Yoshi rolled into the apartment that he and Luigi shared. His antennae sent a signal to the answering machine. The messages started to play.
"You have...5 messages."
Beep!
"Yoshi, It's Roshi, what's going on? I have some frozen pizza that needs to be heated. Let's hook up later. Bye."
Beep!
"Hey it's Luigi. Don't wait up for me. Oh, and can you tidy up a bit? Thanks Yosh. See ya."
Beep!
"YOSHI! ARE YOU THERE? Look, I have an update on that case of ours. Call me ASAP! It's Morrison by the way. Bye."
Beep!
"Come on man! I want Hot Pizza NOW! It's Roshi! Later!"
Beep!
"Hi. Detective Yoshi, I just want to thank you again for helping me out. Of course your check is in the mail. You know who I am."
Beep!
The last message, he knew exactly who that was. And he knew that he was going to be paid generously. It's good to be a microwave detective.

Just as Yoshi was about to leave, Luigi entered the apartment and started scrambling all over the place.
"Whoa", said Yoshi, "I thought you were coming home late? You didn't have a date tonight? "
"Yeah, I do", said Luigi, searching under a couch, "In fact I'm having one right now!"
"Really, right now?" asked Yoshi.
"Yes, right this minute", said Luigi, "she's in the cab as we speak."
"So what are you doing here ya numbskull?"
Luigi sighed. "I'm trying to find a wing cap, or metal cap, or any cap really. I'm trying to prove to my lady friend that I was really one of the Mario Bros....as if this old green costume $#!^ isn't enough."
Luigi searched a little bit more and finally settled on a fire flower. He then quickly headed over to the fridge and looked inside. There was barely anything in there. It was okay though; the only thing he needed were the burritos he had stashed at the bottom. He took out two burritos and looked at his friend. His best friend. Yoshi the microwave. He felt bad about how Yoshi had ended up. A machine, barely alive. He felt bad for using him to heat up lunch, leftovers and snacks. And he felt especially bad that Mario and Princess Toadstool had dumped them on this garbage planet. That really ticked him off.
"Hello, are you putting those in or what?" asked Yoshi.
"Oh sorry", said Luigi, "I spaced out for a minute there." Luigi put the two burritos into Yoshi and set the timer for 2:00 minutes. "So what's up with you Yosh?"
"Nothing really. I got in just now and I have to leave again. Morrison called before about an update on the case we're working. I gotta go all the way downtown and you know how that usually takes forever."
"Yeah I know that's why I always take a sky taxi. It's only way to get around this place."
"You know how I feel about...air transport."
"What's wrong with air transp...oh yeah, sorry I brought it up."
"That's okay, just...DING! Your burritos are ready."
"Thanks, man." said Luigi. He took the burritos out of Yoshi.
"The ladies must love the aroma of a flatulent plumber."
"You'd be surprised."
They both exited the apartment and entered the speed elevator. Within seconds they were outside at ground level with Luigi rushing to his date and his microwave friend looking after him. Yoshi could see what Luigi's date looked like through the cab's glass: boxy, slimy, purplish red, tentacles strewn all above her head. This was Luigi's date?
"Ursula, I hope you like food that's warm and edible", said Luigi, bending over the glass window to give a burrito to his date. She took both of them.
"Mmmm, I love these things", said Ursula, "what are they called again?"
"Burritos"
"Oooh, such an exotic name" said Ursula. She had already finished both burritos.
"Luigi", Yoshi interrupted, "I need to talk to you for a second."
"Could you hold on for one more second Ursula?" Luigi followed Yoshi over by the building side. "What's the matter?"
"What are you doing to yourself?" asked Yoshi.
"What are you talking about?" Luigi said defensively.
"I'm talking about all these weirdo aliens you've been hanging out with. This one has tentacles, the last had, like, ten heads, the one before that had eyes all over her body, the one before that..."
"Okay so I'm going out now and then, so what? I'm just trying to have a little fun on this trash dump planet."
"You could have fun", said Yoshi, "but do you have to hang out with a freak like that?"
"Yeah I do. Besides, you're a freak and I hang out with you."
Yoshi paused for a moment. "Don't even start with that Luigi.....I'm just trying to look out for you."
"There doesn't need to be any looking out. I'm just going out with a nice alien who likes movies and has a slight problem remembering things..."
"Oh no! Don't tell me you're dating another amnesiac!"
"YES I'M DATING ANOTHER AMNESIAC! I THINK THEY DESERVE LOVE TOO YOSHI! I'M SORRY IF THAT WHOLE THING UPSETS YOU! NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME!" Luigi quickly walked away from Yoshi and went back to his date that waited patiently in the cab. When he got in the cab lifted off the ground and flew into the night sky.
"She won't even remember him when it's over" Yoshi said to himself.
Yoshi hailed a taxi for himself. He was able to get one that traveled specifically on the ground.
