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?
