Author's Note: This time, I left this first crossover for about 2 years… I think. I do apologize for the extremely long hiatus but I haven't had the heart to continue with this story for more than a while. I was busy with other fanfictions and my life, such as college. Finally, I decided to head back to this. Here's the long-awaited fourth chapter.

Disclaimer: It's very obvious that I don't own anything except the story plot and the title of the fanfic.

Chapter 4: Plea for Peach and Bowser Strikes!

The door of the esteemed, renowned home of Princess Peach creaked wide open as Mario stepped inside, Kirby and Luigi walked behind the red-capped plumber. They stopped and looked up to spot another matching double door from the top of the stairway was slowly moving to the side and Toadsworth came out. He immediately acknowledged the Mario brothers and waved his wooden cane, as an indication of saying hello. The door was shut behind him whilst he gradually descended the flight of steps due to the fact that he's elderly; he held onto his stick as temporary support and went down with it. Once he reached below the flight of staircase, he came towards the threesome and stood before them.

"Ah… Masters Mario and Luigi, Her Highness will be here very shortly. Please wait patiently, hmm? Who is this pink marshmallow?" The old toadstool asked, pointing his walking stick at the pink, podgy body of the puffball when he noticed an unknown being with the famous duo.

"Kirby." The galactic creature smiled, in a friendly and adorable manner.

"What an intriguing, celestial character you have here lads. It's very rare to see one of these in the Mushroom Kingdom."

"He isn't from this kingdom, Toadsworth. Kirby's from way above, beyond the clouds. More like outer space somewhere in the cosmos, I don't know where exactly he's from though." The red-clad hero explained, reasonably.

"Big bro's right, Kirby told us that he's from a distant planet that is unlike here. Right now, we need to have a chat with the princess about cancelling the tennis match against her and Daisy. Besides, we have to find a way to get our new friend home." The green-clothed underdog added, putting a gloved hand on his elder sibling's shoulder and nodded with agreement.

"Hi Mario! Hello Luigi!" A familiar female voice exclaimed.

The Mushroom Kingdom heroes, the aged toad and the cute extraterrestrial quickly glanced above the set of steps to see two princesses running down to the four on their high-heels, they were grabbing onto their dress using both of their dainty, white gloved hands to make sure that they don't fall on the way to the foursome. Mario, Luigi and Toadsworth knew them as Princess Peach and Princess Daisy.

However, Kirby doesn't know them because he's so new to their world. The plumbers briefly waved and the elderly mushroom simply bowed, he used his timber bamboo and waved it to give them a gesture of a friendly greeting. The pair of royal ladies sprinted to the group of four and halted at where the quartet was.

"Hey, boys! What's up?" Daisy asked in her usual tomboyish voice in cheerfully and sassy way.

"H-H-Hi… D-D-Daisy." The green-clad sidekick stuttered, in a low tone. He was at a loss of words as he stood there like a motionless statue, teeth gritting, breathing heavily and literally shaking in his blue overalls.

Mario removed his cap and clutched it in his gloves in front of his waist as a way of being a gentleman just as he grinned, apologetically. "Please excuse my brother, he's really shy and he's very uncomfortable whenever he's close to you. Basically, he's nervous around girls such as you… Daisy."

"Don't worry, I just like him the way he is. That's one of the reasons why I like him as a friend." The brunette-haired woman beamed.

Peach knelt down to Kirby's level as soon as he saw him next to her moustachioed chums and gently picked him up. She embraced him and the puffball squealed with delight. He returned the cuddle and they let go of themselves after a moment of tenderness. She looked deeply into the Pop Star saviour and he stared into hers, it was a few minutes of affection and kindliness.

"Aww… you're irresistibly cute and loveable! I truly couldn't take my eyes of you because you look like a cutie from heaven! Do you have a name?" The pink princess enquired. She was fascinated by the adorable appearance and wanted to know more about the Dream Land protector.

"Kirby! Kirby! Kirr-bee!" The 8-inch high defender answered, joyfully. He was swaying his small arms from side to side, giggling extremely childlike like an innocent newborn baby.

Princess Peach Toadstool joined in the laughter for a couple of extra seconds and softly touched his head teasingly.

"What are you from?" She questioned.

"Pop Star." The blue-eyed strange being replied, with a titter that came from deep within him.

"Oh! Do you mean the singing kind of pop star?"

Kirby shook his head as an answer, knowing what she said was incorrect.

"He meant the planet, it's very far away from here princess. It's most likely somewhere in the galaxy." The moustachioed plumber mentioned.

She took a fleeting look at her friend and then back at the galactic new arrival. "Is this true?"

The stellar unfamiliar character nodded as a response. Mario put his trademark red cap on his head and he abruptly cleared his throat, notifying the twosome that he wished to speak. They gawped at him, ready to pay attention.

The Italian protagonist pulled the collar of his red sweatshirt and gulped uneasily, he wasn't happy with giving her an explanation of the dire situation. "Princess… um… I don't know how to say this but… you have to cancel your tennis match."

"Why, Mario?" The monarch queried with a disappointed face, she was looking forward to playing a game with her plumber pals and was on the brink of crying but she had to stay strong.

"There is a circumstance that occurred, it's a long story but I don't want to bore you with the details."

"Please Mario, I need to know what exactly happened. I can handle a little tale about an affair."

"To be honest, I think Kirby knows the story better than Luigi and I. He experienced it, not us. My brother and I found him at the bottom of a deep hole near your castle, along with his spacecraft. Luckily, he was all right from the crash-landing and we dragged him out to safety using a rope from my house. He even told us how he got here in the first place."

All eyes were turned to Kirby, eager to hear the story from his perspective. His tiny oval-shaped cheeks went from his normal colour to red because he was blushing from being stared at by Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy and Toadsworth. He remained immobile, speechless and getting uneasy.

"Go on, Master Kirby. I'd like you to enlighten us with your personal account, if you please." The mushroom elder beamed, egging the ball-shaped living thing on.

"It all began when the racers and I were on our Air Ride machines at the start and finish line in Nebula Belt. The countdown appeared in front of us, when it showed 'Go'… we're off! I was in the pole position while the rest of them were behind me. I sped past lots of Copy Chance Wheel panels to obtain an ability. I was way in front of everyone else and I was about to cross the line when all of a sudden, a plasma bomb electrocuted me and King Dedede dashed past. He strikes me with his mallet and hit me three times, which sent me flying really far away from the course. I crash-landed here in the Mushroom Kingdom and now here I am, chatting with you guys. How am I going to get back home? If I don't come back to the Grand Prix, I might get disqualified!" The resident of Pop Star explicate, telling his own account in his point of view.

Kirby yet again was bawling his eyes out; his tears were streaming down his cheeks and body. The water slide down to his red egg-shaped feet.

"Oh my goodness, that is the saddest story that I've ever heard!" The blonde-haired ruler shouted, a tear of her own falling downwards. She cleaned it away using her long glove. "Now I understand completely, no wonder Mario wants to stop the tennis competition!"

The Warp Star-riding fellow fixed his eyes on the ground with a miserable face; he was in utter sorrow and lost in despair. "What am I going to do? My Warp Star is broken to pieces! Without it, I'll never get back. Mario and Luigi already tried fixing my spaceship but they couldn't do it."

The tall, lanky sidekick put a finger under his chin and pondered carefully to himself. "Exactly, who should we ask for help?"

"I suggest that we have to travel all over the kingdom, finding someone who can repair his star-shaped aircraft. We can get assistance from my old and recent partners that I've been on adventures with. With their help, we can send Kirby back to space in no time." The plucky man stated, his expression is extremely determined and willing to aid anyone in trouble.

Hearing this, Kirby wiped his tears using his miniature arms and a smile was spread across his face. Perhaps he hasn't lost all hope after all.

"In case Bowser is in our way of starting our quest and is intending on kidnapping you princess," The heroic redeemer announced, he turned his attention to Peach the moment he mentioned her. "I've got a sneaky foolproof plan and hopefully he'll get fooled."

Daisy instantly raised her hand in the air, needing to tell her question to the gang. "Yo, Mario! I've got one question, how are you planning to trick Bowser?"

The overall-wearing guy adjusted his red cap in a confident way and smirked. "That's simple Daisy, Luigi will be wearing one of the princess's pink dresses and disguise as Peach."

"That's a great idea, big bro!" Luigi hollered, enthusiastically. But then stopped in mid sentence, realising what his sibling said. His face went from a big smile to a traumatized expression. "We should go for—wait a second… WHAT?"

"You heard it, Luigi. Wear Peach's gown to fool him."

The younger brother crossed his arms and shook his skull for disagreeing with the famous, short brave man. "Nuh-uh, am I dressing up like a pretty girl! I would look like a girly sissy who wore make-up, mascara and prances around like a ballerina!"

Princess Peach began to sob, getting upset at Luigi's insult. She removed her tears with a pink, silky handkerchief as they kept on moving down from her sapphire eyes. "Hey! That's my pastime…"

"You got that right, plumber boy! You shouldn't be dressed in that frock!" The brown-haired woman agreed, going along with his disapproval.

"Everybody… we should stick to Mario's idea. Who cares that Luigi has to be fully dressed in the princess's clothes. What matters are that Peach won't be nabbed this time and we'll eventually embark on the mission to get me back to my planet. Now who's with me?" Kirby interrupted, displeased with the commotion.

"I must say that I agree, we have to proceed with Master Mario's scheme." Peach's faithful companion acquiesced, understanding that it's pointless to quarrelling over the strategy.

"I guess it's okay… but I'm worried that it may fail and I'll get abducted as usual. I hope that any of my spare dresses won't be torn or ripped in the process." The sovereign muttered, being doubtful about Mario's suggestion.

"Sure, let's go for it. At least I'm not involved in this." Princess Daisy murmured, a little grumpy about the thought of her mate in a beautiful ball gown.

"Whatever, I'm not fine with this but if it's just for sending Kirby back to the stars than let's get this plan started." Luigi scowled, not keen on slipping into an elegant dress.

"All right then," Mario punched his gloved fist towards his hand, self-assured that his idea will succeed. He faced his affectionate love interest. "Princess, do you have an extra gown?"

"Of course I do, Mario. Everybody… if you will, just follow me to my bedroom." The regal lady brightly smiled.

In single file, Kirby, Toadsworth, Daisy, Luigi and Mario walked behind each other even as Peach were making their way to her own room which she is more like her sanctuary. It's located on the second floor so they travelled the stairway upwards. Once they reached the top of the stairs, the kind-hearted maiden pushed the double door wide open. One by one, they entered through.

Later on, the six were in Peach's bedroom and were standing near the bed; some of them were sitting on it. The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom was rooting through her array of personal dresses and gowns that have a different style of their own. However, they were all in the same pink colour.

The room hasn't changed a bit since that ordeal of being a prisoner here when she was captured along with the castle back then; there was a sofa next to the door, her mirror and desk was there with a collection of makeup and mascara kits everywhere, her assortment of frocks that she always wears that were hung on the hangers, a glass double door which leads to a small balcony, two bouquets of flowers were in vases on a table at each side of her beloved bed, a photo of Mario placed somewhere on the fireplace, a button of the secret way out that the supreme ruler only knew and a lot more things that can be spotted. The room has a perfume scent that smells like radiant, fresh picked roses.

Peach continued to pick out the best dress that fits Luigi perfectly. At times, she pulls out one of them and looked at it to see if it's the correct one. If it isn't, she puts it back where it was before. The lean, green-clad bloke suddenly saw a little pink, fluffy fan on the floor and he bent down to pick it up from the floor. He examines it closely, wondering if it belonged to his female chum.

"Hey, princess! Is this yours?" He queried, gripping onto the fan in the air.

"Oh, my fan! Thank you so much for finding it, I've been searching for this for days! Um… you can use it to conceal your face if Bowser gives you an intent look." The pretty maiden beamed, overjoyed to see her fan again.

Mario's youngest brother shrugged and took the liberty of keeping it in his hand. She returned to rummaging through her compilation of majestic gowns. At last, she cautiously tugged out a dainty, imperial dress that has a floral pattern decorated all over the pink fabric. She brought it to her feminine face and took a whiff of the fragrance. She sighed calmly and closed her eyes as the aroma travelled right through her nose. Princess Peach opened her eyes and smiled broadly. She rotates to the crew and showed them the dress that she chosen.

"What do you think? Classy, no?" She laughed, with enthusiasm whilst her azure eyes lit up with excitement. "I'd say it's the ideal frock that's wonderful for Luigi and I'm certain that it will fit him."

"I think it's over the top but let's go for it anyway." The green-capped protagonist remarked. His attention was on the graceful damsel. "But if I get snatched, Mario has to rescue me. That's what he owes me, at least he doesn't need to repay you."

"No he doesn't, every time he saves me. Mario's such a sweetheart whenever I need rescuing. He just does it anyhow, no matter how difficult the escapade can be. So please, change into that garment."

"Fair enough, but I can't do it if every person in the room is eyeballing me when I'm changing. Men needs their privacy, you know."

"I understand." The fair-haired female looked towards the four, except for the tall overall-wearing chap. "Everybody, we have to head out the door because Luigi doesn't want anyone to watch him changing into a new outfit. Now let's go in a orderly line please."

The princess hands over her additional dress to her buddy and before she departs, she provided him a thumbs up and winked.

"Help yourself to my assortment of cosmetics, mascara, lip gloss, lip stick, eye shadow, powder, perfume, foundation, cream, eyeliner and blusher if you want. I'm positive that Bowser will hardly recognize you in that make-up." She chuckled, blowing him a kiss in a good-natured way.

Mario, Kirby, Daisy and Toadsworth go behind Peach heading for the way out of the room. As each of them left, the white moustachioed toad closes the door on his way out as courtesy. He remembers to shut it if he's the last one who's leaving any room in the fortress at all times. Listening to the sound of the doorway shutting, the well-known brother grinned with satisfaction due to the fact that he's all alone and desires some personal space.

"Peace at last. At least, no one's having their eyes on me." He said to himself, sighing with gratification.

The group of five were waiting in front of the door for Luigi to come out. The circular extraterrestrial was occupied with skipping in a circle blissfully, tittering away. The renowned rescuer was crossing his arms and tapping his right boot on the floorboards, the dark-haired girl was chatting with her female golden-haired companion and the spectacle-wearing toadstool was busy pacing back and forth with his head down. It seemed like hours since the man in green was within the room, preparing for Mario's conspiracy. Luigi was the key for this to go well, although Peach was aware that this might lead to a downfall and there may be a flaw in duping their arch nemesis.

"Kirby, I almost forgot." Mario strides to the pair of princesses; they paused their discussion and faced forward. The puffball stopped prancing about and focused his eyes at the three. The red jumper-wearing liberator stretched his hand to the royal ladies. "The one in the pink gown is Princess Peach, our honourable monarch and this young girl in the yellow dress is Princess Daisy from Sarasaland." Toadsworth paced past the group and stood there next to the female tomboy. The eminent hero points to the elder mushroom. "Finally, he's Toadsworth, Peach's devoted attendant."

The beautiful ruler did a curtsy and waved, her tomboyish pal bent down and blew a simple kiss whilst she winked and the senior steward bowed for a short time with a grin of acknowledgment.

"You previously knew Luigi and I back at the castle grounds outdoors. Lest, you've forgotten… we're the Mario brothers because of our family surname."

The Pop Star inhabitant bobs his cranium, absorbing the last-minute introduction into his mind.

"Man… Luigi is sure taking his sweet time in there, probably applying junk to his manly face." The Sarasaland sovereign guffawed, having an image of her close friend putting on cosmetics in her brain.

The princess glowered at her amused best friend and nudged her in the waist with force. "Hey! How can you say that about my personal belongings and our pal? That's not very nice, Daisy. You should know better than being rude to anyone or anything."

Peach's partner rubbed her waist and cringed, feeling how painful the prod was and she looked angrily at her close companion. "Ow… that hurts, Peachy."

"That will teach you not to upset Luigi and say horrible things about my make-up."

"Sheesh! I won't utter any abusive stuff again, I swear!"

"I hope you're telling the truth. I hate it when people don't."

The door of the bedroom unexpectedly opened and the plumber came outside, clasping onto the pink, royal fabric of the dress with one hand. On it, is a unique repetitive pattern that is pretty beyond belief at the bottom. He held a pink, feathery fan in his other gloved hand; obviously he was wearing the princess's long white, velvety gloves. His mouth was covered with rose lip-gloss, on his eyelids were pale pink eye shadow with glitter, his eyelashes were applied with eyeliner, his cheeks have a pinkish colour since he added a little blusher and he smelled like a flower garden due to the perfume. He had on a pair of red high-heeled shoes that Peach generally sported. He gripped the fan and fanned himself slowly like a typical princess. His trademark green cap wasn't on his head anymore and was replaced with a tiara that is identical to Peach's.

"Tee hee hee, I think you've gotten overboard with disguising as me. But I'll give you credit for using too much powder and paint on yourself." The rose-pink dress-clad ruler giggled, amusingly and noticing the new look of Luigi's face.

"Yeah, but it's a nice look on you!" The floral young woman sniggered, finding this very funny.

Mario slapped his forehead and shook his head, disgusted by the impersonation of his love interest. "Mamma mia… you nearly resemble the princess. Not what I had in mind but I think this will do."

"Poyo!" Kirby squealed in gladness, being fond of the amount of girlish makeup on his newfound acquaintance. He bounced up and down with utmost glee, flapping his mini arms like a bird.

"I say… this could be a suitable style for you, old bean. It's acceptable in my opinion. You did a splendid job, taking your valuable time to be this elegant. Oh ho! Who knows, you might be even prettier than Her Highness!" The active senior remarked, flashing a wide smile in the direction of the green Italian plumber.

"That's good and all but won't I get snatched anyway? …Despite dressing up as the princess." The green high jumper pondered, wondering about the stratagem.

"You most likely will, my boy. But on the bright side, that notorious Koopa King under no circumstances will run off with the princess. Not on my watch, he definitely won't. But chin up, Master Mario will save you like always." The chancellor of the building stated, with pleasure. "You can count on him every time."

"I'll keep that in mind."

Unexpectedly, a loud explosion can be heard from outside that sent the glass of the windows flying and the whole castle trembles violently from an unknown force, the six were alarmed and jumped because of the earth-shattering sound. It was so powerful that everyone nearly stumbled. The transparent glass was spilled all over the floor. Peach immediately hid at the back of Daisy, knelt down and hanged on to her mate's dress as she shook it strongly. Luigi rushed over behind his braver brother and clutched onto the straps of the overalls. Kirby hopped into Mario's arms, quivering with shock. Yet another boom rang in their ears that caused vases come crashing down and numerous bunch of flowers were scattered across the flooring.

"Seems like Bowser is here for Princess Peach… doesn't he ever learn that no matter he do, he gets trounced?" The valiant man said, kneeling and gently putting his brand-new ally down. He then stood tall like a daring hero. "C'mon Luigi and Kirby, time to show him who's boss! Let's-a-go!"

The other two central characters nodded and pursued the leading man in red; they hurried past their acquaintances and left them behind. Mario's dame got herself up and watched her associates departing for the door. The shorthaired damsel stood facing the blonde female and laid a gloved hand on her right shoulder, attempting to comfort her. The steward went to the crowned lady and stood by her side.

"If Masters Mario and Luigi manages to send off Master Kirby back to outer space, I'd wish them luck and bid the marshmallow adieu." Toadsworth replied, self-assuredly and smiled.

"That's respectful of you to say that, Toadsworth." The tiara-wearing blondie beamed. After that, she whispered to herself. "I believe in you Mario Bros. … Especially you too, Kirby. Reach for the stars and you'll get there safely."

"I bet those boys will be able to kick that Koopa's butt! I'm sure of it." The floral, vivacious girl hollered with confidence. Knowing the brothers, she understands that they can get the job done with teamwork.

The doors were swayed wide open as Mario dragged his brother (in a dress) by the hand, Kirby was right behind them. They stood there as a three, ogling at a familiar Koopa Clown Car that belonged to none other than Bowser. The heroes scowled at the fire-breathing monster that hovered before them in his favoured transportation.

"Gwa ha ha ha! Well, well, well, if it isn't my arch-nemesis Mario and… what the-? Princess Peach?" The Koopa Lord laughed evilly. He immediately spotted the third protagonist at the back of the capped siblings. "What's this? Why do you morons have a pink marshmallow tagging along?"

The rose-coloured, childlike hero glowered at the green-spiked villain with anger; he didn't like being insulted especially by a new foe.

"If want Princess Peach so desperately, why don't you come and kidnap her now?" The fearless man asked in a taunting tone of voice, blowing a raspberry at his adversary.

"Fine then! Prepare yourself you wretched plumber, I'm gonna steal your precious sweetheart away from you!"

The mushroom man stepped in front of his 'princess' and stretched both arms to defend the dress-wearing gentleman whilst looking angrily at the Koopa King. "Not without a fight, you're not! Don't be so sure that you'll be able to ride off with her, not on my watch!"

"Very well, you leave me no choice. Let's fight over her, shall we?"

"All right then, you're going down Bowser!"

The evil turtle rummaged in his transportation and got hold of a couple of Bob-ombs in his claws. One by one, he hurled them downwards towards his opponents. The gutsy hero prepared to use his trusty hammer as a tennis racket and looked intently at the bombs. He hit them one at a time as they were sent flying back to his rival. Kirby helped out by using his special ability to suck in anything that he sees. He opened his humongous mouth, a gust of wind blew in the direction of the bombs and sucked in a small number of them like a vacuum. Who knows where they went and end up in? He spat them out right away, heading straight for the sinister tyrant.

He quickly dodged them who were sent soaring elsewhere and sneered sinisterly at his rivals, mocking at their attacks. He and his flying vehicle zoomed to the overall-wearing, short protagonist, his new companion and his disguised brother. He instantaneously halted in front of them and looked toward the main characters. The wicked shelled monarch hopped out of his Koopa Clown Car, punching his clenched knuckle into his claw in an intimidating way.

"Fork over the princess and nobody gets hurt." He threatened, he gritted his pointed teeth.

"Forget it Koopa creep, you're not having her." The red-clad plumber refused, folding his arms and shaking his head. Afterwards, He points in a straight direction. "But… isn't Kammy Koopa calling for you?"

King Bowser revolved his head round but ended up seeing nothing. Using his chance to escape, Mario stood facing his companions and gripped Luigi's gloved hand.

"C'mon, let's make tracks!" The lead hero bellowed.

He dragged his youngest sibling by the hand and they raced off down the pathway, past the monstrous reptile. The reddish pink dashed after them, trailing behind. Realized that he fell for the trick, the scaly sovereign jumped back in his faithful vehicle and zoomed after his fleeing foes.

"Come back here, you cowards!" He roared, his voice boomed through the castle grounds. "Mark my words, Peachy will be MINE!"

The gang speedily sprinted as fast as they can with their nemesis hot on their tail. They spotted a nearby tree and hid behind the trunk, they stopped to catch their breaths as they were breathing heavily. The Italian brothers let go of their hands, put their hands on their legs, bend their bodies down and panted. Kirby sat on the grass gasping for air under the shade. The rays shone through the lush leaves, producing shadows on the ground.

"At least… we've… lost him…" The saviour in red wheezed, exhausted from the chase. "…for now."

"What… are… we… going to do, Mario?" The adorable cutie enquired, huffing and puffing for air.

"We'll… stay here… until the close… is clear."

The green-hatted guy moved his eyes left and right, checking to see if their enemy is there. He sighed with relief, delighted that there is no sign of Lord Bowser or his airborne car. He rotated to stare toward his chums and grinned with satisfaction.

"Bowser's gone, fellas. Let's get out while the getting's—" He was cut off when an infamous aircraft swooped like an eagle from the right, was suddenly snatched by the claw and taken away. "Help! Mario, save me!"

The main stars at once darted out of their hiding place; the fearless rescuer gasped glaring at his departing arch-foe who was grasping Luigi's right hand and he was dangling for dear life. The rose-tinted, celestial being gulped glimpsing at one of his brand-new buddies in deep trouble. The fake 'Princess Peach' looked down and secondly up, quivering violently because of how high he was at this time.

"Somebody, anybody please rescue me!" He screamed, loudly at the top of his voice.

"Mamma Mia…" The red shirt-wearing redeemer groaned.

"Oh my stars! That fiend nabbed your brother!" The rosy extraterrestrial gasped. "We've got to do something!"

"Gwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!" The dastardly beast cackled, his horrible laugh echoed in the clear sky. It ended eventually when the villainous craft soared away; it became a tiny dot the further it flew off from the soil. Unluckily to the remaining liberators, they have no idea where is the beastly brute taking the false princess.

"Seems like the quest to send you back to your planet will have to wait, my bro needs me." The portly plumber said with willpower, clenching his fist beside his waist.

"I know what you mean… family's important and besides, Luigi is my recent friend now." The puffball nodded, understanding the importance of the lean, green male. "But… how do we get help?"

"Don't worry, I know the perfect group of allies that we can have to accompany us on our escapade."

"Who are they?"

"You'll be able to meet them sooner than you think."

Mario and Kirby made their way down the path to the large blue double door with a massive yellow star and black eyes. Not only do the quest involves saving the youngest Mario brother, there is another mission which is for the pink creature to reach the stars before the Grand Prix finishes. As soon as they arrived at the door, the celebrated protagonist pressed it open and they went through the doorway. These tasks were in their minds at the moment and their adventure has just begun.

To be continued…

Author's Note: New year meaning new long-awaited chapter of the story. I've worked extremely hard on this and I think this is worth the wait, due to how long the chappie is. The previous longest fic I've submitted was "Disturbia", last year's Halloween special. Sadly, I didn't have time to do something nice for New Year's Eve or New Year's Day but think of this as a present to you "Crash Landing on the Mushroom Kingdom" fans to celebrate 2009. I even took the liberty of playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl to start fights… "Crash Landing on the Mushroom Kingdom" style!

I chose the character I'm going to play as and three more fighters for the computer to control. Then picked any stage I want like Mushroomy Kingdom for instance. Lol, I'm been choosing Mario lately and sometimes my other favourite brawlers which were Kirby and Princess Peach. The contestants that were handpicked were the main characters who appeared in the crossover.

2008 has its ups and downs but it was a memorable year 'cause of such wonderful shows or events like Beijing 2008 (due to the success of Team GB – Yay for my country!), "MTV Europe Music Awards 2008" (Lmao, Rick Astley won the "Best Act Ever" award 'cause of the internet prank known as "Rickrolling"), "The Girls Aloud Party" and so on. With a bit of luck, the athletes from this year's Olympics will return in four years time to the next one. Team GB will hopefully make me, the nation, the queen and her family as well as themselves proud and they'll fly the flag for us if they do well.

For the time being, send your caring reviews to me please. Right now, I'm just listening to "See The Light" by Paradise which is one of my favourite songs. Do any of you remember the song fanfiction of this story?
