Me and Waluigi got to the garage, he looked angry. And as soon as he had closed the door behind us he started talking.

''What were you thinking?! You could've died out there!'' He said and paced back and forth in front of me.

''I couldn't let Bowser win, he was nearly killing you all!'' I said and crossed my arms.

''What difference does that make? I'm nobody, you're the most powerful princess in history!''

''It makes alot of difference!'' I said.

''How?!''

''Because without you, I would've been captured a long time ago.''

He stopped and looked at me. He then sighed and scratched the back of his neck. ''Thanks... for helping me out there...''

I took a step closer. ''And thanks for standing up to me.''

We stared at each other for a minute without saying anything. I could sense that Waluigi was worried about me and it made me blush a little. Then, we started to close in on each other and...

''ROSALINA!''

Waluigi and I backed away from each other immediately while Shawn and Polari ran into the garage screaming. ''ROSALINA, ARE YOU OKAY?! ANY BRUISES?! ANY WOUNDS?! DO YOU HAVE ANY INTERNAL BLEEDING?!?!?!''

They ran around in circles, Waluigi smacked Shawn across his mask while I grabbed ahold of Polari and hugged him tightly to calm him down. They were really hyperactive.

''Shawn, Polari, I'm okay. Nothing to worry about.'' I said in a calming voice.

''Oh, thank god!'' Polari sighed. ''Never do that again! You almost gave me a heart attack!''

''I think she gave us all heart attacks.'' Waluigi added.

It suddenly knocked on the backdoor, it was a small knock and sounded like it came from a small toad. Shawn opened the door and the one who was standing outside was no one other than...

''Toadsworth?!'' I gasped.

''Rosalina!'' He said and we hugged each other. ''I've been so worried about you!''

''What are you doing here?'' I asked him.

''I snuck out of the castle to watch the tournament, but when I saw you I almost had a heart attack.''

''Told ya.'' Waluigi whispered to Shawn.

''Anyway, now that I'm finally able to meet you, I want to talk to you.'' He stared at the others. ''Alone.'' He added.

The others went out so that me and Toadsworth were completely alone in the small garage space. We sat down on two chairs and Toadsworth started talking.

''So, Rosalina, do you have any place that you can stay at that's safe?''

''Yes, I live at Waluigi's apartment.''

''Good, that's one hour away from Bowser's castle. But why didn't you use your magic when Bowser started to hurt you on the track out there?''

I took a deep breath. ''To be completely honest, Toadsworth: My wand is broken and lost as for now. In the observatory crash it broke and I was unable to fix it because I had to flee and didn't have enough time. I don't know where it is as for now.''

''Hmm, that makes it harder...'' Toadsworth said.

''It makes what harder?''

''Well, you're the only one left that can defeat Bowser because of your strong magic power.'' He said like it was obvious.

''Toadsworth... do you want ME to... kill him?'' I gulped. He nodded sadly in reply. ''But I... I can't kill anyone, there has to be another way!'' I said.

''Dear, it's hard, I know. But look at all the misery he has caused, even before Mario dissapeared he created mischief wherever he went. It cannot go on like this any longer.''

I thought for a moment. ''I'll have to think about it...''

Toadsworth nodded and went to the exit door. Before he left he turned around and looked at me. ''Everybody believes in you.'' Then he went out and closed the door after him.

I sighed, wasn't there anyone else but me who could do it instead? Why me? I don't want to kill anyone!

I changed into my normal clothes and met up with the others. We walked home again and ate some food together like nothing had happened. But in my head the conversation between me and Toadsworth kept replaying over and over again. He seriously wanted me to kill Bowser. How could I do that? I don't want to! But how else would the world go back to normal?

''Rosalina?'' Waluigi asked.

I snapped out of my thoughts. ''Hm?''

''You seem a little bothered by something, is everything alright?'' He asked while he and Polari stared at me.

''It's nothing.'' I said tiredly. ''Just a little sleepy.''

''Go to bed then.'' Polari said. ''Alot has happened today, I wouldn't be suprised if you would fall asleep right here and now.''

I went to bed. But I couldn't sleep. The thought of taking another person's life haunted my thoughts, even if that person was an evil dragon-turtle.

Sorry for short chapter! I was just kind of stressed and just wanted to get this done before going to bed. It's 03:50 right now! I have to go to sleep earlier or else I'm going to be dead when summer ends.
