Even shadows can be adorable.

Vivian couldn't help but smile as she wrote her letter. The pink-haired shadow was busy writing a letter to a certain plumber to tell him how everything has been since their adventure in Rogueport.

"I wonder if he's been doing well," said Vivian to herself as she continued writing.

She wrote about how her sisters were finally starting to be nice to her and how everyone else were doing fine. She also wrote that they missed him dearly. Especially her.

She quickly erased that last part with a blush. There was no way she could gather up the courage to tell him that. Especially since she herself had said that he and Princess Peach made such a cute couple. It wouldn't be fair to him and the Princess if she suddenly tried to get between them. As she thought about it though…

"Maybe I should have just told him," said Vivian with a tinge of regret. "Even if he didn't feel the same, I had at least tried."

As far as she was concerned though, it was too late. He was already home in the Mushroom Kingdom and chances were she'd never get to see him again. A tear rolled down her cheek, which she quickly wiped away.

"I shouldn't be sad over this," she said with a sniff. A watery smile then appeared on her face. "As long as he's happy with the Princess, that's all that really matters!"

She quickly finished up her letter before leaving to drop it off in a mailbox. Even if she missed her chance with Mario, she was happy that they were still friends.

And he will always be the first friend that she ever had and that was good enough for her.

Seriously, Vivian is the most adorable character in any Paper Mario game.
