Chapter 2
"It is a barrier for sure but I'm not sure what kind. I'll try to figure it out and let you know if anything comes up. We just tried magic but maybe I did something wrong…" Zen, a slender male Zelda, concluded.
"Thanks, Zen." Martha sighed turning around. If Zen couldn't make a portal or something using magic then she didn't know what to do. And quite frankly having Wario here forever did not look appealing. The girl turned around and left while Zen took another glance at the wall.
Martha was certain now she had missed dinner grumbling to herself as she stumbled through the forest in the setting sun. Wario had not been at the tree house nor did any of the beers miss. Honestly she didn't know why she searched for the nasty man so vigilantly. It'd be much easier to let the acquired bratty streak acquired from living at the Smash Mansion win out and just go back to the building. Alas, her kindness and loyalty triumphed pushing her to ignore her stomach demanding dinner and keep looking only to find out that Wario had wandered into town and stolen pizzas at a restaurant bumping into a frustrated Martha. "Where did you get the pizzas!? Where were you?"
"I didn't find your tree house, got lost and hit town. Want some pizza?"
"Did you steal that?"
"Why would you think that?" Wario gasped.
"Warioette steals from time to time." Martha deadpanned.
"So? Just some pizza. Want some?"
"No, I'm fine. I'll not support your stealing habits. I'll just grab something from the fridge later." Martha replied but her stomach betrayed her with a roar, her head dipping downwards and her shoulders slumping. Could this day get any worse?
"You're a naughty liar. So I stole, it's here now. Don't starve yourself brat, just take food." Wario rolled his eyes sitting down in the grass and opening one of the five boxes letting the smell of a fresh pepperoni pizza waft into the air.
"Excuse me?" Martha growled at being called a brat. Reluctantly the princess sat down in the grass and Wario pushed the box closer to her with one foot and a "I know you're hungry."
"Shut up…" Martha sullenly growled grabbing a slice of pizza and munching down on it.
"So, did guy Zelda find out anything?"
"Zen?"
"I guess."
"No, not really. He couldn't fix it right away but he's looking into it and he'll let me know."
"Well… it's not too terrible here… Looks like you might be stuck with me for a while." Wario sighed biting down into another slice of pizza.
"Zen will find a way back. Fast." Martha huffed.
"Come on, boyish girl. My company ain't so bad." Martha shot a venomous glare. "I will shut up and just eat pizza."
"Tent, blankets, sleeping bag, pillow… That should be everything." Martha checked the pile again just to make sure. "See you tomorrow."
"Wait!" Martha stopped to Wario's relief turning around to the round man. "Aren't you going to help me set up the tent and all?"
"No." With that the princess briskly left leaving the Italian on his own.
"Mama-mia, she's feisty."
"Watcha been doing all day?" Elaine asked stuffing popcorn into her mouth as she watched in movie in the town's cinema along with Linkle mirroring Link save for being a girl and longer hair put braided into pigtails. Pia, aka female Pit, also donned longer hair but had open loosely. Rita kept her longer hair in a ponytail tonight. Elaine's question to Martha quipped their attention turning to the blue haired girl with curious eyes. Martha avoiding them or more or less struck suspicious as the teens always hung out often joined Zen, Sam being Samus, Sheik aka female Sheik (In my longer one I'll have Sheik as sister of Zelda and girl) and occasionally Dalia.
"Erm… after delivering the package to mistress Hand I actually just spent the day in the forest. Just wanted to be alone." That could even be counted as not a lie! The gals gave her a quizzical look and didn't seize the visual inquire for more details unnerving their friend.
"Is it a boyfriend?" Pia suddenly drawled causing Martha's face to heat up.
"No."
"Maybe Martha just wanted to spend time outside. I like taking walks in the forest sometimes, reminds of our times before coming to the Smash Mansion." Linkle said.
"Thank you, Linkle." Martha responded and relieved that it quenched their curiosity for shifting everyone's attention back to the movie.
Wario officially hated camping now. The sleeping bag wasn't as comfy as a bed, a bear had stolen a blanket and owls kept hooting right above him and if that wasn't enough he had awoken to a raccoon hissing at him at being caught rummaging through the tent before running off to top it off. Although these three animals had been very brave to be close to the man or better said 'Warioette' notorious for farting. His stomach grumbled none of the pizza from last night left and he debated if he should wait for Martha or venture out on his own. Martha seemed to be able to navigate the forest fairly well but Wario didn't go outside much therefore having a hard time finding his way and he found waiting boring.
Martha sighed having slept in and pretended to not feel well to keep her friends from dragging her into adventures. For a moment in the morning she'd actually forgotten about Wario seeing the memories as remnants of a weird dream but her conscious quickly reminded her it was very real. How long could she keep that façade up? What would she do tomorrow with brawls scheduled? Would Zen find a solution and how long would be? How long would Wario be here? Marth realized she had to make choices now along with a solid plan. Fumbling hoping to get lucky might not work. The blue orbs wandered to the window; her first priority is to get breakfast and bring some to Wario without being seen as her friends might insist on coming along if she used the excuse of a walk. Her hands wandered to the phone; better leave it here so nobody could ask Dalia to use her technical skills to track her phone. Since no brawls were scheduled and Martha didn't feel like dressing as she did in brawl squeezing into the little bit of armor, the girl simply threw over a black hoodie with a howling wolf pictured on it and blue jeans along with black and purple sneakers. Her fingerless blue gloves slid over her hands, tiara placed on her head. Reminds her of all the sneaking around she used to do when it all began. Good thing, she's good at it. Her eyes strayed to Falchion with belt and sheath beside it. In the first month she used to always carry it around but gradually she left the weapons in her room along with her friends. It's still an occasional habit though none of them would ever lose. The teen tried to fix the dilemma by thinking about what kind of misfortune could slam into them today. What weird circumstances would come. But it only served as reminder that too many weird things happened at Smash Mansion daily making the weird the norm therefore thinking it over brought nothing. The blue haired girl shrugged and snatched the sword and belt deciding to take Falchion along just cuz she wanted to. To her luck Wario had stayed at the tent even though he wandered away a bit although not out of sight. Martha unwrapped some lunchboxes in which she had stuffed breakfast as Wario waddled over. "Finally, I'm starving!"
"Here you go. I'm leaving and I'll be back twice to bring lunch and dinner."
"Hey wait, what are we doing today?"
"We?" Martha raised an eyebrow.
"You are going to leave me in the forest!?"
"Yes?"
"What will I do?"
"Figure something out, just stay away from Rayquaza's lake."
"Can't we sneak into the mansion and play video games or something? I'll be even happy with some beers, couch and TV. Or we do something together."
Martha sighed leaning against a tree with her back crossing her arms over her chest. "I might be able to get you a laptop and an extra battery with some DVD's. But you're going to have to wait till lunch."
"That's such a long time." Wario pouted an idea forming in his mind seeing Martha leaning against the tree. One hand in his pocket, it grasped a zip tie between some other things and his eyes wandered to his jacket. Maybe if he was fast enough he wouldn't be stuck left alone in the forest dying of boredom… Martha opened her mouth for a reply and the man grabbed the jacket ready to pounce.
"Well, deal with it. Be happy I'm even going to go through the trouble of getting those items at lunch." Martha growled with a sigh having closed her eyes. "Hey, what!?" The blue eyes narrowed on a grinning Wario having tied his jacket around the tree and Martha the girl having leaned against a thin but strong one to her luck. Martha's eyes twitched. "You really think your smelly jacket is-"
"Nope!" Ziiiip! Before her hand could reach Falchion and having not expected more restraints, Martha found her arms tightly zip tied without cutting off the blood supply, Wario watching her glare while picking his nose.
"Listen Garlic breath, untie me now and you get lucky if I don't stab you." The princess glowered, Wario shrugging.
"I've decided to still not be seen, why don't we go into town? The Smash Mansion looks almost exactly like the other one so a tour would be boring. And too much walking." Wario pondered. ignoring Martha's warning and eyeing his snot on his finger smearing it onto the next tree to which Martha frowned and wrinkled her nose. "I'll wait until you say yes, though."
"No, you're a nasty asshole." The princess snapped and Wario sat down digging into breakfast with Martha turning away not interested in seeing his eating habits again.
"Is Rayquaza your pet?"
"No." Martha rolled her eyes with a tired sight still looking away and pulling against shirt and zip tie not budging at all.
"In the other dimension the guy you tamed Rayquaza."
"Would you stop saying other me!?"
"Why?"
"Just… two me's. Does that like mean my soul is split? How many more me's are there? Do decisions even matter? What happens if you die now!? Oh crap, if the guy me dies, do I die too!?" Wario blinked slowly realizing he'd driven the poor girl into an existential crisis and had no idea what to do about it. He'd seen people try to talk to those in despair… Others got slapped… Slapping Martha… Wario scrambled to his feet while Martha still wailed talking without a pause and suddenly struck her cheek causing her to freeze up and Wario to swallow barely managing to say, "Get a hold of yourself, girl!" Martha blinked and turned to the fat man distancing himself just in case but Wario found himself surprise met with a soft sweet smile and a calm gaze directed at the grass below her instead of the murderous glare he had envisioned. "Sorry, I freaked out… Thank you, I needed that."
"You're welcome." Wario sat back down picking up a sandwich. "Do I get to hang out with you now at least till lunch now?"
"No. Hey wait that was your snot hand! DISGUSTING, EW!"
Wario sighed rolling his eyes and a few minutes of silence passed before the man talked again. "You shouldn't be worried you know. As far as I'm concerned everyone is just similar, they are still a different person. You probably had the same past as him too but who cares? He's Marth, you're Martha. Similar, but different. And not just with your gender."
"T-Thanks." Martha quickly looked away to hide the faintest blush. Who knew this nasty man could utter such sweet words on rare occasions?
"Sure with your board chest, you exactly look like him unless you're naked but you've got pretty nice legs and hips there so you're already at fifty percent."
As said on rare occasions. If it weren't for those dumb restraints she'd already be strangling him.
Wario burped having eaten the last sandwich, the boxes strewn about around him. "What do you want to do? I'm cool with anything but staying here on my own."
"Untie me."
"Only if you promise not to ditch me."
"Can't make a promise but I'll try." Martha sarcastically remarked.
"Rock, paper, scissors. I win we do something at least till lunch. You win, I'll accept defeat."
"Remove the zip tie then."
"Promise first." Wario insisted. Martha glared thinking of what to do. She could break the promise but as much as she lied being at the Smash Mansion, the girl did her best to keep promises even to someone like Wario. She would only have to bear him till lunch then she could grab laptop, battery and DVDs and he'd leave her be.
"Don't bother with rock, paper, scissors. Until lunch then I'm grabbing laptop, battery and DVD's and you leave me be, deal?"
"Deal." Wario undid the zip tie and Martha cut the jacket responding with a "You are an ass." to a gaping Wario.
"Before we do anything I have to wash my face."
"Why?"
"Did you seriously already forget!?"
"I really don't see what you're upset about…"
"You slapped with the hand you picked your nose with!" Martha exclaimed the man only responding a shrug.
"I touch my snot all the time and I'm not dead."
"It's gross! Just… just follow me there is a pond nearby. Anything particular you have in mind until lunch?"
"Well, Smash Mansion tour would be boring. We could go to town in your car."
Martha squatted down to the water dipping her hands inside. "Wash your hands too."
"You know fish probably pooped and peed in there or ducks."
"You're not going into my car without it. Do it."
"Fine then." Wario sighed with grumble washing his hands at the pond. The duo walked back and walked along the edge of the forest where it curved and touched the driveway while Martha fetched the car. The man plopped down in the passenger seat, the girl coming up to the edge and pulling away again heading off into town with Wario. 'Probably looks like back home.'
Indeed the town did resemble the other one except for a few small differences; a little bit of a different touch to the finer details of some buildings, the one fountain in town actually got kept active while after an incident with the smashers back home left the fountain in shambles, two shops that weren't back there sat cozily by the side walk and the people in general seemed more relaxed when Crazy floated by while back home no one really got used to the existence of floating gloves. Especially Crazy's twitchy appearance sent everyone running for the hills back home unlike here although when looking closely you could see that everyone still did keep an eye on the glove ready to bolt when needed. Wario spotted in amusement that even the townsfolk he knew had gender swapped for the most part and some he couldn't tell in case they donned short or long hair anyway regardless of gender. The type of clothing some preferred also made it hard to figure but his attention faded quickly from the people more to the various shops and entertainment avenues. Actually looking closer at it now, the town looked better off than back there less bothered by the weird crap they got sucked into but it could've been newly repaired too so Wario didn't count it. The man didn't feel like moving about much, his eyes drawn to an arcade they passed.
"Martha, how about the arcade?"
"Sure." They girl pulled onto a parking lot of a bigger store sitting close by the entertainment venues.
"There's a parking spot right in from of the arcade." Wario pointed out.
"I don't wanna parallel park."
"I can do it."
"Keep dreaming." Martha replied shaking her head with a smile and pulling out the keys. Wario patted his pocket finding some money in it getting out of the vehicle and Martha locked the car putting the keys in her pocket leading the way. As they entered, Wario wondered if Martha had taken a job like Marth back home. Everyone knew Marth did have job and he did have cash not just stemming from being royalty although no one knew what his job was. Everyone actually knew that he didn't use any currency from his home still partially looking after his homeland although Elice is stuck with all the paperwork now. Wario picked his nose leisurely following the female figuring he could just bum off her when he ran out of money. The duo started out silently, more or less going their open ways playing games although Wario ran out of money fairly quickly finding Martha buying a snack.
"I'm out of money."
"We haven't even been here an hour." Martha sighed. "Here"
Wario couldn't help but blink, this had been much easier than he had thought. "Thanks… Marth would never just hand me over money like that, it's just… like, why?"
"I'm guessing you didn't have much money with you when you came since you didn't plan this. I don't mind taking it back." Martha smiled mischievously at the last silence and Wario quickly stuffed the cash in his pocket.
"Nah, thanks. I'll keep it. Hey those games over there are for two, wanna try them?"
Martha hesitated but then agreed with a yes, the two walking over to a shooter game where you defended against invading aliens. As Wario and Martha played both turned out quite quick with the control mowing down wave after wave with each becoming harder every time and the silence started to fade telling the other when close to missing an alien making a competition out of who would go down first while trying to beat the high score together. The next arcade game pitted Martha and Wario against each other, both turning out to the pros at the game causing neither to win with the high score reached and topped by a new one. Of course this is when things go wrong, their playful exchanges coming to an end when the game suddenly crashed. Martha and Wario turned to each other, the girl chewing her lips glancing around them. Their eyes darted back to the now smoking arcade machine and back to each other.
"We should leave before we are caught at the crime scene." Wario broke the ice.
"Agreed." Martha replied quickly, both getting up and making a beeline for the exit slowing down on the sidewalk again. Martha veered away from the car and Wario jogged after the girl having assumed they'd get in the car. The man said nothing coming to a stop in front of a pet shop with Martha, one of the two shops that didn't sit there back home.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really. They have kittens and bunnies in there, I want to cuddle them."
"That's boring."
"You can wait outside." Martha walked in Wario stood there all alone for few minutes before strolling in shoving his hands in his pockets finding Martha sitting on the floor with a kitten in her arm and a smile as soft as the kitten itself. "Changed your mind?"
"No, it just looked stupid to stand out there in front of the store." Wario replied picking his nose watching Martha cuddle the kittens, one playing with her shirt batting it with its tiny paw with Martha making little cutesy sounds. After ten minutes of just watching, Wario sighed deciding to pet a kitten since he was bored and Martha looked like she was having a lot of fun. His hand reached out for the fluffy being but Martha's hand quickly snatched it off its feet glaring at Wario with a stern scowl. "The cat won't care."
"Wash. Your. Hands."
"Fine" Wario rolled his eyes washing his hands in the bathroom of the pet shop and coming back, sitting down and petting a red little tabby coming to a stop beside him. The kitten purred while trying to climb over his leg and Wario found himself enjoying himself more and more. "Wow… This is great! So fluffy… I didn't know petting animals can be so much fun. It's amazingly relaxing, actually. Even better than videogames! Or maybe not… about even, but better than movie. Nah, even again or wait; couple petting a kitten with watching a movie. And snacks."
Martha giggled shifting her gaze from the kittens to Wario. "Little kitties get rid of the nasty in you, huh? Maybe they'll help you stay clean, too."
"Don't kid yourself." Wario snorted.
"Hey that's my phrase!" Martha retorted, the two playing with the animals a little more before Wario's stomach grumbled.
"Is it lunch time yet?"
"No, but do you wanna go get ice cream? There is a nice spot to sit by the fountain. It's even close to the ice cream; you won't have to walk far." Martha answered, her lips lifting into a smirk at the last comment.
"You know, I can actually be very fast when I want to." Wario replied as the two walked out the doors and turned to head to the ice cream shop but Wario's world turned upside down within seconds when Martha spotted a familiar face and freaked somehow using strength and martial arts in a combo stuffing the man into a trash can next to them. Amazingly he fit but barely and to his luck the trash can only contained paper.
"Hey, Martha!" Sam, aka male Samus, waved to the blue haired girl awkwardly waving back quickly kicking the trash can when Wario shuffled around inside. Wario froze up and listened in.
"Hey Sam."
"What are you up to?" Instead of his suit, Samus wore sneakers, jeans and a shirt with an open leather jacket.
"Nothing, really. Just visited the arcade and pet shop.
"Elaine and co are all wondering where you are." Sam chuckled.
"Oh yeah, we kinda made plans and I got side tracked. Sorry about that." Martha's hand sheepishly rubbed the back of her hand. At least Sam didn't ask anything super specific so she didn't have to lie.
"I was at the gym. Want to hang out in town till lunch?"
"Eh…umm…"
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah, actually Sam I'm busy until lunch cuz I'm meeting a guy."
"What's he like?" Sam asked with a mischievous smile.
'Nasty' "Umm… well, I don't know him too well yet."
Sam's smile dropped. "Maybe it's not a good idea to meet then."
"I'll be fine."
"I know you'll be fine physically, you can martial art anyone to hell. But you could have your feelings hurt."
Martha awkwardly scuffed the sidewalk with her shoes wondering what to say. Sam might follow if he thinks it could be dangerous and see Wario where they could lie again unless Wario decided to randomly change his mind again. Or she cancelled that plan and Sam would either go on his merry way or stay around. "You know I think I'll get to know him better first." Martha smiled shyly. Awkward silence spread but Sam didn't turned away instead smiling himself, "Want to grab some ice cream?" Martha face palmed on the inside; that's exactly what she suggested to Wario!
"Actually I'm not feeling well."
Sam raised an eyebrow; to him Martha looked perfectly fine. Uneasy but perfectly healthy. "Here, I'll drive you home."
"I'll drive on my own."
"You really shouldn't drive when you're not feeling well."
'We drive when we get drunk and are out of our minds all the time!' Martha didn't know what to say anymore to shake the blonde off. That's when Wario involuntarily took matters into his own hands, farting agonizingly loudly and the pressure rose in the trash can within split seconds catapulting off the lid and shooting it at Sam's head with enough force to knock him out lifting him off his feet as he fell backwards.
"Phew, got a little stuffy in there. Heh, looks like I got us out of a situation with boob less Samus just in time." Wario commented popping out of the trash can, Martha frantically crawling away with a hand over nose desperately trying to wave the smell away while poor Samus inhaled lung full's that would later cause agony when he awoke.
"Oh crap, you could've killed Sam! Check if he's alive!" Martha yelled from further away, the fart wafting out causing more people to scurry away with Martha.
"He's breathing, relax. Are we still going for ice cream?"
"We can't just leave Sam here!"
"Stuff him in the trunk?"
"No!"
"Throw him into a dumpster?"
"No!"
"I'm out of ideas…"
"…"
"…"
"You stink… on every level…"
"You got an idea? And come closer, I'm tired of yelling."
"Over my dead body! Just put him on the nearest bench."
"How are we going to eat ice cream when you're so far away and we have to keep yelling?" Wario yelled carrying Sam to the nearest bench and dropping him roughly.
"We walk there very slowly until my nose is safe to be near you." After an awkward slow walk they arrived although yelled for the man to wait a few more minutes a few meters away to make sure the ice cream wouldn't get contaminated.
Wario ordered a humongous amount barely staying on the cone of various kinds while Martha picked vanilla and strawberry. They almost sat down on a bench by the fountain but their eyes strayed to Sam. He didn't look like he'd wake up anytime soon but just to be safe they settle out of sight in case he did wake up sitting down in the shade of a tree.
"Is he into you?"
"Who?" Martha blinked.
"Blondie I knocked out."
"I don't know…" Martha stuttered. "Sam usually hangs out with us. When I came here, he was still kinda withdrawn but he used to be way more withdrawn from what I've been told. We're friends, nothing more."
"So… do you like him?"
"I doubt you even care, why are you asking?"
"Just curious."
"… He's not ugly." Martha shrugged. They finished their ice cream in pleasant silence, Wario wolfing down the dairy product glancing at Martha taking her time. Their heads poked around the corner seeing Sam still out cold and on the bench.
"We just have to stay out of sight."
"Yeah but we don't know where Sam would go."
"There is nothing to do in the forest."
"There is, you just don't see it."
"Well, I guess there is taming Rayquaza."
"Yeah, wait- what!?"
"You know I'm curious if Rayquaza would let itself be tamed by you."
"That's crazy!"
"We should do it."
"No, I'm not trying to tame Rayquaza."
"Chicken."
"I'm not scared just being sensible."
"Chicken."
"Shut up. We used up some time in the arcade but it's still two hours till lunch."
"How far away is the next city?"
"Half an hour."
"That'd leave only an hour to do something. How about over there? It's close to the car if we need to bolt."
"You like bowling?"
"I don't think I've ever played."
"Okay, let's go." Wario didn't actually didn't turn out so bad at bowling getting better the more he played. Their peaceful enjoyment got interrupted when Martha's phone rang, the caller Rita. Martha stared at the screen, music in the background of the bowling alley, the interior darkened and illuminated with neon lights. The girl chewed her lip, her finger hovering over the touch screen deciding to ignore the call looking up to see Wario mow down all pins in the first roll cheering.
'Why did she do that?' Rita wondered staring at her phone. Zen had declined hanging out for them working on figuring out that weird barrier that appeared in the Smash Mansion, word having spread quickly as more of them saw it. 'Maybe she's still helping out, Warioette. Would explain why she's avoiding everyone.' Rita sighed sending a text instead. –Still helping Warioette?-
"Give up, Rita." Martha mumbled having finished her turn. She quickly read the test replying with a yes.
"Your sister?" Wario asked, the bowling ball leaving his hands.
"Yeah." The two finished their game, Wario losing only by ten points. The pair carefully checked for Sam before sneaking into the next entertainment venue not running into Sam until lunch both sitting down in the car, the poor blonde slowly waking after 20 minutes after they left town rubbing his pounding head. Around him, grass had wilted leaving him to wonder why remembering talking to Martha, a loud rumble and everything going black.
The blue haired teen stopped out of sight dropping off Wario at the edge of the forest before coming into view of the Smash Mansion and pulling into the garage with her car. "The teen squad has been roping me into searching high and low for you all day. Not that I mind but I didn't even get to drink a beer and watch the weekly episode of the one show I care to follow." Dalia spoke up leaning in the doorway to the garage, Martha locking the car and turning to the older female.
"Sorry about that. I got side tracked."
"It's fine." Dalia shrugged, the two heading for lunch where everyone wondered how Peach had dealt with the absurd garden crisis the news having spread to every smasher already. A few minutes later they started eating, Sam walked to the table plopping down on a chair with a headache and a brightly colored bump on his forehead making Martha shrink in her seat a little while everyone else stared at Sam's head.
Diana C. Falcon broke the ice, "Sam, what happened to your head?"
"I'm not sure. I remember being in town talking to Martha and then this loud rumble noise came out of nowhere and everything went black." Sam replied. All eyes shifted to Martha for more details, chuckling awkwardly.
"Kids… Kids were playing baseball and pegged you with the ball. Really hard. That rumbling noise was a vehicle." Martha answered.
"Didn't feel like a baseball…"
"But it was a baseball. Kids asked me to apologize for them by the way." Martha added stuffing food in her mouth still feeling eyes on her before they finally peeled away, Sam giving a shrug. The meal proceeded peacefully with the usual banter exchanged and no more questions. Martha finished her food early and left the table so quickly it could be seen as fleeing and once out of sight the girl did start to run dashing to her room grabbing some the promised items jumping a little as she turned around, backpack slung over her shoulder suddenly face to face with Rita. "Rita, why do you have to sneak up on me?"
"What really happened in town? Does it have to with Warioette? I keep it a secret, I promise!" Rita whispered.
Martha sighed eyeing for a second first. She kept the other secret until now. "Sam came to us and Warioette didn't want to be seen so she hid in a trash can. But she had to fart in the trash can which blew off the lid and the lid hit Sam in the head." Rita burst out laughing with tears in her eyes while Martha face palmed with a smile.
"Well… I'm not the only one who knows about Warioette…" Rita mentioned and Martha groaned having forgot about Olivia and Mistress Hand. "Olivia and Mistress Hand know and Elaine but I told them that Warioette didn't want everyone to know yet."
"Thanks."
"But when they asked why, I didn't know what to say so I said the first thing that came to mind which was that she's planning a surprise party which is why it had to be a secret." Rita sighed.
"…"
"Sorry."
"It's okay at least only four know and they are keeping it a secret. I gotta go, I'll be right back."
"Bringing that to Warioette?"
"Yeah." Rita tilted her head not quite why all the fuss but offered a distraction anyway. "Just down burn anything down." The red head grinned at the thought of fire having become quite fond of the hot flames over time along with potatoes. With Rita pulling off a not too suspicious distraction but enough to catch everyone's attention for a minute, Martha easily sprinted to the forest finding Wario napping under a tree. " "Hey, wake up." Wario rubbed his eyes looking at the back and Martha carefully taking out the contents while talking. "Refrain from picking your nose and be careful with the laptop. If you run out of battery here are two more. I don't know what kind of movies you like so I just grabbed a random bunch. And here is lunch."
"I saw blondie come in when spying from my hiding spot. Does he remember what happened?"
"Sort of. Not quite the fart, he just got to the rumbling noise before the lid hit him. I told him that kids playing baseball pegged him. And we have a problem."
"I will never be able to return?" Wario asked.
"No. Olivia, Elaine and Mistress Hand saw you so to keep her promise, Rita said you didn't want to others to know you're here-"
"I don't see the problem."
"-because you're planning a surprise party."
"Oh."
These chapters are so short… Anyway, I hope you like it. Sorry for long waits but I'm more focused on my fantasy books now both are close to a finish and in the one I actually already have the last few events down on loose leaf in point form. I have also been thinking of making a 'Peach on …' series, next one maybe being 'Peach on Weed'XD I also started a prison fic like I don't already have enough planned. Sorry again for late updates, I have also been playing Garry's Mod, Nick and me are building out we want to use for a YouTube thing. Anyway, I'll get the next chapter to you as fast as I can, possibly this weekend as nothing is planned outside the usual:D
