Prologue, part 2

"This way, please!" Toadsworth called to the group. They all gathered around to see the start of the festival. "Please take caution on what goes on around here. I advise you meet the Mario Brothers before you reach Princess Peach's castle. They'll help you with everything there. Cheerio!"

The old man walks away to the castle while the rest of the company tries to figure out what to do.

"So…where are the Mario Brothers?" Garfield hesitates to ask Jon. "And who in lasagna's name are they?"

"How should I know? And stop praising food, Garfield. You know that irks me."

Garfield looks at the word irk on his dictionary, he only gave a smile to Jon, who was still annoyed.

"Hello? Is-a this the Arbuckle family?" A small man in blue overalls, with a red shirt, a red hat with an "M" on the middle of a white circle, a round nose and a bushy moustache came up to ask Jon.

No way, Garfield thought, it can't be….

"Mario, of course it's them! Can't you see the cat?" A slightly taller look-alike to Mario said. Unlike Mario, he was skinner, green and had an "L" on his cap. His moustache wasn't as bushy as his brother's.

"T-The cat? How can you recognize the cat?"

"That's the same cat our aunt's dog messes with!"

That thought cause Garfield's mind to erupt. "YOU'RE MISS FEENY'S NEPHEW'S?"

"YOU'RE GARFIELD?"

"Yeah I am! But who the heck are you?"

"The Mario Brothers," the green cap plumber responds to the orange tabby. "That's Mario, and I'm-a Luigi, number-a one!"

"No you're-a not."

"WHY ARE YOU BRINGING ME DOWN, MAN?"

Nermal came up to the brothers and smack the both of them. "Will you two PLEASE, QUIET DOWN? I'm trying to catch up on my beauty sleep!"

"What beauty?"

Garfield and Mario high five each other, as the both thought the same thing.

Jon came up to Luigi as he was whispering something to him.

"Yep, all the time. I have to clean up after him, feed him, and get him off his butt just to go on an adventure. Alone."

"WOW. He's just like Garfield!"

Mario and Garfield stare at each other for at least a few seconds. They shrugged.

"Anyways, we came to get you to Princess Peach's castle. Do you have everything ready?"

Jon nodded as he picked up his suitcase. Garfield went to carry his, but he was struggling.

"Here, allow me-a." Mario picked the bag up with his two hands. He walked as Garfield came along.

Liz, who had just arrived from the pipe, looks for Jon down Toad Road. Still dizzy, she walks down to reach the others.

"Jon!" Liz's voice was being called out.

Jon stops to see Liz walking down to hill part of Toad Road. He could tell she wasn't feeling good.

"I think you should rest, Liz," Jon states to Liz. The vet could do nothing more but hang on to Jon's elbow.

"It must've been those pipes that got her dizzy," Jon said to himself.

As they slowly made it to the fountain between Toad Town, Jon and Liz sat on the fountain to get some rest, while the others check out Peach's castle over by the lake.

"Wow. That castle sure is bright this time of night."

"If you think its bright now, you got to see the Late-night Mario Kart Grand Prix."

"You guys go go-karting?"

"Yep .Once every four years."

"We should go to the castle and get this party started."

Mario and Luigi went to the castle first, since they knew the way, being followed by the Arbuckle family and friends.

As they made it to the gate of the castle, meteor-like bombs came out of Airships, turning Toads frozen solid.

"What's going on! Is it 2012 ALREADY?" Garfield was shaking up and down, along with everyone else.

"Whatever's-a going on, I know who is making this chaos."

"TO THE CASTLE," Luigi suggested.

As the group heads to the castle, Toads were panicking saying "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE" or,"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" and some where even rocking on their bottoms and weeping.

"Is this what you usually do?" Arlene questioned.

"This just happens-a all the time. And the kingdom's inflation just makes it worse!" Mario answered Arlene's question.

Meanwhile, the Princess and Toadsworth were awaiting the Mario Brothers and their guest newcomers. Peach was holding something, or someone, that looked like a star.

"PRINCESS," Toadsworth called. "WE MUST GET YOU SECURE BEFORE YOU KNOW WHO ARRIVES!"

"I have the feeling he wants more than just me, Toadsworth."

A giant airship came down right in front the Castle balcony and on it was what seemed to be a giant turtle with spikes, claws and a Mohawk.

"Bowser…"

"Princess Peach! You are formally invited to the creation of my new galaxy! " Bowser let out his hearty pirate like laugh and continued his "invitation" speech. "This festival's OVER!" He put hands, or paws, in the air, summoning lightning from his hands as he laughed even more.

Clouds started to form into the starry sky and became an eerie black color. A giant saucer came from above the clouds and glows a red color from the bottom.

Mario and friends came up from Castle Bridge to the door. Right by that instant, the spaceship turned a green color and wobbled around and rapidly changed colors. 3 chains come out and lifted the castle.

"Ladies first." Garfield said to Arlene. She went in without a hassle along with Liz, who was still dizzy from the pipe.

Another turtle-like person, unlike Bowser, he looked like a wizard came out and looked down at the plumbers.

"So Mario brothers, do you think you'll be able to get the Princess this time? WELL THINK AGAIN! And those other guys are going down with you, too!" He charged up his wand and chanted a spell.

"With all Koopa power and all my might, SO LONG AND ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT!"

He put his wand in the air and aimed at the position the heroes were in. The bridge collapsed and sent everyone yelling.

"EEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

TO BE CONTINUED.
