3-Making Friends

Mario stared at the bags on the ground for a while, before sighing. Then, he decided to spy on everybody through the window. He would go in there, but he was too angry to speak to anyone right now.

He stood up, and went over to the window on the door. He would see what everyone was doing before Toadswarth came back.

Peach and Daisy picked up a plate of food from the table at the other side of the room. They then saw a pink hedgehog eating and a lilac cat sitting at the table. Peach and Daisy both had the idea of making friends with them and walked over to their table. After Peach and Daisy placed their trays on the table, they looked up.

"Hi!" They princesses greeted.

"Hi." The hedgehog and cat said.

"I'm princess Peach!"

"And I'm Daisy!"

"Amy Rose." The hedgehog said.

"Blaze, the Cat." The cat said.

"Isn't this exciting? Going to camp?" Peach asked.

"Yeah." Amy answered.

"Not really." Blaze said.

"Why not?" Daisy asked. "I think camp is fun..."

"Well...I don't know. Actually, I didn't even want to come in the first place."

"Well maybe once we make friends, we just might change our minds about it." Peach smiled. "Can we sit with you?" Blaze jerked.

"What?"

"Can we sit with you, please?" Peach repeated. Blaze had an unsure look about her. Amy, the pink hedgehog, smiled and nodded.

"Sure!" Peach and Daisy smiled at each other before sitting down.

Luigi saw a black hedgehog sitting by himself at one of the tables. He hesitated to go up to him, I mean, he didn't look too friendly. He looked…mean, which encouraged him not to go near him. Luigi really wanted to make a friend, but he also wanted to be safe. So he forced himself to ignore the lone hedgehog and look for someone else to sit with.

This was hard; he wanted to sit with somebody…safe that is. He sighed, maybe he'll just sit with one of the princesses, Mario or Yoshi. But the princesses are sitting with two other girls, and they were rather pretty to Luigi's opinion. He couldn't find Yoshi anywhere, though he always had trouble finding Yoshi in crowded places. And Mario didn't even enter the cafeteria. Maybe he'll just sit by himself and try again later, they have two and a half months anyway.

Yoshi wasn't hungry, he ate breakfast before coming to camp. Plus the Goombas were in charge of cooking breakfast, and he didn't like the Goombas' cooking. He liked the Koopas' cooking a little better, they were in charge of lunch. The Bob-ombs and Boos were the best in his opinion; the Boos were in charge of dinner and Bob-ombs make desert. It was best for Bob-ombs not to cook with skillets or frying pans since that might set themselves on fire and blow up if they're not careful. So they were forbidden to touch the stoves. Just the ovens and toasters, that's it. If they need to make something that requires the stove, they either have to ask a Goomba, a Koopa or a Boo to assist them.

Yoshi decided to randomly say hi to people, maybe start a conversation and such. A little idle chit-chat and what not. Start a couple of friendships and such. He then looked around the room to see who he could talk to, not too many he seemed interested in talking to. He didn't like that huge green crocodile so much, just by looking at him. Those two pretty girls were taken by Peach and Daisy. That black hedgehog looked like a jerk, so Yoshi instantly disliked him. And that weird scientist with an egg-shaped body somehow reminded him of Bowser, so he instantly disliked him too. Yoshi just didn't seem to like any of the other people.

Though that orange fox seemed nice…nah, still not interested.

He then saw Luigi who was sitting at one of the central tables, eating his breakfast. Yoshi just wondered how anyone can stand eating that nasty food those Goombas cooked, maybe there's something wrong with his taste buds…He then went to the table Luigi was sitting and sat right in front of him.

"This stinks, I can't find anyone to talk to." Yoshi sighed. "Did you have any luck?" Luigi took a sip of his orange juice before answering.

"Nope, but don't worry Yosh. We have plenty of time to make friends. There's still two and a half months, so we have all the time in the world."

"Hmph, maybe you're right…And where's Mario? Shouldn't he be in here?"

"Well I didn't see him come into the cafeteria."

"Well I'll just look for him." Yoshi got up from the table and began to search for Mario. Suddenly, Yoshi bumped into a blue hedgehog from earlier before.

Mario peered through the glass, he wanted to know what Yoshi and that blue porcupine were talking about. Are they telling the other to watch where they're going? But neither of them looked angry. Mario could only guess what they were talking about.

They apologized to each other…now they're talking…After Yoshi said something, the blue hedgehog seemed to laughed. Mario's eyes widened. Yoshi said something…and the blue dude laughed…Was it something funny? Was it a joke? Or was it something goofy? Mario was getting frustrated, what the heck did Yoshi say? Yoshi then walked to a different direction from the door as the blue hedgehog went about his business. Mario then got away from the door.

I wonder what's taking Toadswarth so long… As Mario turned around, he bumped into the blue hedgehog that just came out of the cafeteria. Mario froze, he couldn't find the words to say. It was sudden that this guy he was just spying on bumped into him just now.

"Wow, you're the second person I bumped into today." The blue hedgehog stated. "Sorry about that."

Mario stuttered. "Uh, no…problem." The blue hedgehog smiled before walking back into the cafeteria. Mario thought for a minute; why did the blue hedgehog say what he said before he apologized? He didn't have to say that...how wierd. Mario didn't know why, but this hedgehog seemed so interesting…he wants to get to know him a little better. He would even like to know his name, he didn't answer Toadswarth's question from earlier.

Speaking of the devil; Toadswarth came back with everyone else.

"Ah, Master Mario!" he said. "Would you like to see the cabins?" Mario just nodded. He still wasn't going to speak to Toadswarth, especially since he forced him to go to this stupid camp. Toadswarth then asked Toad to get everyone out of the cafeteria to escort them to their cabins.
