Ya! My first fanfic! HORAY! This is a FB & CC fanfic, but it makes a lot of references to the Mario World. It was just an idea I wanted to carry out. This chapter doesn't have anything to do with FB&CC, but just wait because I will get to that point. This is just a chapter to introduce my OC who will be a main character in this. Please don't flame me (whatever that means) and if you R&R, please don't cuss. And also, please keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times. HAVE FUN!

Disclaimer: Only characters I own are Desdemona and Lieutenant Jordan. I also own the plot, so HANDS OFF OR MY ARMADA OF APPLE TREES WILL TURN YOU INTO MARIONETTES! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Chapter 1: Flashbacks

Desdemona's POV

Alone

That word was the best way to describe how I felt right now.

Alone. If only I could have stayed with my cousins Mario & Luigi in the Mushroom Kingdom. Sadly though, now that both of them are kings, I feel I would just be another burden on their now very important backs.

My name is Desdemona Frotheran, and I have just moved away from my sunny and adventury home in the Mushroom Kingdom, to a small house in Sacramento. It isn't all that bad, the climate is nice, the house came with a greenhouse. But I have now gone back to the way I have lived ever since day 1.

Alone. I was an orphan since I was 8 months old. I was always picked on because I never followed the crowd, and I was always smarter and more sensible than that of many other kids.

I was kicked out of the orphanage I lived in when I was five. A week after that, I met another orphan that hadn't lived in my orphanage (god bless he didn't) named Jordan Massin. He was a little over 2 years older than me, but he was very friendly, and protected me against danger when we lived in the alleys of Detroit. Sadly he died just a year before my life changed right before my eyes.

When I was ten, I stumbled upon a portal to the Mushroom Kingdom, and found my two cousins Mario & Luigi. Unfortunately, I had to be hidden from their other, more devious cousins Wario & Waluigi, or else I may have been hurt by them. I was really happy in the realm of mushrooms, even though the sad day of Jordan's death haunted me so.

Which brings me here, to this small house in California. The main reason I left was because it was almost time for school to start, and no one could protect me from those dastardly Wario Bros. while I was in school. My cousins were too busy already, both now kings of two wonderful realms.

So I decided to move back to the real world.

On the day of my departure, all of my friends gave me gifts to remember them by. My friend Toadette gave me a really pretty hairbrush, Yoshi gave me a few berry bush plants, (he knew I loved gardening) the shy guys I befriended gave me a handmade guitar, one of my favorite instruments, and my cousins and Daisy & Peach, now my cousins-in-law, told me that Rosalina, along with her gift of a bag filled with unlimited starbits would give me their gift after she rode me to my new destination.

Everyone waved goodbye as Rosalina gave me a ride on the Comet Observatory. As we reached my new house, she have me a necklace that had a small emerald mushroom pendant. "This," she said, "will give you the power to warp back to the Mushroom Kingdom whenever you like. Just chant: "I want to see the Mushroom Kingdom" while holding the pendant, and you will be warped right outside the castle." "Thanks Rosalina, I will miss you all," I stated with a weak voice. Tears formed in both of our eyes as I waved goodbye.

That night, I had slept on the floor, and tonight, I was outside, lying under a tree. The nice thing was, I could sleep under the stars without having to worry about being abducted by Bowser or the Wario Bros. But the sad thing was, I missed the lullabies the shy guys would sing to me to fall asleep.

School would start tomorrow, and I was for some reason, very scared. It was a surprise I actually got to sleep. As I drifted off to sleep, I heard a familiar voice call to me "Desdemona. Desdemona. It will be alright. I am here with you now."

AND CLIFFHANGER! YIPPEE! Kinda tragic though. I don't plan on having any more sad chappies, but then again, I may change the story. See you next time.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!
