FAMILY REUNION

Grodus was sitting in his office until a X-Naut rushed in.

"Dude! I mean Grodus! Mario's in the hideout!"

He got up, "You know what to do," he said. "Release.. the Bob-ombs."

So the X-Naut ran to a giant door and pressed a button. 'Boop!' went the button. Just then, about one hundred Bob-ombs ran out of a room and started bumping into each other and some started to explode.

"Okay, bomby dudes! Find Mario and destroy him!" the X-Naut commanded.

Meanwhile, Mario and Bobbery were walking through the hideout to find Peach.

"Well, old boy," Bobbery said, "I hope you have an idea of where we're going."

Mario shrugged, and continued walking. Suddenly there was a loud rumbling noise. Mario and his partner hid behind a giant cardboard box to protect themselves from whatever it was. The group of Bob-ombs ran by the box, until one of them shouted, "STOP!"

They all stopped.

"We're never going to find Mario this way!" the one Bob-omb said, "How about half of you look over there, and half of you look over there?"

"Who died and made you boss?" a Bob-omb said.

"We don't have to listen to you!"

"I have to go to the washroom."

Mario and Bobbery were listening to the conversation and were staying silent, until Mario started sniffing. He tried to cover his nose, but it was too late, he sneezed.

"MARIO! AFTER HIM!"

They both ran, while some of the Bob-ombs started exploding or chasing them. They ran down corridor after corridor until they were lost. The group of Bob-ombs that were left had pinned them to a wall, and before they all exploded, that same Bob-omb said...

"STOP!"

"What now?" the rest of them said.

"It's.. it's...is it really you, Bobbery?"

"What do you mean 'is it really me'?" he said. "Do I know you?"

"I'm.. your.. I'M YOUR BROTHER, BOBBERY!"

Everyone gasped. Even a nearby X-Naut gasped. Bobbery had a surprised expression on his face and he finally sputtered out, "B-Barry? Barry Bob-omb? It is you!"

They hugged each other (or tried to with their lack of arms) and started to cry. Mario scratched his head in confusion, but the rest of the Bob-ombs cheered.

"This is my chum Mario," Bobbery said pointing to him, "Me and him have been on a quest to save a princess, and it has gone quite well."

"I still can't believe it's you! Remember the time we blew up the house and we had to move?" Barry said,

"Of course I do! Mom and dad were having a fit that day."

They continued talking for hours, until Mario switched to his Yoshi partner and walked away.

"Hey, what about Bobbery? Ain't he your partner, too?" the Yoshi asked.

Mario was still silent. He thought maybe his Bob-omb would rather remember memories then save Peach.

THE END
