'Why...' You were surrounded of fire and the heat made you sweat. What was going on? You wanted to scream for help, but something kept you from not doing so. Then you heard footsteps. They became louder and louder, but they sounded heavy...

'Please don't tell me it's Wario again...' You thought and tried to see who it was.

This couldn't possibly be Wario, the one approaching you was too big and taller than your stalking admirer. It was Bowser.

'Oh great, Mr turtle-dragon has kidnapped me.'

You kept a blank look as he came towards you and walked around you, like you were some prey about to get eaten. Then, to your surprise, he spoke. You knew Bowser would do it at some point, but not now.

"You might wonder why you are here, no?" He asked.

He received no answer though, as you didn't want to show any fear and stay quiet.

"If only Peach was this silent, I wouldn't have to worry about kidnapping her. Although, she has been pretty annoying lately..." He said and crossed his arms, staring at the empty corner of the big room.

"Then, I thought of a new plan. You might have heard a lot of me already, but I wanted to try kidnapping a girl besides Peach." He said and returned his gaze on you, with the flames around that made the air a bit intense.

Still no answer.

"I have been watching you, actually." Bowser said and started to walk around the flames.

'Woho, another stalker. Who's next, Donkey Kong?' You thought and rolled your eyes.

"Hard to believe for you with such innocence and lack of wisdom." He said with a chuckle.

You knew he was testing your patience and pride.

"I'm surprised that the red plumber hasn't come yet. He has rescued two princesses before, but, you aren't exactly royal." Bowser added with some disappointment.

'What is going on, why am I suddenly here and not next to Waluigi?' You thought and then it hit you...

Where is he?

"Such a shame, maybe I'll have my chance by proposing to an outcast, a stranger..."

You couldn't hold it back anymore. You glared at Bowser with all your hate and tried to approach him, but the fire was in the way.

"So now you would make a move? You're even more interesting than Peach is. Such a shame you ended up in this world with losers." He said and smirked, because he knew you were already angry at him.

"Don't you dare say that! Waluigi will find me and stop whatever you're planning!" You would burst out and scanned his face, seeing him rise his eyebrow and chuckle loudly.

"Or else? Watch it girl, you got some guts to speak to me normally and not screaming." He said and stepped inside the fire prison you were stuck in.

"Yes, this world is full of losers, if you haven't noticed..." Bowser said and mumbled a curse before he gazed down on you.

Compared to his usual victim,  you were slightly shorter than Peach.

"But back to topic, my dear. Yes, I've been watching you ever since you attended to the crowd earlier. I would never care usually, but when you made that fat plumber distracted, there was something special about you. Not because of your evil little plan, but also the spirit of yours." He said and walked around in circles again, making you even more uncomfortable.

The heat from the fire, him mentioning previous events and you being stuck with Bowser. This didn't make sense, at all.

"Then I noticed how you approached the purple plumber. Oh boy, he surely got you in his thorns..." He said and turned his back against you outside the burning fire.

"What are you talking about?" You asked suspiciously.

"This is why love never works in this place, because eventually, someone would realize it's too good to be true." He mentioned  and turned his head to you.

With the fire in front of Bowser, his appearance frightened you more.

"Wait... How did you watch me if you were just in the race?" You asked.

"Simple, human. I ordered some of my minions to keep an eye on you after the race. They told me everything they noted and here you are. At least you won't have to get into a foolish loser's hungry grasp..." Bowser said and narrowed his eyes while looking at the wall.

"But, why me?" You asked again, starting to sound like an eager curious child.

"And here I thought you were the silent type... You really surprise me..." He said and shook his head.

"Well, according to what they told me about you, you aren't even from this world. Also, you appeared pretty naive."

"I'm not naive, I am just willing to help others in need." You said and gritted your teeth.

"Perhaps you've been willing too much? I mean really, how could you get into a relationship with Waluigi so quickly? Maybe it wasn't just your feelings, maybe your instinct played a role there..." He said and waited for an answer.

Again, the room would be filled with silence except the fire that still was alive.
Perhaps Bowser was right, you thought.

'I feel so stupid...' You thought.

"Too surprised? You should've realized it earlier, doll-face." He said and made the fire around you disappear.

You flinched as the heat suddenly disappear.

"W-why d-did you do this...?" You said weakly and stared on the cool floor, starting to feel your eyes get watered.

"I didn't do anything, it was you who finally could face the true facts. You and Waluigi aren't in love. He is a pure player..." Bowser said slyly, which made you scared.

"A pure player..." He said again and watched as you fell on your knees.

You put your hands on your face and cried out.

"Noooo!"

When you removed your hands from your face, your eyes went wide-open to see Waluigi's room, still dark like it was before you fell asleep, but with the moon about to lower.

'Phew, it was just a nightmare... But it felt so real.' You thought and then looked to your left, seeing Waluigi still in a deep slumber.

'What have I got myself into? Here I am, sleeping with my "love"...'

Something made you feel uncomfortable at that moment. It was not Waluigi, no, he is just too sweet, but the fact Bowser had told you how he had watched you...

'Maybe I should just take a walk to refresh myself.' You thought and would carefully head to pick some of your new clothes and change into them.

You already felt sorry for leaving Waluigi shortly, but you had to get your mind think of other stuff than the nightmare you had. Eventually, you put your shoes on and left the room to then go out from the building.

The dawn was minutes ahead, but you could still see the stars above. They were beautiful, you thought. Then it reminded you of the blonde woman you had seen in Mario Kart 8. Rosalina, the one who was some kind of leader in the universe.
You thought she was mysterious, yet interesting. She also had a calm voice, at least from what you could tell when you played Super Mario Galaxy.

Oh, you really wanted to go home now. You missed your family and friends more than ever.
"Stupid game, I should've gone back to sleep." You mumbled and would fist your hand in anger and left some tears fall on the ground.

You never realized footsteps approaching you before you felt a finger poke your shoulder lightly.
You turned around quickly and to your surprise, a man you never expected to face at this very moment stood there.

"What-a are a lady like you doing-a here?" The Italian plumber asked.

Oh boy, you really didn't expect to meet Mario under your visit. Sure you had seen him at the cup, but in the dawn all alone?
A big no.

"You were the one who-a cheered for Waluigi, right? I heard-a my younger brother mention a girl who he thought was Waluigi's girlfriend, yes?" He asked with a warm smile.

Would Mario ever stop smiling and be so optimistic?

"I... I don't know." You answered.

"Why are you crying? Did he hurt you?" Mario asked and wiped your tears away.

'Why can't all guys here learn about personal space?' You thought and took a step back, obviously not wanting Mario to touch your face.

"No but... I don't know if I like him. I mean... We kissed." You mentioned and heard him gasp.

"Mama mia, it is true-a then!" He said.

"No no... You see, I had a... Eh, forget it." You said and started to walk away.

"Miss, I am willing to listen-a. Maybe I can help you." Mario said and looked on you with a smile.

"You sure?" You asked and gazed on the red plumber.

"My ears are always-a open. Go ahead, miss."

"Just call me (y/n), please. Hearing "miss" makes me slightly annoyed." You said.

"Okie dokie!" Mario said.

"Now, it was after I fell asleep I had this strange event..." You started and told Mario everything about the nightmare.

"Wait, (y/n), about what-a he said about me only rescuing-a princesses is not true. I save anyone in need." He added.

"I figured it out later, but after I woke up, I wanted to take a walk and get this out of my mind. Ever since he called me naive, I feel foolish." You said and gazed upon the brightest star, the only one that was in your sight as it was starting to get lighter.

"Don't feel like-a that, I'm sure he likes you. Maybe you and him have been-a rushing about it, but come on, you can't just believe anything that a turtle-dragon says, yes?" Mario said and smiled warmly at you.

"I say, you are really interesting, (y/n). I hope you can-a think of something else than that evil monster. Also, I hope you find your home." And with that, he patted your shoulder lightly and left.

"Wait! How do you know that?" You shouted out to the red plumber.
Mario chuckled and turned his gaze to you.

"In this world, you would-a never find someone so full of life and caring. I might sound crazy, but Waluigi is lucky."

You saw as he went away and became smaller and smaller. The sun started to rise over the horizon and shun it's first rays over you.
You had mixed feelings, but Mario's comfort actually helped you. Perhaps you were overreacting.

Indeed the relationship between you and Waluigi had grown quickly, but maybe there was something more than the connection you two had.

'But, what is it?' You thought and trotted your way back to the apartment.
Luckily, Waluigi was still sleeping and you could change back to your pajamas and go back to sleep.

You nuzzled against his chest and soon would you fall asleep again.

'What a day, no, night, what a weird night...'
