Chapter 1: Let's Go Play Tennis
(This
afternoon we see Mario and Luigi in their little mushroom house
talking about what they should do to stay busy. Unknown by Mario nor
Luigi, Wario and Waluigi were outside peeking through a window
listening to their conversation.)
Mario: You want to go
golfing?
Luigi: No way! You always win.
Mario: How about
another party?
Luigi: Yeah right! Next thing I know I get turned
into a plumber pancake again! (muttering) Rotten "Toad in the
Box."
Mario: Drive go karts?
(Luigi starts to look very
annoyed.)
Luigi: Go karts?! Now that's boring!
(Outside the
house Wario and Waluigi start to talk about something.)
Waluigi:
Hey, Luigi seems pretty bored.
Wario: So?
Waluigi: So why don't
we do something really evil to him?
Wario: Like what?
Waluigi:
I don't know yet. Lets keep listening.
(Back inside the house
Mario finally finds something interesting to do.)
Mario: Do you
want to play tennis?
Luigi: Do you want to? Every time we play I
hit you with the ball!
(Luigi starts laughing.)
Mario: You do
not!
Luigi: Ha ha ha...yes...hee hee...I...ha ha...do.
Mario:
No you don't.
Luigi: I bet...hee hee...you ten...ha ha...coins
I..hee hee...hit you...ha ha...again!
Mario: It's a deal.
(Luigi
stops laughing.)
Luigi: But there's one problem...
Mario:
What?
Luigi: Can we on a different tennis court?
Mario: Sure,
why not?
(Outside Waluigi starts talking again.)
Waluigi: New
tennis court, huh? I think I have an idea!
Wario: And what kind of
idea is that?
Waluigi: We can take Mario and Luigi to that
so-called Mario Bros. court-
Wario: And this is supposed to be
evil?
Waluigi: Don't interrupt me! There is supposed to be some
kind of storm by the sea tomorrow, right? And the new court is on an
island about 10 miles from here. I figured we could use our ship to
take Mario and Luigi to the island, and when the storm comes we lock
Luigi out of the cabin. We'll make it look like an accident!
Wario:
Hey, what about Mario?
Waluigi: Um...I don't think so.
Wario:
Okay, how do we get them on the ship?
Waluigi: Leave that to
me.
(Waluigi walks toward the front door of Mario's house.)
Wario:
By the way, you watch the Weather Channel too much.
Waluigi: At
least I'm not a moron.
Wario: I'm not stupid like you!
Waluigi:
You're so stupid even the person who wrote this story hates you! Now
get over here.
(Wario runs up to Waluigi, who proceeds to knock on
the door. After knocking twice, Mario answers it.)
Mario: Waluigi!
Wario! What are you two doing here?
Waluigi: I couldn't help but
hear you and Luigi talking about going to a new tennis court.
Luigi:
Mario! Who's at the door?
Mario: Oh, it's just Waluigi-
(Luigi
rushes to the door.)
Luigi: Waluigi, huh? Here to cause trouble
again, aren't you? I just learned Hyper Burn a few days ago and if
you don't tell me why you're here, I'm gonna use it on you!
Waluigi:
I just heard you...uh...talking about...um...wanting to
try...um...uh...a new court and..there's new one...umm...About 10
miles away...er...on an island.
Mario: You mean the Mario Bros.
court, right?
Waluigi: Right.
Luigi: Wait a minute
eavesdropper, how did you know about our conversation?
Wario: You
were laughing pretty hard.
Luigi: Good point.
Mario: Exactly
what did you want Waluigi?
Waluigi: Well, I thought it would be
kind of fun if all four of us went to the Mario Bros. court. We could
have a doubles game. It would be you and Luigi against me and Wario.
What do you say?
Mario: How do we get there?
Wario: Easy. We
can take my ship.
Luigi: Cool! I can kick Waluigi's butt
again!
Waluigi: Meet us at our house at 3:00 tomorrow. All
right?
Mario: Fine. All right!
Wario: And don't forget the
tennis balls.
(After saying good bye, Wario and Waluigi leave.
Mario closes the door behind them, then turns to Luigi.)
Mario:
Hey Luigi. If we're on the same team, you can't hit me with the ball,
can you?
Luigi: I guess not, but I bet you ten coins I can hit
Wario in the nose with the ball.
(Luigi walks over to his bed and
picks up the Game Boy that was sitting on it, then plops down on the
bed and turns the Game Boy on.)
Mario: Hit Wario in the nose with
the ball. Ha ha. That's funny.
(Then from Luigi's bed the familiar
sounds of a Pokemon battle can be heard.)
Mario: Oh dear. I better
get the potato chips out. What are you trying to catch this
time?
Luigi: Tauros.
Mario: Tauros, huh? What the heck do you
see in Pokemon anyway?
Luigi: I don't know. I guess they are just
cool.
Mario: (muttering) Mama mia.
(Next morning Mario and
Luigi can be seen peacefully sleeping...that is until 11:00 when
Luigi's Pokemon alarm clock goes off.)
Clock: Gotta catch 'em all,
Pokemon! Gotta catch 'em all, Pokemon! Gotta catch 'em all,
Po-
(Mario dives from his bed to turn off the alarm, then shoves
Luigi out of his own bed.)
Luigi: Ow! What did you do that
for?
Mario: Your clock! I'm sick of your clock!
Luigi: You're
such a bunghole, Mario.
Mario: Darn it Luigi, can't you use a
normal alarm clock?
Luigi: And wake up to a bunch of buzzing? No
thank you!
(At this moment the telephone starts ringing.)
Mario:
Luigi, pick up the phone please.
Luigi: Make me!
(The phone
rings again.)
Mario: I said pick up the phone!
Luigi: No!
(The
phone rings yet again.)
Luigi: Fine. I'll pick up the phone, you
fat piece of crap!
Mario: Stringbean!
(Luigi picks up the
phone.)
Luigi: Hello?
Daisy: Hello Luigi. Did we sleep in
again?
Luigi: Of coarse I did. I always do on weekends. Why did
you call?
Daisy: I wanted to ask you if you'd like to have
breakfast with me at McDonald's or something.
Luigi: Isn't it a
little late for that? I mean it is past 11:00.
Daisy: Well, I
tried calling you at 7 'o clock, 8 'o clock, and 9 'o clock, Mr.
Sleep-in-a-lot!
Luigi: Oh...er...uh...sorry.
Daisy: That's
okay. Good bye.
Luigi: Bye.
(Luigi hangs up the phone.)
Mario:
Who was that? Daisy?
Luigi: Yah. Anyways, what's for
lunch?
Mario: Spagettios with meatballs.
Luigi: Don't you ever
get sick of those?
Mario: (quickly) Let me
think...hmmm...NO!
Luigi: Man, you're a pig.
(Meanwhile at
Wario and Waluigi's house, the duo are watching the Weather Channel
and discussing the plan.)
Waluigi: This, Wario, is where the Mario
court thingy is at.
(Waluigi points to a spot on the T.V.
screen.)
Wario: And this is where the docks are, right?
(Wario
points to a different spot.)
Waluigi: Right. See this area over
here?
(Waluigi points to another spot. Wario nods.)
Wario: The
storm.
Waluigi: It should hit around 4:00. What time is it?
(Wario
looks at the clock.)
Wario: 2:45. Those Marios should be here in
about quarter of an hour so you better tell me the rest of the plan
before it's too late.
Waluigi: All right. The Marios come here at
3. This give us one hour to walk to the docks. When we get there we
just set sail as normal, then when the storm comes along you, me and
possibly Mario run into the cabin and lock the door. We'll pretend
Luigi isn't on the deck and the bad wind should blow him away.
Wario:
And bye bye Luigi!
Waluigi: Yup.
Wario: But what if Mario tries
to, you know, save Luigi? Do you have a backup plan?
Waluigi: I
sure do!
(Waluigi whispers something to Wario.)
Wario: That
sounds pretty good.
(There was a knock at the door. Wario answers
it.)
Wario: Hey dudes! You're a little late.
Mario: I know. I
had to get Luigi away from the Game Boy. He really had to bring
it!
Luigi: I thought the trip would take awhile and I hate being
bored.
Wario: Did you bring the tennis balls?
Luigi:
Surprisingly Mario remembered to bring them.
(Luigi unzips Mario's
back pack and takes out a can of tennis balls, shows it to Wario,
then puts it back. Waluigi comes to the door.)
Mario: I also
brought my truck so we can get to the docks fa-
Waluigi: Thanks,
but we wanted to walk. Wario's fat butt needs a little
exercise!
(Mario and Luigi start to snicker.)
Wario: My butt is
just fine!
Mario: Can we get going already?
Waluigi: Sure. Come
along, Lard Butt!
(Mario and Luigi snicker again.)
Wario:
That's not funny!
(Wario and Waluigi step outside. Wario closes
the door and locks it, then all four walk toward the docks. Sometime
later they see the ocean and many boats. Mario points to a large
yellow one.)
Mario: Hey Wario ,is that your ship?
Wario: Uh
huh.
Waluigi: What did you expect? It's gigantic and yellow like
the captain!
(Waluigi points to Wario. Only Mario snickers this
time. Luigi is looking at the sky with a worried look on his
face.)
Luigi: Uh, Waluigi? Those clouds look pretty dark. Maybe
this isn't a very good day for sailing.
Waluigi: Clouds? Don't
worry about that. I'm sure it's only by the docks.
Luigi: On the
other hand, this walk is a good way to get ready for the game.
Wario:
(muttering) If you get to the game.
Mario: What did you say? I
didn't hear you.
Wario: I said let's get to the game.
