as red as Mario's clothes and hid his face behind his own cap trying to avoid embarrassment.

Mario: Oh… I see what's going on here. Love at first sight. (I knew it!)

Luigi: Uh… well…

Mario: Hey, it's okay bro! You know I'll always support whatever makes you happy. Right?

Luigi nods and they hug.

Peach: Oh! There's someone else we'd like you to meet as well.

Daisy: Why hasn't she come out yet?

Peach: Oh, I'd also like you to know. She's kinda shy around new people. Try not to scare her.

Mario: Oh… okay. Kinda like my bro.

Luigi: Hey!

Mario: It's true.

Peach: I'll go get her.

She walks into the back room.

Peach (Off screen): Come on out! Our new friends are waiting for you.

?: But… mommy always said not to talk to strangers.

Peach (Off screen): Don't worry! Me and Daisy know them. I promise you, they're good people.

?: But what if they don't like me?

Peach (Off screen): Oh don't be ridiculous! They'll love you!

?: If you say so…

Peach comes out again with a little girl who looks no older than 6. She had brown hair that was in between the lengths of Peach's and Daisy's, lacked a crown and earrings like her older sisters, had cerulean eyes, freckles on her cheeks, and a light blue dress that looked like waves in the ocean. She was around 70% of Mario's height, and 65% of Luigi's height. She appeared to be scared. Mario felt sorry for her and Luigi could relate.

?: H-hello…

Peach: Mario, Luigi, this is our youngest sister, Princess Aquamarine.

Aquamarine: Peach, I told you a zillion times not to call me by that long name! It's just Aqua!

Peach: Sorry.

Mario: Hello there. It's a me, Mario! And this is my bro, Luigi.

Luigi: Hello!

Aqua: H-hi, Mario.

Mario: Hey, there's no need to be shy. We're gonna have a great time on Isle Delfino. Together, as good friends.

Aqua: Friends?

Mario: Sure! Tell you what, Aqua. How would you like to be my new little buddy?

Aqua smiled at Mario. She didn't have many friends. And this guy she just met who is friends with her older sisters already likes her. She somehow saw some sort of new light in this man that she never thought she'd see.

Aqua: I'd love to.

Mario: Oh boy!

The two high-fived. Making Luigi jealous.

Luigi: (NEW LITTLE BUDDY?! Hmph! Nice to know I'm so easy to be replaced.)

Daisy: What's wrong, Luigi?

Luigi: Err… nothing! Nothing! I was just thinking they're getting along pretty well even though they JUST MET and…

Toadette: You're jealous aren't you?

Luigi: What?! No! That's ridiculous!

Toadsworth: Calm down Master Luigi! The two are just having a little bonding time together. You're still Master Mario's little brother. No one could replace you.

Luigi: (I hope he's right.)

Toadsworth: Anyhoo, load your bags onto the plane everyone! Time to take off!

Mario: Aw yeah!

Mario grabbed Aqua and put her on his shoulders for a piggy back ride.

Aqua: Woah!

Mario: Let's a go!

He walks with Aqua on her back holding on tightly as they get to the plane. She seemed to look down rather than up, making Mario feel confused. But he was still looking to this trip. Little did any of them know that a flying object was already ahead of them on the way to Isle Delfino, with a shadowy figure laughing evilly.


And that's the second chapter! Introducing my new OC, Princess Aquamarine! She is Peach and Daisy's youngest sister who's 6 years old and is from the Lake Kingdom (because if Odyssey's locations are called kingdoms, they gotta have some sort of royalty) and is extremely shy and antisocial because of a horrible past she had. What is that past you ask? You'll find out in the next chapter! Let me know in the reviews what you think so far. Adios!
