As promised, I have the next chapter ready to go up. If something sounds funny in it, give me a break. Its like 4:30 AM my time. So without further ado:
Chapter 5
Time Rolls On
Time had passed by in the Mushroom Kingdom and things had remained relatively peaceful. In fact, things seemed to be going great for a change. Bowser had not been heard from since the meteor shower, the princess was getting married to Mario which also meant they were to become king and queen of the kingdom, and Luigi and Daisy were also becoming closer as a couple. Things were indeed going swell for the kingdom.
Bowser, however, was miserable. His campaign to take over the Mushroom Kingdom had come to a complete stop. He knew that with Mario as her husband, Peach would never be vulnerable for kidnapping.
*Maybe I should just give up.* Bowser thought to himself, *It might not be so bad getting along with everyone. After all, we could play golf... or something...*
“ARRG! What am I talking about!†he roared to himself. “ The situation will present itself, I just have to keep an eye out and be patient.†He forced himself to calm down. “I hope my scouts will bring me good news.â€
At that very same moment, Peach was getting her medical test results back from the doctor at her annual check, and not all of the results were good. It seemed that due to a genetic anomaly, Peach would only be able to have one child in her lifetime. She was devastated by the news. She was an only child, and every night, wished that she could have a brother or sister to play with. It was her life ambition to raise a large family.
She struggled to maintain her composure.
â€Are you absolutely sure that I can only have one child? Isn‘t there anything you can do?†she ask, her eyes full of tears.
“I wish I could help, but I’m sorry, there is nothing I can do to change it.†the doctor sadly replied.
Peach thanked the doctor for his help, and slowly walked back to her castle, felling very amiss about what the doctor told her. Unknown to her, a koopa scout had listened to her discussion with the doctor. He scampered back to Bowser’s keep to tell the tyrannical turtle the news.
Meanwhile, Daisy and Luigi were also headed back to the castle. They had been at the bridal shop being fitted for the wedding. Luigi, of course, was Mario’s best man and Daisy was to be Peach’s maid of honor. Luigi listened as Daisy talked, but his mind began to wander. He thought about his recurring dream about “Hero’s Blood†that woke him up almost every night.
*Why does it still occur? Was there more to it then Merlon explained?*
His thoughts then shifted to the love of his life, Daisy. He thought about how beautiful she looked in her gown earlier, and how much he wished he could express his love to her.
“Luigi, are you even listening to me?†Daisy asked.
“Wha... huh? Luigi stammered. “Sorry, Daisy, I just got a lot I mind. What were you saying?â€
“ I saidâ€, she began again, “do you think the weather will be okay for the wedding?â€
“I’m sure it will be perfect†he replied. A sudden thought popped into his head.
*The wedding! That’s when I can do it! I’ll ask Daisy to marry me. After all, what could be more romantic than a wedding. I hope I can build up the courage to ask her.*
It was nearing sunset as they entered the walls of the castle. Daisy took Luigi by the hand and led him to a balcony. Luigi was very nervous but tried to remain calm.
“I want to watch to sunset with you.†she said, leaning closer to him.
“I’d like that.†he gulped.
The two of them stared in awe as the kingdom took on a golden glow from the setting sun. It was if all the kingdom was aglow with happiness. Everybody felt as though they were entering a golden era of peace and tranquility...
Sadly, they would soon find out how entirely wrong they were.
OOOOOOOOOOoooooo... sound like stuff might start going downhill. Tell me what ya think. Now, I'm gonna get some sleep.( If you haven't figured it out by now, I used to be Bluto)
P.S. If you want, you can just call me Vash for short.
