The sun once again raised its golden head over the Mushroom Kingdom and showered land in its beautiful shining rays, signaling the start of a brand new day. The nation had certainly seen lighter days but, after the defeat of the Koopa Sisters, things seemed to be a little bit brighter.
Mario yawned softly as some of those rays entered Koopie's living room pressed up against his still tired eyelids. At first, he thought that the soft, cushiony orbs he was resting his head on was a pillow, but as he woke up he realized it was actually Bombette's naked buxom breasts, and what had happened the previous night suddenly came rushing back to him. He felt a little guilty that he had drooled all over them in his sleep until he noticed Bombette had left an even larger puddle of spit on top of his head.
"Good morning, sleepy heads" Goommaria said nearby as she set Koopie's dinner table in her underwear. "It's time to eat!"
"How long have you been awake?" Mario asked groggily.
"A few hours" she replied. "Goombas don't need as much sleep as a lot of other species, so I've been helping clean up and get things ready to go. Koopie's been up for a little while too, and she should be done with breakfast soon".
"Ugh… save me a seat" Bombette said as she pulled herself out from beneath Mario. "I'm going to go take a shower first".
A half an hour later and all four of them were eagerly chowing down on Koopie's delicious home cooked eggs. None of them were fully dressed though, with Mario and Goommaria only in their underwear and Koopie and Bombette naked as the day they were born. Mario tried focusing on his food, but found his attention drawn to each of his friends' bodies over and over again.
"Something wrong, Mario?" Goommaria asked when she noticed that he hadn't eaten that much.
"No, it's just that… it's kinda surreal that we're all just casually eating breakfast with barely any clothes on" Mario answered awkwardly.
"Ha! Well, it's a little late for modesty after what happened last night" Bombette laughed. "You were great, by the way. I don't know that many men who take a gangbang like that and still leave all his partners satisfied".
"Yeah…" Koopie agreed dreamily. "I'm still a bit tingly from cumming so many times".
"Gee, thanks" Mario said, unable to stop himself from blushing. "I hope we have time to do that some more on our adventure".
"Me too!" Goommaria said happily. "But, as much as I'd love to have sex with you guys all day, we need to focus on saving Prince Peach and the Star Spirits. Where should we go next?"
"Hmmm… I don't know" Mario admitted. "Maybe we should go back to Toad Town and ask Merluvlee if she knows where any of the other Star Spirits are being kept. She did say to go to her if we were ever lost".
"Sounds like a plan!" said Goommaria. "We'll go as soon as we're all dressed and ready".
"Oh, that reminds me!" Bombette said before suddenly getting up from her chair. She then walked over towards her backpack and began digging through it, giving Mario and ample view of her bouncy Bob-Omb butt as she leaned over and searched through her bag.
"Here" the blonde haired girl said as she tossed Mario a pair of her pink panties. "Consider this a 'thank you' for that amazing performance last night".
"Thank you!" Mario replied. "I'll be sure to hold onto these".

A little while later and the four of them were fully clothed and walking peacefully on the western road out of Koopa Village back towards Toad Town. To help pass the time, Mario decided he might as well try to strike up a conversation while they strolled.
"So, have either of you girls been to Toad Town before?" Mario asked Koopie and Bombette.
"No, but I can't wait to see it" Bombette enthusiastically replied. "I heard it's very pretty, and it would be really cool to see so many men in one place".
"I've been there a few times, and it is quite a nice city" said Koopie. "They've got some lovely parks, and swimming pools, and-"
"Hold it right there, Mario!" a voice abruptly shouted from the bushes on the north side of the road, causing the foursome to halt in place. "I've been waiting for you!"
The shrubs rustled a little before a small figure burst out of them onto the road, revealing the familiar form of Jr. Troopa. This time she was wearing a pair of brown shoes, tight blue shorts, a yellow t-shirt, and a white helmet that seemed to be fashioned out of the pieces of her shattered egg shell.
"I told you I'd be back! Now I'll get my revenge" she announced proudly. "Here it comes, baby! Check this out!"
The little girl charged forward to try and attack Mario but tripped over a rock on the way, causing her to fall over and slide into river that ran alongside the road.
"Dwaaa!" Jr. Troopa cried as she splashed into the waters below. Mario almost jumped into the stream to try and save her, but Jr. Troopa crawled her way out of the brook a few seconds later. Her clothes were totally soaked, but she was otherwise completely fine.
"Mario! I'm talking to you!" the little girl announced angrily. "I promise you, this fight will be much different from before! I've been training at The Master's dojo in Toad Town, and I've already got my diploma! There's no way you can beat me now!"
She then reached into one of her pockets for proof of her accomplishments, but the ink on the piece of paper she pulled out was warped beyond all recognition.
"Oh no!" Jr. Troopa yelled in a panic when she realized what had happened. "It's ruined! I spent, like, five hundred coins on those lessons!"
"Who is this crazed girl?" Koopie asked, very confused. "What a nut…"
"Shut up!" the younger Koopa shouted back, tossing her ruined certificate to the ground. "You! Mario! Of course you remember me!?"
"Nope" lied Mario, hoping he could somehow avoid having to fight the petite turtle. "You must have me mistaken for someone else-"
"What!? Darn it!" cursed the tiny girl, cutting Mario off. "You don't remember me?! Listen you… you big lug! My name is Jr. Troopa! Remember it and tremble! After this beating, you'll definitely remember it!"
Jr. Troopa charged forward towards Mario yet again, but was blocked when Goommaria stepped into the Koopa's path.
"Hey, back off!" Goommaria said steadfastly. "We don't care who you are, we're not about to let you hurt our friend".
"Yeah, if you want to get to him, you'll have to go through us" Bombette said, taking her place beside her Goomba companion.
"I really don't want to fight, but I'll do whatever it takes to protect Mario" Koopie said as she stood on the other side of Goommaria.
"Hey, no fair!" Jr. Troopa whined. "This is between me and him, not you losers!"
"Sorry, chica, but we're not moving" Goommaria reiterated. "Go back home to your mother before you get yourself hurt".
"Grrrr!" Jr. Troopa growled loudly at the women in front of her. "That's it! Now you're all on my black list! Next time you see me, I'll be so strong that I'll be able to thrash you all single handedly! Just you see!"
The helmet wearing Koopa then disappeared back into the foliage of the surrounding forest, but not before coming back one last time and shouting "And this time, I REALLY mean it".
"That was… weird" Koopie finally said after a minute of awkward silence. "Do you think she'll ever really be strong enough to defeat us?"
"Something tells me that that's not going to happen" Mario stated plainly. "Thanks for standing up for me though, girls. You didn't have to do that".
"Don't mention it!" Bombette said chipperly.
"Yeah, we wouldn't be very good partners if we just let you be attacked by some random weirdo, even they're just a little girl" added Goommaria.
"I know, but still… it's nice to know that you all have my back" said Mario gratefully.
"Oh, come here you!" Bombette said as she lightly tackled Mario and brought him into a tight hug. "Don't tell me that the legendary badass I've heard so much about is really just a big softie deep down! Maybe you shouldn't be our leader after all".
"Heh, I guess you caught me red handed" Mario laughed playfully as Bombette's massive breasts pressed into his chest. "I'm not going down without a fight, though!"
He then leaned forward and pressed his fuzzy lips against the Bob-Ombs, catching her completely off-guard. She was soon returning the kiss in earnest, however, and their lips parted as their tongues began to dance.
Even though Mario had initiated the kiss, Bombette swiftly started to dominate the make out session with her powerful mouth. It felt like she was practically shoving her tongue down the brown haired plumber's throat, but he enjoyed every second of it. After what seemed like an eternity of her sucking the spit out of his mouth, Bombette finally ended the kiss and forced their faces apart.
"Okay, I guess you can remain in charge…" Bombette said teasingly. "But only if you promise to reward me like that every time we save you".
"I think I can handle that" Mario replied breathlessly.
"Wow…" Koopie said, blushing hotly at the scene in front of them. "Uh… can I have a kiss too?"
"Of course" Mario said as he moved towards his other friend.
Koopie closed her eyes and leaned forward and Mario brought their lips together. This time, Koopie let Mario be in complete control of the kiss and allowed him to explore every corner of her mouth. He rewarded her by giving her tongue a thorough massage with his, causing her knees to shake with excitement. The redhead was very thankful to be wearing her shell at that moment, otherwise everyone would have seen how positively soaked her underwear had become.
"Thanks" said Koopie after she finally broke the kiss. "Do you want one too, Goommaria?"
"Hmm…thanks, but I think I'll take a raincheck on that one" the Goomba replied. "Like I said before, this adventure isn't going to complete itself, and we've wasted enough time already".
"Fair enough" sighed Bombette. "Let's get going".
The four of them arrived at Toad Town a few minutes later, where several female Toad soldiers stood guard outside of its eastern gate.
"Hey Mario!" one of them called out as they saw the mustachioed man approach. "How's it going?"
"Pretty good, all things considered" Mario replied. "One Star Spirit down, six more to go".
"What?!" the Toad woman gasped back. "You managed to save one of them already? I knew we could count on you!"
"Thanks, but I really couldn't have done it without my friends here" he said, motioning towards the three women standing beside him. "It's okay if they enter the town with me, right?"
"Of course!" the soldier responded. "Any buddy of yours is okay to enter Toad Town in my book! Head on in!"
They each thanked the soldiers and began making their way inside the city, but they didn't make it far before a loud, high pitched voice caused them to stop in their tracks.
"Mario!" it shouted from somewhere above them. They all looked up and saw a tiny blonde woman in a yellow dress flying towards them as hurriedly as she could.
"Mario, Mario!" the little Star Kid said excitedly. "It's me, Twink. Remember me?"
The red capped man nodded simply in response.
"I heard you saved the honorable Star Spirit who was captured by the Koopa Sisters! Bowsa and her gang were so angry about it!" Twink cheerfully announced. "I knew you could to it, Mario! You're on your way!"
"It wasn't that hard" Mario tried to say as humbly as he could. "Those girls were total pushovers".
"If you say so. Enough celebrating for now, though" Twink said, her tone turning much more serious. "I come bearing important information for you. It seems that one of the Star Spirits is being held captive somewhere in Dry Dry Desert".
"Really?" asked Koopie. "How do you know about his?"
"Bowsa wrote about it in her diary. Someplace called Dry Dry Ruins…" she explained. "The Prince braved the dangers of the castle to get you this clue, Mario!"
"Prince Peach… is he doing okay?" Mario asked concernedly.
"Don't worry, he's fine" Twink replied. "If we find out anything else, I'll hurry back to tell you. I have to go back to His Highness now. He's so brave! I hope this news helps!"
"Don't worry, it did" replied Goommaria. "See you later, Twink!"
With that, the little yellow girl flew back off into the sky and left the four standing alone on the streets of Toad Town.
"So, do any of you know how to get to the Dry Dry Desert from here?" Mario asked his friends.
"I think there's a train on the south side of town that heads that way" Koopie replied. "We should be able to buy some tickets for the morning trip if we go there now".
It didn't take them long to find the station, and they each bought a ticket for the next train heading southeast out of town.
"Thank you for your purchases" said the woman behind the ticket booth's glass. "The train to Mt. Rugged will be leaving in about ten minutes".
"Mt. Rugged?" Mario said, confused. "I thought we were trying to go to Dry Dry Destert".
"We are, but the train only goes as far as Mt. Rugged" Goommaria explained. "We'll have to hike over it when we get there".
"I guess things can never be too easy for us, huh?" Bombette commented. "Come on, let's go take our seats".
"Hold on a minute…" Mario said before they could move to the train door. "We've got some time, and there's been something I've been meaning to try".
"Really? What's that?" Goommaria asked curiously.
"Remember yesterday, when you explained the whole 'giving people your panties' thing to me after Koopie and I first had sex?" Mario asked back.
"Yeah, what about- oh no!" Goommaria gasped. "I don't think that's a very good idea!"
Unperturbed, Mario walked out onto the nearby streets and started looking around. By now, there were lots of people walking along the roads, most of whom were Toad women. After scanning the crowd for a minute, Mario found one that caught his eye; a Toad woman with a purple spotted bulb, a matching purple dress, and curly red hair come down from the bottom of her mushroom cap.
"Excuse me" Mario said, walking up to her. "Can I have your underwear?"
Mario half expected her to slap him or start calling for the police, but she didn't seem angry at all. She was a little surprised at first but, after a few seconds, she seemed positively overjoyed.
"Sure!" she replied flirtatiously as she reached up her skirt and began pulling down her purple panties right in the middle of the street. "I don't have time to play right now, sadly, but my house is right over there. Feel free to stop by any time you like".
She then dropped the frilly undergarment into Mario's hands, straightened down her skirt, and continued on her way like nothing unusual happened at all.
"Wow, it actually worked" Mario said in disbelief. "This is still too weird".
"You probably shouldn't have done that" Goommaria said warningly.
"Huh? Why-" Mario began to say until he realized his lewd request did not go unnoticed. Every single woman on the street, young and old, Toad and Mono, was staring at him with lust in their eyes. They had all seen what had just happened, and none of them were going to let this opportunity pass them by.
"Hey, don't you want my panties too?" a blonde Toad woman with a yellow spotted cap said as she lifted up her own skirt. "I don't mind, you can have them!"
"No, take mine!" shouted a Goomba woman who was hurriedly taking off her pants. "I don't have to be anywhere today, so we can head right back to my place if you want!"
The street suddenly became a flurry of motion as dozens of women gathered around Mario and started pulling off their underwear. Belts, pants, and tights were tossed carelessly to the side, skirts and dresses were raised without any semblance of decency or modesty, and the mustachioed man in the middle of it quickly began to be buried in the flood of undergarments that were being tossed at him.
There were plain white panties, shimapan, low legs, frilly lingerie, square boy shorts, thin g-strings, and many more, a good chunk of them already soaked all the way through by their owners' eager pussies. It didn't take long for the entire street to begin reeking of sex, and Mario's friends realized that full on orgy in the streets might break out if they didn't do something quick.
"All aboard!" a voice shouted from the nearby train station, temporarily interrupting the chaos.
"That's our ride!" Goommaria said urgently before grabbing onto Mario's arm and pulling him out of the crowd. "Sorry, ladies, but we have to go!"
"Better luck next time, girls!" Bombette said as she and Koopie helped push people out of Gommaria's way.
The crowd let out a collective sigh of disappointment but begrudgingly returned to their everyday lives, some putting their discarded clothes back on if they could find them. Mario and his friends arrived just in time to show the conductor their tickets. He was quite perplexed to see a man covered in so many women's undergarments, but decided it was best not to ask questions. A few seconds later, the train let out a bellow of steam and took off southeast down the tracks.
"Whew, that was a close one" Mario said once they were safely inside. "Thanks for saving me. I really should have listened to your advice".
"Don't mention it!" Goommaria said proudly. "We should probably find our seats before anyone notices us, though. We can't risk a repeat of what just happened on the train".
The four then found the room listed on their tickets and let themselves in. Inside, the small room was adorned with two red leather benches, black carpeting, two small overhead compartments for luggage, and a window that displayed the scenery of the Mushroom Kingdom was it whisked by the speeding locomotive.
"It's no Excess Express, but it will do" Goommaria said as she took her seat and put down her backpack. "It's a good thing we got you out of there when we did, otherwise we'd have to wait a few hours for the next one".
"Yeah, I was not expecting that to happen" Mario said as he began taking off all the underwear that had gathered on his body. "By the way, what in the world was that? Why did they react so… vigorously?"
"Well, it's pretty rare for males to actually ask for a woman's panties. Usually, it's the female who offers them to the man" Bombette explained. "What you did out there was pretty slutty, so they probably thought they could give you their panties too for an easy lay".
Koopie gasped at the Bob-Omb's statement.
"Bombette! That's a terrible word!" the Koopa exclaimed. "Mario is not a slut!"
"Right, sorry!" Bombette said nervously as she rubbed the back of her head. "Just a slip of the tongue".
"Slut?" Mario asked, confused. "What do you mean by that?"
"Ahem, well…" Goommaria said awkwardly. "Despite the gender disparity, men who have sex with more than one woman are sometimes… looked down upon by society, to say the least. That's one of the main reasons by men who work at Toad Houses always work anonymously, so none of their private reputations are hurt too badly".
"What?!" Mario said, completely shocked by this revelation. "That's insane!"
"I know, but that's just the way it is" Goommaria said, shrugging. "The country has been trying to be more progressive lately, but old ways die hard".
"What about you guys?" Mario asked worriedly. "Do any of you look down on me for sleeping with all of you?"
"Of course not!" Koopie quickly replied. "You're our hero, Mario, and we have nothing but respect for you".
"Yeah, it doesn't matter who you do or don't have sex with! You'll always be our friend" agreed Bombette. "In fact, if anyone ever calls you a 'slut' again, they'll have to answer to us".
"Thanks girls, you're best" Mario said, letting out a sigh of relief. "By the way, I think it's time you all got your rewards for saving me earlier".
"Oh boy!" Koopie said excitedly. She was sitting directly across from Mario, so she leaned forward to collect her kiss first.
Mario tenderly gave the waiting Koopa her smooch, who received another glorious tongue massage for her bravery. Next was the blonde bombshell sitting next to her, who made sure to give Mario another tongue lashing that he would not soon forget. He then turned to Goommaria next to him to complete the circle, but found his lips stopped before they could reach their target.
"Hold on second" Goommaria said with her fingers pressed against Mario's mouth. "I think I'll have something more than just a kiss, if you don't mind".
The Goomba then swiftly undid the plumber's overalls and pulled them to the floor, leaving Mario's cock completely exposed. It didn't remain out in the open long, however, as the dark skin girl eagerly took soft dick into her mouth began sucking it to its full length.
"Cashing your raincheck already?" Bombette said teasingly as she watched her two friends go at it. "That's fair, I suppose".
Mario was about to compliment Goommaria on her incredible blowjob skills when he heard someone walking by their room in the corridor outside. Fortunately, those footsteps continued on passed their door, but the idea of being caught was more than enough to excite the plumber to full hardness.
"Are you sure we should be doing this here?" Mario asked nervously while the Mono on his shaft continued swallowing his penis all the way down her throat.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine as long as we're quiet" Goommaria said after popping his throbbing meat out of her mouth. "Besides, we have to pass the time to Mt. Rugged somehow".
Goommaria then stood up and took off her all her clothes below the waist, making sure that nothing would stand in between her hungry vagina and its precious prize. After taking a moment to align Mario with her opening, the short Goomba thrust the plumber's thick shaft as deep as it could go inside of her.
"Ah, I'm never going to get tired of this feeling" Goommaria sighed contently as her warm, slick walls pressed against Mario's dick. "How about you? How does it feel to be back inside me?"
"It's wonderful!" Mario replied, not exaggerating in the slightest. The woman sitting in his lab had yet to move, but the feeling of her tight pussy was already enough to drive him to the very edges of ecstasy. Goommaria loved the experience even more though, as the click-clacking of the train on the tracks vibrated through her erect clit and sent shivers up her spine.
"Mmm, I'm so glad" Goommaria moaned softly, careful not to raise her voice too loud. "I don't want you getting bored with me, though, so I think I'll give you a little extra service".
She then shifted her bodyweight down and focused as hard as she could. Mario was about to ask her what she was doing, but was interrupted by the feeling of something wrapping around and squeezing the sensitive tip of his cock.
"You like that?" Goommaria asked, giggling. "That's the entrance of my womb giving your little man a nice sloppy kiss! Not the most traditional make out session, I know, but I think you'll agree it's just as fun".
Mario wanted to respond, but knew that if he tried he risked crying out and alerting the other passengers to what they were doing. His dick provided more than enough of a reply to Goommaria, however, as she could feel it writhe and shudder within her.
"Oh, I felt that" Goommaria groaned lustfully. "Your dick must know he has direct access to my deepest parts. Your balls must already be practically exploding with the need to breed, to make extra sure that you've knocked me up with your seed".
She was right. Mario could feel the sperm churn within his testicles and beg for release, causing his dick to become even harder within Goommaria's depths. This strong need to orgasm was made even worse as Goommaria began rocking back and forth in his lap, sliding her moist muff against his hard prick all while the entrance of her womb continued furiously sucking on its head.
"Wow, they really are" Koopie commented as she watched her friend's sack bloat in size. "They're so big…"
"Yeah, they almost look painful" agreed Bombette. "What do you say we help them feel better?"
Her Koopa companion nodded and the two knelt onto the floor in front of Mario's open legs. Bombette then took Mario's right ball into mouth and began swirling her tongue around it while Koopie began licking the other up and down. Bombette was coarser in her approach than Koopie, sucking roughly on the man's nut while her bumpy tongue wrapped itself around it over and over again. Koopie, meanwhile, lathered his left testicle like it was a fine candy, gently caressing it using only the tip of her tongue.
His friends' joint oral assault combined with Goommaria's expert control of her pussy caused Mario's mind to be completely overwhelmed with sensations. It didn't take him long at all for his bulbous balls to begin contracting, firing shot after shot into Goommaria's waiting cunt.
"Yes! Pump me full of every last drop you have!" Goommaria called out as her own orgasm overtook her at the same time. "I'm cumming!"
The two eventually came down from their collective climax merely sat in each other's arms, panting heavily while the two women below them zealously ate up the juices that were leaking out of Goommaria's pussy. However, their rest was swiftly interrupted by the sound of knocking on their room's wall behind them.
"Hey, keep it down in there!" a feminine voice called out through the wall. "You think you're the only ones trying to have sex on this train? Show some common courtesy, why don't you?"
Goommaria laughed a little before finally pulling herself off of Mario's prick and allowing his seed to start spilling out of her. Bombette was fast enough to catch it with her mouth before any of hit the floor, however, and eagerly drained the rest from Goommaria's tight snatch with her voracious tongue.
"Aw, I wanted some" Koopie complained softly, but Bombette was already two steps ahead of her and swiftly latched her lips onto the redhead's and began sharing what was left of Mario's semen.
"Mmm!" Koopie moaned into the kiss, which lasted almost a minute before they finally broke it. "Thanks, that was delicious".
"No problem!" Bombette replied happily. "I didn't want you missing out".
"Whew…" Mario exhaled as he put his clothes back on. "Sorry girls, but I think we should save the rest of our energy for climbing Mt. Rugged. Who knows what kind of traps Bowsa has waiting for us there".
"I suppose you're right" Goommaria said as she put her own clothes back on. "I doubt we'd have time for another round though; it looks like we're already almost there".
Mario looked outside their window and saw that his friend was indeed right. The green temperate forests of the central Mushroom Kingdom had given way to the brown scrublands of the southwest, and a large coffee colored mountain could be seen getting even larger in the distance. The train arrived at the base of Mt. Rugged just a few minutes later, and the four entered out into the bright midday sunlight with the rest of the arriving passengers.
"Mt. Rugged! Mt. Rugged!" a Toad conductor shouted loudly outside the train as Mario and his friends stepped onto the platform. "Passengers heading for Dry Dry Desert or Dry Dry Outpost should proceed directly over Mt. Rugged from this station".
New passengers started crowding onto the train not long after it cast off its previous load, and Mario could tell by the way they dressed that he was definitely in a another region of the country. Most of people boarding were still Toads, but their clothing was very different than anything he saw in Toad Town. Their attire was much more flowing and robe-like, and he could spot more than a few Dryite turbans among the crowd as well, which sent an involuntary shudder up the red-capped man's spine.
"Something the matter, Mario?" Goommaria asked after she seeing her partner shake.
"Oh no, it's nothing" Mario replied anxiously. "It's just that… Mt. Rugged looks a lot taller than Shooting Star Summit".
"Don't worry, it's nothing we can't handle" Goommaria said encouragingly. "As long as we stick to the main path, we'll be just fine".
"Really?" Mario asked. "Why is it so important not to stray?"
"Well, the locals here can be a bit… rambunctious, at times" Goommaria explained. "But, like I said, we'll be fine as long as we stay on the trail. Now then, let's go!"

It was only an hour later and Mario's legs already felt like they were about to fall off from hiking up the steep and rocky slopes of Mt. Rugged. Koopie wasn't doing that much better beside him, panting heavily as they both trudged their way up the side of the mountain.
"Come on, you slowpokes!" Bombette called out from up ahead alongside Goommaria. "We're almost there!"
"How can she not be sore in those high heels?" Mario thought to himself as he took a sip from his water bottle.
Koopie and Mario were both eventually able to catch up to their friends, but it was not because either of them had any boost in speed.
"Hey, why did you girls stop?" Koopie asked as she walked up behind them. "We still have a long way to-"
Koopie cut herself off when she saw the gorge lying in front of her, which was so deep that she couldn't even see the bottom. What little remained of the rope bridge that once connected the two sides of the canyon dangled off the far side in tatters, entirely useless.
"Welp, this isn't good" Goommaria said flatly. "Does anyone have any ideas on how to get across?"
They each tried frantically to contemplate a way across the ravine, but none of them could think of anything that didn't require going all the way back down the mountain. It was far too wide of a gap to try jumping, and there wasn't anything they could use to try and make a makeshift bridge.
"Ah… no… confound it!" a worried voice said from behind adventuring party, interrupting their brainstorming session. "Where could they be?"
Mario and his friends turned around to see a Koopa wearing a teal shell, brown work shoes, and aviator goggles desperately searching through the bushes of the surrounding area, trying to find something as quickly as she could. She was also carrying a large leather bag over one of her shoulders with the symbol of an envelope stamped on the side of it.
She wasn't walking while she was looking around, though; the white, feathery wings that sprouted out the back of her shell carried her everywhere she wanted to go, and yet they did not displace a single speck of dust as they flapped rapidly above the sandy ground beneath her. The strange woman was far too busy searching the ground to see where she was going, however, and promptly collided directly with Mario's chest a few seconds later.
"Oh! Sorry folks! Very sorry!" the Parakoopa said, thoroughly embarrassed. "I was looking for something and not watching where I was going".
"Don't worry, it's fine" Mario said as he helped her up off the ground. "Just watch where you're going next time, okay?"
"Hey, wait…" the woman said curiously, wiping the dust off her goggles. "Aren't you Mario? Funny seeing you here! You would not believe the day I've been having".
"Uh…" Mario mumbled awkwardly. "Forgive me for asking this, but do I know you?"
"What?!" she said in response, clearly shocked. "It's me, Parakarry! I've been delivering your mail for the last five years! We're practically neighbors! Is this about me breaking your vase the last time I was over? And your Gameboy? And your toilet? And your-"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Parakarry" Goommaria said, interrupting the flying Koopa. "Mario took a pretty bad hit to the head, so a good chunk of his memories are missing. You'll have to forgive him if he doesn't remember you".
"Oh!" Parakarry replied, a look of realization sweeping her face. "Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. Remember that one time I hit my head on your table and I forgot my own name? Oh wait, you don't… oh well, at least I'm not the only one who's missing something valuable today"
"Really?" asked Bombette. "What happened?"
"I was just on my way to deliver some mail to Dry Dry Outpost, when I was suddenly attacked by a vicious beast!" Parakarry explained fearfully. "I was able to get away safely, but I ended up losing three of my letters in the process. If you happen to stumble upon a letter around here, please tell me, alright? My job could depend on it!"
Mario was about to tell her that they didn't have time to help until he realized that, if they worked together, they could solve both of their problems.
"Say, if we found your missing mail, do you think you could carry us to the other side of that gorge?" Mario said, pointing behind himself.
"Of course! That's the least I could do!" Parakarry replied. "I'll be searching this area thoroughly for a while, and you guys can check back down the path. I haven't been to the other side of the bridge yet, so I know there won't be any there. Good luck finding them all!"
"Thanks, we'll try our best!" Koopie replied. And, with that, they went back down trail to begin their search.

A/N: Don't worry, you'll all get to meet Parakarry's alternate partner choice soon enough. In the meantime, be sure to leave a review and let me know what you thought of the chapter!
