The next morning in the mushroom kingdom after Mario and Peach got up and got dressed. They went downstairs to the dining room to have breakfast and hope that Ash got back to the castle. They were very upset because it is the saddest day of their lives. After all, it is Felicia's birthday. Peach was thinking about her lost daughter and hoping that she is all right and That she will come home today.

Peach: oh Mario today is the day that we all been waiting for it is Felicia's birthday and I hope that this time that she will come home.

Mario: I know Peach but we should also hear from Ash first and like you said if he doesn't come back in the morning. Then I and Luigi will go out to look for him but so I think I am going to call him to see if he is awake after we eat our breakfast. Cheer up sweetie we will find her I promise you that we will. He says as he gives peach a kiss on her cheek. Peach was feeling a little better knowing everything is going to be alright all she has to do is believe and trust Mario.

Peach: thank you Mario I am glad that someone around here had some confidence in themselves.

Mario: come on Peach we better get ready and I think I should go out and look for Ash it's morning and he is still not back yet. I think I should go out and look for him but first I think I should call him before I go and if he doesn't answer the phone then I will go out and look for him.

Peach: okay Mario if you think that is the best idea then I will not stop you. I will be here with luigi if you need more help.

Mario: awww thank you so much peach. I just hope Ash is alright and didn't get into huge trouble. but I will be there to help him if he does.

Peach was unsure if Mario should leave her alone cause she will need all the help with planting the golden mushroom. but Mario tried to call him but he was not answering which was getting him worried but he told Luigi to stay behind with the princess and help her get ready for ceremony and to make sure everything is perfect for the planting of the golden mushroom. He will get in contact with him once he finds Ash.

Then Mario got all of the stuff that he will need for the trip and grabbed Yoshi and started to go out to look for Ash. By using his phone to search for any dark forests that could be somewhere in the area.

When Mario was getting ready for his adventure back in the dark scary forest Ash and Pikachu were still sound asleep until Pikachu heard something that was coming from the bushes pikachu went over to it but before he could get up so he can see what woke him. Then all of a sudden a female pikachu ran out of the bushes and landed on top of Pikachu. But after the female pikachu realize what she did she went back to the bush to hide before Pikachu got a better look at it. His vision was still foggy cause he just got up that was why he didn't see what hit him.

Pikachu: woah what was that. I felt something hugging me for a moment oh wow it's morning already. Then when pikachu got up he noticed that Ash was still sleeping but before he could wake him he heard something coming from the bushes so he quietly rubbed on Ash's leg but it didn't work so he used thunderbolt which got him very mad.

Ash: alright Pikachu what was that for. Why did you wake me up like that?

Then Pikachu just jumped on his shoulder and pointed to the bush that was making the noise.

Pikachu: Something is coming from the bushes.

Ash: oh I see something is over there. Be quiet Pikachu so that we don't scare it.

Pikachu: well whatever it is it woke me up and It crashed into me. What do you think it is I hope it isn't a monster or something that will kill us.

Ash: alright Pikachu we are not going to find out if we are not quiet. It doesn't hurt to find out. So be quiet.

But when Ash was about to remove the bush a female pikachu came out of the bush and ran straight to Ash's leg. The pikachu was crying into his legs it looked like she was scared of something or it looked like something was chasing her. Ash picked it up and started to hug it with a little help from Pikachu. Which made the female pikachu calm down when she saw Pikachu looking at her with care In his face. She was also happy to know that there was another Pikachu in the area. Especially in a scary place like this.

Ash: awww it is just a female pikachu, she's so beautiful, but I wonder if she got lost in the forest just like we did. Maybe if we work together we can find our way out of here. But I want to know where did this female pikachu came from. Do you even have a trainer?

The female Pikachu calm down and then she started to talk and this is what she said yes but I can't go back even though I want too cause so I can help my new friend out.

Ash: oh you do will do you know where we can find your trainer. why don't you want to go back? Ash can tell that this Pikachu was dealing with a lot of stress.

Rosemary: Yes I do but I don't think it is a good idea. That I should go back to her.

Ash: why were you abandoned? Cause I know some Trainers do that when their Pokemon is too weak.

Rosemary: oh no it was nothing like that it is just a long story why I can't go back to her. You see she lives with this very scary monster and she let me go so that her so-called dad doesn't hurt me. So she let me go so that I won't get hurt.

Ash: oh my gosh I think we should help your trainer out. That is horrible do you want to go back to her. She probably misses you too.

Rosemary: No, No it's too dangerous. I would love to go back to her and see her again but it's to dangerous.

Ash didn't like Rosemary not wanting to go back cause it was to dangerous but he really wanted to help her and maybe who ever her trainer is must know the way out of the forest. Ash didn't want to leave this poor Pikachu alone. So him and Pikachu decided to help rosemary even if the place is dangerous or not.

Ash: come on I had face a lot of dangers in my time right pikachu. I am sure I can handle a monster but first before we do. I have to make a phone call to my friend and tell him that I am still in the forest.

So when Ash left the group so that he can call Mario but he was not getting any answers so he assumed that he is probably looking for him now, or his phone is dead but the only problem is that they have no idea where they are. So it will be very hard for Mario to find them. So after Ash tried to call Mario he went back to join the Pikachu and Rosemary decided to join Ash and Pikachu for the moment because they wanted to know where she came from cause maybe they can find someone that can help them get out of the forest but who would live in a dark and scary forest like this.

Then Rosemary forgot to introduced herself. Ash and Pikachu also forgot to do that too. So Ash was the first to introduce himself.

Ash: oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself my name is Explorer Ash and this is my best friend Pikachu we are on an adventure to look for away out of here so we can go to this kingdom that is called the mushroom kingdom. We need to go there so we can show our friends how our training went and you are probably wondering what is this training for. You see my two friends have lost their daughter and I am out here to look for her. So I think I told you enough about me and Pikachu so what is your name.

Rosemary: it is nice to meet you, my name is Rosemary. The reason why I am here is that I got myself lost in this forest but then I was getting chased by a Beedrill but it lead me to this very dark castle and that was when I met this very nice girl. She saved me from this giant ball with a face on it and it was trying to eat me and he was on a balcony of the castle I guess but the girl saved me from it. I wanted to stay with her but she couldn't keep me because of this monster that is supposed to be her father.

Ash: oh no that's horrible I bet that girl wanted to keep you too.

Then at the moment, Ash was deep in thought for a moment. Pikachu noticed he was also thinking the same thing.

Ash: Pikachu are you thinking what I'm thinking.

Pikachu: that we should head back to the mushroom kingdom before Mario and peach freak out.

Ash: No we should help Rosemary get back to her trainer. Cause I also want to see this castle for myself.

Pikachu: but how are we going to do that like Rosemary said it is too dangerous.

Ash: Oh come on Pikachu did you remember what I said before and after all, we have faced so many dangers in the past. So what makes this monster different from the rest of the other dangers that we had faced. Who knows maybe this castle might be a new adventure for us Pikachu and it could have lots of treasure. are something even better we are not going to know how scary this place is if we don't go there. So I say that we are going to that castle so we can return Rosemary back to her trainer.

Then he turned to rosemary and said don't worry we will get you back to your trainer if it will take us the rest of our lives.

Rosemary: oh thank you so much, she says as she jumped into Ash's arms and hugs him and hopefully he will set that girl free from her father's control.

Rosemary was very grateful that these two wanted to help her but she doesn't want to go back to that scary place again but she knows that she has to help that girl out cause she probably doesn't want to be there either especially how her father treats her.

Pikachu: I know that Ash but how are we going to find it, it is way too dark to see anything and we don't even know what we are up against.

Ash: well that is true and I think it is time that we take this training to the test. So I say that we should help Rosemary get back to her Trainer and we are never going to find a way out of here if we don't look around the place.

Pikachu and Rosemary knew that there was no way to snap Ash out of this crazy idea. But Rosemary wanted to be with that girl again and maybe she can help us find a way out of here. So pikachu and Rosemary decided to just go along with Ash's idea.

Ash: so Rosemary do you remember where this place is. Are any idea what the castle looks like.

Rosemary: well the castle is surrounded by lava But I didn't get a better look at it because After I left I ran out of there without looking back. The more I ran the more it started to disappear and that Is how I ran into you guys.

Ash: well okay let's see do you even remember how to get there. okay all you have to do is retrace your steps. Do you remember what happened before you found us.

Rosemary: yes I do remember how to get there but we have to be careful I don't know what type of creatures are out here.

Ash: don't worry as long as we have each other we can handle those creatures with no problem at all. So come on we are not going to get anywhere if we just stand here so Rosemary shows us the way.

So Ash and the Pokemon all went deep into the forest to look for the castle. They have been walking for hours and it was no sign of a castle anywhere.

Pikachu: okay I think we are just getting more lost. I think we should just start looking for a way out instead. I'm sorry rosemary are you sure there was a castle here. Are you also sure that you know where we are going? Cause all I see fog and it is really hard to see anything.

Rosemary: I'm pretty sure that we are going the right way or as less we are just going the wrong way. But if we find a sea of lava I am sure we are getting close. But be careful there will be a lot of guards and dangers around here so just to warn you especially around that castle. It looks like the guards were these weird turtle things.

Ash: weird turtle thing hum is it a Squirtle.

Rosemary: I am not sure but it had yellow skin and had red or green shells.

Ash: okay now I get it so let's see how much danger is around here. I will show them who is the dangerous one around here. Let's go you two. I wonder if Mario knows what they are all hoping that he and Peach or alright.

But as Ash was in front of them Pikachu offered his hand to Rosemary and he told her that he wishes that Ash will find someone to love him and Pikachu wanted to know more about the girl that Rosemary met. Wondered if this girl might be the perfect match for Ash.

Rosemary started to tell him that she has beautiful light brown hair and she is very sweet, kind, and gentle. That is what I see in her but I feel very bad about how her father treats her.

Pikachu: really why is that does he abuse her or something.

Rosemary: No he treats her like a slave and just thinking about her in that situation is too upsetting. I wanted to stay and help her but she said that if her father sees me he will throw me off a window or burn me alive. So she did that to protect me from her evil father. She shouldn't be treated like that. That is why I am happy that we decided to go to the dark castle. So we can help her and how he talks to her is gross.

Pikachu understood what rosemary was telling him. But what they didn't know Ash was overhearing what they were saying and he also felt bad for the girl as well. " that is so horrible they needed to help her. He also wanted to know if the castle had any treasure cause he has heard castles have lots of items that are made out of gold. Will, it looks like rosemary is not the only one that needs help. Once we find this place rosemary will return to her and maybe I can get myself a little piece of gold there as well. He also wanted to know what kind of monster he is facing.

So as Ash and the pikachu were deep inside the forest looking for this castle or looking for a way out. Let's see how Mario is doing on his adventure. So when he was about to look for any signs of any dark forest in the area he got a missed call from Ash. He was so happy to know that he was alive and happy that he called him like he said that he would. But before he could answer the phone he decided to use it to track down any dark forests in the area for right now and he only found like 3 of them that is nearby. There was this one forest that had a lava lake with a castle. The other one had lots of ghosts in it and the last one was an icy dark forest.

Mario: now which one should we go first, Yoshi. Then he heard his phone and it was Ash. I think we should go down to the one with the ghost I wonder if king boo got his hands on Him or maybe he could be the one who kidnapped my daughter as well so lets go down to the ghost forest and also I think that I will need Luigi for this cause since he is good at catching ghosts.

But before Mario was about to call his brother he forgot to call Ash back but he wasn't getting any single so he will just have to deal with King boo on his own.

Mario: okay Yoshi are you ready let's go say hello to King Boo and see if he is the reason why my daughter has been missing all these years and hope that he didn't capture Ash on his way to save my daughter and this will give me the chance to see how well his training went. Once I get a single I will call Luigi first before I call Ash back to see where he is and to see if Luigi can help me with catching the ghosts with his vacuum. So let's go.

Then Mario and Yoshi ran into a forest that Is called boo woods so he can see if king boo has his daughter and Ash.

Mario: but remember this Yoshi once we get to that forest I am sure king boo has some traps that he is waiting to trap us in so stay alert at all times.

Then Mario went on top of Yoshi and headed straight to boo woods. " I swear Yoshi once I get my hands on that ghost for stealing my daughter he is going to pay for all of the pain that he has caused for me and Peach," Mario says as he was riding on top of Yoshi and getting ready to fight. Hoping to find some wifi so he can contact Luigi so that he can help him with the ghosts and so he can find out where Ash is so for right now Mario has to assume which forest that he went to.

Meanwhile back at bowser's castle bowser realize that he needed to go somewhere and he can't being Jr with him so he told Felicia to do whatever Jr says. So anyway in her room Felicia was still sound asleep dreaming about her handsome man to save her from her prison. So after a moment too soon she heard someone knocking on her door so she got out of bed and went to the door. It was bowser who was proud to see her open the door for him.

Felicia: good morning father I hope you slept well and had wonderful dreams she says as she was rubbing his shoulders.

Bowser: oh good morning to you too my dear and thank you for the shoulder rub it is what I need to start my day.

Felicia: well you deserve it. After all, a father like you deserves the best, especially for a day like this.

Then Bowser remembered something that he has to go somewhere and he needs her to babysit jr for him. But she was disappointed cause today is her birthday and she wanted to spend it with her father and her brother. But she has to say yes.

Bowser: oh before I forget I need you to take care of junior for me. I just need to do a couple of things and I can't have junior come with me. You are going to babysit him and do whatever he says do I make myself clear.

Felicia looked down in shame and said yes father. " oh father is there anything that you would like to tell me.

Bowser: I know dear it is your birthday that is why I am going out but I can't tell you what it is cause it is a surprise. But come on serve me and Jr breakfast before I leave.

Felicia bowed and said of course father and still upset that her father is making her work on her birthday but it didn't bother her that much cause she knows that today is going to be the day that she will see that bright light and find out where It is coming from.

So after Felicia was done making breakfast Bowser can see that she still wants to go outside so he hires extra security to make sure that she does not leave and no one can get in. So he called the best in second in command kamek to make sure that no one comes in and nobody leaves. Also to keep Felicia busy and make sure that she doesn't fool around.

Bowser: so my child remember I will only be gone for 5 hours. Are you going to be alright? He says as he hugged her and kissed her on the head. Also, Kamek will keep an eye on you to make sure that you do what you are told.

Felicia: as long as I am here I will always feel safe. I promise Jr will be in good hands she says nervously afraid of what Jr and Kamek are going to make her do when he leaves.

Bowser: that's my girl, now Jr please behave yourself will I am gone and have a lot of fun with your sister.

Jr: Oh don't you worry Papa I and Felicia are going to have loads of fun together. He says with an evil look on his face.

Then Bowser left the table with Felicia helping him with his jacket and kissed him on the cheek and said I love you father and take care.

Bowser: I love you too child he says cupping her chin. Now, remember no fooling around cause we don't want the same thing that happened yesterday don't you dear.

Felicia: oh of course not father. She says as she bows to him.

Bowser: very good dear. He says as he pets her on the head. "I promise when I get back you are going to love your surprise". he continued to say

Then Bowser went on his crown car and flew away. When Felicia waved goodbye to him and when he was out of sight. Felicia turned to Jr and said, " so Jr what do you want to do".

Jr looked at her and said why are you speaking did I permit you to talk no I didn't and how dare you call me Jr. You will call me Master my father said that you have to do anything that I say. So I want you to put on this sexy maid outfit and these chains around your ankles and after you are dressed you will lay right next to your master. Now get change slave he says

Felicia didn't like how Jr was talking to her like that she was about to say something to him but she took the outfit that Jr gave her and just kneel right next to him as he was petting her like she was a dog. Felicia knew that she couldn't do anything cause if she didn't do what Jr says she will get in trouble with her father even if the commands that he gives her or unusual. Most of the things that he tells her to do are to make sweets for him and hand feed him, give him massages. So anyway after Felicia got dressed. She didn't like what she was wearing it was a black and white maid outfit that had no sleeves and a black skirt that went around her waist. she kneeled before him and went right next to his throne as he was petting her on the head and said.

Felicia: how may I serve you master.

Jr: now what should you do to make you loyal to me. How about you give your master the same shoulder rub that you gave papa this morning and then after that my toes need a little cleaning.

Felicia: as you wish Master. Then Felicia started to walk over to him and started to rub his shoulders.

Jr: very good my pet now that my shoulders feel good I am starting to get a little hungry so would you mind making me one of your cakes and don't forget to feed me.

Felicia: of course master.

Then Felicia went to go make a cake with help from Kroopa and groompa helping with the decorations on the cake she wanted to make a cake out of Junior's head. After it was done Felicia asked Kroopa and Groompa what they thought about it.

Kroopa: well Felicia it does look a lot like junior.

Felicia: well I couldn't have done it without you two she says as she was hugging her friends

But then kamek sprinkled something on top of the cake which caused it to explode all over the kitchen and the whole room was covered with cake everywhere

Kamek: hey maid you missed a spot which is everywhere.

Felicia: No, No kamek why did you do that, now I have to start all over and I worked very hard on that cake.

Kamek just laughed at her misery in fried off towards Groompa and Kroopa.

Kamek: what are you two doing helping her, you are supposed to be protecting her not helping her and just for that. He says as he was about to use his wand on them but Felicia stopped him.

Felicia saw what Kamek was about to do to her friends. So before he could be done with his sentence Felicia cut in front of them and told him to leave them alone Kamek. They are not doing anything wrong.

Kamek: oh what is this the maid is protecting her little friends how cute. I am sure you don't want your father to know that you were making a mess in the kitchen he is going to be very mad at you once he sees the mess that you made hahaha . Oh by the way happy birthday now clean this mess up hahaha

Felicia: you wouldn't do that

Kamek: oh yeah just watch me. So if I were you I would watch what I say little girl cause we don't want your father to know about this do we. He says as he placed a finger under her chin which made her stare into his face and she can tell that he was serious.

Felicia: wait please don't tell him I promise that I will clean it up and well you are here would you like anything.

Kamek: awww that is a much better child. I knew the boss raised you to be obedient. What I want from you is that I need you to do all of these things for me after you are done with Jr. But I want you to do them by yourself without help from your little friends. He says as he hands Felicia a list of stuff that kamek wanted her to do for him and It was a very long list.

Then Felicia realized that if she is ever going to survive today and have a great birthday she will have to do everything that everyone here tells her to do cause after all she is forced to become a slave. So she has no choice but to obey. So she just bowed her head and said.

Felicia: As you wish sir

Kamek: great now go out there and give Junior his food now. Oh, wait I forgot you can't cause you to have to start all over. Hahahaha. Then kamek left to see what else he can do to make Felicia's life miserable.

Groompa and Kroopa felt very bad about how Felicia is being treated on her birthday. So they both walked up to her and started to comfort her. Felicia was crying in her arms.

Kroopa: oh Felicia we are so sorry that these demons or treating you on your birthday. We promise that we will help you clean up the mess.

Felicia: oh thank you both so much.

Groompa: thank you for saving us and Kroopa is right you shouldn't be treated like this. But one day they will get their day.

Felicia: thank you I can't even stop thanking you guys but we better get going Junior is going to be so mad at me now. When is this nightmare ever going to end? Koopa walked up to her and rubbed her arm.

Then her friends helped her up and Groompa said don't worry Felicia I am sure today will get better all you have to do is wait.

Felicia: thank you guys I am starting to feel a little better already

So after Felicia and her friends were done with cleaning the kitchen but Felicia realized that she still has to make the cake for Junior and she has a feeling that he is not going to like how long he had to wait for his cake for. But Felicia also knew that Kamek will be back to destroy her cake again. So to keep him out of the way Kroopa and Groompa have decided to keep an eye out for him so that Felicia can make another cake for Junior.

So when Felicia was done with her cake she made sure that Kamek was not around and he wasn't so when she came out of the kitchen she went to the throne room so she can give Junior his cake and when he saw her he was not happy about how long he had to wait for.

Junior: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN AND WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG. HOW DARE YOU MAKE YOUR MASTER WAIT LIKE THIS.

Felicia tried to explain herself but Junior would not listen.

This is what she was trying to say to him " but Master you don't understand what happened".

Junior: enough slave now feed your master at once and I bet you were dreaming again oh I can't wait to tell our dad about this. Or you were fooling around like you did yesterday.

Then Felicia got down on her knees and begged him not to.

Felicia: oh master please don't do that. I promise it will never happen again.

Junior: why are you speaking I didn't tell you to talk. Slaves or meant to be seen, not heard my pet. Now get back to work.

Then Felicia just gives up and just didn't bother to say anything.

Jr told her to come over to his throne and told her to hand feed him.

So When Jr was having a lot of fun with his new slave. As he was enjoying watching Felicia hand feed him and made her do some other things to like he made her dance for him.

Felicia prayed that this day will get better but the more that she keeps on hoping the more Junior and Kamek keeps on torturing her. But up in space, a blonde woman wearing a blue dress and her name is Rosalina and she has been keeping her eye on Felicia ever since she was born and she was not happy how Jr is treating her so she decided to have a little fun with Junior and the other minions that wanted to make Felicia's life miserable. Cause she is planning that this will be the day that she will know who she is but she has to go to the bright light to find out but she can't help her with that cause someone else is going to be helping her soon. So she decided to have that person teach Felicia who she was meant to be.

So anyway after Jr was done with her he sent Felicia to her room but when she got up there she realized that Kamek was guarding the window so that nothing can get in or out.

When she saw him she just signed and knew that this birthday is not going to be happy. So she just laid down on her bed and started to do something that she always wanted to do and that is to cry on her pillow and started to sop into the pillow and realize that she will never escape from her prison. She doesn't understand why they treated her like this all she does is serve them from head to toe and she never gets thank you. The only time that she is free is really in her dreams.

Felicia(sops) why do they treat me like this, what did I do to deserve this life. I do whatever my father and my brother tell me to do. I just have to face the facts that I am never going to be free and I am going to be a prisoner for the rest of my life. What was I thinking dreams don't come true? There is no hope for me and no one is ever going to free me from here I just have face the facts that I am a slave and that is what I am meant to be.

Rosalina heard Felicia's cries and she wanted to help her but the only thing that she could do is watch for now " oh poor sweet child don't worry your prince is on his way to save you and he will send you home to your real mom and dad. So in the meantime, I will watch over and make sure that those minions wouldn't destroy the rest of your birthday my child. Your call to freedom is happening today I promise you that. She says as she poured some magic on top of the girls' head. As she was still crying and didn't realize the magic that was being placed In her. I promise things are going to get better for you. You just have to wait a little longer good things happen to those who wait. She says as she continued to drop some more magic stars on top of the girls head.

So that Is what Is going on in bowser castle. Felicia thought that she was going to have a great birthday but all she got was extra work on her special day and it didn't even feel like a birthday anymore. It felt more like a torture day than a birthday. Today she wanted to prove to her father that she survive on her own. She just has to prove it to him but don't worry she will get her chance sooner or later. So in the next chapter, we are going to see if Ash and the Pikachu found the castle and what are they going to find when they get there and what is bowser planning to do for Felicia's birthday will it be a good thing or another thing that will destroy Mario all you have to do is wait until the next chapter and let's hope that Felicia will get a better birthday and will Mario find king boo and realize that he was not the one that kidnapped his daughter. Ohhh lots of good things or bad things are coming up. I hope all of you are excited as I am. So I will see you on the next chapter. Let's go mamma mia.
