"...so, you think we should go and see how they're doing?" R.O.B. suggested to Arceus as he moved his metal arms around, both of them being in the present day.

Arceus chuckled as he shook his head. "Oh, those four are doing fine. I used my powers to see just where they are." He smirked, somehow, as he nodded his head, closing his eyes. "We don't have to worry too much."

"...worry too much?" R.O.B. remarked as he squinted his electronic eyes. "What is there to worry about, then?"

"Oh finally!" Toadette exclaimed as she sat in the boat, sitting on the far right to get a good view on the water. "I've been waiting to ride for so long!"

"The way the line was moving made it seem like we wouldn't get here until ten chapters later." Silver The Hedgehog chuckled as he sat down next to Toadette.

"Good thing it was only two chapters then." Dry Bowser stated as he sat next to Silver.

"...Ooh, I just love a good boat ride!" Petey Piranha exclaimed as he was the last one to get in, with all four characters by the front as a female human skipper appeared, the boat starting up as the four and everyone else cheered.

King Boo, meanwhile, was getting the hang of the mechanical sharks populating the lake, chuckling as he waited for his time to shine.
