It was a beautiful day in the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario, the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, was out enjoying the day, with his old pal, F.L.U.D.D. "Nice weather, isn't it Mario?" Asked F.L.U.D.D. "Oh yeah! I could really get used to this!" As the pair were walking through, one part of town was deserted, and suprisingly, Mario and F.L.U.D.D. were the only things there, save for a few birds flying about. "Hey, F.L.U.D.D., I'm really getting the creeps here. Can you scan the area?" "Affirmative." F.L.U.D.D.'s head then raised up above Mario's, and turned around and got a clear view of the area. "Mario, it appears that no one else is here but us." Mario then put his hand on his chin. "Must be an abandoned part of town." "It is possible that could have happened, but why?" Asked F.L.U.D.D. Mario then thought about it for a while. "Well, maybe it was run down, and no one could live here anymore." "True." Said F.L.U.D.D. Just then, as Mario was turning a corner, a familiar blue figure who was holding a paintbrush created by the same person who created F.L.U.D.D., suddenly appeared in front of them. "Shadow Mario!" Said the real Mario as Shadow Mario ran off. "After him Mario! We need to find out what his dastardly plans are!" Said F.L.U.D.D. Mario nodded, and followed him to a alleyway that was blocked off. "Ha! You're trapped!" Said Mario as he was closing in on the shadow imposter. Just then, Shadow Mario graffiti'd a M on the wall and tried to escape. "Mario, he's going to get away!" Said F.L.U.D.D. as Shadow Mario jumped through. "Oh no he's not!" Said Mario as he sprayed the portal with water, jumped through it, and the next thing he knew, he was high in the air falling face first onto the ground! Mario hit the ground and blacked out, unaware of where he was.
When Mario was shaking off his little nap, the next thing he heard were voices. "Ah don't what it is Sweetie Bell, that's why I asked you!" "Well I sure as heck don't know. How about you Scootaloo? "Hmm... this is very interesting. Very interesting indeed." Said the orange pegasus. "We know it's interesting, that's why we want to know what it is!" Said Applebloom. Mario then opened his eyes, and looked up. "Hey, where am I?" When the Cutie Mark Crusaders heard Mario talk, they kinda freaked out. "AHHHHHH!" Applejack heard the noise and came running out. "What in tarnation is going on here?" The Cutie Mark Crusaders then frantically pointed at Mario, who checked to see if F.L.U.D.D. was okay. Applejack then ran towards Mario, and bucked him in the face causing him to see stars. Lots and lots of stars. When Mario woke up again, he had saw that there were 6 multicolored ponies surrounding the hospital bed he lay in. Mario then cracked his eyes open to see a orange pony talking to her friends, explaining to them what happened. "And when Ah went outside, they pointed at him like he did somethin' to them, so I bucked him." Mario then put his hand to his head as he said, "I must have gotten hit on the head really hard, because now, I think I'm starting to hallucinate." The ponies then heard him, and looked over at him. Mario then felt a little uncomfortable about the whole thing, and started to look around. Then like interrogators, Applejack got on one side of the bed, while Pinkie Pie got on the other. "So, ya like scarin' my sister and her friends, do ya?" Said Applejack. "I didn't even know you had a sister, or better yet, I don't even know you!" After Mario said that, Pinkie punched him in the face, and Mario rubbed his cheek. She then put on a mustache, and started to act all tough. "We'll be asking the questions, buddy!" Mario just looked at her. "That wasn't a question, it was a answer. Didn't you go to school?" The ponies then all gasped. "How dare you!" Said Pinkie pointing her hoof at him. She then went on a rant, while Mario hopped out of the bed and started to look for F.L.U.D.D., considering he wasn't on his back. Fluttershy then noticed the nozzle, and picked him up. "Excuse me, but is this yours?" Asked Fluttershy in her normal quiet voice, but no one was able to hear her thanks to Pinkie's rant, and they kept following him. F.L.U.D.D then spoke up. "Mario." Mario looked over to see F.L.U.D.D. in Fluttershy's mouth. "F.L.U.D.D.!" "Mario!" Mario then jumped up into the air and grabbed F.L.U.D.D., putting him on his back, and thanking Fluttershy. Pinkie Pie was done with her rant, and Mario was going to leave. "It was lovely meeting you all, but now, I must-" Mario then got cut short by a familiar figure bumping into him. "Shadow Mario!" Said Mario and F.L.U.D.D. simotaneaously. The two then went after him with the Mane 6 hot on their trail. Mario then sprayed Shadow Mario with water, hurting him, and causing him to fall to the ground, without doing a little graffiti. Mario cleaned off the graffiti, and Shadow Mario dissapated into the ground. "Whoa, who was that?" Asked Twilight Sparkle. "A rival of mine called Shadow Mario." "Shadow Mario?" Said the ponies to each other. "It's a long story. In a nut shell, he's actually a child of my enemy dressed up as me to try and frame me for graffiti." "Graffiti?" Said the ponies. Mario then told them the entire plot of Super Mario Sunshine, and introduced himself while doing it. The ponies introduced themselves too, and they became friends and left the hospital. Mario told them all about his friends and they told them about Ponyville and their enemies. "Wow. You really have a lot." Said Mario. "Yeah, well it does get kinda fun." Said Applejack. Then, it was nighttime and our heroes had a long day. It was decided that Mario would stay with Twilight. So, they went to her house, and she showed him where he would be sleeping."Goodnight Mario." Said Twilight as she yawned and went to bed. "Goodnight." Said Mario as he put F.L.U.D.D. on a
dresser. Tomorrow would be a long day. Mario then dozed off, and went to sleep.
