Chapter 5

Peach: The Koopa Princess

Chapter 5: Will you marry me?

“No, please don’t open it Mario” said Peach in a sad voice on the other side of the door. “But why Princess, what’s the matter?” asked Mario in a concerned voice. “You would not like what you see Mario, trust me” said Peach. “Well whatever it is Peach, it should be alright” said Mario trying to comfort Peach.

Then Mario opened the door and saw Peach in her new and actually pretty lovely Koopa form. Peach was so ashamed of Mario seeing her like this and covered her face, “I know Mario, I must look horrible to you, don’t I?” said Peach. “What are you talking about Peach, what happened to you?” asked Mario. Peach then uncovered her face and then told about Bowser’s plan to turn her into a Koopa so that Mario would avoid Peach and she would marry Bowser so that he could rule the Mushroom Kingdom. “Don’t worry Peach, once I get you out of here, I will find a wizard to change you back” said Mario. “I am sorry Mario, but this spell is permanent, I am trapped as a Koopa forever, no magic can undo this spell” Upon hearing this, Mario’s face sadden a little. “You see Mario, you don’t want me anymore, just go on back to your world you came from and let Bowser…marry me” commanded Peach in a very sad tone.

Then after a little while Mario’s sadness pasted him, “No Peach, I will not leave you behind and let Bowser marry you!” said Mario, “You are maybe trapped as a Koopa forever, but that does not matter, you are still that sweet princess inside that Koopa body and nothing can change that, not even a spell” “You mean it doe not matter that I am now a Koopa Mario?” asked the Princess. “No it doe not Princess, besides I think you are kind of overreacting with your looks, you are really quite lovely as a Koopa” said Mario in a playful comforting tone. Peach then took another look in the full sized mirror, “Do you really think so Mario?” asked Peach. “Yes I do Princess, now let’s get out of here!” shouted Mario.

Then Mario took Peach’s Koopa hand to lead her out the door. Then Mario remember something, “Oh, I just remembered something, there is something I want to ask you” “Go ahead Mario, what is it?” asked Peach. Mario then put one knee on the floor and opened the jewelry box that showed a nice ring and said, “Peach…Will you marry me?” Peach was overjoyed here these words from Mario and waiting for this question for a long time, “Yes, I will Mario” and then she gave a passionate kiss on Mario’s lips. And then after all the joy and excitement of marriage both Mario and Peach walked out of the private prison to escape Bowser’s castle.
