-Chapter 2 AND 3 (a Christmas treat for all of you
)- The strange Shroom.
Mario finally arrives in Toad Town after a while of walking. There are
other Toads talking about business and such. There are also kids
playing in the street and on the grass, happily enjoying there day.
Then, Mario sees the Toad Town grocery. But, there are many officers
around the area. Mario rushes over to see what is going on.
"Mama Mia! What happened here??!" Mario asked one of the officers
"Mario!! Thank Peach you're here! There was a robbery here last night! Someone stole all the Mushrooms!" The officer says
"Oh No! What are we gona do!?" Mario asked
"You shouldn't worry about what to do next. I'm taking the case" a voice said from behind Mario
Mario then looked around to see who had answered his question. It was a familiar face.
"Pennington! Its been months! How have you been?" Mario asked
"Just fine, thanks for asking. I was on vacation here in Toad Town when I saw this ghastly sight." Pennington said
"Well, who do you think did this?" The officer asked Pennington
"Well, I still don't have a lead on anyone yet, so it could be anyone." Pennington answered
"Well, this stinks. All I wanted was a good old Mushroom to a-fill my hunger needs" Mario complained
"Well, I'm sorry Mario, but there's nothing I can do about that." Pennington answered sadly
"Okay, I guess I'll-a see ya later Pennington. Good luck on the case" Mario said
"And good luck on your hunger my good friend" Pennington told Mario
Mario then walked off in the other direction, still sad about his
hunger. He then walks near a shady counter, with a lone hooded koopa.
Mario sees the stand under a tree and decides to walk over and check it
out. Mario then sees that the Koopa has a Mushroom. Mario gets excited
and asks the vender.
"How-a much for the Mushroom??!!" Mario asked
The vender looks shockingly at Mario
"Well, a customer, and a famous one at that! Your my first customer
since I set up a week ago! And uh... oh yes the Mushroom." the vender
said
The vender then looks at Mario strangely
"This is a very rare Mushroom. In fact it can make your vital organs and muscles stronger!" the vender tells Mario
"Well, I guess I'll take it. How many coins is it?" Mario asked
"Why it can be yours for just 20 coins" The vender said with a quick smirk
Mario then though for a bit. He knew that there had to be a trick,
because a Mushroom that incredible couldn't have been less than 100
coins. But then Mario thought that Bowser had not been causing any
trouble for awhile, so what were the chances that Bowser could have
done something? Mario's hunger kept him from thinking straight, so he
decided to take the Mushroom.
"Okay, I'll take the Mushroom" Mario decided
"Excellent, that'll be 20 coins" The vender said with a smirk
Mario gives the vender the 20 coins and gets the Mushroom in return.
Mario then tips his hat in thanks to the vender, and walks back to the
castle.
"Heya Bro. What took you so long?" Luigi said as he welcomed back Mario
"Well, there was a robbery at the Toad Town grocery, so there were no
Mushrooms there. So I decided to but this Mushroom from a clerk outside
the shop instead. Where is the princess?" Mario told Luigi.
"Shes asleep in her room. And should we do something about the robbery?" Luigi asked Mario.
"No, Pennington was there and he decided to take the case" Mario answered Luigi
Mario then took out the Mushroom and held it over his head.
"Well, time to finally fulfill my quest!" Mario said happily
With saying that, Mario gulped don the entire Mushroom with just a bite.
"Well, that wasn't so-a bad, maybe I should-"
Before Mario could finish, he clutched his stomach and fainted.
"MMMMAAARRRIIOOO!!!!!" Luigi yelled at the top of his lungs
-Chapter 3- The Pill Problem.
Luigi scream has alerted everyone in Princess Peaches castle. Guards
and eventually the princess come running to the scene of the scream.
The guards see a ghastly sight, Mario is on the ground passed out, with
Luigi crying next to him.
"What happened here?" Peach asked Luigi
Luigi stops his crying for a minute to answer the Princess's question.
"Well, Mario was tellin' me a story about-a him going to Toad Town, and there was some stand and some guy with something that..."
Luigi's starts talking to fast for the princess to understand what
Luigi is saying. After a few seconds Luigi starts crying again. The
Princess assumes that Luigi is done talking, so she says..
"Luigi! Calm down! and slowly tell me what happened to Mario."
"Well, Mario ate a weird Mushroom, and he fainted and now.."
Before Luigi can finish, he starts crying again. The princess gets mad about Luigi crying
"LUIGI!"
She then slaps Luigi. Luigi immediately stops crying
"Hes your Brother!! You have to stop crying and HELP HIM!!!
The Princess sops yelling. All of the guards and workers look at the Princess strangely. The Princess starts to laugh.
"Wow sorry. Was I really yelling like that?" The Princess asks jokingly.
"Well, we gotta help-a my Brother! But what are-a we gona do?" Luigi asks
Everybody starts to think for a bit. They cannot come uo with anything
"Well, I think I have a solution" A voice says from behind the crowd of people
"Pennington! What are-a you doing here?" Luigi asks Pennington
"Well, I came to work on my case because I think I have a lead on who
broke into the Toad Town grocery, and I came here to tell Mario. But
now I see that he is not in the mood to help me solve some crime."
Pennington tells Luigi
The Princess then tells Pennington what happened.
"Well, Mario was in Toad Town when he saw a stange stand. He apparently ate a Mushroom from the stand, and now where here."
"Hm, that is quite a problem. What did the Mushroom look like?" Pennington asked
"Well, it look like a regular Mushroom, except it had blueish green spots" Luigi tells Pennington
'Hmm, I suspect it had to be a defected Mushroom. Well I would go look
for the crook who sold this thing to Mario, but we need to help Mario
first." Pennington says
"Yes, we need to find a way to heal Mario, but how?" Peach asks
"That's where my plan comes in. Mario used to be a doctor right? So, he
must have virus busting pills. Now if we could find these pills we
could use them to fix Mario." Pennington says
"Good idea, I think I now where the pills are." Peach says
"In the Medical room right your highness? I'll go get them!" A toad says
The Toad then runs of to get the pills. He arrives a minute later
"Here they are everybody!" The Toad says
"Thank you. Now we can help Mario!" Peach says
"But, whose-a gona use-a the pills?" Luigi asks
Peach and Pennington look at Luigi. Soon after all of the guards and workers look at Luigi.
"Okay, I-a get it. I'll-a use the pills. But gimme a minute okay?"
Luigi then runs to his room in the castle. He comes down wearing a Doctors uniform.
"Its-a me, Dr. Luigi!" Luigi says
"Why nice clothes Luigi. Now here are the pills." Pennington says as he gives the pills to Luigi
Luigi then stands next to Mario with the pills motion-less.
"Um Luigi, is there a problem?" Peach asks Luigi
"Well, kind-a." Luigi says
"And what is the problem?" Pennington asks
"Well, um... How do you use these?!!?"
