Peach goes for the Mini Mushroom

Peach looks around. She doesn't much appreciate the idea of crossing a field completely exposed, but she needs to return her body to normal sooner rather than later. Even if she remains naked when she changes back... at least this will all be over soon.

Peach heads for the field and hides by using as many leaves and branches as she can hold around her body. She is dirty, her hair covered in leaves, and an annoying bird keeps trying to poke her. Peach is pretty sure she is going to end up sunburned if she doesn´t find clothes soon.

“Finally!” Peach has reached the mushroom field! The mushrooms are spread out in a large, open glade. The field is empty save for a blue toad in the middle of a nap, thank goodness.

Peach runs as fast as she can, and as soon as she reaches the patch, stomps on one of the mushrooms and closes her eyes. Hopefully, she'll wake up in a much better state of affairs.

Peach shrinks down, but to her horror, she does not stop at her normal size. She keeps shrinking and shrinking until she is the size of a beetle. The grass blades stand taller than the trees around her.

“No! This wasn't part of the plan! What the heck!?” a flustered Peach can´t help but yell, her voice high-pitched and drowned out by the breeze above. A powerful sinking feeling takes over her. Peach wants to give up and crawl into her bedroom with a tub of ice cream and her cat!

But, no. She was still far, far away from the comforts of home. Peach considers her options. Walking to the Mushroom Kingdom will take a while. Even if she could find her way there, there's no guarantee she'll be able to hide from any gross bugs along the way. But she also can't just stay in the woods and live a hermit lifestyle, she's got to be a Ruler! Peach has citizens and friends who depend on her. Leaving her kingdom behind is never an option.

Peach sighs. She then hears the snoring of the sleeping Toad. She recognizes him, he is the royal Mushroom collector! If she climbs into his basket, he will take her back home! Although, doing so runs the risk of getting spotted in her tiny, ridiculous state.

Still, better than the alternatives. Peach crawls into the basket and tucks herself in a corner, hoping to avoid getting spotted. Her feet are tired, she is exhausted, sweaty, and her eyelids heavy.

Peach thinks of her bed back in the castle, trying to imagine the luxury of her bed to feel more at peace, the soft pillows and the plush comforter that wait for her there. Just imagining this feels good… so good that Peach falls soundly to sleep.
