Double Up
NOTE: This is the sequel to Timber's Ultimate Spotlight
C1: The Star Call
Mario came to the castle as soon as he could after he received an urgent message. Luigi was trying his best to catch up. "Hurry, Luigi," called Mario, "this is an urgent message; we have to tell the princess about it as fast as we can." When they both got in, Yoshi was there to tell that his brother, Yotibio, was coming. Mario ignored Yoshi. "I can't stay to listen," Mario said. "There's an important message I have to deliver."
Yoshi sadly drudged out of the castle. Timber saw that Yoshi was depressed. He decided to see what was bothering Yoshi. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Mario always ignores what I have to tell him," Yoshi said. "Sometimes, like now, it's important; but Mario doesn't think that way because he always has other 'important' things to do! I feel so left out." Timber asked what Yoshi had to say, and Yoshi told him that Yotibio was coming. "That IS important!" Timber exclaimed. "We have to tell everyone about this!" Timber & Yoshi sped into the castle.
In the castle, Mario finally got to the throne room. Luigi was trying not to collapse. Unfortunately, he did when he made it to the door of the throne room. How sad, Mario thought. Mario decided to deliver the message by himself. He told Peach about the Star Spirits wanted to see them all for a special task. "They didn't tell me what it was," Mario added, "but when it's from them, it's bound to be very important!" Right when Mario finished, Timber & Yoshi burst through the door. "What is it that you think is important that you want to tell me?" Mario asked. Yoshi told Mario that Yotibio was coming. "I don't have time to help with that," Mario said. "I have much more important things to deal with." Yoshi tried to explain that Yotibio was going to help, but Mario ignored Yoshi. "If that is the way it's going to be, then I'll do this myself!" Yoshi stormed out of the throne room. Mario left to clear his head and to scrape up Luigi who still didn't get up.
Toadsworth followed Mario to talk with him. "Don't you think you took it hard on Yoshi back there? After all, his brother is a visitor to this area." "I guess you're right," Mario said. "I'll go to apologise." Mario went outside to find Yoshi, but he couldn't find him anywhere. "I blew it," Mario thought desolately. "He probably ran off to an unknown area, and it's my entire fault. What am I supposed to do now?"
