As Mario was sleeping, he had a dream about all of the enemies that the ponies had told them about, ranging in from, Discord, to Chrysalis, to Nightmare Moon. They all started to surround him, and tried to fight him, but Mario pulled off the Mario Tornado. But it didn't matter anyway, because when he did, they all turned to dust and went all over the place. Then, they turned back to their normal forms, and when Mario tried to hit them, they were suddenly hard as steel, and Mario couldn't beat them. They then surrounded him and beat him up and would have finished him off if it hadn't been for F.L.U.D.D. shooting water at him to wake him up. "Thanks F.L.U.D.D.! I don't know where I would be without you!" Mario then got out of bed, stretched, and put F.L.U.D.D. on his back as he went downstairs for breakfast.
When he got down there, he saw that Twilight and her #1 assistant, Spike, were making breakfast. They heard him coming down the stairs, and greeted him. When Spike saw F.L.U.D.D., he hopped onto Mario's back. "Whoa! What's this thing?" Asked Spike as he poked F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzle. "That, is my trusty friend, F.L.U.D.D." "F.L.U.D.D.?" Asked Twilight. "He causes floods?" F.L.U.D.D. then spoke up. "No. It is an acronym name. It stands for Flash Liquidizing Ultra Dousing Device, or F.L.U.D.D. for short." Twilight and Spike then got it. "Oh! F.L.U.D.D.!" They both said. Spike then hopped off of Mario's back as Mario got some breakfast. Mario then ate it...in under 5 seconds flat. "That was great Twilight!" Said Mario as he pat his belly. "Thanks. Hey, did you eat all of that in under 5 seconds flat?" Mario then looked confused. "I don't know, I wasn't counting." Mario and Twilight both looked at each other for a bit before bursting out laughing. "OK wise guy, I have to go to Canterlot with my friends. I think it would be a good idea if you came too." Mario nodded as he put his plate in the sink, and the 3(4 if you count F.L.U.D.D.)went out to meet up with their friends.
When they did meet up, Rarity greeted them. "Hello Twilight. I see you brought along Mario and Spike." "Yeah. I figured Mario would want to come along to see if there was a way for him to get home." "Well if we're gonna go, we better get to the train, and fast!" Said Rainbow Dash. Our heroes then dashed(no pun intended) to the train and paid for their tickets, but when they were done, the train started to take off. "Oh no! Now we'll never get there!" Said Fluttershy as she started to cry. Her friends comforted her and they started to walk away. Mario saw this, and hated it whenever people were upset like that, so he decided to help them out. "Hey!" The Mane 6 then turned around. I know a way to catch up with the train!" As soon as Mario said that, The Mane 6 quickly ran back over to where Mario was. "Ok. F.L.U.D.D. can use different types of nozzles for different types of situations. One nozzle he can use, is the Turbo Nozzle. It allows me to run at lightning speeds!" As Mario said that, F.L.U.D.D. transformed into aforementioned nozzle. "Now, who wants to catch a train?" The Mane 6 all got happy and excited, and held on to a part of F.L.U.D.D., except for the handles. Mario then started to move the handles, and burst off at a speed so fast, Rainbow Dash thought Mario was doing a Sonic Rainboom of his own. Eventually, they caught up with the train, and was right behind it. "Get in!" Shouted Mario as the Mane 6 started to get on top of the train. After eveyone was on, Mario was the last one to get on, and jumped towards a ladder that so happened to be there. Then, when he and the others were on the train, they started to search for empty cars that would help them sneak on the train without being noticed. Rainbow Dash then found a empty car, and yelled,"It's empty!" Mario then nodded and opened up the emergency escape exit that was on top of the train. He let the ladies and Spike go in first, and when it came to him, he looked around, then hopped in and closed the exit. Then, our heroes took a seat, and prepared themselves for a long trip to Canterlot.
When they got there, Mario used the Turbo Nozzle to zip through the castle and quickly get to Princess Celestia. When they reached the throne room, Mario accidentally busted the door down, and everyone fell forward. "Oh, hi Twilight. I don't remember calling for the Elements of Harmony." Everyone then got up and dusted themselves off as they explained what had happened. "So let me get this straight." Said Princess Luna. "You were walking down a street in this 'Mushroom Kingdom', saw your shadowy rival, went after him, then fell from the sky and blacked out, then, you got bucked in the face and ended up in a hospital, where you saw your shadowy rival once again, and sprayed him with water, causing him to get hurt and dissapate into the ground, waiting to strike again, and now, you want to find a way to get back to your world. Sounds like you've been through a lot." Mario then spoke up. "I have. And you just said everything that happened yesterday." "Right. Well, I'll look through all of the universes I can find. Until then why don't you just stay here?" Said Princess Celestia. Mario thought about it for a little while before finally saying, "Ok." The ponies then all jumped all over the place, including Princess Luna, and were pretty excited about having him stay in Equestria. In the middle of their excitement, Princess Celestia had to tell them something. "Oh, I almost forgot. Here." Princess Celestia handed Twilight 2 letters, Which she started to read. "You are hereby invited to the wedding of-" "STOP!" Yelled Mario. "Can I get a glass of water?" "Of course." Said Princess Celestia. She then put her hoof to her mouth, and whistled, causing a guard holding a cup filled with water to come in. "Thanks." Said Mario as he took the cup and started to drink it. The guard then saluted, and walked out. Twilight then began to read again. "You are hereby invited to the wedding of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, and, ... MY BROTHER!?" Everybody then got excited over that news. "Congrats, Twilight! Your brother is getting married!" Said Mario while everybody else got in a circle and started to do the ring-around-the-rosie, without the falling down part. Then Twilight read the next letter which explained what they were supposed to do. "Hey, what about me?" Asked Mario, obviously wanting to help out in the wedding. Princess Celestia then noticed F.L.U.D.D. on Mario's back. "What is that device?" Asked Princess Celestia. "Huh? Oh, this is F.L.U.D.D." "What can he do?" "Well, he can spray water, hover, blast off like a rocket, and let me run at speeds never imagined!" Princess Celestia then thought for a while about what Mario could do at the wedding. "Hmm..I know! You can put out anypony that's on fire! How does that sound?" "That...sounds...AWESOME!" Princess Celestia then chuckled for a little. "The wedding is in a few days, so be prepared." "Right!" Said everyone as they started to leave. They had to get ready for a wedding.
The night before the big day...
If our heroes had been excited, then never like this! It wasn't everyday that you got to go to something as huge as this. While Shining Armor and Princess Cadence were practicing their vows, it got kind of boring for Mario, so he just stood there closed his eyes and started to tap his foot on the ground. Then came Mario's part. In case of a real fire, Mario would douse it with F.L.U.D.D., so when Princess Celestia made a no-harm fire appear in the middle of the place, everyone noticed it except for Mario. "Mario." Princess Celestia whispered to Mario, but didn't hear. Mario was
in deep thought about his friends and everything they did, like race karts, have brawls, play some sports, and have the wackiest of adventures. He missed that stuff, and would have gotten homesick if it hadn't been for everyone yelling out, "MARIO!" Mario then snapped out of his thought, and started to look around. Mario then noticed the fire, and when he saw it, he freaked out. "AHHH! FIRE! FIRE! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!" Mario then hopped on a curtain, then F.L.U.D.D. told him, "Mario, this is your part." Mario then looked back at the nozzle. "It is? Oh. Sorry everybody!" Everyone then groaned. Shining Armor then put his hoof on his face as he said "Take 5 everypony!" Everyone then scattered away and didn't hear Shining Armor grunt in pain, as he and Cadence then went over to check out why he did that. Cadence's horn then lit up as Shining Armor's eyes went all loopy and turned green. Then, he suddenly went back to normal. Twilight saw this, and ran outside. Mario, who was done sliding off of the curtain, saw both of this, and went after Twilight. "Twilight, what's wrong?" Asked Mario, concerned about his friend. "Nothing. Did you see what she did him?" "Yeah. I think she could be mind controlling him!" "You know what? You're probably right about that. And she could be evil too! I mean, think about all she did today. She yelled at one of the birds for no apparent reason, thought that you spray too much, dumped Applejack's treats in the trash, and now, she's mind controlling my brother! We have to stop her, but how?" Mario then got an idea. "Let's just call her out on it, and maybe the others will believe us!" Twilight then just looked at him. " "That's dumb enough to work. Let's go!" Before Mario and Twilight went in, everybody was back to their original spots and were only waiting on Mario and Twilight to arrive. The aforementioned duo, then kicked the door open as they both shouted out, Don't do it! She's evil!" Then they pointed at Cadence, who started to look around. "She's evil! We've seen it for ourselves!" Said Twilight as Mario nodded, then started to speak. "And, she's brainwashed her soon-to-be husband! She's made his eyes go all loopy, and his eyes even turned green! So what do you have to say now, evil?" Said Mario. Cadence then started to cry. "Why are you doing this to me?" Mario and Twilight then just looked at her. "Am I actually supposed to believe you're crying?" Asked Mario. "You cruel, heartless, monster! How could you!" Said Rarity. Shining Armor then spoke up. "And you wanna know why she's been like that? It's because I have serious migrains. And Cadence has been so worried about my health, that she's actually gone ballistic over it, so she's been
healing me." "Migrains? What the heck have you been doing that it gave you migrains?" Asked Mario. "That, is none of your concern. And just for that little accusation, don't even bother to show up at the wedding." Then, he walked away with Cadence right on his trail. "Come on ya'll, we have a wedding to get ready for. You coming Mario?" Said Applejack, but before he could answer, Shining Armor spoke up for him. "No. He can't come either." The Mane 5 then walked away and Mario just looked down in shame. "You have a lot to think about." Said Princess Celestia as she walked away. Mario then went over to Twilight, who started to cry. "Sorry we couldn't convince them, Twilight." "I'm sorry too. I could have had a sister, but lost some friends, and a brother." Twilight then started to sing a sad song, but F.L.U.D.D. stopped her. "Please don't sing a song. They mess up my internal systems." "Oh, sorry F.L.U.D.D." Then, Cadence came back, and started to laugh evilly. "Hey, you're not crying anymore!" Said Mario. "Of course I'm not you dolt. You two were right about everything, from the mind control, to the part about me being evil." She then started to laugh evilly again. "WHAT!?" Said Mario and Twilight at the same time. "Yes, that's right. It's all true, and the best part is, nopony is going to find out!" Then she laughed some more. "Yeah, right!" Said Mario, taking a defensive stance. We're telling everyone about you!" Cadence eyes then started to glow a neon green. "How are you going to tell them when, one, they don't believe you, and two, you're gone?" The duo didn't get that last part until a ring of green fire surrounded them, causing them to fall down deep into some crystal mines. Cadence then laughed again as the hole closed up, and the two were stuck down there.
