Chapter 3: What's Going on Here?
(Tonight
Wario and Waluigi are sleeping in the cabin. It stopped raining now.
Mar-)
Waluigi: Quit snoring Wario!
(Anyway, Mario is sleeping
in the cabin too, but in the other room with the door carefully
locked. Meanwhile on the shore of Yoshi's Island we see a pink yoshi
walking on the beach enjoying her midnight snack, an orange.)
Pinky:
Yum yum. This orange tastes good. The sea looks pretty tonight.
Huh?
(Pinky saw something wash up onto the beach. It was Luigi.
The sea current mush have carried him to the island. Pinky walks up
to him.)
Pinky: What's this?
(Pinky pokes him with her
finger.)
Pinky: Oh, poor little guy. I wonder what happened to
him. I should take him home and wake him up.
(Pinky ate the rest
of her orange, then picks up Luigi and put him on her back runs to
her home, a group of fern plants. Pinky set Luigi down on the plants
and shakes him. By the time Luigi woke up, Pinky was already asleep.
Luigi was confused.)
Luigi: Huh? Where am I?
(Then Luigi turned
around and saw Pinky. Now it was too dark for Luigi to see clearly so
he thought it was Yoshi.)
Luigi: Okay. I'm at Yoshi's house. I
thought I was on Wario's ship. Oh well. This is much better.
(Luigi
rolls over and fell asleep. When he wakes up in the morning he saw,
not Yoshi, but Pinky.)
Luigi: Hey, I didn't know you could change
colors.
Pinky: Yoshi! Yoshi shi shi yooooshi[Hello. What is your
name?
Luigi: What did you say?
Pinky: Shi yoshi yoshi! Yoshi
shi shi yooooshi[I said hello. What is your name?
Luigi: Yoshi,
you know I can't understand your native tongue.
Pinky: Yooooshi
shi yoshi. [I'm not yoshi.
Luigi: You're not Yoshi?
(Pinky
shakes her head.)
Pinky: Shi yoshi yoshi. [My name's
Pinky.
Luigi: Where am I?
Pinky: Yoshi shi yoshi. [Please
follow me.
(Pinky signals Luigi to follow her. Pinky and Luigi
walk back to the beach. There are a group of yoshis on the beach now.
Pinky talks to a blue one, Bluey.)
Pinky: Shi yo yoshi shi
yooooshi shi[Do you know what this is?
(Pinky points to Luigi.
Bluey shakes his head.)
Bluey: Yooooshi yoshi shi. [I'm afraid
not.
Luigi: I'm gonna go nuts! I'm stuck with a bunch of dinos I
can't even understand!
(Luigi passed out. Bluey gives Pinky an odd
look.)
Bluey: Why didn't you tell me he talked like that?
Pinky:
I'm sorry.
Bluey: Well, I better take him to the water
hole.
(Pinky picks up Luigi and puts him on Bluey's back, then
both yoshis run to the waterhole. Back on the ship Mario is having
his own problems.)
Mario: You guys! We have to find
Luigi!
Waluigi: Find...Luigi?
Wario: Dude, he drowned. You saw
what happened. He was a goner.
Mario: I don't think so. I bet the
waves took him to some island. Maybe even the one we were going
to.
Waluigi: Is there any islands around here?
(Mario looks
around and saw something in the distance.)
Mario: There's one to
the south. Let's look for Luigi over there. Wario, turn that
way.
Wario: You're not the boss.
Mario: Turn that way or I'm
gonna turn you into an ice cube!
Waluigi: Speaking of ice, how did
you get ice breath?
Mario: You mean Freeze Blaster? I've known
that for about a month. Of course, I chew a lot of Winter Fresh
gum.
Wario: I knew it! That's where all those gum wrappers in my
backyard came from!
Mario: No, Luigi did that. He thought it would
be funny. Now turn the ship or I'll turn the BOTH of you into ice
cubes!
Wario: (muttering) Aye aye Captain Barfio.
(Back on
Yoshi's Island Pinky and Bluey have reached the waterhole and set
Luigi by it, then they splash water on him until he wakes up.)
Luigi:
What...what happened?
Pinky: You fainted. You have to be more
careful.
Luigi: You...speak English.
Bluey: You don't
understand yoshi talk, do you?
Luigi: No, I don't. May I have your
names please?
Pinky: Oh. My name is Pinky and this is my friend
Bluey. What's your name?
Luigi: Um...er...uh...my name is
Luigi.
Bluey: (quickly) What kind of name is Luigi? And what
happened to your tail? What are you? What's that on your head? How
did-
Luigi: Slow down! Slow down! I can only take one question at
a time. For one thing, my name is Italian, I don't have a tail, I'm a
human and-
Pinky: What is Italian? You don't have a tail? That is
so strange. You're a human? I don't know what a human is, but I have
to show you to Blacky.
Luigi: Blacky? Who's Blacky?
Pinky:
Blacky is our leader. He's an extremely rare black yoshi. He should
be in his cave. I'll lead the way.
Luigi: I don't know if I feel
all that well yet. Can I have a ride?
Bluey: Sure. Hop on.
(Luigi
jumped onto Bluey's back and the two yoshis walked to Blacky's cave.
It took a pretty long time to get there. Soon the cave came into
view.
Pinky: There's the cave. I'll call for Blacky. Hello? Are
you home Blacky?
(After a little while Blacky came out of the
cave. He was a rather large yoshi, about six feet or so. He said
hello to Pinky, then when he looked at Bluey he saw Luigi.)
Blacky:
Yoshi! Yoshi shi shi yooooshi[Hello. What is your name?
Bluey:
Blacky, talk like this. He won't understand you if you don't.
Blacky:
Sorry. Hello! What is your name?
Luigi: Uh...er...uh.
Blacky:
Aurora? That's an odd name.
Pinky: No Blacky. His name is
Luigi.
Blacky: That's an odd name too.
Pinky: Look, how odd his
name sounds isn't important. Do you know what a human is?
Blacky:
I have no idea. What is Luigi anyway?
Luigi: I am a human!
Blacky:
Interesting. Would you like to come in?
Luigi: All right.
Blacky:
Pinky. Bluey. You two can go play for awhile. I'll talk to
Luigi.
Pinky & Bluey: Bye Luigi.
(Pinky and Bluey run off
to play in a nearby meadow. Blacky and Luigi walk into the cave. This
cave was perfect for a yoshi. It had a pile of leaves for a bed in
one corner, and a pile of fruit another corner. A group of rocks were
arranged in a circle and it wasn't very dark. Blacky points to one of
the rocks.)
Blacky: You want to sit down.
Luigi: Yes.
Thanks.
(Luigi sits on the rock. Blacky sits on the one next to
him.)
Blacky: You don't mind if I ask you some questions, do
you?
Luigi: Go ahead and ask away.
Blacky: Okay. What happened
to your tail? It's not there.
Luigi: Uh, I never had one. Do all
yoshi ask that to tailless animals like myself?
Blacky: I don't
think so. How did you get here?
Luigi: I'm not sure. I thought I
drowned, but then I woke up next to Pinky. Well, I thought she was my
friend, Yoshi.
Blacky: Who?
Luigi: Yoshi. He's a yoshi like
you, but he's green.
Blacky: Green is quite common for
yoshis.
(Just then there was a rumbling noise. Luigi
blushes.)
Luigi: Oops. I'm embarrassed.
Blacky: I guess you're
are kind of hungry.
Luigi: Yeah. I didn't eat anything
lately.
(Blacky gets off his rock and walks over to the pile of
fruit.)
Blacky: Do you know how to eat bananas?
Luigi: Yes. Do
you have any?
(Blacky tosses a bunch of bananas to Luigi, then
picks up another bunch and walks back to the rock.)
Luigi: I
didn't need the whole bunch. I'll just eat a few.
(Luigi peels one
of the bananas and eats it, then he peels another banana and eats
this one too. Blacky was confused.)
Blacky: What are you
doing?
Luigi: I'm eating the bananas.
Blacky: Humans do things
a little differently, huh?
(After Luigi and Blacky ate their
bananas they both walk to the beach. The group of yoshis were still
there. Some of them were swimming in the sea. Blacky and Luigi walk
up to the rest of the yoshis.)
Blacky: Everyone! Can I have your
attention please! Can all of you come over here?
(All the yoshis
obeyed, even the ones in the water.)
Luigi: Blacky, what's going
on?
Blacky: Our herd will have a new member joining in! Please
welco-
(Just then, the yellow yoshi, Yellowy
interrupted.)
Yellowy: Who's the new member?
(Then Yellow
peeked behind Blacky and saw Luigi.)
Yellowy: What on earth is
that thing Blacky?
Blacky: This is the new member, Luigi.
Luigi:
Um, hi.
Yellowy: Aww cool! He talks and he's just my size.
Pinky:
Blacky! Sorry we're late!
(Pinky and Bluely dashed out from the
trees and onto the beach. Yellowy turns to them.)
Yellowy: Hey
dad! You're missing a great meeting!
Bluey: Why?
Yellowy: The
herd is getting a new member.
(Yellowy points to Luigi.)
Bluey:
Oh, hi Luigi. How's it going? You're joining the herd?
Luigi:
Good. I guess.
Yellowy: Dad, how did you know his name?
Bluey:
I met him earlier.
Pinky: Luigi, you look tired. Do you want to go
back to my home. You can take a nap there.
(Luigi gets on Pinky's
back. Blacky whispers something to Pinky and gives her an apple.
Pinky runs back into the trees.)
Blacky: I'm sorry everyone. Luigi
is going to take a nap at Pinky's home. Please come back here when
the sun touches the mountain. I'm sure Luigi will be better by
then.)
(All the yoshis leave. Bluey and Yellow stay with
Blacky.)
Bluey: Did you talk to Luigi?
Blacky: Yes. Apparently
he drowned in the sea. Something must have happened to him.
Yellowy:
That's not good.
Blacky: And it takes him a long time to eat. He
peels his bananas before he eats them.
Bluey: I wonder
why.
Yellowy: Maybe they taste better after they're
peeled.
Blacky: And he already has a yoshi for a friend.
Yellowy
& Bluey: He does?!
(Later Mario, Wario, and Waluigi are
leaving the island Mario thought Luigi was on, but it was the wrong
island.)
Wario: I told you he wasn't on the island.
Mario: I
sure he's on another one.
Waluigi: Mario, he drowned. You're not
going to find him on any island. He de-
Mario: Shut up
Waloogie!
Waluigi: What did you call me?
Mario:
Waloogie!!
Waluigi: Wa? Grrrrr!
Mario: Uh oh! Gotta go!
(Mario
runs into the cabin before Waluigi has the chance to chase him. He
closes the door and locks it. Waluigi keeps banging on the door and
shouting.)
Waluigi: Hey! Get out of there Fatso!
Mario: Let's
see. Where's that map I brought?
(Mario unzips his back pack and
starts taking things out including Luigi's pajamas, the Metal Cap and
what he was looking for, the map.
Mario: Here it is. What was that
island we checked called? Oh. It's that one. So the closest one is.
Kitchen Island. Didn't Wario use to live there?
(Since Waluigi
wasn't banging on the door now Mario went outside to talk to Wario
about their next destination.)
Mario: Hey Wario.
Wario: What do
you want?
Mario: You used to used to live on Kitchen Island,
right?
Wario: Yeah. What does that have to do with
anything?
Mario: Well, Kitchen Island is close to here. We should
look for Luigi there. If you want, you and Waluigi can have a little
fun and I'll look for Luigi myself. Okay?
Wario: Sure...eh...why
not?
