It was a sunny day in the Mushroom kingdom. The birds were chirping and everyone was very happy. Small children were playing in the ponds , enjoying the beautiful summer weather.
A dark cloud covered the sun. As the children scampered inside, a very familiar airship could be seen heading towards the Mushroom Kingdom.

Peach shivered in the throne room as she looked out the window.

A feeling of deepest dread, which was normal for her by this point, was lodged deep in her stomach.

"He's coming.'' She let out a soft whimper of fear. She really did not want to get kidnapped again.

On the roof, A black haired girl backed up and jumped off, using her bungee cord.

She wanted to get at least one more good jump in before Bowser kidnapped her sister and she had to beg Toadsworth to let her go save Peach herself.
If she didn't, the Mario Brothers would end up having to go through all the hassle of going through Bowser's children.
She could just as easily fly after the airship and take Peach back herself.

Bowser cackled as he slammed through the wall into the throne room where Peach now stood, shivering in fright.

"Soon, you will be back at my side and we can finally be together, Peachy!" He roared.

The Hammer brothers, who were Bowser's first Battalion of warriors, landed and ran into the castle skidding to a stop behind their master.

Luigi and Mario , who had just arrived , stood in front of Peach protectively as Bowser, and only Bowser came at them.

"What a rush!" Raven, who was the girl on the roof, cheered as she entered from behind the throne . She skidded to a halt behind Peach and automatically stepped in front of her. She had been just in time to save her.

Bowser paused to glance curiously at the girl who had just entered.

He had never seen her before. The reason behind that was because Raven was always doing sword training somewhere and only stopped for her royal duties, which she had very little of. Those, of course, were mandatory.

"So this is Bowser huh sis?You know-''she began to talk very fast and very low."I have always said that evil people would not be so evil if they got a hug ever now and then, may I try?"

Mario rolled his eyes

"Mamma mia, if you think it will worka princess go for it" he replied

Raven walked up to the giant Koopa not ten feet away and smiled shyly

"Um ,I am trying to prove a point, so if you could possibly not tear me asunder or burn me , it would be greatly appreciated."she spoke. Without even waiting for his answer, Raven ducked under his massive arms and put her arms as far around his chest that she could go.

This feels nice, Raven thought, as she began to pull wind was knocked out of her as something hit her hard in the back.

It was Bowser's spiked bracelet things.
It ripped through Raven's white tank top and drew blood.

Is he hugging me back?She questioned herself , in shock and in pain.

She ducked under his arms and wincingly ran back over, triumphantly.

"See Mario?I told you!" She stuck her tongue out at him.

Bowser had a look of confusion on his face. He roared finally and lumbered over to Peach.

"You are mine, Peachy." He hissed, reaching for her. This time, he would not let Mario stop him. This time Peach would be his.

Peach stood up taller than usual, her blue eyes crackling with anger. She had had enough of this. Bowser had just injured her sister, which was something she would not stand for.

"No.I love Mario not you!I never will love you, you primitive monster! I hate your guts, get out of my kingdom and out of my sight." She was yelling by now.

Bowser almost fell over in shock. Never before had she yelled at him like this and she most certainly had never insulted him like that before.

After a twenty minute argument where the two of them yelled a lot, Bowser left, looking almost heartbroken.

Raven sighed and let her wings slide out of her back. They had a habit of going under her skin to hide themselves. She cracked them like you would a pair of knuckles. Raven loved them because they were big and white, like angel wings. But they were a hassle to keep hidden. Most times, if they didn't slide back in, she would have to use a harness to keep them close to her back.

"I am going to go fly, get the cramps out of my wings, Peach. I'll be back" She called over her shoulder as she walked out.

Raven used to live in Sarasaland with her sister Daisy, the more adventurous of her two sisters.
However , thanks to certain things she has done , Raven was living with Peach, the more refined one.

The girl spread her wings and flew out the door.

As Raven flew over the castle, She spotted Bowser on one of the cliffs talking to looked very upset and miserable.

Curious now, Raven flew a little closer to hear what he was saying.

"Peach , why won't you love me?" he whispered, pain in his voice." All I want to do is make you happy. Is that so much to ask?"

Making up his mind, he straightened up and leaped off the cliff to the dark blue waters below.

Now very shocked about the sudden turn of events, Raven shot down towards him, practically a marble streak in the sky.

He hit the water with a loud SPLASH!

Like a dagger, She flew down into the cold water. Her eyes stung as she searched through, looking for him.

She spied a blazing mane of hair and swam quickly down to him tossing him over her shoulder.

With him half unconscious, their heads broke the surface of the water . The beach, being only a few metres away, was rather convenient. She began pulling him to shore quickly, worried that he wasn't breathing.

Once he was on dry land, she began to give him mouth to mouth and doing compression on his chest , just like the Sarasaland doctor had showed her after Raven had expressed an interest in sword fighting.

She did not know if it would help.

Raven knew fully well that he was the enemy and would probably stab her right in the back as soon as she revived Him. However, her mother had always taught her to respect every living creature, no matter how evil.

So she had to try.
