What is it?

A pillow?

"Really? Strange...."

The blonde princess picked up the object and looked it over. It was a white and pink pillow, with a wavy seam design to it. On the corners there seemed to also be some sort of wave pattern to it. And it felt very soft at the touch. There was a card attached to the box that said "Sweet dreams for the head heavy with the crown."

Sleep had been something that had escaped the Princess as of late, tossing and turning late into the night. Peach simply had too much on her plate that left her mind buzzing; the kidnappings, the events, the parties, heck Smash alone left her too sore and tired to get a good night's rest. Still, she wasn't born yesterday. This wouldn't be the first time Bowser had tried some sort of trick, and it wouldn't even be the first time someone tried to use sleep or pillows as a weapon.

But checking the pillow over didn't seem to show any trapped effects. Only that it was enchanted to inflict sleep faster while at the same time allowing the sleeper to wake up on time. A few days of testing(on toad volunteers) seemed to show no ill effects, though the Toads did say they had vivid if fuzzy dreams. Like they were awake in the dream but left only with a nagging feeling.

So now, Peach was left in her bedroom clad in her pjs, holding the pillow. The stress of testing the pillow hadn't helped so now she was really tempted to use it, even though Toadsworth told her not to.

"I'm.... just so tired though..., one night won't hurt." She muttered as she yawned and put the pillow down. It really was as soft on her head as she thought it would be. Soft but still somehow firm enough to support her head and neck, and there seemed to be a scent of lavender to it.

"Mmmmm... comfy..." Peach whispered to no one as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

What happens Next?
