Super Mario's Daughter

by lynnferentinos

Can you imagine if Super Mario and Princess Peach had a daughter that is going to happen in this story. but when Bowser hears about it he kidnaps the child and raise her on his own. So that he can get revenge on Mario. this might be bowser greatest plan yet.

8. The new girl in town

This chapter is going to be interesting because we are at the mushroom kingdom but there are going to be some things that are going to remind Felicia of her past and I bet everyone is wondering how Peach is doing with the golden Mushroom. There is going to be a lot of fun going on in this chapter. So enough small talk and let's get the show on the road. I don't own Mario or Pokemon, all of those go to their respective companies.

When Ash and his friends got to the entrance of the kingdom. Felicia couldn't hold her excitement and looked around the place with amazement." Wow take a look you guys this place is so big and those little people are so cute" said Felicia with joy. Ash came up to her and said welcome to the mushroom kingdom and those little people are called toads" Ash explained to her. Felicia was not paying attention. She was already meeting some of the toads and they all greeted her with warm welcomes. But for some weird reason, Felicia thinks that this place looks very familiar but she can't remember where she knows this place from. Ash and the Pikachu were walking behind her so that they could watch her from a safe distance so that Felicia could take in the moments that she was seeing and so that she could enjoy herself. They were very happy that she was enjoying herself out there.

Then Ash looked at Pikachu and said " Man I am glad that I did this because look at her, she's glowing. Ash said as he let Pikachu onto his shoulder and agreed with him but he also reminded him that they still have to go to the castle cause he is sure that Mario and Peach must be very worried about them.

Then Pikachu agreed with him and said you are right Mario and Peach must be worried about us, we should go to the castle to check up on them and to let them know that we finally arrived here." Pikachu said

Before Ash was about to respond to Pikachu. Then suddenly Felicia ran up to him and gave him a hug kept on saying thank you nonstop. Ash just rubbed her back and was so blessed with how happy she was. Then he said: I am glad that you love it here but you do remember what I said to you before I need to go somewhere. So Rosemary I want you to take Felicia wherever she wants to go until I get back" Said Ash. Then he turned back to Felicia and took her hands in his and said " please promise me you won't wander off alone okay, cause this is your first time in a kingdom and I don't want you to get lost. So stay with rosemary. I will be back as soon as I can" Ash told Felicia.

Felicia: oh you don't need to worry about me, Ash. We are just going to look around and do a little sightseeing. Then we will meet up at that fountain over there, She says as she pointed to the middle of town where a fountain was.

Ash: okay we will meet you near that fountain but please don't leave this kingdom okay. I don't want you to get hurt or get lost.

Rosemary: Ash please stop worrying. I will take care of her until you get back and Now go to the castle and we will just take a look at the shops and see what the mushroom kingdom has in store for us.

Felicia: yeah we are just going to be walking around the town and please stop worrying so much I spent the whole day in the forest just fine and now let me do this.

Ash just placed a hand on her cheek and said okay I trust you and I will meet you at the fountain. I might be gone by an hour so come to the fountain in an hour and then when we come back, we will have some real fun. Then he gave her a hug and Felicia said I am looking forward to it, she says as she hugs him back.

Then Pikachu was pulling Ash by his pants telling him that they have to get going. Then they both waved goodbye to each other and then Ash started to walk towards the castle.

Ash agreed and told her not to get into any trouble. Then They went their separate ways. Ash was a little bit unsure about leaving Felicia alone like this because what would happen if she got in trouble and he is not going to be there to help her. Pikachu noticed that his trainer was starting to stress out a little. He turned to look at him and asked

Pikachu: Hey Ash are you alright. You look worried I know that you love her but come on Rosemary will take care of everything.

Ash: oh sorry Pikachu I was a little worried about leaving Felicia alone out there that's all. He says as he was walking through the streets as he was making his way to the castle.

Pikachu: Oh Ash you don't need to worry about her cause as long as she has Rosemary with her I am sure she will be just fine.

Ash: Yeah I am sure that you are right Pikachu and besides what can go wrong. Now come on let's go see how Mario and Peach are doing. They are going to be so happy to see us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~in town with the girls~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ash and Pikachu went to the castle. This left Felicia and Rosemary alone and they were figuring out what they should do for the time being. " So Felicia when the boys are out doing their own thing what do you want to do?" Rosemary asked her. Who was resting on her shoulder? " Will I just want to look around and see what we can find and I also might want to do some shopping too. Felicia told Rosemary. But as they were walking Felicia couldn't stop thinking how familiar the place looked but she can't quite remember where she knew this place from but she knows that she has been here before but she does not know when. Rosemary also started to notice Felicia looking a little bit sad. So she started to ask her " Hey Felicia, are you alright? You seem lost in your thoughts," Rosemary asked her. " Oh sorry, Rosemary it is just that this place is so big and another thing I can't help but think I might be here before but I don't remember when I was here everything looks familiar. But I couldn't be here before because I was locked inside of that castle all of my life. How can this place look familiar to me?

Felicia: wow would you look at this place Rosemary, It is so big but why do I have a strange feeling that I have been here before. She said to Rosemary.

Rosemary: Maybe you saw it in a dream or something I don't know but all I know is that this place does look a lot of fun like look at this place it looks like all of the people are getting ready for the glowing light tonight will Ash did say that the place that he is taking us is suppose to be in this kingdom so I wonder if this kingdom might have something to do with it.

Felicia felt a little better and she agreed with Rosemary and maybe she was right, maybe it was just a dream that she had.

" Maybe you're right Rosemary it could be just a dream that is probably how I know this place, now we got that out of the way let's go see what is going on around here." She says as she starts to look around. As Felicia and Rosemary looked around they came across so many shops and everyone in town was very friendly and was so excited about tonight. The baker even offered Felicia a slice of bread which she took from his hand and ate it and thought it was very good. " Hey young lady, would you like to try my delicious bread? It's a free sample," he said to her. Felicia walked up to the baker and said " thank you so much, yum this bread is really good " She said to the baker that gave her a slice of bread. Then he handed a small piece of bread to the female Pikachu and she thought it was good too. " Will thank you for the slice of bread but we have to get going but thank you," Felicia says as she waved goodbye to the baker. When she left the bakery she saw so many different shops too and she loved every single minute of being out here and the people were just making it even more enjoyable. She even saw a bunch of little kids that were waiting outside the library and she wanted to know what was going on. So She walked over to the Library to take a look for herself and asked " Hey what is going on here it looks like all of you are waiting for someone" asked Felicia. Then the Librarian came out and told her that there was supposed to be a special guest reader that is supposed to read to them but she never showed up and this gave Felicia an idea. " Hey how about I read to them," She said. " Oh thank you so much that will be very helpful and that is so nice of you to do such a thing Said the librarian. Then the Librarian placed Felicia right in front of the girls but as she sat down she noticed that there were only girls there. All of the girls thought she was very pretty just like a princess " Hello everyone my name is Felicia and it is nice to be here and I am here to read you a story. So do any of you girls have a book that you would like me to read to you," asked Felicia. Once the librarian heard her name she couldn't help but wonder if she heard that name somewhere before but she can't remember where she heard it from. So she just ignored it and just continued to watch the little girls listen to Felicia read them a story.

All of the girls were happy for their new reader. It was worth it once Felicia agreed to read to them. All of the girls loved that this lady is reading to them and as she was reading to them all of them seem to really like her. Most of the books that she read to them were mostly fairy tales like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and most stories that have a happy ending. She even let the girl's pet Rosemary and let her react to the roles that were in the books that she was reading to them and they all loved Rosemary as well and they couldn't stop petting her because they haven't seen a female Pikachu before especially one that has a heart shape cheeks. They even gave Rosemary a gift it was a bow and a scarf that they made for her. After Felicia was done reading to them. Then the librarian asked Felicia would she and Rosemary like to go to the town square with them so that they can pray to the lost princess and hope one day that she will return home" The librarian told Felicia. Felicia just said, "we would be happy to join you". Then all of the girls all cheered when they heard that she was coming with them. Some of the girls even hold hands with her. It was very cute. How they just met this girl and now she is like the perfect role model to them. Felicia was also having a great time with the girls as well and she was happy that she agreed to help them.

When all of them got to the town's square all of the girls lined up so that they can pay their respects to the lost princess but when Felicia was watching the girls place their gifts under the portrait she couldn't stop looking at the parents in the picture because for some strange reason they look very familiar to her like she knew them from somewhere but she doesn't know when she met these people. But what caught her eye the most was the baby that the queen was holding. So she turned to the librarian and asked " excuse me but who are those people in the picture" Felicia asked curiously. " oh that is Queen Peach and her husband king Mario. They are the rulers of this kingdom and the baby that is in their arms is their lost daughter. Said the Librarian. " Wow, they must be very heartbroken I wonder what happened to their daughter. I can't help but feel sorry for them. Do you mind telling me what happened to her," Felicia asked? " Oh sure, one night after the birth of the princess she was taken from her parents without a Trace. The moment that they woke up they were horrified to find the baby was gone and ever since that happened Peach and Mario have never stopped looking and hoping tonight or one day the princess will return to her loving parents who miss her terribly. " The librarian finished her story. After Felicia heard the story she felt bad for them and couldn't help but wonder that the baby in the Queen's arms looks a lot like her for some strange reason but it can't be because her father told her that her parents abandoned her years ago.

Felicia walked up to the poster so that she can get a closer look at the baby but before she could. it was time for them to leave cause the last girl just placed her present under the picture and they were going back to the Library. When they got back to the library Felicia decided that she and Rosemary had visited the library long enough and said goodbye to the girls and the librarian. After saying goodbye they decided to continue their walk around the town but she couldn't stop thinking about what the Librarian told her about the missing princess. It has been bothering her ever since she saw that poster in the town's square. Rosemary noticed that Felicia was not happy so she asked her what was wrong with her " hey what's wrong Felicia you look sad what's the matter is there anything I can help you with ? said Rosemary as she nuzzled against Felicia as she was trying to cheer her up.

Felicia snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at the female Pikachu and said " I'm sorry Rosemary I just can't stop thinking about what the librarian told me about the lost princess. I wonder if Ash knows anything about this missing princess. Rosemary didn't know what to say at the moment but she doesn't know why she is thinking about it so much so she decided to take her mind off of something else. Rosemary just nuzzled against Felicia's cheek again trying to cheer her up but nothing seems to be working. She was really deep in thought about this and Rosemary does not even know why it's bothering her so much.

Then Felicia continued talking to Rosemary and said I also have so many questions and they are making my head hurt and I don't know where I'm going to find the answers to these questions. She said to Rosemary As they were walking and talking Rosemary told Felicia not to worry about it cause she is going to be found one day and wherever she is I just hope that she is happy and knows that her parents miss her. Said Rosemary.

Felicia just thanked Rosemary for cheering her up but there is one thing that I want to do before we go to the fountain. I think I should give myself a birthday present and I just want to take a look at that picture again if we have enough time that is. Said Felicia as she was looking at the shops trying to figure out which one she would like to go in.

Rosemary loved that idea and asked so what do you want to buy" she asked. " I don't know if I want to get a new dress so that I can look pretty for tonight and we should get something for the boys too.

Then the girls started to look around for any clothing stores and they found a very nice dress store. When they got in, Felicia found a very beautiful dress that was sleeveless that had roses on it. it also came with a necklace too. After she put it on she felt like a real-life princess. Rosemary thought she looked very pretty in it too.

Rosemary: Hey Felicia let's go to this dress store and see what we can find in here.

When they got in the store Felicia and Rosemary came across different types of dresses but what caught Felicia's eye the most was a blue sleeveless dress that had roses on it and when she put it on. Felicia just twirled around in the dress. " Wow, I feel like a princess in this dress. I think I am going to wear this one for tonight and I am sure Ash will be so impressed and he might not even know that it's me. Felicia says to Rosemary who was staring at Felicia with stars in her eyes cause the dress was very glittery. " wow that's a very pretty dress so is that the one that you want" Rosemary asked.

By the look on Felicia's face, it was a yes. So when they got to register to pay for it they forgot that they don't have any money to pay for the dress. Which the cashier knew and told her not to worry cause since it is the princess's birthday all dresses are free today.

When they got to the register Felicia didn't remember Ash giving her any money, wait did Ash give me any money. Felicia asked nervously " I don't think he did" Rosemary responded." Now, what are we going to do? " Hello young lady I see you want to buy that dress and you don't have to worry about paying for it because all dresses are 20% off because today is the princesses birthday so this dress is on the house and by the way that dress does look really pretty on you. The cash register toad said to them. Once they heard that the dress was free Felicia was so happy to hear that and she couldn't wait for Ash to see her in this dress he is not going to take his eyes off of her.

Felicia and Rosemary were happy to hear that so Felicia just thanked him for helping her and when they walked out she felt like a whole new person. The girl that was once a slave is now an independent woman and she felt like one when she was wearing that dress.

As they walked out of the store right in front of them was the clock tower and they have been in that store for an hour which is when they have to meet Ash and Pikachu at the fountain. They were supposed to meet Ash and Pikachu at the fountain in an hour.

Rosemary: oh no Felicia what time were we supposed to meet the boys.

Felicia: Ash said that they were going to be gone for an hour.

Rosemary: oh no we better go back there now before they start to think that we ditched them as she got off of Felicia's shoulder. But Felicia didn't want to go just yet but Ash did say that they will have much more fun when he and Pikachu get back cuz she wanted to buy something for ash but she realized that she already made a cake for him and her friends so there was no need for her to buy anything else.

We have spent a lot of time with Felicia and Rosemary now let's go to Peach's castle to see how everything is going with Ash and Pikachu to see what happened when he was gone and what is going to happen to Ash when he figures out that Mario and Luigi or out looking for him. Now it looks like Ash has to look for them now too but first, he promised Felicia that he will show her the glowing light and when he takes her home. Then after Ash and Felicia have fun together and after Ash drops her home because Felicia was starting to get worried about her father and he must be worried about her by now. But let's focus on that later right now let's see how Ash and Pikachu are doing in Peaches castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Princess peach's castle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ash and Pikachu got to the entrance of the castle, they couldn't wait to see Mario and Peach. But still, he was unsure what to say to them and what was going to happen when he gets Inside. "Here we are, Pikachu princess peach's castle lets go in," Said Ash. But as he was about to walk in there was a toad that was guarding the castle once he saw Ash he was so happy to see him. " Hey, toad I am here to see Peach and Mario." Ash greeted the toad that was guarding the castle. When the toad saw the boy in front of him he quickly realized him and was happy to see him and said to him " oh my gosh Ash is that you the princess is going to be so happy to see you said the guard as he opened the gates so that Ash can walk in. Then Ash just thanked him for letting him enter the castle and walked up to the front door. As he was walking he couldn't stop thinking about why the toad didn't mention anything about Mario which was very strange and was also starting to worry too and hope that everything is alright with Mario. Pikachu was curious about that too. " Ash did you notice that the toad just mentioned that peach is happy to see us and he didn't say anything about Mario". Pikachu questioned. " yeah I am wondering about that myself but we will figure it out when we see Peach. I bet she will tell us what is going on," Ash said to Pikachu.

When Ash arrived at the front door both of them started to open on their own. The first thing that they saw when they got in was Peach who was sitting on her throne who was getting everything ready for the glowing light ceremony but didn't realize who had entered her throne room. She was on her throne looking at a list of things to do before they grow the golden mushroom. Until She heard someone enter the throne room.

When she saw who was at the door she stopped what she was doing and looked up and saw Ash right in front of her and she was surprised to see him cause she thought that he was dead or lost and thought Mario must have found him by now but she noticed that he was alone and also noticed that Mario was nowhere in sight so it was obvious that he probably got through the forest safe and sound. she was very happy to see Ash but she now worried about Mario and hope that he didn't get hurt or anything.

Peach: Oh right I think I got everything ready for tonight but hopefully this time it will bring my daughter home where she belongs " Said peach as she was checking things off in a big list that was in her hand until she heard a voice. " Hello your highness I am sorry that I am late," Said Ash as he kneeled before her. " ASH IS THAT YOU ALL MY GOSH YOU'RE HERE WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU WE THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD BE LOST IN THAT FOREST FOREVER AND JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL MARIO FIGURES OUT THAT YOU ARE ALIVE HE IS GOING TO BE SO HAPPY I WISH I CAN TELL HIM NOW BUT HE WENT OUT TO LOOK FOR YOU AND PLEASE ASH YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME YOUR HIGHNESS IT'S SO OLD FASHION JUST CALL ME PEACH," Said Peach.

When Ash saw Peach looking at him he walked straight to the throne and just kneeled right in front of her then he started to say that he was sorry for being late and making her and Mario worry about him so much. He also felt bad for making them wait for him for a very long time and he wanted to show Peach that he is ready to take on this mission. " Hi Peach I am sorry that I came here too late I got lost in the forest on my way over here, but I am here now and ready to take on this mission" oh it is alright Ash but I just wish that Mario was here cause he and Luigi went out to look for you. So this year I am going to be planting the golden mushroom this year." Said Peach. " oh that explains why one of your toads told me that Mario was not happy to see me cause he was not here. oh no, I better go look for them do you know where they went''. Ash asked. " I don't know where they are right now but I do know that they were going to a forest that is all I know where they were going. If I were you I would check that forest again just in case they go to that forest. But before you go have you found any signs of my daughter yet". " No, not yet but we will keep on trying to look for her we promise and we will not stop looking until she is found. But now that you are planting the mushroom how is it going with the golden mushroom do you need help planting it and I also wanted to know how you guys were doing that is also the other reason why I came over to see you too and I also wanted to make sure that you guys didn't think I was dead are something. Said Ash. " we are just fine and no I don't need help with the mushroom because I am getting help from Daisy and Toadsworth they are going to help me with it but thank you for asking, but Peach did want to know why he was late in the first place so that was when Ash started to explain why he was late in the first place even though she doesn't care why he is late she is just happy to see him alive but she let him speak cause she was curious about the adventure that he had in the forest especially when he mentioned something about a girl that he found in the forest. " The other reason why I am late is that I got a little distracted along the way Ash explained to her. Then this got Peach curious about the forest Ash went to. So she started to listen to him very carefully and said what happened to you in the forest please tell me about your adventure I really want to know how you found your way out of that forest in the first place" she asked. Then he started to explain to her everything that he did in the forest but when he mentioned that he met a girl Peach started to get very interested. " So you met a girl on your way over here," asked Peach. " Yes I even brought her to the mushroom kingdom cause all of her life she has always wanted to see where the glowing light came from so I am taking her to the lake so that she can see it up close cause she has always seen it threw her bedroom window which is very sad and today is also her birthday as well so I decided to take her to the lake so that she can see it for herself and ever since I met this girl she has made me see things in a whole new way, Said Ash. " wow would you mind telling me more about this girl and how do you feel about her?" asked Peach.

Then Ash got nervous and started to look down at Pikachu which meant can you help me with this. Then Pikachu just pushed Ash towards the throne which made him crash into the floor but he got up and then Pikachu said " Go on loverboy tell her about the maiden that you have fallen in love with" Pikachu said in a whisper so that Peach doesn't hear him so the only one that can hear him was Ash.

Ash took a deep breath and didn't know how to start. Peach can tell that he was getting nervous so she decided to ask the questions first. The first one that she asked do you mind telling me how this girl is like? Ash had no problem answering that question. " Will there is a lot that I can say about her and that is that she is full of surprises and she is so much fun to be with she has the most beautiful laugh and she has a smile that can brighten any dark day". Said Ash. " Oh Ash that is the nicest thing that I ever heard anyone say about someone before and I would like to meet this girl". Said Peach. " oh that will be nice but after the glowing light I have to bring her home cause I promise her friends that I am just going to take her out to see the glowing light and then I will take her home after the golden mushroom is planted then after that is done then I will go find Mario and Luigi.' explained Ash. Peach did feel disappointed that she couldn't meet Ash's new friend but a promise is a promise. " will okay then oh and before I forget here is the award that I promised you since you said you like to be paid upfront" Said Peach as she threw a sack of gold coins at him. But he just looked at the gold and said there is no need to give me all of this money. Thank you but I don't need it" said Ash. Peach was very surprised to hear this because all of the things that she heard about Ash is that he never turns down money and she wanted to know what changed his mind. "Ash are you sure what made you change your mind," she asked him. " I just realize that I don't need a lot of money to make me happy and I feel like I don't deserve this. Please keep your money Peach? but thank you any way he told her.

Pikachu was also surprised to hear this too, Peach can see what is going on with him and that is. He is in love and he is starting to realize what he needs the most and that is someone to love him and that is the best award than any gold coin. " I understand Ash you are listening to what your heart wants, I think that is more important than any gold coin too. I see your time in the forest and the time that you had with this girl has made you change the way that you see things and I really like this new change of heart," said Peach as she walked down from her throne and walked towards Ash and put a hand on his shoulder. " I'm sorry Peach I can't take your money I don't deserve it but thank you anyway," Said Ash. " It is no problem at all if you think what you think is right but I just want you to know that I am proud of you Ash that you have grown to be a bright young man. I just wish that your parents would see it," said Peach. When Peach said something about his parents that was when he started to feel bad and wish that they were here for him. Then Peach realized what she just said and started to say that she was sorry that she didn't mean to bring them up", She said in a concerned voice. " It's fine Peach I am sure that they will be proud of me too and I do miss them so much". He said, " I bet that they miss you too but please take the money cause it is the least we can do for all you have done for us Ash, and I can't just let you go without giving you something I am just going to give you this jewel instead and maybe you can give it to that girl as a forever together present or a birthday present cause after all you did say it was her birthday too," Said Peach as she hands him the jewel that she wears on her dress and hands it to Ash. " oh sure that will be great thank you peach but I think it is time for me and Pikachu to leave cause we don't want to be late to watch the golden mushroom work its magic and I would love to stay and chat but I need to get back to her and I bet you have so much to do before tonight so I am going to make my leave now and one more thing I know that you are going to do a great job on planting that mushroom and I am sure Mario will be proud of you too, I will contact you when I find him and Luigi but it is kinda hard to do since the forest doesn't have any phone service that was why I didn't call you guys this morning. I tried to call you guys but it was not going through. '' Ash said to Peach. '' oh don't worry about that Ash now I know what the reason is I kinda had a feeling that was why you didn't call us to and when you find Mario tell him that I love him and tell him that I wish he was here to help me plant the mushroom with me." Said Peach as she lowed her head down cause she was worried about Mario. Then Ash told her not to worry cause he and Pikachu are going to take care of everything. Then Peach waved goodbye to Ash and went to sit back on her throne and said good luck Ash and we will save you a slice of cake when you and the Mario bros come back.

But then Peach remembered why she wanted to see him in the first place and she wanted to know how the training went. Ash was about to leave the room until Peach called out to him and said, Then Ash heard Peach call his name and stopped leaving and turned around to face her and walked back to the throne and went back to kneeling before her. Before he was about to say anything Peach cut him off and told him what she needed to tell him.

Peach: oh Ash before I forget how did you do with the training that I and Mario gave you. I am sure you did a great job.

Ash: yes me and Pikachu did a very good job on our training and we are ready to take on this mission and we will not let you or Mario down. I wonder if he went to the forest where I got lost in. We should check that forest out after the glowing light. He said to Pikachu who was on the floor waiting to get out of here.

Then Pikachu was getting annoyed with Ash and said "oh right she got it already can we leave already. Ash was not listening because he was too busy talking to Peach to pay attention to Pikachu.

Peach was very happy that Ash has so much courage in her just like Mario does. " When Mario sees you he is going to be so surprised to see you. So now I have to get ready for tonight and thank you for coming to see me, Ash. But she was also very curious about the girl that Ash met So before she was about to go back to her duties she wanted Ash to tell her everything about the girl that he met maybe she might even meet her one day. " oh Ash before you go can you please tell me more about this girl that you met and how is she like I would like to meet her? Then Ash started to blush and got up from kneeling and had a very nervous expression on his face which Pikachu pointed out and said go on lover boy I bet princess peach has some advice that can help you with your little problem." Said Pikachu as he pushed Ash towards the throne " Will like I said she is a maiden that I met in the forest that was locked inside a dark castle in the forest. So I wanted to help her out and this is the first time that she ever left that castle and I been showing her around because it is the least I can do for a very nice, sweet girl and let's not forget she is also very beautiful and it is also her birthday too. I can't stop thinking about her peach every time I think about her my heart starts to beat very fast. Her hair is as brown as chocolate and her eyes or as blue as the sea.

As Ash was talking about how much he loves this girl Peach can tell that Ash is in love with this girl by listening to all of the nice things that he was telling her. " Wow this girl must be very special to you and that is so sweet that you are doing this for that nice girl and I am looking forward to meeting her". Said Peach. " I would love to hear more about this girl Ash but I still have so much stuff that I have to do before I get ready to plant the mushroom. Thank you so much for coming to see me.

Then Ash just stopped talking about Felicia for a second and said he was sorry again and told her that he will look for Mario and Luigi after she grows the golden mushroom and after he brings Felicia home. Then he realizes that he doesn't know which forest they went to, but he thinks that they might have to go back to that forest where they got lost so that they can find Mario and Luigi. But how is he going to find Mario and Luigi now? So he asks Peach oh no did Mario and Luigi tell you where they were going this will give me some help on where to find them. Then Peach turned to look at him and said they told me that they were going to a forest cause you told Mario that you were lost in the woods. So I will think that you should look at every forest in the area or go back to the forest where you got lost just in case they go there. Said Peach. " oh okay I will look at those places later right now I think I better go back to my friend. She is probably wondering where I am so I will talk to you later Peach '' Said Ash as he waved goodbye to her. She also gave him a wave back and said good luck Ash and if you see my daughter tell her that I miss her and so does her father as well " She shouted back at him Then Ash shouted back at her and said, "I will not let you down Peach". Then he left the castle with Pikachu following behind him. After he left Peach went back to work the moment that Ash left the castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~outside of the castle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ash and Pikachu got outside of the castle Pikachu was very mad at him because he didn't tell Peach that he is in love with Felicia and he wanted to know if Peach can give him advice so that Pikachu can use it on Rosemary " Hey what's wrong Pikachu," Ash asked him. " What's wrong I will tell you what's wrong why didn't you tell her that you have feelings for Felicia," Pikachu asked. " Will because like I said to you in the forest I don't want anyone to know just yet cause it will just ruin my reputation and it is embarrassing if anyone knew that I am in love with a girl that I just met in the forest. I knew that the only love of my life is gold and I want to keep it that way and I was nervous okay I never had these feelings before but it is starting to get on my nerves and also it is none of her business how I feel about Felicia in the first place that is between me and you Pikachu only because you are helping me with this and we are dealing with the same problem that is why I didn't tell Peach that I was in love with Felicia but she kinda figured it out from all of the stuff that I been saying about her so I am pretty sure that she knows that I have feelings for Felicia.

Pikachu was not happy with what he heard so what you are saying is that your reputation is more important than your love for Felicia cause you are so worried that the great treasure hunter Ash has found someone to love him not because he is a treasure hunter only because he is a nice young man and it is not embarrassing it is a warm calming feeling and sooner or later you will have to tell Felicia and everyone the truth and I will not tell Rosemary how I feel about her until you tell Felicia how you feel about her.

After listening to Pikachu he realized that he was right that this feeling is not embarrassing; he is just not used to having someone care about him before until his parents died. " I also know why you are doing this Ash is because I know that you are not used to having these emotions, look I don't care that you didn't tell Peach how you feel about Felicia but I think that you should tell Felicia how you feel about her cause you never know she might like you that way as well. " Said Pikachu. Then they both sat on a stool that was right in front of the castle so that they can figure this out but they know that they have to go to the fountain in an hour cause that is what Ash told Felicia to meet him by. So anyway Ash turned to Pikachu and said " I"m sorry Pikachu your right these emotions or not embarrassing and this is new to me that is why I am so scared of telling anyone cause you are the only friend and family that I ever had and I never did anything like this before and what would you think if people thought the great explorer Ash has fallen in love with a maiden that he just met in the forest ." said Ash as he put his head down and cried with Pikachu rubbing his trainer's arms trying to cheer him up.

Pikachu felt like he said too much and just told Ash that he is sorry for upsetting him and he didn't know how he was feeling about this love thing. " I am sorry Ash I just want you to be happy and ever since I saw you with Felicia I have never seen you so happy until the day that your parents died.

Then Ash looked up at Pikachu and said that he was sorry to but he also told him not to mention that day ever. That day was the reason why I love treasure so much and gold and why we are fighting to survive and also the reason why I took on this job of looking for the lost princess in the first place. I thought I told you to never bring it up cause you know how that day gets me upset" Said Ash angry. Pikachu didn't bother to say anything else and just climbed on his trainer's shoulder and said let's go. We should head over to the fountain. I bet Felicia and Rosemary are probably waiting for us. Said Pikachu trying to be very careful to not make Ash even more upset than he already is. " Oh sure we can do that but before we do I need a moment to collect myself first. You know what Pikachu you go to the fountain and I will catch up" Ash told Pikachu. Pikachu thought it was a great idea because he needed time to himself to clear his mind so he just climbed down from Ash's shoulder and said okay I will meet you at the fountain: Said Pikachu as he ran in the direction that headed straight to the fountain. Now that Ash was alone he went to go for a walk around the town but as he was walking he saw so many families hugging or playing with their children which started to get him upset every time he walked past them. He had a lot on his mind, especially what Pikachu said about the day that his life was changed forever. Then all of sudden when he was lost in his thoughts he saw a flying ball that was being thrown at him but he caught it in his hands then he turned to a group of young boys who were playing catch with each other. " Hey mister would you mind throwing me that ball please," Said the boy. " Oh sorry here you go guys," he says as he throws the ball up in the air so that they can catch it then he went to go find a nice place where he can watch them and he was loving what he was watching the happy children play with each other. " hum those kids seem to be having fun," he says as he was looking at the kids.

The kids noticed that he was staring at them and asked would you like to play with us one of the kids asked him. He knew he just got caught and said he was sorry I would love to but I can't it just reminds me of my past that's all, Sorry for spying he said to the kids and they said that it was fine, and just went back to playing with each other. Ash got up and continued his walk through the town. He spotted a clock and noticed that it has been an hour so he started to head back to the fountain so that he can meet up with the others and so that they can spend the rest of the day together before they head over to the lake.

He also couldn't wait to hear about all of the amazing things that the girls did when he and Pikachu were at the castle. when he and Pikachu were at the castle and hoped that Felicia was having a great time in the village.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the kingdom Ash ran over to Pikachu who was almost at the fountain but they didn't see Felicia or Rosemary there. So when Ash caught up to Pikachu he started to say that he was sorry for being so hard on him and he is right he should tell Felicia how he feels about her but he is just waiting for the right moment to do it. After hearing Ash saying that he was sorry he accepts his apology and just takes his spot on Ash's shoulder. " Now that we got that out of the way let's go see what our future girlfriends are up to" Said Ash as he was heading towards the fountain but when he got there Felicia and Rosemary were not there. Cause they showed up 2 minutes late which they didn't mind because as long as she was safe and didn't do anything dangerous then Ash is okay. Ash walked over to Felicia and asked " Hey did you have fun walking around the kingdom today " He asked her. " oh yes it was a lot of fun and I have something that I want to show you but you will have to wait until tonight if you want to see it" Said Felicia as she gave Rosemary a wink. " will okay then I can wait until then is it the same surprise from before if you know what I mean" he whispered into her ear so that the Pikachu won't hear them. " No it is a little bit different it was something that I and Rosemary got when you two were at the castle," She said. "Well okay then so what do you want to do? But before Felicia was about to answer she saw a band playing in the town square and started to play music. When the music started to play then all of the townspeople started to dance to the music. Which gave Felicia an idea as she was looking at the people that were dancing and then she turned back to look at Ash. So she just grabbed him by the arm without saying anything. " Hey where are we going," he asked until they arrived at the town square and saw everyone dancing. Once he saw everyone dancing he thought about what Felicia wanted to do and he was not happy with it. She wanted to dance with him. This caused his face to turn red when he realizes what Felicia wanted to do and that was she wanted to dance with him. which is a problem because he doesn't like dancing.

Then he knew what Felicia wanted to do and he was not really into dancing. So he turned to her and said " I'm sorry Felicia I don't dance" Said Ash but before Felicia was about to say anything that could change his mind Pikachu jumped in front of them and said. " oh come on Ash have some fun once in your life'' Pikachu says as he pushed him towards the crowd and bumps into a village lady once the lady saw him she stared at him and started to dance with him. Then she grabbed him by the arm and started dancing with each other. Ash was trying to break free from the women's grip but she was too strong. When he saw Pikachu on the sidelines he was laughing at him which caused Ash to glare at Pikachu. After what Pikachu did Felicia started to laugh too but she stopped laughing when a nice gentleman saw her and asked her politely if she would like to dance with him and she happily accepted it. " Hello young lady, what is a beautiful girl like you hanging out by herself? It is not nice to leave a lady by herself. Would you like to dance with me beautiful lady." said the man as he bows to her. " yes I would love to dance with you. " she says as she takes his hand and then she started to dance with the young man too. After the trainers were dancing with the opposite partner the Pikachu decided to get in on the fun too. So Pikachu walked up to Rosemary and asked " Hey Rosemary would you like to dance with me?" asked Pikachu. Rosemary started blushing and got nervous and said I would love to dance with you Pikachu but I don't know how to dance. she pointed out.

Pikachu: Oh don't worry Rosemary I can teach you it is really easy. Then Pikachu took Rosemary's hand then both of them started to dance with each other. After stepping on Pikachu's feet a couple of times, Rosemary got the hang of dancing after she failed a few times, but she does know that practice makes perfect. Even she keeps on stepping on Pikachu's feet which he didn't mind by the way because he knows this is her first dance so he decided to go easy on her since this was her first dancing lesson but he was proud of her that she didn't give up. Rosemary turned to look up at Pikachu and said " thank you so much for helping me and I am sorry for stepping on your feet multiple times" she said with concern. " oh it is no problem I love helping others and all that matters is we have fun. Just so you know Ash is not a good dancer either. I sorta feel bad for the lady I can only imagine how many times that he must have stepped on her feet." He says as he looked at Ash who was dancing with another girl this time who was trying hard not to embarrass himself in front of her. When Pikachu saw Ash dancing he started to laugh at him.

After many hours of dancing with other people, it was time for Felicia and Ash to share a dance. Once they realized they were in each other's arms they just blushed and started to waltz around the square. Everyone couldn't help but watch them. Ash may not like dancing with the other girls but dancing with Felicia was very different and Felicia also felt the same way too. As they were dancing they couldn't stop staring into each other's eyes. Ash saw her eyes glowing like stars and Felicia couldn't stop staring into his chocolate brown eyes either, they both felt like they were flying and they were the only ones on earth.

Once Felicia was done dancing with another man she started to twirl around the square but that was until she crashed into Ash as she was twirling and not watching what she was doing. Once Ash realized someone crashed into him he was about to say something until he realized who it was. Ash laughed and politely and said " guess this means that we have to dance now he says as he took Felicia's hand in his and then they started to dance together. Then Felicia leaned into his chest as they waltz around the square together. Everyone that was dancing before stopped what they were doing and just watched the happy couple dance peacefully around the square. Everyone thought they looked so cute together that nothing in the world couldn't come between them, not even Felicia's evil father can't separate these two from each other. Then as they were dancing Ash decided to talk to her about what she did during her time in the village. " So Felicia how are you liking it here so far it is different from that castle isn't it?" he asked her as he spun her around in a twirl. " Yeah, it is a lot different. Thank you so much for doing this for me. Felicia said as she stared into his eyes and took a deep breath because she was getting thoughts about the missing princess again. Ash saw that Felicia was worried about something once he heard her take a deep breath. " Hey is something wrong what's the matter?' he asked her. " I'm sorry Ash I was just thinking about what happened earlier. You see when you were at the castle with Pikachu. I and Rosemary went to the library so we could read to the kids which happen to only have girls and they asked us to come down here with them. Felicia was cut off once she saw what was right behind her which was the picture of Mario and Peach holding their baby in their arms it was the same picture that she saw before when she saw it she walked up to it and started to finish her story and " then the librarian told me the story of the lost princess and I can't stop worrying about what happened to her and I can't stop thinking that the people in the picture look very familiar to me like I met them somewhere before" Felicia explained to him. After Felicia was done talking Ash came up to her and said you don't need to worry about the missing princess cause right now let's just finish this dance which got Felicia and Pikachu surprised cause earlier he was not in the mood for dancing and now everything changes when he is dancing with Felicia.

" Wow Ash I thought you don't dance what made you change your mind," asked Felicia. " you are the one that made me change my mind about dancing and now all I want to do is share a dance with you and I want to dance with you all night Felicia so can we continue this dance and by the way you are a very great dancer and then after the dance, I think we should start to head over to the lake so you can see how beautiful the light is up close and you are going to love it Felicia and you will not be disappointed I promise. Then the Pikachu came to dance right next to them and then pointed out and reminded them. Also do not forget our surprise too which we have been waiting for very patiently for a long time. '' Said Pikachu. " oh yes we wouldn't want to forget about that would we; Ash says as he gave Felicia a wink and Felicia just laughed a little and thought it was very cute". " I also have a surprise for you too, my favorite dance partner," said Felicia. " Maybe I can be more than just your dance partner Ash said in a whisper so that the only one that could hear him was Pikachu but Felicia saw him whisper something in Pikachu's ear and said are you guys okay and what did you say Ash. '' she asked. " oh nothing I was telling Pikachu what a great dancer he was. Now come on let's do this dance. Then he took a deep bow and offered his hand and walked into the middle of the square as they did Felicia could not stop staring at the picture of Mario and Peach. While they dance Ash was also having some thoughts of his own and they were mostly questions about Felicia and there is one question that he has been dying to know since he met her and that he wanted to know what happened to her real parents and how did she end up in that dark castle in the first place. He also had some thoughts of his parents as well. On how much his missing them so much but ever since he met Felicia he starting to feel love again and yes he still loves treasure hunting as a hobby but he just doesn't care about that stuff anymore and he learned that love is something that you don't earn and it is something that you experience that is what he has learned from this whole Adventure. Anyways when they were dancing with each other as the sun went down Ash couldn't stop staring at Felicia's beautiful blue eyes and said " Wow Felicia you are such a great dancer" Said Ash as he spun her around. " You are not a bad dancer either and thank you for everything," said Felicia as she hugged him. " oh you don't need to thank me yet the night is not over yet we still have a whole lot of stuff to do before we go to the lake." Said Ash. After he said that then everyone decided to get ready for tonight which meant Ash and Felicia can have a little time to themselves before they head over to the lake. So When everyone left the square Ash decided to take her somewhere that was right next to the lake. When the Pikachu noticed that their trainers were leaving the square they ran up to so that they can catch up to them. After Ash and Felicia decided to leave the square they started to take a walk around the kingdom but along the way, they noticed that there was a fair in the honor of the princess's birthday. So they decided to have a little fun at the fair. At the fair, there were so many fun things to do there were games, food, shows, and shops. Ash decided that they should have some fun before they head over to the lake. After a while of catching up to them, the Pikachu finally caught up to the couple when they saw that they were at the fair they couldn't wait to have some fun. " Woah this place looks a lot of fun what do you think Rosemary." asked Pikachu. " I am thinking that you are right Pikachu this place does look a lot of fun and not to mention there is a lot of food too. So what should we do first but should we stay together or should we just hang out just the two of us". Pikachu wanted to be alone with Rosemary like they were on a date and this will give Ash the chance to be alone with Felicia so he ran up to Ash and told him that he is going to have some fun with Rosemary and this will give you the chance to get to know Felicia more". Said Pikachu as he ran over to him. Ash was okay with Pikachu going to the fair by himself with Rosemary. but he told him that he has to stay in a place where he can see him. He likes that idea and what a better place to know someone than at a fair. " Ok, Pikachu you and Rosemary can have fun on your own but make sure you stay in a place where I can see you okay cause I don't want you to get hurt." Ash explained to Pikachu. " Okay Ash and this will give you some alone time with Felicia, we will just be hanging out at the pokemon park and maybe get a snack." he said. Ash just said okay and have fun and then the Pikachu went off to the fair so that they can have some fun. This leaves him alone with Felicia so he decided that they should try some of the games and maybe get a bite to eat as well. When Ash and Felicia were taking a walk around the fair to see what they could do.

As they were walking Felicia wanted to know what happened when he and Pikachu were at the castle. Ash also wanted to know what did she do in the village when he and Pikachu were at the castle. " So Ash was everything alright over at the castle," Felicia asked him. " oh yeah everything was fine I had to go over there cause I promised the princess that lives there that I will look for her lost daughter. He explained to her. Which got Felicia sad because it seems that this princess has put a lot of hurt on everyone in this kingdom and now she is starting to worry about her as well and she wanted to know what happened to her. "I am so happy that you mentioned that Ash because someone told me about that princess today. You see when you went to the castle with Pikachu. I and Rosemary went to the library because the reader that was supposed to read to them never showed up so I decided to read to them which they were very happy about by the way. After I was done reading to them. They invited us to go to the town square with them because they wanted to pay their respects to the lost princess and the librarian told me her story and how she was taken from her parents when they were sleeping which was terrible ". Felicia told Ash. " yeah it left the whole kingdom heartbroken but hopefully tonight our luck may change. The parents of the princess happen to be very close friends of mine that was why I wanted to help them but you don't need to worry about the missing princess cause I am sure that she will be found someday and I bet that she misses her family to wherever she is. " Ash told her. " wow that is very nice of you to do that I bet the parents must miss her terribly does anyone even have a clue what happened to her." Said Felicia. " well all we know was that she was taken when the parents were asleep and whatever took her didn't leave a clue or anything the only thing that they left was the crib was empty. The other thing that we know is that she must have been kidnapped and probably being held hostage somewhere and it is my job to find her and bring her home safely. " Said, Ash. " Will thank you for telling me about this princess Felicia but right now let's play some of these games and have some fun while we are here. " Said, Ash. Felicia agreed with playing the games with Ash but she still has the lost princess on her mind still. She does not even know why it is bothering her so much. But she decided to distract herself by playing some of the games that were in the fair that will hopefully get her mind off of the lost princess. She just needs to focus on having fun with Ash let it not spoil her birthday and her time outside of the castle for the first time.

After Ash and Felicia stopped talking about the missing princess they went deep into the fair so that they can play the games but there was something seems to be bothering Felicia and that is the missing princess and how her parents or feeling about their missing daughter and she can't help but think that she might have seen them somewhere before but that is in possible and she is also having thoughts about the kingdom as well cause it looks familiar to her as well. How are all of these places and people look so familiar to her she never met these people or been here how is this possible. So anyway they went to one of the games of the fair and Ash wanted to win Felicia something so he played a game where you have to throw a ring around the fish's mouth. For a couple of tries, Ash kept on missing so he decided to have Felicia try it out. So she took the ring from him and threw it on one of the fish heads. She kept on missing too but after a few tries she got the hang of it and she did a much better job than Ash did which he was jealous that Felicia beat him. " Wow, that was fun what happens next she asked. Then you get to pick a prize the man that was in charge of the game said. The prize that she picked was a stuffed mushroom toy that came with a necklace that had a mushroom charm on it after she got her prize Ash helped her with the necklace by putting it behind her neck. " There that necklace looks very beautiful on you it makes you even more beautiful than you already are. ," said Ash after he placed the necklace around her neck and then he asked what else do you want to do. We can play another game or have a snack or look at the shops. " Ash said. " Whatever you want to do this is my first time here but I would love to get something to eat and I don't know if I can wait until tonight to get our cake. That is really what they did after they were done eating. They didn't get a meal, they just got some popcorn and they shared with each other. But Ash thought the popcorn was not enough so he went to go buy something else for them to eat. So after they got some dinner they went back on playing more of the games and they also watched s some of the shows as well. Felicia was having a great time at the fair but she was even happier that Ash knew more about the missing princess especially that he happens to be friends with her parents. But she can't help but wonder what happened to her. It has been bothering her ever since she came to the kingdom. The other thing that is bothering her is that she also has the same birthday as the lost princess too. So meanwhile after Ash and Felicia had their fun together they decided to go back to the Pokemon park to see how the Pikachu was doing over at the pokemon park and it was almost time for the glowing light to start and he wanted to show Felicia the lake before it starts. After Ash and Felicia met up with the pokemon Felicia wanted to go shopping first. But he didn't want to go shopping because he was not really into shopping but since it was her birthday he didn't complain but he just told her that we can go shopping just for a little bit cause I don't want you to miss this place and trust me it will blow your mind away when you see it " Ash said to her. As they walked into town to do a little shopping Ash decided that he should give her a birthday present too. So they stopped at a jewelry store that Ash wanted to check out just to see if he can find something in there that he can use as a birthday present that he can give to Felicia. So when he got in he saw the most beautiful necklace that will be perfect for Felicia to wear around her neck The necklace had two heart charms on it and he wanted to give Felicia as a birthday present. The man at the corner noticed Ash was looking at the necklace and asked " Will hello sir I see that you are interested in this necklace" he says as he takes it out so that Ash can have a better look at it. Then he took out the jewel that Peach gave him when he was at the castle. " this is the perfect gift for anyone that is very special to you and that makes you feel loved. Trust me I even gave this to my wife and I have never seen her without it so go on son I bet you want to give it to that pretty girl over there that you came in with" Said the toad." oh Sorry yeah did you say that it is the perfect gift for someone that you love ". Ash asked him. "oh yes and it will be even more beautiful with that jewel that you brought with you." Said the man as he hands Ash the necklace. " oh one more thing you don't have to pay for it either everything is free today due to the princesses birthday. " oh thank you so much I will take it but would you mind wrapping it's supposed to be a birthday present". Asked Ash. "oh of course just give me a second, I just need to go in the back so I can wrap it up in a necklace case," said the man then he went into the back of the store so he can get him a box as he was getting the box Ash turned around and saw Felicia having fun with the Pikachu and the kids that were outside of the store. He was very happy that he decided to do this for her. So after the man came back from wrapping the necklace in a box. Ash took it out of the man's hand and said thank you and goodbye and the man just waved at him and wished him luck and told him that he is sure that girl is going to love that necklace. Said the man as he waved back to him. When Ash was gone from earshot. The man took a picture out of his pocket and look at it lovely. It was a picture of him and his wife. The way that Ash feels for Felicia is how he feels about his wife too and that is probably how Mario feels about Peach too and thought maybe he should make one for the king when he comes back from his trip. So Anyway after Ash left the store he saw Felicia looking around when she saw him she ran up to him and gave him a hug and noticed that he bought something but she didn't bother to ask him cause she thought it could be a surprise so she didn't bother to ask him and wait until they get to the lake. After their hug, Ash asked her if she had a fun day and she said that she did have a great time today. It was the best day of her life and she couldn't wait until tonight. So on their way back to the pokemon park Ash and Felicia had been talking for hours and they seem to really fall in love even more. Ash has been telling her all of the adventures that he has gone on with Pikachu and how some of them were unbelievable. They also had a little laugh along the way as well. But they stopped once they got to the pokemon park which was where the Pikachu was playing with the other pokemon or the other creatures that are not pokemon.

So When Ash and Felicia got to the Pokemon park they were so happy to see their Pikachu playing with each other. So they decided to sit on a bench and watch their Pikachu play with each other. Until it was almost time for the glowing light to start and it was getting late too. So Ash decided to call the Pikachu and told them that they have to go now. When the Pikachu saw their trainers they just ran up to them and gave them a big hug and started to leave the square and asked them if they had a good time and they said yes. After they left the town and the fair Ash and Pikachu took Felicia and Rosemary to a very beautiful garden that had a beautiful lake that had an amazing view of Princess Peach's castle. Then they agreed that they had enough of the fair for today so Ash and Pikachu decided to take the girls to their hidden secret lake where they would like to get away from their problems and where they need a day to relax. But we will find that out in the next chapter right now; let's head back to the castle to see how Peach is doing with getting everything ready for tonight. Will, there is so much that peach needs to do before tonight she has to get the castle decorated and make the food and everything else. She also needs to find the perfect place where she can plant the mushroom. She also has to look for the perfect dress for tonight's activities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at Peach's castle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

from all of the fun that is going on outside of the castle let's go see how everyone is doing inside of the castle. So Inside princess peach's castle, everyone was getting ready for the celebration but no one was more focused on getting everything ready for the party together has been Peach she has been working all day and didn't have any time to rest which was starting to worry Daisy and Toadsworth cause they were trying their hardest to help Peach get ready to. but she was freaking out about all of the stuff that needs to be done cause she wanted everything to be perfect for tonight and was so worried that everything is not going to be as she wanted to be. Daisy didn't like how much stress that this party has put on her friend. She has been watching Peach run around the castle and working like a crazy person all day. So she had enough and walked up to her and said " Peach you got to pull yourself together we know how bad you want this to work but freaking out is not going to help us at all" Said Daisy as she was trying to calm her friend down. After listening to Daisy Peach took a couple of deep breaths so that she can calm herself down and knew that she was right freaking out is not going to get the preparations for the ceremony finished So after she pulled herself together she turned back to Daisy and said " thank you Daisy and I am sorry I just want this night everything to be perfect and I don't want anything to go wrong tonight. I just want to impress everyone that I can plant the golden mushroom perfectly and I am just nervous that's all cause this is my first time doing this and I just don't want to mess everything up and I have prayed every night that I will find my little girl one of these days or she will find her way back home to her loving parents. I just wish that tonight will be the night that everything me and Mario have lost would finally be in our arms again. I have been dreaming about her ever since she was taken and I just hope that wherever she is safe and that she is alright. I also want her to know that her parents miss her very much. After listening to Peach Daisy knew how she felt and she felt bad for her so she walked beside her and put a hand on her shoulder. When Peach saw Daisy she had tears in her eyes as well. " I'm sorry Peach I know I really want tonight to be the night that my niece comes home too we just need to keep our heads up and everything will go exactly as we plan." Said Daisy as she gave Peach a hug which she returned a hug. After the princesses shared a hug they realize that they still have a lot of work that needs to be done so Peach decided to go check up on toad to see how dinner is going and Daisy went into one of the dress rooms so that she can pick out the perfect dress that she will wear tonight and she is also thinking that she should pick out a dress for Peach too since she is going to be busy with the food and she is not happy right now she decided to do something nice for her friend.

finally, after the princesses were done with their hug they decided to go back to work. So Peach walked back inside and went down to the dining room so that she can see how everything is ready for dinner. " Hey toad is everything ready for dinner and don't forget to leave room for dessert," Said Peach. " oh yes everything is ready for dinner and everything is just the way you like it and we did exactly as you said your highness but I didn't get the dessert ready but I will get on it right away, Said Toad as he was about to run straight into the kitchen until Peach stopped him from leaving and told him that she is going to make the cake even though she has not baked in a very long time she has not baked ever since she was young. She wanted to do something to get her mind off of her missing daughter so she thought that she should be the one to make the dessert. '' Oh, you don't have to make the dessert Toad because I am already making the dessert I am making one of my giant cakes that should be enough to share with everyone in the kingdom, and maybe Felicia will be able to see it wherever she is.

Toad was happy that Peach wanted to make the dessert, especially that she wanted to bake a cake again like she used to do. That is one of the things that she loves to do in the whole wide world except for hanging out with Mario and playing sports. " oh okay princess I know that you will make the best cake that the whole kingdom has ever seen" said toad okay thank you peach and this will give me enough time to finish getting the dining room ready for dinner. " Oh thank you very much toad and we can have a piece of my giant cake after all of our hard work is done but remember we have to save a piece for Mario, Luigi, Ash, and his friend. '' oh I hope that they are okay oh Mario wherever you are I just want to let you know that I love you and I am doing everything I can to get this celebration perfect she says as she looked out the window that was in the dining room as she was walking to the kitchen so that she can finish making the cake.

Meanwhile when Peach was done baking her cake Daisy was busy too getting herself ready as well she went to the dressing room so that she can find the perfect dress that Luigi will love and that will be perfect for the event and she also thought that she should pick a dress for Peach as well since she is going to be busy all day getting everything ready for tonight she decided to do something nice for her friend. But the problem is there are so many dresses to choose from and all of them were just perfect but Daisy just has to think about what would Peach like. She knows that she will wear anything that is pink so she decided to look for dresses that are pink but it can not be just any old pink dress it has to be the perfect pink dress that is the kind of dress that Daisy is hoping to look for her friend. After a long time of searching Daisy found the perfect dress for her and peach. " oh my gosh after all of my time coming to this castle it seems that Peach seems to be buying more dresses every time I come here., I don't know if I should get a dress for her too because she is going to be so busy that she isn't going to have enough time to look for a dress for herself But if I were peach what kind of dress should I get she will mostly get something that's pink and for me, I am tired of wearing the same old thing I want to wear something different so let's see" Said Daisy, as she was searching, threw the closet looking for any dresses that will be perfect for her and Peach but mostly for herself the most. As Daisy was looking for the perfect party dress for herself and for Peach.

back in the kitchen Peach was just about done making her cake and this has to be the biggest cake that anyone has ever seen and it was so big in fact that it couldn't fit inside of the castle and she was not kidding about how big it was that she is planning to share this cake with everyone in the mushroom kingdom but no one is allowed to eat the cake until the glowing light ceremony is finished, but Peach was not the only one that was in the kitchen with her. Toad was also helping her too and he was so surprised that Peach can bake a cake that is this big and he knew that this has to be the biggest cake that anyone has ever seen not just in the mushroom kingdom but everyone in general. " Wow Princess you have outdone yourself and you were not kidding about the cake was going to be a giant. So what kind of cake is it? Toad asked her. Oh thank you toad it took me a very long time to make it but we still have a whole lot to do before tonight and the cake that I made is a strawberry and vanilla cake " Said Peach. " I know but can we have dinner first? I am really hungry". Toad complained. " oh sure then after dinner I need someone to help me to carry the cake to the backside of the garden and I want the balcony to be decorated after we have dinner as well. " Said Peach as she left the kitchen and was about to head down to the dining room so that she can have dinner with Toad before she could get the rest of the stuff ready, but as she was walking she started to feel a little nervous. " Hey princess what's wrong?" Toad asked. " Oh, Toad I just hope I can do this. I never planted the golden mushroom before and I just hope that I know what I am doing and I don't want to mess up and let's not forget everyone is counting on me and I don't want to disappoint anyone and I hope that this year this will be the year that Felicia come back home to her loving mother and father. I" Said Peach with her head down. " Don't worry Princess I know that you can do it and how hard can it be to plant a mushroom and after all, I am going to be there to help you plant it anyway. if Felicia was here she wouldn't want her mother to freak out like this. That is what Felicia would have wanted it and she would not want her mom to give up on her and I am sure Mario was here he would tell you the same thing too. You just have to believe in yourself. I know that you can do it Peach you just to keep on believing and praying that sooner or later Felicia will come home" Said Toad. After listening to Toad she started to feel a lot better about planting the mushroom now and just said Thank you so much for cheering me up toad now I feel more than ready to get this party started and I couldn't get this party together if it wasn't for you and Daisy helping me it really does mean a lot to me but now I am getting hungry myself so come on Toad let's go have dinner and the faster we eat the faster we can get back to work but first I think we should ask if Daisy would like to join us." Peach asked. Then Toad agreed then they all went to the dressing room and when they got there they noticed that the dressing room was a mess there were dresses all over the place. " Oh no Daisy what did you do to the dressing room?" Peach said. Then Daisy popped her head from the pile of dresses that were on the floor and said oh Peach I didn't hear you come in I was looking for the perfect dress for us to wear tonight cause I am tired of wearing the same outfit all the time and I knew that you were going to be busy getting everything ready for tonight so I decided to look for the perfect dress for you peach." Said Daisy as she climbed out of the pile of dresses that were on top of her and made her way towards Peach and Toad who was shocked at how messy the dressing room was. But no one was more shocked about the dresses being all over the place than Toad was cause now he has to be the one to clean it up now and he has no time to pick up all of these dresses cause he has to help Peach with the mushroom.

After Daisy got out of the pile of dresses and walked towards Peach, Peach was very grateful that her friend would do that for her but she already picked out a dress. " oh Daisy that was very nice of you but you didn't need to do that because I already picked out the dress that I am going to be wearing tonight I should have told you earlier" said Peach. The Daisy and toad were very curious about the dress that she picked and she wanted to see it. " Really when did you have time to pick out a dress you have been busy all day," Asked Daisy. " Yeah I know it is a dress that I found in my closet if you come in my room I will show you" Said Peach as she told Daisy and Toad to follow her into her room. When they got to Peach's room. Peach went to her closet and started to open the double doors. But when they got their Toad was starting to get hungry but no one was paying attention to him because daisy was too focused on the dress that Peach wanted to show her so he will tell them after Peach shows them the dress cause he also wanted to know what she was going to wear too. So anyway when Peach opens the closet she took out a very beautiful pink dress that is planing to wear tonight's activities. When Peach showed Daisy and Toad the dress Daisy loved the dress and thought that she looked very pretty in it and she also wanted to know where she got it from cause she would like a dress like that too. But Toad was not that interested because he was too hungry to care about some dress but the dress does look pretty. " oh my gosh Peach that dress is going to look so good on you. You should wear it to dinner to see how everyone else thinks" Said Daisy. " oh thank you, Daisy, what do you think Toad do you like my dress" Said Peach as she and Daisy turned to look at Toad who didn't care at the moment but he just said that you should wear that dress to dinner Peach and it's great can we go eat now I am hungry" Said Toad to the girls. Peach was unsure about wearing the dress to dinner so she just told Toad that he can meet her and Daisy and they will come down when they are ready." Said Peach. The moment that Peach said that we will meet you at the dining room Toad just ran out of the door and headed straight to the dining room. When Toad left Daisy couldn't stop staring at the dress and she wanted to have a dress just like that one. " So where did you get a dress like that I would love to wear one of those dresses for tonight's event she asked Peach.

But instead of telling her how she got it, she decided to show her how she got it instead cause it will be much easier that way if she did that. " Daisy you have been coming to this castle ever since I first met you and there is something that I wanted to show you for such a long time." Peach said as she held out her hand so that she can help her friend to get into the closet. when they got in Peach's closet they were surrounded by different types of styles and colors of dresses that would be perfect for any special event. " this is my event dress closet the dresses that I wear on special events are usually in this closet. Daisy, I have been thinking since you are my best friend and you have helped with my stress so I was wondering if you would like to pick one of these dresses for tonight's event. Peach asked Daisy as she held the door open so that she can let Daisy walk into the closet and she was lost for words on how big the closet was. Daisy felt like she was in a dream and just completely ignored Peach because she was amazed by all of the dresses that she saw it was like a faint dress store in a closet and also there were not just dresses there were also different types of jewelry and shoes as well. " oh my goodness Peach you have to let me try one on all of these dresses are a lot nicer than the ones that are in the other room. Then she ran over to a yellow dress that she picked and said that she wanted to wear that one. Peach said that will look perfect on her. Then Daisy went into the dressing room to try on the dress and when she came out she loved how it felt on her. she felt like a whole new person and a whole new princess as well. When Daisy came out of the dressing room Peach was so amazed at how the dressed looked on her. " wow Daisy that dress looks like it was made for you and I think you should wear it for dinner tonight so you can show it to everyone else and see what they think of the dress and this is also the dress that I will be wearing for dinner." Said Peach as she grabbed the pink dress that she was showing Daisy and Toad before. Once Peach said something about dinner Daisy didn't want to wear something this beautiful to dinner cause she was scared that she will ruin it by dropping some food on it or if a drink fell on it. After all, it was a nice dress so she will put it on after everyone is done eating when it is time for Peach to plant the golden mushroom.

" Oh, Peach I think that we should eat first and then we should wear them cause like you said these dresses or very beautiful and I don't want to get food on them and that is just not me" So you can do whatever you want but I am not wearing my new dress to dinner. I will put it on after dinner and when I help you plant the mushroom. Said Daisy as she put the dress back on the hanger and saved it for later. After she put it back on the hanger she went to join Peach as they were walking to the dining room when they got there all of them were all ready for dinner but before they could start eating Peach wanted to thank everyone for supporting her during this hard time and she wanted to tell them how grateful that she has so many people that are looking after her and Mario during this very hard day. " excuse me, everyone I have something that I need to say to all of you, Then everyone stopped what they were doing and just looked at Peach waiting for her to speak. " I just want to say thank you all for joining me and Mario on this very hard day and if he was here right now he will say the same thing too. So I just want to say that today is the hardest day for us cause this is my daughters birthday but if we keep our hopes up maybe she will come home tonight I just know that she is out there somewhere and wherever she is I just want to make sure that she is safe and happy and I will do anything to see her grown into a beautiful young lady that I hope that she will become one day. Since tonight is the first time that I will be planting the mushroom I just want to say thank you all for your support it does mean a lot to me and to show you how thankful I am I haven't done this in a while so I decided to make one of my famous cakes which is just outside but let's eat our dinner first and then we can go outside and take a look of the cake that I made. That is all I have to say for now. Now, let's start eating. " Said Peach as she stopped talking and when the princess stopped talking all of them started to eat their dinner and they couldn't wait to see the cake that Peach made but they didn't want to rush so they took their time even though they were way too excited about the cake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outside of the mushroom kingdom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now we know what is going on in the mushroom kingdom lets go see if Kamek turned back into a rat and see what he is planning for Ash and Felicia. So meanwhile outside of the mushroom kingdom in a forest, Kamek has been trying all of the spells that he knows will turn him back into a wizard but the spells that he has been using were not working so he decided to find a different spell that can work so he took out a spellbook and he had to look int it quicky and he also has to turn into a wizard fast too Because he needs to find Felicia so that he can find a way to make her come home which is going to be very hard to do since Ash is always with her and he is probably never going to leave her alone now. so he has to come up with a plan to rid him of him and he has something that can help him with that. So anyway he also in a hurry cause he is sure that Bowser will be calling him soon to see how everything is going and he didn't want the boss to see him as a rat. " I don't understand why none of my spells are working maybe there is another spell I can use to turn myself back into a wizard," Said Kamek as he grabbed a spellbook out of his pocketed and started to search for a spell that can turn him back into a wizard again and as he was searching he was also thinking of a plan to try to get rid of that treasure hunter and he has just the plan to do and it is an offer that no treasure hunter can't resist and he is going to make sure of it and this is going to be a way to prove that he was right about Ash all this time that he is only here for the money and he does not care about Felicia what to so ever, That might be the only way that Felicia will come home and prove to her that Ash is nothing but a liar . " once I turn back to normal those brats are going to wish that they escaped from me and they will pay for what they have done to me," Said Kamek as he was searching through the pages. Finally, after a long time of searching through the book, he found the spell that can work " oh here is a page for reducing the spell. " When I do get back to normal fast and I have a feeling that they are at the mushroom kingdom that is probably where they are I have to make a spell that will make sure that no one sees us especially Peach. So After I find the spell that can turn me back to normal I should find a spell that will turn me and my troops invisible so that no one can see us from the mushroom kingdom When he got to the page that said how to redo spells he found a bottle that he can drink and that is what he did after he drank the bottle Kamek started to turn back to normal. When he was a wizard again he made sure that he is never going to turn anyone into a rat again. " great now I am back to normal I can find those brats and I have to try to convince Felicia to come home and I got just the plan to do it because first I need to find a way to get that boy away from her because I know that he will do anything to protect her, But I also think I am going to need some help with this mission" Said Kamek as he grabbed something from his pocket it was a whistle to call the Koopa Troopa's over to him and when he blows into it they showed up the moment that he blew it and they were standing right in front of him as they were waiting for their orders.

Then Kamek started to tell his plan to the troops and they understood the plan perfectly and they will attack the kids when they are alone but they have to do it without anyone from the mushroom kingdom seeing them. Then Kamek told them to come closer to him so that he can tell them what he needs them to do for him. " okay this is what we are going to do" he says as the troops came closer to him so that they can hear him clearly. " This is what I am thinking when Felicia is alone with the boy that will be the perfect time for us to come in and attack them and I bet that boy will do anything to protect her so I need you to catch him so that he won't be in the way of my plans of taking Felicia home but I want you to be careful of the Pikachu, okay and all of the other pokemon that boy seems to have and I will give him his award which is a treasure that no treasure hunter can't resist. But remember make sure that no one from the mushroom kingdom sees you. So I will cast a spell on us so that the only ones that can see us are the brats. It is an invisible spell and I will be coming with you too because I have unfinished business to take care of with the boy ". Kamek said after he gave everyone a pill that will turn them invisible. After they took the pill they turned invisible and the only ones that could see them were Ash and Felicia and their pokemon. Then all of them were ready for battle and they were all ready to separate Felicia from Ash. But Kamek has just the trick to do it and it has something to do with the gold coins that he gave Felicia earlier he knows that sooner or later that she will have to hand over those coins to him and that will be the time when they will make their move but they will have to wait after the mushroom is planted so it will be much easier for them to sneak up on them without anyone from the mushroom kingdom giving them away but they will not be able to see them but they will have to work fast cause the spell only lasts for a short time. So they have to do this job and fast. " all right everyone I think we got the plan down now let's move out men I don't want to disappoint my boss so let's make sure that I am right about that boy is only here for the gold and he does not care about Felicia whats so ever. Then all of them started to fly towards the mushroom kingdom with kamek taking the lead.

Then all of sudden he got a phone call from Bowser to see how everything was going. " Hey Kamek how is everything going I see that you and my troops are about to go to the mushroom kingdom is that where Felicia and that boy are," Said Bowser that was the first thing that happens when Kamek opened the phone. Which Kamek took out of his pocket as he was flying. After he took it out he told Bowser his plan and he loved it and that he is about to head over to the mushroom kingdom now because that is where Felicia and the boy are and he knew that he can count on him and he will be waiting for him to return with great news. Then Bowser told him that he has a surprise for Felicia when she comes back and it is going to be one that she will never forget" Said Bowser as he laughed evilly. Now continued your work on making my daughter dislike that boy and then she will come home to me and cry in my arms and will spend the rest of her life in a dungeon cell along with her little friends" Said Bowser as he showed Kamek the cages that held Groompa and Koopa. Kamek just said this is so great that will show that brat who she's dealing with said Kamek. Then he realized that Bowser was not listening to him and Bowser just told him to call him back if anything happens I will be working on my plan here. Said Bowser as he hanged up the phone. " after Bowser hung up the phone Kamek put it back in his pocket and told the troops to continue moving forward. The troops just said yes sir and just followed Kamek and they were heading towards the mushroom kingdom.

There is going to be a lot of crazy things that are going to happen in the next chapter Woah it looks like lots of things are going to be happening in the next chapter on the next chapter is when Ash and Felicia will learn more about each other and Felicia will figure out that the glowing light was a mushroom all this time and do you think Kamek's plan will work and Will peach do a good job on planting the golden mushroom and there is going to be battle which kamek is trying to directive Ash so he can catcher him. There is about to be a lot of trouble that Ash and Felicia will have to deal with. As Felicia starts to remember her past but she does not know that she is the missing princess that everyone is talking about not even Ash knows that she is the missing Princess. But the truth will come to her soon. This has been a very hard chapter to the right I had it perfect in my head but when I put it on paper it comes out wrong. But I hope that this chapter is good and let's hope that things will get better for everyone in the mushroom kingdom. This has been another long chapter. It is so hard to focus on so many different stories at once and I have so many chapters that I have to write. I am already working on the ending even though we are not there yet we have a long time until we get to the ending but I just wrote it down just in case I forget it cause once I have it in my head it looks perfect but when I write it down on paper it does not make sense. I am also a fast thinker that is also the reason I come up with these very long chapters.
