Rosalina's Story: Difference between revisions

'''Rosalina's Story''',<!--Please do not change it to Rosalina's Storybook unless you give a source--><ref>[[List of Super Mario Galaxy trading cards|''Super Mario Galaxy'' trading card]]</ref> while never explicitly stated, is the story of how [[Rosalina]] made it into outer space and how she became the "mother" of the [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s prior to the events of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. In the [[Comet Observatory]]'s [[Library (Super Mario Galaxy)|Library]], Rosalina sometimes reads from the '''storybook''' to the Lumas traveling with her. [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] can come in to listen to the story. In all, the storybook contains nine chapters.

|style="text-align:left"|''"I forgot to bring water!" At this, [[Luma (character)|Luma]] burst into gales of laughter, and the girl began to pout. "As long as I have [[Star Bit]]s, I'll be fine," said Luma. "Want some?" The little girl couldn't stay mad after hearing this.

Thinking it was the morning sun, [[Rosalina|the girl]] peered through the window, only to find a turquoise blue [[Prankster Comet|comet]] shimmering at her. The little girl shook the sleeping [[Luma (character)|Luma]] awake and shouted excitedly, "We HAVE to get to that comet!"

|style="text-align:left"|''When she awoke, the girl's face was damp with tears. "You have [[Star Bit]]s in your eyes!" said [[Luma (character)|Luma]] to the girl. Wiping her face, the girl replied, "These are tears, not Star Bits. I'm crying because I'll never see my mother ever again!" At this, Luma began to cry too. "Mama, oh, Mama... waaaah!"

|style="text-align:left"|''"The [[Kitchen (Super Mario Galaxy)|Kitchen]] will go here, and the [[Library (Super Mario Galaxy)|library]] will go over there," [[Rosalina|the girl]] said busily to herself. "We'll put the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|gate]] here." Ever since the girl took [[Luma (character)|Luma]] under her care, she'd been bustling about at a feverish pace. "It's a lot of work, but it's worth it to make a happy home." It turned out that [[Star Bit]]s weren't the only things buried in the ice. There were tools and furniture unlike any they had ever seen, and the girl used them to build [[Comet Observatory|a home]].

|style="text-align:left"|''Then one day, while [[Rosalina|the girl]] sat sipping tea, a tiny apricot-colored planet appeared on the horizon. From the planet, another [[Luma (species)|Luma]] of the same color emerged. "Do you two know each other?!" the girl asked the two Lumas gleefully. Despite the girl's excitement, they seemed uneasy.

|style="text-align:left"|''"I want to go home! I want to go home right now!" The girl burst into tears, and the [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] didn't know what to do. "I want to go home! I want to go back to my house by the hill! I want to see my mother!" The girl was shouting now, her face wet with tears. "But I know she's not there! I knew all along that she wasn't out there in the sky! Because...because..."

|style="text-align:left"|''Though usually quite cheery, one day [[Rosalina|the girl]] became sad again. [[Luma (character)|Luma]] drew close and tried to comfort her. "Mama, you still have me!" "And don't be sad about your mama, because she's a part of you! That means she's always close by!" "It's like me. I love [[Star Bit]]s because they remind me of my mama." "No...no..." the girl said, unable to stop the tears.

|style="text-align:left"|''The girl could scarcely believe her eyes. "But...how?" she kept asking. "Our destiny as [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] is to transform into different things," said a red Luma who had suddenly appeared. "Stars, comets, planets... We can become all of these things!" "When I grow up, I want to become a star that makes someone special smile," said a green Luma. A blue Luma chimed in, "That Luma turned into a real cutie of a comet, didn't he!"

|style="text-align:left"|''With its many [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] and telescopes, the [[Comet Observatory|comet]] was quite a sight to behold. [[Rosalina|The girl]] and the Lumas were proud to call it home. At a welcoming party for a new Luma, the girl gathered everyone in the [[Kitchen (Super Mario Galaxy)|Kitchen]] and said in a louder voice than usual... "All right, everyone! Let's make a cake! A cake sprinkled with [[Star Bit]]s! Then it will be a star cake!" The Lumas excitedly began to gather the ingredients.

*The starship that is mentioned many times throughout the story appears to be the [[Starshroom]] that the [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] built with the [[Toad Brigade|Toad]]s in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It differs, though, since it has no glass in the portholes/windows. It can be seen, moss-covered, in the extra credits sequence, after 120 Power Stars have been obtained.
