Heart of Dreams

Chapter 1

One beautiful day in Mushroom Kingdom, the skies were the blue and the birds were flying high. Luigi James Manfredi and his older twin brother, Mario Gregory Manfredi, were running through Boo Woods with Violet Jasmine Calico (wearing her favorite hat, a purple hoodie that came just short of her stomach, purple caprice, and white shoes) right on their heels. Polterpup (Spettro) was playing in the backyard as he watched them go. It was a few months after the Dark Moon incident. You recently, in fact, 25 minutes ago - the three of them were informed that Princess Peach had got an invitation to Pi'illo Island. They all had been invited to have a vacation in the resort on the island.

"Finally, a relaxing vacation," Violet commented.

"Yeah where there will be no Bowser Jr. to frame me in a crime," Mario stated, remembering his fiasco on Isle Delfino.

"Which is a great thing, we all need some rest," Luigi replied.

Violet responded, "Peach still could've gave us a fair warning about this!"

Mario pointed out, "Well, the invite just arrived, after all."

Luigi smiled and told them, "Man, I don't care. I get to be away from ghosts, Chaos Hearts, and more specifically - Bowser!"

Eventually, the three of them made it to Princess Peach's castle and they saw a blimp overhead. They ran to the top of the castle and saw the box dog in the blimp with a few Toads, Toadsworth, and Peach. Mario boarded first as Violet was the next to get on. The blimp started to take off but Luigi jumped out of the castle at the last minute.

Peach breathed, "Oh no!"

Toadsworth cried out, "Master Luigi!"

Violet jumped out of the blimp and grabbed Luigi. Luckily for her, Mario grabbed the hood of the hoodie she was wearing.

Peach said, breathing a sigh of relief, "Oh thank goodness."

Toadsworth stated, "I happen to agree."

Mario pulled the couple onto the blimp as they both breathed a sigh of relief. Luigi chuckled as Violet hugged him tightly. It was a sweet sight. Once they got on their way, everyone started to chat as Mario briefly told them that he once been to Pi'illo Island during the mansion incident. Back then, the resort was still being built.

Luigi commented, "Well, this is going to be a great vacation!"

Peach turned to Violet and added, "And I love the outfit that you chose for this vacation, Violet."

Violet smiled as she replied, "Thanks, Peach!"

Toadsworth responded, "Let's not talk all day. Let us figure this out."

Mario whispered to his three friends, "Sore head."

The red clad plumber's friends all giggled or laughed quietly so Toadsworth wouldn't catch them. Suddenly, the box dog turned around and a screen opened up. On the screen was a professor of some sort.

The professor exclaimed, "Mm-yes, hello. Nice meeting you. I am the proprietor of Pi'illo Island! I am Dr. Snoozemore anzzzz..."

That's when everyone saw that Dr. Snoozemore fell asleep and sweat dropped.

Toadsworth asked, "Is he asleep?"

Peach answered, "Looks like it."

Violet stated, "This guy is rather interesting sort..."

Mario replied, "You are right about that."

Luigi questioned, "Uh, Dr. Snoozemore?"

Dr. Snoozemore woke up and answered, "Oops. Please excuse me. As you may have guessed, I am researching the science of sleep. Mm-yes, and on Pi'illo Island... There's a special power that makes you sleep soundzzz..."

Just like that, Dr. Snoozemore fell asleep again.

Toadsworth scoffed, "A special sleep power? What poppycock!"

Violet stated, "I don't know, it is possible. They were doing this kind of research in Chicago before I got sent here."

Luigi replied, "Maybe this idea is more advanced."

Peach responded, "Either way, I'm excited."

Mario replied, "Aw, me too. I get to spend time with you and Luigi gets to spend time with Violet."

Both girls blushed as Toadswroth demanded for Dr. Snoozemore to wake up. Snoozemore did wake up and told them to relax and enjoy the ride. He even mentioned another passenger. With that, the screen turned off and before anyone could say anything, a purple pillow appeared in front of them. A purple smoke appeared as a purple shadow hand came out of it. The shadow hand knocked some Toads overboard as another shadow hand appeared, the left one. Luigi was freaking out as Mario stood at the ready while Violet protected Peach. The left shadow hand knocked off more Toads, the box dog, and Luigi. Violet gasped as she went over to help her boyfriend.

Toadsworth quickly protected Peach as the shadow turned into a mock like version of Dracula. Mario stood ready for battle, only wishing that he had his two teammates in Luigi and Violet. Mario went to battle and after - whatever it was - defeated, Violet pulled Luigi back up into the blimp.

Peach questioned, "What WAS that thing?"

Mario answered, as he went over to her, "No idea."

Luigi stated, "That was super weird."

Violet asked, "Did that thing come from a pillow?"

Toadsworth replied, "It certainly seemed like it..."

Suddenly, they noticed that the shadow had bumped into one of the blimp's cords and into the blimp itself. The blimp was starting to fall out of the sky. As everyone screamed in utter terror, Mario grabbed Peach as Luigi grabbed Violet, bracing for impact. They were all unaware of the rainbow light surrounding them all...
