Dear Mario,

I've only been captured for a few hours but I still miss you. I miss you so much. You don't realize it, you probably think I'm just some needy princess and because you're such a good person you go out there risking your life every weekend to save me.

This certainly isn't the first letter I've written to you. I've probably written you hundreds, but you've only received the ones that start with "Greetings" and end with a simple "Princess Toadstool.", while the others begin with "Dear Mario," and end with "I love you." Those letters have been tossed aside and thrown away because I can't bring myself to send them. This letter will probably be one of those.

I'm sorry that I make you rescue me. I'm sorry I'm so weak. I wish I wasn't, but I am. I have never done anything to help myself. I've never fought back, or run, I just stand there like an idiot and stare helplessly.

I write letters like these so often, Mario. You don't realize it. You probably don't even think of me, you're just trying to slip past all the enemies and fight with everything you have.

You probably hate me. You probably wish you never met me, because if you hadn't you'd still be a simple plumber in Brooklyn with Pauline and Luigi. You wouldn't be busy stomping on mushrooms and turtle shells. I hope that's not what you think, but it most likely is.

I don't tell you my deepest secrets, Mario. I don't tell you that I love you, that I need you, that I depend on you. You don't know that I'm sitting here in my cell, tears falling down my face as I stare out the window praying that you're okay. And you won't ever know. I put up the fake cheery princess front when I'm with you… and you told me you're so impressed with me because I'm still so positive and put together for someone that's been through so much.

It's not the real me. It's just paper over the cracks.

I love you.

Peach

This story depresses me. I realize it's short, but it gets to the point, no? xD

I don't know why I wrote this. If you didn't like it, don't review. I like it. I like how it's written. So… yeah.

I'm probably going to write some more letters, some from Mario and more from Peach.

Sorry if it's too sad for you.

I love you guise!

xoxo
