Chapter 8 Jewel's past.

(At around 10AM Yoshi resorts to using pillows to try to turn the match in his favor. But Birdo grabbed a bigger pillow and knocked his out of his hand. The battle lasted one more hour and she soon was the victor of the wrestling match and had Yoshi pinned to the floor tickling him.)

Birdo: "Goochie goo! Who's the winner? It's me not you!"

Yoshi: "HAHAHAHA N-NAHO! I G-AHNA CAHAHEM BACK!" (Yoshi did not want to admit Birdo won, not out of pride but he really enjoyed being pinned and tickled. No one ever tickled him this violently before.)

Birdo: "Alright if Yoshi isn't gonna say I won then Birdo just gonna KEEP ON TICKLING!"

(Yoshi thought: "YES THAT EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!" Yoshi just stayed... "silent?" laughing but not talking. Birdo, although she said she was tickling Yoshi to punish him for not admitting she won, she knew very well he wanted her to tickle him. She continued tickling him. That is until Happy and Jewel came in.)

Jewel: "Happy, what is going on in there?"

Happy: "Yoshi's laughing, Birdo has him on the ground. You call him in here I'll talk with Birdo."

Jewel: "YOSHI GET IN HERE THIS INSTANT!"

(Birdo let's go of Yoshi)

Yoshi: "Birdo won alright? But one second."

(Yoshi walks out of the living room.)

Yoshi: "Yah mama?"

Jewel: "Are you hurt any?"

Yoshi: "What!? Of course not!"

Jewel: "What was she doing to you!?"

Yoshi: "Nothing mama!"

Jewel: "She had you pinned on the ground!"

Yoshi: "Me and Birdo were... uhm..."

Jewel: "Is it worse?"

Yoshi: "Birdo was tickling me. We were tickle wrestling and Birdo won."

Jewel: "How could she think she could touch you like that!? Complete invasion of privacy! I'm telling her to get out now!"

Yoshi: "NO MAMA PLEASE NO! She really fun!"

Jewel: "YOU CALL THAT FUN!?"

Yoshi: "Well... I like being..."

Jewel: "Like being what?"

Yoshi: "I like being tickled... I no know why..."

Jewel: "You like her touching you like that?"

Yoshi: "I don't know why... yes."

Jewel: "How long have you liked being tickled? Don't tell me you like her."

Yoshi: "Me wanted to be tickled for a few years now. No one ever tickles me."

Jewel: "Is this just because you like her? Yoshi, be honest!"

Yoshi: "Please no tell Birdo!"

Jewel: "I KNEW IT! I won't tell her but you gotta get a grip on yourself! You can't let a girl do whatever they want to you just because you like them!"

Yoshi: "Mama, I didn't like Birdo until Yoshi found out how fun she was. Yoshi like Birdo BECAUSE she tickled me. Not like being tickled because me like her. She also pretended to be a villain and we played with the swords. She wanted me to eat as many watermelons in one swallow as possible. "

Jewel: "She never acted this way until today. So you're telling me you never liked her until today?"

Yoshi: "Hm... I not think of that..."

Jewel: "Is today the first day you felt this way?"

Yoshi: "Despite Penny being so annoying, yes. Today first day."

Jewel: "What if she's not always like this?"

Yoshi: "..."

Jewel: "Yoshi?"

Yoshi: "Then I never gonna have a girlfriend."

Jewel: "So you want a girlfriend that acts like a little kid and can't ever grow up? Are you serious or just trying to defend her?"

Yoshi: "Mama, has Yoshi ever grown up!? I can't even talk right! None of Yoshi's words ever even sound normal! I still play with swords! Of course that type of girl me want! Me wanted this girl ever since I 10 years old. Just never thought I gonna find one."

Jewel: "Even if you're telling me the truth, what if she only acts that way today and never again?"

Yoshi: "Then I won't tell her me like her until a few days to see if this really how she is."

Jewel: "What if by chance she likes you and tells you first?"

Yoshi: "Hopefully she don't"

Jewel: "If she does?"

Yoshi: "Then I say I wanna wait a while before making a decision."

Jewel: "I'm going to hold you to that. AND I HOPE YOU'RE NOT LYING ABOUT ENJOYING TICKLING!"

Yoshi: "I not lying! How can me prove I not lying!?"

Jewel: "By... enjoying your life in the future."

Yoshi: "What?"

Jewel: "I can't know if you're telling me the truth now. I'm not a mind reader. But if you're wrong and end up with her, and it turns out you don't like how she plays with you, then you'll never be able to change it. You'll be stuck. I don't want that happening to you. You're my only son Yoshi! Me and Happy tried so hard to get a kid. We had to go through so much trouble to get you! My womb is not perfect and we had to go through so many medical surgeries in order for me to finally get an egg. And the nutrients to support and build the egg wouldn't work either. I don't want to go into detail of how many times we failed to have a kid, and how much sadness it took losing so many k-... so much stuff. But if anything were to happen to you I'd think it's my fault, and I wouldn't have any other kids to look at and be glad about. If your life turns out horrible everything I did would be for nothing. I love you as my kid, I love Happy and what he did to get you. If you don't like how Birdo treated you, please if you care about our hard work and you like how we raised you, just tell me! But if you say you like it, I will trust you. I just don't want your life to be ruined because of a girl."

Yoshi: "Mama... I didn't know..."

Jewel: "If you like the way Birdo treated you in there, say it and I will believe you this time. If you don't say it and I will believe you. But if you're lying to me I will lose all that hard work to get you!"

Yoshi: "Mama, Yoshi really do like the way Birdo treated me. I not gonna let mama's work be for nothing. Promise... Want a pinky promise?"

Jewel: "I trust you Yoshi. And I trust you. No need for a pinky promise."

Yoshi: "But me want one."

(Jewel thinking: "He really is childish") "Alright pinky promise" (They touch their pinky's)
