Chapter 29: Sowing & Guiding

Sorry for the late update, I'm working on The Mole: Tricky Enemy lately for my Mole fic, that one if better than this one to just let you know. ^^


Toady: Well, Vivian was supposed to be suspicious but I guess I made her genuine instead… And I decided that the dares will not be sabotaged from the start as I want to see them getting tortured a bit *o* evil me… All of them could be it, the Mole don't want to do obvious sabotages (like numerous times the other Moles did in the other fics) and stay hidden. (WARNING: THIS PARAGRAPH BELOW CONTAINS MAJOY SPOILER OF THE MOLE: TRAITOR ABOARD (By krisetchers and is 1000000000 times better than mine)!)

I was like 'Oh no, Toadette lost and I'm going for her from the start, you Mole Blooper' when Luigi was unmasked the winner. However I was like "WHAT" when Toadette was revealed as the Mole, she didn't sabotage too much but is less than Blooper, in the end many of their mistakes are caused by her so…

FFWS: Sorry about Vivian, I need to get rid of a 100% genuine player first ^^, to tell you the truth, she was supposed to be the 7th executed ^^ and this episode's victim was supposed to be the 4th executed, Jenny made it to the final 4 but not the final 3 and the episode 4 victim volunteered to go first then the red screen appeared, they stated 'I knew it' after the red screen appeared. I kinda shuffled them around a little bit. ^^


Previously on The Mole:

They failed dramatically on the tasting, losing 25000 coins that could be earned for the pot.

After that there's the finding challenge, all of them found the place in time so 20000 coins was added to the pot.

And finally, the craps challenge, everyone got the hard task but they all did it, in the end, Vivian, the most genuine one of the group, also the one who did the hardest task became the Mole's 8th victim.

Vivian's red screen


"I have no idea how came I'm here, I should've been executed a long time ago but this is pure luck, I have to admit it."

Name: Frank

Surname: Flare

Birthday: November 22

Occupation: Security Guard

"I am THRILLED to be here, I mean, I'm sure that I'm gone before the final 6 but here I am! In the final 4! Wow!"

Name: Steven

Surname: Idile

Birthday: August 4

Occupation: Waiter

"Oh my god, oh my god, I can't believe that I'm THAT close to the prize money! I cannot afford to lose now, AT ALL COSTS!"

Name: Lily

Surname: Rockler

Birthday: April 29

Occupation: Artist

"I'm speechless at the fact that me, out of everyone is in the final 4. I'm sure that I'll be executed something before the final 5 and I'm not letting this chance go by."

Name: Parker

Surname: Steelix

Birthday: April 14

Occupation: Competitive Kart Racer

Tonight, one of them will be going home and miss out on the final 3 while the other 2 genuine players will be competing against each other, one of them, will win the entire pot.


Out of these 4 people is the traitor all along, that person, is the Mole.

Some people thinks that Parker is way to genuine, however he did sabotage quite some bits and could sabotage secretly in most of the failed missions, an open and energetic person shouldn't be making silly mistakes that sometimes he make, is it just a coincidence?

Is it Steven, the most timid and nervous one at the executions, survived the entire way to the final 4, maybe it was skills, maybe it was luck, or maybe it's because he could not be executed, he did some minor sabotages but we never know what he really did in the missions yet.

The most sarcastic one, Lily, sabotaged heaps of missions, at least 1 per episode and she will return to her normal self just 10 minutes later. Could she be impressed with herself instead of disappointed? That's one of the things we're going to find out later at the reunion.

Most likely it was Frank, who failed quite a few challenges but his sabotages was dismissed. He isn't too innocent or too obvious, that's what the Mole usually is, and the person that isn't too innocent or too obvious. Sometimes he makes mistakes while he knew what he's doing.

One of them, one of the 4 remaining players, also known as the final 4, is the one who had been lying the entire time.


Today the players will be interviewed before they begin their next mission, Monty was the first to interview them.

"Good morning players." He greeted at the breakfast table, "We would like the Mole to stand up themselves and commit their crime all along." The players laughed at his little joke, "But anyway, I'm wondering why did the Mole call me by their phone last night, they are having a lack of sabotaging ideas lately but they are still doing a fine job." The Mole secretly smiled.

"Monty, just tell us what you're here for." Lily demanded after the Mole finished the smile, or is she the Mole?

Monty smiled mysteriously, "Parker, are you the Mole?"

"I don't think I am." Parker replied.

"Frank, are you the Mole?" Monty asked him.

"Unless I forgot my role or the producers forgot to tell me, no." He replied.

"Steven, are you the Mole?" Monty asked the koopa.

"No I'm not the Mole." Steven answered.

"Lily, are you the Mole?" Monty asked the last one.

"First of all, I don't think I'll tell you even if I am the Mole and secondly, you'll see am I the Mole or not." She replied.

Monty smiled again, "Good, friends, you have a BIG job this morning, you'll be interviewing the players in your rooms, there is a list of what questions to ask and a camera." With that, Monty walked back to his room.

"… Doesn't he want breakfast?" Steven asked after a short silence.


Q1. Are you the Mole? (Say yes and try to convince us)

Frank:

I am the Mole and I sabotaged quite a few missions. I tripped Jenny up in Hostage Finders, didn't do too much in Friendly Duels and I did poorly in the missions that involves water.

Steven:

I am the Mole, I sabotaged a few things. I don't think the Mole would be that obvious or that innocent as their job WAS to sabotage so I would say that I'm in the middle level.

Lily:

I am SO the Mole logically, I fail, or should I say sabotage, at least one challenge per episode and my mood became a bit stressed out day by day, I think only the Mole would be stressed out, right?

Parker:

I am the Mole because I could help when I failed, but at the same time, I think I'm the most genuine one. However I did sabotage more than most of the executed players, look at what I did in the missions that I'm in!

Q2. Are you the Mole? (Say no and try to convince us)

Frank:

I am not the Mole because I'm not smart enough while I helped in most of the missions rather than sabotaging them. Remember the Maze Craze mission where I almost went deaf? I doubt would the Mole keep on going or not.

Steven:

I'm not the Mole because I'm way too weak, both physically and mentally, this job is seriously hard so I don't think I can do it well enough. Like in the Fisher Rafter, I don't think I'll make a fine raft if I was the Mole.

Lily:

Am I the Mole? No I'm not, I'm way too obvious you know. I don't think the Mole will be this obvious, at all. PLUS! I helped out in many missions instead of failing it, even though I admit that I failed quite some but I DID help.

Parker:

I doubt that the Mole will be as innocent as me, no one really suspects me and I helped a lot in the missions. I admit that I failed quite a bit, but not that much, plus, they're all genuine mistakes! Like in Cars Race, who DOESN'T want an exemption?

Q3. What are you going to do with the money if you win the pot?

Frank:

I'm going to move into the castle even though I think it's free. Then I'm going to open a shop instead of being a security guard at the castle, my present occupation is a bit boring to be honest. So I decided that I'm going to deal with customers from now on, but if I lost, it's fine, I'm still being a security guard but I think security guard is better as I'm pretty physically strong.

Steven:

Me? First of all, I'm certain that I'm not going to win the money, how could a koopa like me win the pot? But anyway, if I DID, I'm going to thank Monty and the producers first. Then I'm dragging Kooper along with me to move to Toad Town, where I'm going to buy a bigger house then I think I'm quitting as a waiter and going to be opening a diner with the remaining money.

Lily:

First I'm going to freak out, and then I'm moving to Toad Town with Birdo. I think I'm going to buy an art studio so that I can sell my work OUTSIDE my house unlike before where people stares at the furniture, if it's ok then Allen and Yoshi might be dragged along as well, I think I need to repay Allen something, but he was the idiot there so I guess that works.

Parker:

I'm planning to open a kart store and have my own racetrack. Then I will probably get Steven and Kooper to move into the castle if they don't mind. I should be buying a tool kit and teaches Steven how to drive without RAMMING the car into PIECES OF STEEL, but I think that I should get some sponge and springs around the car so that it would not be THAT bad, but I still think the normal life is the best.

After the interview, they returned to their rooms and in the afternoon, Monty gave them their next task. Their friends are not allowed to come this time.


Monty was holding a needle attached to a string in his left hand and a Guiding Book in his right hand.

"Hi players." He greeted, "Please split into the needle & string group and the guiding book group." The players laughed at the groups and went into discussion.

Lily: This is amazing, I don't think that anyone could come up with a 'better' group of names for these 2 items.

Frank: I still think the reverse logic in The Mole will come into play again.

"I think that the needle and the string meant sowing, I'm the only girl left so I think I'm going to be in the sowing group." Lily suggested, "I also think that Steven should be in it as he's the least clumsy out of the 3 of you."

Frank shrugged, "I think the reverse logic is coming into play again, I would say that Steven and I will be in the sowing group and you and Parker be in the guiding group." Lily gritted her teeth.

"It's only a suggestion and who are you to be the leader!?" She shouted.

"I'm the oldest one here so deal with it, if I'm executed this episode then you're the leader, got it?" Frank told her like a boss.

"… Fine." Lily agreed after a few seconds.

"Monty Steven and I are in the sowing group and Lily and Parker are in the guiding book group." Frank told Monty and he nodded.

Monty motioned that Steven and Frank to come with him. "You 2 follow me." They followed Monty out.

Steven: Oh dear, I have a feeling that Monty isn't planning anything good for us…

Paratroopa flew down from the ceiling, "And you 2, come with me." He led Lily and Parker out through the opposite door, the Mole could only think that will they sabotage this time or not.

Parker: Oh boy, this isn't going to be as good as I thought. We are literally going to a bus.


In the sowing group, Monty led them to a hall where there's a stage in the center, also on the stage is a hexagonal shape of steel bars, on each edge (6 of them) there's a clothes hanger, 5 of them had a dress on them each while one of them is empty.

"You job is to make a dress in 3 hours and hang it on the clothes hanger." Monty explained, "But there will be a fashion expert coming in afterwards and if they chose the one that you created as your creation, you lose the challenge and if they didn't get it, you win 25000 coins. Got it?" He asked and the players nodded, Monty nodded himself before heading out, when he's out of the building, Frank received a slap in the face from Steven.

"Humph!" Steven turns back and walked away to the stage.

Frank: Oh no, I think Steven hates me now, I feel like an idiot for choosing this role, ugh!

Steven: Humph! Frank is such an idiot that he screwed the choosing stage up, completely!


Paratroopa led Lily and Parker inside the bus.

"Your mission is to act like tour guides and not getting discovered by the 30 tourists, at the end of the 3 hour tour the tourists will receive a card and rank your tour from 1 to 10, if all of the cards' scores are 8 or above, you win 15000 coins, if even one of them rated this below 8, you lose this challenge, AND to win this, you'll need to tell 2 jokes that makes people laugh EACH and tell 2 lies that doesn't exist EACH, I should be going as the tourists are coming." He left the bus, leaving the other 2 speechless inside the bus at their task.

Lily: I hate that Frank, even if we're coalition partners, he is so dead, everyone knows that, right?

Parker: I think the laughing part is possible but the lying part would be hard for me as I rarely lie.


While Frank was rubbing his face where Steven slapped (this scene was directly after the scene change), Steven was inspecting the dresses, one of them is a high dress that goes up to your neck and it's ruby red, another one is emerald green while it's a normal pajama dress that has straps over the shoulders, the one opposite to the empty edge is the same type of dress as the ruby red one except it was night black, the next one is an icy blue dress that looked like Rosalina's but doesn't have sleeves while it's plain icy blue and the final one was like the last one except it was dolphin gray.

"I think that we should make a beautiful dress Frank, the fashion expert should be saying the crappy pajama one is ours." Steven suggested and looked towards Frank, who was at the place where all the fabric was, "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!?" Steven shouted, Frank turned back with a shudder.

Frank: I never thought that Steven could be this scary, I heard that he used some very strong vocabulary in his journal from Kooper.

Steven: I am really pissed off at the fact that Frank selected us with 'reverse' logic, he just ignores me most of the time and I wonder why I had to spend my day with him.

Frank walked over to him, "Steven, you may seem very innocent and timid on the outside but I think something is stressing you out."

Steven rolled his eyes, "You know, you ignoring me almost every single time when I'm talking to you are making me mad. Plus that you just assigned me to this mission, out of all missions."

"But please, I swear that I will not ignore you anymore and." Frank started.

"And what?" Steven asked.

"Sorry, I was unprepared to say that, give me a second while I think of something to continue." Frank apologized as Steven sweat-dropped.

Steven shook his head in disbelief, "Seriously." He laughed, "No need to be serious this time, it's only a game, it's only a game." He tapped Frank on the face and went to the fabric station.

"And Steven." Frank remembered something.

"And what?" Steven smiled.

Frank took a deep breath, "There's a cockroach in the pile." Steven shuddered.

"THAT JUST MADE MY DAY WORSE!" He shouted, "Hmm?" He took his hand out and there was the large cockroach (at the size of your palm) on the back of his hand. "AHHHHHHH!" He freaked out and started to run around with the cockroach holding his wrist.

"I think it likes you." Frank sat down in a chair.

"GET THIS THING AWAY FROM ME!" Steven kept on freaking out and the cockroach flew onto his face, after another second of freezing on the spot, he fainted (again).


On the other side, Lily and Parker and inviting the tourists in.

"Welcome! Welcome to the Lily & Parker tour bus!" Parker shouted, earning a pinch and the leg (because of the shell, Lily can't pinch him anywhere else), "OW! What was that for!?"

"Shhhhh." Lily shushed him and pointed to their badges, Parker's had the name 'Shane' on it and Lily's has the name 'Fiona' on it.

"Oh…" Parker realized his stupid mistake.

"Huh?"A toad asked, "Isn't this bus called the 'Shane n Fiona Mole tour trip tour bus'?"

"Oh sorry, we decided to do a little rap there." Parker apologized.

Lily kicked him in the leg, "Sorry, he just mispronounced the thing." She smiled kindly while Parker was making his way into the bus when Lily kicked him again, telling him to go onto the bus.

When everyone was aboard, Parker gave Lily a glare, "What the hell Lily!?" He asked.

"You nearly cost us the entire mission!" Lily sneered back. Parker sighed and the bus departed.

Parker: I think that Lily is just being too organized there, I need to watch out for that toad as he should have suspicions on us.

Lily: Parker raised in my list day by day, he isn't suspicious at the start however in the recent episodes, he had sabotage too much.


Next time on The Mole: Saboteur Investigation:

"Steven you ok now?" Frank asked the koopa 15 minutes later when he woke up, "I shooed the cockroach outside."

"Thank you." Steven thanked him and then looked around, "Please don't tell me that you didn't do anything during the time I fainted." Frank started to sweat as he nodded.

"You see-" He started but was cut off by another one of Steven's slaps.

"Humph!" Steven turns around and went to the fabric station.

"Oh can't you do anything right Parker?" Lily scolded the paratroopa quietly with gritted teeth.

"Yeah, I know, I know, it's only a mistake." Parker told her.

Lily gritted her teeth even more, "Yeah yeah, congratulations, you had just made a mistake that could cost us 15000 coins." She said sarcastically.

"I think it's way too dangerous." Hammer told Monty.

Birdo nodded, "I agree, Lily's task was WAY too risky."

Monty smiled, "It's ok, it's only to test do they have enough courage or not."


Sorry for the super late update Toady! I just want you know that I didn't make this a dead fic. ^^ Until next time!
