Let's Try This Again, Shall we? (A SPM Swap AU)

Hold Up, Hold Up, Have we Heard This Before?

Okay, Hold up, hold up, HOLD UP! Is it just me, or does this story sound. . . familiar.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but yep... definitely sounds familiar.

So, since you already know the story, why don't we switch the perspective up a little?

Yeah, Yeah! Let's switch it up! We'll get back to the main story in a minute, but who said I have to stick to the heroes or the main characters!

Let's pass the mic over to-

The sun shone through my large bedroom blinds. I could hear the birds softly chirping outside my window, singing as they did every morning, greeting the morning sun. I slowly sat up and stretched my arms, yawning. I pulled the covers off and opened the window. A soft, cool morning breeze flowed through, and I smiled at what a beautiful day it was outside. The sun was rising over the beautiful desert mountains. The clouds, a bright pink color. The lines of golden sunlight streaming through them gave me a feeling, telling me that everything was alright.

I softly smiled and leaned my head out the window, shutting my eyes and taking the morning in. "Good morning world. Today is going to be great!" I breathed, feeling the sun on my face.

I took a step back, shut the window, then slowly turned to my dresser and pulled out my clothes. I grabbed my crown and my formal wear and went to the bathroom to change.

Once I finished, I took a look in the full-body mirror which I had in my personal bathroom. I straightened my crown, only for it to fall crooked again. I've pretty much given up on trying to keep it straight, so I allowed it. "Today is going to be great..." I reminded myself, smiling at my reflection. "Today is going to be different."

Of course, I said this every day, but with every new day came a new opportunity for something new-

"̶͎̠̬̃́͐͝͝L̸̨͓͚̖͔͖̙̽̌͋u̸̫̭̺̥͘í̶̭̮͈͉̥̂͗ͅg̸̹̗͈͇̮̈́̔̈͘͜ͅī̵̡͚̎͝...̷͈̮̋͑̔̊͆.̷̛̼̗̼́̈̈́͝"̸̘̬̘̦̉̈͆̄̚ͅ

I paused all of a sudden, and it was as if the warm feeling was gone. I slowly raised an eyebrow, looking around myself.

"̴̢͔͒̓̌Ļ̵̥͍̓̎u̶͇̰̱̔͌i̵̱̽̌̂g̷̭͛͝͝i̶̖̘͂...̵͎͛̀̊.̵̡̰̭̎͗͛"̸̫̠̇̑

"Hello?" I asked. Only, no one was there, obviously. I sighed and shrugged, looking back at the mirror. "Strange..."

I suddenly felt... Oddly uncomfortable. As if I wasn't alone. But that's silly because I was ALWAYS alone. Heh... it was almost sad how much time I spent alone. I really wished I had a roommate. Like how Peach and Daisy were roommates. It seemed so fun. I'd move in with Mario, but someone needs to take care of Sarasaland and I didn't think he'd be cool with leaving the Mushroom Kingdom.

"̷L̶u̷i̸g̸i̸...̸.̴"̵

I suddenly jumped at the noise again, frantically looking around. "Hello? Anybody here?" I asked again.

"̵L̵u̵i̴-̸ ̷L̸u̷i̷g̷i̴!̸ ̶C̵a̴n̷ ̴y̸o̸u̶ ̶h̸e̸-̷ ̴L̴u̶i̸g̴i̴ ̴c̴a̴n̸ ̶y̷o̷u̷-̵ ̸M̷e̴-̸M̷e̶-̶h̸e̴a̵r̶ ̴M̵e̶?̷"̴

I could definitely tell It was a voice, but it seemed... Broken. It was like someone was playing a broken record. The voice was echoing and... glitching? I jumped and stumbled backward, accidentally tripping and falling into my counter, knocking over a wall of royal certificates and awards, making a huge mess.
