Bean Fever part 1

I lifted my eyes open.  The light was harsh on my sensitive pupils; not that my heavy eyelids could open very much at the moment, anyway.  My head was throbbing, and my cheeks were on fire.  I felt something cold and moist against my forehead.  I looked around.  I was back at the embassy.  But how did I get here?  The last thing I remember, I was taking a bite out of the Invincishroom that Luigi and I had won.  Everything after that is all a blank. To my right I saw a petite, pink, silky waist.  I knew that fabric almost as well as I know my brother's eyes.  "Mario?" An angelic voice caressed my ears.   My focus slowly moved up to see Princess Peach's moist face.  The pearly white of her sapphire blue eyes were bloodshot.  A tear rolled down her beautiful visage.   It pains me to see her cry.  Moving any part of my body took more effort than usual, but I have never let any kind of ailment hold me down.  I felt around for one of her gloved hands.  After my right hand found her left hand on my chest, she wrapped it around my own right hand and squeezed it gently.  Her free hand stroked my sweaty locks of brown hair.

The Mushroom and Beanbean kingdoms were safe again.  Luigi and I had foiled the wicked Cackletta's plans of using Princess Peach's pure voice to harness the power of the Beanstar.  We were unable to prevent the witch's underling, Fawful, from flying off with her essence in his headgear.  After being dismissed by the Beanbean monarchy, Luigi, Peach, and I decided to brave Teehee Valley and visit Little Fungi Town, a quaint little village where  immigrants from our home kingdom lived.  Luigi and I went to the arcade after escorting the princess to the Mushroom Embassy.  "Why did you stop playing," my little brother asked me.  "Don't you wanna see how high we can score on this thing?"
"Relax, Weegi," I said.  "Think of how many Invincishrooms we could get if we do this gradually."
Luigi thought for a few moments. "Bowser will have another thing coming to him when he tries to kidnap the princess again!"
"Mmhm," I nodded.
"Great thinking, Big Bro!"  My little brother started doing his happy dance.  A cute little dance if I do say so myself.

"Peach," I called out weakly to the princess.  Even speaking took a lot more effort in my rough physical condition.  The princess ceased stroking my head and placed her finger on my lips.
"Luigi's out getting the Crabbie Grass to cure you." the princess whispered.  Luigi; bless his timid soul.  We have always looked out for each other.  "You are going to be fine, Mario.  Just get some rest." Peach leaned forward and gave me a small kiss on my nose.  The weight of my eyelids finally took over, and I blacked out with my head resting on the princess's lap; still feeling the soothing effects of her kiss.
