Walking into her room, she sat down on the bed, thinking about what she just saw.

"Who was that?" she thought to herself. She wondered if it was just her imagination. "I wonder..." She looked at the vanity in her room and saw the same man sitting next to her, this time, looking back at her. "Ah!"

The man laughed. "You humans get scared so easily!"

Peach gasped and walked towards the mirror. "You are real, aren't you?"

"Of course I'm real." the man replied. He grinned, revealing sharp teeth.

"H-how are you doing that?" Peach asked nervously. She looked at the reflection and back, noticing how he only appeared in the mirror.

"I am capable of many things. However, I cannot be seen any normal human."

"But if that's the case, how come I can see you?" she questioned.

"I can only be seen by those who wear the necklace that you're donning right now." he explained, floating around her.

Peach put her hand on the necklace, which was still around her neck. "This one?"

"Yes." he replied. "It's enchanted."

"But that can't be," she responded. "Magic isn't real."

"You really think magic isn't real?" he laughed. "If it wasn't real, would I be able to do this?" he asked, pulling a large spider from behind her ear.

Peach screamed, which caused Toadsworth to hear it.

"What's going on up here?!" Toadsworth exclaimed. "Are you okay?"

Peach looked at the mirror and noticed the man was gone. "Oh, I... I thought I saw a spider." she lied. "I'm fine, it was just my imagination."

Toadsworth sighed in relief. "Oh, thank goodness. I thought you were in trouble. You really scared me."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. Just try to be a little quieter next time." he reminded her as he left, closing the door.

Peach looked back at the mirror. "Don't do that again!"

The man reappeared. "Relax, there really wasn't a spider there. It was an illusion, one I created."

"Still, that was terrifying!" she told him, still shaking from what had just happened.

"Terrifying is what I do best, darling." he replied with a smirk.

"I can see that." Peach stated. She wondered for a bit. "But what are you doing here?"

"You're the only one who can see me. I have to mess with someone." he said. "Scaring people is boring if you have no one able to see or even hear you."

"Do you do that a lot?" she questioned.

"Only when someone is around to see me." he responded.

She looked down at the necklace. "If I take this off, will I not see you anymore?" she asked.

"You can't." he told her.

"What do you mean I can't?" she questioned.

"You can't take off the necklace. It's enchanted and bound to whoever puts it on." he explained. "I can't help with that."

Peach tried to take it off, fiddling with it, pulling on it, but it wouldn't budge. "This... this can't be happening..." she stammered. "There must be a way to get this off!"

"There is one way."

Peach looked at him. "There is?"

"You can always let me out." he suggested.

"Let you out?"

"Yes! Once someone lets me out of the 'mirror world', I can be 'real' again. Anyone will be able to see me and I'll have a physical form once more." he told her.

"Again?" Peach asked.

"I used to have a physical form." he explained. "Until one day, about a hundred years ago, I was trapped into this... mirror realm by a scientist." he continued. "He had a sorceror craft the necklace so only one person would be aware of my existence... until the day someone finally frees me. Maybe you'll be that someone..."

"I don't know..." she replied. "They must have trapped you in there for a reason..." She wasn't sure if she could trust him. His sharp teeth and glowing purple eyes made him look like someone she really shouldn't mess with, and after seeing what he was capable of, she wasn't sure if letting him out was a good idea.

"Come on..." he persisted. "If you let me out, I'll give you anything you've ever wanted."

"I... I can't." she admitted. "I know you're just trying to convince me to let you out. But I have a feeling that it would be a bad idea."

"Well," he said as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "If you're not going to let me out, it looks like you're stuck with me. You'll come around, eventually. You are pretty cute, though."

Peach held onto the necklace and blushed nervously. She had no clue what she had gotten herself into, or how this was going to change things. One thing she knew for sure, was that her life was about to turn upside down.
