Boggly Woods (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Did you guys hear that?" Natsu asked.
"Uh, no..." Lucy replied.
"I heard it too." Wendy replied.
"What'd you guys hear?" Mario asked.
"Well, I'm not certain...but it sounded like a woman was in trouble." Natsu said.
"Out in the woods? I'm not surprised." Gray said as they soon found themselves in front of a house.
"Who lives here?" Natsu asked.
"Madame Flurrie." Punio replied.
"Ah." He nodded and then knocked on the door. "Hello, Flurrie? You in here?" He asked but no one answered. "Hmm..." He just opened the door and walked in.
"You can't just barge in!" Luigi exclaimed. "That's rude!"
"Welcome to my world..." Lucy muttered as they went in anyway.
"Hello? Flurrie?" Punio called out but still no response. "Ah, she's probably freshening up in her room." He said as they walked further in.
"Whoa, this whole place is...amazing." Lucy said.
"Wow, this is incredible." Erza said. "Where did she get all this?" She wondered as they walked up to the room.
"Hello?" Natsu asked as he put his hand on the door.
"Eeep! Don't come in!" A voice shouted. "You mustn't see me like this!"
Have a Nice Talk (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
"Uh, how come?" Gray asked.
"Well, you see...my favorite necklace has gone missing and well, I never leave home without it."
"Your...necklace?" Natsu had a dumbfounded expression on his face, in fact, Gray, Mario, Luigi and Koops were dumbfounded too. "Can't you just get another one?"
"What?! Out of the question! I will not wear another necklace! This necklace I lost is my favorite one and I shan't wear another one!"
"I can understand that, if I lost one of my Celestial keys, I'd be searching countless hours for it." Lucy said.
"Strawberry shortcake for me." Erza said.
"How do you even lose cake in the first place?" Gray asked.
"You got me." Mario shrugged.
"WAIT A SECOND!" Wendy yelled. "I remember overhearing something about those three ghost girls talking about a necklace!"
"That must be the necklace." Carla said.
"You! Whoever just spoke! Did you say you know where my necklace is?"
"It's a theory, but I'm sure we'll find it." Wendy said.
"Good, I'll just remain here putting my makeup on." Flurrie said.
"Let's go!" Lucy said and took off.
"Is it me, or is she a diva?" Gray asked.
"Well, in her defense, she was an actress back in the day." Punio said.
Meanwhile...
Shadow Sirens (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"SILENCE!" Beldam yelled. "Enough of this bickering! We must study this sketch!" She said and pulled it out.
"AHA! I KNEW YOU HAD IT!" Vivian yelled.
Beldam growled. "Shut up." She said and then they all looked at the sketch. "Hmm, quite an interesting group."
"The shirtless guy seems cute." Vivian said.
Somewhere with Juvia...
Juvia stopped walking. "Something wrong Juvia?" Levy asked.
"I sense another love rival!" Juvia growled.
"Again?" Gajeel asked as the group ran past them, not even noticing them. "Where the heck are they going?"
Back with them...
"AAAAH!" Beldam screamed. "THAT WAS THE GROUP WHO WALKED PAST US! VIVIAN! THIS IS YOUR ENTIRE FAULT!"
"MY FAULT?! WHO WAS THE ONE THAT WAS BUSY SCOLDING ME THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THEM?!" Vivian yelled.
"YOU STARTED THIS WHOLE MESS!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
"DID NOT!"
"Ahem..." A voice said as they turned to see the group standing there with their arms folded.
"Um...how much did you see all of that?" Beldam asked.
"Quite enough." Erza replied. "Now, who are you three?" She asked while summoning her sword.
"Well if you must know...we are..." Beldam smirked.
"The three..." Marilyn smirked.
"Shadow Beauties!" Vivian grinned.
"Shadow Beauties?" Happy asked.
"VIVIAN! YOU IDIOT!" Beldam yelled. "WHERE DID YOU EVER HEAR ME SAY 'SHADOW BEAUTIES'?!"
"Y-you were calling us beauties all the time and I just thought..."
"Hmph! That was just an expression! Although if we were to be called Shadow Beauties, we'd be calling ourselves Shadow Beauties plus one Shadow UGLY." Beldam growled.
"Would that ugly shadow be you?" Vivian asked.
An anime tic mark appeared on Beldam's forehead. "NO! IT'S YOU, YOU UGLY CRETIN!" She yelled and then slapped her. "Oh, I am going to punish you SEVERELY when we're done here!"
Wendy looked at Vivian who had tears running down her cheeks. Poor thing... She thought.
"Anyway..." Beldam smirked. "Let's begin this battle!"
"I'm ready to smoke you!" Natsu chuckled as they got ready for battle.
Shadow Sirens Scuffle (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Freeze!" Beldam exclaimed and then let out a blizzard but Gray ran in front of it like it was nothing.
"Please, is that the best you got?" Gray asked as he ran forward. "ICE MAKE: LANCE!"
"Gah!" Beldam exclaimed.
"OPEN! GATE OF THE LION, LOKE!" Lucy yelled.
"You wish to punish me, princess?" Virgo asked.
"VIRGO?!" Lucy yelled. "Wait...don't tell me that Loke is on a date with Aries!"
"He is." Virgo nodded and then dug underground.
"Guh!" Marilyn exclaimed as it rained down electricity on Mario, Luigi and Wendy.
"YOOOW!" Luigi yelled.
"You little..." Mario growled as he ran over and punched Marilyn in the face, and then Virgo came out of the ground and used an uppercut on Marilyn.
Vivian appeared behind Natsu and punched him in the back. "Hmm?" Natsu turned around.
"What the...?! You're supposed to be burning!"
"I'm immune to fire." Natsu smirked as Vivian's eyes widened. "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" He yelled, punching her to a tree.
"SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!" Wendy yelled, blasting Beldam into Marilyn.
"You rotten little shrimp!" Beldam growled and casted another blizzard attack, but it was stopped short when Gray kicked her from behind.
"ICE MAKE: HAMMER!" Gray yelled.
Vivian pointed directly at Lucy and smirked. "Burn." She said, but then Erza kicked her away and slashed her, as she yelled in pain.
Natsu jumped up. "FIRE DRAGON'S BRI-" Marilyn used another lightning bolt, as Natsu yelled in pain from the attack.
"Guh." Marilyn smirked, but then Natsu landed and then ran to her.
"I've dealt with worse lightning bolts!" He exclaimed. "FIRE DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" He yelled, hitting Marilyn dead center as she then fell and landed on Beldam.
"Gah! Get off of me, you buffoon!" Beldam growled.
"SKY DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" Wendy yelled.
"I'll stop you!" Vivian exclaimed, but chains wrapped around her. "Wh-what?!"
"Gotcha." Virgo said as Lucy ran over and kicked Vivian after Virgo let go of Vivian, knocking her to the ground and defeating all three of them.
Shadow Sirens
"Unbelievable!" Beldam growled as they got up. "We got destroyed by these fools?!" She said. "I am SEVERELY going to punish you when we return home." She glared at Vivian.
"Y-yes..." Vivian nodded.
"Let's go." Beldam ordered as she and Marilyn disappeared.
Boggly Woods
Vivian sighed and then dropped the necklace. "Why are you hanging out with them?" Wendy walked over to her.
"It's just..." Vivian sighed. "They're my sisters."
"And they punish you on a daily basis?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah." She nodded. "It's like that all the time."
"I know how you feel. Ever since my mother died, my father treated me differently." Lucy said. "You shouldn't be with them, they're abusive."
"But they're my family!"
"Do family members treat their siblings like trash?" Natsu asked. "Sounds to me that they don't care about you."
"But they do."
"No they don't." Erza folded her arms. "The way we all see it? They bully you and they treat you like trash. They're not real family."
Vivian said nothing. "Maybe you should think through of all of this." Luigi suggested.
"Yeah." Wendy nodded. "You may have to ask yourself if you really belong to those jerks or not."
"If you do decide to run away and bump into us, we'll welcome you with open arms." Natsu grinned.
"...Thanks..." Vivian grinned before disappearing.
"She seems like a nice girl...I don't know why they do those awful things to her." Lucy said as she picked up the necklace. "Well, we got the necklace."
"I will be going now, princess." Virgo said.
"Alright." Lucy nodded as Virgo disappeared and then they took off.
As soon as they got back to Flurrie's house, Lucy knocked on the door of Flurrie's room. "Um, hello? We got your necklace."
"Oh good! Just place it in front of the door, no one mustn't see me like this!" Flurrie ordered as Lucy nodded and placed it down as she walked away, and then Flurrie grabbed it and quickly shut the door. "Ah, at long last, my necklace is here." She said and put it on. "This calls for something special." She grinned as a disco ball appeared in the other room.
"What in the...?" Gray wondered as Flurrie came out of the room.
"Mmm, it feels good to get out of my room." Flurrie said and then looked at them. "So..." She looked seductively at the boys. "Who shall I thank for rescuing my necklace?" She asked, as all the boys took a step back...except for Luigi. "Ah..."
"Wait, what are you-"
"Get ready to pucker up~" Flurrie grinned as she basically shoved everyone out of the way and started kissing Luigi, as the poor plumber was flailing his arms and there were muffled screams as well.
"Mama mia!" Mario exclaimed.
"At least have the poor guy breathe!" Natsu exclaimed.
Somewhere in Sarasaland...
Daisy was walking around and saying hello to the local residents when all of a sudden she stopped. What is this feeling? She thought. Why do I have this feeling that Luigi is kissing another woman? She wondered and looked at the sky. Luigi...I swear, if you are kissing another woman...i'm going to kill you.
Back with the others...
Flurrie parted from Luigi. "Mama mia..." He said before collapsing as Happy and Natsu were right near him.
"Check his pulse! Is he breathing?" Happy asked.
"I'm getting no response!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Oh for the love of..." Lucy sighed as she checked the pulse on Luigi's wrist. "He's alright."
"Madame Flurrie! The Punis are in trouble!" Punio exclaimed. "There's this huge door that we can't seem to open and...and..."
"Say no more, little Punio." Flurrie said. "We'll rescue your friends."
"Let's go!" Punio exclaimed as they took off while Natsu was carrying an unconscious Luigi on his back.
The Great Tree (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"The secret entrance is up here!" Punio said as they went up the tree stump. "I can't find it anywhere though." He said. "I mean, it's not like it's labeled 'secret entrance' or anything!"
"Leave it to me." Flurrie said and used her mighty breath to blow several tree branches and leaves to uncover the secret entrance...and a sign that said 'secret entrance'.
"Oh...this is awkward." Punio sweatdropped. "Anyway, I'll go in." He said and then he went into the hole.
"Wait a minute, how come you wouldn't do that?" Natsu asked Wendy.
"Um...probably because I don't know where the secret entrance was at?" Wendy looked at him.
"Have I ever told you guys that I was once an actress?" Flurrie asked.
"Punio did mention it." Erza replied as Flurrie told them of her days in the spotlight until Punio came out with the door unlocked.
"Alright guys, it's unlocked!" Punio grinned.
"Well, let's go save his friends." Flurrie said as they walked into the Great Tree.

It feels weird ending a Kingdom Hearts series...i'm just saying. I feel kind of empty after I ended Next Generation.
