Daisy, Rosalina, and Peach arrived in New Donk City on a hot morning in July. They have been on vacation and now we're returning home. But Peach isn't feeling too well. They decided to rest in New Donk City for a few days before going on. The city was crowded with tourists. Still, they found a place to stay at a good hotel. They had a lovely room overlooking at a park. It had blue walls of red carpet, and yellow furniture. As soon as they unpacked, Peach went to bed. She looked so pale that Daisy and Rosalina asked the hotels doctor examine her. He took one look at Peach and said.

Peach: "Ladies, your friend is too sick to travel. Tomorrow I will move her to a hospital, but she needs a certain medicine. If you go to my home for it, it will save time. I don't have my telephone right now, here's a note to my wife, telling her about the situation with your friend."

The hotel manager put Daisy and Rosalina in a taxi and, whispered something to the taxi driver. and then told the driver how to find the doctor's house.

Hotel Manager: "It will take only a little while and the taxi driver will bring you back."

But as the driver slowly drove up one street and down another, it seemed to take forever. At one point Daisy and Rosalina were sure they had gone down the same street twice. It took almost as long as the doctor's wife to answer the door, then get the medicine ready. As Daisy and Rosalina sat on a bench in the empty waiting room, Daisy turn to Rosalina and said.

Daisy: "Why can't they hurry ? Peach isn't feeling very well. She really needs to take medicine."

Rosalina: "I know Daisy I know. But medicine takes time to make. We still have enough time to give Peach the medicine by the time it's done."

Then they heard a telephone ring somewhere in the house. But the doctor had told the gals he didn't have a telephone right now. What what's going on they thought. They drove back as slowly as they had to come, crawling up one street and down another. Daisy and Rosalina sat in the back seat filled with dread, with Peach's medicine clutched in Daisy's hands, she wonder in her head, wondering why everything taking so long. She was sure the taxi driver was going in the wrong direction.

Daisy: "Hey ! Are you going to the right hotel ?"

Daisy asked, but the driver didn't reply. When he stopped for a traffic light, Daisy do open the door and grabbed Rosalina by the arm and ran out of the cab.

Daisy: "Come on let's go !"

Rosalina: "But Daisy--"

Daisy: "I can't wait any longer. We have the medicine that Peach needs. All we need to do, is get to the hotel and give Peach the medicine."

They stop the woman on the street. They asked her about the street they were on. And found out that Daisy was right they had been driving in the wrong direction. When they finally got to the hotel, it was early evening. They both went up to the desk clerk who had given them their rooms.

Daisy: "Hi, I'm Daisy and this is my friend Rosalina. We're in room 505 may we please have the keys to the room."

The clerk looked at her closely.

Clerk: "You must be mistaken, there is another guest in that room. Are you sure you are in the right hotel ?"

Daisy: "What do you mean we're in the wrong hotel ?! And of course there's someone in that room. We have a third friend who came with us to this city, she's right now laying in bed all sick. Please give us the room key so we can give her this medicine, she really needs it."

Rosalina: "And how could you forget ? Your the one gave us that room when we arrived this morning."

The hotel clerk stared at them as if they had lost her mind.

Clerk: "You must be mistaken, I have never seen you ladies before. Again, are you sure you gals are in the right hotel ?"

Both Daisy and Rosalina ask to see the registration card they have filled out when they arrived.

Daisy: "It's Daisy, Peach, and Rosalina of the Mushroom Kingdom."

Daisy said, the clerk look in the file.

Clerk: "Sorry, we have no card for you. I'm seriously thinking that you gals must be in the wrong hotel."

Daisy: "The hotel doctor will know us. He's the one who examine our friend when we arrived. He was thd one sent us for the medicine that our friend needs, we want to see him."

The doctor came downstairs.

Daisy: "Here's the medicine that our friend needs. Your wife gave it to us."

Hotel Doctor: "I'm sorry, I have not seen you ladies before, you must be in the wrong hotel."

Daisy: "Are you kidding me ?!"

Rosalina: "Daisy calm down, better speak to the hotel manager."

Rosalina as for the hotel manager who had to put them in the taxi car. Surely he would remember them.

Hotel Manager: "You ladies must be in the wrong hotel. Let me give you a room where you can rest. Then maybe you'll remember where you and your friend were staying."

Daisy: "I want to see our room and our friend !"

Daisy said while raising her voice.

Rosalina: "Our room is 505. Like my friend said, it was the room that your clerk give to us this morning."

When the hotel manager led them to room 505, it was nothing like the room they remembered. The furniture was purple, not yellow. The carpet was blue, not red. There what's someone else's clothing in the closet. The room Daisy and Rosalina knew had vanished. And so did Peach.

Daisy: "This... This isn't our room. Where's our friend ! What have you done with her ?!"

Clerk: "You are in the wrong hotel."

The manager said patiently, as if he were speaking to a young child. Then Rosalina gave an angry face and spoke coldly to the manager.

Rosalina: "Your clerk is the one that gave us the room, and it was you that sent us in that taxi, and it was the doctor that sent us to get the medicine at his house, and yet you all can't remember ?!"

Rosalina ask to see the police. Daisy told them that their friend, and their things, and the room have disappeared.

Police: "Are you sure you gals are in the right hotel ?"

Both Daisy and Rosalina went to their embassy for help.

Embassy: "Are you sure you ladies are in the right hotel ?"

Both Daisy and Rosalina thought they were losing their minds. "Why don't you rest here for a while," they said. "Then maybe you will remember..."

How the story ends.

What happened to Princess Peach ? When the hotel doctor saw Peach, he knew at once that she was about to die. She had a form of plague, a dread disease that killed quickly and cause frightening epidemics. If the word got out that a woman had died of the plague in the heart of New Donk City, there would be panic. People in the hotel and elsewhere would rush to escape. The doctor knew what the hotel's owner expected. He was to keep the case a secret. Otherwise they would lose lots of money. To get Daisy and Rosalina out of the way, the doctor sent her to the other side of New Donk City for some worthless medicine. As he expected, Peach died soon after Daisy and Rosalina left. Her body was smuggled out of the hotel to a cemetery, where it was buried. A team of workmen quickly repainted the room and replaced everything in it. The desk clerks were ordered to tell Daisy and Rosalina that she was in the wrong hotel. When they insist on seeing the room it would become a different place, and of course, they're friend had vanished. All those involved were warned that they would lose their jobs if they give away the secret. To avoid panic In the city, the police and the newspapers agreed to say nothing of the death. No police reports were filed; no new stories appeared. It was as if Princess Peach and their room had never existed.
