Happy MAR10 Day!... Weekend?... Meh.

Hey Guys!

    Sorry if this is late, but Happy MAR10 Day! That special day in March dedicated just for Mario! Since this is a special occasion like last week, I'm going to do a similar post to what I did for Luigi. So for the next paragraph or so I'll talk about probably the most important man in my life next to my butler, Mario!

OMIGOSH it's mini me! Even back then I still had my puff!

    So for those who aren't catching on, I'll start at the beginning. Mario and I first met during the Graffiti Incident when I was 4. Back then I was so painfully shy that I could barely watch him from around a corner. Eventually though he noticed me and wanted to get to know me. And sure enough he slowly convinced me to come out of my shell and relax. After a couple of run-ins with Shadow Mario(aka Bowser Jr.) he and I started forming a bond. At one point he even helped mend my scraped elbow when I tripped and fell, which was when he learned about my healing power and magic. As time passed he and I pretty much became inseparable, I even helped him find a couple of Shine Sprites on my own. Eventually Mario finally stopped Bowser and saved the last of the Shine Sprites, Peach and Isle Delfino and got the vacation he deserved. Once it was over though and they were all getting ready to leave, I stopped Mario for one last goodbye and gave him one of my Shine Sprite brooches that matches my pendant. A few months later came the Palace Raid and all that jazz that Mario pulled me out of, but I explained that in the Luigi post. To summarize it up, my friendship with Mario started out pretty slow, but once it grew we became so close that people mistook us for being related. We obviously aren't but it sure feels that way most of the time.

I knew I was in trouble if he made THAT face and I
made THAT grin!

    Throughout the 10 years that I lived under Mario's roof, my personality really started to unwind. I was more excited and happy than before, I had an explorer's curiosity, and as I got older I was more confidant and independent. But if you guys are thinking that meant I became a rebel, heck no! As much as Mario respected my growing personality, he was still there to keep my head screwed on to make sure I didn't go too far. Although he does tell me that I was a breeze to care for and that I never got into trouble, nor did I want to. In fact most of the time I got in trouble it wouldn't even be my fault and he would know that. Mario is the reason why I grew up into the person I am today. Kind and caring with a little excitable spunk in there to mix things up. You could almost say it rubbed off from him! He was there with me for every hard time, joyous occasion, epic win and total loss. And if he wasn't right there, he was on his way there. And our relationship wasn't strictly parent/child either, like I mentioned in my dungeon story he'll sometimes troll with me and try to challenge me like any other friend would. Of course I know he does this to help me grow as a person, and that it's all in good fun. Apart from all of that, I could go on forever about how much I love Mario and how much he means to me. I truly believe that I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for him and Luigi for that matter.

I was never this excited to play a console since they
dug up the N64 and SNES from the attic! XD

    Okay, now that I got all of that fluffy-mushy stuff out of the way, let's talk about what happened this past weekend! I decided to wear my Mario outfit this time around like what I did with Luigi, however Mario caught on immediately this time. By the time I got there Friday evening though Mario was exhausted running from paparazzi all day. XD So for the rest of that night we just relaxed at the house. The next morning though, Mario surprised me by bringing out the Nintendo Switch! All day Saturday he and I played the heck out of"Breath of the Wild" and "1, 2, Switch"! Later that night Mario was helping me out with a tough Zelda dungeon and I wanted to take a break, so I shrunk down to fairy mode and went to sleep on his chest again. Eventually he fell asleep on the sofa too with me still on his chest. Needless to say we both felt the recoil of that late night game session the next morning! I didn't wake up until 10 am, and that was with the time change!

    Well, time to wrap it up. Happy late MAR10 Day guys! And Mario if you read this, you are the absolute best friend a girl could ask for! Never change dude! Blog ya soon guys!
