Dry Bowser was taking a stroll through Bygone Island, enjoying the weather as he watched Dr. Eggman flying away in his busted Eggmobile, the skeletal reptile rubbing his chin as he became interested, being right by the sea on the beach.
"Hmm... wonder what's his deal for taking off..." Dry Bowser commented as he glanced down to see Sticks The Badger hissing up at him.
"That's right! And stay out!" Sticks exclaimed as she chucked a boomerang at Eggman, hitting him in the head.
"Oww! Hey, you already won, leave me alone!" Eggman snapped as he shook his fist angrily.
Sticks scoffed as she shook her butt at the doctor, with Dry Bowser approaching her as he folded his bony arms together.
"So, what's your deal?" Dry Bowser commented as he looked down at the badger girl.
"What's it to you, bonehead? Are you one of the government spies?" Sticks hissed as she raised her boomerang.
Dry Bowser squinted his eyes. "What? No. I'm just enjoying myself as anyone in this village would."
"Hmm..." Sticks commented as she sniffed Dry Bowser, scratching her left ear as she still had a skeptical look. "...you seem clean. All right, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt."
"Thanks, I guess...?" Dry Bowser commented in confusion as he didn't know what to make of Sticks, deciding to keep the tone simple for her to understand as he felt that she was a bit too crazy for her own good.
