Following up my saga with its second story! As you definitely know, this is a remake of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time with Sonic characters in the middle. There's going to be some differences to this story compared to my Superstar Saga story, but just like its predecessor, a new female guide will show up to assist the main heroes. She won't show up until chapter 4, though.

With that said, let's enjoy Partners in Time! ;)

Chapter 1: Alien Attack!

Really, really long ago…way far out in space…in a dark, dank place shunned by starlight…there was this creepy planet floating alone… The beings of this world were…creepy. They spent their time staring creepily into space. Just creepy daydreamers, right? Wrong. They were searching. Searching for a new home. At last, they fixed their creepy gazes on a distant world, a land of beauty and peace…

"#######!" an unknown alien chuckled evilly.

Mushroom Kingdom's past…

At Peach's Castle, we can see a younger Toadsworth welcoming three familiar friends. These friends were all animals: two of them were hedgehogs, one male, around 7 years old and the other female, around 6, and the other one was a two-tailed fox around 5 years old. All of them also had black eyes.

The male hedgehog had light-blue fur, peach skin, a round belly, white gloves, white socks showing the folds only, and red sneakers with white stripes and gold buckles. The two-tailed fox had yellow fur, a white furred tummy, white gloves with gray fasteners, white socks with blue fasteners and red sneakers with white tips. Finally, the female hedgehog had light-pink fur, peach skin, a red headband, a green t-shirt with a white collar, an orange folded skirt, white gloves, and baby blue shoes with orange laces.

They were of course Sonic, Tails and Amy, in their young appearances. They approached Young Toadsworth and he greeted:

"Oho! Young Masters Sonic, Tails, and Mistress Rose! I've anxiously awaited your arrival!"

"Let me guess; the Mario Brothers and Princess Peach want to play with us again, right?" Young Sonic guessed.

"Yes, indeed, they all crave playmates, I'm afraid. Sometimes, they're rather…tantrummy. I can't tell you how they all missed you so much ever since you played with them last year during your month of visiting the Mushroom Kingdom!"

"Yeah, I can totally imagine that…" Young Tails said embarrassed.

"They're all waiting for you at the throne room. Please go to them at once!"

"We're on it, Toadsworth!" Young Amy replied with a smile.

The trio walked in the halls of the castle until they finally reached the throne room. There, they saw that the floor was filled with toys that belonged to the baby Mario Bros. Speaking of which, we can see the baby brothers of around 2 years old playing separately on the floor while the baby princess of around 1 year old was watching them from her pink baby carriage.

"Guys! We're here!" Young Tails called playfully.

The babies heard his call and cheered, seeing that their best friends have finally arrived. With that, Young Sonic went to play with Baby Mario, Young Tails went to play with Baby Luigi, and Young Amy went to play with Baby Peach.

"How about we play with the rattles first, Peach?" Young Amy pulled out two rattles; one red and one pink and handed the pink one to Baby Peach.

"Hehehehehe!" Baby Peach giggled as she and Young Amy were shaking their rattles together.

Baby Luigi was riding on Young Tails' back. The younger brother was having so much fun with his fox friend as they both were giggling together. Soon, Baby Luigi saw his favorite Teddy Bear on the floor.

"Ooh, ooh! Teddy! Gimme, gimme!" Baby Luigi begged as he points to his Teddy Bear. Young Tails then eyed at the Teddy Bear on the floor next to him that Baby Luigi was directing to.

"You want it, Luigi? Here you go!" Young Tails picked up the Teddy Bear and handed it to Baby Luigi.

The young fox then helped Baby Luigi sit on his lap and watched him cuddling and snuggling his Teddy Bear.

"Aww…" Young Tails smiled at him.

Young Sonic was playing with Baby Mario by building a tower with the toy cubes. They worked together to finish it. Then, Baby Mario picks up a toy mallet and whacks the tower, demolishing it.

"Bam! Bam! Bam!" Baby Mario hits the tower until it demolishes.

"Heh heh heh, you sure wanted to destroy that tower, huh?" Young Sonic chuckled.

"Yep! When I grow up, I really want to wield a heavy hammer to break everything in my path!" Baby Mario exclaimed.

"A heavy hammer? Are you sure you'll be able to wield one?" Young Sonic asked.

"Mmhm! Trust me, Sonic!" Baby Mario nodded.

"Well, for now on, it's better for you to use a toy mallet, because normal hammers are too dangerous for babies, you know." Young Sonic said.

"I know that." Baby Mario replied.

"BWAH HA HA HA!" suddenly, a familiar laugh came out of nowhere.

"Hey! That laugh…!" Young Sonic hissed as he and the rest stood up.

Just then, Baby Bowser jumped down from the ceiling and snatched Baby Peach in front of their eyes!

"WAAAAAH!" Baby Peach wailed.

"PEACH!" Young Amy cried out. "Why, you…!" she growled at Baby Bowser.

"BWAH HA HA HA!" Baby Bowser laughed evilly. "I, Prince Bowser, am taking Princess Peach with me! You all can scram!"

"Absolute nonsense!" Young Toadsworth came into the room and glared at Baby Bowser. "I rather think that you'll do NO SUCH THING! EN GARDE!"

However, Baby Bowser shot out flames from his mouth, burning Young Toadsworth's mushroom cap before he faints.

"BWAH HA HA HA!" Baby Bowser laughed.

"Toadsworth!" everyone except Baby Mario and Baby Peach cried out as they went to the downed Young Toadsworth. Baby Mario, angered that his enemy had not only stolen Baby Peach but also burned Young Toadsworth, went in front of Baby Bowser and stood in his fighting stance.

"Your turn, Super Diaper Bro!" Baby Bowser smirked at him.

"I don't think so!" Baby Mario growled and jumped over the flames when Baby Bowser tried to burn him next.

"Oh no! How dare you!" Baby Bowser shouted like a frustrated child while stomping his foot.

Baby Mario took the chance and stomped Baby Bowser's head, leaving him dazed, and…

"Yoink!" Young Sonic taunted playfully as he does a Spin Jump at Baby Bowser's back and managed to knock Baby Peach off of him. Young Amy came in and caught her in time before she hit the ground.

"What the?! Hey!"

"Phhbbbttt!" Young Sonic blew raspberry.

"GRRR!" Baby Bowser growled.

"Finish him, Mario!" Young Sonic grinned.

"Okey Dokey!" Baby Mario grinned back and does one more stomp at Baby Bowser's head, defeating him.

"Urrgh… Blaagh…" Baby Bowser gagged as he tumbles on the ground. "I'm… I'm a PRINCE! I can't lose to you! Bluuuuuuurgh…"

"Woohoo! I did it!" Baby Mario cheered happily.

"Hahaha! Great job, big bro!" Baby Luigi appraised while giggling.

"Looks like you were able to beat Bowser without our help!" Young Tails exclaimed.

"Yeah! But, still… It bothers me how Bowser always comes to crash the party at the worst possible time." Young Sonic rolled his eyes.

Suddenly, some strange noises came in and the castle shook a bit with the windows showing a rainbow limbo, catching everyone's attention.

"Wait… What was that?" Young Sonic questioned, looking around.

*BOOOOOOM!*

All of a sudden, a loud crash was heard from outside, and the whole castle shook violently with pieces of debris falling from the ceiling, startling everyone!

"GAAAAH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Baby Luigi shouted in panic.

Outside, we can see four UFOs blasting the castle's walls, destroying them. Then, the four UFOs flew off, alongside another one.

However, the clouds above opened up, revealing dozens of UFOs! All of them were making their way to the castle…

It seems that the past is in trouble…

To be continued…

You can obviously see the Sonic Generations reference here; the inclusion of Classic Sonic, Classic Tails and Classic Amy! I decided to refer them as 'Young' only, so that I wouldn't have to refer the adult Sonic, Tails and Amy as 'Modern' every single time in my story. I really wanted to include dialogue for Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, since they can speak some lines in the spin-off Mario games they've appeared. I won't make Baby Peach speak, though, since she appears much younger than Baby Mario and Baby Luigi in the game.

Possibly the only major difference comparing this story to its predecessor is the fact that there won't be many Sonic characters showing up in this story, because I couldn't find a way to fit them into my story. So the only Sonic characters that will show up here are Sonic, Tails and Amy.

Quite a short chapter, but definitely a good start, I guess! Next chapter showing the present day coming soon! Please review.
