Peach re-checked her list of the decorations needed for Mario and Luigi's surprise birthday. Everything seemed in order. Except one thing was missing.
Peached sighed, "How can I keep Mario busy for at least half an hour? He always knows when something is different."
"Well," Toad suggested, "maybe you could put everythig together in the morning, when he oversleeps."
Peach was about to say that it wouldn't work, when the phone rang. She picked up the phone, and said, "Hello?"
It was Bowser. "Hey, Peach? I have a meeting today, so I won't be able to capture you today. Could we re-schedule to some other day?"
Peach suddenly had an idea. "Bowser could you capture Luigi on the thirty-seventh? Mario and Luigi's surprise birthday is on that day, and I need them to be distracted for a while."
"How come I wasn't invited?"
"Yeah you were, check your mailbox. Oh, could you capture Toad and Professer Elvin Gadd to make the kidnapping more genuine?"
Bowser sighed, "Fine."
"Thanks! Bye!"
Peach hung up the phone, convinced that the party would be a success.
The next morining, Toad answered the phone, while Peach walked into the room. It was Mario.
Toad said, "It's Mario, he wants to talk to you."
Tell him I'm not here, and sound panicked.
Toad did so, and as he did, Bowser walked in, pulling a tied-up, blindfolded Luigi behind him. Immediately, Bowser laughed an evil laugh into the receiver, and hung up the phone. Toad knew what was hapening and made noises of fear in Luigi's direction, Peach did the same, but stayed put, while Toad followed Bowser and the blindfolded Luigi outside. Peach waited till they were gone, then sighed with relief, and began to prepare for the party. After a while, Peach got a phone call from Toad. She hung up and dashed off to the castle, concerned of how badly Mario would push Bowser before Bowser would stop pretending and burn Mario into a sulfurous mass of ashes.
She got to the front door, yanked it open, and yelled, "Stop! Bowser is telling you the truth. He did nothing."
Mario apologized to Bowser, and then looked at Peach, confused. "Who sent the message?" he asked, with slightly different wording.
I'll explain on the way home." She then thatnked Bowser, and she actually didn't tell Mario anything on the way home.
