"So. Where to now?"
The motley crew of the Neo-Yagami were sitting in the mess of the ship, waiting for another meal from Solana. Caesar was looking at a readout of the 'list' on his holocomputer, while looking at a space map. The others were waiting for an answer for Ilyane's question.
Looking back and forth for a second, Caesar nods. "Mushroom Kingdom. We're looking for cake."
Ilyane laughs. "Cake? Couldn't we just make it ourselves and skip the trip?"
"That defeats the purpose of our entire journey," Kalia says. "We got everything else, right?"
Caesar nods. "True, but this one might be a little tricky. He's asking for Princess Peach's cake."
Ilyane rolls her eyes, "Oh, so it's ROYAL cake."
"How come she's just a princess?" Dante adds, looking over the details. "Doesn't look like there's a king or queen around."
"Maybe there's a rite of passage she doesn't want to do. Like she has to eat one of her people or something," Caesar quips.
"Caesar!" Solana shouts off from the kitchen.
"Just an example!"
"Anyway," Kalia adds, try to steer the subject away from royal ascension, "Anything we should be prepared for at the mushroom kingdom?"
Looking back on his screen, Caesar can only add one thing.
"Don't touch anything."
----------------------
The four friends were standing in the middle of the square, taking in the surreal world that was the Mushroom Kingdom.
"Why does everything have eyes?" Ilyane says pointing to the hills off in the distance.
Everyone looks to the hills. The hills blink.
"GUYS!!"
Everyone looks over to Solana, who was now sporting a tail and pointed ears. The shock on her face was pretty jarring for a group that was used to seeing the water guardian being the calmest member of the group. "I was just looking at the trees over there and one of the leaves fell on my head and now this happened!"
"My God," Dante said with fear in his voice, "The leaves turn people into furries!"
Caesar walks over to Solana, and pokes one of her 'ears.' It twitches.
"Wow. They're real."
"WHAT?!?" Solana yelps in a panic. "I'm stuck with these?!?"
"I doubt it," Caesar says, gently stepping on her racoon tail to see it twitch. "If it was, all of these mushroom people would have them. I would guess it's temporary."
Solana exhales, relief on her features. "Thank goodness. I don't know how I could handle walking around with this, let alone if Aryn saw this."
"So," Kalia says, looking at a pile of leaves off to the side. "The leaves give you a raccoon tail and ears. I wonder if anything else around here can cause other effects."
Before anyone could say anything else, a laugh is heard off in the distance.
"Oh, Caesar!"
The group looks over at Ilyane, who had grown several feet. She now was up to Caesar in terms of height.
"I just touched one those mushrooms over there and grew some! Who's the spud now?!?"
Laughing, Ilyane runs over to the party. However, she trips on a broken part of the road, and falls forward. Just as quickly, she shrinks back down to her normal size, much to her dismay.
"No!!!"
Caesar walks over, rubbing under his chin. "Huh. She fell over, and the effect ended."
Nodding, Caesar walks over to Solana. "So. It looks like the only way to end the effect is pain. And I'm not hurting Auntie Solana. So..."
Caesar gave Solana a big hug. "Sorry Auntie Solana. You're going to be a furry forever."
"Yeah, no." Solana growls.
In one swift movement, Solana swings her tail around. As the tail whips around to the front, she quickly stomps on it. With a yelp, her tail and ears poof away.
"Let's get to the castle."

Part two coming soon!
