Listen to your heart...before you tell him goodbye...

Look To The Stars

The Mushroom Kingdom. Filled to the brim with many different people. Many of them are rather friendly folk. Although there are some of whom are not so cheery. I'm sure you may know them well.

One sunny day in the kingdom, a couple of people were deciding what to do for the upcoming beautiful days of summer. Those who were planning this get together were the two princesses, Peach and Daisy.

"So what should we do for this summer Daisy?" Peach asked her sister taking a sip of her tea. The more orange clad princess settled her cup upon the tiny plate.

"I'm not sure, Peach. Maybe we could...playin some games?" Have a picnic perhaps?" she spoke, leaving Peach to ponder on other ideas to start out the upcoming season.

"Hmm...maybe..." Peach began to think, until her sister spoke once more as an idea just popped into her mind.

"I know! We could get Mario and Luigi, a couple of friends and go out on a road trip! We can do some activities along the way! It'll be so fun!" Daisy exclaimed gleefully, with Peach smiling in approval of the thought.

"That would be enjoyable! We should go tell everyone."

So then the girls trotted off to go tell the news to their friends. This was going to be quite an interesting trip.

Across the way just a few miles from the Mushroom Kingdom was Diamond City. In this very city was where those known as the arch nemeses, or alternates of Mario and Luigi, was none other than Wario and Waluigi. They lived together in the city in Wario's little condo. Waluigi was mostly sitting back and watching whatever was on the boob toob, until he heard his brother fumbling through the door.

"Wahaaa...Walu! I've got some-a news!" Wario said loudly waddling in messing with his helmet that he wore with his rugged outfit anytime he went out on his motor bike. Waluigi just turned his head slightly, not at all suprised at anything Wario had to tell him.

"What is it-a this time Wario?" Waluigi asked drudgingly, moving his long spidery legs out of boredom. Wario ignored his brother's -- and continued.

"The Mario brothers and some others are going on a road trip, and we-a are invited to come along with-a them." Wario smiled deviously as he does, all the while Waluigi is still apathetic about the whole idea.

Wario grumbled at Waluigi. "Come on Walu, it'll do-a ya some good to get out of here." Then grabbing his brother Wario dragged him out the door to head off and join the others for the upcoming festivities...

It only took a few moments for Wario and Waluigi to arrive at the Mushroom Kingdom to meet up with the others. When they had arrived, Mario and Luigi were helping Peach and Daisy gather up some items for the trip. Waluigi grumbled hunching over on Wario's bike. Wario puttered his bike to a stop near the group and hopped off, with Waluigi not too far behind.

"So...when are-a we leaving for this road trip?" the stout man asked scratching his head a bit. Mario looked up seeing him.

"We will leave until-a everyone gets here."

Waluigi stood as crooked as a person he was, pondering on the participants of this trip. For all he knew there was the princesses, the Mario brothers, him and his brother, as well as some supposed others along their way. He was sure it was going to be him and his brother with the few couples and some stragglers. That's usually how it ended up whenever there was some event or games that were played around the kingdom. Always the few outsiders they were, and that seemed like the case for this trip. He really didn't mind, just as long as his brother didn't drive him up the wall like he does half the time. They were still good team mates and mischevious men. Assuming how this was...

Until he heard something off in the distance.

Turning around Waluigi noticed some noise coming from the distance a few miles away from where they stood. All that he really could see was a few shadowy figures, squinting his eyes to see who could they be that were coming this way. He had his answers reveals when they rurred past him on their motor bikes, near causing a heart attack upon Waluigi. He then realised that this wasn't going to be just another ordinary little trip. He was seriously not liking what he saw.

Looking over to his 'comrades' was that of the new arrivals of Yoshi and Birdo, Toad and Toadette, as well as Mona who also lived among Diamond City. Great. She hop skipped off of her bike and trotted over to Wario of whom smiled eagerly holding out his massive arms. They had began to show much interest in each other ever since Mona started to send Wario a few little hints of her crush on him. Waluigi just groaned.

Now with all considering, Waluigi mostly was one who kept to himself. Leading with such a obnoxious and mischief maker type lifestyle in tune with his brother, since that was how it had been for many years. They were all about fooling around with the others, poking fun and making quite a fuss. He actually enjoyed it from time to time. It gave him a sense of meaning aside from being the brother a man with too much gas. However he was always cast into the shadows because of his lack of appearance, and not particularly eager to join many festivities or events that went on...not even with his brother. As crazy and hilariously fun as they seemed in his eyes, he just kept to his own life popping up when the need be. Especially to whoop some goody-too shoe tail. His life had all seemed perfectly peachy in it's own dark, twisted, and possibly dirty way.

It was only till that jovial redheaded cheerleader popped onto the scene was when his life was more of a shadow than anything.

Coming back to the problem ahead that was troubling him, had made him really want to just go back to Wario's place and chill out in his own solitude. But sadly to his misfortune...Wario wouldn't let him lay a hand on his bike for nothing. Not even an emergency. No really seriously he just won't let him touch it. Especially now that he knew he was going to be the only 'single' person amongst this group of friends and possible couples...lovers maybe. Ugh. He didn't even want to think of the two lizards...or those stupid little toadstools. Waluigi just shuddered at the thought.

"Alright I believe we are good here Mario." Peach said, her hair in the ponytail she wore swishing as she turned to him. He nodded, then looked over at the rest of the group. "Alright-a everybody! Let's-a get going on the brand new road bus! Which was contributed by Mona a while-a back!" He stated opening the doors and hopping inside, with the others coming in afterwards slowly in a line.

"Great...not only is-a she infatuated with my brother, but she's a nicey little...guh.." Waluigi muttered to himself, sluggishly stepping into the bus, going all the way to the back to sit alone.

This was surely...going to be a long, difficult, and agitating road trip.
