Hello everyone I hope all of you are liking this story so far and in this chapter, Yoshi has returned to the mushroom kingdom and since he missed the birthday celebration Peach decided to throw a party for Yoshi's return but that is not the only thing that is going to happen in this chapter. The last time that we were with Ash and his friends they were about to leave the mushroom kingdom and now Ash and the Pikachu or on a journey back to the castle so that they can bring Felicia home but no one wants her to go back to her old life but Felicia knows that she has to because she has to help Groompa and Kroopa who could be in trouble. So during their time in the forest and how long are they going to be in here for or will it just make them more lost so that Ash can spend more time with Felicia. Will you just have to read and find out. I do not own Mario or Pokemon all of those belong to their respective companies. So I hope you all enjoy this chapter. So let's get this show on the road.

When everyone in the mushroom kingdom was about to go to sleep. Peach and Daisy were about to go to sleep until they heard something that was coming from the castle entrance. So Daisy turned to Peach and asked her if she heard that and she did so both of them walked outside of the castle to see what it was. When the rest of the mushroom kingdom was asleep they didn't know that they were about to get a special visit from an old friend and he is just about to land at this very moment. So when the princesses were about to go to sleep they heard something that was coming outside of the castle. " Hey Peach did you hear something it sounds like someone is at the front door asked Daisy. she said before she was about to go into her bed to go to sleep but she stopped once she heard the noise and Peach did hear it too, " yes I do hear something and I think we should go check it out because it could be Mario and Luigi or it could be my lost daughter I knew that if I waited a little longer she will come home. So come on Daisy we have no time to lose I can't wait to hug her and kiss her and finally be a mother I knew if I waited long enough she will come home I knew this will be the day when everything I ever hope for can finally come true she said as she grabbed Daisy by the hand as she was trying to grab it back because Peach was pulling her way too hard and she was hurting her. " oh okay Peach please calm yourself you are hurting my arm please let me go" cried Daisy as she was trying to pull her arm out of Peach's grip but she was way too strong. Then Peach realize that she was grabbing Daisy way too hard and she said that she was sorry and she was just excited to finally meet her long lost daughter cause after all of this waiting she can finally be with her daughter and be a mother . " oh sorry Daisy I was just excited to finally meet my baby girl for the first time and I been waiting for this for years". said Peach after she stopped running and took a couple of deep breaths because she was running way too fast and she wanted to know if she didn't hurt Daisy too much. After Daisy calmed Peach down they decided to walk the rest of the way. But when they got outside Peach's mood change right away when she saw who was outside it was not Ash, Felicia, Mario, or Luigi it was Yoshi.

When they got there they found the source of the sound and it was Yoshi which they were either happy and worried about at the same time because he was alone. Also, the last time that they saw him he left with Mario to go find Ash. So when Peach saw Yoshi alone this started to make Peach very scared about Mario and thought something bad must have happened to him and she was disappointed that it wasn't her lost daughter either and that it was just Yoshi. When Yoshi saw the princesses he just waved at them as they were walking up to him so that they could greet him once they did. They started to ask him about their husbands because they were worried about them and what was he doing here all by himself. The first person to greet Yoshi was Peach. She ran up to him and asked him, " Yoshi, what are you doing here and where are Mario and Luigi? She asked him nervously hoping that nothing bad happened to her husband. Then Peach forgot that Yoshi can't talk so she tried another way to make him tell her what happened to her husband so she told Yoshi since he can't talk she asked him if he can draw her a picture of what happened to Mario and Luigi. Yoshi just nodded and was pretty upset that he didn't get a friendly welcome home but he understood why so he just did what Peach said as he was using his tail to draw a picture of what happened to Mario and Luigi. When Yoshi was drawing his picture since he couldn't talk, Daisy and Peach were watching him very closely so that they could understand what he wanted to tell them. " Oh I see you guys went to go to the snow kingdom and Mario told you to come back here to see if I needed help with the mushroom. Aww, that was very sweet of him but Yoshi you are a bit too late but tell you what since you came all this way. We can throw you another party. We can have an after-party since you missed tonight's party and how about you join us for our sleepover" Said Peach as she walked over to Yoshi and placed a kiss on his nose. When she came up to him she noticed that Yoshi was disappointed that he got here too late but he was grateful that the princess wanted to throw him a party just for him because he missed the birthday party. " I am sorry that you missed today's activities today Yoshi but I promise that you will have a better day tomorrow I promise" Said Peach. As she patted him on the nose. Yoshi felt a little better now that the princesses understood everything and that he is going to have a welcome home party just for him. So after Peach and Daisy welcomed Yoshi back home they decided that they should go back inside and they will figure out what to do for Yoshi's party tomorrow morning because it was starting to get very late and they were getting tired. " Hey guys sorry to interrupt but can we talk about this in the morning because I am getting tired right now," said Daisy as she was yawning . " oh, of course, Daisy come on Yoshi you can come in my room we were about to have a sleepover before you came but we can only stay up only for a little bit because I am also getting tired as well so we can probably just watch a movie and you must be tired of doing all of that fighting and traveling so I bet that you must be very tired as well hey Daisy how about we skip the sleepover and just go right to the sleeping part or do you want to go to sleep after we watch a movie and then we can go to sleep," said Peach. Daisy was so not in the mood to stay up a little longer and said can we just go to bed we had a long day and I bet that is what Yoshi wants to do, isn't it Yoshi" Daisy asked Yoshi and he just nodded. Peach agreed and she was getting tired so all of them decided to call it a night as well.

When Yoshi and the princesses were walking back to the castle and they all went to Peach's bedroom when they got there Daisy and Peach realize that they can stay up for a little bit because they felt bad for Yoshi so they decided to stay up with him just for a little bit so now that Yoshi is here they wanted to have a little fun before they go to sleep. So after their little fun, they all decided to go to sleep for the night cause they have a busy day tomorrow and they couldn't stay up any longer . Peach slept in her bed with Yoshi who was sleeping on her carpet. Daisy slept in one of the guest rooms. Now that everyone in the mushroom kingdom is asleep. Everyone couldn't wait to have some more fun in the morning. They also couldn't wait to see what the next day is going to bring for them. Now we know what is going on in the mushroom kingdom lets go see how Ash and his friends are doing on their journey through the mushroom kingdom forest as they are on their way to take Felicia home but no one is happy about bringing her home, especially Ash. So let's go see how they are doing.

~~~~~~~in the mushroom kingdom forest~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile in a forest that is somewhere outside of the mushroom kingdom. Ash and his friends were going through the forest trying to get Felicia home to the castle but it seems that the forest was getting a lot darker every time they kept on walking but Ash remembered that he brought a fleshlight with him and took it out. Once he got his fleshlight out he started to lead everyone through the forest. But on their way back to the Castle they have come across so many interesting things during their time out here. When Ash was leading everyone he was getting thoughts about what will happen to Felicia when she gets home because to him he does not think that she should live with that monster because he seems very dangerous but he understands why she has to go back so that she can help her friends who could be in danger. Felicia was also not happy about going back to her old life as well; she wanted to spend the rest of her life free outside of the castle. When Ash was walking he looked behind him and saw how upset Felicia was so he went up to her and asked " Hey are you okay" he said as he tried to comfort her the best he could. " No I am not alright I am just upset that I am never going to see you again after this and I don't want this night to be over. I am also very scared about what is going to happen when I do get back ". She says to him as they were walking towards a river so that Ash and the Pikachu could figure out how to cheer up Felicia and also everyone was getting hot so they decided to stop at a river so that they could cool themselves from walking so much. As they get to the river, Ash leads her to a log so that they can talk in private . " hey before we talk I need to wash my face and then you can tell me what is bothering you," he says as he stands up and walks near the river. So he went over to the lake so that he could wash his face in the water. When he was washing himself he looked up and saw Felicia looking at her reflection in the water. After he was done washing his face he walked back to the log and started to speak to her and this is what he said to her " hey I know that you are upset about going home trust me I am not okay taking you home either but I think it is really brave what you are doing is so that you can protect your friends" he said as he saw her looking at herself in the lake as he sat right next to her as they were watching the Pikachu playing with each other while their trainers decided to have a private chat. Once Felicia saw Ash next to her she smiled at him and started to tell him that she was very grateful about how tonight has been and it will be a day that she will never forget and it was the best birthday ever and now I am afraid of what my father is going to do to my friends when I get home he already knows that I escaped since he sent Kamek after me. She said as she lays on his chest as he put his arm around her. As she was laying on him Ash rubbed her back and said that everything is going to be alright but then he had an idea. His idea is that he is going to try to spend a lot of time with Felicia as much as possible before he takes her home. So after they visit the lake Ash decided to show Felicia all of the creatures that were in the forest so that she will be distracted from her thoughts. " Hey Felicia how about we spent some time together in this forest before we take you home and let's take a look at all of the creatures that live in here?" asked Ash. The Pikachu also liked that idea too so they agreed that was a good idea even Felicia thought that was a good idea too cause she gets to spend a lot more time with her friends much longer. " okay we can do that and that way I get to spend more time with you guys much longer before I go home" Said Felicia as her mood was changed from sad to happy in a second. Then Ash came up to her and wrapped his arm around her as they walked into the forest together. Once they started their walk they came in contact with so many different types of creatures that they have never seen before they were either pokemon or animals and interesting-looking creatures that they had never seen before. But some of the creatures were very different from the next. When the group was right in the middle of looking at the creatures in the forest Ash and Pikachu realized that they had walked far away from the girls.

Once they realized that they had walked far away from the girls they decided to stop walking and wait for them right where they were but what they didn't know is that they were right in the middle of bear territory and the mother bears were just about to come out of their dens from sleeping all winter long. Which is a bad time for wandering travelers. Which was where Ash and Pikachu decided to wait for the girls. So they decided to take a look around the area and it would give them something to do until the girls caught up to them. Then suddenly not so far away from them. There was a mother bear that was coming out of her den so that she can smell the sweet smell of spring and she was not alone. So after the mother bear came out of her den there were two cute baby bear cubs and they were only 2 years old. Smelling the fresh air was not the only reason why she came out of her den; she also felt really hungry and bet that her cubs must be hungry too so she has to go out and look for food and she has to eat a lot so that she can produce milk for her babies. Since they are too young to eat any solid food yet. So When the mother went out to look for food. Ash and Pikachu were just about to walk past her den until Ash felt something that was tagging on his pants at first he thought it was Pikachu but once he looked down at the ground it was a baby bear cub. " aww look how cute these little guys are Pikachu" he said as he knelt so that he can pet it and so that he can get a better look at them." um Ash I don't think you should be petting those cubs you don't know if the mother is still out there" Pikachu warned him but he was not listening he was to busy playing with the cubs until he heard a growl that was coming from the distance and it seems to be getting close. As the growling was starting to get louder Pikachu's worries started to get worse and tried to get Ash's attention but the cubs were playing with him so again he didn't hear him. So Pikachu decided to jump right on Ash's lap once he realized that Pikachu was on his lap he stopped laughing and playing with the cubs and looked at him and said " hey what was that for Pikachu" asked Ash. But before Pikachu got a chance to respond the mother bear appeared and she was staring right at Ash. She growled because she thought that Ash was a threat to her cubs. Once Ash saw the mother bear he stood up slowly. " oh um now I know what you were trying to tell me before Pikachu. Then he turned to the bear and said in a soft voice and said " easy there I am sorry that I didn't know these cubs belonged to you. I didn't mean to cause them any harm please try to forgive me" he said trying to get the bear to listen to reason but the bear just roared at him in anger. " I told you shouldn't have played with those cubs." Reminded Pikachu. But before Ash was about to respond. The bear started to charge at them Which caused them to run deeper into the forest.

Then on the other side of the forest, Felicia and Rosemary realize that they have lost track of the boys until they hear a scream which caused Felicia to run straight into the forest so that she can look for the boys and fast and had a bad feeling about what they are running away from. " Hey, Rosemary, what do you think of this forest it's so beautiful and I just love the fresh air of spring don't you," she said as she picked up a berry from the bush that was right next to her and feed it to her Pikachu who was sitting on her shoulder. " Yes it is but do you think we should go and find the boys who have walked farther away from us and we better find them before they run into trouble," said Rosemary. Then they heard a scream and a growl that was coming from a distance which made Felicia worry. " oh no Rosemary did you hear that it sounds like trouble has found them come on we better go help them and fast" she says as she runs through the forest.

Once they found the boys it looked like they were trying to run away from something. Once the boys ran past them Ash just told them to come on we have to get out of here and fast" he said to them as he continues to run away, Felicia had a confused look and didn't know what he was talking about until she saw an angry mother bear that was running right past them and it all started to make sense to her now why the boys were running away it was because they were getting chased by a bear. So Felicia followed the mother bear into a dead-end that looked like Ash and Pikachu were trapped until Pikachu stood right in front of Ash who was ready to use thunderbolt if the mother bear came too close to him or Ash. " no Pikachu we don't want to hurt her and she was just protecting her babies". Said Ash to Pikachu as he held his Pikachu in his arms to stop him from using a thunderbolt on the bear. Back with Felicia and Rosemary they have been trying to figure out why would a mother bear be chasing them until Felicia thought that there has to be one reason why she would be chasing them. " I wonder what Ash did to make the bear angry I better go find out come on Rosemary we have to catch up to the bear and make sure that no one gets hurt and I bet I know why she is being so protective for," she said to Rosemary who sitting on her shoulder as she was trying to catch up with the bear that was chasing after Ash and Pikachu.

After a long time of running the mother bear chased them down a dead-end once she got them cornered Ash and Pikachu realized that they were trapped and they didn't know what to do and it looks like this could be the end for them . " oh no a dead end now what are we going to do" cried Pikachu. When Felicia finally found them she saw the bear was just about to pounce on Ash and Pikachu until Felicia realizes that she has to do something now but first she needs to know why this bear is chasing them in the first place. So Felicia asked him what he did to make the bear angry cause she knows that bears will not attack unless there is a reason. " Will you see when we were waiting for you? We walked by a den that I didn't know that it belonged to a mother bear but when she appeared that was when I realize that these cubs had a mother and I thought the cubs looked like they wanted someone to play with. So I decided to play with them cause they looked like they were lonely and wanted someone else to play with them, but I should have listened to Pikachu?" Said Ash. This caused Felicia to get mad and thought that she was right and the mother was just trying to protect her babies so she tried to come up with a plan that can help them " oh I see what is going on here you are just a mother that was trying to protect your babies she said as she looked at the bear and then she looked at Ash and said " Ash why would you do that. The mother was just trying to protect her babies and once she saw you she must have thought that you were a threat to her cubs." She said to Ash and then she turned back to the mother bear " I am sorry for this misunderstanding" she said to the mother bear " my friend didn't mean to cause your babies harm" She said as she was trying to calm the bear She was doing a much better job calming her down then Ash ever did. Then Felicia had an idea " Hey I have an idea I know a way you can trust us but we have to go back to the den to do this and don't worry everything is going to be fine" she said as she knelt so that she can look into the bear's eyes to prove that she was serious and the mother understood and decided to follow them back to the den so after Felicia calmed everyone down they all decided to go back to the mother's den so that Felicia's plan can prove that Ash was not a threat to the cubs. So along the way, Felicia had explained her plan to Ash and this is what she told him. " Once we get to the den I need you to pick up one of the cubs and hand them to the mother so that way she will see that you are not taking them away from her'' She explained to him. Ash was very impressed with how much she knows about bears so he asked her how she knows so much about them. " In my free time besides baking cakes, I also like to read books in the castle library and sometimes when I have to clean in there I sometimes read some of the books there and I remembered that I came across a book about bears and it was very interesting," she explained to him. " Wow, Felicia, every time I am with you I seem to learn a lot about you, and I can't help but be impressed by how much I have learned from you. You are an amazing cake maker and you are very smart. Is there anything you can't do he said as he and Felicia laughed at Ash's compliment? As they were walking back to the den Felicia couldn't help but feel the fresh air of the forest and admire how beautiful it looks and she couldn't believe that she has done so much ever since she left that castle but now she is only wondering what is going to happen when she does go back there all she knows is that her father is not going to be very happy to see her since he figured out that she escaped from the castle. While they were on their way back to the den. Felicia also explains to Ash that the other reason why the mother was chasing him was that he was running the reason why it is not a good idea to run away from her. It is because it will give a lot of attention to the bear. That was the other reason why she was chasing you too and also because you were messing with her babies as well'' Felicia tells him. " But I am sure that everything is going to be much better when we get over there," She said to him. Oh, I am sure it will, and also thank you for helping me back there. If it wasn't for you that mother bear could have killed me and now I learned my lesson and I am glad to know that I will never mess with someone else's children again " said Ash. " I am glad that you learned your lesson that now let's get back to the mother's den so you can prove you are not a threat to the cubs and then I think we should head back to the castle," Felicia said sadly. Then all of them walked into the forest as they were on their way back to the mother bear's den so that Felicia can set her plan into action.

Now we know what is going on with Ash and Felicia are doing in the forest we will come back to them after we see how Bowser is doing and what he is planning to do with Felicia when she comes home and what is going to happen to Kroopa and Groompa. So let's go over to Bowser's castle to see what is going on over there. Kamek has also returned from his trip and he is ready to help out his boss with his plan on punishing Felicia and he couldn't wait for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At Bowser's Castle~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at Bowser's castle Kamek just came back from his trip and arrived just in time to help Bowser to come up with good ideas that can help him with his plan on destroying Ash cause they know that they are on their way back to the castle right now he has to get ready for Felicia to come home and he couldn't wait for her to get home cause she is going to be in so much trouble . " oh Kamek thank goodness that you are here you are just in time to help me with my plan on how I am going to punish Felicia for disobeying me and I also need help getting ready for it. But I do hope that you have some information that I would need to know more about this boy asked Bowser cause the more that we learn about him the more we can find a way to destroy him he said with an evil look on his face which made Kamek and Junior ready to help him with his plan but not everyone was okay with Bowser's plan.

Meanwhile back in Felicia's room Kroopa and Groompa were in separate cages and they were talking about how are they going to warn Felicia about this and how are they going to help her and they had a hard time trying to break the bars that were holding them in." oh this is all my fault if I haven't tried to convince that boy to take Felicia out of the castle we wouldn't be in this mess right now" said Groompa. " oh don't blame yourself Groompa you were only trying to help Felicia but I am mad at you for dragging me into this cuz I'm not the one who convinced her to go outside you are the one that did, but don't worry we will get out of here I am sure of it" Kroopa assured him. As they were talking they heard the door open and it was Bowser who came to tell them the rest of his evil plan and now they are being punished for disobeying him. Once Bowser walked in the minions were terrified and looked up at him then Bowser started to speak. " Will I hope you two love your cages cause this is what you get for not keeping an eye on her and to make sure that she doesn't leave the castle and that you disobeyed your boss and I told you to keep an eye on her so to make sure that she doesn't do stuff like this and this is how you watch over my daughter is helping her to do the one thing that she is not allowed to do and now my whole plan will be ruin and this is the punishment that you get for not doing your job?" Said Bowser angry.

" Will you know that sooner or later that she will leave and that you have to tell her the truth as well and do you think that keeping us locked in here is going to fix anything and will you are wrong". Said Kroopa as he held the bars that were keeping him from attacking Bowser. " Noooo Felicia must never know the truth that I kidnapped her so that I can get revenge on her real dad and that is the reason why I kept her locked up in this castle to make sure that she doesn't know the truth but thanks to you too I might not have a choice and I bet the boy that she met has to be friends with Mario so I have to destroy him before Felicia does find out the truth and you two or going to help me if you like it or not," he says as he carried the cages down to the throne room so that they can wait for Felicia to come back Kamek will tell them when she is back and then Bowser and Jr will run up there so that they can show Felicia to her new room and Junior was so excited now that he gets to make Felicia do whatever he wanted. When they got to the throne room Bowser set on his throne with the cages that held Kroopa and Groompa right next to his feet as they were waiting for kamek to tell them that Felicia has arrived. So in the meantime this gives Bowser and Junior ideas on what they wanted to do with Felicia when she comes back. " you will never get away with this" said Kroopa. " oh yeah you just watch and learn and see what happens when someone disobeys the kroopa king and I already have" said Bowser with a smirk on his face. " we will just see about that just you wait until Felicia comes home you are going to be sorry and she will save us" shouted Kroopa. " Oh, be quiet and she will be sorry after she sees what I am going to do with you two. Now be quiet. I am trying to think about my perfect plan to punish her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at the forest~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, after a long time of walking, Felicia and Ash made it to the mother bear's den and the cubs were very happy to see their mother. Then Felicia told Ash to pick one of the cubs and hand them over to her. Alright, Ash here is what I need you to do. I want you to carry one of the cubs and hand them over to the mother so that she will know that you are not trying to take her babies away from her". Felicia explained to Ash. Ash just nodded and did what he was told so he picked each of the cubs up one at a time and started to hand them over to the mother bear. Once the mother bear saw that this human was not going to take her cubs away from her she realized that this boy was not a threat at all. After he placed them next to her he started to say that he was sorry to her by bowing his head. Once he saw the mother bear with her cubs they were hugging each other and the mother was feeding the cubs milk. That was all of the thanks that Ash got and he didn't mind it at all so after that he went over to Felicia and said " Thank you so much for helping me with that cause if it wasn't for you I might have been killed so thank you for saving my life" Said Ash as he walked over to her. " aww it's no problem at all but now I think we should leave them alone so let's get out of here" Said Felicia. Then Ash and the Pikachu all agree that it was time for them to go but Ash couldn't help but wonder how Felicia is feeling now and hope that it was a way to distract her from her thoughts about going back to the castle so he walked over to her and asked.

" Hey, how are you feeling,?" Ash asked her. "Will I am happy that we helped that bear out if that is what you meant but if you want to know how I am feeling about going home I am still nervous about how my father is going to react when I get there all I know is he is going to be very mad". She explained to him. Ash really felt bad for her and maybe he might want to come up with her but she said that she would rather go inside the castle and face her father by herself because her father might hurt him or even kill him. " hey I have an idea if you are so scared how about I come up with you so if your father does anything I will be there to protect you" he said. " thank you Ash but I don't think that is a good idea cause he might hurt you if he learns that you are the one that took me out of the castle in the first place. He is probably planning on killing you now. It is fine I will go up there and face him on my own. Felicia tells him.

After Felicia said that. He understood everything and he still thinks that he should go up with her but ever since she's been out here she has turned into a strong person so he thinks that she will be just fine on her own and after all, she has come a long way since he first met her in the castle. When he first met her she was unsure of herself and now she is strong enough to handle anything and he believes in her but there is a side of him that is telling him that leaving her in that castle is a bad idea.

After Ash and his friends took care of the bears. They went back into the forest so that they can continue their journey back to Bowser's castle so that Felicia can go home. but as they were walking Ash forgot that he was supposed to look for Mario and Luigi right after he drops off Felicia. " oh my gosh I can't believe that I forgot about that" said Ash as he was rubbing his head

So after a long time of thinking, he finally realizes what he forgot and that is after he drops off Felicia he has to look for Mario and Luigi. " oh my gosh I can't believe that I forgot about that" Ash shouted as he was trying to get his thoughts together. Which caused Everyone to jump in surprise. So after he scared everyone to death they all looked at him cause they wanted to know what caused him to scream like that and they wanted to know what was going on. So Felicia and Pikachu were the first ones that walked up to him first cause they wanted to make sure if he was okay. " Hey Ash are you alright," Felicia asked him. " Ash looked up at her and said " yeah I'm fine I just remembered that I forgot to do something and I am just starting to remember it now and I can't believe that I would forget something like this ". he says as he looks down at pikachu who was underneath his feet. Who was curious why would his trainer reacted like that and what was he suppose to remember " whats the matter Ash why did you scare us like that" said Rosemary who was running over to him to see if he was alright. " yeah I just remembered that after we drop you off Felicia I have to look for someone and pikachu you should know who I am talking about" he says as he looks at pikachu. Then after a moment of thinking Pikachu realize what Ash forgot and he was a shame for forgeting that to. " oh my gosh you are right Ash I completely forgot about that as well" said pikachu. Then the girls walked over to the boys to see what they can do to help them and they wanted to know who were they looking for. "what is it that you forgot" asked Felicia as she placed a hand on Ash's shoulder. Ash looked at her and said " will you see when me and pikachu were at the castle when you and Rosemary went to look around the kingdom and do you remember that girl that was giving a speech before the light show started, Will she happens to be a friend of mine and she told that her husband and her brother in law went out to look for me because I got lost in the forest and I was suppose to be at the castle first thing in the morning but we went down the wrong way cause I was not watching where I was going . That is how I and Pikachu ended up in that dark forest and it is also how we got lost. So anyway when we got to the castle I noticed 2 of my friends were not there so that was how I learned that they were out looking for me. so after I drop you home I have to go back to look for them and I hope that they are alright and like I told you before that I get paid for the adventures that I do and one of my friends and his name is Mario who happens to be the father of the missing princess and it is my job to find her and to return her home safe But I haven't found any signs of her or any clues on where she could have gone. But I hope that I will find something soon." Ash finished. Felicia was very fascinated with his story and had no idea that he has gotten through so much before she met him. " oh don't worry Ash I am sure that they will be alright. I don't know much about your friends but I think it is sweet what you are doing for them and they must be very grateful what you are doing for them" she said to him as she leads on his chest and I didn't know that was how you got lost". She said. " Yeah, I am actually glad that I got lost to because if I didn't get lost I wouldn't have found you and you wouldn't be having a great birthday right now and another thing I have gotten lost so many times on my adventures but this time I am glad that I got lost because I wouldn't have met you and Rosemary and I wouldn't know how to love and it is all thanks to you," he says as he leans in so he can kiss her but before he was about to kiss her Felicia stopped him cause she wanted to say something before she returns a kiss back to him " Also if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know how it feels to be free and I wouldn't have the chance to get out of the castle and see the outside world she says as she returns a kiss back to him. As the Pikachu was enjoying seeing their trainers kissing they decided to join in on the fun too. So they gave each other a little kiss. Until Pikachu interrupted their trainers kissing and realize that they should get back to the castle now. " um you guys I know that you want to stay out here much longer but we have to get Felicia back home if we ever get the chance to find your friends Ash and Pikachu" Rosemary said. Then Ash and Felicia broke away from their kiss and realize that the Pikachu was right. So they decided to hold hands for the rest of the way so that Felicia can feel safe knowing that Ash is with her.

So then everyone all decided to walk back into the forest and who knows what is going to happen on their way back maybe they might bump into other creatures along the way. So After Ash got that out of his system he started to feel a whole lot better and he couldn't wait to tell Mario and Luigi all the fun things that he did with Felicia. So as they were holding hands they couldn't wait to see what other amazing things are going to happen in this forest. Who knows what other great adventures that they will face all they have to do is just keep going and maybe their next adventure will find them.

After a while of them kissing they realize that it was getting late and they thought that they should be getting back to the castle. as much as they would like this moment to last forever but sadly it can't. So they let go of each other Ash decided to hold hands with Felicia the rest of the way so that she can feel that no matter what happens he will always be there for her even when they are far away and even though they will never see each other after tonight they will always be with each other in their hearts so they decided to enjoy this moment will it lasts. " Felicia I just want to let you know is that no matter what happens and I may not be here to protect you from your father but I will always be in your heart and remember these last three words and that is I love you and I want you to never forget that even when we are far apart," Said Ash as they stopped walking when they did this caused Felicia to hug him with tears running down her face as she buried her face in his chest and said " same to me as will no matter what my father does to me just want to let you know that I love you too with all of my heart," She said as she and Ash just stared at each other and then Ash decided to finish his speech and this is what he said to her" ever since I met you in that castle I knew I felt something special about you and Pikachu was right all I had to do was keep on looking and I found the most beautiful treasure of all," he said as he and Felicia shared a loving kiss as the pikachu also decided to share a kiss as well. So after everyone was kissing each other they realize that they can't keep stopping, they have to keep going. So when they parted Ash and Felicia just looked at each other and said " Will I guess we better get going" she said sadly. " Yeah, your right come on you guys let's go," Said Ash sadly as he turned to the Pikachu as they stopped kissing as well and climbed on their trainer's shoulders.

So as Ash and his friends were walking through the forest they finally got out of there and they can spot the castle from a mile away once Felicia saw it she started crying again and started to get a lot more scared and kept on saying no none stop and this can't be happening and I can't believe I have to go back to that dark and gloomy castle again she cried into Ash's Chest as he was holding her close to him as he was doing the best he can to comfort her by rubbing her back and said everything is going to be alright he says as both of them were holding each other close as they started to walk through some of the trees so that they can get to the castle. As they were walking Ash was having thoughts about leaving Felicia alone in that castle again and thought that this is not a good idea to leave her there by herself and there has to be another way to make Felicia stay with him forever and he would love Felicia to meet Mario and Luigi so as these thoughts were coming through he continued to walk along with Felicia holding her hand as they were making their way towards the castle. Every time they kept on walking closer to the castle they got more upset the more that they walked even closer to it.

While we will see what happens when they get to the castle but by the time that they get there, it will be either midnight or morning. So With Ash and Felicia getting closer to the castle. Back in Bowser's castle he has seen everything from Kamek's staff and had a smile on his face on how much he saw how scared Felicia was about coming home and he just loved it and she has every right to be afraid cause the worst is yet to come.

So when we left Bowser and his minions he was coming up with plans that will make Felicia's life more horrible than it already is. He was in his throne room waiting for Felicia to come home so that he could make a surprise attack on her. " Will, Will look who's almost home. My sweet darling is almost here and Kamek you know what to do when she comes back right" Asked Bowser. " Yes sir and that is too aware you when the brat is back from her trip and I got the perfect cell for her cause since she lost all of her freedom for disobeying you. kamek said. " Thank you Kamek unless I know that there is one minion that I can trust unlike sudden minions that go behind their master's back and did the one thing that I told them not to do and good thinking Kamek and I am sure that Felicia will feel right at home in her cell this is the prize that she gets leaving the castle and now I need to find a way to destroy that boy it was too bad that bear didn't kill him will when they are close to the castle I might have some fun with him and I sure that he is probably waiting to get his award for taking her out of the castle isn't that right Kroopa and Groopa," he says as he stared at Kroopa and Groompa who were upset in their cages.

Once the minions heard about what Bowser said about the money they were surprised that he knew about it so Kroopa asked him " How did you know that you weren't here when that happened and how did you know about the award that we were going to give him? '' Kroopa asked him. " Will a little birdie told me everything on what happened when I came home since you guys weren't telling me about what happened to Felicia but Kamek did and I know that he will never betray me," Said Bowser with a smirk and then Kroopa just glared at Kamek for always telling on them. So he turned up to Kamek and said " You were spying on us when we were trying to convince that boy to take Felicia out of the castle for her birthday. You are someone that will do anything to impress the boss ." Said Kroopa. " Will I just want to see that child suffer the way that her father has done to me and our boss and I am going to make sure that he gets what he wants and that is to get revenge on Mario and I am going to help him and you two had your chance but you ruined it by making Felicia escape from the castle and now you lost it and by the way, I was not spying I was doing my job if you wanted to know so bad," Said Kamek. As the Minions were talking Bowser was coming up with a plan that will help him but he couldn't think of anything because the minions were fighting so he told them to shut up and he was trying to think and he couldn't think of them fighting so after the minions stopped fighting. Bowser went back to thinking about his plan and how it was going to work. " Uhm I think I do have something in mind and it has something to do with you two I know you two care about Felicia so much how about you share the same punishment as her, oh that is so perfect and that is what I am going to do but first I think Kamek you should go up to Felicia's room I am sure that she should be arriving any moment now and don't forget to warn me when she is here so that I can plan my trap on her and this is going to be one trap that she can never escape from I will make sure of that." Said Bowser. Kamek just bowed and said I will do whatever you, say, my king," he said as he flew up to Felicia's room which left Bowser alone with Kroopa and Groompa. He couldn't stop thinking about how much trouble that she is going to be in when she gets home and he was looking forward to it. As Bowser was getting ready for his big trap on Felicia and waiting for the warning from Kamek. " Now I can't stop thinking how Mario is going to feel when he realizes that I was the one that took his daughter in the first place. This will be my biggest revenge plan yet. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes that I took the most important person to him is now in my paws and now all we need to do is wait and then things will work out perfectly now with his daughter in my paws there is no way he will win this time and I will finally get my revenge on Mario once and for all." said Bowser as he was laughing evilly as he was sitting on his throne and patted the minions cages that were underneath his feet. " Don't worry Groompa and Kroopa It will all be over before you know it" said Bowser as he was petting the cages and laughing again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yoshi's party~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Bowser was in his throne room getting ready for his attack and his revenge. Meanwhile Over at the mushroom kingdom the next day Peach, Daisy, and all of the toads were hard at work on making Yoshi's welcome home Party, and Peach wanted everything to be perfect.

It all started in the morning when she and Daisy wake up and after they were done eating breakfast they got right to work on Yoshi's Party and everything is going to be Yoshi-themed. That is what Peach told Daisy and the toads while they were at Breakfast. As they were talking about the party and were too busy planning the party lots of people kept on asking Yoshi about his trip but they were making him uncomfortable so Peach told them to leave him alone then they stopped once the Princess told them to stop and turned to look at her.

Everyone had a special job to do. Peach is going to be in charge of the food along with the toads and Daisy is going to work on invitations and the decorations. Toadworth was in charge of the activities and the dancing. The only thing that Yoshi gets to do is just relax but he decided to help them because it is the least he can do for today. But he has wished that Mario was here to see this. So as Peach was making the food she couldn't wait to make another cake and this time it is going to be green and yellow cake because those are Yoshi's signature colors so she wanted the cake to look just like Yoshi. " Here I go the second cake that I am making for two days in a row." Said Peach as she was putting all of the stuff that she will need to make her cake after she put the flour, sugar, eggs, and milk it was all ready to be put in the oven and soon as the oven is done baking it then it is time for her to decorate the cake which she got a lot of help from the toads. " Wow guys I gotta say another job well done and I think that this must be the hardest cake that I ever made, maybe except for the one that I made yesterday but this one was good too. " Said Peach as she was looking up at the cake that she made with the toads and couldn't wait for everyone in the mushroom kingdom to get a piece of this cake and she is so happy now that she is back on baking cakes again. Now that the cake is done it is time to get the rest of the food done and that is what Peach and the Toads did. So When Peach and the toads were working on the rest of the food. Yoshi was helping Daisy with the decorations he will help her reach higher places where she can't reach since she was too small and he can fly so that it will be easy for Daisy to reach any high places. " geez thanks for the help Yoshi wouldn't be able to reach that high if it wasn't for you. So anyway how is Luigi doing" she asked. Yoshi just nodded which meant that he was fine and there was nothing to worry about and besides he is with Mario and when they are together they are unstoppable. " Will I am glad to hear that now let's get the rest of the decorations done. " She said as she walked to another part of the castle so that she can hang up some decorations over there. As Daisy and Yoshi were putting the decorations up. Toadsworth was seeing how everyone was doing and to him, it looks like everything looks ready for the party that is what he said to Daisy and Yoshi who were not listening to him because they were too busy working, but Yoshi felt like he should help them out as well he knows this party is for him but he was getting bored and just help his friends with preparing for the party by helping out with the music and there was so much to do. So how he helped was that the toads were making a playlist for him so they asked him what was his favorite songs. But Yoshi wasn't picky about the type of music so the toads just decided to pick their favorite songs instead. After everyone was done getting everything ready for the party. All of them went outside. The party did not start right away because Peach has to make a speech first. So the moment that Peach and her friends got outside they all waved at everyone who came to the party. After they were done waving at the people Peach walked up to a podium where she did her last speech. When Peach and her friends came out all of the people started to cheer and they were so impressed with how great the place looked. There were Yoshi eggs everywhere and everything was Yoshi themed. Once the people of the mushroom kingdom heard that Yoshi had returned they all were so happy to hear that Yoshi came back to the mushroom kingdom safe and sound. Yoshi never felt so grateful all of his life. He started to get nervous once he saw a lot of people staring at him. Which Peach noticed and petted him on the head and told him that there is nothing to be nervous about all you have to do today is just have fun and I felt bad that you missed yesterday's celebration so this is a party that is all for you Yoshi and we were so afraid that either of you was going to come back safely. Now, all we have to do now is just pray that everything is going to be alright with Mario and Luigi. I didn't want you to miss out on all of the fun from yesterday so this is a throwback party that is all for you Yoshi said Peach. After listening to the princess Yoshi was starting to feel a little better after he took a couple of deep breaths and was happy that Peach was thinking about him.

So right before Peach was about to walk up to the podium so that she can say her speech Yoshi stood right next to her since the speech is supposed to be about him once Yoshi was right next to Peach she patted him on the head before she turned to the podium and started to say her speech and this is what she said during her speech.

Peach's speech

Hello everyone in the mushroom kingdom I hope all of you had a great time yesterday but today we are going to continue with that fun. That is because later last night an old friend of ours has returned to the mushroom kingdom and I feel bad that he missed yesterday's celebration so I decided to throw his special party. Let's just call it an after-party and this party is specially made just for Yoshi as you all can see everything in the kingdom has something to do with Yoshi. So I would like to thank you all again for coming to today's party and hope to have a lot of fun today as well. There are going to be lots of Yoshi games, food and lots of dancing and I also made something really special as well now that I am back on making my cakes again I made another cake which I hope will be much bigger and beautiful than the one that I made yesterday and Yoshi I think you are going to love it she says as she turns to Yoshi who was getting excited about the cake. So When Peach was right in the middle of her speech she stopped for a second so that she can call out to the toads that came out with a cake that looked like a Yoshi egg. " Please bring out the cake that I made" Peach called out to the toads who were carrying the cake on a tray that was overlooking the crowd. When everyone saw the cake everyone was impressed by how it looked but no one was more impressed than Yoshi was. He was even so happy that Peach would do this much for him. So After the cake came out Peach finished off her speech by thanking everyone for coming and they can come up to grab a slice of cake but no one was not allowed to have a slice until Yoshi gets the first slice since it was his party. So After Yoshi took his slice of cake then the toads started to hand everyone a slice of cake and they all thought that the princess has outdone herself and the inside of the cake was vanilla. When everyone was having fun at the party Peach was proud of herself for how she planned two parties in a row and also her friends were also proud of her for how much confidence that she has in herself. It helped with her stress. So now she is so happy that she celebrating Yoshi's welcome home party with all of her friends. Everyone was having a great time but no one was having more than a great time than Yoshi was. So Peach walked over to Yoshi and asked " hey Yoshi are you having fun. Yoshi just nodded. Peach was happy to hear that Yoshi was having fun but she couldn't stop thinking about Mario and hope he will be alright. Yoshi notice Peach was upset and he knew why she was worried about Mario. She knows that there is nothing to worry about though because she knows that Mario is really strong. Yoshi just rubbed up against her which caused Peach to pet him on the head. " thanks for cheering me up Yoshi. I just hope Mario will be alright and I also hope that Ash will find them as well. Once Peach mentioned Ash he was surprised that he came back to the kingdom.

Peach noticed the surprised expression on his face and forgot to tell him that Ash was here and he brought a friend over to the kingdom. " oh sorry Yoshi I guess I forgot to mention that Ash came back to the kingdom while you were out with Mario." Peach also remembered the mystery girl that Ash brought to the kingdom with him and wondered how everything is going with them.

As Peach was sitting on a bench with Yoshi's head on her lap she looked out into the sky and said in a whistler " good luck you guys we wait for you forever if we need to and Mario and Ash please find each other and our daughter Peach prayed to the sky. Yoshi noticed that Peach was starting to think about Mario so he decided to spent the rest of the party with her cause he thinks that she will feel better if she was distracted from her thoughts. As they were sitting together music started to play in the town square which gave Yoshi an idea. So he dragged Peach to the middle of the square at first Peach was confused about why Yoshi was pulling her but it all made sense to her when they were in the middle of the square and she figured out what he wanted to do and that is he wanted to share a dance with her. Peach was more than happy to dance with him.

Once everyone noticed the princess was dancing they all cheered and clap when Peach was dancing with Yoshi. All of the people were so happy that she decided to join in on the fun.

Peach felt so much better once she was dancing with Yoshi and with everyone else that came to the party as well. With everyone having a great time at the party. Peach forgot why she was so worried and just continued to dance the night away with her friends.

Back in the forest

On the night before the party. Ash and Felicia had made it out of the forest and they were so close to Bowser's castle which was giving Felicia goosebumps and can only imagine what she is going to run into when she gets home and she was getting a lot more nervous than ever but she knows that she has to be strong and it is not just for her but it is for Kroopa and Groompa so when Felicia and Ash saw the castle from a distance Ash can tell that Felicia was getting nervous so he walked over to her and comfort her by hugging her as they were looking up at the castle. So Ash asked her " So are you sure you want to do this," he asked her sweetly. " Yes I have to, I need to help my friends, after all, they have done for me I can't let them down and I can't let my father hurt them, and no I don't want to go back but I have to and ever since I left it. It has given me a lot of strength and now I am ready to take on whatever punishment that my father decides to give me" Said Felicia as she took a deep breath.

After listening to Felicia, Ash can tell how grown-up she has become and he couldn't be more proud of her. He also didn't want her to go back either but he is happy that she is going back to help her friends and that is very brave of her. He will do the same for his friends too which give him thought about how Mario and Luigi are doing and hope that they are alright. But he can't worry about that right now after his time with Felicia he has learned a lot and the most important thing that he learned from their adventure is that love is the greatest treasure of all and he will carry that with him on his next adventure. So after Ash and Felicia got their emotions out of the way. They all started to walk towards the castle with their Pikachu on their shoulders. Ash and the Pikachu are going to miss her very much as well. But there was one thing that was bothering Rosemary: what was going to happen to her when Felicia went back so she tapped Felicia on her shoulder. Then Felicia looked at her and said " What's the matter rosemary" she said as she was walking and talking at the same time. " I was wondering what am I going to do when you go back and am I going to come with you," Rosemary asked. Ash was also wondering about that himself. Felicia looked at her Pikachu and told her that she is going to go with Ash. When she heard this she was shocked and before she could ask why. Felicia cut her off before she asks her. " The reason why I want you to go with Ash is that what I told you before is too dangerous and who knows what my father will do if he finds you. So to keep you safe I want you to go with Ash so I know that you will be in good hands" Felicia explained to her. Rosemary was about to say something until she thought about Felicia's decision and she was right that the castle is too dangerous but she doesn't feel comfortable leaving her alone in that castle with those monsters that treat her like a slave. Felicia understands how they are feeling and she is going to miss them very much and she will never forget this night. " I know that you guys are worried about me but please try not to worry too much and I still have the gifts that will always remind me of all of the great times that we had together and I couldn't thank you enough for doing this for me," She said to Ash and the Pikachu as she walked side by side with them. But as they were walking they were being watched from the tallest tower in the castle who is just waiting to set his trap and he wants to get rid of that boy too and the kroopa that wants to get rid of him is not just Bowser but Kamek wants to get rid of him too for making him look like an idiot and he wanted payback from all of the stuff that boy had made him do. He had enough of him making him look foolish and he wanted revenge.

So As Ash and Felicia were on top of a hill looking over at Bowser's castle Kamek was up on the highest tower in the castle trying to spot Ash and Felicia from afar so that he can warn Bowser that she is on her way home and to see if he can get a better view from the top of the tower. He did have a good view of them on the tower and he can see them by using his crystal ball that was on his scepter he also had a pair of binoculars with him as well. That can help him see them from afar. He was so excited that he is going to get back at Ash for making him look stupid when they were at the mushroom kingdom but he is just waiting for the right moment to get him and that moment will happen when he is alone. So on top of the tower, Kamek was seeing everything around Bowser's castle; he found Ash and Felicia near a tree which is where they stopped so that they could rest for a little bit before they continued to go back to the castle. " Will look who finally came home it is our little maid and her annoying boyfriend will no matter I have to find a way to get rid of him I know the boss also wants to get rid of him too but not as much as I do and after all, he is too busy trying to figure out how to punish that maid for disobeying him. Don't they look so peaceful together? who knows what they say, all happy moments must come to an end," said Kamek as he was watching Ash and Felicia through his Binoculars. The reason why he is up in the tower is that so that he can see if Felicia is getting closer to the castle so that Bowser will be ready to trap her but they are nowhere close to the castle yet they were just resting under a random tree cause they were getting tired of walking so much so they decided to take a break before they continued walking. So when they were under the tree, Felicia was resting on Ash's shoulder as he was resting on her head. But after a little while, they started to wake up and notice that they had fallen asleep on each other. The Pikachu also fell asleep as well. So when everyone woke up from their naps. They all started to walk towards the castle which was making Felicia very nervous once Ash noticed that he just rubbed her on the back and told her that everything is going to be fine.

But as they continue to walk, what they didn't know is that Kamek has set some traps around the forest and he wants to catch Ash in one of them but all of them failed. Since none of his traps didn't work he continued to keep his eye out for them to see if they were getting closer to the castle. Then right in the middle of spying on them. Bowser called him to see if Felicia is back yet and he said that she is still in the forest and she is heading towards it right now but she is nowhere near the castle yet. I will let you know when she gets close to the castle" Said Kamek. " Thanks, Kamek I am glad I have one Minion that is loyal to me and I saw the traps that you put out so that you can capture that boy but I am sorry that it failed but don't worry I have a huge surprise for him and just like you said we need him to be alone. okay I just called to see how everything was going but I see that you were trying to catch the boy but go back on warning me when Felicia gets to the castle okay," Said Bowser as he was talking to a walkie-talkie. Then Kamek just said okay and went back on looking through his Binoculars. He spotted Ash and Felicia who were on their way back to the castle. But they have to get past a forest first and they also have to find the castle and they are nowhere close to that yet. But the only thing that he can see is that they are getting close to the forest that is close to the castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at the Castle~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile back in Bowser's castle in Felicia's room Kroopa and Groompa were getting nervous and felt like they should do something but what can they do. " oh Kroopa you have no idea how bad I am feeling about all of this. I feel we just let Felicia down and I am sorry that I got us into this mess. When the minions were having their conversation Bowser was listening to them and smiled at his minions which were starting to feel bad for what they had done. so he kneeled so that he could talk to them. But before Kroopa was about to respond to him Bowser cut him off which caused the minions to glare at him. " oh I see someone is feeling bad about the mess that he caused will this is what you get for disobeying your master and I can't wait to see the look on Felicia's face when she sees what I am going to do with her and now I have to find another place where I can keep her hidden now and I have just the place to keep her in and it is also going to be your new room as well. Said Bowser as he looked down at them.

The minions didn't bother to fight back; they were too afraid to say anything but they do know what room he is talking about. Then he had a thought they all have to know that sooner or later Felicia will learn the truth and it is about time that she knows but it is not their place to tell her. So the only thing that they can do is pray and hope that whatever happens to Felicia they will be there to help her and they will not let Bowser win this fight. They also know that Mario will figure out that Bowser has to be the one that took his daughter all those years ago. So they have to find a way for Bowser to tell Felicia the truth but they don't know-how. Then Kroopa turned to look at Bowser and said. " Do you think that keeping Felicia locked up in this castle is going to stop Mario from finding her? You know how smart he is and what are you going to do when he does find out that you are the one that kidnapped his daughter. Said Kroopa. " Will that was the reason why I locked her away all these years and now that she had escaped I am sure that Mario will figure it out but thanks to you two I might not have a choice and when Mario does come he only has one choice and that is he has to surrender or something bad will happen to his daughter and that is what I am planning to do. Now be quiet I will focus on Mario after I am done with Felicia" Said Bowser as he sat on her bed as he was waiting for Kamek to warn him that Felicia is at the castle.

As Bowser was waiting for the warning from Kamek. The minions were trying to come up with a plan that will help Felicia but they have no idea where she is right now all they know is that she is on her way home right now. She just needs to get through the forest but they wish that they can warn her of the danger that she is about to face but there is nothing that they can do at the moment. The only thing that they can do right now is hope that Ash will help Felicia get out of this mess.

But then the minions remembered something that they are supposed to give the boy his money when he comes back with Felicia. " oh no Kroopa I forgot I was supposed to give the boy money when he comes back" cried Groopa. Then Kroopa looked in disbelieve and said " Why would you promise someone that and how are we suppose to do that when we are trapped in these cages." Kroopa asked. Before Groopa could answer him. They were interrupted by Bowser who heard everything " awww I see that you two promise to give the boy some gold but don't worry I will take care of that for you. It will be an award that he will never forget Bowser said as he laughs. Then Kroopa asked what are you planning to do". " oh it is something that you will have to figure out on your own and not only he will be getting money but he will also get a very special award and I am waiting for the right moment to give to him and the best time to do it is when he is alone. Now be quiet so that I can hear Kamek's warning" he ordered his minions.

After Bowser told them to be quiet the whole room was silent. But what they don't know is that Ash does not care about money anymore the only thing that he wants is to make sure that Felicia is happy and safe and of course Bowser is not going to give her that, especially now that she escaped from the castle.

Now that we know was Bowser and his minions or doing let's see if Ash and Felicia are getting closer to the castle. So Back with Ash and Felicia.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Lost in the woods~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Bowser was waiting for the warning from Kamek down in the darkest part of the forest Ash, Felicia and the Pikachu was just about to reach the castle until they come across a very dark forest, but as they were walking Ash's light brew out. Which made the forest a lot darker than it was before which made it really hard to see anything. So everyone decided to stay in a group of 2 like Ash and Pikachu will stay together and Rosemary and Felicia will stay together. So anyway as they were walking through the forest. " oh no now are we going to see where we are going now. Now that my fleshlight is out" cried, Ash. " I have an idea have about we stay in a group of 2 like Pikachu will go with Ash and I will go with Felicia. " Rosemary said.

" will that is a good idea but the only problem is that all of us have to stay together so I think we should just hold hands so that way we will stay together and whatever happens we will be with someone," Said Pikachu". " Will you two are very smart will I think we should go with Pikachu's idea what do you think Felicia". Ash said as he was looking around trying to spot Felicia but she was nowhere in sight. " Um, guys where did Felicia go," Ash asked nervously. Then the Pikachu started to look around for Felicia too. To see if Ash was serious and he was right Felicia was gone " um that was weird I was with her a moment ago. oh, she must have gotten separated once we were walking deeper into the forest we have to look for her before she gets even more lost " said Rosemary. Then she turned back to look at Ash and asked " So what should we do now Ash" she asked. " I am also wondering if it was too dark for her to see anything and that must be how she got separated from us." Ash pointed out

"But how are we going to find her now? She could be anywhere in that forest by now and it is too dark and who knows what is going to bump into her but we can't leave here cause we are almost at that castle and we better find her fast before something bad happens to her. Said Pikachu.

Then Ash had an idea after he came up with an idea he turned to the Pikachu and this is what he told them. He is going to find something that he can use as a fire torch. So he found a big stick and told one of the Pikachu to use a thunderbolt on it and once they did. Fire came out of the torch. " Will, that fix our sight problem but how is that going to help us find Felicia? '' Pikachu asked. Then he told the Pikachu to stop complaining because that was not going to help them find Felicia and so that he can think of a plan on how they are going to find Felicia without getting more lost and that was when he had another idea and this is what he said to them. " Okay you guys I am going to go back into the forest to look for her and I need one of you to stay behind. So who wants to come with me Ash told them.

At first, The Pikachu was not okay with the idea because they didn't want to lose another member but they do trust Ash so Pikachu told him that he is going to stay behind and he told Rosemary to go with Ash and she said that she will send out a spark to let him know that they had found Felicia and that they are on their way back. Pikachu just nodded. Rosemary agreed and jumped onto Ash's shoulder. " We will be back before you know it Pikachu," Said Ash as he started to run into the forest and waving bye to him.

Then Ash along with Rosemary on his shoulder ran back into the forest to find Felicia. Until then Pikachu is just going to wait for them on a log.

As Ash was running into the forest looking for Felicia with Rosemary he was starting to get worried about her and hoped that she didn't get hurt. " Come Ash we have no time to waste we have to find her and fast" Said Rosemary. " Don't worry Rosemary, we will find her. I know we will. We just need to go back the way we came and hopefully, we will bump into her." Ash told Rosemary As they were running through the forest.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Felicia was lost in the woods trying to find a way where she can catch up with her friends but it was way too dark to see anything and the forest seems to be getting more darker the more she keeps on walking which was starting to scare her and this also caused her to worry about her friends as well and hoping that nothing bad happened to them." oh I hope that I will catch up with the others soon it is starting to get dark and cold and I have no idea where I am" She said as she was looking around trying to find a sign that will show her how to get to the castle but she couldn't find anything but before she was about to give up. She spotted a blue bright light that was coming from the lake by curiously she followed it and thought the light might show her how to get out of the forest but it stopped glowing once she reached the lake. Once she got there she sat down on a log so that she can figure out what to do. " oh my goodness a light maybe someone over there might tell me how to get out of here she says as she was chasing after it . But it stopped once she got to a lake. " oh no it's gone now how am suppose to find my way out of here, maybe my father was right maybe I wasn't cut out for life outside of the castle and now thanks to this I am lost and I have no idea where I am and I don't know where my friends are but I know that they are looking for me but maybe that light was a sign for me to stay here and wait for them.

But as Felicia didn't know was that someone was listening to her cries and it was Roselina who called her over so that she can help her and she wanted to talk to her. She also thinks it is about time that she meets the girl that she has been looking after all this time. Roselina knew that sooner or later she will need to help Felicia and that time is now but it is not her time to help Felicia yet because she wants to finish listening to Felicia's prayers first and then she will step in and talk to her. So as Roselina was waiting for Felicia to be finish speaking then she will come in and help her. Felicia was looking at herself in the river and wondered if she will ever be found.

So anyway back to Felicia She was still sitting on the log looking at herself in the river and she was starting to get worried if the others will ever find her and will she be stuck in this forest forever but she knows that she can't stay she has to go back to the castle and help her friends. " what if they never find me I could be stuck in here forever even though it is better then the dark castle but wait I can't leave Kroopa and Groopa in there by themselves. Oh, I wish I could see them again. I wish I can thank them for all they have done for me. If it wasn't for them trying to convince Ash to take me to the kingdom with him I wouldn't discover this new world outside of the castle walls. But then again what is my father going to do to them I don't know what to do " said Felicia as she was unsure of herself. As she was crying in her arms the bright light that she saw earlier appeared right in front of her but once she saw the light it started to cover her face. Then she looked up at the light and when she did the bright light revealed a woman.

Roselina thinks that this should be a good time to help her. So she used the blue light to shine over the girl and started to speak " now, Now, child there is no need for those tears, and come on there is no need to lose hope. I am here to help you" She said as she helps Felicia wrapped the tears off of her eyes. Once the bright light was shining on Felicia. She stopped crying and looked up at the woman that was standing right before her. " oh I'm sorry who are you and are you here to help me find my friends" She asked. " yes child but that is not the only problem that I am helping you with. You see there is more to you than you think and I am here to help you with that' Roselina explains. " um I don't understand and you are here to help me find my friends but who are you" Felicia asked.

" That is not important right now child but you will know later on. But right now I am here to help you find your way back home but I just want to tell you that there is more to you than you know and you will learn about who you are as time goes on. I also want to let you know that you can save your friends from your father and don't worry everything is going to be fine. I will help you along the way. You may not know this but I have helped you in the past and when things really do get tough and I know you can do it I will be there to help you and I know about your problem and I am going to help you get through it" Said Roselina.

" um thank you but how are you going to help me find my friends." She asked. Then as Roselina was right in the middle of speaking she heard a voice that was coming from the forest and Felicia heard it too and it was someone calling her name and it was Ash. So Roselina turned to look at Felicia one last time and said " If I am not mistaken I think your friends had found you. Now good luck child and you may not know when I am here but I will be helping you in secret You just have to trust me and I will be there" said Roselina, as she disappeared with a blight blue light, was appeared in front of her which was making her disappear. Felicia was about to call out after her but it was too late by the time she left. Felicia was really confused about what she said that there is more to her than what she thinks. Before she had time to respond she was found in Ash's arms along with Rosemary jumping into her arms and hugged her. " oh there you are Felicia we were so worried about you, you are not hurt are you" he says as he was searching for any cuts on her but he didn't find anything. Felicia just told him that she was fine and was happy to see that they have found her but she was curious about how they found her. Then Ash explained to Felicia " it was really weird cause I and Rosemary were running through the forest looking for you and all of a sudden we found ourselves in this river it was like we were teleported here or something but who cares all that matters that you are not hurt and you are fine are you" he asked. " yes Ash I am fine but I got a little help from this woman and if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be able to find you" said Felicia as she pointed to the river but nothing was there", um Felicia are you feeling okay because I don't see anything" he questioned. " Yes I am sure, she was here a second ago but she left. "Will whoever that woman was I would like to thank her for helping you but I am just happy that you are not hurt now come on we have to meet up with Pikachu who is waiting for us so come on," he says as he grabbed Felicia by the hand. Until they were stopped by Rosemary who was mad because he didn't mention anything about her worrying about Felicia. " Hey, Ash you are not the only one that was worried about her you know. I was also worried about her too," she said as she hopped off of Ash's shoulder and onto Felicia's as she nuzzled against her face. " oh sorry Rosemary I was too busy hugging Felicia I forgot that you were there" he said as he looked at the Pikachu that was on Felicia's shoulder. " I know I was right in the middle of you when you guys were hugging each other. Next time Ash please do not squeeze too hard because I was having a hard time breathing I thought that you were going to kill me. She cried. Ash just said that he was sorry again now come on we have to get out of here and now that we have this torch we can get back to Pikachu in no time so come on we have to get back to Pikachu". Said Ash. Once Felicia heard that Pikachu was not with them she asked them where he was. She asked this as they were walking back into the forest. But along the way, Rosemary kept on saying how worried she was when Felicia was separated from the group and Ash was getting tired of hearing it. That was when he remembered she was supposed to send out a spark to let Pikachu know that they have found Felicia and they are on their way back.

When Rosemary was on her shoulder she patted her on the head and said " oh Rosemary there was nothing to be worried about and I am fine " she assured her trying to calm her Pikachu down but that was when she realized that someone was missing and it was Pikachu . " um Ash where is Pikachu" she asked. " Pikachu oh yeah Pikachu Rosemary you were supposed to send out a spark to Pikachu to let him know that we have found Felicia and tell him that we are on our way back now," Ash said to Rosemary. Right after Ash said that then Rosemary's quickly sent out a spark that only Pikachu can hear. As Rosemary was sending out her spark. Pikachu was sitting on a log waiting for the spark from Rosemary and for the others to come back he stopped sitting once he heard Rosemary's spark he was very happy that they found Felicia. So he let out a spark back to Rosemary to tell her that he got her message

After the Pikachu sent out their sparks the trainers and Rosemary continued to walk back to where they left Pikachu but as they were walking Felicia couldn't stop thinking about what the woman said to her back at the lake and that there is more to her than what she thinks and she has no idea what she means by that and that was not the only thing that was on her mind the whole day has gotten her to ask so many questions and she has no idea who to ask and all of these questions were starting to make her very frustrated and curious and she just wants someone to answer her questions. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear Ash calling her name. " Hey Felicia are you feeling okay you look like you have a lot on your mind do you want to talk about it and how did you get separated from the group" he tried to ask her but she couldn't hear him because she was too lost in her thoughts to listen to him. But she came out of her thoughts once she felt Rosemary was rubbing her face against hers. After Rosemary rubbed her face she started to wake up from her thoughts. The moment that she came back to reality she got spaced out and asked what was going on. Then Rosemary told her that Ash has been trying to get your attention and you keep on ignoring him is everything alright She also wanted to know what was on her mind as well.

Then Felicia looked up at her friends and said that she was sorry because she couldn't stop thinking about what that woman told her back at the lake and that there is more to her than what she thinks but she doesn't know what she meant by that. " oh sorry guys I was just lost in my thoughts. I just can't stop thinking about what that woman told me back at the lake and that there is more to me than I think and I have no idea what she was talking about and how did she know me. I just have so many questions and I don't know where I am going to find these answers. I'm sorry Ash so what is it that you wanted to tell me" She said as she looked at him. " oh I was asking you how did you get separated from us in the first place" he asked her. Then Felicia thought about it how she got lost and started to explain to him that it all happen after his fleshlight " Then that was when I lost sight of you guys and ended up in a very dark part of the forest and that was how I got separated from you guys but I am so happy that you guys found me" She says as she walks up to Ash and Rosemary so that she can hug them, All of them stopped walking so that they can hug her back. " Now you don't have to worry about light Felicia cause thanks to this wood that I found and the Pikachu I was able to make a torch out of it now that I made this it will make traveling so much easier now and we will be able to find Pikachu in no time," Said Ash with Confidence. Felicia was very impressed with how Ash thought of that and it was a great idea that he came up with.

So after a long time of walking through the forest, they finally caught up to Pikachu who was sitting on the same log that he was sitting on before and once he saw Felicia he was very happy that he jumped into her arms and said that he was very worried about her and then she explained to him what happen and he understood. Now that the whole gang is back together they can continue their journey back to the castle. Which was giving everyone goosebumps especially Felicia but she knows that deep inside herself she can handle this and she remembered what that woman told her that she will be able to save them and all she has to do is just believe in herself and whatever happens she has to be strong no matter what her father may do to her or her friends. So after the group got back together they continue to make their way out of the forest and the moment that they did they started to feel warm which was a sign that they must be getting close to the lava lake. " wow guys are you getting warm are is it just me" said Pikachu. " yes I feel it too Pikachu, I guess that means we are getting close to the castle. Said Ash as they were walking until they reached the same trees that they saw last time. The trees looked like they were dead they thought as they were walking past them. Then Felicia walked beside them and pointed to the castle that was in the distance. But before they were about to head down. Ash asked if she was alright. She told him that he does not need to worry about her. After what that woman told her she is ready for anything. That is what she told them but she couldn't wait to tell Kroopa and Groompa what she did and what she thought of the golden light and it was very magical and still couldn't believe all this time the light came from a mushroom. But the questions about who the people in the picture were in the town square and why they look so familiar to her and not to mention the kingdom and all of the people looked familiar to her as well and all of this has been haunting her ever since she got to the kingdom.

Then Ash and friends continued to make their way towards the castle. This will be good news for Kamek now that Felicia is almost home. It was time to warn Bowser that she was getting closer to the castle. So anyway as Ash and his friends were taking Felicia home What they didn't know was that someone has been watching them from one of the tallest towers of Bowser's castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~On top of Bowser's castle!~~~~~~~~~~~~~

meanwhile back at Bowser's castle, Kamek was on top of a tower spying on Felicia and her friends to see if they are getting close to the castle so that he can warn Bowser about Felicia's arrival so that he can set his trap on her.

so on top of the tower, Kamek was watching them from his spector but he also had a pair of binoculars with him so that he can see things that are far away and so that he can get a good view of Felicia to see if she was almost home " there they are getting very close to the castle I better warn the boss that the brat is almost home and I wonder if I am going to get a reward for doing this and the reward better be the death of that explorer I will never forget on what he did to me back at the mushroom kingdom he will pay for making me look like a fool in front of my own army. so now that I can see that they are almost at the castle. I better report this back to the boss I am sure he is going to be very happy to hear this. Then he took out his walkie-talkie and started to tell Bowser that Felicia was almost home. " hey boss I got good news about Felicia and it looks like she is almost home they are at the bridge right now" Said Kamek as he was talking to the walkie-talkie.

Back in the castle, Bowser was in Felicia's room with Jr, who was sitting on Felicia's bed playing with some of his toys, and Kroopa and Groompa were also with him but they were in small cages that were underneath Bowser's feet. they have been trying to come up with a plan to warn Felicia that she is in danger but they can't do anything right now they can try calling for help but they didn't want Bowser to hear them, So as they were waiting for Felicia to come back Bowser was getting a call from his walkie-talkie so he picked it up and said " hey Kamek do you have anything to report" he asked. Once Bowser was talking to Kamek the minions were trying to ears drop on their conversation and hope it is about Felicia. " yes I do and it is the brat she is at the bridge meaning she is almost home" said Kamek to the walkie-talkie. Bowser was very happy to hear some good news for a change and just said thank you Kamek you did well I always know I can always count on you" he said proudly. Then Bowser hanged up and started to get excited and walked over to Jr and told him that their maid is almost home which means it is almost time to make her life miserable. " Did you hear that son our precious maid is almost home so I hope you are ready for this," asked Bowser. " I was looking forward to this for a very long time. I can't wait to turn her into my personal maid and I can make her do whatever I want, right dad like can I make her change her clothes" Jr asked. " yes Jr you can do whatever you want to her cause she has no freedom because she lost it and now this is the prize she will pay for disobeying her father." When Bowser and Jr were talking about Felicia's future. The minions were starting to feel very nervous about their friend and they thought that they should do something now. After all, they do not want Felicia to spent the rest of her life torture by Bowser, Jr, and Kamek cause they know that they are going to make her do really horrible things and they can not let that happen. So Kroopa told Groompa that we have to find a way to escape so that we can warn Felicia. But when they were about to discuss how they were going to escape Bowser overheard them and came over to them and told them " I hope you two are not planning on escaping and warn Felicia about this little trap that I set for her because if you do something bad will happen to you". Said Bowser as he walked over to the cages and looked straight at his minions.

Then Kroopa had enough and started to shout out loud and said " You will never get away with this we all know that sooner or later that Mario will figure out that you are the one that kidnapped his daughter all those years ago and we all know that Mario is going to beat you like he always had in the past. What makes you think that kidnapping his daughter is going to make any difference, he says as he was trying to break through the cage that was holding him in. As Kroopa was trying to break the bars to get to Bowser. Bowser just laughed and said you can try to escape all you want but they will never open cause those cages will only open with a key. Also do not mention anything about Mario this is just the beginning of my revenge plan and just wait until he does find out that I do have his precious daughter in my paws and once he does finds out what I have been doing with her and I was the one that took her away from him all those years ago I am sure he will fall into despair and that is the prize that I want and this time I will finally win. Now that I got my point across so can you two please be quiet so that I can hear her voice and so that I can hear what Kamek has to say? So after the minions quiet down he turns back to the walkie-talkie so that he can ask kamek how close is she to the castle." he asked So Kamek how far is she from the castle" he said to Kamek. " Will she is right at the bridge to the entrance to the castle?" Said Kamek. " Thank you Kamek at least I have one minion that I know that I can trust," said Bowser as he turned to the minions when he said that. As Bowser was talking to Kamek on the walkie-talkie. Kroopa looked over at Groompa in his cage and he looked very upset so he asked him what was the matter. " Hey, Groompa what's wrong?" Kroopa asked him. " oh I'm sorry Kroopa I just feel bad for dragging you into this mess and I am also upset that we can't warn Felicia of the danger that she is about to face and that she will have to supper for her birthday and all I wanted to do was to give her this very special gift and that was the gift of freedom and that is what I wanted to get her for her birthday. But now I just wish that there was a way that we can help her get out of this and I really thought that we were doing the right thing and look what we got for doing the right thing and that is the rest of our life as a prisoner. So I just wanted to say that I am sorry Kroopa and I understand why you are mad at me but I can handle it cause I deserve it. " Groopa said. then it was Kroopas turned to speak but as they were talking Bowser was overhearing them when he was still talking to Kamek. So this is what Kroopa said. " Yes Groopa I am mad at you for what you have done because we got in trouble and now we will have to pay for what we have done now but look at the bright side you did do the right thing and you are right Felicia shouldn't live her whole life trapped inside of this castle and sooner or later she will have to step outside of these walls and that day was today. I am also glad that you came up with this idea cause she should have one special day where she can see how the real world is really like. I also want you to remember this no matter what punishment that we face we will face it together you can count on it" said Kroopa. After listening to Kroopa, Groompa was starting to feel a whole lot better. When the minions were done speaking Bowser came over to them because he had enough of them talking so he picked up each of their cages and took them out into the hallway and he will bring them in until Felicia comes in. " hey I thought I told you two to be quiet. You know what I am going to take you two out into the hallway until Felicia comes in and I bet you feel pretty nervous right now because by the look on your faces I can tell that you are scared about the punishment that you two or about to face and you have every right to be scared but I am only trying to teach you guys a lesson on what happens when you disobey your master and now you are going to pay for what you have done so if I were you I should feel a shame of my self right now. Now while you two or out here I better not hear a word out of you two okay. He said as he closed the door behind him. Once Bowser walked back into the room he started to get a smirk on his face as he was walking towards the window as he can see Felicia and her friends getting close to the bridge and turned to look at Jr who was playing on Felicia's bed. " yes pretty soon my whole plan will be complete and it is all thanks to you, my dear. That's right come to me. This time I am sure I am going to be the one that wins instead of Mario. Yes, everything is according to plan. Yes, my dear come to your new master hahaha!" He said as he was staring out the window once he did he saw that Felicia was an inch close to her bedroom so this will give him enough time to prepare his trap. When the minions were outside they were just hoping that Felicia will be safe and will find a way out of this mess and it seems that Felicia is their last hope. So once Bowser left Kroopa and Groompa all started to pray and hope that Felicia will be safe and no matter what happens she will face it with no problem. It is the only thing that they can do at the moment.

So back on top of the tower of the castle after Kamek was off the phone with Bowser he picked up his binoculars and continued to watch Felicia and her friends but there was one thing that Bowser didn't mention anything about the boy. He thought that this could be his chance to get back at him but just to make sure he picked up his wakie-talkie to see if Bowser was planning to do anything with the boy when he gets here. " oh sir you forgot to mention what you are going to do with the boy cause I am sure that you want to take care of him as well cause after all he was the one that took her out of the castle in the first place" Kamek asked over the walke-talke. " oh don't worry Kamek I have some plans for him as well but I will deal with him later when the time comes cause right now I want to focus on Felicia right now but thank you for reminding me Kamek". Bowser said to the walkie-talkie. Then Kamek wanted to ask Bowser if he can take care of him but he hanged up before he could ask. So he just continued to go back on what he was doing. " if the boss will not take care of that boy then I will" Kamek said under his breath but he is wondering what does the boss want to do with Ash anyway but he will focas on that later cause right now he wants to focas on his plan on destroying him first. So after he was finished speaking to Bowser he turned back to his binoculars and counting to spy on Felicia and her friends who were right in front of the bridge that leads them straight to the castle but they are not going to the entrance of it. When Felicia and her friends get across they will go back to the tree that is right next to her bedroom window so that they can sneak her in. but lucky that they do not know that trouble will be waiting when they get inside. " oh look at them they are so close to what is in store for them especially Felicia. " oh I can't wait for the look on her face when she gets caught she is going to be grounded for the rest of her life and now that Junior has taken over her room. She will have a nice jail cell to stay in and I am going to make sure that she does not fool around. I am going to make her work so hard that she is not even going to think about those dreams. This is my chance to actually make her life miserable oh can you hurry up and get to the tree already". Kamek shouted out to the heavens. He is lucky that no one heard him but he forgot that his walkie-talkie was still on and Bowser was excited about how Kamek was and he has every right to be excited cause sense he is the one that told him in the first place about Felicia's escape. He is going to make sure that Kamek gets the award that he deserves. As he was listening to Kamek ranting about all the stuff that he going to make Felicia do when she gets home. He stared out into the window and saw her walking across the bridge and smiled at her and knew that she is almost home but that is not the only thing that is on his mind he also wants to take care of Ash as well. Since he was the one that broke into his castle in the first place and took the most important thing that he needs to get his revenge on Mario away from him. He wants to deal with him personally but first, he wants to deal with Felicia and also wants to see if the boy is friends with Mario. That is also the other reason why the minions are getting in trouble is that they let a stranger in the castle and they were supposed to keep an eye on her but all they did was set her free and he gave them just one sample committed and that is to make sure that no one comes in or out of the castle but they disobeyed him and now they are getting punished for it. Anyway back to Bowser he was staring straight at Felicia and said welcome home my sweet child the worst is yet to come hahahahahah" said Bowser as he was laughing so loud that everyone in the area can hear it even Ash and Felicia heard someone was laughing but they didn't know where the laugh was coming from or who was laughing.

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

Meanwhile, outside of the castle Ash, Felicia, and the Pikachu were right in front of the bridge trying to figure out how to get across without getting burned. When they got there Ash and Felicia heard a loud laugh but they have no idea where it was coming from but all they know was that it was very loud. With the Pikachu trying to figure out how to get across the bridge without getting burned because the lava on the bridge is making it very hot to walk on especially if those that are not wearing shoes like the Pikachu and Felicia. " wow when we came here before I didn't think the bridge will be this hot" said Pikachu, as he stepped on one the rocks when he did his foot, was set on fire which only lasts for a second. Cause he was blowing it away and once he took the fire out he ran back over to the group.

So after Pikachu stepped on one of the bricks on the bridge and burned his foot and ran back to the group but the only one that was paying attention to him was Rosemary because Ash and Felicia heard someone laughing and they were trying to figure out where the laugh was coming from. So anyway when Rosemary was helping Pikachu. Ash asked anyone if they heard someone laughing and the only one that heard it was Felicia. " I did and it sounded like it was coming from the castle," she said curiously. " Will that is not important right now. We have to get across this bridge if I am ever going to get back to my room before any of my father's guards sees me. Said Felicia. " don't worry Felicia if anyone sees us I will take care of them," Said Ash as he rubbed her on the shoulder to comfort her. Felicia just thanked him and went back on figuring out how are they going to get across the bridge without burning themselves. Then everyone started to look around to see if they can find some ideas that can help them to get across but when they were figuring it out a plan . Ash came up with an idea cause since he is the only one that is wearing Shoes this gave him an idea. " hey I have an idea, Pikachu and Rosemary I want you guys to get on my shoulders, and Felicia I am going to carry you across because I am the only one that is wearing protected shoes on". He said as he picked up Felicia bridely style. When everyone got in the positions where Ash wanted them. Then Ash started to run across the bridge as fast as he can. When he got to the end of the bridge he gently placed Felicia on the ground. After Ash placed Felicia on the ground the Pikachu decided to stay on Ash's shoulders for the rest of the trip. Once they got to the end of the bridge they realized that they were getting close to the castle now but the only thing that they have to do now is to look for Felicia's bedroom which means they have to find the tree where they climbed down from before. But once they realize that they were so close Pikachu asked " so what do we do now". " will we need to find that tree where we climb from because on top of It is Felicia's bedroom. Said Ash sadly cause he was having so many thoughts that were coming through his head but there is one thing that is bothering him the most and that is what is going to happen to Felicia when she gets inside that castle and will she be safe all of these questions all have something to do with Felicia going back to the castle and he does not even know if he is doing the right thing. The Pikachu can sense that Ash was stressed out and they knew exactly why. So to comfort him they just patted him on the head. He just smiled at them and gave them a scratch on the head for saying thank you for being there for him. As they were trying to cheer each other up Felicia was walking ahead of them and also had things on her mind. What is on her mind is what that woman told her that there is more to her than what she thinks and she didn't know what she meant by that. She is also upset because she will have to go back to the dark place that she is known for and she didn't want to go back. She wanted to stay out much longer and see more great things outside this castle and that is not all she also didn't want to leave her friends but she knows that she has to because she has to help Groompa and Kroopa. She was having these thoughts when they were looking around the castle for her bedroom and once they get to that tree it will be time for them to say goodbye forever.

Back to Ash and Rosemary, they can sense that Felicia was feeling sad as well. So she turned to look at Ash to make sure that it will be okay if she can go check-up on her. Ash just nodded his head and said go on ahead. Then after that Rosemary hopped from Ash's shoulder to Felicia's. When she got on her shoulder she nuzzled against Felicia's face.

Felicia just giggled and patted Rosemary on the cheek. " I know you are upset about going home, but just remember we will always be with you even when we are apart," said Rosemary.

" Thanks, Rosemary it is just that there is still so much that I want to see and I don't want it to end like this " Felicia cried.

Ash and Pikachu we're overhearing the girl's conversation. Ash was feeling the same way as well. So he walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder then she turned around and hugged Ash and begin to cry in his chest. " it's going to be okay Felicia. You have to be strong and I know that you are. You just have to believe in yourself and just remember I will always be here to protect you" said Ash as he was doing the best he could to cheer her up.

Felicia stopped crying and just looked up at Ash and Rosemary and knew that they were right and she is not going to help her friends if she keeps on stopping so she turned back to them and said that they were right I just have to believe in myself and me being afraid about the unknown is not going to solve anything. So come on I have to save my friends. after all, they have done for me. I can not let them down. It does not matter what my father is going to do to them. I will help them no matter what and thank you all for your support and thank you for cheering me up. I couldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for you all and I just want to say thank you for this amazing day.

Ash and the Pikachu we're happy to see Felicia feel better but still, she is still upset about going home. But she knows her friends will always be there for her even when they will never see her again. She will save her friends and will face whatever punishment her father decides to give her. " also whatever happens we will be there. Now come on we better get you home" said Ash as he grabbed her by the hand as they were searching for the tree that leads to Felicia's room.

As they continued to walk around the castle they saw a tree that was right next to a window and they knew that it has to be Felicia's room. " There it is my bedroom," she said as she held close to Ash. but then she took a deep breath and turned to look at him. " Will I guess that this is it I suppose". He said. " I just can't believe after we been through it all ends here," said Felicia as she cried and buried her face into his chest. Ash just patted her on the back and told her that everything is going to be alright.

But that is what they do not know it is not going to be alright pretty soon. When they were next to the tree Bowser was watching them and he is just about ready to set a trap and couldn't wait to make Felicia's life more miserable than it already is. " pretty soon my darling you will feel what is like when someone disobeys king Bowser and say goodbye to your precious prince will you can my dear cause the worst is yet to come " he says as he laughed evilly again as he was watching Felicia and Ash hug each other one last time. Then the couple let go of each other and look at the window that was right in front of them as they were holding each other close but We will see how Ash and Felicia will say goodbye to each other in the next chapter. This chapter has to be the hardest one yet. Will I hope you like this chapter? The next chapter is already in the making and we will see how Bowser is going to punished Felicia and we will see how Ash and Felicia will say goodbye to each other.
