Okay, I just caught up with the bros, so we're good now. I explained to them what I had been through the past 9 months.

Me: So yeah...there's been a lot going on since I last saw you guys. But can we do catching up later? I have a feeling that something's not right.

But we were suddenly surrounded by darkness which covered the whole sky. I got scared fearing the worst. We hurried into the castle where we'd be safe for a while. Luigi asked me what that was, but I couldn't give him answers.

Me: No idea, this is my first time seeing something like that.

I stared at the ground, there's was nothing we could do at the moment. I looked at my geode and thought about the last time I was here.

Me: Bowser's a lot stronger than I thought. Last time, he tried to steal my magic. But it only works for me. At least he-

I suddenly heard Bowser outside.

Me: One second.

I went outside and quickly beat him up, I went back into the castle

Me: Like I was saying. At least he knows what he's up against. There's no way he's gonna try that again.

I knew what I was talking about, Bowser's tries the same routine all the time and fails every time. Kidnaps Peach, fail, take over the world, fail. But...what if he found out about my inner demon? That was especially difficult for me. I thought I'd be stuck with her forever...Nah, there's no way he would, he's not that smart.

Me: Are you any of you familiar with dark magic?

Mario told me about the Dark Star, Cackletta, the Shroobs, Antasma, King Boo, even the crossover with the Rabbids.

Me: Right, right, forgot about those.

I crossed my arms and turned to Mario.

Me: Mario, when are you and Peach gonna get married? When I see you two, I see this?

I showed them a photo on my phone of a perfect couple kissing. Mario just shrugged, of course he didn't know. After over 40 years, still nothing? After all that kissing and rescuing! I sat on the floor, I was getting a little too caught up with asking personal questions. We really needed to focus on the situation, but I had nothing in mind at the moment.
