A/N; Thank you for your patience, as I am terribly sorry for my absence. I have had a rough start with this story, and I hope to continue it as grow as a writer. So, first things first: Thank you, GothGirl01 for the review. I will take the tips into mind and try to use them the best I can. Another review from Great Mistake was posted, and I thank you too! xxx
The room was dark. Everything was dark. The fast clacking of nurses' shoes on ceramic floor could be heard by the famous patient. Mario, still groggy from the pain medication that Dr. Goomba had assigned the hero, let out a sigh.
Suddenly, the darkness vanished and was replaced by bright lights shining in Mario's eyes. The plumber sighed as he wiped a few beads of sweat from his brow. "Mama mia..." He whined pathetically. Getting to his feet, Mario threw the thin sheets from his body, only to reveal a hospital gown underneath.
"Mario! You're awake! I was so worried about you." Exclaimed a rather scraggly looking Princess Peach. Mario had a concussion, and had been in a coma for about a week by the time he had awoken. Finally the realization that he couldn't walk dawned on the Italian plumber. Stumbling to grab a pole, he looked at Peach with a weird expression.
"... Who are you?" He asked blankly. Peach gasped in response.
"Now, Mario. Don't play games with me." She replied, her voice cracking.
Finally, Dr. Goomba arrived. "Oh! Mario, you're awake." She exclaimed, jumping and rushing over to the patient. "How do you feel?"
"Will someone get this crazy pink lady off of me?" He asked, his eyes wide.
Dr. Goomba frowned. "Now, I did predict that he'd have some memory loss, but not too much so that he doesn't remember his family or friends." She said, talking to nobody but herself.
At that moment, another princess came rushing in. Now, you'd think it was the tomboy femme from Sarasaland. But, no. This princess was a little different. And, god knows why she was there to check up on Mario.
"Oh my stars! You're awake!" Rosalina cheered, rushing into the room with grace.
"Oh, Mama mia. Will someone just tell me what is going on? Who are you people?" Mario replied.
"So, he's got no memory whatsoever of friends and family, but he remembers who he is? Interesting..." Dr. Goomba spoke again.
Peach was breathing into a paper bag in a very uncomfortable looking chair, trying to process the situation. Luigi was nowhere to be found, and Rosalina was sitting on the bed, whispering to Luma.
Once their conversation was over, Rosalina stood. "I think I know a way to bring Mario's memory back." She said, facing the crowd.
Mario sat back down on the bed.
"It'll take a few weeks, but I can get a remedy from the Lumas on their planet." She continued proudly. "If this remedy is to fail, Mario may never get his memories back." She finished.
Silence followed Rosalina's little speech. All eyes were on her, and the only other sound was the distant hum of the computers and appliances.
A/N; Once again, a shorty chapter. Apologies. So, I left kind of a Cliff-hanger here. I made him lose his memories for a very specific reason. It's so you can find out how Bowser became a multi-million dollar heir, and all that other juicy stuff. Anyways, it's bye for now.
What will Rosalina's remedy consist of?
Will Mario ever regain his memories?
Where is Luigi?
Stay tuned for the next chapter!
