Daisy woke up in the middle of the night to a ringing phone next to her. Who could be calling her at one in the morning? She yawned, annoyed as she answered the phone.

"Hello?" she asked unsuspectingly.

"Your highness, there's some bad news." the voice on the other line answered quietly.

"Yes….?" she slowly asked, growing a bit impatient.

"There's been an accident."

Daisy's heart started racing uncontrollably. Who could possibly be hurt? Was it…?

"According to the information we have on the hospitalized person, it is Luigi… Mario?"

She broke into soft sobs as she mumbled through the phone "I'll be there soon.."

"Okay your highness." the caller answered as they ended the call.

When she arrived at the hospital, there were clear bags under her red teared up eyes, her hair was messy, and her crown was disheveled on her head.

"Hello, your highness, sorry to bother you at one in the morning." the toad gently apologized.

Sorry to bother her? She wanted to burst into tears and fury, but she knew she couldn't do that in front of her subjects.

"H-How is he?" she shakily muttered.

"We need to bring you to one of the doctors to release any information. Can you please sign in over there?" he asked calmly.

She wanted to slap the toad silly, but she regained her composure and headed toward the desk. She looked at the sign in sheet, and read the names above hers. Mario Mario and Princess Peach Toadstool. She tried to laugh at herself to calm her down, but it only made her feel more jumpy as it escaped her mouth. She quickly scribbled her name on the sheet and almost fell over anxiously as the doctor arrived.

"Hello your Highness, how are you today?" the doctor sighed, trying to shake her hand. She didn't respond and bit her lower lip, even more nervous to what could've happened. The toad's clammy hand was cold and wrinkly. "He's doing fine in there, but he has a weak pulse, some internal bleeding, and severely broken ribs and legs." he slowly said, trying not to get Daisy too jumpy. Her heart started pounding hard against her chest.

"Why can't you give him a healing mushroom or something?" she stupidly blurted out.

"I'm sorry, but unfortunately it wasn't effective on his behalf. We've tried all of the mushroom powerups and magic, but nothing has been proven effective on his body yet." he responded quite sternly.

"N-Nothing worked?" her lip quivered slightly from the doctor's words.

"He is immune to powerups, because of the amount of dosages he's had through his life."

"Can I see him?" her voice cracked and her eyes welled up slowly.

"Yes, he's in a good state right now." he responded flatly.

Daisy walked through the hall and saw Peach and Mario sitting in the hallway, across from each other looking at different directions. Mario's arms were crossed tightly over his chest, and Peach's nails were digging into the chair in worry.

"You can sit over there, and the nurse will let you in one by one." he impatiently said, and quickly left the hallway. Daisy looked at the only open chair, which was right next to Mario. She slowly walked over toward the chair, her cheeks burning, and gently sat down. Mario shot a quick glance at her, which turned into a sneer, but turned back around. Peach couldn't muster up the courage to look at either of them without tears falling out of her eyes.
