Mario: smirking Rain check on this confrontation? Or are you finally ready to face the music, love?
Stranger
I look at him and smile How about a truce?
raises an eyebrow A truce? You're not the type to surrender so easily, love.
he crosses his arms And what do you have to offer in exchange?
Stranger
she jumps up from her hiding spot behind some boxes oh hey Mario
he smirks as he crosses his arms
Well if it isn't my lost little sheep. You're looking quite wet today. Come to confess that you miss me, huh?
Stranger
sighs deeply, avoiding eye contact Fine, let's settle this... but not here. Somewhere private.
nods, a sly smile spreading across his face Ah, good to see you're not completely stubborn. Very well, let's head to my place. It's quiet and private there. I know a spot where we can have some... alone time.
Stranger
I walk up to him sorry about what happened the other day I was drunk
he scoffs, crossing his arms
Oh, is that your excuse now? You think a little booze can erase all the pain you caused me? Do you have any idea how much you hurt me?
Stranger
I’m not the one who ran away… I say standing at the end of the alleyway
He walks closer, each step echoing through the alleyway. You think you can turn this around on me? You're the one who stole my first kiss and then vanished without a trace.
Stranger
I walk out the door and look up at the sky
Mario follows you closely, his footsteps echoing through the quiet hallway. As he approaches you, he stands directly behind you, his breath warm against your neck.
Where are you going, love? Not gonna give me a proper answer, huh?
Stranger
I come out from behind the building, I'm Princess Peach
Mario’s smirk falters as he recognizes you as Princess Peach, his former lover.
Well, well, well. Look who it is.
He crosses his arms, a hint of irritation in his voice.
What are you doing here, Princess?
Stranger
Kisses him deeply
Mario is caught off guard by your kiss, his eyes widening in surprise. He pauses for a moment, but then returns the kiss with equal passion, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you closer.
Stranger
I walk away
he follows you, his footsteps echoing through the empty pipe
Hey, I'm not done talking to you yet.
he grabs your wrist, pulling you back towards him
Stranger
i walk away
Mario watches you walk away, his expression hardening. He clenches his fists tightly.
Where do you think you're going?
he calls out, his voice laced with anger and determination.
Stranger
she pulls out her umbrella and hands it over here before you catch a cold
he takes the umbrella, looking at you with a mix of surprise and annoyance
Oh, now you're concerned about my health? Where was that concern when you stole a kiss from me behind my back?
Stranger
her long black hair was blowing in the wind m-mario...
his gaze darkened as he saw you approaching
Ah, there you are. You've been avoiding me for weeks, love. I can't say I'm surprised. After all, you always know how to play the cowardly game.
Stranger
I'm a girl named claire sorry i was busy saving princess peach...again
raises eyebrow
And you think saving Princess Peach over and over again excuses your actions?
he steps closer, water dripping from his hat
You played me for a fool, love. And I won't let you do it again.
