?

"So, this is how it's gonna be?"

"We don't have choice, we were careless. Now look at this."

"He must be biding his time planning after his defeat and now we fall for it."

"Please, forgive us."


Mario's House

On the west of Peach's Castle lies a humble house. But it's not just any house, it's the home of Mushroom Kingdom famous heroes The Mario Bros, today was supposed to be just another peaceful day but then...

"Mario ! We got-a-mail."

The voice comes from a moustached man wearing white gloves, green hat and clothes with blue overall calling out to his brother holding 2 letters in his hand. It's Luigi, Mario's younger brother. Mario appears to be wearing the same thing Luigi does except he wears red rather than green, and while Luigi is on a tall and slim side, Mario is on the shorter and chubby side.

"Is it from-a-Peach?" Asked Mario.

"I don't-a-know let's open it." Reply Luigi.

Mario and Luigi opens the letter and begin reading it.

You are invited to Kong Isle to celebrate Cranky Kong's birthday party this weekend at the shores of Kong Isle, we hope you'll be there, signed DK.

"DK ? Could it-a-be from Donkey Kong?" Ponder Luigi. "And the Kong family wants us to be there ?"

"Well I'm not-a-surprised we did go a way back." Said Mario.

"So will you-a-go?" Ask Luigi.

"Of-a-course." Answer Mario. "We haven't seen each other for a while, it-a-be nice to see them again and catch up to old times."

As Mario said that Luigi ponders a bit how Mario can befriend someone who caused a lot of trouble for him in the past, but seeing Mario and Cranky already buried the hatchet long ago he brushes the thought off. With that Luigi also agreed to come to accompany Mario wherever he goes and also because he also a friend to the Kong family.


Mushroom Kingdom - Peach Castle

It was a peaceful day at the Mushroom Kingdom where everyone enjoy their lives freely and peacefully under the rule of Princess Peach. But this time it seems that there's a surprise in store for the princess.

"And that's the last of it" said Peach relieved that her work for the day has finished.

While Peach is trying to take a break, there's someone entering the audience chamber where Peach currently there, it was a short humanoid looking mushroom man with grey mustache carrying a stick and he looks like an elderly man.

"Oh what's the matter Toadsworth ?" Said Peach.

"I received a letter addressed to you princess." Said Toadsworth. "It seems Mario and Luigi receive the same letter as you did, that's what the Lakitu Info Center staff said".

"Oh they got it too? I wonder what it said ?" Peach opens the mail and start reading it.

You are invited to Kong Isle to celebrate Cranky Kong's birthday party this weekend at the shores of Kong Isle, we hope you'll be there, signed DK.

"So the Kong family is having a party and you're invited princess." Said Toadsworth. "It has been a while you all see one another."

"That's right." Reply Peach. "And this weekend must be day after tomorrow, I better inform Mario about tomorrow's plan, Toadsworth please watch the castle while I'm away."

"Of course princess leave it all to me ! Everything will be fine under my watch, so please go have fun, you deserved it after all the work you have done." Assured Toadsworth.

While Peach and Toadsworth discussing about their plans, someone else also enter the audience chamber, this time it looks like yellow sphere with a small star on top of her head, a tiny feet and black beady eyes. Of course it's someone Peach and Toadsworth also recognize.

"It's Starlow what are you doing here?" Ask Toadsworth.

"Sorry to come in unannounced but is everything all right here?" Asked the Star Sprite.

"Yes, things are fine right now, Bowser haven't made another attempt to invade, and there's haven't been any suspicious activities inside and outside of the kingdom, why?" Asked Peach in confusion.

"Well, the elder Star Sprites seems to have uneasy feelings lately and I just wonder if something happened." Answered Starlow.

"If something happened I did get invited to Cranky Kong birthday." Said Peach.

"Oh, is that all? Maybe I was just overreacting." Starlow said relieved.

"You know Starlow, why don't you go with Peach to Kong Isle." Suggest Toadsworth. "If the Star Sprites have a bad feeling I think it would be unwise to just brush it off. Besides the Mario Bros will be there and should Bowser or anyone attack, Peach won't be here at the very least."

"Well, you have a point there Toadsworth, and I do like to meet the famous Kong family, even their reputation reach us Star Sprites. Will it be okay princess?" Ask Starlow.

"The invitation allow us to bring guest so yeah, of course you can come Starlow." Answered Peach.

"All right then i guess I'll see you all the day after tomorrow." Said the Star Sprite.

"We leave in the morning so don't be late okay." Said Peach.

After that Starlow leave Peach's Castle and go back home and while the three of them having that conversation they don't realize that someone is watching them.


Outside Peach's Castle

Day after tomorrow

Outside Peach Castle stood a large pink airplane ready to bring Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Starlow on board to Kong Isle.

"All right I guess everyone is already here." Said Peach.

"I can't-a-believe you're also invited Princess Peach." Said Mario.

"Well after all those sports competition and games we have one after another I'm sure we're all friends with each other and I'm a friend to the Kong's as much as you are Mario." Answered Peach.

"Yes you're-a-right, all right let's go then."

As Mario said that he entered the Toad Express and the plane is ready to take off, everyone from the Mushroom Kingdom waving at their Princess and heroes as they depart to Kong Isle which is quite far from the Mushroom Kingdom.


What Peach referring to by sports competition and games are the Mario spin off games such as Mario Sports, Karts, and Party series where DK is one of the playable characters and how he and Mario have a friendly rivalry towards one another.
