Super Mario Brothers: Peach-hime Kyuushutsu Daisakusen Fan Fiction ❯ A Hard Goom's Life ❯ more bad news ( Chapter 1 )

The next afternoon, Goombella sat staring into the fountain, looking at the gold coins tossed into it. All of those wishes that never came true, I kinda feel sorry for those people. Her sadened gaze looked at the only red coin in the water.... it was her own. She gave a sigh, I know those dreams didn't come true, because my dream, the dream I wished for with my red coin never came true. No, more like it backfired into my worst nightmare. Normally, she'd be doing her "work" on an afternoon like this, but she could never put herself to work on a Saturday. Sure she was a whore, but she had morals. Well, I might as well make another wish... Using her ponytail, Gombella tosses anothre red coin into the fountain, joining her previous coin. I hope to have a better ending than this...

 

With a sigh, Goombella walked away from the fountain. "Well, at least it's a lovely day..." she trailed off. Walking the streets of Mushroom City was a lovely thing to do. "I should go to the park and reflect on my day off." And off to her destination she went.

Ah, Mushroom Park.... shady trees, three playpens for the kiddies, families having a picnic in the grass, the rustling of a moaning patch of shrubbery..... Wait a minute, moaning bushes? Well, at times this park is know for its exhibitionists... not to mention some drive-by shootings. Goombella sat in a tree cuddled up to a good book. It was a picture book, one she had made during her journey with Mario and the gang searching for the crystal stars of The Thousand Year Door. It was a pic of her, Mario and Koops at one of the balconies of Hooktail Castle. Admiral Bobbery took the picture of them and the trio looked happy. "I look at this picture and I see the nice expression on my face and I wonder to myself where it all went sour for me." Goombella said to herself as she turned the page with her foot. "Ah Yoshi... He was so nice, I never thought that a black little dragon like him could be so powerful... Maybe everything went bad for me after my expedition went bust.

 

"Once that happened, I live in Rogueport with Prof. Frankly. But after his death, everything he had got repo'd and I was out in the cold world alone. Sure I could've stayed with Koops, but he was a family turtle and it wasn't working for me."

"Heya stranger, what are you babbling about?" Goombella looks down and sees Toad.

"Just reminessing about the past." Goombella answered.

"Is that so?"

"Yup."

"Hey, I'm gonna get a bite to eat. Come and join me, my treat."

"Sure, I won't pass up something like this."

Goombella hopped from the tree with her scrapbook in tote and off the two went.

"So tell me, how has life treated you?" asked Toad.

"Shitty." answered Goombella.

"Really now..."

"Trust me, my life's been shitty."

"Oh well, but at least you have your health."

"Yup, and I'll need it."

"So what are you doing for a living now?"

"I'm self-employed."

"Being your own boss, that sounds cool."

"How's work at the castle?"

"It's been good. Peach plans on giving us retainers a raise soon."

Lucky bastard.

"Hey, why don't you work for Peach as a retainer. I'm sure she'll hire you and it'll be nice to have your company."

"Like, pass. A goomba working with mushrooms.... it wouldn't work out for me. That and being a servant to a monarch isn't all that great to me."

"I see..."

"Well, I'm gonna go home now. Thanks for the grub, Toad."

"No prob, you take care of yourself.... but then again, I don't need to tell you that, now do I?"

"No... you don't."

 

Goombella walked away from the diner and headed up the block to her appartment. Toad isn't a wimp like the people think he is. the told herself mentally. He's kinda sweet too. I just feel bad for lying to him like that though. I guess it's for the best, right... And besides that, how was I gonna tell him that my job involves sucking dick for money and fucking every Tom, Dick and Harry just to get coins to survive. How does a girl tell her friend, "My job, well I work the street as a whore." Like, yeah right. If you found out that your friend was a whore/gigolo, what would you say? I can see that now.... "Hey Toad, even though I work for myself, I suck dick for a living." Yeah, right.

When our goomba girl went to her appartment door, she soon had a disdainful look on her face. "Eviction notice?!" she shouted. Goombella went to her landlord's door and kicked it three times. Mr. Laycaster opened it and stood in the doorway. "Well, well, if it isn't my slut for a tennant." he said coyly.

"What's with the eviction notice?" Goombella questioned angrily.

"You didn't really think that servicing me withough giving me coins for rent would just help you skate by? I'm growing tired of you, so I'm giving you thirty days to pack your things and amscré."

"What the... Wh-where am I going to go then?"

"You got two choices: Live on the street where you work, or live with the harlottes in a burlesque house."

You asshole.

"I personally don't give a damn where you end up, I just want you off my property as fast as possible. And I'm keeping your security deposit as payment for the rent and I'm going to forget you ever came to live here. Now step the fuck on."

"I hope your nuts fall off."

"Just like I hope your pussy rots. Scum-like trash such as yourself doesn't belong in the successful world, so do the world a favor and choke on a dick."

 

With that, Mr. Laycaster slammed his door in Goombella's face. In retaliation, the goomba girl hocked a big loogie at his doorstep then walked off. It figures... a horny bastard like him always though of me as a cheap thrill. Oh well, looks like my second wish is turning into another nightmare... as usual.
