Heya guys! Yup, I'm back with a sequel to Being Human!

...Don't look at me like that. I planned this out alongside Being Human, so don't think I'm rushing here!

In...actual fact, this stroy appeared first, but it seemed not to fit into the game's ending. So Being Human was born. This story was going to be the original, but it turned out into a sequel. So...I am going to write a chappy of this (I love the word 'chappy' XD) then go and write a chappy of Yoob's Revenge. Which I have deleted all the chapter's of. You know what? I'm gonna make it into a new story. As there is only one chapter at the moment. It's still gonna be called the same, though...

Anyway, back to this story! We are picking up exactly where we left off from Being Human (ok, maybe an hour into the future, but that's about all!). Go read it before this. You'll get the stroy better and understand why the Mushroom Kingdom is in such a state.

Anyway, enough blabbering on about stuff...LET'S GET THIS STORY GOING!

"Do you have the idea of the direction you are heading in?" Fawful asked. Luigi groaned. Fawful hadn't been quiet for a second since they had decided upon a (very sketchy) plan. The younger Mario brother turned round to the psychopathic Beanbean kid scientist.

"Look, I thought you were leading the way?" Luigi asked exasperatedly. Fawful looked affronted; he peered down the path.

"The woods called Dimble are the ultimate confusion," he said (I STILL CAN'T WRITE ENGRISH! AAAGGGHHH!!!). Luigi sighed and sat on a tree stump.

"Well, we are getting nowhere fast, and we need to get a move on to outpace Bowser's army..." Luigi paused, remembering Starlow. A lump formed in his throat, and he hastily tried to swallow it. He couldn't, though. He could feel himself welling up.

Oh, get a grip on yourself! he thought exasparatedly. But he couldn't. Just thinking of her set off the waterworks. They had been in this godforsaken woods for an hour, and Bowser's army had stopped destroying Toad Town and first had headed to Blubble Lake. Just as Luigi and Fawful had exited the forest there. There had been a tense pause as both parties stared each other down. Then, with a roar, Bowser's army charged, causing Luigi and Fawful to flee. Luigi had picked up Fawful, not listening to his furious protests. Luigi had easily outpaced the army, and they were a good half-hour ahead. But...he had seen Starlow there, again with that Dry Bones and Koopa. Just why were they together? Could it be...that she actually had formed some friends in there? Luigi felt proud and a little sickened at the same time when he had realised this. As if anyone could form a relationship with one of Bowser's lot...then again, she had to infiltrate his castle and army. She was bound to make a few friends along the way; it made her job easier. He dimly registered Fawful sighing exasparatedly at his crying.

"Why do you have the initiation of the waterworks?" he asked, a bit of worry creeping into his voice. He immediately chastised himself for it; him, worrying about this fink-rat? Ha! Luckily for him, Luigi was too busy wiping away his tears to notice.

"No reason...come on, we've got to get ahead," Luigi said in a commanding tone, standing upright. They started down the path, but stopped when they heard a rustle in the trees. They looked around warily.

"Probably just a Treevil or something..." Luigi muttered. They continued walking, hesitantly at first, but gradually picking up pace.

Suddenly, Luigi felt an explosive pain in the back of his head as something heavy smashed into it. He heard Fawful groan and assumed he had had the same experience. He felt himself slip into darkness.

No, not now! he thought frantically. He managed to twist around, trying to catch a glimpse of his attacker.

A grinning Dry Bones and a Koopa.

Luigi woke up groggily, his vision blurred. He had the sensation that he was moving, but wasn't awake enough yet to see how. He noticed someone kneeling in front of him, and he squinted at them, trying to get a better look. The person gasped and quickly stood upright, quickly heading out of his line of sight. Luigi's vision started to clear, and he shook his head to get rid of any fuzziness. He took a quick glance around. He seemed to be in the back of a cart. Since when...did I get into a cart? he thought, unsteadily standing up. He dimly noticed Fawful staring out of the window. Well, not exactly the window - more like a slit in the side of the cart. He heard the clop of hooves, and realised he was in the horse and cart of the Wiggler Family. Fawful looked over at him.

"You have emergence from the nap of peacefulness," was all he said before turning back round to the gap in the side of the cart. Luigi smiled sarcastically at his back.

"Hello to you too," he mouthed at it. He looked out of the slit in the other side of the cart, just in time to catch a glimpse of blonde hair streaming out of view. His heart temporarily stopped. Oh, for GOD'S SAKE! he shouted in his mind. It...may have just been Bowser carrying Peach...

But he didn't believe that.

The cart rumbled to a stop, causing Luigi to stumble and trip, landing on his front. He dimly registered Fawful snorting, and, growling at him, stood upright, brushing off the front of his overalls. A side door opened, and a Dry Bones and a Koopa entered. The Dry Bones was wielding a hammer not unlike Luigi's, whereas the Koopa had nothing. They leered at the two captives.

"Enjoyed the trip?" the Koopa said, and the Dry Bones sniggered. Luigi's eyes widened.

"You-you two! You were the two that captured us!" he gasped. The Koopa nodded, looking pleased with himself.

"Yup. Bruce and Annabella here," he said, motioning first to himself, then at the Dry Bones. The Dry Bones frowned.

"Bruce. You know to call me Anna," she said softly, raising the hammer up ever-so-slightly. Bruce paled.

"S-sorry, Anna. Forgot in all this," he apologised, sweeping his hand to signify Luigi and Fawful as 'all this'. Anna 'harrumphed' and turned away, twirling her hammer absent mindedly. Luigi allowed himself a brief grin before dropping it. He took a deep breath and sighed...

"So. What am I in for?"

I expanded this chappy as it was TOO SHORT. Only about 500 words. Which is not a lot. So I decided to put this scene in, which I was going to keep until next chapter but put it in now to expand it.

So, REVIEW, PEOPLE! (Age old repertoire there, but y'know...time grows old. And that made no sense whatsoever :)
