A few days later, you were invited to a "Coming Back Party". "I wonder how many of these they've had..." You ponder while walking to Peach's castle the next day. "Probably like a hundred... Heh." You joke. As the Castle comes into view, you contain your laughter and walk up the trail; Only, it wasn't a trail, it was a red carpet with balloons lining the sides.

You get to the door and realize all the lights are off in the castle. "Weird..." You say to yourself. You read the neatly written note that says "Just open the door and come in!". You look up at the huge doors that were at least three times your size skeptically. "How could I pull open these huge doors?" You second-guess yourself. "Well, it's worth a try..." You encourage. "Wait, aren't the Mario Brothers supposed to come with me?" You ask yourself.

You wait for the Mario Brothers, knowing this. After a moment or two, Luigi comes down the carpet as well. "Hey Luigi!" You greet. "Hey (Y/N)!" He greets back. "W-Where's Mario?" You question. "Oh, he's a bit late-" "I-I'm coming!!" Mario shouts, dashing from behind, slipping on the slippery red carpet. You and Luigi try to contain your laughter as he gets up. "Yeah, yeah, just open the doors already!" He raises his voice. You look at the ginormous doors again and take a deep breath while planting your hands on each of the doorknobs.

You yank on the surprisingly light doors and they fly open. A wave of Toads rush out and mob you, raising you three above their heads. "W-Woah!!" You exclaim. "For Toads, these little guys a pretty strong..." You think. You look over at the Mario Brothers, who look completely surprised. "This must be new for them..." You assume. The Toad wave deposits you in front of Peach and Toadsworth, who put party hats on the three of your heads. Then, Peach stars handing newly cut pieces of the gigantic cake she made. "There's probably enough for everyone on this planet!" You exclaim.

"Heh heh!" Toadsworth chuckles. "Well, I made an extra special cake for your arrival! I hope you like it!" Peach giggles. "Are you kidding me? I love it!" You compliment. "So do I!" Luigi agrees. "Me foo!" Mario says with his mouth full, spitting cake crumbs on the floor. You four laugh at him and make him smile in embarrassment.

Suddenly, panic spreads through the crowd like a wave. You and Luigi push through the crowd while Mario chokes from the shock of the screaming. As soon as you two get to the scene, you both gasp in horror.

Three Toads were passed out on the floor!

"W-What happened?" You demand. "ThEy w-were eatIng th-thEir c-c-cake, and then they stArted g-getting really c-c-crazY, and then p-p-p-passed oUt!!!" One toad explains with a voice so wobbly, stuttery and creaky that you could barely understand them in their panic. "oh, they probably just had a sugar high!" You conclude. The commotion dies down instantly hearing this.

"R-Really" "Is he serious?" "So they're ok?" You hear murmurs throughout the crowd. "Yeah! They'll probably wake up soon!" Luigi assures.

"Oh, thank goodness!" "They're all right!" "I thought something bad happened!" "They had me scared for a second!" "Phew, close call!" You hear sighs and murmurs of relief.

The fainted Toads were taken to the infirmary, and soon the party was back in full swing. Even Mario was having a good time, shoving pieces of cake in your and Luigi's face while you two did the same. Pretty soon, the party was over and it was the evening, the cue for everybody to go home.

While you were walking in the forest, you see a Goomba and a Koopa. You duck behind a bush and listen to their conversation.

"You spike the cake with that sleeping powder?" The Koopa asked. "Yeah." The Goomba answered. "And you didn't spike the new human's piece?" The Koopa asks. "No." The Goomba answers. "Good, although I don't know what Bowser wants with him..." The Koopa wonders mostly to himself. "King Bowser said that he could be useful..." The Goomba explains. "And if he isn't, he'll get thrown in the dungeon!" It finishes. "Yeah... Anyways, let's go, Gary." The Koopa says. "Ok, Kooper." Gary follows Kooper, and soon they're out of sight.
