Chapter 2.0: A Personal Invitation
Alboort sat in a lawn chair on the beach, typing in his cyber-journal.
Well, everything seems to be going well. After having Ashley join, Waluigi and I decided to take it easy and stay at Isle Delfino for a while.
Waluigi actually seems to have a real interest in playing Beach Volleyball, as he has even played with some of the local Piantas and Nokis. I wonder if he's just trying to hide his true intentions, though, as he has continually tried to get Ashley to join in, even having bought her a swimsuit.
Ashley, however, seems to have an aversion to most sunlight. Seeing how she spends most of her time inside and how a constant storm used to swirl around her house, I suppose this constant seclusion from sun might force her to burn easily. That doesn't stop Waluigi from trying, though. Even if he does convince her to come to the beach, she usually is carrying an umbrella wherever she goes.
It should be interesting to see if Wal-
Alboort paused. "Hm. What's this?" He moved his mouse and clicked on a little flashing message icon. A message with a bowser beacon at the top popped up on his screen. Alboort began to read:
Dear Waluigi gang,
I happen to be throwing the Koopa Ball in a few days, and I was hoping I could get everyone on my list to attend. However, one guest is a bit persistent in not coming.
I need someone to extend Princess Peach a "personal invitation". I would do it myself, but I'm needed at my castle to help prepare the ball.
I happened to hear what happened at WarioWare Inc., and I must say that I am impressed with your thieving skills. Do you think you could give Peach my invitation? I would be willing to reward handsomely for your time and effort.

Alboort's glasses glinted as he shut his laptop. "Waluigi! Ashley! We have another job!"

Chapters like (number).0 means the prologue of a mission/location/chapter-thing. They do not have any real missions happening in them, so they don't count towards any real numbers, unlike Practice Makes Perfect.
Okay. I think I should explain the recurring Beach Volleyball joke. I was thinking about the Mario sports series and what would be next. An image of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi popped into my head, discussing the next sport in a conference room. Mario would probably suggest something like Rugby or American Football, or something that requires guts and teamwork. Luigi would probably choose something like Croquet or Table Tennis, of some game that doesn't involve direct contact with other players. Wario would prefer the idea of wrestling, or he was probably the reason why motorbikes were introduced in Mario Kart Wii. Waluigi then would probably suggest Beach Volleyball, because it was nothing like the others' ideas and was good in his mind. The other three, though, would probably look at their out-of-shape frames and throw Waluigi out of the conference.
Now, why would Waluigi want Beach Volleyball? He's tall and can jump high, so gameplay wouldn't be hard for him. Also, as far as male Mario characters go, he could probably get away with wearing a swimsuit. On top of that, he's single, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to look at girls in swimsuits.
Enjoy and Review.
