Okay people, this is me having fun. I use to actually type Mario fics half a decade ago but have since been typing Zelda. A recent turn of events have inspired me to do a short series so enjoy and nice reviews my friends.

Zelda cried out another urge to her horse and gave it a hard kick in the ribs making it run faster. This would be the race to end all races…the flight for the history books..in all these days of her sixteen years..tonight she would die. Because her father was going to kill her for staying out so late. It had been a busy day for her. She spent a lot of it with Link after she visited the Gorons for diplomatic reasons, she went fishing, then played with him and Saria in the Kokiri Forest. After that she went to go horseback riding with Malon, after which they talked and giggled about what she had done with Link that day. Almost there…. She thought biting her lower lip as the castle gates came into view. She wouldn't survive her father's wrath the next day if she missed their closing and had to spend the night outside the castle gates. Ohhh! Malon why must we spend so much time talking in doors?! She hadn't even noticed the sun started to set. She should have just stayed with Malon but it was too late to whine about it now.

Zelda had just about made it to the castle when she heard a baby shriek. The sounds of chattering kesse sounded as well. Zelda tried to ignore it but the baby's frightened cry made her clench her jaw in frustration and abandon the race to aid the child. A flock of kesse flew and darted around a small crying bundle. Zelda dove off her horse and grabbed a stick, crying out in rage and brandishing her weapon. Lucky for her these were kesse and not blins otherwise she would be done for. After bashing in the last tiny monster Zelda stumbled to the small bundle gasping with exertion. "There, there little baby. It's okay." she said soothingly picking up the large bundle. She gawked and almost dropped it unprepared for how heavy it was. "You're a dodongo aren't you?" she chuckled not knowing anything else besides a Goron that could be that heavy when it was a baby, pulling off the blanket and crying out in horror. The baby that cried was large and reptilian, scales covered its body and a large shell with dull tiny spikes covered its back. The only hair on its head was a single red ponytail and its tiny little clawed paws clung to her.

Zelda fought down horror at the ghastly sight of this strange creature. What was it? Link knew everything about monsters he would know, but then again…if it was a monster he would try to kill it. Zelda clung to the crying creature who was easily the size of her torso. "Well..come on." she said grinding her teeth as she lugged it up. "Let's go find somewhere to sleep." she grimaced. It was pitch black out now. Her father was going to kill her. The horse she had brought with her reared back and bolted off the moment she tried to mount it while holding the little creature leaving the miserable princess stranded. You can do this. You can do this. She fought back tears at just how hopeless this all was. The moment the first rain drop fell Zelda had been sobbing since. Beneath a single tree holding the tiny monster close, for she felt an odd protectiveness over it now, she cried herself to sleep.

Bowser growled in annoyance as he trudged through the fields of this odd land. Curses Kamek! He snarled in his thoughts. What the heck were you thinking letting Junior go into your lab?! The young Koopa had ended up falling into one of Kamek's world portals and Bowser, not trusting the wizard to get his son back followed after him. This land was an awful place, although it was full of life…well…it was full of life. Bowser had run into an odd spider crab looking monster that had tried to jump at him. The Koopa King had easily squashed it but now had to rub his feet in the grass as he walked to get the slimy bug guts out from between his toes. It had been dark when he finally made it through the portal and had spent the night wandering through the field searching for Junior. Finally getting frustrated with the game, Bowser sniffed the air and brightened when he caught his son's scent.

It was nearing morning when he finally located his son. He lay beneath a tree nestled up with a sleeping girl. What in the name of koopas was Peach doing here?! He thought in shock seeing golden blond hair. He neared her surprised to find that it was not Peach but another woman. She was lovely. Not Peach at all yet had more than just a little bit of beauty in her peaceful features. Her hair was disheveled though and her dress was soaked..his son looked so peaceful, he hadn't looked that happy since he had first met Peach. Bowser smiled. This one is all alone, hardly going to be missed. My children will have a mother..and I a lovely queen. Best of all…Mario will not even bother me knowing his precious Princess Peach is safely at Mushroom Kingdom.

Zelda slept peacefully the sun that had been previously warming her cheeks though had suddenly been blocked by a shadow making Zelda's eyes flutter open. The tiny monster in her arms let our a loud yawn and stretched, pausing to see her frozen in utter terror. The monster turned around and cried out with joy seeing his father tower over them. "Um…" Zelda stuttered standing up. "I…Is this you…your baby?" she asked backing away seeing a massive beast approach them, its massive feet making the ground quake with each step. "I..I'm sorry. It was dark and.." she reach up with shaking hands holding the squirming baby to its father. The massive beast took the monster child and moved it so it crawled onto his shelled back. Zelda backed up more seeing that the beast was still approaching her until she bumped into the tree. She was just about to scream for help when the beast darted forward and struck her making her head hit the tree and the world around her go black.

Back in the furthest most outskirts of the sand world, Mario smashed another ? Block with his fist making a coin appear, much to his delight this was a multi coin block that would keep producing coins until a certain time. Mario was actually going around collecting coins so he would be able to buy Peach a gift for her birthday next month. He wanted it to be big and special which is why he had been hard at work gathering coins for the past few weeks. He paused staring at the sunny sky when he heard the familiar buzzing sound of Bowser's clown copter. After getting a better look Mario gasped seeing Bowser holding an unconscious form in his arms, her blond hair blowing in the wind. "PEACH!" He cried in horror. Mario raced after it jumping over small bottomless gaps and struggling through quick sand as quickly as he could finally doubling over and gasping. "Curses!" he growled seeing the copter was too far ahead of him now to be of any help. "I have to get Luigi." Mario made his way to Mushroom Kingdom using one of his three magic flutes, the wind hitting his face like a whip as he rushed through the garden to the castle.

"Luigi! We have to get going! Bowser just kidnapped Peach!" he gasped bursting into the room.

"What are you a-talking about Mario?" Luigi asked baffled. Peach had just then come out with a cake in her hands.

"Oh Mario! I was looking for you." she said with a bright smile. "I baked you and Luigi a thank you cake." she paused, her smile fading when she saw Mario gasping for breath. "What's wrong?"

"Wha-?" Mario gaped. "If you're here- then wha-"

"Are you okay-a Mario? Peach I think he needs a shroom shake." Luigi said getting up to get one.

"I..I saw Bowser in his clown copter and he was carrying off a girl with blond hair, I thought-"

"Oh no!" Peach cried. "Bowser has attacked another girl?!" her face grew serious. "I had…where did she come from? Maybe a land outside of the Mushroom Kingdom? Well we have to help her!"

"You're right Peach!" Luigi said standing up, his face grave.

"You don't even know if it was a girl." another voice said from behind them. "Mario was in the sand world right? It could have just been heat playing tricks on him. No need to go running into danger for nothing."

"I know what I saw Toadsworth!" Mario said feeling his heart race at the thought that Bowser had attacked another innocent young maiden. "We have to help her!"

"Right Mario!" Peach said. "I will pack you two some fire flowers and green Mushrooms." Peach rushed out of the room.

"Mario. Are you sure you saw a girl?" the old toad asked. "You are the Mushroom Kingdom champion, we would be lost if anything happened to you-"

"Like you said." Mario smiled. "I am the Mushroom Kingdom Champion. And as long as I live if any being is in need of help I will be there."
