This is it, the end. Thanks so much for staying with me guys, and thanks a bunch for your reviews! You don't know how much I appreciate it! I'll finish my other story next, and then probably go on to write another (with these characters, of course ;) But thanks for sticking with this one!

Enough moaning from me. Here are the pokemon attacks used in chapter 9: Buneary used attract, charm, frustration and switcheroo in that order, and Pichu used nasty plot, hidden power, and volt tackle. And yes, I am a very big pokemon geek.

On to the Epilogue!

It was late that night when a lone figure returned to the courtyard, and the car.

Making a beeline for the trunk, Marth stopped when he heard a muffled noise nearby. Glancing over, he found Luigi, trying to scream through the gag. Realizing then that they'd left without untying him, Marth hurried to amend that.

After he'd freed Luigi and received perfuse thanks, Marth quietly suggested the plumber escape Peach's castle. Once he was alone again, Marth went back to the car.

Opening the trunk, Marth came eye to eye with a fuming Toad. Knowing what he was about to unleash, Marth sighed and pulled out Toad's gag.

The first thing he was met with was a long line of spluttering curses, which he did his best to ignore while untying Toad.

"What the hell was all that about?" Toad demanded, furious, "I thought we had a deal, Marth! Or did something change?"

"Nothing changed." Marth sighed, fishing around in his pockets, "The deal's still on. I'm sorry about the, um, kidnapping though. That was something else."

"You better be sorry..." Toad growled, but fell silent when Marth withdrew his wallet. Before the knight could do anything, Toad snatched it away, "I'll just take that... reasonable compensation, I'd think."

Marth ran a hand through his hair, "Ok, fine. Can I just have the... package... now?"

Grumbling, Toad pulled off his mushroom hat and stuck a hand inside. A minute later he pulled out a folder and handed it to Marth, "It's all there."

Marth nodded and moved to walk away, then hesitated, "No one will know about this?"

"Not a soul." Toad promised, resettling his hat.

Nodding again, mind elsewhere, Marth shut the trunk and walked away, not even realizing Toad was still inside.

Marth was entirely consumed in his own world, impervious to Toad's angry screeches as he opened the folder and drew out one of the pictures. Sure, Zelda would kill him if she found out, but he'd managed to get away with these purchases up till now, and he couldn't see anything changing any time soon.

Sighing happily, Marth put the picture of the blonde elf away again and quickly tucked the folder inside his tunic. They were good shots-rivalling his best. They'd be a wonderful addition to his collection.

It wasn't long after Marth left the courtyard that Luigi returned, realizing with a greater level of distress than he'd care to admit that he'd forgotten his signature hat.

Retrieving the item and placing it on his head, Luigi was startled to hear noises coming from the trunk.

"Mario?" Luigi called out, his voice shaky.

The yelling grew louder.

Swallowing hard, Luigi approached the trunk and tipped it back. He didn't find Mario, but he did find a highly unamused Toad.

"Oh." Toad said flatly, "It's you."

Luigi stepped back to let Toad leap out of the trunk. He watched curiously as Toad took off his hat and, after fumbling around a moment, yanked out a package.

"Here," Toad said, holding it out, "You can deliver this to Peach. Tell her I'll send the bill."

Not knowing what else to do, Luigi accepted the package and watched as Toad muttered, "I'm outta here." and took off through the gates.

Staring helplessly at the package, Luigi started for the castle. He would just leave it in the hall with a note. That should suffice. He didn't want to have to face Peach again, but it would be morally wrong to just throw away the package.

Just as Luigi reached the steps he tripped and dropped it. Reaching for it, he realized the item that had been inside the package had fallen out.

Picking it up, Luigi next realized the item was a book. Peering at it closer- because it was very dark- Luigi began to make out small pictures.

When Luigi's eyes fully adjusted and he was able to see what was on the page, blood started gushing out of his mouth and nose as he collapsed on the ground.

Right at that moment Pichu walked by, in search of a missing lego. Spotting the book instead of the convulsing Luigi, she picked it up to inspect.

"Hey!" Pichu exclaimed happily when she realized what it was, "This is ecchi, smut, adult, yaoi manga collection 2!"

Hope you liked it and thanks for reading!

The End! (probably should have put that above the line...)
