Hi everyone! Here's a new chapter! I hope you all like it!

Luke really loved how the sand felt. He giggled as he grabbed a handful of it and let it pour out of his hand. Luke sat on the ground and began to play with the sand some more. It was getting hotter each second that passed, but Luke still wanted to play. After a few minutes, Luke dropped another handful of sand and began to crawl around the desert world.

A few Hefty Goombas and Pokeys noticed him and tried to stop him, but Luke continued to crawl around.

"Wait! Come back, Prince Lucas!" A Hefty Goomba called out. Luke giggled and crawled faster.

The Goombas ran, trying to catch up to him.

Ludwig and Jasmine arrived in Layer-Cake Desert and looked around the area. Ludwig frowned, not seeing their son.

"I don't see Lucas anywhere. Do you?" He asked.

"No..." Jasmine sighed.

"He's gotta be around here somewhere!" Ludwig said.

The two continued to fly around the area, still not spotting their son. As they flew, Jasmine noticed something on the ground.

"Luddy! Land the Clown Car for a second!"

"Uh alright." Ludwig did what she said and landed the Clown Car.

Jasmine hopped out and walked near a tree. She gasped when she saw the baby bottle in the sand. Jasmine picked it up and ran back to Ludwig.

"Luke definitely was here! He shouldn't be too far from here!" Jasmine grinned.

"You're right, Jasmine! Come on! Maybe he's still somewhere in the desert!" Ludwig replied.

Jasmine hopped inside of the Clown Car and the two flew around, hoping to see their baby somewhere soon.

"Prince Lucas! Please wait!" A Fire Bro called out. Unfortunately, Luke didn't listen. Wanting to explore more, the young prince continued to crawl away. He smiled when he saw a green warp pipe up ahead.

Luke made his way to the warp pipe, crawled on top of it, and fell inside. The Fire Bro made it to the pipe after Luke went through it and rested his hand on it, trying to catch his breath.

"Man...How is that little guy so fast?" The Fire Bro wondered. He sat down against the pipe, needing to rest for a few minutes.

Once Luke was on the other side, he smiled. He recognized the many Toad houses, shops, and other buildings when his mother brought him there for a visit. Luke never got to explore the Mushroom Kingdom before, but now he could! Luke began to crawl around Toad Town and look around, since no one was around. Everyone seemed to be in their homes or shops today.

Luke loved the flowers that he saw around the kingdom. He especially loved the few Jasmines he came across, since he's seen Ludwig give Jasmine those a few times. As he explored the area, he heard a few voices up ahead. Curious, Luke crawled near a tree. Once he was near the tree, Luke smiled. He saw Luigi, Daisy, Mario, Peach, and Arturo, Mario and Peach's 3 year old son.

The brothers and princesses talked as they headed back to the castle. As the adults were distracted, Arturo looked around, admiring the kingdom. Then, he gasps.

"Mom! Dad! Look!" Arturo said.

"What is it, sweetie?" Peach asked.

"Over there!" Arturo replied, pointing to a tree. Peach gasped.

"I-Is that Luke?" Luigi asked.

Mario ran over to the baby Koopa and picked him up.

"Hey there, little guy! What are you doing here?" Mario said. Luke giggled and tried to grab Mario's hat.

"Wow! He crawled all the way from Darkland?" Daisy wondered.

"I guess so. Let's bring him inside the castle." Peach replied.

"Come on, Luke. We'll let your mama and papa know you're here." Mario smiled at the little Koopa. Luke pulled his mustache and laughed in response.

There's gonna be one more chapter after this! Honestly, whenever my writing skills improve, I'm gonna rewrite this and some of my other stories. They could be better. Well, I hope you all have a great day today!
