Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus: You know what, folks? I'll give you all a little tidbit on this chapter, because what I have to say sort of explains this chapter/episode. You see, folks, today on this fine, cloudy Saturday, I went to the bathroom at 9:00 AM in the morning, when I realized that I didn't have any soap left. So you could sort of say that this chapter was influenced by that. And now that you all know, read and enjoy the chapter- err, episode, ladies and gentlemen!

Disclaimer: You know, it amazes me how we somehow manage to get at least a thousand words per chapter ever since this whole thing started.

Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus: (grins) It is interesting, no? I put lost of effort into my recent stories. Much better than my old ones.

Disclaimer: (scoffs, rolls eyes) Sure, Yoshizilla, sure...

Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus: Disclaimer, shut up. You don't even have any prove to back up your claims.

Disclaimer: My claims? What makes you think that-

Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus: All right, enough, Disclaimer, just shut up. Roll the chapter!


It was a bright, sunny morning in the Mushroom Kingdom. As the mushroom citizens of Toad Town, the Mushroom Kingdom's capital, went about with their usual business, Mario's House, which was guarded by the eight-foot stone wall the Kremlings built, was teeming with plenty of energy about. As you can all clearly see, outside of Mario's House, in the front yard, the Kremlings were building up a grassy tennis court for the upcoming tennis game Mario and Luigi planned out yesterday. Mario was about ready to take a shower, but to his dismay, when he opened the bathroom cabinets, he noticed there was one thing crucial that was not there... soap. Closing the cabinets, Mario exited the bathroom, still in his red-and-blue pajamas, as he approached Luigi, King K. Rool, and two young Kritter boys.

"I need soap. Does anyone here have soap?" Mario asked as he looked at each of the four characters surrounding him, taking off his red cap and scratching his head, with was covered with brownish hair.

KIng K. Rool rubbed the back of his head. "Uhhhh..." He pulled out what appears to be a worn out, green bar of soap, handing it to Mario. "It's not much, but will this do?"

Mario glanced at the old bar of soap, and he then glared at King K. Rool, shaking his head with disappointment. "...How do I manage to put up with you..." He then snatched the bar of soap and observed it closer, appalled. "What the he- K. Rool, this soap is old and busted!"

King K. Rool folded his arms, snuffing. "Humph. So what?" He retorted, apparently not caring about Mario's complaining.

Mario flipped out, tossing the bar of soap on the ground. "So what!? I need sop to wash my hands and keep myself clean!" He then shoved his face into King K. Rool. "Do you know what Princess Peach will think or say if she noticed that I was dirty or smelly because of not washing myself with soap?"

King K. Rool blinked, a few seconds later grinning. "Why do you need her, anyway?" He started laughing. "Let's be completely honest, she's a terrible ruler. At least Bowser manages to maintain his kingdom despite being beaten plenty of times. At least he actually does something than sit around on his butt all day, which Peach does."

Mario was shocked, feeling as if he was kicked in the privates. Fumes started coming out of his ears as his face turned bright red with anger. "Don't... don't you dare say anything bad about my Peach like that..." He hissed as he shook his right fist at King K. Rool, "She only does that because the Mushroom Kingdom is a bore!"

Luigi gasped in shock, overhearing the whole thing as he was reading the Mushroom Kingdom Times on his local newspaper. "Mario! I'm surprised at you." He shook his head as he frowned, stating, "No pasta for tonight! Mario, you should be ashamed of yourself!" And with that, he headed back into the bedroom, folding the newspaper and placing it in the newspaper cabinet.

King K. Rool watched as Luigi went back into the bedroom, and then turned into Mario, covering his mouth with his right hand as he started snickering. "Well, looks like that costed you something, eh Mario?" He then started laughing as he headed into his bedroom, taking his worn out bar of soap with him.

Mario's left eye twitched as he started flipping out, plopping on the ground as he cursed in Italian. The two Kremlings merely shrugged as they followed King K. Rool, only to bypass the bedroom and head into the living room to play some Mario Kart Wii on Mario and Luigi's rainbow-colored Nintendo Wii.


Mario's POV

Ohhhh, if only I had ate my precious mushrooms, I would have given King K. Rool a pounding. That goon doesn't even know that Peach makes surprise appearances at my house! Hopefully, one day, he'll learn... and if he doesn't, then I'll just have to pound some sense into his head.

King K. Rool's POV

You know, there are other ways to be clean... and it's not like Mario really sees Princess Peach Toadstool as much as he did before since me and the Kremlings moved in. But hey, that's humans for you - they're always motivated by something.

The Kremlings' POV

We sorta were stumped on how to finish up the tennis court. So we decided to wait until one of the Mario Brothers came out and help us. Of course, we would ask King K. Rool, but the King would reject it in five seconds flat, so...

That, and Mario Kart Wii is awesome. Kudos to the people who made it, the online is fantastic. Every Kremling and the King's loyal non-Kremling subjects must get this game...

Luigi's POV

Do people even pay attention to me anymore...?
