Edit 2/8/23: Hi! I'm back editing chapters. Let's hope this chapter is slightly better.

Here's chapter 9! I hope it's ok.

Disclaimer: I only own my FC!

The next day everyone was in Peach Garden playing Baseball. Jasmine was still new to playing the game, but everyone gave her advice and helped her. Mario threw the ball and Jasmine hit it, getting a home run.

"Alright Jasmine!" Daisy cheered. The crowd clapped and cheered as Jasmine ran the bases.

"This is so much fun!" Jasmine exclaimed. As everyone played, the heard a laugh from above the stadium.

"Huh?" Peach said. Everyone looked up and saw Ludwig in his Koopa Clown Car.

"I almost forgot about Luddy's plan. I wonder if it will work." Jasmine thought to herself. They watched as the Koopa flew towards Jasmine and grabbed her.

"H-Huh!?" Jasmine gasped.

"Hey! Put her down!" Mario yelled. Ludwig ignored him and put Jasmine inside of the Clown Car. He laughed as he flew away with her.

"Oh no! We have to go save her!" Peach exclaimed.

"You're right." Mario replied. All of the Toads went home as the four friends made their way to Bowser's Castle.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" Ludwig asked as they flew away from the Stadium.

"Nah, I'm alright." Jasmine smiled. Jasmine saw that they were getting closer to the castle a little while later.

"I'm sure they're on their way to get you." Ludwig said as they made it to the castle.

"Yeah. I really hope they don't hurt you too bad." Jasmine replied. Ludwig gave her a smile as he helped her out of the Clown Car.

"I'll be alright." Ludwig said.

"Jasmine! You're back!" Bowser jr exclaimed as he ran up to her.

"Hehe yeah. I love hanging out with you guys." Jasmine smiled.

"Wait! Did Ludwig kidnap you?" Junior asked.

"Uh sorta..." Jasmine replied.

"Aw. Now we have to deal with those plumbers." Junior whined.

"Don't worry. They won't be here for awhile." Jasmine reassured him

"And I'll deal with them myself since I'm the one who took her." Ludwig added.

"Well, since you're here, let's play a game!" Junior said.

"Alright!" Jasmine replied.

Later on Jasmine and the others played a few video games and board games. They were currently playing one of Larry's board games. The game was almost finished and Larry was close to winning.

"Ugh, I'm tired of playing this stupid game!" Junior said.

"You're just saying that because you're losing." Larry replied.

"Whatever. Let's play something else." Junior said as he rolled his eyes.

"What should we play next?" Jasmine asked. The others began to think. Then Wendy spoke up.

"Well, we haven't played Truth or Dare in so long." Wendy suggested.

"Oh that sounds fun! I haven't played that in awhile." Jasmine replied.

"I'm not playing that!" Ludwig mumbled.

"Oh yes you are! Or I'm telling Daddy you won't play with us!" Wendy whined. Ludwig rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Fine. Let's get this over with." Ludwig groaned.

"Yuck! I can't believe you made me eat dog food Roy!" Bowser jr whined as the others laughed.

"Hahaha! I didn't think you'd actually do it!" Roy laughed, making Junior more annoyed.

"It's your turn Junior." Jasmine said.

"Alright. Wendy, Truth or Dare?" Junior asked.

"Hmm. Truth." She replied.

"Do you have a favorite sibling?" He asked. All of her brothers then looked at her.

"No. You guys are really annoying most of the time." Wendy replied, making her brothers roll their eyes.

"Fine. It's your turn." Bowser jr said.

"Alright." Wendy looked around at everyone.

"Ludwig, truth or dare?" She asked him. Ludwig sighed.

"Dare I guess." He replied.

"Hmm. What should I have you do?" Wendy said and began to think. Her eyes then landed on the human girl sitting next to him, making her smirk.

"Ludwig, I dare you to kiss Jasmine." Wendy finally said. Ludwig looked at Jasmine, his face turning red.

"Uh...Can I pick truth instead?" Ludwig asked.

"No! You can't change it." Wendy replied.

"Aww. I think Luddy's scared." Jasmine teased him.

"What are you waiting for Lu-" Wendy stopped her sentence after what she heard.

"Did she just call you Luddy?" The others asked in unison.

"You let her call you that?" Larry asked. Ludwig nodded, still blushing.

"What? But we can't!" Iggy said.

"Guys, we're getting off topic." Wendy whined.

"I don't think he's gonna do it Wendy. I think Ludwig's afrai-" Jasmine stopped her sentence as Ludwig pulled her closer to him.

"Lu-" Ludwig then kissed her. Jasmine was shocked at first, but closed her eyes and kissed him back.

"Uh, Ludwig?" Wendy said. Ludwig didn't hear her and continued to kiss Jasmine and play with her hair.

"Ludwig!" Wendy yelled. Ludwig stopped and looked away, his face completely red.

"Jeez, she said kiss her. Not make out with her." Roy laughed, making the two blush more.

"Um...I guess we can stop playing now." Wendy said.

"Mario and the others should be here soon." Jasmine said. She was in the ballroom with Ludwig listening to another one of his songs.

"Y-Yeah..." Ludwig said. He was a little embarrassed about earlier and tried to not look at her.

"Ludwig?" Jasmine said as she turned to him.

"Hm?"

"Are you alright? You've been acting strange since we stopped playing Truth or Dare." Jasmine replied.

"...I'm fine." Ludwig whispered and continued to play the piano.

"Ludwig..." Jasmine put a hand on his arm. He stopped playing and looked at her.

"Ludwig, are you acting strange because of the kiss?" She asked. Jasmine got her answer when he looked away.

"You don't have to be embarrassed Luddy. Honestly...I liked it." Jasmine replied, blushing again.

"R-Really?" Ludwig asked. Jasmine nodded. The two were silent for a few minutes. They then heard the ballroom door open and saw a Koopa Troopa enter.

"Prince Ludwig, Mario and his friends have arrived." The Koopa Troopa said.

"Alright. I'm on my way." Ludwig replied. The Koopa Troopa then left the room.

"Should I wait in your room again?" Jasmine asked him.

"Yes." Ludwig said and they both stood up. Before they left, Jasmine turned around, leaned over, and kissed his cheek.

"Good luck Luddy." Jasmine smiled and headed to his room. Ludwig watched as she left. He stood there frozen as his face got hot and his heart began racing.

"What is this feeling...?" Ludwig thought. He snapped out of it and left to find Mario and the others.

Edit 2/8/23: So since in a later chapter I had Jasmine mention that she met Clawdia at this point of the story, my plan was to write a scene of them meeting. But I couldn't really figure out how. So, I'll try to mention it in the next chapter when I edit it.

That's it for now! I'll try to write again next week!
