This takes place after the Main game of Mario Odyssey. All including my head cannons.

It had been a couple of days since Mario and co returned from the moon to the Mushroom Kingdom. In that brief period, Mario decided to show his new friends Cappy and Tiara around the kingdom and enjoy the rare moments of peace the crazy kingdom would get. Of course, as soon as it came, it quickly went when Cappy decided they should do some more traveling, which Mario agreed. Rarely did Mario ever have a chance to enjoy himself on his travels, since he always had his mind-set on his goals; save the world, stop Bowser, and bring Peach home. When the Princess came to mind, he ran towards the castle to see if she and Tiara would like to accompany him and Cappy on their quest to find the remaining power moons, but when he got there, the castle was in disarray. The castle staff was running around, freaking out. One of the toads eventually told Mario the princess had packed up her belongings and took off with Tiara.

This scared both Mario and Cappy, but Toadetta managed to explain that Peach and Tiara decided to take a trip around the world, but they didn't have time to inform everyone because the Toad brigade's their ride, and they were leaving fast, so Peach entrusted Toadetta with the message. Unfortunately, she didn't count on several toads freaking out. Knowing there were still power moons out there, Mario and Cappy decided to follow the girls in the Odyssey.

The boys' first stop was the Cap Kingdom, Cappy and Tiara's home and where the super duo first met. Mario didn't have to look very far to find Peach and Tiara near the kingdom square. Instead of wearing her traditional pink dress, Peach wore a black peacoat, black tights, black high heels, black gloves, a black beret, a gray scarf, and her blue broach. It was different not seeing her wear pink, but in his eyes, no matter what the princess wore, Mario always thought she looked beautiful. After greeting his fair lady and his companion's sister, the red plumber explained the situation to the princess, who blushed in embarrassment.

"I guess I should have told them sooner," Peach chuckled nervously, "I'm sorry boys, this was a spur of the moment thing."

"When the toad brigade said they were going on a trip around the world and offered us to come with, we had to hurry." Tiara chimed in.

"I didn't mean to put Toadetta in that situation or worry everyone."

"It's okay Princess," Mario replied with a smile, "Though you could have asked me and Cappy since we're still collecting power moons."

"We would have taken you two," Cappy added.

"I know, we just didn't want to bother you that's all." Peach explained.

"Well do be careful," Cappy said.

"Don't worry big brother," Tiara said cheerfully, "I'll stay by Peach. After I show her our home we're gonna head to the next kingdom."

"Yes, I am curious if the dinosaurs enjoy basking in the sun." Peach said with a smile.

After finding all the moons in the Cap Kingdom, Mario and Cappy went to the Cascade kingdom, hoping to catch up with the girls. They managed to find them at the top near the waterfall, this time Peach dressed like an explorer, once again looking rather stunning. The couple and their bonneter companions chatted for a while about the kingdom.

"There's so much to explore around here," Peach said giddily, "Although, now that I think about it, I would love to see those ruins again. Now, where were they?"

"You mean the ones in the Sand Kingdom?" Mario asked.

"Yes, that's right."

"Its also where that giant ring is located," Tiara added.

"If you ladies like we could act like you tour guides." Mario said giving Peach a slight bow, "I insist."

"Oh, no no," Peach said almost hesitantly, "It's okay."

Mario looked up at the princess in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure Mario," Peach said, "We'll be fine."

Before Mario could say anything else, the Toad Brigade's ship floated and landed next to them. Captain Toad waved at Mario and ushered Peach and Tiara into the Ship, they were on a tight schedule and had to keep moving. The girls waved goodbye to the boys and took off, leaving behind Cappy and a stunned Mario. Cappy took notice of his friend's surprised reaction.

"You okay Mario?" he asked with concern.

"Yeah, I guess," Mario answered, still in disbelief by what just happened.
