Toadette slammed the door from the house. She had a fun night and she hoped she would experience something similar with him in the future. For now, she decided she should focus on her own best friend who was somewhere. Walking a head of the living room she opened Toad's bedroom door. He was inside drinking what seemed to be tea and what he also seemed to be doing was reading a book.
She grabbed her dress while looking at him, "Hey Toad" she said. Toad looking up from his book for a few seconds and then back down. Toadette frowned knowing he was still mad at her, "Why didn't you come to the star festival? You're always with me every year" she asked. He rolled his eyes,
"Oh, I was there earlier. Way before it was even twilight" he yawned, "Which by the way I saw you walk in with Mr. troublemaker 30 minutes before it started. I'm shocked they even let him near the princess" Toadette frowned as he went back to his book. Clearly, he was still upset about her wanting to date the prince of the Darklands.
She sighed walking up closer to the bed, "You're still upset about me dating him, aren't you?" Toad put down the book giving her a look. Not just annoyed look, but a look that Toadette herself knew she was going to be in trouble,
He set down his tea," Toadette, Bowser Jr is a dangerous person to be around. Even you agreed with me on that when he used to attack the Mushroom Kingdom more frequently. So why are you even bothering falling in love with- "He was interrupted by her slamming her fist down on the bed angry,
"BECAUSE, we're both similar to each other" she yelled. Toad looking up at her. He set his book to the side. Letting out a huge sigh. Toadette putting her finger up to his lips before he could even speak, "Don't give me that lecture he's using me for the Darklands. I know about that, but its different" Toad taking her hand slowly away from his face. The two staring at each other for a good few seconds,
"Toadette…" he puffed." You've been a leader of the Toad brigade for years. You've shown you loyalty for your own kingdom ever since I met you. You're actually going to give that up for a prince?" he asked. She sighed. He was so right about that. Her royalty to the Mushroom Kingdom was huge. She had tried to help her leader so many times from Bowser's baddies,
"Well you do have a point" she sighed. She looked up at the bedroom celling for a few seconds trying to decide of what to do. Finally, she made her decision, "But I'm sorry" she said closing her eyes and suddenly turning around, "I talked to him earlier on in the night. He was so kind and willing to talk to me. He told me he was worried about being mean but you know he never acted to me like that at all. He's kind and I would like to stay with him no matter what he does end up doing to the kingdom." She jumped off the bed and looked at him from her side, "Even if it makes me lose your friendship with you" Toad looked up at his friend disgusted that she would even say something like that,
"WAIT" he said. But it was to late she shut the door before he could even say a word to her. She knew later on he would just come out of his room and decide to talk to her again. But she just couldn't stand talking to him if all he did was complain about Bowser Jr. There was perfectly nothing to worry about.
With a bit of a sigh she walked into her room and shut the door. With nothing to do she jumped onto her pink bed, deciding it would just be in her best offer to go to bed and get some rest. The entire day was stressful anyways. She grabbed her covers resting herself against the left side of her bed. She barely even got some rest before she heard a knock on her window, "Toadette! Hey, are you awake?" she heard a voice say. Toadette sighing getting up and looking at the window.
Birdo and Starlow were looking at her both with grins on their faces. "Darling, we got something for you" Birdo said through some excitement. Toadette opening the window and looking at them both,
"What is so important that you both have to wake me up? I just got into bed" she stared at them both quite angry to be so disturbed. Starlow looked back at her as Birdo held up a pink letter,
"Well we came to give you a letter from the princess" Birdo replied her tone irritated a little at Toadette's words from earlier. Toadette eyes suddenly glittering up at the words that it was from the princess. She finally wanted her for something? This was rare. She just hoped she wasn't in trouble for anything. Toadette grabbed the letter. It was a very nice pink colored and smelled like the princess herself. Birdo and Starlow looked at each other as Toadette stared down at it. The letter being sealed by a heart made her blush and feel appreciated by her princess. She smiled opening it up from the seal using her hands and pulling out the letter that was sent.
"Dear Toadette,
It is with my great dignity to offer you another job in my own castle. I know you have lived there since your parents first brought you to me when you were just 10 a very young and energetic young child. And while theses past 6 years have been great with you designing me stuff for the Mushroom Kingdom to protect ourselves. Especially those papercrafts, I feel as though it would be in my best offer to allow you to be higher then Captain Toad and be a guard in the castle by using your machinery to protect my kingdom even more. Your friend Toad established to me it would be a good idea for you – Peach"
Toadette looked back up at Birdo and Starlow in shock, "ME? Why does she think I can help protect the Mushroom Kingdom? I… don't know if I could…" she sighed she actually knew she definitely could do that. It was definitely in her nature. She just didn't want to with her situation with Junior. She suddenly clenched her chest now realizing that last part. Toad had given her the idea, he really wanted her to do something positive with herself didn't he?
Starlow looked up at her again her star shinnying back and forth for a moment, "Ey kid don't break this opportunity, think of all the positives you could do for your own kingdom" Toadette closed her eyes for a few seconds thinking back to when she first got an opportunity similar to this. Her and Toad were just young children when she was given said opportunity. She remembered that day of being 10 and being dropped off by her parents, who after said day she never exactly saw again, since they decided to move out of the Mushroom Kingdom and so she was left alone. She sighed looking up at Starlow again,
"I'll take the opportunity I would love to be able to guard the castle with the others" She smiled, maybe this would be a good chance to prove how tougher she actually was. It also gave her an opportunity to explore more about the Mushroom Kingdom's "security" system which would be an advantage for her to tell Bowser Jr, who would gladly take that information. Then she gasped thinking about it again. It would also mean she couldn't exactly be hanging out too much around him. It would just make her repetition worse if the citizens figured out she was showing him stuff. She sighed heavily even thinking about it. Maybe it should be a better idea to just not tell him the part of knowing the security system entirely. While he claimed he wanted to do stuff for himself, she knew in the back of her head that he could easily past this on to his own dad and then who knows what would happen if that got into Bowser's hands. Toadette knew she was smarter then most average toads and knew exactly how to handle this situation,
"Tell her I'm willing to become one" she replied. Birdo and Starlow gave each other a look both seemly smirking at the fact she took the princess's request. Birdo looked inside the window one last time blowing Toadette a kiss,
"You made a good choice there" Birdo put her hands on her snout excited, "I got to get home to Yoshi now! See you later Toadette. Come on Starlow" She said. Starlow smiled and started to fly by her side. Toadette looking at their backs as she closed the window. It made Toadette curious, were the two of them up to something? Did they know about her and Junior's little scandal? Was it a set up?
She jumped down onto her bed laying on it while looking up at the window, it's blueish tint shining down on her skin. She was about to fall asleep again, thinking about the future as now a guard of her princess. Thinking about how it would mostly change her life entirely. Then she opened her eyes suddenly in shock at that sudden realization,
"Didn't I want to be a hero?"
