'What are you guys talking about?' Luigi asked. Mario was shocked about how his brother found him. Boopkins tried to explain, but the red plumber stopped him, 'He is still in his original state.'
Luigi was quite confused. '..."Original state"? Am I not normal or stuff?' He asked. Boopkins and Mario didn't know how to answer, and just then, something flashed through Luigi's mind.
The adventures. The wholesome moments. The friends he had made.
The whole SMG4 Universe.
'...Boopkins, is it?' Luigi asked. His brain was a little messed up after what he had thought. 'Luigi, I got Snake pillows,' Mario tested. As usual, Luigi's nose expanded.
The trio happily chatted for a while because they haven't seen each other in their SMG4 selves for a while already.
'And...how are we going to get everyone out of this boring Universe?' Mario asked. 'I dunno...' Luigi answered. 'My dad can help! He knows how to take me home!' 'Can he really pass through the Firewall?' Mario doubted. 'Yeah, he can...at least that was what he told me.'
'Also, what about Toad, Peach and Bowser?' Luigi asked. 'We'll go find them,' Mario said as he stood up, 'Let's go.'
Mario first went to the Toad who was often left alone. He fed the fungus a mushroom and the Toad began running around. 'It's this Toad,' Mario said. Luigi carried the Toad and they started searching for Bowser.
It was really easy--Bowser's lair can be assessed conveniently. Mario made a fake confession towards the King Koopa, and expectedly, he returned normal.
Getting Peach was even easier, as Bowser can simply kidnap her. Mario managed to convince Peach to slap Bowser, which made her return normal.
'Now we have everyone in our Universe...how can we escape?' Bowser asked. 'My dad can help!' Boopkins answered as he got his phone out of nowhere. He typed for a while and replied, 'He'll be here soon.'
Expectedly, a large tentacle reached them and dragged them into the ground, then the ocean.

The firewall looked like it was near, but in fact, it was out of reach. 'When will we escape?' Asked Toad, annoyed, 'It ain't much better than being with my girlfriend...'
'I don't know too,' said Boopkins, 'It's our first time, so I don't know how fast Dad can get us out.'
'Wait a second,' Mario said, 'I cannot feel the water flowing. Either we have reached the firewall, or it's just the tentacle which stopped.'
They looked around themselves and found that it was the former.
They had reached the firewall.
'And why don't we just get through it?' Peach asked as she struggled to get out.
'We're stuck between the firewall, as you can see.' Mario answered.
Toad struggled and freed himself, only to land on Mushroom Kingdom's side.
'So if you struggle out, you'll return to what's behind us and the long journey we travelled will be in vain,' Bowser remarked, 'But who can help?'
Suddenly, he felt a push behind him. It was Toad. 'Damn, never knew you were THAT kind!' Bowser exclaimed. 'I pushed you only because you still owe me money and I need it! Get me the money after that!' The fungus yelled. 'Toad…' Luigi said as Toad pushed everyone out of the firewall, 'You're a hero.'
'Should've been me instead…' Peach exclaimed. Immediately, Toad dragged Peach into the firewall and somehow freed himself. 'Oh boy, that sure was fun!' He happily shouted. 'Let's go!' Mario said, and they swam away, leaving the princess behind.
The swimming seemed like eternity. Mario was hungry, Bowser was tired, Toad was moaning about everything that happened to him, and Boopkins missed his friends even more.
However, they all knew that they must continue swimming until they have reached home.
