Once her vision had returned, Amy finally noticed that she was effectively holding hands with Mario, as both were grasping on tightly to the star. Mario must have noticed this too, since they both began blushing profusely, with Amy choosing to let go of the star, breaking the hold they had on each other.
After an awkward pause which seemed to last for several eternities, Amy broke the silence and said, "So that's one star. I guess we need five more."
"Yeah, and I now an easy way to get another." Mario said, regaining his composure.
He moved forward through the castle, walking up a flight of stairs and entering into a small room off to the side. The room would have seemed like some sort of closet were it not for a set of three stained glass windows which let in rays of beautifully colored light. The windows, like most in the castle, seemed to depict a human woman with blonde hair, a pink dress, and a very prominent golden crown. Amy thought that she must castle must belong to her, and that she may very well have been who Mario was talking about when he mentioned a princess earlier.
Amy was snapped out of her thoughts when Mario said, "Found it, I knew it would be here!"
"What is it?" Amy asked.
"It's a secret area, there are multiple hidden sections to this castle, most of which contains Stars. I can't remember most of them, but I'm glad I remembered that this one had its entrance disguised as a window."
"What's going to be waiting on us on the other side?"
"Let's just say that it's like a big slide. We're going to have to stick together for this one, please give me your hand."
Amy blushed bright red with that, but reluctantly stretched out a single hand, now feeling very nervous. Mario grabbed on tight and with another, "Let's a go!" he leapt towards the glass as Amy's vision once again went white.
Suddenly, she felt a surge of went whipping against her face and as her vision returned, she finally saw what Mario was talking about. They were clearly still inside the castle, but there was no light here save for the faint glimmer of torches burning overhead. They were sliding across a large wooden platform which seemed to curve and change direction with disturbing frequency. At several points, she was terrified that they were about to fall off into the abyss, but thankfully, Mario was able to shift around, keeping the pair on course. Luckily, this nightmarish medieval rollercoaster didn't last for long, and Amy spotted a large room at the end of the track with a Star casting its friendly warm glow. Immediately, Amy raised her hand high and caught the Star just as the two were about to slam into the wall, resulting in the expected loss of vision. Blinded, Amy could suddenly feel herself rolling along while she also felt a warm shape in the vicinity.
When her sight returned, she finally realized what had just happened. She was laying on her back with Mario directly on top of her, his outstretched arms being the only thing keeping their bodies separate. The two were so close that if Amy were to suddenly sit up, their lips would almost certainly meet. For a moment, Amy actually considered doing this on purpose as Mario peered into her eyes, looking as though he felt like doing the same. After that moment passed, Mario quickly backed off from Amy, a neon red blush forming across his face. After a long awkward silence, Amy sat up and began to laugh at this situation, which felt like something out of a Movie. Mario began to laugh as well and the two quickly got back on their feet.
