(Song playing "Memory 2" from "Super Paper Mario")

One night, I dreamed about my own mother. I remember that in it, she was just retreating back from me with her back turned...

"Mommy!" I called out to her. "Where are you going?"

"Don't fret, dearest. I'm not going anywhere." she replied without turning around. "I'm always watching over you, like the sun in the day and the moon in the night."

A wave of sadness washed over me, and I desperately ran up to my mother and hugged her. "But... What about when it rains, and I can't see the sun or the moon?" I asked tearfully, as mother gently patted my head.

Then, after some thought, she finally turned to me with a smile and responded, "I will turn into a star in the clouds and wait for your tears to dry."

When I awoke from my dream, my face was damp with tears. I couldn't stop crying, even if I wiped my tears away. Luma happened to hear my sobbing and said to me:

"You have Star Bits in your eyes!"

Wiping my face, I replied, "These are tears, not Star Bits. I'm crying because I'll never see my mother ever again!" I sobbed hard after saying that. Whenever I think about mother... I would always have a sudden urge to cry, and I just can't help it.

That's because... my mother died from cancer when I was still looking for a comet back in my home. I remember how sad Zynthia was during the funeral; she couldn't hold back her tears. It took her several days for her to move on, and that's where she decided to move up to the Star Realm since she couldn't take it anymore.

By hearing my sobs, Luma began to cry too. "Mama, oh, Mama... Waaaah!"

The next few days, we continued to travel through the starry skies, and though we encountered many other comets, none of them held Luma's mother. At this, Luma was despondent and he began to cry again.

"Now, now, Luma. The rain clouds won't go away if you keep crying." I said, cradling Luma in my arms and giving him a gentle squeeze. "I'll give you a present if you stop."

"What present...?" Luma asked.

I gently closed my eyes and said softly, "I'll take care of you."

With those words, I felt a small spark in my heart. And this spark... indicated the start of my motherly role as of today.

Rosalina: Mother...Rosalina shed a tear during her sleep, as she was lying down on one of the couches in front of the Library. Thankfully, no one seemed to notice.

(Song ends)

Mario, Link and the Dragon Quest Heroes flew around and landed on the Observatory, watching the Grand Star plunge itself into the beacon, turning it greenish-blue. A purple pipe gets lit and opened another dome on the back of the Observatory, and this one had purple walls with purple and white curtains that hang above and around it.

Ren: You're back! Hey how'd it go?

Mario: Well, let's just say that we encountered and fought against Bowser's bratty child...and he even went into his impostor form again...He trapped both of us into his goop, but if it wasn't for them who came in just the right time, we would be dead meat!
