Chapter 9: Toad and Toadette's Story

In the lobby of Princess Peach's castle...

"Thanks again for saving me, Toadette!" Toad giggled and winked at Toadette. Toadette winked back. "Gee, it takes me back to when we first arrived at Mario Kart: Double Dash." Toad said.

Toadette giggled and said, "Yup, believe it or not, this was actually my first time racing with you back in 2003."

"What are you talking about? The first time we met was just sixteen years ago. You never knew it until now." Toad said.

"Well, of course I do remember, silly!" Toadette giggled again.

"Really?" Toad said.

"Well, I'm sure that when you took me along in Double Dash, I was your partner, right?" Toadette said to Toad.

"Yeah, so?" Toad asked.

"When you were about to go riding in your kart, I came along. I was the only girl Toad that appeared there. It's a good thing your friend named...um, what was he named again? I forget." Toadette forgot what Toad's friend was.

"Mario." Toad told her.

"Right, right, Mario had to came along, but you wanted to win the 100cc special cup." Toadette said.

"Go on." Toad said.

"Mario and Luigi had to race the whole track in Wario Colosseum, Dino Dino Jungle, Bowser's Castle, and Rainbow Road in the normal special cup tournament. That was before you and I came along. We were buddies back then." Toadette said.

"Wait, the Mario Brothers. What happened to the Wicked Brothers?" Toad asked.

"I don't know, probably the Wicked Brothers had a tennis tournament." Toadette giggled.

"Ha ha, yeah!" Toad giggled also.

Flashback...

"Ah, sure was nice to race in the Special Cup Grand Prix, huh, Luigi?" Mario said.

"Yeah, another normal Grand Prix in this Special Cup." Luigi said.

Suddenly, the Wicked Brothers went past Mario and Luigil

"Ha! You'll never catch us, losers!" Wario said as he and Waluigi were the first to win.

"I want to beat the Wicked Brothers, but I can't." Toad said, as he watched Mario and Luigi win this course.

After the Wario Colosseum course, along with other three courses, Toad was all alone with no partner to tag along, after he raced the Special Cup Course with Mario.

"Hmm...I can't seem to win this race all by myself. What should I do? What should I do?" Toad said to himself.

The little Toad just stood there all alone. Suddenly, he heard some giggling.

"Hmm...I wonder who's giggling." Toad said.

"Hey!" the girl Toad said as she ran up to Toad.

"Oh, you scared me! Hey there, girl. What's your name?" Toad said to her.

The girl Toad just stood there with her hands behind her back. She was happy too. Toad noticed that she was wearing her mushroom cap with three braid like plaits.

"I can see you're wearing your mushroom braids. Toad said to her.

The girl Toad giggled at Toad's response, and stroked her mushroom braids.

"Maybe you've got that pink dress with a red vest." Toad said, as he pointed to the Toad girl's pink dress and vest. Toad looked puzzled.

The girl Toad spun around happily.

"Hey, you spin around too!" Toad giggled. "What's your name anyway?"

"Wanna guess? It starts with the letter "T" and ends with the word "ette". The girl Toad said.

"Oh, it's um...Toadette?" Toad said.

The girl Toad named Toadette, jumped with joy, because Toad remembered her name.

"Oh, I knew you'd remember my name!" Toadette said, happily.

"Nice to meet you, Toadette! I'm Toad!" Toad said as he shaked her hand. Toadette giggled.

"Now since I knew your name, I guess you can be my partner." Toad said.

"Oh, I'd love to be your partner, Toad!" Toadette said, happily.

"Great, hop aboard on my kart!" Toad said.

So Toad was the one pulling the kart, and Toadette was the one driving.

"Hold on tight!" Toadette advised him, before taking off.

"Right!" Toad said.

End of flashback

"So we worked together to drive around the Luigi Circuit course, and boy, did we have a good time." Toadette said.

"Yep, but wait, what about Dry Desert?" Toad said.

"Yeah, we went there. We also raced on the Peach Beach, and the Baby Park. When Peach invited me to Mario Kart Wii, I was actually your sister. You and I have always enjoyed kart racing!" Toadette said. "And it was so peaceful when we were watching the stars in the beginning of the Star Festival in Super Mario Galaxy. They were scattered around Toad Town and the other Toads (even Captain Toad) would catch the Star Bits above. But we missed the power tennis match in Mario Power Tennis. I really wanted to play tennis with you back then. When I returned to the Mushroom Kingdom back in 2014, I was surprised when I realized you were the same Toad who went kart racing with me years ago. Gee, it was such a miracle that you were returning the favor I gave you before. So, I thought you wouldn't remember or understand."

"I understand it all, Toadette. I'm glad you enjoyed hanging out with me back in the good old Mario games. If it weren't for you and the Mario gang, me and the Toads wouldn't be where we are today, I could've raced on the track all alone without any partner, or hanged out all alone without you by my side. A lonely Toad without his sister around...but seriously, thanks for coming along!" Toad said.

"No problem, buddy! We'll always be best siblings, you and me. I'll tell Yellow Toad about the whole story after the whole adventure is over." Toadette said.

"Sounds good, now let's go back on our adventure!" Toad said.

"Yippee!" Toadette was excited.
