(Hehe I love this so much I'm gonna add a little epilogue 💕)

The Boo Queen happily took some of the jewels in her hands and held them up to the moonlight.

"Oh, darling! Look! Aren't they beautiful? How very thoughtful of Mary!"

She was met with silence.

This made her gently place the gems back in the box and turn her attention back to her booloved. He looked quite troubled.

"My love...? Do you want me to close the present back up? You don't have to partake in it if you don't want-"

"No, it's not that. I..."

The ghastly King carefully picked up a glittery piece of paper folded into a heart. He looked solemn for a moment before a tiny smile played at his lips.

As quick as it was there, however, it was gone again, replaced with an exasperated grimace as he examined the rest of the contents. (He did place the heart aside though.)

"It's nothing."

"Ohhhhh no. I know that tone. What were you thinking just now? You almost looked... Pleased."

The King's brow shot up at the accusation, but he couldn't help but smile at his lovely wife. She always effortlessly quelled any negative emotions he was feeling. The calm to his storm, many would say.

He sighed and shook his head, looking down at a little fuzzy worm on a string he had taken from the box. It was white with pink eyes.

"She truly is a child. Much like our own children."

The queen smiled fondly up at her precious husband, sweetly snuggling up to him as he spoke. She nodded, as if approving his statement.

"Yes, she's just a small thing trying to make amends it seems. Showing kindness in her own way and what not?"

"With useless junk?"

"Love! What if she heard you saying something like that?"

The king poked his tongue out playfully at his queen, who nudged him in response and rolled her eyes with a smile. He was partially jesting. It was hard for him to think of a use for the contents of the box, yes, but the gesture...

"Perhaps..."

"Perhaps?"

"ᴾᵉʳʰᵃᵖˢ ᴵ ˢʰᵒᵘˡᵈ ˢᵃʸ ᵗʰᵃⁿᵏ ʸᵒᵘ."

"My dear Phantom?! You're serious?"

"As the plague."

He smirked, and chuckled a bit. Ah, the plague.

Still though, he did feel this annoyingly persistent urge in his ghostly heart to repay this strange kindness. Mary truly was just a child, like Lucy and Vesper. Perhaps raising children of his own had softened the ghost to younglings just a touch.

That didn't mean he had to be completely nice to the little nuisance. She did put a wrench in his master plan that night, but alas...that awful stinging desire to show her the tiniest of kindness lingered.

Queenie simply smiled up at him, knowing exactly the struggle he was going through in that pretty head of his.

"My lovely?"

"Yes, my spooky heart?"

"Have you perhaps considered little Mary dear is a bit like the small Boos that play around the mansion? Just little things trying to live in this odd life."

King Boo grumbled in response. Likening Mary to something he was so terribly fond of felt foreign to the spectre king. He huffed, and closed his eyes, patting his wife's hand in a decisive way.

"We'll say thank you...in our own ways just as she did."

Queenie raised a brow at him in suspicion, but smiled warmly all the same. She did so adore that little smirk of mischief so often seen on her darling's face in times like this. There it was!

"I'll do anything if I can see you smile like that."

______________________________________

"Delivery for Ms. Mary!"

Hellen, the fashionable owner of the Last Resort Hotel answered the call at the door. She opened it to find a little orange ghost with a mail cap on their head. They saluted before disappearing into thin air.

She looked down and spotted the delivery itself. A strange looking box wrapped in metallic shimmering hues of blue and purple.

One look at the card attached made her smile...and then scowl. She'd make sure the precious parcel got to Mary still and all.

She had just shut the door when Mary zoomed down the grand staircase and skidded to a stop in front of her. The sight made the ghost woman smile fondly.

"OOOOOH DID I GETS A PACKAGE WHAT IS IT WHAT IS IT"

"Yes, it seems you got a very important and special something straight from the-"

She let out a huff and rolled her eyes.

"Ruling monarchy. Will you be opening it yourself? Or shall I-"

"GIMME!!!!!!!!"

Before Hellen could finish her thought, the pretty present was swiped from her hands giddily. She shook her head with a little smile as she watched Mary excitedly tear open the gift.

Immediately, and very startlingly, a big, round boo popped out at her and laughed loudly. Seems it had been spring-loaded like a jack in the box.

It was holding a small card.

It read:

"Dear little Mary,

I have no doubt this package will find you well. I sent my most capable mailghost, you know! My King and I wanted to thank you for the lovely gift you gave us, so we thought we'd send you a few nice things. Do be careful though! My darling had the most treacherous grin while wrapping everything up. I suspect he's laid a few surprises in here for you as well~

Thank you for including things for him in your present, by the way. I promise, he really does care for all of ghostkind, he simply becomes blinded with rage when beset by that awful scientist. He says things he often regrets later, though he'd never admit such a thing. He'd even deny it! Don't let him fool you. (And don't tell him I told you that!)

I truly appreciate your presence. Thank you for being such a delightful ambassador. Oh! And happy Boo-Year! ☆

With upmost frightfulness,

Queen Boo"

There was a small message following the Queen's letter scribbled in a rushed cursive hand in purple ink.

"Enjoy your gift, little annoyance."

It looked like Queenie had drawn a stern looking frowny face next to the sentence, and King Boo had signed it off with an evil little grinning doodle.

Aside from the card, the box itself was filled with sparkling pink tissue paper. When folded away, it revealed the true presents inside.

There was a gorgeous new winter coat, deep pink in color with luxurious faux fur lining the inside. Two little fluffy hearts dangled on the drawstrings. It was just Mary's size, if not a tad bit bigger.

Under that, less considerately placed, rather tossed haphazardly was a small plush unicorn. Though it's seams were scattered all over the place and one of its eyes had been replaced with a button, it was clearly made with good intentions. Repurposed from an old doll laying around the clockwork room, no doubt. Not a trace of magic though. It was completely handmade.

Next to the unicorn were a pair of sparkly pink fairy wings, the kind used for child's play and make believe, and an old, tattered storybook.

Inside the book laid yet another card scribbled on with doodles and smiley faces.

It read:

"Dear friend Mary!

My name is Lucy! I have a little brother named Vesper, that's who the book is from! I'm a liiiiitttle younger than you, but I was hoping we could be friends? Pretty please? Do you like the wings? I picked those out! Mama told me about your much cooler sounding ones but I hope you like these ones too. Oopsie! Vesper wants to say something! Hold on!"

The next bit was written in very neat green lettering. The ink glittered a bit.

"Dear Ms. Mary,

I hope you like the storybook. It's from my own personal collection. I had two, so you can have this one. Come visit the mansion sometime, please. I'd like to meet you with my sister if possible! Forgive my future manners, I'm told I'm rather shy.

With hope,

Vesper (and Lucy!)"

That was the end of the presents.

(Happy New year and thank you for thinking of me and my king ♡ Never stop creating, because if you don't make the things you do, who will?)

Why do you dislike her so?

WRITING THINGY FOR @queenieboo22 / @queen-of-the-boos !!!!!!!! I HAD A BIG FLASH OF MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION!!!!!!

Summary:The king and queen of spectre kind relax for the night,and so they have themselves a little chat!! This leads to them talking about the young ambassador,someone the queen likes,but the king isn’t too fond of…that so leads into why his royal spookiness hates her guts!!!!!!!!!

•It was a chilly,brisk winter night on the balcony,but the cold didn’t exactly bother the royally scary couple too much!!! Such is when you’re a ghost and in love with,rule over,and are basically an honorary ghost!!!! But that still didn’t stop these two from grabbing some warm stuff to snack on,a few baked goods,hot chocolate,all the nice,cozy things that a living beibg would need in these times much more than the dead. But feeling good is part of living…in a metaphorical sense!!

King Boo held his darling wife’s hands as the waltzed around the balcony,both giggling to themselves in delight!! Could those two even BE more in love?!

“But truly!!! I must say you shown that Koopa his place after he tried to run out all the remaining spectres from the nearby haunted acres,my dear…” The spectral king cooed,his crown jewel shining brightly in the moonlight along with it’s bright magenta glow

“Ohhh,it wasn’t like it was a chore or anything!! I could’ve done that anyway-!!” Queenie tried to brush it off,looking away,but her husboond quickly,yet gently turned her head back to his direction,holding her face in his stubby hand

“I won’t hear any of it. You only further proved to that poor sap that we won’t be tolerating any ill will towards our kind~!! That’s very noble of you,might I add…”

A deep blush was strewn across Queenie’s face as she giggled,bordering on cackling with joy!! Why,he knew just what to say!!!!

*As the two continued to dance,the king noticed a box within the corner,wrapped up in a sparkly,fuchsia wrapping paper,right in the corner of the room…it piqued his interest*

“Moonshard?? Was that…always there-??”

“Oh,this??” Queenie turned her attention to the box as well,temporarily ceasing her dance with him to pick it up

“Mary left here,of course!! She just wanted to give something to say thank you for us helping with the recent influx of ghostbusters coming to The Last Resort!!! Isn’t that ni- …Boo-Bear??”

Queenie was cut off by seeing her sweet king’s face turn to that of a scowl at the mention of Mary and The Last Resort. It was clear as day he didn’t exactly like either,especially not the little ambassador. The queen hugged,placing the glittery box down near the table,before grasping her lover’s hand,dragging him inside with her

“Now now,she’s only being nice,you know!!”

“Yes,yesss…I’m aware-“

*The queen did happen to think seeing him pout from frustration was adorable,but now that she thought about it…she couldn’t help but wonder…why? Why did he dislike Mary so much?? Sure,being at The Hotel may have put a bad first impression for them both,but it seemed…different,like something else was up. Should she pry?”

“I mean REALLY-!! She just keeps coming around here!!! For “ViSiTs!!!!!”!!” The king said,trying to replicate her high pitched tone of voice,causing him to cough from even attempting

“Sweetie Boo??”

“Ah…yesssss????”

“Why do you have such gripes with the ambassador?”

“…what-??”

Queenie giggled with endearment at her husband’s confusion,before seeing his face turn to that of curiosity to why she even asked such a thing

“He I’m merely want to ask why is it that you dislike Mary so much!! I’ve…actually been quite curious for a while,you see…”.

Of course,Queenie actually liked Mary rather well. Even during the first time coming to the hotel,they got along great!! Perhaps for that they shared a similar situation,being alive yet still loving spectrekind and wanting to protect them from the cruelty of ghost hunting. Perhaps Mary just managed to be convincing enough to make her think she WASN’T a little pest- …wait,that second might be his rage talking for him…never mind!!

“Ah,well…I mean- there’s a lot,really…really I could go on about the little vermin and her confusing antics-“

“…”

“I mean- I could go on about THE…lovely…ambassador…and what she does…I believe-“ he seemed to choke up on the “lovely” part… King tried not talk to venomously about Mary around Queenie,as she tried to attempt to get him to be nicer to her,but still…it just…slips out!!!

“Well,I’ll be willing to listen!!! We have all night,don’t we…?”

“…I…I suppose we do,yes-“ Did she really want to hear him rant about Mary??? Was this so she could get to the bottom of it?? Was Lune just curious about it? How was he supposed to know?! Well…there’s nothing else to do but spill the beans!!

“Ahhh,I…don’t know where to start. I still remember when we first met…at the hotel. Now she didn’t seem like too much,I hadn’t paid much mind to her…but I only got the feeling she was…curious.” He stated,looking up at the stars as the twinkled above,watching some oddly spectre shaped clouds float along…

“You’d be a fool to be fooled by her cheery,smiley,innocence,I tell you!! She had IDEAS”.

The queen only huffed with endearment and familiarity,finding it a bit funny that her king talked about her like she was some despicable crime boss…

“She started barging to change the plans,you seen it for yourself,haven’t you??”

“What do you mean?”

“We were discussing plans,and then she just had to BUTT IN!!”

Well,yes,she did remember. Mary was only really trying to defend Hellen when times got tough. The little girl only wanted to stand up for those she cared for. Thankfully,Queenie was on better terms with Hellen and vice versa,but King Boo still had bones to pick with Miss Gravely,as she did with him!!

King Boo may have been…twisting the story to make himself seem more benevolent compared to the small ambassador,who he made sound like some sort of…obstacle!! Now whether he was doing this intentionally or just impulsively? That was to be figured out,but the boo queen saw right through it.

“She was DEMANDING me to be nicer to… Gravely…tch- and what if I didn’t-??”

“Now,now…”

Queenie handed some more hot chocolate to her king,watching as his face turned from rage within his rants,to softening as he saw the mug of cozy cocoa goodness be handed to him by someone hs adored

“Why don’t you have a sip? It’s still quite warm!!”

“…Th-Thank you, Luniepop…” he smiled tenderly before taking a sip out of the warm drink. OOOHH,his tender,blissful smile as he drank it!!! It was enough to send her heart melting like ice cream in Sarasahland!!!! Why,he looked so sweet no matter what he did….

“…And ANOTHER THING!!!!!” He said,after gently slamming his emptied mug down on the coffee table “The little runt was intruding on my plans!! OUR plans!!!”

Ohhh,now she remembers. When it was found out that King Boo planned to steal the hotel all this time for her anniversary gift rather than merely rent it out for her….Mary was the first to discover that and she got…very upset. Justifiably so!!! And so,the young girl not knowing much else to do,and the king wanting this plan to go smoothly. They scuffled!!! They had before,but this was a bit of a bigger one!!!

“She just came charging at me,RAMPAGING!!!” King Boo cried,talking very dramatically,like he was acting in a way. Once again,making Mary sound like she was unfair unjust,when she was only trying to defend her home

“But…I certainly took care of it,didn’t I? Bwhehehehehhh…”

Ah,yes. That time she walked in on seeing the king dangle Mary by her leg during his monologging ,that confused,toothy smile on his face as he was caught in the act.

“Eheheh…alright,maybe that was a poor choice of words- BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS!!!”

Soon enough, they’d be talking about a part the two didn’t didn’t like touching on. The Last Resort almost being destroyed. They have talked about it before,and both were aware of it. But there’s no need to drive across the same road over and over!! Lune shifted position,laying her face in her hands as she looked up at the her booloved king

“Then came the final battle,the last attempt to capture that pesky,green clad plumber. Mary followed up all the way up there too…trying to get that canister of the captured hotel dwellers,I suppose…”

And then,his face turned to look a bit less vitriolic.

“Of course,the pipsqueak had enough once I went on about calling everyone in the staff useless…I still remember how she screamed at me!! How she stomped up to me and…scolded me.”

It was honestly surprising seeing Mary so enraged at him. Of course it was bound to happen…the poor thing must have been sick of the ongoing scenario. Just wanting to get the king away from here,to have the hotel back,to get her family back…

…That rung close to home for Queenie. Of course,she had her own run in’s with E.Gadd that left her familiar with that feeling. She remembers. The empty plot where the mansion once sat. The lack of spectres,all taken away from her. Alone. Left with nothing while Luigi and that rotten turnip of a scientist got off Scott free after taking all she loved…terrible,awful memories.

Of course,she got everyone back and showed that dastardly scientist what for!!! But her point still stands…she completely understood where Mary was coming from. Besides,you couldn’t be too mad at her anyway!! She was just a little girl.

“I’m sure you know the rest. How I brought the painting to a size yet to be seen…how it almost ripped the tower into rubble…” the tone in his voice sounded…almost regretful

He still remembered Mary’s face as he did this. The tears streaming down her face as they too got sucked into the painting,how she clung to the roof of the hotel,the complete disbelief on her face as everything seemed to be crashing down…

Only for the event to happen. Was that part not discussed yet?

How her eyes started let out a sun-like, bright glow of pink,her mouth showing that same bright glow. How she began to float in the air. How huge,feathery looking wings made of pure light,also glowing that same bright fuchsia sprouted from her back.

This was a very rare event to occur. Mary’s sheer emotion,her passion and sorrow happened to have her somehow channel the spectral energy from his crown jewel through her very body. The paranormal energy radiating off the painting sealed right into her. The poor thing wasn’t in control,she acted purely in instinct,with one goal set.

Be rid of the king. Save the hotel. Save everyone.

“…”

“Do you wish not to talk about the rest?”

“…I’m not so sure.”

Mary was…almost frightening in this form. She soared after the king,and at one point,took control of the portrait,aiming it directly at him. This was what sent the king to flee.

But she didn’t directly try to capture him,mind you!! It was only to make him get as far from The Last Resort As possible. And it worked,for sure

Of course,this wasn’t Mary. That was pure phantasmic energy,using her as a conduit to help her save the hotel,her sheer emotion channeling it through her!! She would’ve never pointed that portrait at him or ANYONE if she had just a bit more control!! Why,she doesn’t even remember what happened. All she heard was others accounts of the event.

What she did know was that the hotel was safe,she freed the spectres from the container they were put in,and everything was safe. That’s when she woke up anyway,somehow safe in bed,surrounded by her family of hotel running ghosts. That’s what she recalled to Queenie,anyway!!!

“We needn’t verbally touch on it!! One time was more than enough,I bet…”

“Most certainly!! Fufufuuhhh…”.

Queenie understood Mary had no control over what happened. But she was glad everything was safe. Really,she was happy that Mary didn’t have to go through what she did the first time Luigi came sucking up spectres left and right!! It was terrifying,being so lost and alone,without anyone by your side,having everything taken right from your very own hands…Lune never wanted to experience that again,and she certainly didn’t want Mary to,either. No one deserved such a fate.

But,King Boo…felt angry. At Mary,yes,but also at himself for the fact that he didn’t even go down with a fight. He just…flee’d!! Like a coward!! LIKE LUIGI!!!!! Well,Luigi may not be coward,but HE DOESN’T CARE,HE WILL CALL GREEN STACHE WHATEVER HE WANTS!!!

“Boo-Bear…” The queen gently caressed her spectral lover’s face with her gloves hand

“You were not a coward by getting out of there. Ghost all around the world still needed you,and it was good you were still there to be there for them!!”

“…”

“…You…ARE aware that you weren’t a actually going to be-“

“That little girl is deemed a hero. For being rid of me. What’s that supposed to say about me?!”

The king hung his head/body in shame. Of course they both comforted EACHOTHER,and Queenie would always make sure the king knew he was a great ruler,even if not everyone was a fan of him…

“Sweetie Boo,you were caught in the heat of the moment…”

“She gets to just PUSH me away…after I!! I…”

Before he could say anything else,you wrapped your arms around him in an tight,loving embrace. The king finally shushed up…looking surprised…yet comforted

“You’re still the best king spectrekind could have around,I assure you!!!! You’ve done so much,and so many of us out there are grateful we still have you around!!”

“…”

*He said nothing more,only wrapping his arms around you in a loving embrace. Ohh,he could never begin to physically state just how much he adored you!! You’ve made him feel like he had a heart that could beat,and if he did,it would beat faster than freight train when you’re around!!”

“…Thank you,my dearest moonshard. My darling boo queen…thank you,cupcake…I love you”

*Ths queen smiled warmly,her heart full of love for her king. Oh,how the two complimented the other so perfectly. How they both made each other feel even more whole than they already did otherwise…”

“…I love you too!!! I always will…forever”

The two held each other in a warm,cozy embrace,and they’d stay that way,until the king turned his gaze back to the box Mary left.

“Say…haven’t you opened it yet?”

“You actually wish to see what Mary left us?”

“Sure,why not…” he smirked,before floating over to the brightly decorated box,putting it between him and Lune,before unwrapping it…

Confetti and glitter spewed out of the box,covering the two lovers and their bed,with the sound of a party favour blaring from it.

But when they looked inside,it showed….

A set of rings,both coloured in rich shades of blue and purple,with hints of bright green,made from a whole heaping of materials,random crafting supplies like pops cleaners and wool…though somehow,actual metal and jewels,which she probably asked someone if she could use…

Along came with a drawing of the two…

“THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!” -Mary

It wasn’t event meant for just Queenie. She still thought of the king. Even after everything,even though he despises her,even after he…probably still will hate her after this. But still…

#im touched youd take the time to write a little fanficy thing like this #treasure the kind words from my king #hes most likely going to go back to antagonizing you once you see eachother again #also my kiddos wanted to say hi!!!! i bet they think youre super cool!#Mary tag
