Madz and Starlow 11 is right here! I'm not going to make any characters sick in here…or maybe I will. For the past few days, I've been thinking of Madz with a stomach bug. Poor Madz, her stomach doesn't feel so good. That's not in this fanfiction, or any fanfiction! Unless you want it to be in a fanfiction, but I doubt that. Here's the first chapter!
Once a month, Dr. Toadley gets the night and day shift. He had control over the working hours, but he thought the night was relaxing once in a while. Since it wasn't as busy as it was in the daytime, he occasionally had a few minutes of free time at night.
One night, he pulled out a book from the top of his desk. He glanced at the door, then back at his book. With a shrug, he opened the book. It was filled with newspaper articles that he collected back when he was still in medical school. Someone else helped him find them, but he hasn't seen him in a while.
As he was reading about when the Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom, he heard a voice from the door.
"Doctor Toadley?"
He quickly closed the book and turned around. It was just his intern, but she looked concerned. What does she want? he thought.
"Am I wondering what you are here for? I certainly am. Why are you here? I don't know,"
She walked up to Dr. Toadley and sighed. "Well, I am using the money you give me for my family. They feel like I'm giving them only a little amount of money, and…um…"
Getting a bit irritated, he interrupted, "What do you mean? I don't really know"
"I want a raise!" she yelled, who was also a bit annoyed.
He chuckled for a few seconds before calming down. He then looked at the intern like she said something ridiculous.
"A raise? Will I give you that? I won't,"
The intern got even more irritated. Offended, she replied, "What are you saying?! My family needs that money!"
Unlike other Toads, Dr. Toadley didn't know much about emotions. That weakness was known to make Toads that were just a little blue start crying in only minutes. Anger was just another one of the many emotions he could make worse by just talking about it.
"Is this a subject that you can use to yell at me? No it isn't," he responded.
Now furious, the intern ran up to him, grabbed the book, and threw it on the floor. She was now so close to him, the doctor felt a bit intimidated.
"My family needs that money to live. If you don't give me a raise, I'll find a way to get revenge for everything you've done that is rude or wrong,"
In his mind, he quickly thought of every rude or mean thing he has done. He could come up with at least twenty from the top of his head, but he didn't think the intern could memorize all of them. The theory about his intern's memory made him say one of the worst things he could say at the moment.
"Is that impossible because you have a horrible memory? Yes it is,"
She growled at him and stomped back to the door. She was now one of the most furious Toads Dr. Toadley had seen in his life.
"You're lucky I didn't quit yet!" she shouted, "To get even more money, I'll get another job! That other job will be one hundred miles away from you, the greedy and selfish Toad!"
She tightened her hands into fists and ran out of the room. Dr. Toadley grabbed the book and stared at the cover. Golden letters saying, "The Index" was on the top of the cover, which was made out of leather. He felt a bit guilty, but also a bit envious. He wanted to be as good and knowledgeable as the Toad he once traveled with.
"Shroomlock…" he mumbled to himself, "I wish I was as good as him"
Several hours later, it was morning time. The Toad patients didn't get much sleep (except for one Toad that Madz gave a Blorb Mushroom to), so they called the doctor often to get rid of the pain, coughing fit, or hallucinations they had. Usually, the intern would help him, but she wasn't in the clinic since she ran away. He was starting to get a bit worried and exhausted because of the night he experienced.
Later, Madz and Starlow came into the clinic with Fawful and Dreamstar. Since the intern wasn't there, Dr. Toadley groggily walked over to them, nearly losing his balance when he just passed the entrance to the fortune telling room.
"What happened to you?" asked Starlow, "Did Birdley get the hiccups in the middle of the night again?"
His eyes were now only halfway open. "Did that happen? No it didn't…" he yawned.
"Did Madz have the giving of Blorb Mushrooms to Toads again?" wondered Fawful, "She has the loving of the Blorbs like a bird wanting its seeds and crackers!"
"Yes, but…"
He was going to answer the question, but he fell asleep. Luckily, Fawful caught him before his head could touch the floor.
"Fawful, is he sick?" asked Madz. She smiled with joy after she asked the question.
"No, Fawful doesn't have the thinking that he has the sickness," he answered, "Should we have the throwing of him in the fountain?"
They all nodded before heading to the fountain in the Toad Town Mall. Fawful was struggling while he was trying to carry Toadley, but Madz and Starlow helped carry him. When they got to the fountain, the Toads were staring at them.
Starlow let go of Toadley's foot and asked, "Should we throw him or drop him?"
They were shaking due to the weight of the Toad. Penguins and Beanishes like Fawful were not known to carry heavy things, nor were they able to do it.
"On the counting of three!" exclaimed Fawful. Starlow grabbed Dr. Toadley's foot with her mouth again.
"Three!"
They rocked Toadley back and forth like a hammock. Dreamstar and the Toads were watching carefully.
"Two!"
Dr. Toadley opened his eyes and observed the area. Shocked, he tried to wiggle free, but their grip was too tight.
"One!"
The let go and threw Toadley into the air. He screamed before falling into the cool water of the fountain. The Toads continued their errands and acted like nothing strange has happened.
"What is going on?!" he yelled, looking a bit annoyed.
"We want to know what's wrong!" exclaimed Starlow, "Midbus is missing, so we went to your clinic to ask where he was. I don't think…"
"Do I know where Midbus is? Indeed I don't. Do I need some help finding my intern? Yes I do,"
He climbed out of the fountain with his cloak all wet. It was dripping so much that it could create a puddle if he stayed in one spot for too long.
"Wait, so both of them are missing?" wondered Starlow, "Doesn't that seem…suspicious?"
Trying to ignore the fact that he was cold from his cloak soaking in the fountain, he tried to think of a connection between the two events. He wasn't good at solving mysteries from the top of his head like Shroomlock was, so he usually used his crystal ball. Sadly, he didn't have it with him, so he didn't even get a vague idea of what happened.
"Can I solve it right now? No I can't. Am I as good as Shroomlock? Sadly, no,"
Fawful, Madz, Starlow, and Dreamstar were now all confused. It didn't seem like they knew who Shroomlock was. Dr. Toadley sighed and explained who he was.
"Is Shroomlock a famous detective? Yes he is. Did I used to work for him? I did,"
Madz, Fawful, and Dreamstar still didn't know who Shroomlock was, but they now knew that he must be important. Starlow, on the other hand, remembered who he was.
"I think I know who Shroomlock was!" exclaimed Starlow, "He had an assistant named 'Windwaker', which I thought looked like you. You are Windwaker!"
Under his cloth, he smiled with pride. "That's right, am I famous? Indeed I am…but I'm not as good as him!"
Fawful walked up to Dr. Toadley with concern. "But what about the being of Midbus?! He has importance! Maybe you can have the liking of the famous, but not as famous as the being of Fawful…"
"You're still famous?" interrupted Madz, "I never knew you still had Fawful Theater!"
Fawful paused for a second before correcting himself. "…having more famousness than Fawful, Shroomlock!"
He twisted his cloak to get the water out. "Really? Do I think I can do that? No I don't…"
"You just need some help from us!" said Starlow, trying to encourage him to find Midbus, "Right, guys?"
Before they could say anything, someone ran past Madz. Madz looked behind her to see the person running. Before it could reach the door, it tripped and fell down. They all walked up to it to observe it. Before they could even see the details, it used its hands to push itself up.
The person looked like Luigi, except he had a doctor's coat and stethoscope. Other than the clothes, his appearance was similar to Luigi.
He looked around the crowd surrounding him. "Why are you guys around me?"
"You ran past me!" shouted Madz. She was floating in the air, something she could do because of her Miracle Cure power.
He glanced at Madz and stepped back in shock. "Something's wrong with me! That penguin's floating in midair!"
Madz gave him a confused expression. "Nothing is wrong with you. I can fly because of my power, the Miracle…"
Dr. Toadley covered her beak to prevent him from finding out. "Do I know who you are? I certainly don't"
Still looking a bit scared, he greeted, "I am Dr. Luigi! My brother fights with this guy named Dr. Toadley, but I don't know who he is. I know he isn't any of you, because none of you guys are doctors"
Even though he was wrong, no one said anything about who Dr. Toadley was, or that he was close to him.
To change the topic, Starlow asked, "So, we were looking for one girl and one pig-armadillo thing, so do you think you can help us?"
Dr. Luigi thought for a moment and answered, "If you guys aren't those creepy viruses, than I will be happy to find them!"
Everyone, except Dreamstar and Dr. Luigi, smiled with joy. Dr. Toadley took his hand off of Madz's beak so she could speak again.
"Where should we look first?" wondered Madz, "The clinic is a great place to start, since I love looking at the sick Toads there!"
"Is the Bean 'n Badge a better place to start? Indeed it is," responded Dr. Toadley, "Can we see what happened to Midbus there? Yes we can"
Starlow flew a few feet away from them, then turned toward them. "Then let's start looking there, after you change your clothes, Doc…Windwaker!"
To change his wet clothes, they all headed toward Dr. Toadley's house first. One question was on all of their minds: Where is Midbus and the intern?
Oh boy, this was a long chapter for me. It took a while, and I feel like the sentences are too choppy, but I'm still happy with it. Now, here's some news from the famous Madz the Penguin!
First of all, yesterday was my birthday! I was going to post this on my birthday, but I didn't have time to finish it. So, happy late birthday to me! (Why didn't I post that on Miiverse…?)
Second of all, I am trying to get out of this habit of only writing my stories on the weekends. It's going to be tough, but I'm working on it. Must…post…on…weekdays!
Finally, if you want your writing to improve, or if you have a suggestion for a fanfiction, then ask me! I will not accept some suggestions, though (especially chicken pox fanfictions, because Pi'illo Pox is the last one I will do!)
I hope you enjoyed the story, and that I figure out who thought Madz and Starlow 7 was horrible. Maybe it's because I added way to much Cacktasma, or that person just doesn't like BIS.
