I Do Redux

Hello everyone! I'm back with another new story (I'll probably regret starting another one while currently working on two LOL). So, I finished the last version of this story back in 2022. At least with the first 3 chapters, I'm not too happy with it. So, I'm remaking the story. Some chapters will be pretty similar to the old version while others will be different. I'm also thinking about adding one or more pairings. Not sure yet. This is the third time I'm remaking it and hopefully it'll be the last lol. Now, I'm writing this first chapter the day before Valentine's Day, so since I'm posting it on Valentine's Day, Happy Valentine's Day everyone! And I hope you enjoy this version of "I Do"!

"Thank you for saving me, Mario!" Peach smiled as Mario opened the door to the cage she was trapped inside. She leaned in and gave Mario a kiss on the nose, making the plumber's face turn as red as his cap.

"It's no problem, Princess! I'm just happy that you're safe." Mario said. He glanced down at Bowser, who was lying on the floor, knocked out. Mario sighed, wishing that the Koopa King would just give up already.

Mario smiled and took her hand. "Let's head home."

"Yes!" Peach replied as they left Bowser's Castle.

Once they made it back to the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach offered to bake a cake for Mario. Mario told Peach that she didn't have to, but she insisted. Mario waited patiently at the table as Peach put the cake in the oven to bake. He couldn't wait to taste it! He loved Peach's baking. Mario sighed happily as he watched the princess wash her hands.

Mario and Peach have been together for a few years now. They loved each other a lot and enjoyed spending time together. For some time now, Mario has been thinking about their relationship a lot more. He loves Peach so much and wanted to be with her forever. Mario did try to propose to Peach while he, Peach, and Bowser were on the moon, but the princess rejected them both. Since time has passed, he wanted to try again and ask Peach to marry him, this time buying her a beautiful ring.

Mario went to every jewelry store in Toad Town to find the perfect ring for Peach, but he couldn't find one that she'd love. He went to the Beanbean Kingdom, Coconut Mall in Isle Delfino, and even Jewelry Land to find a ring, but unfortunately, Mario couldn't find the right ring. Sighing, he made his way back to his home where his younger brother Luigi was finishing up their lunch.

"Hey bro! Did you have any luck?" Luigi asked as he sat two bowels of Mushroom Soup on the table. He smile slightly fell as he saw the disappointed look on his older brother's face.

Mario sighed as he took his seat at the table. He took a bite of his soup and a small smile appeared on his face.

"I just want to find the perfect ring for Peach. Not even Jewelry Land had the right one! I even asked King Fret and Prince Pine for help!" Mario exclaimed.

The two brothers ate in silence for a few minutes. Then, Luigi thought of something.

"Have you tried the Crystal Kingdom?" He asked, making Mario gasp.

"The Crystal Kingdom! Why didn't I think of that sooner? That place has beautiful gems!" Mario replied.

"Yeah! I bet Princess Krystal can help you find one!" Luigi grinned.

"You're right, Weege! That's what I'll do! Tomorrow, I'm gonna go to the Crystal Kingdom!" Mario cheered and took another bite of his soup.

"Hello Mario! It's so wonderful to see you!" Princess Krystal, ruler of the Crystal Kingdom, greeted the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom.

"Hiya Princess! I'm glad to see you and the kingdom are doing well. I was wondering if you could help me with something." Mario replied.

Krystal got off of her throne and walked closer to Mario, moving a piece of her long white hair out of her face. "Oh really? What's is it?"

"Well," Mario looked around, making sure no one else was around to listen, "I want to find a ring for Peach."

"Oh wow! I'll definitely help you! We can go to my favorite store here!" Krystal smiled, took Mario's hand, and they made their way out of her castle.

Mario smiled as he looked around the Crystal Kingdom. This place was still very beautiful to him! As they greeted a few Toads and people, Krystal and Mario arrived at one of the malls in the kingdom.

"There's a really nice jewelry store in here. I'm sure you'll find the perfect ring here." Krystal said.

The two walked inside of the mall until they arrived at the jewelry store. Mario was amazed at the many necklaces, rings, earrings, and brooches. The manager greeted the princess and was happy to see Super Mario in the store. After learning why Mario was there, the manager eagerly showed them the many engagement rings across the room. Mario looked around at all of the rings.

"Oooh! This one is very pretty!" Krystal said, pointing to a ring with a red crystal.

"Wow it is! But, I think I'll keep looking." Mario replied. Krystal nodded and looked around with him.

After a few minutes of searching, Mario was starting to lose hope. Until, his eyes landed on a ring with a pink crystal.

"Wow! This one is beautiful!" Mario exclaimed. Krystal looked at the ring Mario was pointing to and smiled.

"Oh! That's a Rose Quartz! It's best known for being the stone of unconditional love." Krystal explained.

"Whoa! That's amazing!" Mario said. After looking at the ring again, Mario smiled.

"This is the one!" He exclaimed.

The manager got the ring and handed it to the clerk. Mario reached into his pocket to grab his coins, but Krystal stopped him.

"Don't worry, Mario. I'll pay for it." She smiled sweetly.

"I can't have you do that, Princess!" Mario replied.

"It's no problem! I'm happy to help!" Krystal said and gave the coins to the clerk. The two then left the mall.

"Thanks so much for your help, Krystal. And for buying the ring!" Mario said.

"You're welcome, Mario! Like I said, I was happy to help!" She replied. Mario then said goodbye to the crystal princess and made his way back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

A few weeks later, Mario and his friends were invited to Peach's Castle for a party that Peach was throwing. Mario was excited, but also nervous. Tonight, he was going to ask the princess to marry him. He was hoping that Peach would accept, but thought back to that moment on the moon. Mario took a deep breath, doing his best to calm down.

"I can do this! Everything's gonna be alright!" Mario said to himself.

A few hours later, the party started and more people were arriving at the castle. Everyone was having a great time. Some were dancing, others were eating and talking to the other guests. Luigi and Daisy were talking to Mario and Peach for a bit until Daisy dragged Luigi to the dancefloor. Peach smiled as she looked around at everyone.

"I'm so glad that everyone's having a great time!" Peach said.

"Yeah! This is a fun party!" Mario replied.

Then, Mario turned to Peach, looking a little nervous.

"Peach? Can we go somewhere alone to talk?" He asked.

"Of course, Mario." Peach replied.

Peach took Mario away from the party and into a private room. Making sure no one was around, she quietly shut the door.

"What did you want to talk about?" Peach asked.

"Well, I actually have something to give you." Mario said.

Peach softly gasped as she watched Mario get down on one knee and pull out a small black box. He opened it, revealing the ring with the rose quartz crystal.

"I guess the last time I tried to ask this wasn't the best time hehe. But I hope it is now. So, um, Princess Peach Toadstool...Will you marry me?" Mario asked, their faces turning pink.

"Oh Mario...Yes! Yes, I will marry you!" Peach cheered. Mario smiled as he put the ring on Peach's finger. Once he stood up, Peach pulled him into a hug and kissed him.

"I love you so much, Peach." Mario said, still blushing.

"I love you too, Mario." Peach replied and gave him another kiss. She took his hand and they went back to the party, excited to tell everyone the good news.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I'll work on the next one soon!

Hey guys! I'm back with chapter 2! I actually still have a cold right now and I didn't feel like writing today. But I got some energy at the moment. Originally I was going to work on the next chapter for "Serene Isles", but I'll work on that hopefully tomorrow. Well, I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

"How do I look, Weege?" Mario asked as he stepped out of the changing room. Luigi stared at his older brother, who was wearing a black tuxedo, black dress shoes, and a red bowtie.

"Looks great, bro! But, maybe it'd be a little better in white?" Luigi suggested. Mario looked at his reflection in the mirror and thought about it.

"You're right, Luigi! I'll try on that white tux next!" Mario said, pointing to the white tuxedo in Luigi's arms.

Luigi smiled as he handed the tux to Mario. "I can't believe you and Peach are getting married!"

"Me neither! It's exciting!" Mario exclaimed. Luigi waited patiently as Mario went back into the changing. A few minutes later, Mario walked out, now wearing the white tuxedo. Luigi grinned and gave Mario a thumbs up.

"Much better!" Luigi said.

"Thanks! By the way, since we're on the topic, when are you going to ask Daisy to marry you?" Mario asked, making Luigi blush.

"D-Daisy? I uh...I have thought about it before." Luigi stuttered.

"I know! I'll help you find a ring! Then when you're ready, you can propose to Daisy." Mario replied.

"You will?"

"Of course, bro!" Mario smiled.

"Thanks Mario! But, what day will we look for a ring?" Luigi wondered.

"Hmm." Mario thought for a moment, "I know! Everyone will be at Isle Delfino for our next race. How about we head to Coconut Mall and look around before the race starts?"

"That's a great idea, Mario! Oh man, I can't wait!" Luigi cheered.

Everyone arrived at Isle Delfino for their next race a few weeks later. The race started in an hour, so the racers were free to relax and prepare. Mario whispered to Luigi and the two started walking away from their friends, but were stopped by Daisy.

"Where are you guys going?" She asked.

"Oh, um, M-Mario and I were gonna head to Noki Bay for a bit. Hehe." Luigi replied nervously.

"Well, don't be too long! The race will start in an hour!" Peach said.

"Don't worry, Peach. We'll be back in time!" Mario smiled. The two brothers waved and left Delfino Plaza.

"Whoa! There's a lot of jewelry here!" Luigi exclaimed as they entered the jewelry store in Coconut Mall.

"Just take your time, Weeg." Mario smiled. Luigi nodded and walked over to the cases showing off many different engagement rings.

Mario and Luigi looked at the rings, hoping to find the right one. Mario pointed to a few diamond rings, but Luigi shook his head, wanting to find a better ring for Daisy. After looking around for a few more minutes, Luigi gasped softly. Next to another diamond ring, Luigi saw a viridian colored ring in the shape of a Daisy. Luigi grinned as he stared at the engagement ring and pointed at it, showing Mario.

"This is it! That's the right ring for Daisy!"

After paying for the ring, Luigi hid the small box in his pocket and the two brothers left the mall.

"So, when do you plan on proposing?" Mario asked.

"Well, Daisy's birthday is coming up soon, so I thought that'd be the perfect time to ask her." Luigi replied.

"Great! I know she'll say yes!" Mario smiled at his brother.

Luigi took a deep breath as he arrived in Sarasaland. It was Daisy's birthday and Luigi was planning on taking her out to dinner that evening. He kept feeling his pocket, making sure that the ring was still in there. Luigi took another deep breath as he got closer to Daisy's castle.

"Everything's gonna be fine, Luigi." He whispered to himself.

As he got closer to the castle, he saw Daisy already outside waiting for him, wearing a brand new yellow dress.

"Hey sweetie! Wow, you look amazing in that tux!" Daisy greeted.

"T-Thanks. Happy birthday by the way. You look beautiful." Luigi replied.

"Thanks! My dad bought me this as a birthday gift." Daisy said, slightly blushing.

Luigi held out his hand. "Well then, shall we get going?"

"Yeah!" Daisy took his hand and the two made their way to the restaurant.

Luigi and Daisy were having a great time at dinner. They had amazing food and had some wine to drink. The two also joked and talked about their day, Daisy happily talking about the birthday gifts she received. Daisy then playfully smirked at the taller Mario brother.

"So Luigi, is this romantic dinner my gift? I have a feeling that you're hiding something else." Daisy giggled.

"O-Oh! Um, this dinner is one gift. I have another, but I'll give it to you when we leave." Luigi replied.

"Really now? Well, I can't wait to see what it is!" Daisy said.

"Hehe yeah. I-I'm sure you'll love it." Luigi stuttered.

Daisy's smile fell. "Are you alright, Luigi? You seem a little nervous."

"I-I'm alright! Don't worry! I'm just excited to give you your present." Luigi replied.

"Hmm. Well, alright then." Daisy said and took another sip of her wine.

Soon the couple finished their dinner and left the restaurant. Daisy smiled as they were making their way back to her castle.

"Thanks for taking me out tonight, Luigi."

"No problem, Daisy!" Luigi smiled back at her. As they were getting close to the castle, Luigi then remembered the ring. He took a deep breath before speaking.

"So, um, are you ready for your second gift?" He asked.

"Yes yes! What did you get me?" Daisy excitedly asked.

The princess of Sarasaland gasped as she watched Luigi get down on one knee. He pulled out the small box and slowly opened it, revealing the Daisy shaped ring to her.

"Luigi..." Daisy whispered.

"I've thought about asking this before, but I wasn't ready then. But now I am. So, Princess Daisy...Will you marry me?" Luigi asked, his face turning red. Daisy smiled brightly and nodded.

"Yes! I will!" Daisy cheered.

Luigi smiled and put the ring on her finger. Daisy looked down at the beautiful ring and began to tear up.

"I love you so much, Weege! This is the best birthday ever!" Daisy grinned.

"I love you too, Daisy. I can't wait for us to get married!" Luigi replied.

"First Mario and Peach are planning their wedding. Now, you and I are engaged!" Daisy said.

"Yeah! We're gonna be even happier together." Luigi replied.

Daisy held his hand as the two made it to her castle. Daisy thanked Luigi again, gave him a kiss, and the two said goodbye as Luigi made his way back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

I hope you all liked this one! I'll work on the next chapter soon!

Hey everyone! I'm finally back with a new chapter! I've mostly been working on "Ludwig's Empire" and "Serene Isles", but I'm still gonna work on this :) My mom was also on vacation last week, so I wasn't able to write for a bit. But now I can write again :D I hope this chapter is better than the original!

"Bowser?" A voice said. The young Koopa didn't stay anything.

"...Bowser?" The person repeated. Silence. Growling, they began to yell.

"Bowsie!" The Koopa prince snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the Koopa in front of him.

"Huh? What? Did ya say something, sis?" Bowser asked. Clawdeen, Bowser's younger sister, sighed as she sat next to him and adjusted her glasses.

"Bowser, is something wrong? You've been acting pretty weird these past three weeks." Clawdeen replied.

Bowser rubbed the back of his head. "Well, there is something on my mind."

"Really? What is it?" Clawdeen asked.

Bowser sighed and stared at a book sitting on the table in front of them.

"Well, three weeks ago, I was hanging out with Clawdia." Bowser started.

"Yeah?" Clawdeen asked, wanting him to continue.

"We were talking and, well she told me...she told me that she's pregnant." Bowser finally said. Clawdeen gasped and stared at her older brother.

"You...you two are having a baby?" She whispered. As Bowser nodded, Clawdeen squealed.

"Oh my gosh! I'm gonna be an auntie!" She cheered.

"Clawdeen! We're too young to be parents! We're still teens! Late teens, but still teens!" Bowser exclaimed.

"You're right, Bowsie. But, you guys will be ok. Everyone will help you guys out. Plus, we're royalty! We have enough coins to financially take care of the baby." Clawdeen said.

"Heh yeah. I just can't believe it! I mean, Clawdia and I? Parents? I do want kids, but I never thought it'd be so soon."

"This is so amazing! I honestly thought you two would get married and become king and queen first, but this is still exciting!"

Bowser stared at the book again and began to get lost in his thoughts.

"Married. Me and Clawdia, married..." Bowser smiled more and more at the thought of marrying his girlfriend.

Bowser grabbed his sister's shoulders and looked at her with the biggest grin she's ever seen.

"Sis, you're a genius!" Bowser exclaimed.

"Huh? What do you mean?" She asked.

"Clawdia and I should get married!" Bowser replied.

"Well, do you think you're ready for it? I mean, marriage is very serious, Bowsie." Clawdeen explained.

"I know I'm ready! I'm gonna get Kamek and Kammy to find a ring for her and I'll ask Clawdia." Bowser said, still grinning.

Clawdeen gave him a small smile. "Well, good luck, Bowsie."

"Wow! It's so pretty!" Clawdeen said as she stared at the diamond ring inside of a small box Bowser held in his hand.

"Yeah. You think Clawdia will like it?" Bowser asked.

"Of course! She's gonna love it! So when do you plan on asking her?" Clawdeen replied.

"Huh. I, uh, I never thought about that." Bowser sighed and began to think.

"You're still throwing that party next Saturday, right?" He asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Clawdeen replied.

"I think I'll ask her then." Bowser smirked.

The night of the party finally arrived and the royal siblings were greeting the guests who were arriving. Clawdeen grinned when she saw her boyfriend, Langston, enter the ballroom.

"Langston! You made it!" Clawdeen said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hahaha! Of course I'd be here, sweetie." Langston replied. Clawdeen giggled and played with his green locs.

Bowser walked over to Clawdia, who now had her pink hair in a long braid.

"You look great." He said.

"Thanks! So do you." Clawdia replied.

"So, how are you feeling?" Bowser asked.

"Still got morning sickness, but I'm alright." Clawdia smiled.

"Come on, guys! Let's dance!" Clawdeen called out to them.

Bowser took Clawdia's hand and walked over to the others.

Everyone was having a great time at the party. Some were still dancing, while others were talking with their friends or eating. Clawdeen and Langston were sitting with Bowser and Clawdia, but decided to dance again. Clawdia chuckled as she watched the two dancing and laughing together.

"They're so sweet together!" She smiled as she watched them.

"Heh yeah. I'm glad Langston treats my sister right." Bowser replied.

"You know, I can see those two getting married someday." Clawdia smiled.

Hearing that made Bowser remember the ring. He cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Hey Clawdia. Can I talk to you alone for a sec?" Bowser asked.

"Oh sure thing." The couple got up and walked out of the ballroom and into the hall.

"What did you want to talk about, Bowser?" Clawdia asked.

"Uh...Well."

"Come on, Bowser!" You got this!" He thought.

"I bought you something." Bowser said as he reached into his shell.

Clawdia grew more curious as she saw the small box in Bowser's hand. She then gasped as she watched Bowser get down on his knee.

"Oh my gosh..." She whispered.

"Clawdia, I wanna be with you and I want us to raise our kid together. Will you marry me?" Bowser asked.

"Bowser...Yes! Yes I will marry you!" Clawdia cheered. Grinning, Bowser put the ring on Clawdia's finger, stood up, and gave Clawdia a kiss.

"I love you, Bowser." Clawdia said as she hugged him.

"I love you too, Clawdia." Bowser replied, hugging her back.

"Let's go back to the party. I can't wait to see Clawdeen's reaction when I show her the ring." Clawdia giggled.

"Hehe alright." Bowser chuckled and the two walked back inside of the ballroom.

I hope this chapter was alright. I'm not sure when I'll work on the next one, but hopefully it won't be too long!

Hi guys! Here's chapter 4 with a different couple than the last version! I hope you enjoy this one!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"Ow! Ludwig, stop pulling my hair!" Bowser said, trying to get his 1 year old son to let go of his hair. Ludwig giggled as he continued to pull on Bowser's hair.

"Alright, Lulu. Let's stop hurting daddy." Clawdia said as she gently pulled Bowser's hair out of Ludwig's hand. She then took Ludwig from Bowser and gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him smile.

"How the heck is he so strong?" Bowser asked, rubbing his head.

"I guess he gets it from you." Clawdia chuckled.

"He's so adorable! I can't wait for our baby to hatch soon!" Clawdeen, Bowser's little sister, sighed happily as she rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.

"Yeah. I can't believe we're having a kid soon." Langston replied.

"And now Ludwig will have a sibling and a cousin to play with!" Clawdia smiled, looking at their own egg in the incubator.

"They'll be so close. I can't wait!" Clawdeen giggled.

Langston said goodbye and left the castle an hour later. As he walked home, he smiled as he thought about Clawdeen and their child. He was still a little nervous about being a father, but he was also excited to have a kid. While walking, Langston passed by a jewelry store. He stopped and walked back, looking through the glass. He saw some necklaces, watches, and rings.

"Wow!" Langston said. As he looked around, his eyes landed on a diamond ring.

"That's pretty. I bet Clawdeen would love it." Langston blushed after saying that.

"Wait. What if...What if Clawdeen and I got married? I mean, Bowser and Clawdia are married. Plus, I have thought about marrying Clawdeen before." He thought.

Langston sighed and walked away from the jewelry store.

"I should probably think it over more."

Weeks went by and Langston continued to think about proposing. During that time, Bowser's and Clawdia's egg hatched. They had another boy, this one with multi-colored hair. Bowser and Clawdia decided to name him Lemuel, but call him Lemmy. Clawdeen smiled as she held Lemmy in her arms.

"He's so cute! I can't wait for our baby to be here!" Clawdeen said.

"Any day now." Langston replied.

"You two will be amazing parents." Clawdia smiled.

"Yeah, we will." Clawdeen smiled back.

Langston watched as Clawdeen played with Lemmy and rocked him. Seeing her like this made his heart melt.

"Yeah. I wanna marry her."

Two weeks later, Langston was making his way to the castle with a huge grin on his face. His parents helped him buy an engagement ring for Clawdeen, the exact one he saw weeks ago! He couldn't wait to see her reaction! As he made his wait to the entrance, Clawdeen opened the doors.

"Langston! Thank goodness you're here!" Clawdeen exclaimed. She grabbed his hand and ran back inside.

"Clawdeen? What's going on?" He asked.

"The egg is hatching!" She replied.

"Really? Now?" Langston gasped.

The two ran to Clawdeen's room where Bowser and Clawdia were watching the egg. As soon as they walked in, another crack appeared on the egg.

"Wow! I can't believe it's finally happening!" Langston grinned.

As they stared at the egg, a hand popped out, making Clawdeen squeal. Then, a foot. Soon, everyone gasped when they saw a baby boy pop out of the egg. The baby had green hair and a red shell like Langston. After staring at the baby for a second, Clawdeen and Langston cleaned him up and wrapped the baby in a blanket.

"Oh wow! He's adorable!" Clawdeen said, tears forming in her eyes.

"Yeah, he is." Langston replied.

"What's his name?" Bowser asked.

"Austin." Langston and Clawdeen said in unison.

"Aww that's a nice name!" Clawdia replied.

As Clawdeen gave Austin a kiss on the forehead, Langston thought this was the perfect time to ask her.

"Oh! I have something for you, Clawdeen." He said.

"Really? What is it?" She asked.

Clawdeen and the others watched as Langston pulled out a small white box. Clawdeen and Clawdia gasped when he opened the box, showing her the diamond ring inside.

"Clawdeen Koopa, will you-"

"Yes Langston! I will marry you!" Clawdeen exclaimed.

"Sis! You didn't even let him finish!" Bowser laughed.

"It's fine." Langston chuckled. He walked closer to Clawdeen and put the ring on her finger. Clawdeen smiled and kissed him.

"I love you so much! I can't wait to be married." Clawdeen smiled.

"I love you too. And me neither." Langston said. Austin giggled, making the couple smile more.

I hope this chapter was ok. I think I'll work on the next chapter closer to the holidays since that story was set around Christmas time :)

Hi! I haven't written anything in almost two months. I've mostly been working on outlining the new version of "The Crystal Kingdom" and editing the chapters of my finished stories. I kinda missed writing :) So, my plan was to post this either closer to New Years Eve or on New Years Eve, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time to. So I'm posting it now! Let's hope this version is better than the last one :D

Also, like I said last time, yes, this is a Luigi x Rosalina story. Yes, I ship it. But, I also love and prefer Luigi x Daisy.

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Five years have passed since Luigi and Rosalina started dating. The two got together sometime after Luigi gave Rosalina her new necklace on Christmas. Ever since then, they have been really happy together. Luigi and Rosalina loved each other very much and enjoyed spending time together. Their friends were also very happy and supportive when they got together. Daisy was extremely happy for them, giving them both a big, tight hug when they told everyone.

Lately, Luigi has been thinking about his relationship a lot more. One day while walking around Toad Town, he decided to buy Rosalina a gift. He already bought her a Christmas gift, but he knew that this gift would be more special.

Luigi returned to his house to find Mario relaxing on the couch. He sighed and sat next to his brother.

"Hey bro!" Mario greeted. He noticed the bag in his brother's hand. "What's in there?"

Luigi, trying not to blush, pulled out the small box and handed it to Mario. Mario opened it and softly gasped, seeing a diamond ring inside.

"I bought this for Rosie. Do you think she'll like it?" Luigi asked.

"Wait... is this—"

"Hehe yeah." Luigi replied, cutting off his brother. Mario looked at Luigi and smiled.

"I think Rosalina will love it." He said. Mario closed the box and handed it back to Luigi. "So when are you gonna ask her?"

Luigi thought for a moment. "Hmm. Maybe I can ask her at our Christmas party."

Christmas has finally arrived and the Mario Bros were finishing setting up their party. All of their friends were going to be there and they were all excited. As Luigi was blowing up balloons, he kept thinking about Rosalina.

"I really hope she'll say yes." He thought.

A few hours have passed and the party finally started. Everyone was having a great time. Some people were dancing while others were either eating, talking, or opening gifts. Luigi and Rosalina were sitting on the couch talking. The two had exchanged gifts a few minutes ago. Rosalina gave Luigi a new hat and he gave her a new sweater.

As the couple talked, Luigi continued to think about the ring.

"I'm really nervous. Oh, I hope Rosie says yes..." Rosalina noticed Luigi was spacing out.

"Are you alright, sweetie?" She asked. Luigi shook his head, snapping out of it.

"Oh, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something." He replied. Luigi took one of Rosalina's hands and stared at her.

"Actually Rosie, I wanted to ask you something." Luigi said.

"Oh? What's that?" Rosalina asked. Luigi took a deep breath.

"Rosalina... will... will you—" Before Luigi could finish, they saw Toadette running up to them.

"Hey guys! Peach wants to play a game. Wanna join us?" She asked.

"Oh sure, Toadette." Rosalina smiled. She turned to Luigi after Toadette ran back to the others.

"What were you saying again, Luigi?" She asked.

"Uh, it can wait. It wasn't that important." Luigi smiled.

Luigi told Mario what happened after the party was over. He decided to ask Rosalina another time. Since Peach was throwing a New Years party at her castle, he chose to ask her there. Luigi sat on his bed with the box in his hand. He opened it and looked at the ring again.

"Alright, Luigi. No matter what happens, you gotta ask her!" Luigi said to himself.

A few days have passed and Peach's New Years party was the next day. Mario and Luigi were helping Peach get some last minute decorations. They were in the ballroom bringing in the decorations so they could decorate tomorrow. Mario and Luigi were carrying a huge box inside the ballroom when Mario spoke.

"So when do you plan on asking her?" Mario asked Luigi.

"I'm definitely going to ask her tomorrow at the party." Luigi replied as he helped Mario sit the box down.

"Good luck, bro!" Mario replied and smiled.

The next day came and the party started. Peach invited their friends and some royals from other kingdoms. Everyone was having a good time. Mario and Luigi were talking to Peach and Daisy when Luigi noticed Rosalina entering the ballroom.

"Oh! Rosalina's here! I'll be back in a bit!" Luigi said to them.

Luigi walked over to his girlfriend and smiled. "Hi Rosalina!"

"Hi Weegee!" Rosalina smiled back and hugged him. The two then heard a new song starting to play.

"Wanna dance?" Luigi asked.

"Sure!" Rosalina replied and followed Luigi to the dancefloor.

"I'm having a really great time!" Rosalina said.

"Haha! Me too!" Luigi replied. He then remembered the ring in his pocket.

"Hey Rosie, let's go talk on the balcony." Luigi said.

"Oh alright." Rosalina replied and followed him.

Once they made it to the balcony, Rosalina looked at Luigi, a little confused.

"Why did you want to come out here, Luigi?" She asked.

"Well, remember on Christmas when I was trying to ask you something?" He replied. Rosalina nodded.

"Well, here goes nothing." Luigi thought. Luigi took Rosalina's hand again.

"I was really nervous the last time and I still kinda am. But, I wanted us to be alone so I could ask you this." Luigi got down on one knee, took out the box, and opened it. Luigi and Rosalina began to blush.

"Rosalina... will you marry me?" Luigi finally asked. Rosalina began to tear up and she smiled at him.

"Luigi... yes! Yes I will marry you!" She said. Luigi, grinning, put the engagement ring on her finger, got up, and wiped her tears away. They heard everyone inside counting down until they heard fireworks going off.

"It's the new year now." Rosalina said.

"Yep! And I know this year will be even better." Luigi replied. Rosalina smiled at him again.

"I love you, Luigi." She said.

"I love you too, Rosalina." Luigi replied and kissed her.

I'm gonna be honest. Part of me was a little afraid to write. Like with my art, I sometimes feel like everyone else is improving faster while I'm stuck in the same spot I've been in since 2010. I might be getting those For Dummies books on writing for either Christmas or my birthday, so hopefully my writing skills will be better :) Anyways, I'll work on the next chapter another time! I hope you all have a great rest of the year and I hope 2025 will be a great year for us all!

Hi everyone! I'm late, but Happy New Year! I'm hoping this year my drawing and writing skills will improve :) I was planning on going through each chapter of "Ludwig's Empire" and check to see if there were any typos I missed, but I'll try to do that tomorrow. I wanted to post this on my birthday (it was Sunday :D) but I decided to rest that day. So, here it is! I hope you all enjoy it! Btw, this chapter is based on my fanfic "A New Baby Redux", which I might rewrite again one day.

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Iggy Koopa and his girlfriend Tiana have been friends since they were 13 years old. They developed feelings for each other and dated for awhile, but broke up and chose to stay friends. When they were 15, they got back together after Tiana was finally able to break up with her new boyfriend, Drake, since he was abusive. As they dated again, one day, Iggy and Tiana learn that Tiana was pregnant, which shocked them and their families. Months later, they had their daughter Tammy.

Now, Iggy and Tiana were 18 years old and Tammy was 3 years old. Tiana decided to move into the castle so she and Iggy could raise their daughter together. One day while Tiana and Tammy were visiting Tiana's parents and siblings, Iggy walked out of the lab, deep in thought. Lately, he's been thinking about Tiana and their relationship. He smiled softly, thinking back to how they met and became friends. As he walked through the halls, he made his way to his room, sat on the bed, and turned on the tv.

As he flipped through the channels, he landed on a romance movie. Iggy raised an eyebrow.

"I think this a movie Tia likes to watch a lot."

Iggy changed the channels again, but couldn't find anything interesting to watch. He sighed and decided to go back to the movie. Iggy began to zone out, not really caring for romance movies. But then, his interest was piqued. The next scene in the movie showed a man proposing to his girlfriend. The woman in the movie cried tears of joy as the man put the ring on her finger.

"Huh..." Iggy watched as the couple in the movie hugged and kissed each other.

As he continued to watch the movie, Iggy thought about Tiana again. Then, he grinned.

"You needed my help with something, Iggy?" Lemmy asked his younger as they walked out of the castle. Once they were farther away, Iggy turned to him.

"Promise to keep it a secret?" He asked. Once Lemmy nodded, Iggy leaned in and whispered, "I'm gonna buy Tiana a ring."

"You're WHA—"

Iggy covered Lemmy's mouth. "Shh! I don't want anyone else to know!"

Lemmy grinned widely. "Ok, ok, but wow! Are you sure you're ready for that?"

Iggy smiled. "Yeah, I am. I've thought about it a few times, and I know I'm ready. So, can you help me?"

"Of course! So what store do you wanna try?" Lemmy asked.

"Hmm...," Iggy thought for a moment. "We could head to Neo Bowser City and try the mall there."

"Great! Then let's go!"

Iggy and Lemmy arrived at Neo Bowser City and hopped out of the warp pipe. They walked around, admiring the place.

"Man, I never get tired of seeing the buildings and lights around here!" Lemmy grinned.

"Me neither. But, let's focus on getting to the mall." Iggy said.

Lemmy chuckled. "Oh, right."

Soon the brothers arrived at the large mall. As they entered the building, they looked around until Lemmy spotted the jewelry store. The two rushed over to it and walked inside. Iggy gasped, seeing the many necklaces, watches, bracelets, and rings inside. The two looked around until they saw a glass case filled with different engagement rings.

"Oh! This one looks nice!" Lemmy said, pointing to a ring with a big emerald.

"Yeah, but I don't think it'd be right for Tia." Iggy replied. Lemmy nodded and the two continued to look around.

Iggy found the rings in this store beautiful, but didn't think they were right for Tiana. Lemmy, standing on his ball, patted Iggy on the shoulder.

"There's another jewelry store on the third floor. We can try that one." Lemmy suggested.

Iggy smiled. "Yeah. Let's head there."

Lemmy and Iggy left the store and made their way to the elevator. They got inside and went to the third floor of the mall. As they got off, they immediately saw the second jewelry store. They walked inside and went to the section with the engagement rings. As they looked, Iggy didn't see one he really liked so far. He was close to giving up and trying a different store, when he gasped softly.

Next to a ring with a ruby, he saw one with a big diamond on it.

"Wow! That one's beautiful!" Iggy exclaimed.

Lemmy leaned over to look. "Yeah! I bet Tia will love it!"

Iggy grinned. "Yep! This is the one!"

Iggy grinned as he made his way back to the castle. Lemmy decided to stay at the mall to buy a new toy for Tammy. Iggy couldn't wait to see Tiana's expression! Once he arrived at the castle, he ran inside, looking for her. When he made it near their room, he almost bumped into Tiana, who was also running. The two stopped before they crashed into each other.

"Iggy! I have something exciting to tell you!" Tiana cheered.

"Really? Well, I have something to give you!" Iggy exclaimed.

"You got me a gift? What is it?" Tiana asked. Grinning, Iggy reached into his shell and pulled out a small black box. Tiana gasped when she saw Iggy get down on one knee and opening the box, revealing a diamond ring inside.

"I-Iggy..." Tiana whispered as she stared at Iggy and the ring.

"Tiana, I've been wanting to ask this question for some time now. Will... Will you marry me?" Iggy finally asked, making the two blush. Tiana began to tear up as she answered his question.

"Yes! Yes Iggy! I will!" Iggy's grin widened as he stood up and put the ring on Tiana's finger. The tears finally fell down Tiana's cheeks as she looked at the ring. Iggy chuckled and helped her wipe them away.

"I love you so much, Tia." Iggy said and kissed her softly.

"I love you too, Iggy." Tiana replied and hugged him.

"Oh! What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Iggy asked.

And that's it for now! Idk when I'll work on the next chapter, but hopefully it won't be too long of a wait :)

Hello everyone! I'm back with a new chapter! I'm taking a break from writing the first draft of "The Crystal Kingdom Redux" to update this story since it's been two weeks since I've last updated it. Now, I couldn't decide which pairing to write about next, but I ended up choosing Rogan x Kira since I wrote about them after Iggy x Tiana in the last version. And like I said, at the time I'm posting this, Manyface-Blake and I don't talk anymore, but since these pairings were on my original list to write about, they're staying in the story. Well, I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I only own Rogan, Tiana, Tammy, and Collin. Kira and Blake belongs to Manyface-Blake. The rest belong to Nintendo.

Rogan Koopa, Tiana's best friend, sat next to his girlfriend Kira as she fed their son Collin his milk. Rogan looked at their son and smiled. Their son looked exactly like he did when he was a baby. Rogan took off his sunglasses and cleaned them. A year ago, he and Kira started dating. Now, they had a baby boy to love and take care of.

Earlier that day, Collin got to meet Tammy, Iggy's and Tiana's daughter since she hatched recently. Everyone thought the two babies were adorable and hoped that they'd become friends or more when they got older. Soon, Collin fell asleep and Rogan and Kira took him to Rogan's room where a crib sat near his bed. Kira smiled, looking down at their sleeping son. She then turned to Rogan, still smiling.

"I think Collin and Tammy had fun today." She whispered.

Rogan nodded. "Yeah. Y'know, it'd be interesting if those two did get together when they get older."

"That'd be so sweet!" Kira giggled. "I can already picture it; Collin and Tammy dating and getting married."

"Married?" Rogan wondered.

"Yeah! You know, I wonder if Iggy and Tiana will get married one day." Kira replied.

Rogan smiled as he ran his fingers through her long, light brown hair. "I bet they will."

Kira yawned, feeling tired. Rogan's parents and little sister were already asleep, so it was time for them to do the same. Rogan took off his leather jacket and got into bed after her. Kira yawned again and snuggled up with Rogan.

"Y'know, I'd love to be married someday." Kira said.

"Me too." Rogan leaned over and kissed her forehead before turning on his side. "Maybe one day we'll be married." Rogan didn't get a response. "...Kira?"

Rogan rolled over and saw that Kira was now fast asleep. He smiled and gave her another kiss before falling asleep.

A week later, Kira and Tiana took Collin and Tammy out for the day to hang out and have fun. Rogan stayed in his room and played some video games to relax. As he played a fighting game, he thought back to his conversation that he had with Kira a week earlier. Marriage... that would be nice. Being married to Kira would be sweet! Rogan's cheeks turned pink as he imagined Kira in a beautiful wedding gown and carrying a bouquet of flowers.

Getting married would be great, but they weren't old enough yet. They were only 17! Rogan sighed and went back to playing his video game.

Wait...

"We can't get married yet, but i can still ask her to marry me!" Rogan grinned, but it quickly fell. "Wait... I can't afford to buy a ring right now..."

Rogan paused the game and began to think. Just asking her to marry him wouldn't be that special. What could he do...?

He sat on his bed and thought it over. He thought about giving her a candy ring and chuckled to himself. As funny as that'd be, that wasn't good enough. He started to think more. What could he give Kira? Then, he gasped. Kira saw a bracelet at a small shop that she loved! He could get her that!

Now excited, he turned off his game and tv and rushed out of his house.

Kira smiled as she heard Collin giggling while she pushed his stroller. She loved him so much and thought he was the cutest thing! They had fun with Tiana and Tammy and were making their way back home. Kira was very happy that Rogan's family allowed her to move in to help take care of their son. She thought back to everything that happened a year ago. Her older brother Blake was dating Wendy, Bowser's daughter.

While hanging out with Wendy and Tiana, they ran into Rogan and introduced them. They became friends and started dating shortly after. Earlier this year, they learned that she was pregnant and months later, she laid an egg and Collin hatched out of it after a few weeks. Kira's heart fluttered as she remembered seeing Rogan's huge smile on his face as he held their newborn son. Soon, they returned how and went inside.

Kira took Collin out of his stroller and headed to Rogan's room.

"Rogan! We're back!" She called out.

Rogan opened his bedroom door to let them in. Kira raised an eyebrow, noticing the huge grin that he had.

"Rogan? Are you alright?" She asked.

"I feel great!" Rogan kissed her cheek and ruffled Collin's brown hair. "I actually got a gift for you."

Kira gasped. "A gift? But it's not Valentine's Day yet or my birthday."

"I know. I just really wanted to get this for ya!"

Kira and Collin watched as Rogan reached into his shell. Then, Kira softly gasped. In Rogan's hand was a pink and white beaded bracelet. The exact same bracelet she saw at a small local shop before.

"Oh my gosh, Rogan! The bracelet! I can't believe you bought it!" Kira smiled widely.

"Well, I remembered you liked this bracelet when we were out that day. But... that's not the only reason why I bought it." Rogan replied, his heart racing.

"Huh? Why else?" Kira asked.

Kira's eyes widened and she placed a hand over her heart as Rogan got down on his knee.

"Kira Koopale, I know we're not at the right age yet, but one day, will you marry me?" Rogan asked.

Kira stared at him for a few seconds. Then, she smiled and teared up.

"Yes, Rogan! Of course!" Tears began to roll down Kira's cheeks.

Rogan chuckled and put the bracelet on her wrist. He stood up, wiped away her tears, and kissed her. Collin cooed as he looked at them.

"I can't wait to become your wife someday!" Kira smiled lovingly.

"Me neither." Rogan replied and kissed Kira again.

That's it for now! I'll try to write the next chapter soon, but if not, it'll definitely be up on Valentine's Day :D

Hi everyone! Here's a new chapter! Now, it's currently February 11th as I'm writing this and I was planning on posting it now, but this will be posted on Valentine's Day instead. So, Happy Valentine's Day everybody! I hope this version is better than the last one :)

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs! C Pyar, A Eady, Cassie Koopa, and Barbara C. Koopobs belong to my friend Cpr-Covet on DeviantArt.

A Eady yawned as she entered her home. She and a few of her friends were hanging out today and they had a great time! But now, all she wanted to do was sleep. As she entered her house, she noticed her older twin brother, C Pyar, sitting on the couch, deep in thought.

"Huh?" A Eady walked over to the couch and sat next to him. She called his name, but he didn't respond. After tapping him on the arm, C Pyar looked to his left and finally noticed his little sister.

"Oh, sorry Eady..." C Pyar said to her.

A Eady looked at him with a furrowed brow. "Bro, is everything alright?"

C Pyar sighed. "I... I'm just thinking about Cassie." He smiled softly. "We've been friends for a long time and I'm grateful for her always defending me and my other friends whenever we were bullied by someone."

C Pyar's smile widened as he thought back to their time in school. Any time someone bigger than him would cause problems for him, Cassie was always there to help him out. He would also help Cassie whenever she was in trouble. He and Cassie started dating after C Pyar saved her from drowning in a pool and he finally confessed his feelings to her. They went through ups and downs in their relationship. C Pyar cringed as he remembered drooling over other girls while dating Cassie.

Eventually, C Pyar stopped and they've been together ever since. Recently while spending the day at the beach, C Pyar rescued Cassie again from almost drowning. He was relieved that she was fine. C Pyar loved Cassie so much and he didn't want to lose her. After that thought, C Pyar looked at the green clad Shy Gal next to him.

"Sis, I wanna marry Cassie." He finally said.

A Eady looked at her brother and gasped. "Really? Are you serious?" As C Pyar nodded, she squealed. "Oh my gosh! This is so exciting! I know she'll say yes!" A Eady giggled. "When are you going to ask her?"

Pyar chuckled. "Sis, I haven't even bought a ring yet!" He looked up at the ceiling. "I wanna get it soon, but... I don't know when I'll ask her."

"Hmm," Eady thought for a moment. Then, she smiled. "I know! The carnival is coming in a few weeks. You can ask her then!"

C Pyar sat there and thought about it. They have talked about going to the carnival with their friends. Maybe... yes! This was perfect!

"That's a great idea, Eady! That's what I'll do!" C Pyar grinned.

The day of the carnival was finally here and everyone was excited. C Pyar and A Eady left their house and made their way to Cassie's to get her. Eady smiled brightly as they arrived at the front door. She looked over at her brother and noticed him squirming a little. Eady placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a gentle squeeze.

"Don't worry, bro. Everything'll be fine." Eady smiled at him.

Pyar took a few deep breaths, calming himself down. He knocked on the door and after a minute, it opened. The siblings smiled brightly seeing their Koopa friend on the other side, smiling at them also.

Cassie looked at the red and green clad twins. "Hey guys! Are you ready?"

"Yeah!" Eady and Pyar cheered in unison.

After locking the door, the three of them left and headed to the carnival.

The three friends looked around in amazement at the many different games and rides when they arrived at the carnival. They saw ring toss, balloon darts, bumper cars, and even a huge Ferris wheel.

"Wow!" A Eady smiled. "This is gonna be so much fun!"

"What should we do first?" Cassie asked.

C Pyar grinned. "Let's go on a ride!"

"Yeah!" A Eady pointed to a roller coaster. "Let's go on that first!"

The three made their way to the ride and got on it. C Pyar and Cassie got in the front while A Eady sat behind them with a Koopa Troopa. After more people got on, the ride started. The roller coaster slowly moved until it stopped at the top. Cassie held onto Pyar, making the Shy Guy blush. After sitting there for a few seconds, the roller coaster went down the slope at a faster speed, making everyone scream or cheer. Cassie held onto Pyar even tighter.

"That was amazing!" A Eady cheered as they got off of the ride.

Cassie rubbed her head. "I'm still dizzy..."

"Me too." C Pyar replied.

Eady looked around and saw a table.

"We can rest for a bit." She led them to the table and they sat down.

They talked for awhile until Cassie's and Pyar's dizziness went away. Eady looked around at their surroundings, seeing more rides, games, and food.

"What should we do next?" She asked.

"We could play a game." Pyar suggested. Then, his stomach growled loudly, making him blush and the girls laugh. "Ok, maybe we should eat first."

Cassie stood up from the table. "I'll go get us all something to eat. You two stay here."

The Koopa girl made her way to a food truck that was nearby. Her stomach grumbled as she smelled corn dogs, popcorn, and other delicious food. After paying for the food and taking it from the Toad, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

"Hm?" Cassie turned around and gasped, almost dropping their food. She stood there, frozen as she saw who was behind her.

A Eady looked up at the night sky. "I wonder what's taking Cassie so long."

"Me too." C Pyar looked around. "Which food truck did she go to again?"

The twins got up from the table and began looking for their friend. They eventually walked past a crowd and saw Cassie standing near another food truck, with Roy Koopa and his girlfriend Barbara standing in front of her.

"Oh great. They're here too." A Eady sighed.

As the two got closer, they could hear all of the nasty words the two Koopas were saying to their friend. C Pyar's anger grew when he saw tears forming in Cassie's eyes. Pyar looked at a table next to him and saw that someone left their cup with soda in it. Grabbing the cup, he made his way over to them. Roy noticed him out of the corner of his eye and smirked. He turned around to face him.

"Hey, Barb! Look who else is—"

Before Roy could finish his sentence, C Pyar threw the soda onto them. Barbara shrieked, feeling the soda rolling down her long brown and pink hair and ruining her makeup.

"Oh my gosh, you little twerp! Look at what you've done to me!" Barbara ran away, still screaming. "My hair! My makeup! They're ruined!"

C Pyar was knocked down to the ground after getting punched by Roy. A Eady rushed over and helped her brother up as Roy caught up with Barbara.

"Babe! Wait up!" They heard Roy call out.

"Are you alright, Pyar?" A Eady asked.

C Pyar nodded. "I think so." He dusted off his clothes and looked at his girlfriend. "Cass? Are you ok?"

Cassie stood there for a few seconds. Pyar's question finally registered and she shook her head. "Huh? Oh, yeah! I'm fine." Cassie smiled at them and began walking back to the table they were sitting at. "Come on! Let's eat!"

Pyar and Eady looked at each other, concerned. They decided to drop it for now and followed Cassie.

After they ate, the three ran into more of their friends like Kacey and Jasmine. The group were having fun playing games together. As Cassie played Whack-A-Mole with Kacey, A Eady sat next to her brother and whispered to him.

"So, when are you going to ask her?"

C Pyar whispered back, "I will soon. I don't know where I'll do it though."

A Eady sat there quietly and began to think. Once the two were finished their game, Cassie and Kacey walked over the others. A Eady looked behind her and smiled, getting an idea. She turned back to them and pointed to the ride.

"Hey, Cassie! You and Pyar should go on the Ferris wheel! It looks like fun!"

Cassie smiled. "Yeah, it does! We should all get on!"

"No, no. You and Pyar should go together!" A Eady said.

C Pyar looked at his sister, a confused expression on his face. Then, when he saw her wink at him, his eyes widened when he realized what she was trying to do. He smiled and took Cassie's hand. "Yeah! Let's go!"

"Uh, ok." As Cassie followed her boyfriend, A Eady turned to Jasmine and Kacey, quietly explaining to them what was going on.

"Alright, C Pyar! You can do this!" Pyar thought to himself. He and Cassie were now on the Ferris wheel.

He looked down at the ground, enjoying the view. He could see A Eady giving him a thumbs up and Jasmine and Kacey saying something to him (possibly words of encouragement).

After taking a deep breath, C Pyar spoke. "Cassie, I have something to tell you.

He didn't get a response.

"Cassie?"

Still no response. When Pyar turned to her, he frowned. Tears were flowing down Cassie's cheeks. He held her hand, making the Koopa girl slowly look at him.

"Cassie, what's wrong?" He asked, wiping a few tears away.

Cassie sniffled. "They're right..."

Knowing who she was talking about, C Pyar hugged her, rubbing her back as she sobbed more.

"No they're not. Roy and Barbara are huge jerks!" He said.

"They are right! I-I really am fat and ugly!" Cassie replied, crying even harder.

"No, you're not! Cassie, don't listen to those guys or anyone else like them! You're very beautiful." Pyar smiled at her.

Cassie looked at him. "You really think so?"

C Pyar nodded and gave her a warm smile as he wiped away more of her tears. "Cassie, there's something that I wanna give you."

"Oh? What is it?" She asked.

Cassie watched as C Pyar reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. Her heart fluttered and her cheeks grew warm. "...Pyar?"

"Cassie, I love you so much. I think you are the most beautiful, funny, and sweet girl that I've ever met." Pyar blushed as he opened the box, revealing the beautiful ring to her. "So... Cassandra Koopa, will you... marry me?" He finally asked.

Cassie stared at him, trying to hold back more tears, this time tears of joy. She hugged the Shy Guy tightly and said, "Yes! Yes, I'll marry you."

C Pyar smiled widely and put the ring on her finger, his heart racing. Once it was on her finger, Pyar hugged Cassie again, happy and excited for their future.

That's it for now everyone! I'll try to post the next chapter soon!

Hi! So, I don't usually write on Sundays or Mondays, but right now I'm able to! I was actually planning on writing this chapter back on Saturday, but I got tired after writing chapter 3 of "The Crystal Kingdom Redux" lol. But here's the next chapter! I hope this is way better now :3

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs! Princess Cardia and Princess Cassandra belong to CprCovet. Blake Koopale belongs to Manyface-Blake.

Prince Sterling, the ruler of Stardust Land, sighed as he sat down his pen. He's been busy all day signing papers and was finally finished. The Prince leaned back against his throne and closed his eyes.

"Man, it's been a long day..." He sighed again.

Dorian, a young Poplin boy that works for Sterling, walked closer to the Prince after dusting off a table. "Oh! You're finally finished, sir?"

Sterling nodded. "Yep. Took a long time, but it's done." Sterling stretched his arms. "I'm so tired..."

As Dorian sat down the cloth, he yawned and also stretched. "Prince Sterling, you should throw a party one day."

Sterling chuckled softly. "Really? What made you think of that, Dorian?"

"Well," Dorian looked at the Prince, "Earlier today, I was thinking about the two parties Princess Krystal threw before. Everyone had a great time, and I think lots of people would have fun again if you threw a party." Dorian smiled. "Plus, you could use a break from all of those papers.

Sterling nodded as he listened to the young child. "You know what? You're right, Dorian! I should throw a party!" Sterling began to think. "Maybe I can have it soon. I'm sure a lot of people will be able to come."

Dorian then gave the Prince a playful smirk. "I'm sure Princess Krystal would come to the party."

Sterling blushed, hearing his girlfriend's name. He quickly looked away from Dorian, making the boy giggle. "Y-Yeah, she would." Sterling then looked up at the clock and gasped. "It's getting late. You should head home, Dorian."

Dorian's smile fell. "Aw. Alright."

Sterling gave him a smile and said, "Don't worry, we'll see each other tomorrow. And, you can help me plan the party!"

Dorian grinned. "Great! I'll see you tomorrow, Prince!"

After bowing, Dorian said goodbye and left the castle.

"Wow! That's a lot of people! I hope they'll come." Dorian said, looking at the pile of invitations on the table.

Two days have passed since they talked about the party. After planning everything, Sterling began writing out invitations to his friends and other royals around the Mushroom World. Sterling chuckled as he sat another invitation on the pile.

"I'm sure they will." Sterling smiled as he looked down at the large pile. "I think that's everyone. Now, I just need to take them all to the post office."

Dorian nodded. Then, he noticed another envelope next to the Prince. "Don't forget that one!"

"Oh this?" Sterling picked up the invitation. "I'm actually going to deliver this one personally."

"Oh ok!" Dorian replied.

Once they were finished, Sterling put the one envelope in his pocket and then grabbed the others. Then, he left his castle and made his way to the post office. Once he was there, he went inside and greeted the Toad inside.

"Hello! I've got a lot of letters that need to be delivered!" Sterling said.

The Toad smiled. "Sure thing, Prince!"

After handing the Toad all of the letters, Sterling waved, said goodbye, and left the post office. He looked around when he made it outside and smiled. Today was a beautiful day! He then spotted the forest and headed towards it. Sterling smiled again once he was in the forest. He really loved walking through it and admiring the stardust and crystals around it.

Soon, Sterling was out of the forest and arrived in Geode City, a location in the Crystal Kingdom. The Crystal Kingdom was right next door to Stardust Land and Sterling was very grateful for that. That meant he and Krystal would be able to see each other more. He walked through the city, waving and greeting the citizens that were outside. After going through a few Warp Pipes, Sterling arrived at the Crystal Castle. The guards outside the castle said hello and opened the doors for the Prince.

Sterling walked through the halls until he heard voices coming from the throne room. When he got closer, a small Toad girl walked out and almost bumped into him. Luckily, she stopped herself.

"Oh, hi, Prince Sterling. Are you here to see the Princess?" She asked.

"Hey, Melody! Yes I am. I actually have something to give her." Sterling replied.

Melody smirked and whispered. "Is it an engagement ring?"

"N-No, it isn't!" Sterling exclaimed, his cheeks now red.

Melody giggled. "Aw ok. Well, I'll see ya later, Prince! I gotta go dust."

"Alright. See ya, Melody."

With a wave, Melody walked away. Sterling calmed down after that and entered the throne room. When he did, he saw the Princess sitting on her throne. She smiled brightly when she saw him walk inside.

"Hi, honey! What are you doing here?" Krystal asked.

Sterling walked over to her and kissed her forehead. "Hi. I wanted to give you something."

"Really? What is it?" Krystal asked.

Sterling reached into his pocket and pulled out the envelope. He handed it to her and said, "I'm throwing a party soon and I'm inviting you."

Krystal smiled after opening the envelope and pulling out the invitation. "Wow! That sounds like fun! I'll definitely come!"

"Great! Well, I should head back to the castle. I still have some other stuff to do."

Krystal nodded and gave Sterling a kiss. They said goodbye and Krystal watched him leave.

As Sterling walked back through the forest, his mind went back to Melody's question.

"An engagement ring..."

Sterling blushed again. He really did love Krystal and wanted to be with her forever. He also thought about marriage from time to time. Maybe it's time for them to get married? Once he made it back to Stardust Land, he smiled to himself. His heart then fluttered as he imagined Krystal in a beautiful wedding gown. After thinking it over a little longer, before heading back to his castle, Sterling made his way to a jewelry store in the kingdom.

The day of the party finally arrived and all of the guests made it. Everyone was having a great time! Mario and Luigi were eating, Peach and Daisy were talking to Rosalina and Pauline, and Melody and Dorian were dancing and laughing. Sterling smiled, but started to feel a little nervous.

"Where is she?"

"Sterling?" The Prince turned around to see Peach and Daisy approaching him.

"Oh, hey you two." Sterling gave them a small smile. "Have you guys seen Krystal anywhere?"

Peach shook her head. "I haven't."

"Don't worry! I'm sure she's around here somewhere!" Daisy replied.

Sterling nodded. "You're right."

Peach and Daisy talked with him for a few minutes before making their way over to the Mario Bros. After talking to Blake, he walked over to Princess Cardia and Princess Cassandra, rulers of Fitness Land and Imaginative Land respectively. Then, as the three royals talked, Sterling felt a hand tap him on the back. He turned around and smiled, seeing who tapped him.

"Krystal! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" Sterling greeted.

"Oh, I was talking with Queen Chanel." Krystal replied. "It's great to see you! You two Cassandra and Cardia."

"Same here, Krystal!" Cardia said.

Cassandra nodded in agreement. "It's been awhile!"

After talking with the two princesses, Sterling and Krystal danced together and talked for awhile. Krystal smiled and kissed Sterling on the cheek.

"I'm having a great time, Sterling!" She said.

Sterling chuckled and replied, "Me too. I'm glad you were able to come." Then, Sterling remembered something. "Hey, Krystal? Can you go to the garden with me? There's something that I wanna show you."

"Oh sure!" Krystal replied.

Sterling took her hand and led her outside. She smiled when they were in the garden. There were many roses, lilies, jasmines, and other beautiful flowers around them. Krystal looked at Sterling and smiled. "So, what did you want to show me, Sterling?"

Krystal watched as Sterling reached into his pocket and pull something out. Then, she let out a gasp. In his hand was a little black box. Her cheeks grew red as Sterling got down on one knee and opened the box, revealing the diamond ring inside.

"S-Sterling...?" Krystal whispered, her heart racing.

"Krystal, will you marry me? I've been wanting to ask you that for so long, but I wasn't sure when it was the right time. So... will you?" Sterling asked, his face red.

Krystal stared at him, trying her best to hold back her tears. Then, she finally said, "Oh... yes, Sterling! Of course I'll marry you!"

Smiling, Sterling put the ring on Krystal's finger. He got up, pulled her close, and kissed her. The two pulled away when they heard two familiar voices coming from behind them.

"He did it! He finally did it!" Melody cheered as she jumped up and down.

"It's about time!" Dorian added.

"G-Guys!?" Sterling and Krystal blushed more. "How long have you been there?"

Melody giggled and playfully smirked. "Long enough."

Krystal and Sterling then saw Cassandra, Cardia, and Blake walk over to the two kids.

"Congratulations!" The three cheered in unison.

Sterling and Krystal laughed. They then hugged each other, feeling even happier than before.

That's it for now! I was thinking about also writing the next chapter for "The Crystal Kingdom Redux" tonight, but I'll try to post that tomorrow :)

Hi! Here's a new chapter! Let's hope this is a little better than the last version :)

Disclaimer: Blake and Michael belong to Manyface-Blake. I only own my FCs.

Wendy sat on her bed with her infant son, Michael. She looked down at him and smiled as he fell asleep in her arms. After putting Michael in his crib, Wendy walked back over to her bed and lied down. She sighed happily as she closed her eyes and thought back to everything that happened in her life. She and her boyfriend Blake have been together for a few years now and they've been happy ever since. She and Blake were shocked when they found out that Wendy was pregnant, but they were also very excited and happy that their son is here.

Wendy smiled as she rubbed her belly. They were now going to have another baby soon, and everyone couldn't wait for the baby to arrive.

"I hope this one is a girl!" Wendy said to herself. Then, she thought of something interesting. "Hmm. Some of my friends are getting married soon, and others are already married." Wendy yawned. "I wanna be married someday too."

After letting out another yawn, Wendy closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Everyone was relaxing in the castle the following day. Wendy was in the game room spending time with Blake and Michael. She and Blake watched as their son played with his toys and smiled, finding Michael adorable.

Wendy giggled. "Michael's going to be a great big brother soon."

"Yeah, he will." Blake replied.

Wendy leaned over and kissed Blake on the cheek. "Do you think this next one will be a boy or a girl?"

"Hmm," Blake thought about it for a moment. "Maybe a girl? I'm not sure why, but I feel like it is."

"Really? Me too!" Wendy smiled. "Oh, I can't wait! Soon we'll be parents to two sweet little babies!"

Blake smiled and nodded in agreement. He still couldn't believe it! He was dating the Princess of the Koopa Kingdom and had a son with her, and another child on the way! He felt like the luckiest guy in the kingdom. No, the luckiest guy in the world! He gave Wendy a kiss, making them both blush a little.

Blake really loved Wendy and he hoped that they'd stay together forever.

"Wait a minute!" Blake thought to himself. "Some of our friends are married now. And some are getting married soon. What if... what if Wendy and I got married?" Blake smiled at that thought. "Yeah. We should get married!"

An hour later, Wendy and Michael were in Wendy's room and dozed off. Blake grinned, thinking that it was the perfect chance to head to the jewelry store. He thought it over in his head and he was sure that he was ready to get married. He loved Wendy so much and he thought that she'd be a wonderful wife. After making sure that he had enough coins, he quietly left Wendy's room and walked down the hall. As he walked, he wasn't paying attention and bumped into Yasmine, one of his friends, and Sharon, one of Wendy's cousins.

"Oh, sorry guys." Blake said as he helped them up.

"Dude, are you ok? You look like you're in a hurry." Sharon replied.

"Yeah. Where are you headed?" Yasmine asked.

Blake said, "To the jewelry store."

Sharon snorted. "Is my cousin making you buy her a new necklace or something?"

Blake shook his head. "Actually," He then whispered to the girls. "I'm gonna buy a ring for Wendy."

Yasmine and Sharon gasped.

"Y-You're serious?" Yasmine asked. As Blake nodded, she smiled brightly. "Oh my gosh, this is great! We can help you! Right, Sherry?

"Heck yeah!" Sharon and Yasmine grabbed Blake's hands and ran through the halls and out of the castle.

The three friends returned to Bowser's Castle an hour later. They took Blake to many different jewelry stores, but he couldn't find the perfect ring to buy Wendy. Blake sighed as they entered the castle and walked down the hallway.

Blake stared at the floor. "All of those rings were nice, but they weren't the one for her."

Sharon placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. I know you'll find the right one."

"Hold on..." Yasmine smiled, getting an idea. "I got it! Why don't you get one made for her?"

"Get one made?" Blake repeated.

Yasmine nodded and replied, "Yeah! I think it'd make it much more special!"

After thinking it over, Blake smiled. "You're right! That's perfect!"

Blake then turned around and rushed out of the castle.

A month had passed since Blake started looking for a ring. He decided to get one custom made and it was finally finished! Blake smiled to himself as he made his way back to Bowser's Castle. He told Wendy that he had to do something important a few minutes before leaving. She was a little confused, but didn't question it. Blake finally made it back and walked inside the castle, looking for Wendy.

He found his girlfriend in their room, sitting on the bed checking her makeup. She put her makeup supplies away and smiled when she saw Blake.

"Welcome back!" Wendy walked over to him and gave Blake a kiss. "So, are you finished with whatever that important thing was?"

Blake nodded. "Yep!" Blake's heart pounded in his chest. "I, uh, I got something for you."

Wendy smiled. "Really? What is it?"

Blake reached inside of his shell and pulled out a small box. Wendy gasped and her eyes widened as she saw Blake get down on one knee. He opened the box, showing her a pink, heart-shaped ring with a photo of Wendy inside.

"Wendy O. Koopa, wi—" Before Blake could finish his sentence, Wendy squealed and hugged him tightly.

"Oh my gosh! Yes, Blake! Of course I'll marry you!" Once she let him go, Blake put the ring on Wendy's finger.

Wendy smiled as she admired her ring. Blake stood up and Wendy kissed him as he pulled her closer.

"I can't wait to get married!" She cheered.

Blake chuckled and hugged her. "Me neither."

That's it for now! I still got some energy right now, so I'll try to work on the next chapter for "The Crystal Kingdom Redux"!

Hi guys! I was going to work on this chapter earlier, but I decided to work on chapter 12 of "The Crystal Kingdom Redux". But here's this new chapter! I hope you like it :D

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Ludwig and Jasmine have been together for a few years now. Despite their occasional arguments, the two remained in love and cared for one another. Both of them wanted to be together forever. They were laughing and chatting one day as they were relaxing outside of Jasmine's house in the Mushroom Kingdom. Grinning, Jasmine gave Ludwig a hug.

"I can't wait for my party! I'm glad that Peach is letting me have it at the castle." Jasmine said.

Ludwig said, "I know you're going to have fun."

"Sooo," Jasmine said as she smirked and sat closer to Ludwig, "What gift are you going to give me?"

Ludwig chuckled. "Haha! I'm not going to tell you!"

"Aww. Not even a hint?" Jasmine asked.

Ludwig shook his head. "No. You'll just have to wait and see."

"Haha alright." Jasmine said and kissed him.

After a few weeks, the day of Jasmine's party finally arrived. The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. were finishing getting ready since the party was starting soon. Ludwig was in his room sitting on his bed. He looked down at the little box he was holding and opened it to see the ring inside. Ludwig then inhaled deeply.

"I'm sure she'll say yes." He thought. He heard a knock on the door a few moments later.

"Hey, Ludwig! Are you ready?" Larry asked from the other side of the door. Ludwig closed the box and quickly hid it inside of his shell.

Ludwig replied back, "Yes! I'm coming!" He got up and opened the door to see Larry, Iggy and Lemmy.

Ludwig looked at his three brothers and asked, "Where are the others?"

"They're already outside." Larry replied.

"Hey, you got Jasmine's gift?" Lemmy asked.

Ludwig started to blush a little. "Oh, yes."

Iggy stared at his oldest brother. "Are you alright, bro?"

"Yes. Let's go." Ludwig replied. His younger brothers watched him as he walked out of his room.

"Hey guys!" Jasmine greeted. Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings arrived at Peach's castle and were greeted by their friend. They went inside and gave Jasmine her gifts. Everyone, except for Ludwig.

"Wait, where's Ludwig's gift?" Lemmy asked. Everyone looked over at him.

"Hehe. You still have to wait a little longer for mine." Ludwig said, looking at his girlfriend.

Jasmine smirked. "Hmm. Now I'm REALLY curious!"

Everyone was having a great time at the party. Morton and Stacey were eating cake, Iggy and Tiana were talking, Roy and Kacey were dancing, and Ludwig and Jasmine were sitting down at a table talking. While they talked, Ludwig then remembered the ring. He looked at Jasmine and smiled.

"So, are you ready for your gift?" He asked her.

"Yes! What did you get me?" Jasmine asked.

Ludwig looked around and then asked Jasmine, "Is there somewhere we can go to be alone?"

"Alright. Follow me." Jasmine replied and led him to Peach's balcony without anyone noticing.

Once they were on the balcony, Ludwig looked at Jasmine. "Close your eyes."

"Aw really?" Jasmine wondered. Ludwig chuckled and nodded. Jasmine then covered her eyes. While she wasn't looking, Ludwig took the box out of his shell, opened it, and knelt down on his knee.

"Can I look now?" asked Jasmine.

"Yes you can." Ludwig replied. Jasmine moved her hands away from her eyes and adjusted her glasses. She looked down at the Koopa in front of her and gasped when she saw the ring.

"L-Ludwig... are you serious?" She asked. Both of them began to blush.

"Jasmine, I love you so much." Ludwig began.

Jasmine blushed even more. "I love you too."

Ludwig then said, "I knew that I wanted to be with you forever for a long time now."

"Me too." Jasmine smiled.

"So, Jasmine... will you marry me?" Ludwig asked, still blushing.

"Yes, Ludwig! Yes I'll marry you!" Jasmine exclaimed. Grinning, Ludwig placed the ring on her finger. Jasmine kissed him when he stood up and grabbed his arm.

"Come on, Luddy! Let's go tell everyone the great news!" Jasmine said as she began running back to the ballroom.

I'll work on the next chapter soon!

Hi guys! I'm finished working on "The Crystal Kingdom Redux" and now I'm finally back to updating this story! I hope you all like this one :D

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

It's now been a year since Roy and Kacey started dating. Although he still disapproved of his sister's relationship with Bowser's son, Kayden, Kacey's older brother, wanted Kacey to be happy. The two were resting by a tree in the Mushroom Kingdom. With a sigh, Kacey gave Roy a hug.

Kacey stated, "I'm so happy being with you."

Roy said, "Me too."

"I hope we'll stay together." Kacey replied as she smiled at him.

"Maybe we will." Roy whispered and kissed her cheek. With a smile, Kacey gave the Koopaling another hug. Then, a thought came to her.

"You know, I'd love to get married someday." She said.

Roy looked at her. "Oh really?"

Kacey nodded and grinned. "Yeah! I think it's really nice to be with the person you love forever."

Roy's heart fluttered and he smirked at her. "Hehe. Maybe I'll marry ya someday."

"That'd be great!" Kacey replied.

It had been a couple years since they had that conversation. Roy and Kacey were still together and they were still very happy. One day while out of the castle, Roy purchased a ring in order to pop the question to Kacey. Unfortunately, each time he tried to ask her, Roy would always get interrupted. Today, Kacey, Peach, and Peach's children, Arturo and Bianca, were abducted by the henchmen of Justin and Jade, two Toads who were created by Ludwig and Iggy a few years back. The Toads were originally working with the Koopas, but turned on them and continue to try taking over the Koopa Kingdom and the Mushroom Kingdom.

To save them, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and their friends decided to work together.

After arriving at Justin and Jade's fortress, the group began to fight and defeat their minions. They then located Peach, Kacey, and the children in a different room, with Jade and Justin standing in front of the cell that trapped them. The four watched as the others fought. After a while, the Toads were stopped and Mario opened the cell to let them out.

"You guys did it!" Peach said as she gave Mario a kiss. Mario smiled and hugged Bianca and Arturo.

"Roy! I'm so happy you came to help too!" Kacey said as she ran up to him and gave Roy a hug.

Roy looked at Kacey and said, "Kacey, I need to ask you this now and I better not get interrupted again!" He took the box out of his shell, opened it, and knelt down. "Kacey, will you marry me?"

"Yes, Roy! Of course I'll marry you!" Kacey said as she held back tears. After placing the ring on her finger, Roy stood up and gave her a kiss.

Everyone cheered and congratulated them. After that, they departed from the fortress and headed home. As they walked away, Kacey gave Roy a hug.

"I'm so happy! I can't wait for our wedding!" She cheered.

"Me too." Roy replied.

Kacey smiled. "I love you, Roy."

Roy held her hand and replied, "I love you too, Kacey."

I really wish I could've made this version longer ^^; Anyways, hopefully it won't take me over a month to post the next chapter. But while I continue to work on this story, I'm also going to try to outline and write the first draft of my next fanfic about my FC Jasmine!

Have a great day everyone!

Hi guys! My plan was to write yesterday, but I didn't feel like it in the end. But I'm writing today! I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

Disclaimer: Characters belong to Nintendo!

It was a beautiful day today in Sarasaland and everyone was having a fun time. Since some time has passed since their last go kart race, Daisy suggested that they have another one. Her friends agreed and the final race was near the Easton Kingdom. Rosalina and Pauline weren't racing today, but they were happy to watch and cheer for their friends. The racers were getting closer and closer to the finish line and everyone watched in anticipation. Then, at last, Birdo crossed the finish line, winning in first place.

"Oh my goodness! Birdo won!" Rosalina cheered, watching her friend jump up and down.

"She did it! She won all four races!" Pauline replied. She then noticed Yoshi leaving his seat and walking over to Birdo. "I guess Yoshi's going to congratulate her."

The two watched as Yoshi and Birdo talked to each other. Then, Rosalina and Pauline gasped. Yoshi got down on one knee and held a brand new diamond ring in his hand. Pauline and Rosalina looked at each other.

"Is he?" Rosalina started.

"I think he is!" Pauline replied.

They couldn't hear what was said, but they heard Birdo squeal, which made Pauline chuckle. Birdo then removed her ring and put it on her other hand so Yoshi could put the engagement ring on her. Birdo squealed once again and hugged Yoshi tightly.

Two months ago.

One evening in the Mushroom Kingdom, Yoshi was walking away from Mario and Luigi's house. The spent most of the day hanging out and watched movies together. The three friends finished eating dinner together and their movie ended, so it was time for Yoshi to head home. He walked by the different houses in Toad Town, a few humans and Toads still out. As he waved to them, Yoshi finally arrived at his house. He opened the door and walked inside, yawning.

Yoshi made his way upstairs and went to his room. He looked at the clock on his wall. It was almost nine o'clock at night.

He yawned again and said, "I should go to bed now..."

After kicking off his shoes, Yoshi got into bed. He let out another yawn as he pulled the blanket over himself. Yoshi closed his eyes and sighed, trying to fall asleep. As he lay there, Yoshi thought about all of his friends and how much fun he has with them. He smiled to himself as he thought about his girlfriend Birdo.

Mario introduced Birdo and Yoshi at one of his tennis games. The two immediately hit it off and started dating a few months later. They really loved and cared about each other so much. Birdo thought Yoshi was really kind, and Yoshi thought Birdo was beautiful and never judged her. As he thought about her, another thought came to his mind.

"What if we were married?"

Yoshi chuckled to himself, his cheeks now slightly pink. Being married to Birdo would be really sweet! They've been dating for a few years now, so maybe it was finally time for them to get married!

Yoshi eventually fell asleep, knowing what he was going to do tomorrow.

Present

Yoshi and his friends were heading to Sarasaland for a go kart race. Yoshi wasn't racing this time, but was happy to cheer for his girlfriend and their other friends who were racing today. As Yoshi sat with Dry Bones and Koopa Troopa, his mind went to Birdo.

"I can do this. I can do this!"

Yoshi was pulled out of his thoughts when the first race started. Mario was in first place so far and Birdo was in sixth. Birdo got a red shell and threw it, hitting Daisy and making it to fifth place. She grabbed another item block and got three more red shells. After throwing them, Birdo made it to first place! Yoshi and the others around him cheered for her.

The first round soon ended and Birdo won in first place. Peach and Daisy congratulated her, but also said they'd try harder in the next round.

The final round was beginning to start and Yoshi rushed to his seat after getting more popcorn. He made it just in time and the Lakitu arrived to start the race. Once he did, all of the racers took off.

"Go Birdo!" Yoshi cheered.

"You can do it, Daisy!" A Shy Guy yelled.

After slipping on a banana peel and getting hit by different shells, Birdo unfortunately made it to tenth place. She grumbled, but tried to pass Wario. She grabbed an item block and smiled. She got a Bullet Bill! Grinning, Birdo used the item, knocking down Wario, Waluigi, Larry, and even Mario. Eventually, she made it to third place, making everyone cheer.

Birdo got another item block and got three banana peels. She threw them, making Mario, Luigi, and Daisy slip on them. Birdo passed them and was finally back in first place! Her heart raced as she saw the finish line up ahead.

"Alright! I'm almost there!" She thought to herself.

Birdo turned around and her eyes widened. A green shell was coming towards her. Thankfully, it hit a banana peel instead and she relaxed. When she turned back around, she grinned. Birdo was getting even closer to the finish line! She got closer and closer and then...

"Woohoo! I won!" Birdo made it and once again won in first place!

The crowd clapped and cheered for her. Yoshi ran from his seat and over to the track where Birdo was standing.

"Congratulations, Birdo! I knew you could do it!" Yoshi smiled at her.

Birdo giggled. "Thanks, Yoshi!"

After a few seconds, Yoshi spoke again. "Hey, Birdo. I have something for ya."

"Really?" Birdo looked at her boyfriend. "What is it?"

Birdo gasped as Yoshi got down on his knee and pulled out a brand new ring. Mario and a few of the other racers around them gasped and smiled.

"Oh my..." Birdo whispered.

"I've wanted to ask you this for some time now, but now I'm ready! So, Birdo, will you marry me?" Yoshi finally asked.

Birdo squealed. "Yes! Yes, of course I will!"

Birdo removed her ring and put it on her other hand. Yoshi smiled, put the engagement ring on her, and stood up. Before he could speak, Birdo squealed again and hugged Yoshi tightly as everyone else congratulated them.

Yoshi chuckled. "I love you, Birdo."

Birdo giggled, still hugging him. "I love you too, Yoshi!"

That's it for now! Next week I'll try to post another chapter along with outlining my next fanfic!

Hi guys! Finally, I'm back with a new chapter! Hopefully this will be slightly better than the last version :)

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Yasmine, a friend of Wario, Waluigi, and the Mario Bros., watched as her boyfriend Lemmy juggled a few balls as he balanced on his circus ball. As he caught the balls and leaped off his yellow circus ball, Yasmine clapped. Lemmy took a seat beside Yasmine on his bed and gave her a hug.

Yasmine cheered. "You get better every time I watch you!"

Lemmy replied, "Thanks, honey! We're having another show soon and I need to keep practicing!"

Yasmine gave him a smile. "You should take a break though. Don't overdo it."

Lemmy hugged her again and laughed. "Haha, don't worry!"

Yasmine hugged him back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Lemmy sighed and rested his head on her lap, smiling as Yasmine played with his hair.

"Are you still coming to my next show?" Lemmy asked after a minute of silence.

Yasmine chuckled and said, "Of course! You know I'd never miss it!"

"This show is going to be really special." Lemmy said.

"Oh? Why's that?" Yasmine asked him. Lemmy's face started to flush as he swiftly sat up and turned to face her.

"It's a surprise! You gotta wait and see." He said.

"Hahaha, alright!" Yasmine responded.

A week earlier

Lemmy was spending time with his brother Iggy and cousin Sandra in the castle. While the rest of their siblings were doing other things in the castle, they were watching a movie in the game room. After a few minutes, Sandra turned to face Lemmy as they watched the movie.

"Hey Lemmy, how's Yasmine by the way? I haven't seen her in awhile." Sandra said.

"Oh, she's great! I'm gonna hang out with her again tomorrow! You should join us!" Lemmy replied.

Sandra remarked, "You guys have been dating for a long time now."

"Yeah. They might even get married someday." Iggy added and kept watching the movie. The three of them were silent again.

Lemmy thought to himself for a couple of minutes before speaking again.

"...Y'know what? I should marry Yazzie." Lemmy finally said.

"Really?" Iggy asked.

"Are you ready for that, Lemmy?" Sandra asked, a concerned look on her face. "I mean, you shouldn't do things because others think you should."

Lemmy thought it over once more. He and Yasmine have been together for a few years now. They were very happy together and they loved and cared about each other very much. Lemmy looked at his younger brother and younger cousin after thinking it over.

"I wanna marry Yasmine!" Lemmy cheered. "I'm ready! I wanna get married!"

Sandra gave him a smile. "Well, alright then."

Lemmy then grabbed their arms and began to rush out of the castle.

"Lemmy! Where are we going?" Iggy asked his older brother.

"I need you guys to help me find a ring for Yasmine. It has to be perfect!" Lemmy replied as he ran.

Lemmy's circus finally arrived and lots of Koopas, humans, and other creatures came to watch. His family and friends were among the large crowd. Yasmine sat next to Stacey, her friend and Morton's girlfriend, and waited for the show to begin. Soon, a Koopa Troopa walked to the middle of the tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome!" He said through the microphone. The audience cheered and clapped. The Koopa Troopa spoke again and said, "We will start with the clowns!"

Everyone watched and laughed as the clowns performed, doing various techniques. Once the clowns were finished, they watched baton twirling, a few animals, and acrobats. Finally, Lemmy entered on his circus ball. Everyone cheered as they watched him, his friends and family cheering the loudest. Lemmy began to take the small rubber balls out of his shell and began juggling them.

Soon his act ended and everyone applauded.

"Thank you! Thank you, everyone!" Lemmy said as he hopped off of his circus ball and bowed. The Koopa Troopa returned and handed the microphone to Lemmy. "Before we show the last act, I have a special surprise for someone!" Lemmy looked towards the crowd. "Yasmine, can you come down here for a second?"

A spotlight shone on her, and everyone's eyes were now on her. Blushing, Yasmine left her seat and made her way down to the ring where Lemmy stood.

"Lemmy, what's going on?" Yasmine asked him. He blushed as he gazed at her.

Lemmy then said, "Yasmine, like I said, I have a special surprise for you."

He then pulled out a little blue box from his shell. Then, everyone gasped and began to whisper to each other as he got down on one knee. Yasmine stared at him wide eyed.

"Le-Lemmy...?" Yasmine said. She watched as he opened the box, revealing a diamond ring inside.

"Yasmine... I love you so much. I gave this a lot of thought, and I'm ready to get married. I really hope you're ready too. Will you marry me?" Lemmy asked, his face completely red now.

The crowd was silent as they watched the couple. Yasmine glanced at the ring, then at Lemmy.

"Lemmy..." Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Yes! Yes, I will! I will marry you!"

Everyone cheered and clapped for them. Lemmy grinned as he put the engagement ring on her finger. Before Lemmy could stand up, Yasmine knelt down and hugged Lemmy tightly.

"I love you so much." Yasmine said, still crying.

Lemmy replied, "I love you too."

After wiping away her tears, Lemmy smiled again and gave Yasmine a kiss.

I'll try to post the next chapter tomorrow :)

Hi everyone! I hope you like this chapter :D

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"Hi, honey!" Stacey, Yasmine's friend, said as she greeted her boyfriend, Morton Koopa Jr. He was relaxing in his room when Stacey came in. Stacey planted a kiss on Morton's cheek as she sat down next to him, causing the dark skinned Koopaling to blush.

"Hi. How have ya been, hun? It's been a week or two since we last spoke." Morton remarked, giving her a hug.

"I'm doing fine. I've been really busy lately helping Mario and Luigi with a lot of different stuff." Stacey replied. She took off her lime green hat and Morton began to play with her short brown hair, making Stacey smile.

Stacey spoke again. "Y'know, we haven't gotten a chance to go out on a date since I've been busy."

"Yeah, you're right." Morton replied. "When should we?"

Stacey thought for a second.

"Well, remember that carnival we went to on our first date?" Stacey asked.

Morton nodded and replied, "Yep! How could I forget? We had a great time!"

"It's coming again soon and I was hoping we could go again." She said.

"Of course! I can't wait to play more games there with you!" Morton cheered. Stacey giggled as she watched him.

Stacey thought to herself. "Maybe I can ask him there."

The next day, Morton was with his siblings and father discussing their next plan to take over a different kingdom. When they were finished, everyone went back to their rooms. Morton lied down on his bed and began to think. While lost in his thoughts, he began to think about Stacey. They have been dating for a few years now and they cared about each other so much.

Morton thought about his siblings, some of whom were already married or engaged. He loved Stacey and wanted to be with her for a long time.

Morton remarked, "Maybe we should get married."

After giving it a lot of thought, Morton made the decision to ask Stacey to marry him.

Morton left the castle a week later to find a ring for Stacey. He found the perfect one and kept it hidden in his shell until he returned to his room. Morton then took the ring out of his shell, hid it in one of his drawers, and sat on his bed. Morton began to think again.

"Hmm. Maybe I should ask her at the carnival!"

Soon the carnival made it to Toad Town and the couple was getting ready for their date. After grabbing the ring and placing it within his shell, Morton set out for the Mushroom Kingdom.

When he arrived, Stacey, who had been waiting for him outside her home, grinned. He took her hand and they started heading to the carnival.

"What should we play first?" Stacey asked when they arrived. Morton looked around the area.

"Wanna try ring toss?" He suggested.

"Sure!" Stacey smiled and followed him.

The couple played more games like Darts, Whac-A-Mole, and they tried the dunk tank again. After getting on a few rides, the two got hungry and decided to eat. While they ate, Morton noticed that Stacey was spacing out.

"Stacey? Are you ok?" Morton asked her. After hearing her name, Stacey shook her head and began to blush slightly.

"O-Oh! Sorry! I'm alright. I was just thinking about something." She replied.

"Oh? What's that?" He asked.

"U-Um..." Stacey looked around until her eyes landed on a familiar ride. "I was thinking... about that ride."

Morton turned to where Stacey was pointing. "Oh! The tunnel of love. You wanna go on that ride like we did before?"

Stacey nodded and Morton smiled at her.

"We can go on the ride after we finish eating." He said.

Stacey smiled again. "I should ask him then."

After finishing their meal, the two got on the ride. They were quiet for a few minutes until Stacey spoke.

"Morton?" She said.

"Yeah?" He replied back.

"Alright, Stacey. You can do this!" Stacey thought and took a deep breath.

"Morton... I love you so much." She began.

Morton smiled and said, "I love you too, Stacey."

"Well, for awhile now, I've been thinking about our relationship and... I want us to be together forever." Stacey replied, making them both blush.

"I feel the same way." Morton said.

"This has to be the perfect time to ask her!" Morton started reaching inside of his shell, but Stacey took both of his hands and looked up at him.

"Morton, I'm saying all of this because... I wanted to ask you if you would... marry me?" Stacey asked, her face completely red now.

They stared at each other for a moment. Then, Morton started chuckling, making Stacey confused.

"W-What's so funny, Morty?" She asked. Morton stopped and stared at her.

"I was going to ask you to marry me." Morton replied.

"Wait really?" She asked. Morton took out the small blue heart-shaped box from his shell and opened it, revealing a ring with a lime green jewel. Stacey gasped and started blushing again. "Oh, Morton! It's beautiful!" She exclaimed.

"Haha! I knew you'd love it!" Morton answered.

Stacey smirked and said, "You know, you never answered my question."

"Why don't we ask each other at the same time?" Morton suggested.

"Haha sure!" Stacey responded.

"3..."

"2..."

"!..."

"Will you marry me?" The two asked each other. "Yes!"

After removing the ring from the box, Morton placed it on Stacey's ring finger. She looked at it and hugged him.

"I love you, Morton." Stacey said, smiling at him.

"I love you too, Stacey." Morton replied and kissed her. Stacey wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back.

That's it for now!

Hello! Finally, I'm back with a new chapter! I hope you all enjoy it! At first, I was going to try to write Friday since my laptop was slow earlier today, but so far it's fine :)

Also, this story is set before Roy x Kacey, Morton x Stacey, and Lemmy x Yasmine get engaged :D

Kai yawned and stretched as he woke up. He looked towards his window, seeing the sun shining brightly in his room. Yawning again, he got out of bed and headed to his bathroom to get ready for the day. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Kai fixed his Afro and then went to his room to get dressed. He went to his drawers and found his white shirt, light blue camp shirt with sun designs on it, white shorts, and next to his bed were his white shoes.

Once he was ready, he left his house. He smiled when he made it outside, seeing a few people out already. Serene Isles is a beautiful tropical kingdom. Kai enjoyed swimming in the ocean and hanging out at the beach. He also enjoyed spending time with his friends and girlfriend.

His girlfriend is the ruler of Serene Isles, Princess Summer. The two of them met when they were fifteen years old and quickly became friends. They started dating a year later and now, at twenty-two years old, they are still together. Kai was making his way to the castle to have breakfast with her. After a few minutes, he arrived at the large castle and the guards let him inside. Kai walked through the halls until he arrived at the dining hall, where he saw his girlfriend.

Princess Summer wore her gold crown with two pearls on each side of it along with a seashell in the middle, pearl earrings, and her purple dress with pearls on it and a seashell brooch. The tropical princess smiled when she saw her boyfriend and stood from her seat.

"Hi, Kai!" She greeted.

Kai walked up to her and kissed her, playing with her long twists. "Hey, sweetie."

The two sat next to each other and the chefs entered the dining hall, carrying two bowls of porridge and coffee. The chefs sat the food and drinks in front of them and quietly left. As the couple ate, Summer spoke up.

"You ready to go to the Mushroom Kingdom today?" Summer asked Kai.

Kai swallowed his porridge and said, "Yep! I can't wait to see everyone!"

"I can't wait to see their kids too!" Summer giggled. "I'd love to have a baby someday."

Kai blushed slightly. "You'd be a great mom."

Summer gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks sweetie."

The two ate their breakfast in silence. Once they were finished, Summer and Kai left her castle and made their way to Summer's private jet. Once the two got on board and took their seats, the jet took off, heading to the Mushroom Kingdom.

The jet landed in the Mushroom Kingdom a few hours later. Kai and Summer walked out and made their way to Peach's castle. They greeted a few Toads that were out today and finally arrived at the castle. The two guards let them inside and they were then greeted by Toadsworth. The elderly Toad lead the couple to the Great Hall, where their friends were waiting.

Mario and Peach were sitting next to each other, with their six year old son Arturo playing on the floor and their one year old daughter Bianca in Mario's arms, giggling and trying to grab Mario's hat. Luigi and Daisy were sitting across from them, Daisy holding their baby girl Alyssa. Yasmine sat next to Luigi while Stacey sat next to Daisy. Jasmine, the current Queen of the Koopa Kingdom and first human to rule the Koopas, sat next to Peach and held her baby human/Koopa hybrid daughter Jackie in her arms while her two year old Koopa son Luke crawled over to Arturo to play with him. Kacey sat next to Mario and her older brother Kayden sat beside her.

Daisy looked at the two and smiled. "Hey, guys! You made it!"

Kai and Summer greeted everyone and took a seat near Jasmine.

"Of course! We wanted to see you all!" Kai replied.

"Especially these little cutie pies!" Summer said, holding Jackie's tiny hand.

The group of friends talked about their day and anything they found interesting. Summer glanced down at Jasmine's hand.

"Wow! Ludwig gave you a gorgeous ring!" Summer said. "It's still amazing!"

Jasmine chuckled. "I know, right? I love it!"

Kai looked around at his friends. Some of them were still dating while others were already married and had their own children. Kai's heart fluttered as a thought came to his head.

"What if Summer and I got married one day?"

Kai heard his girlfriend speak again, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Oh! You all should definitely come to Serene Isles a month from now! Everyone in the kingdom will be out for the Festival of Serenity!"

"Festival of Serenity? What's that?" Kayden asked.

Kai smiled. "It's the celebration of the foundation of Serene Isles! It's really fun!"

Daisy said, "That does sound fun! We'll definitely be there!"

"Can Roy come?" Kacey asked.

"Morton too!" Stacey added.

Summer looked at Jasmine, Kacey, Yasmine, and Stacey. "Well, as long as they don't attempt to attack my kingdom like before, the entire Koopa family can come! The more the merrier!"

"Yay!" Arturo cheered as he stood up from the floor. "I can see Tammy again!"

Peach giggled at the mention of Iggy's and Tiana's seven year old daughter. "That's right, honey!"

As everyone excitedly talked about the Festival of Serenity, Kai began to get lost in his thoughts again.

Two weeks after visiting the Mushroom Kingdom, Kai was taking a walk around Serene Isles. Summer was currently busy with paperwork, so they weren't able to spend time together. Kai didn't mind too much, since he had a lot on his mind. He thought about it long and hard, and he decided that he wanted to ask Summer to marry him. But, there was one problem with that. Kai didn't have enough coins to by an engagement ring for the princess.

Kai walked around the kingdom, trying to figure out what he could give Summer instead of a ring. He eventually arrived at one of the beaches, smelling the salty ocean nearby. He smiled and walked closer to the water. Then, he felt his foot hit something in the sand.

"Hm?" Kai knelt down and picked up the object that he hit. He gasped softly and smiled. "A pink Pearl!" Kai chuckled to himself. "I guess it washed up here."

Kai looked over the Pearl, finding it very pretty. Then, he got an idea. Grinning, he put the gemstone into his pocket and made his way back to his house.

"Wow! Look at everything!" Daisy exclaimed.

Mario, his family and friends, and the Koopas arrived in Serene Isles. Today was finally the day of the Festival of Serenity and the entire tropical kingdom was decorated. The citizens were walking around eating food, dancing, and talking to each other. Summer and Kai eventually made their way to them and smiled.

"Welcome everyone! Please, follow me!" Summer said.

The large group followed the princess and her boyfriend to the center of the kingdom. They then noticed a few people carrying lanterns.

"What are the lanterns for?" Jasmine asked.

Summer smiled. "I'm gonna explain right now!"

As Summer walked away from them, Kai gave the others their own lanterns. Still confused and a little curious, they all watched as Summer picked up a microphone and began to speak.

"Hello everyone! Today, we are once again celebrating the Festival of Serenity, the day my family founded Serene Isles!" Everyone clapped and cheered after Summer said that.

Summer began to quickly explain how the kingdom was founded. As she mentioned the voyage everyone made to this island back then, Kai began to think to himself.

"Just a few more hours. You can do this, Kai!"

Kai blinked when Summer finished her explanation. He then saw her grab a Fire Flower, her dress turning purple and white.

"I will now light all of the lanterns, symbolizing the light the founders saw when they arrived at the island!"

Everyone grinned and cheered as Summer threw fireballs at the lanterns, quickly lighting them. Once every lanterns was lit, she smiled at everyone.

"Now, let's all have a great time today!" Summer cheered.

Once she turned off and sat down the microphone, everyone then watched as a few musicians stood in front of everyone and began to play music.

Everyone had a great time. More people danced, more food and drinks were set out for everyone (Morton and Mario immediately rushing over to try some), and the kids got to blow bubbles. Tammy and Arturo played together with their bubbles and wore flower crowns that were made for the festival. Kai and Summer sat with each other as they ate food, Summer's dress back to normal.

"I'm glad everyone got to come." Kai said.

"And luckily Bowser and his family aren't causing trouble." Summer laughed.

Kai felt his pocket, making sure that the item was still there. Luckily, it was.

"Are you ok, Kai?" Summer asked him. "You seem like something's on your mind."

Kai chuckled nervously. "Oh yeah! I'm just having a great time!"

Summer smiled at him. "Alright."

Nightfall came and it was time for everyone to release small boats with candles into the sea. The children giggled as they watched their boats float away. Tammy and Arturo waved goodbye to theirs, their parents finding them adorable. Once Kai and Summer released theirs, Kai took a deep breath.

"Hey, Summer. I, uh, I have something for you." Kai began.

"Really?" Summer asked. "What is it?"

Summer and a few of their friends that were nearby gasped as Kai took her hand and got down on one knee. Soon, more people saw the couple. Kai then reached into his pocket and pulled out the pink Pearl.

Kai smiled at her. "Princess Summer, I love you so very much. I've thought about this, and... I would be honored to be your husband. I know that this isn't a ring, but I promise I'll get you one soon. Will you marry me?"

Summer began to tear up. "Oh Kai... of course I will!"

Everyone cheered and clapped and Kai handed her the pink Pearl. Once he stood, Summer kissed him. They pulled away and hugged each other.

"I love you, Summer." Kai said and kissed her again.

Summer giggled. "I love you too, Kai."

That's it for now! I hope this chapter was alright.

Here's the next chapter! I got some time to write today! I hope this version will be a litter better than the last one :) I debated on whether to use Kira or Karrisa for this story since Karrisa is Rogan's current partner in my updated AU, but I decided to keep this one the same as the original, so I'll be using Kira for this one :)

Disclaimer: Only own my FCs! Kira belongs to Manyface-Blake

Collin and Tammy have been friends since they were babies. Since their parents were friends, they believed that it would be good if their kids also became friends. Collin enjoyed spending time with Tammy, despite the fact that she can be a bit eccentric like her father Iggy. When they were teenagers, they realized they had feelings for each other and started dating after confessing their feelings. The two, who are now adults, have been happily together ever since.

One day Collin was hanging out with Tammy at the castle. After working on an experiment in the lab, they went to her room to watch tv. After a few minutes, Tammy looked at Collin.

"Your parents' anniversary is coming up soon right?" She asked him.

To which Collin said, "Yup."

"We should get them a gift tomorrow." Tammy smiled. Then, she thought of something. "Y'know, I think it would be nice to be married."

"Really?" Collin looked back at her. Then, Tammy's face reddened.

"Yeah. Sometimes I imagine you proposing to me. Or my dad walking me down the aisle." Tammy's response caused them both to blush. "B-But, we don't have to get married if you don't want to! I don't even know if I'm ready for that..." Tammy said.

Collin pulled her closer to him and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Don't worry, Tammy. I wanna get married. And you'd make a great wife, I'm sure." Collin said as he grinned.

"You'd be a great husband!" Tammy replied and kissed him.

Two weeks have passed since their conversation. Collin was lying on his bed in his room. He was absorbed in his thoughts when he thought back to the conversation he had with Tammy.

"I really want to marry Tammy. But I don't have enough money to buy her a ring yet." Collin let out a sigh. "I don't know what to do..." Collin sighed once more.

The next day, Collin and his parents were visiting Rogan's parents and sister. Everyone was talking, but Collin was once again absorbed in his thoughts. Rogan's younger sister, Taylor, saw this and gave him a concerned look.

"Collin? Are you alright, sweetie? You don't usually zone out." She said.

"Oh... I'm alright, Aunt Taylor."

"Are you sure?" Kira, Collin's mother, asked. Collin felt his face growing warm and looked away from his family.

"Well, Tammy and I were talking about... getting married one day." He replied, his face completely red now. "I wanted to buy her a ring but—"

"Let me guess. You don't have enough coins?" His grandfather asked.

Collin blinked. "H-How did you know?"

Kira spoke up, saying, "Your dad had the same problem when he wanted to propose to me." She held up her left hand, showing the pink and white beaded bracelet around her wrist. "He proposed to me with this bracelet. I still love it!" Kira giggled, admiring the bracelet and her wedding ring.

Taylor smiled softly as she stood up. She approached her nephew, reached inside of her shell, and handed him a bag full of coins.

"I think this should be enough." She said.

Collin gasped and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course. I want my favorite nephew and soon-to-be niece to be happy." Taylor replied.

Collin chuckled. "Haha! I'm your only nephew. But thanks."

Tammy was brushing her hair in her room. She was getting ready for her date with Collin. Tammy finished getting ready and waited for Collin to arrive. After a few minutes, Collin arrived and greeted her.

"Ready?" He asked her.

"Yep!" Tammy replied and followed her boyfriend out of the castle.

Collin asked, "You wanna eat at the new restaurant that opened in Koopa Valley?"

Tammy replied to him, "Sure! I bet it's going to be really good!"

After dinner, the couple decided to see a movie. It was a sci fi film, a genre that they both liked. They returned to the castle when the movie ended. They agreed to sit outside and talk for awhile.

"I had a great time tonight." Tammy kissed Collin after saying that.

"Me too." Collin said. He then remembered something. "Oh yeah. I got something for you."

"Oh? What is it?" Tammy asked. She watched as Collin reached into his shell and took something out of it. She then noticed it was a small box. "Collin? W-What's—" Tammy gasped as she watched him open the box, showing her the diamond ring inside of it. "...Are you serious?" She asked, staring at him.

"I wanted to hold off on giving this to you until tonight." Collin smiled softly at his girlfriend. "So, Tammy... will you m—"

"YES!" Tammy squealed and kissed him.

"I didn't even get to finish." Collin laughed. Tammy ignored him and kissed him again.

"I love you so much, Collin." With that, Tammy gave him a hug.

"I love you too, Tammy." Collin smiled and placed the ring on her finger.

Tammy smiled and kissed him again.

The next chapter will be posted hopefully soon! I hope you enjoyed this one!

Here's the next chapter! I'm changing some things in this version :)

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"Izzy? Are you alright?" Izzy, Iggy's older son, heard his girlfriend Hazel call his name. Izzy shook his head and glanced at the pink Yoshi sitting next to him.

"Oh yeah. I'm fine." Izzy smiled at her.

"Are you sure?" Hazel asked him.

Izzy replied, "Well, I was actually thinking about the first time we met."

"Oh right. I thought you guys were kidnapping Princess Stella while she and her family were in the Mushroom Kingdom." Hazel chuckled.

Izzy laughed. "Haha yup! You were so surprised when you realized that she was friends with my family and I."

"At least we all became friends after that and we got together." Hazel said. She kissed his cheek, making the bespectacled Koopa blush.

"Hehe yeah. And now most of us are married with kids or engaged." Izzy replied and kissed her.

"Hey Izzy?" Hazel said.

"Yeah Hazel?" Izzy replied.

"Um..." Hazel nervously played with her long brown hair. "Do you ever think about getting married?"

Izzy responded, "Sometimes... do you?"

Hazel nodded. "I think it would be nice to get married."

"Me too." Izzy replied. Then an idea came to him. "How would you feel if I asked you to marry me?"

Hazel's face started turning red.

"I'd be really happy!" She exclaimed, making Izzy smile.

"What do you need our help with?" Tammy, Izzy's older sister, asked him. Izzy called her, their younger brother Frankie, and their younger sister Sabrina to his room.

"Shh! I don't want anyone else to know!" Izzy whispered.

"Well, what is it?" Sabrina asked.

"Well, it's about Hazel—"

"She's pregnant?!" Frankie asked, interrupting his older brother.

Izzy's face turned a deep red. "W-What!? No!" After calming down, Izzy took a deep breath and spoke again. "No... I wanna propose to her, but I dunno what ring to get her."

"Oh that's great! I know she'll say yes!" Sabrina cheered.

"So can you guys help me?" Izzy asked.

"Yeah!" His siblings answered.

After leaving the castle, the four siblings went to the mall. Once inside, they went to the jewelry store and browsed the selection of engagement rings that were available. Izzy didn't find a ring that he liked, so they went to another store.

"What about this one?" Frankie asked, pointing to a ring with a green gem.

"Nah. Let's keep looking." Izzy said.

They continued to look at the rings for several minutes. Sabrina moved aside to examine more rings. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a different colored gem. She grinned as she looked more closely.

"Hey Izzy!" Sabrina called out to her brother. Izzy and the others walked over to their youngest sibling. "What about this one?" Sabrina gestured toward a ring with a purple, heart-shaped gem.

Izzy grinned. "This is the one!"

"I can't wait for you to ask her!" Sabrina cheered. After purchasing the ring, the four bespectacled Koopas were on their way back to the castle.

"Me neither. She's gonna be excited." Frankie added.

"So when are you gonna propose?" Tammy wondered.

"Oh. Well, I was considering asking her a day or two after your wedding." Izzy replied.

"I wouldn't mind you asking her during the reception." Tammy replied.

Izzy looked at his older sister. "Really? Wouldn't that just take the attention away from you and Collin?"

"Nah. I'm sure he'll be fine with it too." Tammy said.

"Alright..."

Finally, the day of Collin and Tammy's wedding arrived. The couple invited all of their friends and families. Everyone was happy for them! Izzy was happy, but also a little nervous. Collin and Tammy told him again that it was fine for him to propose to Hazel at the reception. He didn't want anyone to see him, so he decided to ask her outside when the reception started.

"Hi Izzy!" He heard Hazel greet him. The sight of her caused him to blush. She donned a purple dress, a white pearl necklace, white bracelets, and her long brown hair was now curly.

"You look amazing." Izzy continued to blush as he spoke.

"Thanks. You look great in your tux too." Hazel replied. He took her hand and they went inside of the castle.

Everyone took their seats and waited for the wedding ceremony to begin. While they waited, Izzy began to get lost in his thoughts. Hazel saw this when she looked at him.

"Izzy?" Hazel whispered. He turned to face her after hearing his name.

"Oh. Sorry, Hazel. I was just daydreaming." Izzy apologized.

"Oh ok." Hazel said.

"Hmm. Something about him seems off today." She thought.

Hazel then heard the music beginning to play and decided to drop the subject for now.

Soon the ceremony was over and the reception began. Everyone was having a great time and congratulated the newlyweds. Izzy and Hazel approached Collin and Tammy.

"Congratulations you guys!" Hazel said.

"Thanks!" Tammy and Collin replied in unison, making each other chuckle. Tammy looked over at her brother and smirked. Izzy rolled his eyes and turned to Hazel.

"Um, Hazel? Can I talk to you for a second?" He asked.

Hazel said, "Oh sure."

Izzy glanced back as they walked away and saw Tammy giving him a thumbs up. To make sure that no one could see them, Izzy led Hazel outside and away from the doors.

Hazel asked him, "So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well... um..." Izzy started, his face reddening. "Uh... I actually have something to give you."

"Oh? What is it?" She asked.

Izzy reached into his shell and took the box out. When he opened it and revealed the ring within, Hazel was stunned.

"W-Wait... are you serious?" Hazel asked, starting to blush also. She blushed even more as she watched as her boyfriend get down on one knee.

"This is why I was acting strange earlier. I wanted to wait another day, but Collin and Tammy said I could ask you today. So... will you marry me, Hazel?" Izzy finally asked. Hazel stared at him for a moment. Then, she smiled.

"Oh, Izzy... yes! Yes, I'll marry you!" Hazel said with tears welling up in her eyes.

Izzy put the ring on her finger, got up, and hugged her. Hazel smiled and kissed him.

"I love you so much!" Hazel said as she hugged Izzy tightly.

"I love you too." Izzy replied and hugged her back.

I'll try to work on the next chapter tomorrow :D

I hope you all like this story! And just like last time, in case anyone is new to my stories, I wanna explain some stuff about Flare :)

So years ago, the artist ALBurning90 (originally KoopalingsFreak8) from deviantart made her own characters called Misdeeds. They kinda looked like Koopas but they had a diamond on their stomachs and had powers (ex my other Misdeed Vendetta having Geokinesis, Flare having Pyrokinesis, etc). Now the Misdeeds are called Mysvarains and have no connection to the Mario world. I've been debating on whether to keep Flare as a Misdeed or turn her into a normal Dragon Koopa, or even making my own type of Dragon Koopa with superpowers. But for this story, she will remain a Misdeed. Now we can get to the story :D

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Luke, Ludwig and Jasmine's eldest child, was in his room playing video games. His girlfriend Flare left the castle a short while ago after spending some time with him. Luke and Flare first met when they were children. Flare used to bully Luke, but stopped and the two became friends. They gradually began to develop feelings for each other as they grew older. After confessing her feelings and learning that Luke felt the same way, Flare and Luke started dating.

As he continued to play his game, Luke started to think about the red-haired Misdeed. The two would sometimes talk about the future, like marriage and starting a family. They loved each other a lot and Luke wanted to be with Flare forever. After pausing his game and thinking it over, he knew that he wanted to marry Flare. Luke then reached inside of his shell and pulled out a bag of coins.

"I'm sure this is enough." Luke smiled, thinking about the perfect ring he'd find.

Luke left the castle the next day to go to the mall. Flare was busy today, so Luke didn't have to worry about making an excuse for not hanging out. Additionally, he didn't tell his friends and family what he planned on doing. Luke decided to wait until later to tell them. He soon arrived at the mall and went to the jewelry store.

After a few minutes of looking at the engagement rings, Luke didn't see one that stuck out to him. He was prepared to check another jewelry store when his eyes landed on a ring with a red ruby. The bespectacled Koopa grinned as he gazed at the ring.

Luke exclaimed, "This is the one!"

After purchasing the ring, Luke hid it inside of his shell. He spent the remainder of the day thinking about the ring. His family noticed that he's been acting strange after returning to the castle. He was zoning out and hardly talked. Everyone shrugged it off and thought that he would go back to his normal self later. When everyone sat down for dinner, Luke continued spacing out and he hardly ate. Ludwig and Jasmine were beginning to worry about their son.

"Luke honey?" Luke shook his head when he heard his mother's voice.

"Yes?" He asked.

Ludwig then asked, "Are you alright?"

"You haven't been acting like yourself all day." Jasmine added.

"Oh... well, I bought something today and I can't stop thinking about it." Luke explained, trying not to blush.

Jackie, Luke's younger sister, spoke up. "What did you buy?"

Now blushing, Luke reached inside of his shell and took out the little black box. Everyone around the table gasped and smiled as he opened it, revealing the ring inside.

"You're finally proposing to Flare?!" His siblings and cousins exclaimed.

"Hehe yeah." Luke responded, his face now completely red.

Jasmine smiled. "We're so happy for you! When are you going to ask her?"

"I'll ask her tomorrow." Luke replied.

The next day came and Luke was going to take Flare out to dinner that night. He checked to make sure the ring remained inside his shell. He was excited to ask her, but also a little nervous. Luke looked at his reflection in the mirror and took a deep breath.

"You can do this, Luke. Everything's gonna be alright." He said to himself.

Luke met Flare at her house later that evening. She kissed his cheek and they walked to the restaurant. As they walked, Flare noticed that Luke was quiet.

"Hey, Luke?" She said.

Luke looked at her. "Yeah, Flare?"

"Are you alright?" Flare asked.

Luke gave her a smile. "Oh, I'm alright."

"Well, alright..." Flare dropped it and continued walking.

They made it to the restaurant and sat at their table. The pair started talking about their day and their plans for tomorrow as they waited for their food to arrive. Once the waiter gave them their food, the two began to eat. As they ate, Luke kept thinking about the ring.

"Alright! I can do this!" Luke thought.

"Hey, Flare. I bought you something when I went to the mall yesterday." Luke said.

"Oh? What is it?" Flare asked, smiling.

Luke then reached inside his shell and took out the box. He opened it and showed her the ring, making them both blush. Flare stared at the ring and then at the bespectacled Koopa in front of her.

"Luke..." Flare said, still staring at the ring.

"Flare Misdeed," Luke began, "I love you so much. We've talked about getting married before and now I know that I'm ready and I hope you're ready too. So, will you marry me?"

The couple blushed even more once Luke finished. Flare smiled at him, tears forming in her eyes.

"Luke... yes!" She finally replied.

Luke put the ring on her finger and smiled. "I love you."

Flare kissed his cheek. "I love you too. I can't wait for us to be married!"

"Me neither." Luke said and kissed her again.

That's it for now! Like I said, for now, Flare and my other Misdeed fan characters will stay Misdeeds unless I decide to make them normal Dragon Koopas or Dragon Koopas with superpowers similar to the Misdeeds. If I do, I'll definitely make a fanfic about Bowser and the others meeting them :D

Anyways, I hope you all have a great day today!

Hi! It's Sunday and I got some time to write! I was planning on writing about another FC x FC pairing, but I thought about these two. But before you read this, I need to say something really quick.

Yes, this is a Mario x Pauline story, and yes I kinda ship it. But I prefer Mario x Peach. Anyways, I hope you all like this story!

"Welcome back, bro!" Luigi greeted his older brother as he entered their house.

Mario returned to the Mushroom Kingdom from visiting New Donk City. This time however, it took him much longer to get back home. Mario sat next to his younger brother on the couch and looked at the tv.

"What took you so long?" Luigi questioned. "Usually you're back much earlier after going on a date with Pauline."

Mario smiled after hearing his girlfriend's name. He and Pauline dated years ago, but broke up and chose to just be friends. When he arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario began to develop feelings for Princess Peach, the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. One day, Bowser, the king of Darkland, kidnapped the princess and tried to force her to marry him. After travelling across the globe, Mario finally rescued Peach.

Mario and Bowser both tried to propose to Peach while on the moon. Feeling overwhelmed and tired from getting kidnapped, Peach rejected both of them. After that, Mario and Peach decided to remain friends and Mario began to hang out with Pauline more. After awhile, Mario and Pauline decided to date again. They've now been together for a year and they're still very happy together.

Mario looked at his brother. "Well, I sat at the park to think."

"Oh? About what?" Luigi asked.

Mario turned to face his brother. "Well, I've actually been thinking about Pauline."

Luigi chuckled. "You're always thinking about her."

"I know." Mario chuckled also. "But... this time, it was different."

"Really? How?"

Mario took a deep breath. "I've been thinking... about asking Pauline to marry me."

Luigi gasped loudly. "A-Are you serious?" Once he saw Mario nod, Luigi smiled. "That's great, Mario! I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks, Weeg! Hm... now I just need to find a ring for her."

"Hey, I know!" Luigi spoke up. "Why don't we go to the jewelry store tomorrow? I'm sure with my help, we'll be able to find a great ring for Pauline."

Mario thought it over. Then, he grinned. "You're right, bro! That's a great idea!"

The next day, Mario and Luigi made their way to a jewelry store in the Mushroom Kingdom after eating breakfast. When they went inside, the brothers walked over to the many different rings. Mario gasped as he looked around. All of the rings were beautiful. Some had red gems, others had purple gems, and there were even gems in different shapes like hearts or stars.

"Wow... they're all perfect! How am I gonna find one?" Mario wondered.

Luigi gave him a smile. "Don't worry. I'm sure one will stick out."

After that, the brother began looking. Luigi suggested a diamond ring. It was very pretty, but Mario shook his head and continued looking around. He saw one with a green gem, a pink heart-shaped ring, and even a ring with a mushroom-shaped gem.

Mario thought to himself, "This is tougher than I thought..."

Before he turned to his brother and tell him they should check another store, Mario saw something out of the corner of his eye.

"Hm?" Mario turned around and walked over to the rings with different shaped gems. In between a red heart-shaped ring and a yellow star-shaped ring, Mario saw a ring shaped like a Power Moon. Mario softly gasped. Then, he smiled.

He called his brother over and pointed to the ring. As Luigi got a closer look, he smiled.

"So, this is the one?" He asked.

Mario nodded. "Yep! It's perfect!"

Mario and Luigi walked out of the jewelry store and headed back to their home. Mario smiled to himself, feeling the box in his pocket.

"So, when do you plan on asking her?" Luigi asked as they walked.

"Well, I'm going back to New Donk City tomorrow, so probably then." Mario replied.

As they walked, Mario's smile fell. Luigi noticed this and stopped in his tracks.

"Mario? What's the matter?" asked Luigi, furrowing his brow.

"I..." Mario stared at the ground. "What if... what if she says no?"

"She won't. I know she won't." Luigi replied.

"Still... you know what happened on the moon with Peach. What if—"

"Mario." Luigi put his hands on his brother's shoulders. "Listen to me. What happened on the moon is the past. Pauline will accept your proposal. She loves you. You know that."

Mario stared at his brother for a moment. Then, he slowly smiled. "Yeah. You're right, Luigi."

The next day, Mario and Pauline spent the afternoon in New Donk City walking through the park, resting on the bench, and talking to a few New Donkers that were out that day. Mario and Pauline were having a great time, but Mario's mind continued to think about the small box in his pocket.

"I hope you're right, Luigi..." Mario thought to himself.

"Mario?" Mario blinked and looked up at Pauline after hearing his name.

"Y-Yes, Pauline?" He replied.

"Are you feeling alright? You don't normally space out." She asked.

Mario smiled. "Yeah. I was just thinking about all the fun that we had today."

Pauline returned the smile. "Yeah! Today was really fun!" Pauline looked at her watch. "Oh! It's almost dinnertime. Let's head to a restaurant."

Mario's stomach growled, making him blush and Pauline giggle. Mario then followed her to the restaurant.

After dinner, Mario and Pauline stood on the top of New Donk City Hall to watch the sunset. The wind brushed gently through Pauline's long brown hair as she looked out over her beautiful city. She let out a content sigh. New Donk City was an amazing place, but it always looked much more gorgeous in the evening. She smiled at she looked up at the sky.

"I never get tired of this place." Pauline said. "It's so beautiful!"

"It really is." Mario blushed. "But it doesn't compare to your beauty."

Pauline's cheeks turned pink and she giggled. She gave Mario a kiss, making them both blush even more. The two stood in silence again as they watched the sunset. After a moment, Mario spoke up.

"Hey, Pauline?"

Pauline looked at him. "Yeah, Mario?"

Mario took a deep breath. "I have something to ask you."

"Really? What is it?" She replied.

Pauline's eyes widened as she watched Mario get down on one knee. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the little black box. When he opened it, Pauline gasped, seeing the ring with a Power Moon-shaped gem on it.

"Oh my gosh..." Pauline whispered.

"Pauline... I love you so much and I..." Mario felt his hand trembling, but continued. "...I want us to stay together forever. Will... will you marry me, Polly?"

Pauline stared at her boyfriend in shock. Mario's heart pounded in his chest, nervously waiting for her answer. A minute passed and Pauline smiled, tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh, Mario... yes! I'd be happy to marry you!" Pauline finally said.

Mario stared at her in shock for a moment. Then, he grinned. He placed the ring on her finger and slowly stood up. Before he could do anything, Pauline leaned down and gave him a kiss. Mario blushed as he kissed her back.

"I love you, Mario. I can't wait to be your wife!" Pauline smiled at him.

"I love you too, Pauline." Mario chuckled. "And I can't wait to be your husband."

The couple kissed once more and then turned to look at the beautiful sunset again, excited for their future together.

That's it for now! The next chapter will be about two of my fan characters, but it'll definitely be VERY different from the last version. If I get an idea for it soon, that chapter will be posted this week! I hope you all have a great day today :D

Hi guys! I got some time to write! This next couple will be two fan characters! Now, this version will be VERY different from the original, since I'm making changes to my AU. I hope you all enjoy this one!

Ludwig sat in the ballroom in front of his piano, playing a new song that he finished writing the day before. He closed his eyes and let out a content sigh. The door to the ballroom opened, making him open his eyes. He turned towards the door and smiled when he saw who was walking inside. His oldest daughter Jackie, now nineteen years old, walked over to Ludwig, carrying a bouquet of roses. Ludwig stopped playing for a moment and smiled at her.

"So, I take it Matt gave you those?" He asked.

Jackie nodded and pushed a strand of blue hair out of her face. "Yeah. We went out for lunch a few minutes ago." She smiled as she looked at the flowers in her hand. "He didn't have to get me these."

Ludwig chuckled. "Matt is a perfect gentleman, huh?"

Jackie giggled. "Yes! He's amazing!" She played a few keys on the piano and looked at Ludwig. "I guess your new song is finished. It sounds beautiful."

"Thank you, Princess. I bet it'd sound even better if you play your violin." Ludwig replied.

Jackie chuckled. "Maybe we can play together later." She looked at the roses again. "Well, I guess I should find a vase to put these in."

Ludwig nodded. Once Jackie left the ballroom, he returned to playing his song. It's been a year since his hybrid daughter met Matt Smika, a famous actor and the son of a wealthy businessman. Matt joined his father to the castle for a meeting with Ludwig about a business deal. Jackie entered the room wanting to quickly talk to Ludwig, but gasped in amazement when she saw her favorite actor in the room also. Ludwig did his best to hold back his laugh when he saw Jackie trying not to squeal with delight at the sight of Matt.

After that meeting, Jackie and Matt became friends and finally started dating. They've been together for a year now and were very happy together. Jackie always seemed happier after spending time with Matt, which made Ludwig smile. He's glad that his daughter found a great guy. After thinking that, Ludwig played the final note and stood from his seat.

Two weeks later, Matt and Jackie went out to dinner with Ludwig and Jasmine. The four of them were having a nice time that evening, but Ludwig noticed something about Matt. He wasn't sure why, but it seemed like there was something on his mind. Ludwig chose to ignore it for the moment and took another bite of his steak. Two minutes later, Jackie stood from her chair.

"I'll be right back." She said. As Jackie walked toward the bathroom, Matt sighed.

"Are you alright, Matt? You don't seem like yourself." Jasmine asked him. Ludwig nodded. So she noticed it too.

"Actually," Matt whispered. "I need your help with something."

Ludwig and Jasmine watched as Matt looked around. He then pulled out his phone and opened an app. When he showed them his phone screen, Ludwig and Jasmine gasped in unison.

"Oh my gosh!" Jasmine covered her mouth, noticing that she was a little loud. A few Koopas looked over at them, but returned to their food and conversations.

"So that's why you've been acting different tonight." Ludwig said.

Matt nodded and whispered, "I wanna ask Jackie to marry me, but I can't seem to decide on what ring to get."

Jasmine took the phone and scrolled through the many different engagement rings. After a minute, she smiled.

"I think this one is perfect!" Jasmine handed the phone back to Matt.

Matt looked at the ring and smiled also. "Yes! This is it! Thank you so much!"

Matt then bought the ring and put his phone away. Just in time too, because Jackie returned and sat down next to him.

"So, did you guys find something interesting to talk about while I was gone?" She laughed.

Jasmine playfully smirked. "You could say that."

Weeks have passed and the ring finally arrived. Since he had the ring, Matt decided that he would ask Jackie tonight. Smiling, he put the ring inside of his shell and made his way to the castle. He and Jackie were going to spend time together today and he couldn't wait to see her reaction. After a few minutes, he made it to the castle and the guards let him inside. He immediately saw Jackie admiring the roses that he gave her before.

Matt walked over to her and gave Jackie a kiss on her cheek. "I thought you'd be in your room."

Jackie smiled. "I wanted to meet you."

After sharing a kiss, Jackie and Matt made their way to the living room to watch a movie.

"Today was really great. I had fun." Jackie said as she and Matt walked out of the castle.

Matt smiled softly at her. "So did I."

The couple looked up at the sky, seeing so many stars out tonight. This was the perfect moment! Matt turned to Jackie and gave her another smile.

"Jacqueline?" Jackie looked at him, a little confused that he said her whole name.

Jackie chuckled. "Yes, Matthew?"

Matt held her hand and got down on his knee, making Jackie gasp. She watched as Matt pulled a black box out of his shell. When he opened it, Jackie saw a ring with a light blue gem inside.

"Matt..." Jackie whispered.

"Jackie, I've wanted to ask you this for weeks now. It finally arrived today, so... will you marry me?"

Matt smiled as he saw Jackie smiling, tears forming in her eyes. She nodded as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!" Jackie grinned.

Matt put the ring on her finger and stood up. He and Jackie kissed, but quickly pulled away when they heard clapping. They looked towards the front doors of the castle and saw the two guards clapping as they watched them.

"Congratulations, Princess!" One of the guards said.

Matt blushed. "I forgot they were out here..."

"It's fine." Jackie chuckled. She looked at the ring and smiled. "But I'm so happy!"

"Me too."

After sharing another kiss, Jackie said goodbye to Matt and watched him walk away, heading back home.

I'll write again soon!

I got time to write today! I hope you like this version!

Roy and Kacey's oldest child and only son, Kevin, was sitting on a bench with his girlfriend Maya. Kevin had a crush on her when they were kids and finally confessed when they were in middle school. Since then, they've been together and were very happy. Now adults, their relationship has gotten serious and they've been thinking about it often. Kevin turned to face the Koopa beside him. Maya smiled as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"You're so sweet, Kevin!" Maya said and kissed him, making the hybrid blush. "Haha! You're so adorable when you blush."

Kevin's face reddened more as Maya laughed. "Hahaha! So are you!"

Maya sighed happily as she hugged him. "I wanna be with you forever."

"Me too." Kevin ran his fingers through her black hair, which was down today instead of in her usual ponytail. "Heh, maybe we'll even be married someday."

The couple blushed after realizing what he just said.

"Um, Kevin? Do you... do you want to be married in the future?" Maya asked him after a moment of silence.

Kevin gave her a smile. "Yeah."

"Oh. Well, I'd love to be your wife one day." Maya replied, making them both blush again.

"I'd be happy to be your husband." Kevin said and kissed her.

It had been a week since Kevin and Maya's conversation. Kevin thought about asking Maya to marry him before, but he was really nervous. Also, he didn't have a ring to give her yet. He sighed as he made his way through the castle's corridors.

"What should I do?" Kevin muttered to himself. He was lost in his thoughts and wasn't paying attention when he bumped into someone. When he looked up, he saw that he bumped into Roy, with Kacey standing next to him.

"Oh. Sorry, dad. I wasn't paying attention." Kevin apologized.

"Are you alright, sweetie?" Kacey asked him.

Kevin replied, "I'm fine, Mom. I just got something on my mind."

"What is it?" Roy asked.

Kevin's face began to turn pink. "Um, well... I've been thinking about... asking Maya to marry me."

Kacey gasped and squealed. "Oh that's wonderful! But, are you sure you're ready for that?"

After thinking for a moment, Kevin smiled. "Yeah. I want Maya to be my wife."

Kevin decided to take Maya out on a date the following day. He took her out to dinner at one of her favorite restaurants in Neo Bowser City. After they ate and returned to Koopa Town, Maya asked Kevin to watch the sunset with her. The couple sat down on a nearby bench in a park and looked up at the sky.

"I had a great time, Kevin." Maya said, smiling at him.

Kevin smiled back and replied, "I'm glad you did. I did too."

Maya kissed him and held his hand. As they looked at the sky, Kevin thought to himself.

"I should ask her now."

"Hey, Maya?" Maya looked over at him.

"Yeah, honey?" She asked.

"Um, well," Kevin said, "I wanna tell you something."

"Oh?" Maya replied.

Kevin smiled softly. "Maya, I love you so much."

"I love you too." Maya returned his smile.

Kevin then continued. "I've wanted to ask you this before, but I was really nervous. I know that I don't have a ring yet, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you and make you as happy as you make me. So, Maya... will you marry me?"

Once Kevin finished, both of their faces turned a deep shade of red. Maya gazed at the human/Koopa hybrid next to her. She then hugged him tightly, tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh, Kevin! Yes! I will marry you!" Maya cried as she continued to hug and kiss Kevin.

Kevin hugged her back and kissed her forehead.

Maya looked up at Kevin and said, "I love you so much."

Kevin kissed her and wiped away her tears, saying, "I love you too."

If I got time to write tomorrow, then I'll work on the next chapter!

Hiya! I'm finally able to write! Now like I said before, Manyface-Blake and I aren't friends anymore, but I'm keeping all of the pairings that I originally planned to write about back in 2013. And just like in the last version, in this story about them, Megan isn't adopted by Ludwig. This is an alternate universe :) I hope you all enjoy this!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs! Michael, Brittney, William, Alice, Cheryl, Bob, and Alvin belong to Manyface-Blake

"Michael? Are you alright?" Michael heard a voice say. His older cousin Koopalani and younger sister were standing in front of him when he looked up.

"Oh... yeah. I'm fine." He answered.

Lani looked at him, concerned. "Are you sure about that?"

She leaped from her ball and took a seat beside him. Brittney sat on the other side. With a sigh, Michael gazed at the floor.

"I'm just worried about Megan." Michael said. "Have you guys noticed that she's been acting kinda strange lately?"

"Oh yeah." Brittney moved a strand of her pink hair out of her face. "She has been feeling a little sick."

Lani added, "And she's been eating weird foods and feeling moody too."

After a few seconds, the three of them realized what was wrong, their eyes widening."

"Oh my gosh!"

"Megan's pregnant!?" Cheryl, one of Michael's younger sisters, cried out.

"I-I don't know! That's what it sounds like!" Michael replied.

It was the evening and Michael was in the game room with his siblings and cousins.

Tammy spoke up and asked, "Michael, didn't you two stay in a hotel a month ago?"

Michael nodded. "Yeah. Justin was trying to kidnap her and I stopped him. It was really late and we decided to stay in the hotel for the night."

"So, Mikey, did you and Megan... y'know? While you were there?" Frankie asked.

"I don't really rem—" Michael stopped his statement when his memory of that night came back. "Oh no... she really is pregnant!"

"I can't believe you actually knocked her up!" The others rolled their eyes or glared at William as he laughed.

Alice walked over to Michael and asked, "Have you talked to Megan about this?"

"Not yet. It's getting late, so I guess I'll talk to her tomorrow." Michael replied.

Michael and Megan decided to hang out the next day. Megan suggested that they take a walk around the park and Michael agreed. The couple then sat down on a nearby bench to rest for a few minutes. Michael, remembering his conversation with his family the night before, faced his girlfriend.

"Megan—"

Megan cut him off. "Michael, I have to tell you something." Megan nervously played with her long, dark pink hair. "Please don't get upset."

Michael gave her a smile. "Megan, I could never be mad at you."

Megan then took a deep breath.

"Michael, I took a pregnancy test yesterday and... it came back positive."

He replied, "Oh, that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about."

Megan softly gasped. "R-Really?"

"Yeah. I had a feeling you were pregnant." Michael said. Megan then looked at the ground and sighed.

"So, what should we do?" She asked.

Michael answered, "We have to tell our parents." Megan looked at him and nodded.

"Alright. Let's tell them now."

Michael smiled. After standing up, the two seventeen-year-olds left the park.

Months had passed since the two announced Megan's pregnancy to everyone. Everyone was really happy and excited for them! One day, Megan laid the egg and a few days later, their daughter hatched out of it. Michael and Megan decided to name her Emma. Everyone loved her and was happy that she was finally here!

A week later, Megan was asleep on Michael's bed while Michael was putting Emma in her crib after putting her to sleep. He lied down next to Megan and smiled. He leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"Y'know, I think Meg and I should get married someday." He thought to himself.

"Are you serious?!" Alvin, Michael's youngest brother, exclaimed.

"You're gonna ask Megan to marry you?" Bob asked.

"Yeah. I want us to be married." Michael replied, his face turning pink.

Koopalani squealed and hugged Michael tightly. "I'm soooo happy for you!"

"Lani, you're crushing me..." Michael said.

"Haha, sorry!" Lani giggled.

Once Lani let him go, Tammy spoke up. "Mike, are you sure about this? I mean, you two are only seventeen."

"We don't have to get married right now. Maybe in a few years, but I wanna ask her now." He explained.

"When are you gonna ask her?" Izzy asked.

Michael replied, "As soon as I buy a ring."

The following day, Michael left the castle to look for a ring. He went to a few stores, but he didn't really like the rings that were available there. He finally went to one more store and found an engagement ring with a pink jewel.

"Yes! This is it!" Michael said. After buying the ring, Michael left the store.

"Megan's going to love this!"

"Hi Michael!" Megan greeted her boyfriend and let him inside of her house. Emma woke up and Megan had finished feeding her. Megan gave Michael a kiss and Emma looked up at him, smiling.

"Megan, I got something for you." Michael said.

"Oh? What is it?" Megan asked.

"This." Michael took out a heart-shaped box and opened it, showing her the ring. Megan gasped and her face turned red.

"Michael..." She whispered.

"Megan, I love you and Emma so much." Michael began. "I want us to stay together for a long time. We don't have to right now, but I wanna marry you someday. So... will you marry me, Megan?" Michael asked her, their faces completely red now.

Megan stared at him for a second. Then, she smiled.

"Yes! Yes, I will!" Megan exclaimed, tears running down her cheeks. Michael smiled and put the ring on her finger.

Megan kissed him again and said, "I love you so much!"

Michael blushed. "I love you too."

I'll try to post the next chapter soon! Hopefully I'll have time to write next week :)

I'm back with another chapter! I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

Four years have passed since Rogan and his girlfriend Karrisa had their son Collin. They found out Karrisa was pregnant when they were seventeen, and nine months later, Collin was born. The couple have been dating since they were fifteen and they're still happy. Now twenty-one, Rogan and Karrisa have their own house to raise their son in. The two went to their room one night after putting their son to bed.

"I'm so happy we have him." Karrisa said as she sat on their bed.

"Me too." Karrisa blushed when Rogan sat beside her and planted a kiss on her cheek.

After a moment of silence, Rogan spoke again. "Hey, Karrisa?"

"Yeah?" Karrisa replied.

Rogan removed his black leather jacket and black sunglasses, setting the jacket in front of him and his sunglasses on the nightstand. "Do you ever think about us... getting married?"

Karrisa blushed once more. She played with a strand of her long brown hair. "Oh... sometimes. Why?"

Rogan smiled. "Oh, I was just curious."

"Well, alright." After giving her boyfriend a hug, the two got ready for bed.

The following day, Rogan and Karrisa took Collin to the castle to play with Tammy, Iggy and Tiana's daughter. While Karrisa was busy watching the children play, Rogan turned to his friend.

"Hey Tia? Can I talk to you for a second?" He asked.

"Oh ok." Tiana replied and followed Rogan to another room. "Is everything alright?"

"Well..." Rogan scratched the back of his head. "I wanna buy Karrisa an engagement ring, but—"

"Oh my gosh! Are you serious!?" Tiana exclaimed.

"Shh! I don't want her to know about it." Rogan whispered.

Tiana giggled. "Sorry, I'm excited now!"

"So, do you think you can help me find one?" Rogan asked her.

Tiana smiled and replied, "Sure! We can look tomorrow."

One evening, Rogan and Karrisa asked Iggy and Tiana to watch Collin while they went out. Before the couple left, Tiana gave Rogan a thumbs up while Karrisa was distracted. Iggy noticed this and looked at his wife in confusion.

"Huh? What's going on?" He asked.

"Oh, I'll explain later, sweetie." Tiana said, giving him a smile.

Karrisa and Rogan went out to eat that evening. They talked about their day while they waited for their food and drinks to arrive. A few minutes later, they got their drinks and they waited for their food.

Rogan began to think. "Hmm. Should I ask her now?"

"Karrisa?" Rogan said.

Karrisa smiled at him. "Yes?"

"I..." Before he could say anything further, the waiter arrived with their food.

"Thank you!" Karrisa said to the waiter as he left. She looked back at Rogan. "What were you about to say, honey?"

"Yeah. I'll ask her now." Rogan inhaled deeply.

"Karrisa, before we eat, I wanna give you something." said Rogan.

"Really? What is it?" She asked.

Rogan reached into his shell and took out the small pink box.

Karrisa's eyes widened. "Is this what I think it is?"

"I've been thinking about asking you this for some time now. I love you so much Karrisa, and I want you to be my wife. Will you marry me?" Rogan asked, making their faces turn red.

"Rogan... yes! I will marry you!" Karrisa exclaimed.

After Rogan placed the ring on her finger, Karrisa gave him a kiss.

Karrisa smiled at him. "I love you so much."

Rogan replied, "I love you too."

"Let's eat so we can leave and tell everyone!" Karrisa replied.

"Haha! Alright." After saying that, Rogan and Karrisa began to eat their dinner.

I'll write the next chapter soon!

Hi! Here's the next chapter! Also, like I said when I wrote about Luke x Flare, for this story, their babies will stay as Misdeeds. If I make my own type of Koopa in the future, then they'll change.

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"The girls are finally asleep." Wendell, Ray's boyfriend, said as they gazed at the two baby Misdeeds sleeping in their cribs.

Roy's daughter sighed. "Man, they wouldn't stop crying..."

Wendell chuckled. "Let's go, babe."

After leaving the nursery, the two went to Ray's room and sat on her bed.

"Y'know, I'm glad we adopted Aurora and Rachelle." Wendell smiled.

Ray replied, "Yeah. Me too."

The couple stayed quiet until a thought came to Wendell.

"Hey, Ray? Do you ever think about getting married in the future?"

A blush began to appear on Ray's face. "M-Married? Um... well, I guess I've thought about it once or twice."

"Well, I think it'd be cool if you were my wife. I bet you'd look beautiful in a wedding dress." Wendell smiled again, his face getting hot.

"Ugh a dress? You know I hate wearing dresses!" Ray whined, making her boyfriend laugh.

"Haha! I know. But I really do mean it!" Wendell said.

"Well, I think you'd be a cool husband." Ray smirked and kissed him.

Two weeks later, Ray took Rachelle and Aurora out to visit her cousins in the Magma Kingdom. Wendell told her that he was going to stay in Darkland this time. Ray was a little confused, but decided to brush it off.

"Maybe he just wants to rest for a bit." Ray said to herself as she got closer to the castle in the Magma Kingdom.

"You wanted to talk to us, Wendell?" Kacey asked. She and Roy were sitting next to each other on the couch while Wendell sat on the one across from them.

"Yeah. It's about Ray." Wendell replied.

"Hm?" Roy looked at him.

"Is everything alright?" Kacey asked.

Wendell then said, "Well, I've been thinking it over and... I wanna ask her to marry me." Wendell's cheeks slightly turned pink.

Roy and Kacey looked at him, surprised.

Kacey cheered. "Oh, that's wonderful!"

"But, I kinda need help finding a ring to get her." Wendell replied as he rubbed the back of his head.

Roy said, "Well, Ray doesn't really care about rings or any type of jewelry."

"Hmm. I think I can help you look for one." Kacey smiled at Wendell.

Wendell grinned. "Really? Thanks!"

Later on, Kacey and Wendell were walking back to the castle. With Kacey's help, Wendell found a ring for Ray. She glanced over at the blue shelled Koopa next to her and noticed that he was shaking a little.

"Are you nervous?" She asked him.

"Huh? N-No, of course not!" Wendell lied.

Kacey put a hand on his arm, gave him a small smile, and said, "It's alright. Ray loves you a lot. I'm sure she'll be happy when you ask her."

Wendell sighed. "You're right. I think she and the girls should be back by now."

As soon as they entered the castle, Wendell went to find Ray. He found her in the nursery, placing Aurora and Rachelle in their crib. Wendel smiled as he walked inside.

"How was your day?" He asked his girlfriend as he looked down at their sleeping adopted daughters.

"It was cool I guess." Ray replied. "The girls started crying a lot at one point though."

The two Koopas left the nursery and decided to rest in Ray's room.

Ray looked at Wendell and asked him, "So, what did you do today?"

Wendell answered, "I actually got your mom to help me with something."

"Huh? Help with what?" Ray wondered.

Ray watched as Wendell reached inside of his shell. He removed and opened a tiny box. Ray stared at what was within and gasped. She noticed a tiny pink diamond set into a black ring band.

"Dude... what is this?" Ray asked, her face turning red.

Wendell replied, also blushing, "Your mom helped me find a good engagement ring for you." He gave her a smile. "I love you and the girls so much, Raven. I care about you a lot and I want us to stay together for a very long time. So... will you marry me, Ray?"

Ray and Wendell blushed even more. She felt a tear rolling down her cheek as she looked at him. Ray quickly took off her black sunglasses and wiped away her tears.

"Ugh, I hate crying!" Ray sighed. "But... yes, Wendell. I will marry you." Ray finally said.

Smirking, Wendell took her hand and placed the ring on Ray's finger. He then pulled her in for a hug. Ray hugged him back and chuckled.

"I love you so much, Ray." He whispered.

"I love you too, Wendell." Ray replied and gave him a kiss.

There might be one or two more chapters left. Haven't decided yet.

Hi guys! I was going to write two more chapters, but I changed my mind. So, this will be the final chapter. I hope you all like it :)

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"I still can't believe we're going to be parents!" Ludwig's adopted daughter, Megan, told her boyfriend Micah.

The two found out that Megan was pregnant a month ago. Their parents were a little upset, but they were going to support their kids. At the moment, the couple was resting in Megan's room. Micah smiled as he looked at her.

"Me neither, but I'm really happy." He said. Megan returned his smile.

Megan replied, "Me too! I wonder if the baby will be a boy or a girl."

"I'm fine with either." Micah smiled again.

Megan sighed and gave Micah a hug. "Y'know, I really hope we stay together."

"Oh I'm sure we will, honey." Micah replied. The two were silent after that. Then, Megan spoke up.

"Well... I'd love to be married someday."

Both of them began to blush.

"Oh really?" Micah wondered. Megan nodded. Micah smiled and kissed her. "I'd love for us to get married one day."

"Really?" asked Megan.

Micah grinned. "Yep! I think you'd be a great wife and mother."

Megan blushed after hearing that.

One day, Micah was in his room watching tv. A week had passed since since Megan mentioned marriage to him and he's been thinking about it ever since. He really loved Megan and he wanted to be with her forever. Ignoring the tv, Micah began to think.

"I really want us to stay together. Maybe... maybe we should get married."

After giving it some more thought, Micah made up his mind a week later. He was going to propose to Megan.

"Hmm. Do I have enough coins to buy a ring?" He wondered.

Micah smiled to himself after checking the amount of coins that he had.

"Yes! Now I can go to the store!" Micah then left his room.

"Now, which ring would Megan like?" Micah whispered. He arrived at the mall and was currently in one of the jewelry stores.

Micah began to look at the engagement rings that were near him. They were nice, but he didn't think they were good enough. The dark skinned Koopa walked around and looked at some more rings.

Micah said to himself, "These are really nice, but I should keep looking."

As he looked around, his eyes landed on an engagement ring with a pink gemstone.

"Huh?" Micah walked over to it to get a better look. "Hey! This is perfect for her!"

Micah grinned and prepared to purchase the ring.

Megan was sitting in the ballroom listening to Ludwig play the piano. Micah was on his way to the castle to see her, so she decided to wait for him in the ballroom. When Ludwig finished playing his song, Megan clapped.

"I always enjoy listening to you play, Dad!" Megan said.

Ludwig replied, "Thank you, sweetheart."

The sound of the door opening caused them to turn around.

"Hi." Micah greeted.

"Micah! You're here!" Megan said as she walked over to him and gave her boyfriend a hug. "We'll see you later, Dad!"

Megan and Micah then left the ballroom.

Micah and Megan were in Megan's room talking after finishing a movie. Smiling, Megan gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you." She said.

Micah replied, blushing, "I love you too." Then, he remembered the jewelry that he brought with him. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot to give you this."

"Give me what?" Megan asked.

Micah reached into his shell and grabbed the small black box.

"Micah..." Megan's eyes widened as he opened it, revealing the ring. "Micah... is this what I think it is?"

"Yes, it is. Megan, I love you so much." Micah began, making them both blush.

Megan replied, "I love you too."

"I've given it some thought, and I wanna be with you for a very long time. Will you marry me, Megan?" Micah finally asked.

"Yes! Yes I will!" Megan exclaimed, tears forming in her eyes.

Smiling, Micah placed the ring on Megan's finger. Megan then gave him a kiss.

"I'm so happy!" Megan cheered. "I can't wait for us to get married!"

"Hehe. Me neither." Micah replied and kissed her cheek.

"Oh! We gotta tell everyone the good news!" Megan said, grabbing Micah's hand and bolting out of the room.

"Ok Megan! But can you slow down first?" Micah asked her.

And that's it! I was planning on writing about Waluigi x Rosalina, but I couldn't think of anything. Now that this is finished, I'm gonna continue outlining my next fanfic! Also, in August, I'll be posting my new short stories for Koopa Week this year! I hope you all will enjoy those stories :D

I hope you all have a great Friday! :D
