(Date: five days after bowser's message. Location:Rainbow cruirser enroute to bowser castle eta: one hour)
Peach

Peach: "...And that's the current situation."

Mario: "..."

Luigi: "T-that's crazy talk! Bowser'd never just surrender like that!"

Toadsworth: "That's exactly what I said, but the princess insisted on attending anyway! I don't understand what that type of logic!"

Luigi: "I know! What if it's more than just a trap! It could be a way to send us to the underwhere for go! Remember the time when he sent us that other peace treaty as well? We all go turn into super-tiny action figures!"

Peach: "Listen, you two. I know this may sound completely ludicrous, and yes, it may be a trap, but this kindom has gone too long without proper peace. We all have to take a bit of a risk for now. Besides...something in that letter had me...worried."

Luigi: "Something..."

Toadsworth: "...in the letter, your magisty?"

Mario: "The part where he 'had-a found something far more-a special'?"

Peach: ...He figured it out already.

"Yes, Mario. You're right. If something has caught Bowser's attention away from the Mushroom Kingdom, it must he something of key-value. Even though this treaty is of great-importance, this still worries me so."

Luigi: "Oh, I get it! You want me and Bro here to find this 'something special' right?"

Peach: "Well...I'm not sure. If we do that, we may-"

*A toad suddenly walks into the room, wearing a sailor outfit.*

Toad Pilot: "Princess Peach! We are nearing our destination! No ships appear on any scopes, and the Koopa watchmen below have given us clearence to land!"

*Peach looks unseteld for a brief momment, then nods, moving from her seat, and proceeds to walk out the door.*

Peach: "For now, you two, just stay by close to me. Any investigation could have devistating consequesces on the arrangments of the treaty."

Luigi: "O...okay, Princess."

*Mario Nods.*

(Location: Bowsers Domain: Central Meeting Room)

*Everyone approches a large door, covered with green spikes, and brown hindges.*

Toadsworth: "I must say, Master Mario. I didn't expect you to lead us here so quickly."

Luigi: "Oh, it's no problem. Big Bro and I have been here so many times, we know this place like the back of our hands!"

Toadsworth: "Is that so? Well, we better proceed then, right Princess?"

Peach: "Y-yes, I suppose."

Mario: Hmm...the princess is-a nervious. She's-a having a much doubts about is as me.

*Toad guards move the door open. Inside layed a large table, filled with chairs and candle-lights. At the end of the table sat a large individual, whos shell stood out above all the Royal Koopa Guards.*

Bowser: "My dear princess. Please, have a seat."

*All visitors took a seat, with the princess sitting in the seat fartthest away from Bowser, with Mario, Luigi, and Toadsworth standing by her side.*

Peach: "I must admit, Bowser. This is the first time I've been inside your castle without being locked up, or hinged to the celing."

Bowser: "Heh, heh, heh. Forgive me, sweet primcess, but that's in the past. I wish to make aments now, with your approval, of course."

*Peach raises her hand, show for scilence.*

Peach: First, I'd like to know. *LOWERS HAND* You've been attacking my kingdom for what seems to be like for ages now nonstop, all for of the favor of making me your bride, and now all of the sudden, you want to make peace?! As princess, *SLAMS DESK* I can never forgive you though all the grief you've put us thought!

*LOWERS VOICE* But even so, I have to ask... Why are you trying to make peace now?"

Bowser: "Hmmm...I cannot expalin thought quick responses, so allow me to clarify."

*Bowser stands up and starts circling the table*

"As one of the most powerful beings this side of the world, I have armies at my ultimate disposial. I could have let ruled this place with such an iorn fist, the earth would tremble! However, several...incidents lead to one another, and all my plans ended in miserable failure."

*Bowser stopes right behind Mario and Luigi.*

"At first, I saw the problem as these two mustaced little pipe-cleaners."

Mario: "..."

Luigi: "Hey! That's "Mario Brothers" to you, pal!"

Bowser: "*SCOFFS* Mario Borthers. That name has rung in my head non stop for ages. I swore that one day that I would beat you two, and then feast on your very skulls!"

Luigi: *KNNES TREMBLES* "S-Sheehs! Y-You don't have to say it like that!"

Bowser: "Again however, after all that, I came to a startling conclusion."

*Bowser continutes walking and stopes near Peachs side.*

"The problem was in-fact, me."

Peach: "W-w-what?!"

Bowser: "All I have been ever doing this whole time kidnaping was kippnaping my brides, not winning them fair, and square. I never understood what it meant to be the good guy for once. Faling in love is so much for easier than going though all the trouble of kidnaping someone."

*Bowser returns to his seat, but does not sit down.*

"Well...I never understood...until I met her."

Peach: "W-what are you saying?"

Bowser: *CHUCKLES, THEN TURNS AROUND* Bring in her in boys!"

*DOORS OPEN THE ROOM GROW'S VERY QUITE. A Buetiful MAIDEN WALKS IN WITH LONG BROWN HAIR WEARING A DRESS WITH THREE GOLD TRIANGLE WITH HER APEARS TO BE A SINGLE GUARD WEARING A DECORTIVE UNIFORM SHE SMILES SLIGHTLY TOWARDS BOWSER AND TAKES A SEAT*

?: " Good afternoon, everyone. My name is ...Zelda. It's a pleasure to meet all of you fine people. I hope the goddess has blessed your travels on the way here."

Peach:"Z-Z-zelda? That's a beautiful name, but what is going on and why are you here?...

Wait. You're not...

Zelda:" Yes, Princess Peach. I'm Lord Bowser's fiance. Pleased to meet you this fine day. I hope the peace treaty is going smothley?"

*Everybody starts to mummor in the mushroom kingdom peach looks at zelda with a eye of curiosity.

Peach: "Bowser, may I speak to Zelda after the peace negotion alone without a guard?" Whoever this women is she has a air of wisdom around her I doubts she here... wait a moment! I know her! I've seen her before! The leader of Hyrule, and she was also named Zelda! This can't be a concidence! Something smell's like Bowser bad breath!

*BOWSER MOTION FOR ORDER*

Bowser: "Heh Heh, sure, why not? She is faithful to me, and she can choose to take visters of her own accord so."

Zelda:"... I will talk to her in my room if such privacy is needed. Why don't you talk to the Mario Brothers? Mabye you can make amends on your most hated enemy-I mean former hated enemy."

Bowser:"Hmm not a bad idea, my love."

Luigi: Oh boy. I'm-a gonna be sick.

Mario: Mama mia! I'm-a gonna be a stuck with him?! Oh boy!

*Bowser pulls a paper and sing's it then hand's it to peach*

Bowser:"Here you are, my fair princess. Now sign here so we can put this miserable past behind us."

Peach:"... agreed." *Peach, after looking over the document carfully for any loopholes, signs it.*

Bowser: "And just like that, enimies become friends. *Shakes hands with Peach*

Peach: "Yes. Friends..." No matter what, I still don't trust him!"

Zelda: "Peach you wanted to talk to me alone then follow me"

Peach:"Look after the rest of the peace treaty toadsworth"

Toadsworth:" Of course."

*Zelda stands up, and walks out the door followed by Peach.*

(Location: Toadstown Household)
Link

Link:"Gah,uhh...what in the world?"

*Link sits up, about to leap out of his bed when a pink mushroom headed toad puts her hand on his chest.*

?: "Easy there sowrdsman. You are still recovering. You lost a lot of blood. I mean, gosh! You were pretty much drained to nothing! Luckily, we had a green mushroom.

Link:"...Thank you.. I should have been a tad bit more careful about my wounds, and treat them ahead of time." *Link looks down biting his lips as the stranger removes her hand*

Link:"By the way, who are you ma'am?"

Toadette:"My name is Toadette at your service. You?"

Link:"Link... I'm so sorry for going so quickly, but can you tell me how far I am from the Mushroom Kingdom Castle?"

Toadette:" Ummm, it a ten minute walk from here... why?"

Link:"I need information on a oversized turtle that tricked me. He calls himself "the king of Koopas" I think his name was bobser, was it?"

*toaddette lets a sigh out and spealks again*

Toadette:"That's Bowser, king of koopas, and a very mood swinging man. Apparently, he is calling a peace offering with our kingdom, but I honestly smell a trap, and now I think something else is going. What happen to you for starters."

*Link gets up as he fings out his sword has never been removed. looks and finds and equips his gear.*

Link:"...I got ambushed. I was careless, and now I need to find a way to Bowser's home to rescue a friend of mine."

Toadette:"Sorry. Can't help you there, but I say you need to stay here. Princess Peach, our ruler, will be back. she went to 'negotiate' a peace treaty."

Link:"I don't have time, but since Peach isn't here, I guess I can get more info on who I'm facing, and what my Bowser 'stratagy' is."

Toadette:"Well, he typicaly kidnap's our Princess and forces her to marry him. That pretty much a good summary."

Link: Hmmm...Something's wrong. This Bowser fellow seems very clumsy, and Zelda's magic can probaly tear him to shreds if she choose's to. There must be somthing stoping her escape from her posistion... wait. Her people. That's the only reason of her not escaping. It's just a wild guess, but the crew may be endangered.
Toadette:"Are you okay?"

Link:"Huh? Oh, sorry I got a idea on what his intention's are... and it look's like I have a Oath to order before I rescue my friend."

Toadette: "Oath to Order?"

Link:"Don't think about it too much, alright?"

Toadette:"Ok! Whatever you say! Umm...do you want me to show you around the Town?"

Link:" Yes, and thanks agian for healing me!"

Toadette:"Your welcome! Heh, heh!"
*Both link walk out of the house*
