Chapter 3

Finally, Mario Time!

I do not own the Mario Franchise, Nintendo does.

The Mushroom Kingdom Council was in a worry. Not about economic or agricultural problems, but of war. "The Koopa Troop is ready to attack any day now Princess!" An elderly toad said, he was representing Mushroom City, "Mushroom Kingdom's largest city will surely be first target!" Another stood up, but this was a blue penguin, representing Sherbet Land, "Yes everything's in danger! What will that oversizes turtle do to Sherbet National Park?" Someone immediately stood up and spoke, "Don't panic, thats probably what Bowser wants," an elderly toad sitting next to the Princess said. "Yes Toadsworth is right, we shouldn't panic, we have an able army, and a strong agricultural and industrial backbone. We should think of protecting ourselves and form alliances," The Pink Princess Peach said. "Yes that is our top priority, great idea your Majesty!" A Big Whomp with a crown said. (You see. After SM 64, King Whomp forgave Mario and joined his side.) "Splendid!" Toadsworth remarked," We shall meet with the other Kingdoms and see if they form an allegiance pact." "Great, who agrees?" Princess Peach said, in which a majority raised their hands (or flippers). " Council Dismissed!" Toadsworth proclaimed, in which everybody stood up and left. "Great move your Highness!" Toadsworth told the Princess," I shall schedule a meeting first thing!" "Why thank you Toadsworth!" Peach said, "Now let's go to the castle!"

Next Morning:

"Princess the Leaders are here!" Toadsworth proclaimed. Peach was descending from her main stairs, looking at the Leaders of the Foreign Lands. She saw Queen Lima and Prince Peasley. King Thorne and Princess Daisy (who waved at her), A blue Yoshi with a black mustache and Yoshi (who also waved), Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong, and Princess Eclair. "Welcome to our abode," Toadsworth said while bowing, in which the special guests looked pleased. "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom!" Peach said also bowing down, "May our countries form an allegiance of peace." "My how courteous of you," Eclair said with a smile. "Thank you, may I show you to the room?" Peach asked, in which the guests agreed in unison. As Toadsworth led them to the room, Peach talked to Daisy in a silent conversation. "So Peach, how's it been? I'm glad we could meet again, I'm thankful my dad even let come.." Daisy was about to say more when she heard grunt from her father. "Well glad to see you again Daisy, it's been great here except for Bowser and his armies, but anyways its great, and you?" Peach replied. "Well its been the same, no Koopa troops seen, I'm thankful we're south of your kingdom though," Daisy said with a smile, "So how's Luigi?" She said with a slight blush, and saw her father roll his eyes and smile. Oh...green plumber, just marry her already, King Thorne thought, but was cut before he could think more, "Oh he's OK, he just misses you that's all," Peach said with a playful smile, in which Daisy could do nothing but blush harder, Oh plumber, King Thorne thought rolling his eyes.

Soon they arrived to the room, "Well here we are, please be seated," Toadsworth announced, then all the Leaders sat down.

"Luigi!" The red-hatted called out, "come on, we're going to the castle!" The green-hatted Luigi came down the stairs, " But-a Mario, why, I haven't even finished my errands at my mansion!" "Because Peach and Toadsworth appointed us Generals of the Armies or something," Mario said. "Oh yeah, that meeting!" Luigi said while snapping his fingers, "maybe they have free pasta!" "Well, what are we a-waiting for? Lets-a Go!" They both ran to the door and dashed to the castle.

"Mario, where do we go know?" Luigi said, staring at the many rooms in the castle. "Easy Luigi," Mario said assuringly, whilst pointing at a sign, "it says to go that way, come on!". They both dashed down the hall to a room, and stood in shock as they saw it. "Mamma-mia, it looks like something out a Toades Bond movie." Luigi said in awe. And it did, there was strange lighted tables and maps that were made of what seemed to be green lasers on glass, and many toads, piantas, yoshis, birdos, and nokis looking at papers or the maps. "Luigi, what did we get into?" Mario said, "That's what I ask you every time, Mario." Luigi answered. There awe was soon cut short by a deep and stern voice saying, "Generals, are you okay?" Mario and Luigi immediately faced reality, looking for the person who said that. "Er hem, down here," the voice again said, which made the Brothers look down to an elderly toad who they thought looked a lot like Toadsworth, except he had the typical white-red pattern on his head and a suit and cap. "Well hello Generals, my name is General Toadsmorth, perhaps you know Toadsworth, my brother?" the toad said while doing hand gestures. "Why hello there Toadsmorth," the plumbers said in unison while staring down amazed. The old toad could do nothing but chuckle.
