What's up, everybody. Scorpion here, bring you A Mother's Love.

Question: How many of you read the story book in Super Mario Galaxy?

(For the sake of argument, and those who haven't played, I am going to pretend you haven't.) No one, huh? Odd. o.O

It is the origin story of Princess Rosalina, the new character in the game that helps Mario to save Peach, who has been kidnapped by Bowser (Typical). Though she is called "Princess" in info sites, I struggle to give her that title since she has no kingdom (that I am aware of). That said, she is probably one of the most developed character in the franchise and arguably one of the most powerful. Funny thing is, there was no evidence that she had this power or hair (which was red) in the story book. Which begs two question: "Where did she get that power?"and "Why is she blond?" Answer: I have no bloody clue, but I do have a theory and this is FanFiction, so what better way to present it then with a story!

Now for the technical: "Princess" Rosalina and her lumas are property of Nintendo. Again, I am just a humble fan. Then again, if I did have her license, I would be using her a lot more then those lazy, good-for-nothing, potential denying SACS OF...

I am getting ahead of myself. *Clears thought* So with a humble heart and an empty stomach (no, seriously, my dinner is calling me!), I give you...

A Mother's Love

A Super Mario Galaxy Fan Fiction

By Scorpion

Interlude: The Road Before Us

Every journey has a beginning and an inevitable end. What gives the journey meaning is what happens in between.

Since the young Luma transformed in to the comet, the young girl and her new family traveled and had many adventures throughout the galaxy. For many years, lumas have found their way to the girl's home, the affectionately christened Comet Observatory, and she took care and loved them until it was time for them to follow their destinies. It didn't matter how long they have stayed or what they became in the end, she loved equally and watched over them. She played with them, read them stories, comforted them when they were sad, nursed them to health when they were sick, and even taught them lessons about the galaxy and it's secretes. All and all, everyone was happy and the little girl never regretted the promise that brought them together.

Even though they were happy, however, not everything was smooth sailing. Like any family, they ran into a few bumps along their travels. Some minor cases, like illness and homesickness, they worked though together and without incident. Other cases demanded a little extra, causing the young girl to learn more about her extended family and her place among them. No matter what happened, even at times when she questioned herself, her love for her children never wavered.

This is a tale of one such time. A time where the young girl found that with that with family there's responsibility and that with love…

…there's power.

Yes, I know, painfully short. What do you expect, I'm new at this! XD

I jest. Still though, the next chapter will be longer.

You probably wandering about the writing style and the title of the chapter. Well, I am writing this to be a continuation of the story in Galaxy. There were 9 chapters in that book, so this is the Interlude. Chapter 10 will be up shortly.

This is Scorpion, signing out! T.T.F.N!
