Chapter 3: Ashley's Feelings

Wario has arrived presumably at Ashley's Mansion or if not, an Abandoned Mansion. Wario decided to park his motorcycle behind a couple of trees just so no one suspects that he is at the Mansion.

Then, Wario slowly tiptoe up to the Mansion as quietly as he can...and peek one of the front windows. He sees...nothing...he wanted to know if it's Ashley's house so he yells, "Gaaaayyyy!".

Ashley was in the basement with Red making evil magic potion in the cauldron. Ashley hears it and asks, "Red? Why don't you go check outside to see who's yelling outside?".

Red felt a bit fear, but has to do it because Ashley is cooking up something and he agrees to go check outside.

Wario thought that it was an Abandoned Mansion and he was about to go in, but suddenly, he hears footsteps inside the house. Wario runs around the corner to hide and wait a bit.

Wario hears the front door open and Red came outside and he saw nothing. "Hmm...there's nothing outside that's suspicious...I better look around just to be safe for Ashley and me…", thought Red. Red goes around the house…

...and Wario hears footsteps again. Wario decided to give his body free reign to make whatever weird sound it wants. Wario farted loudly. Red was shocked and yelled, "What the hell?!".

Wario was worried about getting caught and his next move was going under the floor just before Red rounds to the corner. Wario then dashed for it when Red finally rounds the corner all the way.

Red hears the skittering noise and he didn't see anything, but he smells it and thought, "Pee-yew! There's an animal on the loose! I better round it up and release it back to the wild!". Red was worried about how Ashley would look up to him.

Wario dash through the door before Red can peek back around. Ashley heard a sound inside the house and decided to see if everything was okay. Wario is inside and heard footsteps from outside and in the basement.

Wario decides to hide in the closet. Red got inside seeing Ashley in sight and exclaimed, "Ashley! I smell something outside and I think there's a wild animal on the loose!".

"What!? I've heard the sound inside, so this animal...has gotten inside the house...that's perfect for...my experiment...", trailed off Ashley evilly.

"Yes...of course...let's find the animal inside the house...and cook it…", trailed off Red evilly and he closes the door to make sure that an "animal" wouldn't get out. Wario decided on a plan. "I will have to steal SOMETHING inside this house, find out about Ashley, and get the heck outta here before she cooks me!", thought Wario.

Ashley and Red have start searching the house. He had came up with a plan. He heard that Ashley and Red were getting into other rooms and looking for that "animal" and Wario opens it quietly and close it quietly without making too much squeaking noise or at least, try to mask the sound that Ashley and Red makes with their footsteps. Wario then tiptoe out of the room.

Wario tiptoe on what it appears to be the kitchen room. He heard footsteps again and he decided to hide in the Kitchen Cabinet. "Wow...some pretty nice food in here…", thought Wario and he ate a garlic inside.

Ashley and Red came in the kitchen and Ashley said, "Red, you better get the spices for the animal that we're gonna make with my evil magic.".

"Yes ma'am!", said Red and he got the spices out of the upper pantry in the kitchen.

While Red and Ashley were looking for spices to cook up an "animal", Wario wanted to throw them off of finding Wario so...he lets the hunger get the better of him and eat all the food he can find inside the pantry.

Red and Ashley stops what they're doing and listen to the "animal" eating. Red and Ashley discuss the plan and they decided to trap an animal.

When they're done discussing about it, they have got out of the kitchen to get some traps set up for an "Animal". Wario decided that he had to get to the basement in order to steal Ashley's treasure. He gets out quietly and tiptoe to the basement.

When he got to the basement, he found out that Ashley was cooking up potion in her cauldron… "Hmm...Ashley is really interested in cooking up...evil stuff…", thought Wario. Wario decided to look for the "treasure" that he's going to steal. He tries looking for it at the basement, but fails to find anything that is valuable to Wario.

"Ashley must've known that keeping her valuables in the basement is not safe…because the valuables themselves is useful to her! That means she must've kept anything valuable in the attic!", thought Wario. Wario then decided that he should try looking for it upstairs in Ashley's Mansion and he tiptoe it all the way upstairs. Ashley got her traps out of the room with Red and they were about to go downstairs.

Ashley and Red saw Wario tiptoeing upstairs and Ashley angrily yells, "WARIO!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?!". Wario screams and falls down the steps. Red rushed to Wario to see if Wario is alright.

"Boss! Are you alright?", asked Red in desperation.

Wario sits up and said, "Oh, I'm fine my friend…".

"Wario. What are you doing at Master Ashley's house?", asked Red.

"What should I do?! Should I lie and tell them I was lost in traffic or should I tell them the truth of wanting to hang out?", thought Wario. Wario decides to lie to Ashley to be safe.

"Uh...I got lost in traffic because...there was construction going on and I have to take a detour to my home and instead, I ended up what I thought to be is an abandoned Mansion so…", chuckled Wario nervously.

Ashley looks at Wario with suspicion in his eyes and she detects fear in his body. "Wario...", said Ashley in a strict tone.

"What?", questioned Wario with a small amount of fear in his tone.

"I don't believe in your lies. I can see your eyes...like you've hide something that you've tried...don't lie to me Wario…", said Ashley in a spooky tone looking at him very angrily. Her hair turns to white within her strong sense of anger.

Wario was feeling spooked, he decided to be partially honest and said, "Okay! Okay! I'll tell you the truth! I may just want to know where you live and...I want to hang out with you…can I please hang out with you?". Wario then kneels on the floor begging to stay in house just to look for money and her interests.

Ashley looks into his eyes and this time, she sees him looking like he's really scared. Ashley let her hair calm down to black because she is calm and Ashley wanted to tell him to get out, but decided to be nice to Wario and so, she said, "Sure. You can hang out here...if you want to…".

Red was surprised. He asks, "Why does Wario have to stay here Ashley?".

Ashley leans to Red ears and whispered, "Well...if we are going to use somebody on the experiment, we may need Wario as an ingredient in order to make something evil. Besides, I don't trust him because we know he's going to steal something inside this house. Can you watch him for me in case if he attempts to steal anything that is valuable?".

Red whispered, "Sure. I'll watch him.".

"Thank you very much! I just want to hang out with you just to be...friends?", chuckled Wario nervously. Ashley smiled a little. Red had suspicion on Wario.

"Well, why don't you just come in and see me making potions?", said Ashley. Ashley and Red were walking to her basement.

"Okay!", exclaimed Wario and he follow her to the basement. Then Wario sits down on a chair and sees Ashley is cooking up the evil potion. Wario asks, "So...what evil stuff are you going to make?".

"Hmm...anything that is evil…", trailed off Ashley. Then, Ashley got something boiling in her cauldron. The cauldron is boiling out of...a Flaming Red Bubble.

"Wow...that is some evil magic right there...you've just made a creature from the Legend of Zelda Series…", trailed off Wario in an astonishment. Ashley is disappointed about it.

"Don't worry Ashley, you will get better next time…", trailed off Red. Ashley was feeling okay about it and agrees. Wario was surprised that not what's in her mind.

"Yeah...you're getting better every time?", said Wario in confusion.

Ashley smiles a little bit and said, "Thanks you guys...I will be improved upon…". Ashley used her wand and shoots at the Flaming Red Bubble. Then, the Flaming Red Bubble disappears.

"Where does that thing go when you shoot it?", asked Wario.

"Well...it transport somewhere that is scary enough place that NO one wants to visit.", said Ashley.

Wario yawns and said, "Well...it's late at night...I think I should get going…". Ashley's reaction was a bit disappointed while Red was fine with it.

"Okay...see you at...Monday…", trailed off Ashley. Red saw a bit of disappointment on Ashley's face. "It was fun...having you around…", said Ashley. Wario felt that his plan is a success.

"Yes! I've gain Ashley's trust...but what about Red? How will I get him to trust me?", thought Wario. Wario then exits the house and gets into the forest where he parked his motorcycle. Ashley watches him on the window as he gets on, turns on, then drove away.

"Ashley...are you okay?", asked Red.

Ashley stops feeling disappointed and said, "Yes Red. I'm fine. It's just that I would've rather made a Stalfos instead when I'm cooking up evil...I'm just tired...let's get to bed.". Red believes in her, but Ashley hides her feeling about Wario. "Wario...you're the first one to getting inside my house...without running away. Not only that, you've also tried to steal something by trying to hide from me and failed. Wario also like my magic...I...like...that.", thought Ashley. Ashley and Red gets prepared to go to bed and they went to sleep.

When Wario arrives home, Wario felt satisfied that he gained Ashley's Trust. "Wow...I thought that I should've got Red's trust first, but Ashley? That was a lot easier than I thought it would be…", thought Wario. Wario decided that he should go to bed and come up with a plan on Saturday.


The next morning, Ashley woke up with a feeling of weirdness while Red woke up just fine. When they're up for breakfast, Ashley asks, "Red? Is there a possible reason why Wario...came into our house yesterday?".

Red thought about it for a moment and said, "Do you remember that we didn't trust Wario due to possibly robbing our house? Well, I think he thought that this was an abandoned mansion and thinks that he can steal stuff for free and planning to get rich quick scheme…".

Ashley thought for the moment and said, "But honestly, I don't see anything that is missing from yesterday...I wonder if he gone upstairs just to steal my stuff...I think I have another reason why…".

"What's another reason that you think Wario came into the house yesterday?", asked Red.

"Do you think that...Wario...likes...me?", questioned Ashley.

Red spits out his cereal on the floor and said, "No way Ashley! Why would you think of THAT?! I mean, I don't know if workplace romances are acceptable in WarioWare Inc.! I know there's a risk though and I don't want both of us getting fired in the company...".

"Hmm...it looks like that I should look it up on the internet for safety reasons…", said Ashley and she continues to eat her breakfast. When she's done eating her breakfast, she went to her computer to check out "Workplace Romance".

A half of hour later, Ashley was concerned about Wario's approach with her. "Hmm...I don't want Wario to get in trouble either...I mean...does he REALLY likes me Red?", asked Ashley.

"I don't think so...besides...there's got to be a logical explanation that Wario came into our house yesterday…", trailed off Red.

"But what if Wario ACTUALLY likes me? I mean, I wanted the boss to feel like...he's been loved by someone...but maybe not in the workplace. The workplace would fall apart if we shown love there...I don't want both of us to leave the workplace if found out...I think we need to come up with a plan if Wario and I break up.", said Ashley.

Red thought about it for a moment and questioned, "Okay...how are going to come up with a plan of break up and not interfere with our work?".

Ashley and Red are planning a possible breakup between Ashley and Wario. Red tries to have more reasonable and logical explanation besides Wario liking Ashley. That includes possible robbery, nowhere to get food, nowhere to sleep, and possibly needing help after getting lost.

Ashley understands but says, "Red. We don't know if Wario's Goal is love or money. The only possibility of Wario being a gold digger is that he doesn't show his feelings towards me when I'm miserable or any other feelings, but he did show interest to me yesterday and I felt...a little bit of happiness on me.".

"He did show that interest...but I'm concern if he's 100 percent honest on himself. I mean, he just want to hang out but…", trailed off Red.

"But I'm aware that Wario would be stealing my stuff and I want you to watch him just to make sure he isn't stealing anything. Besides, I think the best way to break up with is to tell him I'm not interested…", trailed off Ashley.

"Yeah...the sooner, the better…", agreed Red happily.

Ashley felt disappointed on how she would turn down that opportunity if Wario is strongly interested in her. "Honestly, I'm...somewhat...interested...in...him...", trailed off Ashley sadly.

Red's reaction is astonishing. "WHAT?! You're interested in Wario?! How?!", exclaimed Red.

"Well...I never told him that I like his mustache...I really do. His mustache looks so cool...and so evil...Wario may be greedy and mean sometimes, but I loved on how Wario is so...strict on game developing like he has a serious personality. He is funny...but I never shown laughter...I've heard he hates the Mario Bros…and so do we. Do you remember Luigi attempted to suck the ghost out of my house Red?", questioned Ashley.

"I definitely remember…", trailed off Red.

"Yeah. I've provided refuge for the Boos one time and King Boo likes me and my spooky house. Luigi suck out the Boos and we tried defeating him, but alas, we really failed to defeat Luigi. He make my house less scary than before AND he stole some of my stuff that cost about 1.2 Million U.S. Dollars! His reason is that he wanted to 'get rid of scary stuff' for me but I LOVE scary stuff in our house!", yelled Ashley in anger with her hair turning white.

"Calm down Ashley. Luigi's not here anymore…", said Red rubbing her back to calm her down. Ashley felt calm and her hair turning back to normal.

"Thanks Red. Maybe Wario...is the guy...that I would...want to...date…let's get back to business and look for ingredients outside of my home…", said Ashley and Red agrees.

They were about to go out when suddenly, an envelope was slipped under the front door. Ashley fears that it's the government that sent out the mail. Red picks up the mail and bravely opens the envelope...

Will the mail contain anything that malicious to Ashley? Or does the mail contains something special? Tune in next time on this Fanfic!
