Authors note: this story begins during the Mushroom war. Just a hell of a lot of twists))

Simone's POV:

I don't want to put on this damn crown but I'm afraid it's the only way I can save Marshall... I care about him so much but it just kills me to see him upset. My thoughts are interrupted by Marshall tugging on my shirt, I force a small smile and set him down carefully.

"Simoné! Look there's a tv!" He smiled brightly running over and grabbing an old broken remote nearby.

"You are great at finding things." I smile sweetly walking behind the tv and humming the beginning of a song.

"What..?" Marshall sounded slightly confused by I continued to hum and began to sing.

"Making your way in the world today

Takes everything you've got.

Taking a break from all your worries

Sure would help a lot.

Sometimes you wanna go

Where everybody knows your name! Filmed in front of a live studio audience." I then get on my knees so Marshall is able to see my face, he quickly clicks a button laughing "MUTE!" I start to mouth random things until I hear him cough, I instantly stop and run to his side feeling his forehead.

"You're sick.." I mutter this softly realizing I shouldn't panic "I mean, don't worry you'll be great we just need some soup!" I pick him up quickly and make my way to our small camp setup, I set a fire and put him in a large sleeping bag tucking him in. "Get some rest alright?"

He nods sweetly "Alright... Please don't put on the crown.." I let out a soft sigh forcing a nod, it's the only way to save him but it makes him so unhappy. "Promise me Simoné!"

"I promise Marshall.." And with that he fell fast asleep, I know he hates the crown but I have to keep him safe. Until his mom returns, I promised her Id take care of him even though I know I will loose him...

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I took him to a more safe place, and his mother never came back. Could I make my way out of this hell and save Marshall and myself, find some other survivors and we could live together and rebuild the community... I let out a soft sigh knowing this night would be a long night.

A couple hours pass and I hear some rustling in the bushes, I instantly stand up and grab my crown just in case. I know I promised him but he needs to live. "H-hello...?" I am so worried and scared but I know it'll be okay, I know I can keep my sanity... I have to, it isn't a fucking choice Simoné, do it for Marshall. Before I know it a couple of those weird zombie things pop out of nowhere, I quickly shove on my crown and start to hum, it helps. "Making your way in the world today

Takes everything you've got.

Taking a break from all your worries

Sure would help a lot.

Sometimes you wanna go

Where everybody knows your name..."

The zombies are knocked off and I land on my feet, slowly I feel myself slip away. Tears form in my eyes but freeze never falling out...

Marshall's POV:

I wake up slowly rubbing my eyes "Simoné...?" Im really tired and feel sick, I want to stay strong for Simoné though. I told her id be strong. I notice the crown and my heart feels like it dropped into my stomach. She smirks and turns toward me cackling, I don't like this at all. "No! Simoné I know you're in there... Y-you promised!!"

"I never promised anything Gunther!" Why is she calling me that...? I start to cry but she picks me up quickly and I struggle trying hard to get away.

"Dad something's over here!" A strange voice fills the air and I hear a couple more zombie things and a scream making me wince, I shut my eyes tight. Please let this be a bad dream.
