A friend and I were rp-ing and I wanted to do this one-shot based on an event that was only mentioned in the rp.

I haven't written a one-shot in a while so if it's bad I apologize.

A/N: Shadow and Charlotte belong to @Shadow_The_Ghost

Enjoy!

The sun rose over the beautiful land of the Mushroom Kingdom. It highlighted the kingdom's beauty, showing nature's details. The way the trees stood tall and firm, how the sky was full of marshmallow white clouds, and most importantly, how beautiful the pink castle looked.

However, the mushroom fields was definitely another sight to see besides the castle at sunrise. When the sun would shine on it, the fields would become golden with it. If seen from afar, one would think it was actually made of the precious material that people wished for.

In the middle of the beautiful fields, a poison mushroom was peacefully sleeping in his little nest made up of a pile of lime green leaves. The mushroom snored softly, his whole body moving up and down with each snore.

When a bird nearby chirped was when he woke up.

"Shut up!" Paul hissed at the bird, only to receive yet another chirp. He growled and dragged himself out of his nest, heading to the puddle that was next to it. He looked at his reflection. The pink circle in the middle of his head and then the two green ones on the sides. Paul nodded, approving his look before suddenly feeling his heart skip a beat.

"Today's the day!" He exclaimed, almost jumping.

Paul quickly slid out of the mushroom fields, making his way toward the close-to-perfect Toad Town. Once there he slid into a flower shop, looking for a bouquet. He slowly slid through each aisle, trying to figure out what flowers to put in his bouquet.

"Orange? Red?" He gasped. "Orange and red. Definitely."

The mushroom stared at the orange and red flowers that happened to be next to each other. Only issue was, he didn't know how to reach them. "Can anyone help me here?!" No one answered, and he slowly began to get upset. "Hello?!"

"Hey there, Paul!"

Paul turned and grumbled. "Hello, Princess Peach." Realizing she was tall enough, he gestured to the flowers. "Get those flowers for me, yeah?"

The princess nodded and made the bouquet, then gave it to Paul, who dragged it to the front desk. The princess followed him, grabbing a single daffodil along the way.

"Who are those flowers for?" She asked quietly, slowly taking out her wallet.

"None of your business, Peachy," He snapped, not bothering to look at her.

Peach thought for a moment, then suddenly gasped. "Your girlfriend! What was her name... Charlie!" She looked down, only to see that Paul had already left.

•••

Paul was now at Professor E. Gadd's abode. "Listen, I need to borrow your time machine. It's my... monthaversary with my girlfriend from the future."

E. Gadd adjusted his glasses. "Well, in reality, a one month anniversary should be actually called a mensiversary--"

"Did I ask for that?! No! I don't give two shrooms about what it's called. I just wanna use your stupid machine!" Paul practically yelled. Seeing that E. Gadd was hesitant, he scoffed and left, going off to find someone who had the magic to send him to the future.

"What can I do for you?" Asked the blue-eyed Boo as she looked down at the poison mushroom who at this point looked like he could strangle someone. Noticing this, Shadow floated up to him and picked him up, noticing the flowers behind his back. "Ohhhh, you wanna see Charlie, huh? Why didn't you just say so!" She put him down and opened up a portal. "There ya go!"

"THANK YOU!" Paul finally spoke and started sliding into the portal.

"Hey! Don't do anything stupid! This is my daughter you're dealing with," Shadow joked, although there was a slight seriousness to her tone.

Paul nodded slowly, then entered the portal completely. The world around him went white for a second or two, and soon enough he found himself in front of Shadow's castle of the future.

The mushroom slid to the front door and sighed softly. "HELLO?!" He yelled out, not being able to knock.

He waited for about a minute or two before hearing the creak of the door. He slid back a bit as to not get hit.

"Paul? What are you doing here?" Bowser Junior asked, a red brow raised. He then noticed the mushroom's flowers and blinked. "Wait a second--"

"PAUL!" A female voice exclaimed.

An orange Boo shoved past her father and picked up the poison mushroom, hugging him tightly. "I was hoping you'd come!"

Paul planted a sweet kiss on her forehead, smiling softly. "Of course I'd come. It's our... mensiversary!"

Charlie rose a brow, then chuckled. "I'm just going to assume you mean one-month anniversary." The bouquet of flowers appeared in front of her and she gasped, grinning. "Paul, these are beautiful!" Charlie floated into the castle, heading to the dining room. Paul hopped onto her head as she looked for a glass vase to put the flowers in. Once she did, she put them on the middle of the table.

"There ya go," She said softly. Charlie took Paul into his arms and kissed his cheek. "Now, have you got anything planned for today? I have a whole list!"

"That was my plan, Charlie," Paul said through a chuckle,"To do whatever was on your list." The mushroom watched the Boo head to her bedroom and grab a long white list from under her pillow.

"Alright then, here we go. First on the list is to see you. That's done. Second is to give you a present..." Charlie glanced up at Paul, smirking. "I find it funny how you gave me one." She then went to her closet and took out a purple box.

Paul hopped onto her bed and had her open it for him. Inside was a pair of shades. "Holy shroom!" Charlie put the shades on him, and damn he looked fine... even if he was a mushroom!

"You like 'em?"

"I love 'em!" Paul kissed her cheek and took a peek at the list. His eyes widened. "You have 100 things to do today?"

"We can always cut it down to 50--"

"Nope. One-hundred it is!"

"Well, now it's just 98~"

•••

Charlie floated upon the water as Paul stayed on top of her head. He still wore his shades, which helped cover his eyes from the sun.

The two were at Peach Beach. This was only event number 26 on Charlie's list.

"Hey Paul? Have you ever gone ice skating?" She asked him as she began to float towards the sand. Once on the sand she began to write on it with a stick.

"Mm nope! You see, I don't have feet," He said sarcastically with a smirk.

Charlie laughed softly as she continued to write. "Then, let's do that next." The orange Boo eventually finished the writing and floated upward so that Paul could read it.

"P plus C..." He read slowly. The two names were in a heart. He found himself smiling. "That is the sweetest thing, Charlie... I wish I could do that."

Charlie held him in her arms now. "Paul, you being my boyfriend is sweet enough." She kissed his forehead. "Now, let's go iceskating!"

•••

In New York City, at a skating rink, people watched an odd couple. One had bright red hair with a star tattoo on her face. As for the other, he acted like he didn't know how ice skate nor use legs in general.

"Whoooaa!" Paul said as he held onto his partner. He began to lose balance again and he ended up on his bottom. Charlie held out her hand and picked him up, continuing to ice skate with him.

"Charlie? Am I embarrassing you?" Paul had noticed the ghost, er, human was quiet.

She shook her head, biting her lip. "I'm just loving how good you look right now."

Paul held back a blush, grumbling. He then gasped when he felt someone bump into him, causing him to fall on top of Charlie.

The couple blushed brightly, nervous chuckles filling in the silence. Then, Paul found his hand on her cheek. Charlie glanced at his hand, biting her lip, then glanced back at him.

They both began to lean in, their faces practically inches apart. Now, their lips were beginning to brush against each other...

Aaaand that's it, lovelies! I didn't mean to make it this long (and I'm sorry if it makes no sense).

Thanks for reading!
