Chapter 1 Introduction

Princess Peach checked her watch. She was growing extremely impatient. Where were Luigi and Mario? They had to come sometime soon.

This was Bowser's one thousandth kidnapping attempt. That was something that Peach was both impressed by and ashamed to admit. The reason she was impressed was because it showed that the Koopa King was extremely dedicated, and Peach was someone who valued dedication. But at the same time….WHY DID BOWSER HAVE TO BE SO DEDICATED TO SUCH A BAD CAUSE!?

Peach did not get it. She wanted to get it, she wanted to understand the Koopa King. There was some sense of mystery to him that intrigued her. But...gah, it was just so humiliating being kidnapped every week. What made it worse was the fact that he always kidnapped her on Sunday; her day off.

Peach snorted back a laugh as she thought about this. She could remember her conversation with the toad friends when she told them that she gave herself a hookie day every week.

"Princesses get days off?" asked Blue Toad.

"Of course!" Peach replied.

The toads had then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Hey, what's so funny?"

Yellow Toad dried tears from his eyes.

"Uh, no offense Peach," he said, "but you don't exactly strike me as the type of person who would need a day off."

"HEY!" Peach said. "For your information, I happen to lead a very busy life. I...bake cakes and….join in on Mario Kart races."

"Yeah," said Yellow Toad. "And how much time to you dedicate to politics?'

"A lot!" said Peach. "As a matter of fact, last week I rehearsed a political speech that I want to give to Bowser later!"

Blue and Yellow Toad snorted back giggles.

"Okay," said Blue Toad.

"Are you going to give it at the next Mario Kart race?" asked Yellow Toad.

It was at that point that Peach realized that the conversation was not heading anywhere positive. She left the room and went outside to clear her mind.

Anyway, as Peach sat in her room, she started tapping her foot. She figured that she needed a change in scenery, so she looked out the window. That did not do much to help though. The flat colors and the smell of brimstone that decorated the Koopa Kingdom landscape made the place hideous to look at. She sighed and sat down on the bed that Bowser had provided for her. It was then that she noticed a notebook underneath the corner cabinet.

Peach got up and took a look at the notebook. It was decorated with pink sequins. She started skimming through the pages and found that they were completely blank.

This probably belongs to Wendy O. Koopa, Peach thought to herself. She turned to the last page and a pencil fell out. It was then that she got an idea.

Maybe I can write some short stories to pass the time.

With that, Peach got down on the bed and began to write stories around the people she had encountered in her life.

Author's Note: Hey, StarlitDuck here. I apologize if this first chapter is bad. I'll admit that I'm not as confident about it as some of my other work, but I figured I needed a framing device for this story. Anyway, if there are any characters that you want me to dedicate a chapter to, feel free to leave it in a review or Private Message me if you want. While I'm not as confident about the first chapter, I will admit that I am excited for this project.
