-Previously-
You sat in the seat next to Luigi.
"Let's begin!" Mario exclaimed.
-Now-
(No POV)
You got an uneasy feeling as you sat in the seat. What did they want to talk about? Why were they anticipating your arrival? These questions swam around your mind as you looked at your gloved hands and fumbled with the white fabric at the end of your wrist. Mario cleared his throat, which got your attention.
"Now that (Y/N)'s here, we can tell her." He said, nudging Peach. You have him a confused look.
"Tell me what?" You asked, now wanting an answer. Peach looked at Mario worriedly.
"Do you think now's a good time?" She asked him, uneasiness laced in her words. You stood up, a little irritated.
"Tell me what?!" You exclaimed, which caused the trio to look at you in surprise. You sighed, and sat back down. "Please, just tell me." Peach and Mario sat back down. Peach started to speak.
"(Y/N), it's just-" She was cut off by Mario.
"We're certain Bowser's targeting you next." He said bluntly. Peach's eyes widened and she turned to look at him.
"Way to put it simply!" She said, turning to face you again. "The thing is, after your rise of popularity with your performances, Bowser has surely noticed that you might be an easy target to get to us. So, instead of me, he might take you. So, I want more guards around you, and here at all times." She said softly. Shock spread across your face. She then reached to grab your gloved hands in hers. You let her, but spoke.
"But Peach, you know I can defend myself-" You were cut off by her.
"Yes, I know. But that was a long time ago, (Y/N). You're different now.." She trailed off, sadness and longing in her voice. You sighed, and closed your eyes.
"Does this mean I can't go to practices for the time being?" She closed her eyes, and looked at you, her sky blue eyes meeting your (E/C) ones.
"Maybe so, but if Mario or Luigi will be with you, then I guess I can make an exception." She flashed a smile at you, and you smiled. Practically running to her side, you hug her tightly.
"Thank you! And don't worry, I'll be fine if I have them!" You smiled at them, to which they smiled back, and Luigi's face flushed slightly, but smiled back awkwardly. You turned to Peach. "Is there anything else?" She thought for a moment, but shook her head.
"No, (Y/N). You can go and get ready for practice." You nodded, and walked back through the door, leaving with Hunter. Hunter had been outside the room, but you filled him in on what had happened.
"Oh my stars. (Y/N), why aren't you worried?" He asked, wondering why you weren't worried because you were surprisingly calm.
"Because I'll have Mario or Luigi to protect me. And you know I can defend myself, if it comes to that." You said, remembering something and feeling solemn. Hunter saw your sudden change in mood.
"Hey, come on. You're Princess (Y/N) Toadstool! You were amazing at that back then, and you still are!" He exclaimed, smiling brightly. You laughed slightly, and continued to walk.
"Yeah. Now I have practice soon. I can't wait, the performance is tomorrow!" You said, a mixture of excitement and nervousness in your voice.
"Wow, THE (Y/N) is still nervous for a performance?!" He asked sarcastically. You loved the humour of sarcasm, it always made you smile.
"I know, it's surprising. But for this one, it's different. I have to be very careful how I move, but you're gonna be there to see me perform, right?" You asked, though it was more a rhetorical question. He never missed a performance, he loved your acting and dancing.
"Yeah, duh! Toadsworth will be coming, too!" He answered excitedly. You smiled, and rushed up the stairs, holding on to the bottom of your dress and crown. You and him always saw how fast you could get to your door. You and him both did that ever since you were fourteen, he was fourteen, too. He started working at the castle to help his parents' money issues, and Peach had saw how attached you guys were, and let him stay for good and be your personal guard. You never stopped thanking her for that. It gave you someone else to talk and hang out with. Even though you and Peach were the same age. You and him ended by your room at the same time. Panting slightly, you spoke.
"*Huff* I won.." He looked at you after you said that, and his face burned a deep crimson. You gave him a confused look. He then spoke.
"U-uh (Y/N), your d-dress.." He looked away quickly, his face burning a bit more. You then looked down, and your face burned too.
The top of your dress had fallen slightly, revealing your (F/C) bra which fit your (Small/Medium/Large) breasts tightly. Laughing slightly, you pull the dress back up over your boobs, laughing a bit more.
"Haha, that happens a lot! Not to worry!" He looked back and you two laughed. After the laughter died down, you hugged him.
"I'll see you in a bit, got to get ready!" You said, walking into your room and happily shutting the door.
"See you later, (Y/N) love.." He said quietly to himself, leaning against the door lightly.
