Not such a bad guy

A life saved

Mario and Bowser were currently walking down the path to the mushroom Kingdom. They were currently deep in the forest near the poison lake things seemed kinda of bleak and tension was deep in the air between the two because who else could say they were taking a walk with their worst enemy and actually enjoy each others company.So they started a conversation.

Mario & Bowser: Hey

They both gave each other the biggest confusion look they've ever given

Mario: (snickers)

Bowser: Hahahahaha

Mario wasn't going to admit it but he kinda liked Bowser's laugh

Bowser: well plumber what were you gonna say

Mario: well I was gonna ask do you think you'll be in the next kart or sports tournament

Bowser: hmm well I think I might I didn't join the last because of um... Well you know

Mario: yea I didn't see you at all I was hoping we could have had a match together

Bowser: oh yeah well then I guess when the next tournament starts I'll knock you out first

Mario:only in your dreams koopa

Bowser: as long as I get a bigger kart in a tournament than last time I was there I swear that thing felt like a bear trap

Mario: well it didn't bother me

Bowser: because there's a huge size difference between us

Mario:I can't help it that I'm smaller than you

Bowser: oh so your calling me fat now

Mario:t-that's not what I meant

Bowser: yea sure and here I thought you were going to make me feel better maybe I should just go back to my castle

Mario: you're not fat ok you're a very muscular person

Mario slapped his hands over his mouth and Bowser was dumbfounded he never actually expected Mario to actually say that

Bowser:um well thanks

Mario: (blushes)u-u-umm y-you're welcome

Bowser: (thoughts)now he's stuttering he never did that unless he was with the princess, is he ok

Mario : (thoughts)now I'm stuttering what's wrong with me

Bowser: um Mario

Mario looked up at Bowser

Bowser: are you ok

Mario: yea yea I'm good

Bowser: um you sure we could um take a break if you like

Mario: (thoughts)does he actually care about my well being or is he just messing with me

Mario: uhh no we can just..keep going

Bowser: Wait stop!!!

Mario: wha-

But it was too late Mario already stepped to far and started to fall towards the poison waters below

Mario: (thoughts)oh no I guess I wasn't as careful as I thought....is this really it for me and the worst part is I'll never get to see my loved ones again

So Mario closed his eyes and waited to hit the water but he felt a large hand on his wrist instead holding him and he opened his eyes and saw Bowser holding onto him with an new expression on his face that he had never seen before and it looked like pure concern
