Now that Felicia and Mario had found each other what is going to happen to them now? This is what this chapter is going to be about. This will also be the chapter where Felicia gets to meet her uncle and her father. Let's see how she will get along with her new family. What is going to happen to Ash? Now that his mission is over what is going to do now? Let's hope those good things happen to him in the future. But all he knows is that he does not want to return to his old life. He wants to spend the rest of his life with Felicia. Pikachu does not want to live Rosemary too. So let's get the show on the road. So on your mark get set read.

When the fight was over and after Kroopa and Groompa left. Felicia turned to look at Ash. When she saw him she ran up to him with joy to see if he wasn't hurt. When Felicia ran up to him he picked her up and spin her around and was happy to see her safe and sound. " Ash are you alright," Felicia asked as she ran into his arms. " I am now," he said as he was about to lean his lips into hers but their moment was interrupted by Mario in tears. But when Ash and Felicia were about to kiss each other. Ash saw Mario right behind him and smiled, Ash knew after all of these years it was time for Felicia to return to her real father. So he took her by the hand and said " I think it is time for you to return to your real father that will love you no matter what." he said as they were about to walk over to Mario until Felicia remembered that this man was her real father so she let go of Ash's hand and ran towards her father so she can give him a long-lasting hug. Felicia and Mario had finally shared their first hug as father and daughter. " Felicia," Mario said in tears. So he reached out his arms so that he can hug her back. Once he got a good look at her he can tell that this girl was indeed his daughter she had brown hair and she has her mother's beautiful blue eyes.

When Ash and Felicia were done with their hug. They walked over to Mario but when they were about to get closer to him at first Felicia was nervous about meeting him thanks to Ash giving her a bit of confidence she felt better about meeting her real father. So Felicia ran up to Mario and said " Are you, my real father? I can't believe after all these years I have finally found you all this time I thought that monster was my father and now I know for a fact that you are my father and I am so happy to finally meet you. " Felicia said as she ran over to her real dad and gave him a huge hug "oh yes Felicia, my name is Mario and I am your real father I can't believe I have finally found you after all of these years you have no idea how much I and your mother have been worried about you and oh mamma mia your mother she is not even going to believe that this is our missing daughter, oh my darling you have no idea how hard we been looking for you we have looked everywhere and we haven't stop until now and we are so excited to bring you home and just wait until your mother sees you she is going to be in tears once she sees you, I and your mother haven't stop thinking or looking for you and now I can only imagine how your mother is going to react once she sees you and you do look a lot like your mother". Said Mario as he gave her another hug back.

"oh dad I've been waiting for this moment all of my life as well. I can't wait to meet my mom, but dad who is that" she asked as she looked at Luigi. Then Luigi walked up to Mario and Felicia. He was also in tears too and said " I am your uncle Luigi and you have no idea how much we missed you. You were a baby and now you are a beautiful and strong young lady you have probably gotten your straight from your father and you must have gotten your beauty from your mother" Said Luigi as he held back a tear. Then he join in on the hug as well then soon Mario, Luigi, and Felicia was hugging each other. They realize someone was missing from their hug they looked at Ash and reached out their arms so that they can pull him into the hug too. As Ash was getting pulled into the hug. He couldn't stop thinking about his future and now that his mission is over what is he going to do now? He thought to himself as everybody shared a group hug,

Right before they got pulled into a hug, Ash and the Pikachu just smiled at the friendly reunion and were happy that Mario and Felicia found each other but now that his work is done what is he going to do now? What he wants to do is spent the rest of his life with Felicia but he keeps on thinking to himself now that she has a family that loves her. He was afraid now that Felicia has found her family she will forget all about him and the times that they spent together. He also didn't want to spend the rest of his life alone again. These were the thoughts that were running through his head.

But he decided not to worry about that right now because he didn't want to ruin the family moment. So he decided to focus on that when they get back to the Mushroom kingdom cause this is supposed to be a happy moment, not a sad one. So after Ash was out of his thoughts he continued to watch the happy moment with the Pikachu that was standing right next to him.

. So After Everyone got their long-lasting hugs. Everybody left the ruined castle but before they could leave Felicia took one last look at her old home before she was about to leave with her family. Ash came up behind her and said " don't be upset this is what you have been waiting for I know that you are going to miss this place but now you don't have to worry about anyone hurting you anymore. " he said to her. Felicia just looked up at him and said you are right it is just that it feels so weird now that I am no longer a prisoner anymore. I just want to know what is going to happen now. I just going to miss this place I may have hated living here but it was my home" She said to him. Ash was quite right after she said that cause it is the same feeling that he is feeling right now. She is afraid of the unknown just like he is " I know but don't worry about the past look towards the future that you will have with a family that will love you no matter what," Ash said as he turn to look at Mario and Luigi who were waiting. " Your right Ash that was the past and this is the future that I've been waiting for all of my life. so come on let's go to my kingdom. I can't wait to see what else the future has in store for me. " She said as she ran up to Mario as they started to leave the area and headed towards the same forest that Ash and Felicia took to get to the mushroom kingdom on Felicia's birthday.

As they were walking Ash couldn't stop thinking about his future he was thinking about this as they were walking away from Bowser's castle.

Felicia notice that something was wrong with Ash so she went over to him to see what was the matter but he just kept on saying that it is nothing. Even though he should be happy because Felicia is finally going to be with her real parents that will love her and he finally finished his job. But Felicia knew that Ash was not fine so she decided to brush it off until they get back to the mushroom kingdom and meet her mother who is going to burst out into tears once she sees how beautiful and how long she has been waiting for this day. But Felicia was not the only person that noticed that Ash was not acting like himself. Mario can tell that something was bothering him as well. but he also decided to wait until they get back to the mushroom kingdom too because Mario wants Felicia to meet her mother. So when they were walking Felicia couldn't wait to meet the mother that she's been longing to meet.

Mario couldn't wait to get to the mushroom kingdom because he wants to see Peach's face once they have found their daughter. She is going to be so happy once she meets Felicia. But Ash was still upset about his future, which has been going throw his mind when they were on their way to the mushroom kingdom. But he is happy that Felicia is finally free and reunited with her mother and father.

As they were walking Felicia was getting along with her father and her uncle very well. Mario also agreed with Ash that she is amazing. So as they were on their way back.

As Mario, Luigi and Felicia were walking ahead of Ash. Rosemary didn't know why Ash was so upset. So she and Pikachu decided to come up with some ideas that will cheer Ash up.

So after many hours of walking and trying to cheer Ash up. Nothing seemed to be working. They tried doing some funny dances. They even tried putting on a show for him but it was not working. So both of them just climbed on his shoulder and asked him what was the matter and why is he so upset even though there is no reason for him to be upset.

" Hey Ash what's wrong, why are you upset? We have tried everything to cheer you up. So what is going on?" Rosemary asked him.

Ash just signed and said well I am just worried about what is going to happen to me now. Now that Felicia has found her parents what is left for me and I am scared that I might never see her again. I am just afraid of the unknown. I also do not want to leave Felicia. What if she forgets all of the good stuff that we have been through together Ash said to the Pikachu. I am in love with her and I just don't want to go on with my life without her Ash finished. After listening to Ash Pikachu was also starting to understand why his best friend is so upset and he agreed with him he is right, now that their job is over what are they going to do now?

Then Rosemary walked over to Pikachu and started to comfort him and also had some tears in her eyes after listening to ash on how much he cared about Felicia. " will maybe the future might not be so bad cause you never know what the future will bring. Let's just see what happens when we get to the mushroom kingdom it might be something exciting. Don't think like that, you guys. I am sure whatever happens to Felicia she will love you Ash no matter what and I am sure she is not planning to leave us anytime soon.

" you really think so Rosemary" Ash asked as he picked her up and started to hug her.

"I know so, and I know that she loves you the same way so don't be so hard on yourself and always look at the bright sight of things. Now come on let me see that handsome smile and we have to catch up with them before we get lost" Rosemary finishes as she went out of Ash's arms and climbed on his shoulder. Then Ash ran up to catch up with the others.

When he got to them he was all out of breath from running so fast. Felicia and Mario were worried about him " there you are Ash we were wondering what happened to you. Is everything alright" said Felicia as she and Mario went up to him as they were trying to help him. " oh yeah I'm fine now. I just had a lot on my mind but it's all over now. Cause I got a little help, Now come on Felicia let's take you home " he said as he turned to look at Rosemary.

" Woah Mamma Mia as long you are alright Ash that is all that matters Let a go home we are almost there I can sense it. I can't wait to see Peach I missed her so much" said Mario. " not as much as I missed Daisy" Luigi pointed out. As they were making their journey back home Felicia couldn't wait to meet the rest of her family. Not only she is excited about meeting her mom she is also excited to meet her aunt as well. So anyway as they were walking back to the mushroom kingdom. Everyone couldn't wait to get home but what they did not know is that they just missed a party for Yoshi. Then again Ash is still wondering about his future but he knows, that whatever happens, it is for the best, As they were walking Felicia and Mario have been getting to know each other. Felicia couldn't wait to see what her future will bring to her and her family and she can't wait to spend it with the ones that truly love her and know that she will never be hurt again. So as everybody was heading back to the mushroom kingdom everyone couldn't wait to get back, especially Mario and Felicia who couldn't wait to see how Peach will react once she meets her long-lost daughter has come home. Not only that Mario might have a surprise for Ash as well and it is something that could change his life forever.

Now with Felicia getting along with her father and uncle let's see what is going on back at the mushroom kingdom. So as they were making their way through the forest Mario and the others couldn't wait to greet all of the toads and they are going to be so surprised to see them, especially the person that they brought back with them. The person that they have been dying to meet all of their lives. We will see how the toads will react right after we check up on what is going on with Peach and her friends waiting for them back at Peaches Castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~Back in Peaches Castle~~~~~~~~~~~~~

back at the mushroom kingdom Castle, Peach was back in her thrown room tired from her day of partying with her friends and unaware of what is about to happen. As she was sitting on her thrown Yoshi came to lay right next to her cause he was tired too and he can't stop worrying about how Mario and Luigi were doing on their mission and hoping that nothing bad happened to them. Yoshi was not the only one that was worried about Mario. Peach was starting to get worried herself and hoped that Ash and Mario found each other and she also felt bad that she throw two parties without the Mario bros by her side. But she does know that they are out there and has no idea that they are on their way home with a special surprise for her. So as Peach was in her thrown room with Yoshi who was sitting right next to her. She was very tired from all of the parties that she has been throwing. So today she just decided to just relax for a while until she hears anything about Mario bros. So she decided to take a nap on her thrown who was resting her head in her arms. When Peach was taking a nap Yoshi decided to see what Daisy and the toads were doing it looks like they were cleaning up after the party and he wanted to help out as well,

Meanwhile as Peach was resting in her throne room. Daisy, Yoshi, and the toads decided to clean up what is left of the party and they knew that Peach was tired so they didn't bother to ask her if she would want to help them. So Daisy made sure everything was clean by the time Peach was done with her nap. She wanted to surprise her friend with how much she had cleaned up and she didn't want Peach to think that she needed to do something so Daisy made sure that everyone was cleaning and had a job, But most of the toads were not happy with Daisy being in charge because she is very bossy and she gives everyone a hard time.

They understand how much Daisy wanted to surprise Peach but no one is going to get anything done unless everyone helps and that includes Daisy. So As Daisy was telling everybody what to do one of the toads walked up to her and asked her why wasn't she cleaning". He asked her. " Will Toad that is because I am the supervisor and it is my job to make sure that everything is perfect and I want to get this done before Peach wakes up. So stop talking and start working she shouted at the toad. " We will get everything done much faster if everyone helped and that includes you Daisy who said you can boss us around like this? " Toad said back to her. Then he turned to the rest of the toads and told them to stop working. Then all of them stopped what they were doing and just stared at Daisy and the toad that told them to stop working.

" Hey what are you guys doing we have no time for you all to be lazy we have to get this place cleaned before Peach wakes up" Daisy reminded them.

" We will continue to clean unless you help us Daisy and bossing us around is not going to get us anywhere. So we are not going to clean unless everyone is included," Toad said as he hands her a bloom. She just grab the broom out of his hand as she growl once the toad gave it to her, Then Yoshi and all of the toads all started to clean up on what was left of the party as Peach was taking a nap in her throne room.

" oh alright everybody let's make this place clean before Peach wakes up I am sure she is going to be so surprised that we did this for her," Said, Daisy. Then all of them got right to work on cleaning the place. Back in the throne room Peach was still sound asleep on her thrown as she was dreaming about all of the fun stuff that she wants to do with her daughter and Mario and they were having fun together as a family. Hopefully, her dream is about to come true and Mario is on his way back with a huge surprise

~~~~~on the way back to the mushroom kingdom~~~~~~

So with everyone cleaning up the castle and Peach taking a nap on her thrown with everything that is going on in the castle. Back in the mushroom kingdom forest Mario and the gang or almost at the mushroom kingdom. They have been traveling for a very long time but it was worth it because Mario and Luigi started to get to know Felicia more. Ash and the Pikachu loved how much Felicia was getting along with her father and uncle. After what Rosemary said to him about thinking positive he knows what he wants to do for his future all he has to do is think on the bright side and everything will turn out fine for him and maybe he might even stay in the mushroom kingdom with Felicia and the rest of her family who knows what the future will bring.

All they have to do is get back to the mushroom kingdom, but he knows that his parents would be very proud of him for all his accomplishments.

he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Mario calling his name as they were walking because he wanted to thank him for all he had done because if he had never told him that Bowser was the one that took his daughter she could be in huge trouble. So After Mario rubbed him on the shoulder it got him out of his thoughts and noticed that Mario wanted to talk to him. So he said that he is very grateful for what he has done and he promises that he will be rewarded as soon as they get to the castle." Said Mario but Ash didn't hear him until Mario rubbed him on the shoulder which got him out of his thoughts and turned to look at Mario as he rubbed the back of his head. " Oh sorry Mario, I was just daydreaming so what was it that you wanted to tell me?" Ash asked him as he was walking right next to him. " I just wanted to thank you for what you have done if you didn't tell me that Bowser was the one that took my daughter all those years ago. She would be in so much trouble and I promise that you will be rewarded as soon as we get to the castle. Mario finished. '' Oh there is no need to give me a reward Mario, the only thing that I want is to see that Felicia is safe and happy, that is all I ever ask for," he said to him. " I sure she is and you were right about her she is one of a kind and I can see how much you felt for her it is the same way how I felt about Peach and every time I look at her I feel like I am looking at Peach as well she really does have her mothers beautiful blue eyes and I am sure that she is happy now. So are you sure you don't want a reward, you deserve it for doing all that work," Mario asked him. " I am sure Mario I don't need one, but there is one thing that I would like to have" Ash was about to ask until they were interrupted by Luigi who was calling out to them that he can see the mushroom kingdom and that they are almost there. Luigi yelled out to them. Mario told Ash he can ask him when they get to the castle.

So Mario and Ash ran up to Luigi and Felicia who were standing on top of the same hill that Ash and Felicia stood on when they first came to the mushroom kingdom on her birthday. When Felicia saw the mushroom kingdom again she can feel the memories running back into her head again. " oh my goodness I can feel the memories coming back to me now oh I will never forget that day when I first came here and now it is going to be my home forever. I can't wait to see all of those people again they are going to be so surprised to learn that I am their princess that they have been looking for all this time " Felicia said as she held her hands with joy.

Then Mario walked up to Felicia and asked her to wait a minute you been to the mushroom kingdom before Mario asked Felicia.

" yes I have, I came here with Ash for my birthday because I was so curious about this glowing light that seems to appear only on my birthday and I wanted to see it in person, So he decided to take me to this special place so that we can get a better look at it and I swear dad it was the most beautiful place that I have ever seen in all of my life. She said as she looked at her father. Then Mario turned to Ash and said " Wait you were here with Felicia for her birthday why didn't you take her back to the castle" he asked Ash as he was getting nervous. " will the reason why I didn't take her back to the castle was that I didn't know she was the lost princess at the time, Sorry Mario" Ash finished as he lowered his head,

Mario came up to Ash and placed a hand on his shoulder and said " oh it's alright Ash no harm done will we are here now and that is all that matters that was the past and this is now and forever so come on lets a go we are almost there he said as he grabbed Felicia by the hand as he jumped for joy and ran towards the entrance to the mushroom kingdom with Ash and Luigi following after them.

So as Felicia and her family got into town Felicia couldn't believe that this place is going to be her home now "oh my gosh I can't believe I am back here and now this time I am staying here forever said Felicia as she was walking through the streets of the mushroom kingdom with Mario, Luigi and Ash slowing following close behind her " oh look at her guys, I am so happy to see her like this" Said Mario but no one was answering him until he noticed that Luigi was getting a little freaked out by the toads staring at them. " uh guys I think we should head to the castle now cause everyone is staring at us and it is really scaring me said, Luigi. Ash and Mario walked over to him. Then Ash told him " oh there is no need to be scared Luigi they are just happy to see us and not to mention they are just shocked to see their lost princess has returned to her kingdom Ash explained to him as they were waving to the toads that were staring which the Pikachu and Mario started to wave at the toads too. Then Mario jumped in and said " Yeah Luigi they are just happy to see us since we have not been seen in such a long time so you can understand why they are staring at us" Mario pointed out. After listening to Mario and Ash, he started to feel a little better about the toads staring at them and just decided to wave at them as well and said " Will if you put it that way then I am really happy to see all of these toads too and its great to be home, especially after going through that tough battle that we just did and pretty soon I get to see Daisy again" Luigi said dreamily as he was thinking about Daisy waiting to give him a huge kiss once she sees him.

Soon enough they reach the entrance to the mushroom kingdom all of the toads were so happy to see Mario and Luigi have come back to their adventure safe and sound but they were way overjoyed once they saw Felicia and they kept on whispering to one other about her being Mario's and Peaches long lost daughter. Once the toads noticed Felicia they all cheered for joy now that their lost princess has finally returned to her loving family they couldn't wait until Peach sees her and she does look a lot like Peach. So one Toad came up to Mario and asked " Hey Mario is this beautiful girl your daughter? Oh, she looks just like her mother, and thank goodness you came back Peach has been wondering sick about you and I also see that Explorer Ash has found you too. He asked as tears were running down his cheeks. Mario said yes this is my daughter and thank you for telling me toad we are on our way to see her right now. He said as he was about to walk off until the toad stopped him and asked um Mario before you go can you at less let us get to know your daughter before you show her to Peach this is the first time meeting your daughter. Wow, I can't believe how beautiful she is ". Mario just signed caused he really wanted to see Peach but he understands their reason so he let them get to know Felicia for only a few minutes and then they will head to the castle so that Felicia can meet her mother. So After Mario told Ash and Luigi about it they said it was fine with them as well but they do have to make it quick because Mario and Luigi really do miss their wives.

Once Mario said yes then all of the toads came up to Felicia and give her warm hugs. Then all of them were so happy that the lost princess has been found everyone in the town was coming over to her so that they can meet and greet her. When the Toads and Toadettes ran up to her with tears of joy in their eyes they were getting hugs and kisses. From Felicia who just laughed and gave all of them a kiss on their heads and told them that she is happy to be home and can't wait to be their new princess." She told them as she was hugging a Toad.

When Felicia was meeting everyone in the town. Some of them even came up to the boys too and told them how much they are so happy to have their new princess back and Felicia will be the perfect ruler of the mushroom kingdom. Mario felt grateful that everyone loved his daughter.

Then there was one toad that came up to them and asked how did they find her. So Mario and Luigi just turned to look at Ash so that he can explain how they found her cause after all he was the one that found her in the first place.

"Will Toad I am not the one that found her. It was Ash who was the real person who found her and if it wasn't for him. I wouldn't have found her either so if there is anyone you should be thanking that will be Ash" said Mario as he and Luigi just turned to look at Ash.

Then the toad looked at Ash and asked him the same question that he asked Mario how did he find her. " will it will be a long story about how I found her but I will explain everything when we get back to the castle cause I need to tell the story in front of everyone. So I will tell you how I found the princess when we get back to the castle." Ash said to the Toad and he just said okay and went back to Felicia so that he can get a hug from her.

After everyone got their hugs and kisses it was time for everyone to head to the castle. After they got out of the town they were on their way to the castle. At first, Felicia was happy that she is finally home but another side of her is nervous about meeting her mother cause she doesn't know if her mom will even like her but she stopped worrying once they got to the castle. She couldn't believe how big and beautiful it was. " oh my gosh is this place going to be my new home it's so big and beautiful. I can't believe I am going to live in a castle like this. I feel like I am in a dream right now. It is so much different than the castle where I was living before. She said in shock. As turned to look at her father.

" yes this is going to be your new home now and I promise that the rest of your future is going to be perfect," Mario said to her. As they were walking up to the front door

But as soon as they were about to walk inside. The Mario Bros was helping Felicia get ready to meet her mother but before they were about to go inside. They noticed that Ash was missing. " wait guys we can't go in yet, where's Ash" said Felicia as she started to look around for Ash. Until they turned around and saw him walking away with a sad expression on his face. This caused Felicia and Mario to get worried about why he was leaving.

So Felicia ran after him with Mario following behind her. When Felicia and Mario caught up to him they were curious about where he was going and why he was leaving right now.

So Before Ash could make another step he felt someone grab his hand. He turned around and saw Felicia staring at him with Mario who was trying to catch up with them.

" wait up Ash where are you going? You can't leave me now I want to share this special moment with you and there is no one that I rather enjoy this moment with than you Ash," Said Felicia as she pulled him closer to her.

When Felicia caught up to Ash. Mario was right behind her.

" Hey, Ash what's going on I noticed that you are not acting like yourself. So what's going on," Mario asked.

Ash just looked down at the Pikachu and they told him that he should tell them how he felt so he took a deep breath and started to tell Mario and Felicia what was bothering him. Mario had a feeling that was the reason why he was upset but he didn't want to assume so he just waited for Ash to say it. So After telling them it made him feel a whole lot better. Now that he got it off his chest.

Ash looked at them and this is what he told them. " I'm sorry guys it's just that now that I found your daughter Mario and my mission is over. I am just afraid of what am I going to do now because I have nowhere to live and nowhere to go. I don't know if I should go back to the life that I had before I met you, Felicia, and I do not want to go back to that life". Ash finished.

After Ash was done with his story Mario remembered when they were in the woods. He was trying to tell him something but they were cut off by Luigi and he thinks that could be what he was trying to tell him earlier. So Mario thought about what Ash said and he was right he does not have a home and he didn't want Ash to be alone again. So Mario walked up to Ash. Started to tell him that he should have told him that he wanted to stay at the castle in the first place and he was going to surprise him but of course, he can't do anything without Peach's permission as well so he was happy that Ash just asked him because he didn't know how he was going to plan it. So Mario told him he will be more than happy to have Ash live with them as long as he takes good care of Felicia but he will not know for sure until they ask Peach.

Mario was just about to say something until Felicia spoke before he had the chance to tell him that "of course, you can stay with us and no matter what happens we will get through it together why didn't you tell us before and I am sure it will be okay with my dad" She said as she turned to look at Mario who was waiting for his turn to speak. " Will because I didn't want to ruin the family reunion that was why I didn't tell you guys before. I was about to tell Mario but Luigi called us before I got the chance to say anything" he said to them.

Mario was thinking about what Ash was telling them. So he came up to the couple and asked if he can talk to Ash for a second. Of course, Felicia didn't mind. So she waited on the sidelines so that Ash and Mario can finish talking. " Hey, Felicia will it be okay if I can talk to Ash alone?" Mario asked her. " oh of course dad," She said as she walked away,

After Felicia left Ash and Mario decided to have a little talk and this is what they were talking about. But right before they were about to talk Ash was starting to feel a little nervous because he was afraid that Mario was going to say that he can't live in the castle with them but that is when he is wrong. So when they were alone Mario was the first to talk. " hey Ash I know what you are going through and of course, I want to help you but you will have to wait until what Peach says to see if you are able to stay with us but I am sure that she is going to say yes and I was wondering why you were acting so strange on our way over here and now I understand why and that is you just wanted to find a place where you can be loved and I swear you have one with us. So yes you can come and live with us but remember I have to make sure it is okay with Peach". Said, Mario.

Ash was in tears of joy when he heard what Mario said. " Mario you really mean it. I can stay in the mushroom kingdom oh thank you Mario for understanding. I promise that you have made the right choice. This was the reward that I always wanted and now I have it. He said as he was cheering for joy now that he has a home to come back to every time he is done with Adventure he can always come home to the mushroom kingdom which is now it's going to be his forever home, not only that he has a place to live he even has someone to share those adventures with.

As Ash was right in the middle of cheering. Mario walked in front of him so that he can finish talking to him so he cut him off and said " of course Ash, It is the least we can do for all you have done for us. If this is what you want more than money then I say you got it cause you are the one that found my daughter in the first place so of course I am going to give you whatever you want But we have to make sure it is okay with Peach first and no matter what happens to you, Ash. You will always be a son to me even though we are friends," Mario said to him. Then Mario and Ash shared a hug. After they got their hug in they turned to Felicia so that she can join in on the hug as well.

After everyone got their hugs. Ash picked up the Pikachu and did a little happy dance with them but they were getting sick from all of the spins and twirls that he was doing.

The Pikachu tried to tell them to put them down but he was too excited to hear them.

On the sidelines, Mario and Felicia were happy to see that Ash was feeling better but they wished that he should have told them sooner. But they understand his reason he was just scared to tell them. Felicia was also more than happy now that Ash is going to be living with her and her family now. So after Ash calmed down he put the Pikachu on the floor and came over to Felicia so he can give her a huge kiss and said " Did you hear that Felicia we are going to be with each other forever, isn't that great" he said as he picked her up and spin her and planted a huge kiss on her lips. " Yes, it is really exciting and we can never be lonely and we will always be loved. Now that we got that out of the way let's go check up with uncle Luigi I bet he is wondering what was wrong with you too. So come on everyone let's go home and meet the rest of my family. Said Felicia as she jumped out of Ash's arms and pulled him in the direction of the castle as both of them were laughing all the way down the road and headed back to where they were. Mario and the Pikachu were smiling at the sight of how much Ash and Felicia liked each other. "They are pretty much the same person wouldn't you agree? I am really happy that Ash told us what was on his mind. Now that is over let's go I can't wait to see Peach." Said Mario as he and the Pikachu ran up to catch up with Ash and Felicia. " oh yes they are totally the same it is no wonder those two or perfect for each other. Just like we are right rosemary" Said Pikachu as he was running right next to her. " You are so right Pikachu. Now, let's catch up to them before we lose them," she says as they were running right behind Mario.

Finally, Mario and the Pikachu caught up to Ash and Felicia and they were right in front of the entrance of the castle as they were explaining everything that was going on with Ash earlier. Luigi was happy to see that Ash felt better about the whole thing and he also agreed with Mario that it is totally fine that he lives in the castle with you Peach and Felicia. But it is not a definite answer until he gets an okay from Peach cause after all it is not just Mario's castle. It is also Peach's castle so she has the final say if Ash can live in the castle with them or not.

" mamma mia I can't believe how fast they are but I am just happy that they made it back without any problems. I wonder what will Luigi say about Ash moving into the castle with us" Said Mario as he was walking up to the entrance where Ash and Felicia were talking to Luigi.

Luigi understood everything and thought it was a good idea that Ash stays at the castle with Mario, Felicia, and Peach. But Luigi thought it was supposed to be a surprise will it is too late now. Then he saw Mario right behind them and said " oh Mario I'm also happy that you came back. Ash was just telling me that you are letting him live with you guys. That is so nice of you." He said as everyone looked at Mario.

" oh it is no problem at all it's the least I can do for all he has done for us and I did say he will be rewarded. He said he wants nothing to do with money. So he told me what he wanted and that is a place where he knows that he is loved and I think this reward is worth getting more than any gold coin. Now we just need to know what Peach says. But first Felicia I think it is about time that you meet your mother" said Mario.

Felicia was so excited to finally meet her mom. But the boys wanted a special place where they can remember and Mario mentioned the country yard. Everyone agreed that was a great place for Felicia and Peach to meet. So Mario and Luigi took Ash and Felicia to the country yard and told them to stay there so that they can get their wives.

" I have a good idea how about we plan a special meeting place where Felicia and Peach will never forget," said Ash.

" that is a good idea. So does anybody have any good places where we can do this" asked Luigi?

" I know the perfect place where Felicia and Peach can meet how about we go to the country yard," said Mario.

" that's a great idea Mario and the perfect place where Felicia and Peach can meet," said Ash.

Then everyone thought that was a good idea. Then everyone made their way over to the country yard. When they got there Mario turned to Ash and Felicia and said would you guys mind staying here will me and Luigi get our wives" asked Mario.

" yes we can stay here until you get Daisy and Peach," said Ash.

" no problem dad we will stay right here until you get back with my mom," said Felicia.

Then Mario said great. Then he and Luigi left the room to go get Peach and Daisy.

When the Mario bros were in the hallway they couldn't stop talking about how excited they were to see their wives again.

Meanwhile back in the country yard. Felicia was starting to get really nervous about meeting her mom cause she doesn't know if her mom would even like her.

Ash can tell that she was nervous so he tried to do whatever he can to cheer her up. Nothing seemed to be working until he remembered what Rosemary told him. After he told her what Rosemary told him. Felicia felt a little comfortable about meeting her mom now. She just has to believe that everything is going to turn out the way that she wants it cause all she has to do is think positively and everything will turn out great for her. This is what Ash was telling her. After listening to that she felt a whole better after knowing all she has to do is just stay calm and positive and know for a fact that her new mom will love her. She just needs to wait until her father comes back to see what happens from there.

When the Mario bros left Ash turned to look at Felicia and noticed that she was nervous about something so he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her neck and said " hey what's wrong you should be happy. This is the moment that you been waiting for. You are finally going to meet your mother for the first time. You should be happy" he says as he kissed her on the cheek.

Felicia just signed and walked near a window and said " sorry Ash, I am happy. It's just that I am nervous about meeting my mom cause of what will happen if she doesn't like me. I am just afraid of what is going to happen that's all" she said as she turned around and looked up at him.

Ash understood she is just afraid of the unknown just like he was about staying with her and her family. So he decided to give the same advice that Rosemary gave him. So he came up to the window that she was at and placed a hand around her shoulder so he can comfort her. She looked up at him and noticed the tears in her eyes. Ash wiped it away with his finger and told her the same thing that Rosemary told him. : Come on Felicia there is no need to be nervous. I am sure she is going to be excited to meet you. After all, I don't think there is anyone in this world that will look actually like your mother more than you. I will be here with you for support so please do not be nervous. Just stay positive and everything will turn out fine that is what a little birdie told me now I want you to do the same. He said as he looked down at Rosemary who nodded back at him cause she was agreeing with him.

Felicia calmed down and gave Ash a huge hug and thanked him for giving her that advice. Then she looked up at him and said " Thanks Ash that means a lot to me and you're right you guys are going to be here so that nothing can't go wrong. I just have to stay calm and after all, she is my mom she will have to love me and I wonder if my dad will even explain to her why I have been missing all this time she asked.

"Don't worry Felicia I am sure Mario has it under control and if there is anyone that knows about the princess it's Mario and I bet that is going to be the first thing that he is going to tell her?" Said Ash. " Will let's just wait and see what happens that is all we can do right now?" Felicia said back to him thank you for giving me that amazing advice," she said to him. " I actually got a little help from that advice 'cause that was especially how I felt about staying with you and your family.. I really nervous about how my future was going to be and now I know what my future is going to be it is going to be an adventure of a lifetime and it's all because of you and everyone that has helped me throughout this adventure and now there will be a whole lot of adventures that will be waiting for us. Said Ash happily. Felicia and the Pikachu just laughed as Felicia walked up to him and told him " Hey Ash let's focus on finishing this adventure first and then we can focus on the adventures in the future once we get there right now let me meet my mom and then we can start planning our next adventure okay" She said to him as she gently kissed him on the lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck as she was speaking to him. " Sorry, Felicia I was just excited about the amazing future we are going to have that's all" Said Ash. " I know I'm excited too," She said as she giggled as both of them were hugging and laughing with each other.

As Felicia and Ash were having a nice moment with each other. The Pikachu was also getting cozy as well. They were so happy to see their trainers so happy to be with each other again and know for a fact that they will never be separated again. " Wow, Rosemary this was quite an adventure wasn't it," Pikachu asked Rosemary. " Yes it was and now we are about to head on a whole new adventure. I can't wait to meet Felicia's real mom I hope she is as sweet and kind as Felicia is if not I will have to give her a good thunderbolt if she makes her life worst than that monster has treated her". Said Rosemary as sparks were coming out of her cheeks showing that she will protect Felicia no matter what". Pikachu stopped her and told her that there is nothing to worry about he met this woman before and she is nice and sweet. Trust me once you meet her I am sure you and Felicia are going to love her". Said Pikachu. " Will thanks for telling me that Pikachu now I feel better now I know that you met her before so come on there is no time to waste I really hope that those men will hurry up I am so excited". Said Rosemary as she was jumping up and down which was making the window that Pikachu and she were sitting on. Pikachu was going to say something to her but Ash told him that it is fine that she is this excited which was getting everyone else excited at this point but no one is more excited to see Princess Peach than Felicia is. So After Ash and Felicia were done hugging and laughing at how cute their Pikachu was. They all decided to join the Pikachu who were on the window and Rosemary fanilly calmed down when they came to sit with them so they all decided to wait for Felicia's mom together

all of them can not wait until Peach gets there she is going to be so happy to finally meet her long-lost daughter that she has been missing for such a long time and now that time is over. What do you think is going to happen when Peach finally meets her daughter will she love her or will she hate her?
