My Love For You Never Dies

Chapter 1: First Confession, First Kiss

Author's note: Based on Super Mario Galaxy mixed with Paper Mario.

HELLO EVERYBODY! So happy that by some unknown reason in the universe, you've made it here, and are reading my story! So please enjoy! The couple is Mario and Peach of course! I have been wanting to write this for a very long time, and now the time is here! Please be sure to review OK?

Warning: Don't expect another chapter unless there's 5 or more reviews for each chapter.

Sadly, I don't own Mario. (cries hysterically) OK, I am done. I do own Khira, Mario and Luigi's sister and the story of course!

On with the story!

Mario and Luigi were sitting in their house one day, as usual. Their sister Khira, on another mission, also as usual. It was quiet in the Mushroom Kingdom that afternoon. Until Luigi broke the silence.

"Boy today is sure peaceful, eh, bro?" Luigi said, (even though he knew the answer).

"Yeah." Mario said, sounding really bored.

But he wasn't even paying attention to what his brother had to say more of. Partly because it was absolutely boring and lame, but it was mostly because he was thinking about the woman that he loved more than anything. Peach.

Peach, her long blonde hair, her sapphire blue eyes, her creamy white skin. He sighed. He loved having Peach around. But since they had defeated the Shadow Queen in the Palace of Shadow, she had been distant. Lately, he had started having feelings for her. Some feelings that he feared of ever revealing to anyone, especially Peach, because he was so afraid of being rejected like when Pauline had broke up with him so long ago.. He sighed again. This time, it got Luigi mad.

"….and that is why she is keeping her distance. Hey? HEY? Are you listening?" Luigi shouted.

"Huh?" Mario said in surprise. Wondering what would happen next.

"Ugh!" Luigi growled. "Do you ever listen to me?"

"Uhhhhh," Mario started.

Luigi groaned. "Don't answer that."

Just then, a noise outside happened to become realized. It was none other than the fearful mail carrier of them all, Parakarry.

"Mail Call!" his voice was heard loud in clear, as usual. Just as in the adventure of trying to get the Star rod back from Bowser. But then he flew off, in a hurry clearly. Luigi went outside to get the mail from the mailbox. Then hurried back inside.

"Hey Bro! You have a letter from Princess Peach!" said Luigi, calling to his brother in the nearby bedroom. Mario's head went up in a flash, and raced back to the middle room.

"I'll just read it for…" Luigi began, but Mario snatched it out his hands, and opened it and began reading it.

Dearest Mario,

I have to speak to you about something important. It concerns you and me. I have thought about this for a while, and have tried hiding it, but I can't hold it in any longer and I have to tell you sooner or later. What I'm trying say is that you must come to Rogueport and meet me on the Excess Express. Please come alone. Like I said this involves only you and me. Don't rush.

Peach

Mario got changed, washed, and quickly took all he needed to get to Rogueport as soon as possible. Was that why Peach was avoiding him? He wondered out as he headed through Toad Town. Some people greeted him as he walked by and he smiled in reply. But he kept on running. He got the ticket to leave for Rogueport, and waited for a boat. Finally the boat appeared in the foggy distance. Mario began to wave his arms, trying to tell the captain that he was the one who was going to be his passenger.

"Ello, mate. Where to?" the sea captain asked.

"To Rogueport, please. I've got a friend there waiting for me." Mario said.

The old man laughed. "Now that's the first time I've 'eard anyone say they got a mate in that ole place. 'Sure yeh wanna go?"

Mario nodded.

"Alright, I trust yeh mate. All aboard for Rogueport! Next stop, Rogueport!"

Mario hopped in. And the boat was out of the harbor. At sunset, Mario stepped out of the boat, to watch the sunset. Just as he began to look, something that appeared like a shooting star surrounded by white blades was flying straight towards the ship. Mario wanted to scream but couldn't. But when he finally got it out, a voice cut him off.

"Pipe down, bro, it is just me."

The star type thing came down to the boat, and it turned into a beautiful young woman, dressed in a black top and blue overalls, brown boots that came up to her knees, moonlight white hair tied in a ribbon, snow white skin, slender, and blue eyes. On her shoulder, was a yellow creature with a bolt as its tail, yellow all over, red cheeked, and had a blue sapphire star hanging from its neck. It was none other than Khira, Mario and Luigi's elder sister, and her companion, Sparky. She sat down where Mario was sitting and began to speak.

"Off to Rogueport again, are we?" She teased.

Mario did not reply.

"You're very quiet. That's not like you. What is the matter?" she asked full of concern.

"Why did you follow me?" he asked.

"I was headed for home when I saw you on the boat, looking at the sunset. Is it not pretty?" Mario turned away from her.

"So tell me, what's so important for you to go Rogueport?"

"I'm going to see Peach. But I don't want you there when I'm talking to her." He said.

"Fine. Don't worry about me. I'm going to buy something special for Sparky. But, I must request that you and I travel home together."

"Pika pi!"

After a while of talking and a few suns and moons that set, the boat finally pulled into the Rogueport harbor. Khira and Sparky waved goodbye and then went off in another direction while Mario went to the west side where the Excess Express was and got on. Wondering where Peach might be. He headed for the kitchen, where he was greeted by the waitress, Chef Shimi, and a few toads greeted him.

"Hello Mario! Would you like something to eat while this train heads to Poshley Heights?" Chef Shimi asked.

"No thanks, but maybe later. Tell me, have you seen this girl?" Mario held up a picture of Peach. Shimi studied the picture but shook his head.

"No sir, but maybe you should talk to the conductor. He sees everything on this train and doesn't let anything out of his sight."

"Thanks."

Mario went to the back of the train. Found the conductor waiting for him.

"Mario, old friend, how have you been? Need a favor?" the conductor asked.

Mario nodded and explained everything.

"Hmmm. Ah, of course! There was a beautiful young woman sitting in the train's balcony. She said that she was waiting for a man to arrive. I guess she was referring to you, Mario. Uh, go see if it is Princess Peach. I'll let you pass."

Mario thanked him and proceeded forward. He climbed the ladder onto the balcony, to the girl that was waiting for him.

There was Peach. Dressed in her usual pink dress, white gloves, golden crown, and her hair was up but it was blowing in the wind. After a while, it was she that broke the silence.

"Oh, Mario! You came to see me, you're so sweet!" Peach exclaimed.

"Peach, it's nice to see you again." Mario looked up at her.

"I just came up here so I could watch the mountains and feel the air. But you are here now, so there is no need to stay here. Let's go back to my room, and I'll explain why I invited you here."

Peach began climbing down the ladder with Mario behind her. In a few minutes they were in Peach's room. Peach sat down on the seats, near the window. Mario just stood there, wondering what she was going to say. Peach once again broke the silence.

"Oh, Mario, you don't have a place to sit. Hmm. Why don't you sit on my bed?" Peach suggested.

Mario raised an eyebrow and then knowing that Peach was serious; he advanced towards the bottom bed and sat on it. He looked at Peach and got the impression that she did not know what to say next.

"So, not that it isn't good to see you, why did you call me to meet you here?" Mario asked, curiously.

"Well, umm… Well you see… Mario…." She just couldn't get the words out of her mouth, whatever she was planning on saying at all.

"Are you alright, Peach? You know that you can come and talk to me about whatever problems you have." Mario said. "I'll always be there for you, no matter what."

"Oh, yes. I am fine, Mario. And believe me, I do appreciate that. I'm just trying to figure out how to put this."

Mario just waited and waited, still wondering what she was planning to say. But she turned her back for a moment and then all of a sudden turned around again, seriousness in her face.

"Mario, I want you to listen to me very clearly. Just please promise you won't freak out at what I'm about to say, but I just want you to know how I feel. You are not like the other men that try to court me and ask my hand in marriage. They're arrogant, rude, stupid, pumpous windbags that don't know their place and are quite the rudest people that you could ever meet. But then there's you, and you're so much different than that. What I'm trying to say is Mario; you are different from the other men. You are a very special man to me."

"What…"

But before someone could say another thing, the bell rang.

"Bing Bong Bing Bong. Attention passengers, we will be arriving Poshley Heights in a few minutes. We hope that your ride has been safe and most comfortable. Thank you for riding the Excess Express!"

"Meet me at the fountain." Peach said as soon as the train stopped.

Mario and Peach made it to the fountain and nobody was watching them.

"As I was saying somehow it's different with you. Mario, I've never loved or cared about anyone or anything the way that I feel about and love you," Peach said.

Mario felt himself blushing and turned his back to her.

"But," she said. Mario's heart sank. "I know that you would never love a girl like me. I mean look at me and look at you. We can't compare. You're my best friend, the man that rescues me all the time. I know that of all the girls that you've met are better looking and smarter and much more interesting than a girl like me. I mean, I'm a princess, and no one wants to live a life of a royal, and even if they did, they wouldn't marry a royal for love. They would just marry them for the throne and for riches. And I know that you're better than that, but still, I don't even think you love me..."

The next thing that Peach knew was that someone brought her face from not facing Mario and had both their hands on either side of her face, and that someone was pressing their lips to hers, except it wasn't just any someone, it was Mario. Peach was really surprised at first but didn't fight him. She loved him with all her heart, and ever since she first met Mario, she just knew that she loved him. First it was a simple admiration, then it turned into a crush, and then it turned into what she felt for him now. Love.

Peach slowly closed her eyes, and kissed him back as she had wanted to for so many years now. I guess that now after so many years of wanting this moment, she knew that he probably loved her as much as she loved him for so long.

And she smiled through the kiss, because he finally knew that she loved him.

And that kiss went on for a while, because that's how long the two of them had held their love for each other, so why stop now?

That's it! I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOYED IT!
