Intrigued by the whole Bowsette thing, I thought it would be interesting to do a Ranma 1/2-style romantic comedy with the character as well as the other Super Mario Bros. characters. So I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: A Strange Intruder

In an open field within the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi were walking together beside an open field full of white flowers while a clear sunny sky shone down upon them and a calm breeze blew through their caps.

As Mario took in a deep breath, he said, "Ah, what a perfect day! Isn't it, Luigi?"

"Yeah, I guess so," Luigi replied, though he sounded nervous.

"What's the matter?" Mario asked, looking up at his younger brother who was significantly taller than him.

"Well, usually, when the weather is this nice…that's when Bowser attacks the castle and kidnaps Princess Peach," Luigi explained.

"Not to worry!" Mario insisted. "There's no way Bowser will attack, not after I left him stranded on the moon where he tried to forcefully marry Peach."

"But didn't she reject him?" When Mario nodded, Luigi added, "And you as well?"

This caused Mario to sigh in frustration. "Thanks for reminding me."

"Sorry," Luigi apologized.

"Anyway, let's check up on Peach just to make sure she's okay," Mario responded. Then he cupped his hands and shouted, "Yoshi!"

A strange noise followed, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps. Soon enough, the two brothers were approached by a large green dinosaur with a shell on its back.

"It's a good thing you were nearby, Yoshi," Mario remarked, addressing the green dinosaur. "We need to get to Peach's castle right away. Can you get us there quickly enough?"

Yoshi neighed in response.

"All right." Mario then got onto Yoshi's back while Luigi climbed on behind him. "Let's a-go!"

While Luigi held on to Mario, Yoshi ran along the road next to the field at incredible speeds until they reached a large golden castle. In front of it stood a small creature with a mushroom-shaped head that had red polka dots wearing a blue vest and white pants.

"Hello, Mario," the mushroom-headed creature greeted just as Mario and Luigi got off Yoshi.

"Nice to see you too, Toad," Luigi responded, irritated that he wasn't addressed too.

"Is Princess Peach around?" Mario said to the mushroom-headed creature.

"I believe so," Toad responded. "Follow me."

Inside the castle, Toad led Mario and Luigi across a foyer and up a flight of stairs till they reached a ballroom with a nearby balcony. There, the three of them found Princess Peach sitting at a glass table along with another creature that looked similar to Toad only this one wore a pink dress and had matching braids.

"Princess," Toad announced. "The Mario Brothers are here to see you."

"Thank you for bringing them here, Toad," Peach smiled. "You may go now."

Bowing his head, Toad walked away while the Mario Brothers stepped forward.

"So what brings you guys here?" The pink-haired Toad asked. "Is Bowser planning to attack the castle again or something?"

"Actually, Toadette, I wanted to disprove Luigi's fears about Bowser returning by checking up on Princess Peach," Mario answered.

"Oh, that's very thoughtful of you, Mario," Peach replied. "But today has been pretty normal for a change. In fact, Toadette and I were just about to have tea and cakes. Would you two care to join us?"

"Absolutely!" Mario and Luigi said in unison.

Elsewhere, Kammy Koopa was cackling as she observed Mario and Luigi sharing tea and assorted cakes with Peach and Toadette through a crystal ball.

"A normal day, eh?" Kammy remarked. "Wait until Bowser hears about this!"

"If he ever comes back," responded a turtle-like creature that was younger than Kammy who wore a blue robe instead of Kammy's purple one and round glasses as opposed to her horn-rimmed ones.

"Kamek!" Kammy snapped, bopping the younger Magikoopa on the head with her staff. "How dare you say that about our Lord! It's only been a week since he left after we retrieved him from the moon. I'm sure he'll be back any day now."

"I know, Kammy, but…the only reason he left was to find something to get back at Mario once and for all though he's been saying that for so many years. Doesn't he know when to give up?"

Before Kammy could raise her staff again, the sound of heavy footsteps caught their attention.

"That must be him," Kammy smirked and left the chamber she and Kamek were occupying before entering a dimly lit throne-room through a secret entrance.

Instead of Bowser, though, an unusually tall and slender figure stood wearing a large brown tarp that covered them from head-to-toe.

"Can I…help you?" Kammy asked cautiously.

"Kammy," the figure began, and lifted the tarp slightly. "You've got to help me."

An ear-piercing scream followed, causing Kamek to leave the chamber and enter the throne-room where he found Kammy lying on the floor with a shocked look on her face.

"What happened, Kammy?" Kamek demanded, kneeling down. "Speak to me!"

"B-Bowser…Peach…" Kammy murmured.

Then as Kammy fainted, Kamek frowned and went into the hallway outside the throne-room.

"Guards!" Kamek cried, addressing the nearby Koopa Troopas and Dry Bones. "Princess Peach just attacked Kammy Koopa and might be responsible for Bowser's recent absence! If you see anyone that looks like her in the castle, capture them!"

At once, the Koopas and Dry Bones took off in separate directions. After some of them passed down one hallway, the figure who addressed Kammy emerged from a hidden niche with the tarp completely covering them again.

"That was a big mistake," the figure muttered. "I should have known Kammy would react badly to this form, and now I'm running away from my own guards."

Making their way across the hallway, the figure pressed a block on the wall causing a secret passage to reveal itself. Then the figure slipped inside while the wall closed up behind them.

To be continued…
