Later that evening, the small group walked up to a field of glowing Fire Flowers surrounding a large tree. Peach and Toad set up camp while Mario sits forlornly with a sigh. Rosy's eyes glazed over as she stood facing the flowers. A vision of her and the Kong Army were in cages, being lowered into a pit of lava. The vision cleared up as Peach's voice caught her attention.
"Thinking about your brother?"
Rosy turns to see Mario looking down at his hands, "We've never been apart this long." Peach gives him a reassuring smile as Toad gets his cooking gear out, "Don't worry. We're going to save him." Peach spoke, then walked over to the flowers.
Peach touches a Fire Flower and is covered in undamaging flames, merely turning her pink dress white and red. She produces a fireball and lights the campfire with it. Rosy walks up to Peach and crosses her arms, "You don't seem like you're from here."
"I don't know where I'm from."
Mario perked up at this clarification, "Really?" Peach nods her head, "Yep. My earliest memory is arriving." She remembers meeting the Toads as a baby, "I was so lucky they found me. They took me in. Raised me like one of their own, and... when I was ready... They made me their princess."
"Hey, maybe you're from our world." Mario stood up and gestured to both him and Rosy.
"Your world, Mario. I am the only one who's from here." Rosy pondered to herself. Peach glances up at the sky, "There's a huge universe out there... with a lot of galaxies." On that last bit, she glances at Rosy, still having suspicion about her, "She reminds me of Rosalina..." Mario and Peach look at the sky as Toad plays a flute.
Meanwhile, in Bowser's castle, Luigi is led in front of Bowser's throne. Snifit pushes Luigi forward, "We found him in the Dark Lands." Bowser growls and moves up to Luigi, who gives a terrifying yelp.
"Leave him to me." Bowser gestures for Kamek to undo Luigi's restraints and forces him to Bowser.
"What is your name?" Bowser demanded. Kamek brings Luigi, and Bowser studies him. "Uh... Luigi." He shudders. Bowser raises his hand to his chin, "Not sure if you know who I am, but I'm about to marry a princess and rule the world."
"Wow, uh, heh-heh... Yay..." Luigi chuckles with a shaky breath. Bowser lowers his hand, "But there's one problem, Luigi: there's a human traveling with my fiancée. Has a mustache, just like you. Do you know him...?" The King Koopa glares at him.
"N-No! No!"
Bowser chuckles, "Ah, tough one, I see. Maybe THIS will get you to talk!" Kamek releases Luigi, and Bowser pulls on a strand of Luigi's mustache.
Luigi releases a sharp gasp, panting, "Do you think I know every human being with a mustache wearing an identical outfit with a hat with the letter of his first name on it?! Uh, because I don't." Bowser pulls out the hair, making Luigi shriek in pain.
Bowser grabs Luigi and tugs on his whole mustache, "DO YOU KNOW HIM?!" He growled. Luigi felt tears in his eyes, "Gah! STOP! STOP! STOP, STOP, STOP! I know him! Yes, I know him! Yeah, he's my brother, Mario, and he's the best guy in the world!"
"Do princesses find him attractive?!" Bowser questions, making Luigi cringe in pain, "THEY DO IF THEY HAVE GOOD TASTE!!" Bowser furiously yanks a chunk of Luigi's mustache, causing him to shriek in agony. Bowser throws Luigi to the ground and turns to his guards, "Get him out of my sight! We'll see how tough this Mario is when he watches me kill his brother!"
The guards grab Luigi and took him outside where a cage sat, waiting.
"Oh no..."
