Chapter 2
Replacements
Toad, after seeing Mario's great "affection" for Ravioli, ran to Peach to tell about it.
"WHAT!?" screamed Peach. "Mario can't fall in love with someone else!"
"Why" asked Toad.
"Because I'm his girlfriend, that's why" she yelled. "We have to stop this."
"But shouldn't Mario-"
"NO!" Peach interrupted. "Toad, you're now in charge of spying on them."
"But-"
"Do as I say."
Must be in panic mode, Toad thought.
Toad found Mario and Ravioli watching the sunset and talking. Now what they were talking about was the financial mess the business was in and what Wario and Waluigi were doing. But Toad couldn't quite make it out. He decided to try to get closer, but he stepped on a stick. SNAP. Mario and Ravioli slowly turned around.
Toad let out a sheepish grin and said, "Hi."
Ravioli screeched.
Ravioli was still panting hard when Mario asked "What, are you doing here?"
"Well, uh, I was, uh-"
"Were you spying on us?" asked Ravioli.
"Yes," said Toad, "I mean no, I mean-"
"Go away" said Ravioli feeling offended.
"Ok." said Toad and started to run.
When he got to Peach, he had nothing to report but his own mistake.
"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!" screamed Peach. "This time we'll both go"
They hid behind a bush and listened. This time, the sibs were talking about the awkward moment with Toad.
"Put a spider by them." Peach whispered.
"Do we have a spider?" asked Toad.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr," groaned Peach.
By the time Peach and Toad had found a spider, Mario and Ravioli were heading back to the castle.
It was dark by the time they got back to castle. After all, they were just watching the sunset. When they got to the castle, Luigi was asleep.
"Let's hit the hay," Mario said.
They got in bed and went to sleep. When they woke up, there was a surprise.
"Bwahahaha," Bowser said eyeing Ravioli, "It looks like I have a new damsel in distress."
"Oh no you don't!" said Ravioli waving a plunger.
"Sure I do," said Bowser, grabbing her.
"Hey, come back here!" said Mario.
"Catch me if you can, bwahahaha," Bowser said and ran.
"She's replacing me," Peach cried as Mario and Luigi ran after Bowser.
Mario and Luigi ran through courses as fast as they could. It was the fastest game they ever played. The whole time Bowser was in site ordering goombas and koopatroopas around. Together they flew through worlds. Luigi wasn't even afraid of the boos because they weren't quite organized yet. Even the swimming levels were easy. When Bowser got to his castle, he caged Ravioli and turned around only to see The Bros. waiting for the final fight.
Stunned, Bowser regained his composure and said, "Good thing you're here so soon. Now I can squish you sooner. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
The fight then started. It was a long, brutal battle. Finally, The Bros. defeated Bowser.
Bowser let out a long, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as he shrunk and disappeared.
Mario unlocked Ravioli.
"Who-what was that?" she asked, "And how did you beat IT."
"That was Bowser," said Luigi, "He's a lizard-like villain."
"I see that," Ravioli said, "But what kind?"
"Gee, I don't know," said Luigi.
"He's some sort of stegosaurus-turtle-dragon," said Mario.
They walked back to the castle and found Princess Peach crying.
"What happened?" asked Mario.
Toad explained the whole thing. Mario, Luigi, and Ravioli laughed out loud. They laughed for 15 minutes straight.
After they finished laughing, Mario said, "It's not that, she's our sister!"
They continued laughing. This time, though, Toad joined them.
"It's not funny!" yelled Peach.
That night, Ravioli couldn't sleep. She was worried. She was worried about what Wario and Waluigi would do with her stuff when they found she was missing.
As if he sensed her worry, Mario said, "They can't do anything to it when the residents are missing."
"But they only gave me three weeks."
"Don't worry," Mario said and fell asleep.
Ravioli tried sleep but couldn't. All she could think about was what Wario and Waluigi might do.
