(Just a short drabble based on a thought I had while failing at the jump rope game in Odyssey)

“Hey, you!”

A woman in a light grey pencil skirt called out to me, and my attention snapped over to her. She held one end of a jump rope, and the other end was grasped by another woman with a similar outfit. The rope was long, and they casually dragged it across the grass in the park.

“Come on, jump!”

I was a little confused, wondering if they were talking to me. Yet, one woman pointed directly at me. Beckoning me to try and jump rope. I hadn’t even tried since I was a child! Yet, they were so enthusiastic that I just had to go over there. New Donk City was such a friendly town! In just my first few minutes I was invited into a total stranger’s game. Once I strolled into the center of the rope, they began to swing. I got the hang of jumping pretty quickly, just like I did when I was a kid. That was until one of the women cried out.

“Faster!”

That threw me entirely off guard, and I ended up stumbling after just a few swings. Falling over and landing on my behind. The women watched me sympathetically, before instantly starting to swing again. Part of me wanted to just move on, they seemed to be used to people falling over. Yet, something called me back to the jump rope. So I went around and tried again.

They started slow, just like before. Yet I expected it, so when they sped up I was right with them. Even getting to the point where I was posing between jumps. A peace sign once, a wink another time, a heart sign the third. Soon enough they sped up even more, and I was somehow able to keep up. Holding onto my chest to not cause a tizzy amongst the stuffy business people. Then, without warning or giving me time to the new speed they went even faster. I sensed the rope catch on my ankle, and I closed my eyes in anticipation of another tumble. Yet, I stopped before hitting the ground.

Someone was holding me in their arms. My eyes shot open to the sight of a beautiful woman. Her wavy brown hair fell daintily over her shoulders, and her bright blue eyes stared right into my own. She wore a mature purple eyeshadow, with intense red lipstick that outlined her plump lips. All of that mixed with her stylish red suit, and purple sun hat made me recognize her once I snapped out of my trance.

“M-Mayor Pauline!” I sputtered, a blush covering my cheeks. “Oh I’m so sorry! Was I in your way? Did my jumping disrupt people?”

“No, not at all.” She smiled, and my heart skipped a beat. “I was here on my daily walk, and I caught you just as you were about to fall.”

“Thank you so much!” I hesitantly stood back on my feet, grasping and shaking her hands. “That would’ve been a nasty tumble if it wasn’t for you!”

“I think you two should give her a little more time to get used to your pace. No wonder nobody has gotten one hundred jumps before.” She crossed her arms, but had no anger in her expression.

“You’re right, we just got carried away. Hey, there’s always next time. Promise we won’t trip you over!” One of the women chuckled.

“Here, let’s jump together!” Pauline didn’t let go of my hand.

(This is a sequel to the jump rope story!)

“Miss!”

I stumbled into the sand with a gasp, whining as the hot sand hit my chest. My swimsuit was definitely more for style than function. The citizens of Bubblaine were known for being slow and laid back. Yet the one throwing the volleyball at me was gaining more speed than those ladies holding the jump rope.

“Oh, Dottie!” Peach called out to me. “Are you alright?”

“Yep!” I sprung back to my feet, not wanting my princess to worry. “Lemme try again! I can do it!”

“You’ve gotten quite a lot of sand on you, let me help you clean off.” She was about to stand from her recliner.

“After this turn, okay?” I brushed the sand off of my stomach.

“Can I help?” Tiara’s voice was so tiny that I could barely hear her.

“Of course, though that’s if I miss again.” I wondered if the one throwing the ball would have a problem with that. “You’ll probably get a way higher score, you’re so fast!”

Then, I jumped back into action. Hitting the ball the first couple times with ease. Since it was a beach ball, it often floated daintily in the salty air. At least until the thrower hit the ball with any kind of force. Then it would glide across the sandy court faster than my eyes could follow. After a while I would have to trust my gut and dive wherever the ball was generally headed towards. Once, when my eyes were open I swore that Peach was waving frantically at me. Yet, before I had any time to process what was happening I tripped over again. Sliding across the court and landing on someone’s...feet?

I opened my eyes and nearly choked. Pauline was standing over me, wearing a perfectly fitting red bikini. With subtle, adorable white dots. There was a bow right beneath her chest, drawing my eyes. I gasped, scamblimg to sit up. Now I knew what Peach was trying to tell me. She smiled warmly at me, holding out her hand to help me up.

“T-thank you...” My cheeks burned as red as her swimsuit.

“No problem. Oh, your bikini is adorable! Did you get yours from Lamode too?” She posed cutely, making sure that I got every angle of hers.

“Yeah...oh my god!” I giggled, trying not to stare too much. “That’s so funny! I guess we have the same taste in swimsuits. Red...really suits you though. You’re really pretty.”

“Dottie, you’re so sweet!” She clasped her hands together, grinning. “Well, pink is always flattering on you. I suppose we both look our best in polka dots.”

“H-honestly I’m surprised you noticed my suit past...all the sand.” I blushed, pressing my fingers together.

“Well, that’s normal around here.” She grasped my hand, making my heart flutter. “Oh, this volleyball game is just impossible! I tried to play earlier, but I swear that ball can teleport.”

“Right? I keep thinking I’m gonna do better next time but I’m always tripping over! Say...how about we try together? Well, Tiara asked to play too but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with adding one more.” I played with my hair.

“Oh, I’d love to! The more the merrier!” She hopped onto the court with me, just as Tiara appeared behind us. “Oh, Peach would you like to join?”

“Who, me?” Peach had just finished pushing her chair closer to us. “No thank you, I have the perfect view from over here. Do your best, ladies!”

The game started fast. With all three of us the first throws went by in a flash. Once things started speeding up, everything was much more manageable. Though, I often found myself getting distracted by Pauline. With her silky brown hair, even wavier in the humid air. Intense blue eyes focused on following the ball. Of course, the way her bikini flattered every inch of her body. Yet, I still got a few good hits in there. Eventually, we finally made it to over one hundred hits. Right as I managed to stumble over and fall on my back.

“Dottie! You ok?” Pauline was instantly on her knees beside me, her hand softly pressed to my cheek.

“W-well now I am for sure...” I could barely focus.

“We did it! Nobody has ever seen a score past a hundred!” She pressed a kiss to my cheek. “You did amazing! I swore we’d miss that last throw.”

“When you’re around I’m even more inspired!” I blurted out, the kiss giving me enough energy to sit up.

“Aw...that’s adorable.” She flashed me a wink. “Just like you.”

“Come on girls, let’s go wash off in the water! I hear that the carbonation is amazing for your skin!” Peach seemed just as energized as I was.
