One afternoon, Mario and Bowser was walking along the road(they are friends) while Luigi is at home with Toad(Luigi's best friend) playing cards. While Mario and Bowser were walking they saw a castle, with cement walls and red roofs, at first they didn't recognize the castle. It wasn't until they got to the doors and saw the symbol of the Royal Family, but not just any royal family, The greatest of them all, the Toadstool family. Mario and Bowser decided that the people inside were not going to let them in, so they started walking back home, when they heard the gates start to open, and in a panic they dove into some bushes nearby, and watched the gate. What they saw wasn't what they expected, it was even better. What they saw were two princesses the first was unmistakably Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom, and The other was Princess Daisy of Sarasaland. They watched as the two princesses started walking down the road. Mario and Bowser was so dumbfounded they didn't move, all they could do is stare at the two beautiful princesses. They stayed that way for a long time, it wasn't till Mario made a move to catch up with the princesses who were already disappearing over the hill. When he caught up to them, they looked confused, so Mario introduced himself "Hey, my names Mario", the two ladies said in unity "nice to meet you", after a few minutes of Mario talking to the two ladies, Bowser finally caught up. Huffing and puffing. Mario asked him if he was okay, and Bowser replied with a nod. So they continued walking. They walked passed their house were Luigi and Toad were still playing a long game of War(with the cards) as they were walking by Luigi spotted Mario and went to greet him. After they high fived Luigi noticed the princesses for the first time, and said "Oh… I'm sorry your majesties, didn't meant to iterr-" Peach cut him off saying "No need to apologize, we were only having a friendly conversation, nothing seriously important.", "Yeah" Mario chimed in, "Don't sweat it bro." he said this as he patted Luigi on the back, Lugi felt better. He went back to his Card game with Toad, and Mario, bowser, and the princesses continued walking. After a few hours they arrived at Sarasaland, Daisy turned to everyone else in the group of 4, and said "Thank you for walking me home, Have a safe trip back" she gave Peach a hug, and turned around and walked away, going home, Peach said "well, guess it's time for me to walk home", and Mario said that he'd walk with her, and she agreed. So they started walking back, with bowser trailing behind. When they got to the castle, Peach invited Mario in, and told Bowser that she was sorry he couldn't come in. When he asked why, she said that her father doesn't allow koopas in the kingdom. Bowser looked hurt, he said "oh.. Well that's alright" he turned to Mario "Have fun dude" and they fist bumped. A few hours pass and Mario was eating dinner with the Royal family after Peach insisted, stating that without Mario she would have walked home alone, and that a koopa could have easily kidnapped her. After dinner the king told Mario that he'd better get home, cause his friends would probably be worried about him, and Mario took his advice and left, bowing once to both the princess, and the King. Later that night. Bowser still seem hurt after what happened at the castle, Mario tried to cheer him up, but to no avail. Mario asked him why he was being a big baby, sounding playfull, Bowser didn't seem to notice, and got mad saying "Well, Maybe if you were such a jerk than I wouldn't be sad right now", they got into a serious argument, That almost esculatted to a fight if Toad didn't step in between them, Bowser and Mario shared a few curse words, and Mario, furious now, said nothing, while he watched Bowser leave. 5 years passed since then, and no one had seen Bowser since. Over the course of those five years, Mario became one of the two royal guards, which are him and Luigi, and he also started dating Peach(with approval of the king). Then one day while Mario was walking outside, He heard a crash, and a man yelp in pain. He ran towards it, and what he saw he couldn't believe. It was Bowser holding peach, Mario yelled "BOWSER...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" bowser just laughed, and said "Call me KING Bowser" That's when Mario noticed the real King lying limp 4 feet to his right. Mario gasped, and ran and crouched by the King's side. He was still alive, but dying quick, there was no way he could live. Mario looked up at Bowser and yelled with tears in his eyes "WHY, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, WHY", Bowser again chuckled "YOU are the reason why Mario" and that's when he jumped, Mario reacted and caught the back of his shell and went with him. Bowser landed on his feet with a thud, but Mario wasn't so lucky he was thrown off Bowser's back, hitting a rock. But he got up,a little dazed, and faced Bowser who was still holding Peach(who was crying). Mario said "Bowser put the princesses down gently, it's bad enough you killed her Father in front of her, if any physical harm comes to her, I will person rip your shell of your back", Bowser chuckled, "okay" He dropped peach, she hit the ground hard, and was knocked out. Mario told bowser to back away from her. Bowser did, with a smile. Mario ran over to Peach picked her up(never taking his eyes of Bowser), and setting her down against a rock. Then he turned back to face Bowser, who was standing there with a smug look on his face. Mario was furious, he lunged at Bowser and knocked him backwards, Mario realized the only way to defeat Bowser without killing him was to get him on his back, and bowser seemed to notice Mario's gaze, Bowser tried to take a cheap shot and aimed to hit the princess with a fireball when Mario deflected it with the wrench he had in his overalls. And said "How dare you try and hit the princess", being careful not to say "my girlfriend" cause that would only put her in more danger. Bowser laughed "all's fair in war, Mario you taught me that" Mario had no idea what he was talking about, but he lunged at bowser again, Bowser was ready this time, but that's what mario wanted, when Bowser went to punch Mario, he grabbed his fist and started spinning. Bowser started yelling. Mario said "I've always wanted to see a flying turtle." and he let go, sending Bowser flying, he hit the ground about 10 feet from mario, spinning on his back, He yelled in fury "I'LL BE BACK MARIO, JUST YOU WAIT". Then like magic he disappeared. Mario looked around and realized that he knew where he was, it was the same spot where he and Bowser met, 5 years ago. Mario was sad, but he didn't show it. He went over to Peach, knelt beside her and examined her wounds. She coughed and opened her eyes, asking "uh..Mario, what happened?, and where's bowser?", Mario assured her that he's gone, but also told her of his threat. After that Mario carried Peach back to the castle where he was greeted by all the Mushroom people, Daisy and Luigi was there(who started dating 5 months ago). But none of them looked happy, and Mario knew why, they had just lost the best king that the Mushroom Kingdom ever had, and the nicest, and most bravest man Mario knew.
