I do not own Mario nor the other characters. I only own Toadine, Lakira, and Plumeria. Anyway R&R.
I attempted to make the last section of this Chapter a surprise, but I think I failed, so tell me what you think about this chaper please!

It was the first day with the Wishing Star Stone. Toad and Toadette were still in the forest, since none of Bowser's minions or kids found them yet. But it didn't mean they were safe. They have to survive for at least three days.
"Toad, what if we get corrupted before the three days are up?" Toadette asked.
"Then we are doomed. But don't talk like that Toadette, I'll make sure you stay yourself at least until you wish Mario back." Toad promised.
Toadette looked down at the stone in her hand, "Alright."
Toad heard movement and covered Toadette's mouth, "Shh! Someone's nearby."
Toad and Toadette's gaze turned to a moving bush. Two of the koopalings jumped out of the bush, one was a girl, and one was a boy.
"It's Wendy and Morton Jr." Yelled Toad, "Toadette, we have to run!"
Toad and Toadette turned their backs to Wendy and Morton Jr. and ran as fast as their little legs could take them. Wendy and Morton Jr. ran after the Toads.
"Toadette, we need to separate!" Toad said.
"B-But Toad! I'm scared! I don't want to be alone!" Toadette whined.
"Just run Toadette! You have to survive the three days, I don't!" Toad told Toadette, "I'll hold them back, you just run somewhere safe!"
Toadette nod her head, then ran faster as Toad stopped to slow Wendy and Morton Jr. down. When the koopalings reached Toad, they stopped.
"Look like one's surrendering." Wendy stated.
Toad growled, "I'm not surrendering to the likes of you!"
"Very well… Morton, lets take the Toad to father, by force!" Wendy yelled. Morton Jr. and Wendy walked towards Toad. Every step they took towards him, he took a huge step back. When his back hit a tree, Toad took running, the opposite direction Toadette ran, and just like he wanted, the two koopalings followed him, not Toadette.
---
Toadette was in a cave, bawling her eye out. She was sure Toad didn't make it, that Toad was taken by the koopalings to their father, or hurt, or killed. She silenced her cries, incase the koopalings ran past.
Please, let Toad be alright. Let him be alright and let him find me. Thought Toadette.
Toadette curled up in a corner of the cave and silently cried herself to sleep.
---
Toad was hiding up in a tree, so the koopa kids would not find him. He was praying to go that Toadette was safe and out of harm's way. He looked down, and did not see the koopalings, but just to be safe, he was going to stay the night up in the tree. He leaned against the base of the tree and closed his eyes.
Down below the tree, Wendy and Morton Jr. were walking past the tree.
"King Dad is not going to like this." Wendy said.
Morton Jr. nod in agreement, "Anyway we should be heading back before we get in trouble for being late."
Wendy and Morton Jr. walked away, not even noticing Toad sleeping in the tree above them.

Bowser was in the Mushroom Kingdom. He was sitting in a throne, and standing to his right was Lakira. Their attention turned to the door when it opened and in came Wendy and Morton Jr.
"King Dad." Wendy started, "We found two toads that are not under Kamek or Lakira's spell yet."
"WHAT!" Bowser screamed at his two kids, "There are two toads out there that are not under our control! Why did you not bring them here?"
"Sorry King Dad!" Wendy replied, "They got away! But we promise we'll find them both tomorrow!"
"No!" Bowser roared, "Lakira and Kamek will go after the toads. One in their custody, Kamek and Lakira will hypnotize them both, and if they refuse to join us, by force, then we'll have Lakira or Kamek kill them!"
Lakira blinked and looked over at Bowser, "My lord… what?"
"It's as it sounds Lakira, you and Kamek will be leaving tomorrow to find those two toads." Bowser said.
Lakira bowed, "Very well my Lord. I'll go tell Kamek right now." Lakira turned and left the room.
Bowser smiled evilly and looked at Wendy and Morton Jr. "Go join the other kids. You wont be necessary right now."
"Yes sir!" Wendy and Morton Jr. yelled at the same time.
Bowser leaned back on his throne, "After I gain control or get rid of those two toads, the Mushroom Kingdom will be truly mine! Isn't that right… Peach?"
Peach walked out of the shadows. She was dressed in a black dress that looked a lot like her golf outfit. Her long golden hair was tied into a bun. Her sapphire blue eyes lost their light, and dulled into a pale navy blue due to her being hypnotized, "Yes… King Bowser."
