Today was a lovely day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser hasn't stolen any princesses, Wario hasn't blown anything up in search of profit, the sun was high, birds chirped, nothing could go wrong. The day was so perfect that the Mario Brothers got all the toads together to set up a kingdom wide carnival, free entry, free food, fun for everyone involved. The brothers and the toads got to work setting up rides and cooking up foods, there were few complaints on work load or who should do what, everyone was in sync for once. However, somewhere on the other side of the kingdom, things weren't as surreal.
"WHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHT?" cried out Waluigi, a tall, stick figure like man in a purple shirt and overalls. His orange genie shoes had stepped in something on his daily walk around his really, really humble abode. After moving his foot to see what he had stepped in, a smile perked on his face, it was a flier for the carnival the Mario Brothers were setting up. Waluigi couldn't believe his luck, a carnival with free rides and food? How could he turn that down, it was simply unthinkable, except for one thing, who would go with him? Waluigi is a very independent person, except when he has to deal with other people, he isn't anti-social but he is shy, he'll talk to strangers but he will be glad when they leave. "I need... Hmmmm..." He started to think, he needed someone to go with him but he had no idea who to ask, he didn't want to bother Wario, and that's the only person he knows that doesn't hate him. Waluigi continued to walk, worse comes to worse he could swallow his fear and just go anyway, but he didn't want to resort to that.
Ten miles away sits Blalex, on top of her mushroom house, despite living in a house made for toads, she is a human like Mario or Luigi, she always wears a hoodie or a sweater with some sort of cat vanity on it, short shorts with a skirt over them, and black stockings with yet more cat vanity on them. She sips her tea and reads the newest Homestuck update on her mushroom tablet when a toad mailman comes up to her door, he is out of breath, he lets out his normal toad wail, "HAHEHELHOHEH," and then passes out due to lack of breath. It was enough to get Blalex's attention, she peeked over the roof she sat on and looked at the passed out toad, his last letter to deliver in his hand still. She hopped off the roof and took the letter from him, it was addressed to her anyway. Blalex never gets mail, she had a puzzled expression on her face as she opened the letter. Inside was a flier for the carnival being set up, "This looks lame," she whispered to herself, but in reality she thought it would be fun and really wanted to go. However, like Waluigi, she didn't want to go alone, she is also shy. She walks into her mushroom house and beings to wonder who she should go with. She doesn't know Mario or Luigi in person, the princesses are probably already going to go with their respective plumbers, and the only toad friend she has is in the hospital because of terminal lung cancer. She's out of options and out of luck, she sulks into her bed room and falls over into her bed, ready for a self pity nap.
Waluigi `borrowed` Wario's extra motor cycle, he knows he can get away with taking it because Wario has over three hundred extra motor cycles. As he revs it up, the perfect idea comes into his head, "WHHHHIIIAAA HA HA HA, I've got it!" he exclaimed to himself and then blushed for yelling while talking to himself, but he did have the perfect idea, he could find a date. This motor cycle was very hard to drive, after he stepped on the gas a little, it just started going at full speed, "WHIIIIAAAAA!" he shrieked to himself as he almost completely lost control, it took him less than five minutes to get ten miles over into the mushroom town where the toads lived, the motor cycle crashed right into the wall of a mushroom house and completely totaled both the bike and the wall. Waluigi was shifted forwards as the collision happened, he flew right through the rubble and bricks that he caused, right into the opposite wall over the cute mushroom themed couch, which was in the perfect spot to break his fall as he fell off of the wall. He groans to himself and rubs his head, he didn't even hear the person upstairs yell a profanity when he hit the wall. It was Blalex, this is her mushroom house.
After feeling her entire house rattle and probably a good portion of it break, she couldn't help but yell, a bad word, a swear word, a word I wont repeat in text here. After her little bout of anger with the situation, she started down the stairs to see what happened, when she notices him, on her couch, shambled over himself in pain. His legs so slender, his arms so... slender. His chin so pronounced, she couldn't help but blush over his perfect figure. Even his bulbous pink nose was attractive. He started to shake his head very fast as he tried to regain his ability to feel things, after a good bit of shaking, he is returned to normal, for the most part, no bruises or bumps, just a bit of a red spot on his fore head which he quickly began to rub, "whaaa..." was all he could gasp out, in both embarrassment and aftershock pains. Blalex was silent through his little recovery period but she couldn't help herself, she eeped out a little, her mouth was closed so it was hard to hear, but Waluigi's pointy ears are sharp in more ways than one, he looks over to her and quickly recoils back into the opposite arm of the couch, his legs start to kick and his arms flail in front of his face, like he expects her to pounce onto him and beat him up, but Blalex doesn't move, she just starts to blush more, feeling a little bad for scaring him like that. Waluigi only flails for a few seconds before he realizes he isn't in danger, he sighs and swallows his pride, sitting himself up normally, trying to not make anymore of a scene than he already has, "Sorry about your WHHHAAIIIILLLllllll miss, I didn't lost control of my motor cycle," he tried to explain. Blalex lost a lot of her blush, though her face did remain a light cherry color as she approached him slowly. Waluigi didn't react to her walking up to him, he figured she would, though it did come to him as a bit of a shock when she sat down next to him. "Who are you?" Blalex said in a small, cute, somewhat afraid voice, trying to ignore the huge hole in her wall and the pile of debris over where the toad mail man was before, she didn't even think that the toad might still be there under those bricks. "My name is Waluigi, whats yours?" they traded formalities for a bit, names, opinions of the weather, it was almost scary how formal they talked after what happened to the wall and the motor cycle. After they went through the simple formalities, it occurred to Waluigi that this girl was probably single.
It was time to work that old purple magic he kept up his nostrils, time to do something, time to stop waiting and watching. He cracked his fingers, and his arms unintentionally, then flexed his simple stick arms, he cracked a smile which sparkled a bit, Blalex's eyes were glued to his figure, mostly his chin. Waluigi smiled a little wider as he got her attention so fast, and so undivided, this opportunity couldn't be wasted, "So, did you hear about the carnival?" he asked, unafraid of being turned down, something about this girl clicked with him, and when her expression perked up and her eyes brightened, he knew the answer before she said it. Sure enough, "Yes I've heard about it," she nodded as she talked, Waluigi put his arms down, knowing that the news of the carnival would be wide spread enough, surely she would see him as someone who keeps up with the times now.
Nothing could prepare Waluigi for what would happen next, Blalex got up and walked away into her mushroom kitchen and came back with a simple mushroom in her hands, she offered it to him, "It heals 20 hp, you probably need it," she smiled as she just tossed it at him, it morphed into his body and dissipate into blue and green sparks, revitalizing him for real this time. This was new, normally he would adventure with Wario, whom would eat all the healing mushrooms because he eats everything. Waluigi stood up tall, did a little spin, held his arms out and looked at them, he was a new man, sort of; He was a man with full hp, ready to take on the world. He put a hand on Blalex's shoulder and looked down into her eyes, "Do you WHHHAAAAIIIIIIIInt to go to the carnival wi-th me?" he fumbled a bit with his breathing, but in an attempt to save himself and make it seem like that was intentional, he quickly adds, "As friends of course." Blalex's eyes sparkled like never before, she could only nod, finnaly, something went her way without needing to pout in the corner till it happened naturally, this were perfect for a moment, but then this chapter ended. Stay tuned!
