Chapter 9: The False Yoshi Egg
(Next
morning Mario woke up. He took a quick look around the cave to see if
anyone was awake when he saw the letter.)
Mario: Hmm? What do we
have here?
(Mario picked up the letter and read it.)
Mario:
Mama mia! This is terrible!
(Mario quickly woke up Luigi.)
Luigi:
Man, get your butt off me. There's a better way to wake me up.
Mario:
Luigi, take a look at this.
(Mario handed the letter to Luigi, who
read it out loud.)
Luigi: It says... RUN! THE ZOOKEEPERS KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE! LEAVE THIS PLACE NOW! Aieeee!
(Luigi passed out.
Everyone woke up.)
Wario: Yo Mario. What's with the
screaming?
Mario: Luigi freaked out. Check this out.
(Mario
gave the letter to Wario.)
Wario: ...That's bad.
Mario: I knew
a should've packed some Life Shrooms. How many people passed out so
far? Well, I better st-
Waluigi: Oh boy! More mouth-to-mouth
stuff.
Mario: This is soooo going to ruin me.
Purpley: Wait. I
think I remember how to revive him.
(Purpley kissed Luigi on the
nose. It worked.)
Luigi: Daisy, you know the perfect way to make
me wake up, don't you?
Purpley: Um...
Mario: That was quick.
Wish I could do that.
Luigi: Tell me, Mario. Who wrote that
letter? I feel like pounding someone's face in.
Mario: I'm not
sure. The closest thing to a signature is a tiny picture of a hair
bow.
Waluigi: Who could that be?
Mario: Lady Bow? She makes a
good spy.
Luigi: You mean the gho-gho-ghost?
yoshis: Ghost?!
AAAHHH!
Mario: Guys, don't freak out. I doubt it's Bow. Whoever it
is, though, wants to meet us at the beach. Should we go?
Luigi:
What choice do we have? Let's leave.
(And so Luigi and friends
left the cave and went to the beach. They didn't see anyone when they
got there.)
Luigi: Mario, did you read that letter right?
Mario:
The bottom said to meet them here.
creature: So, I see you got my
letter. Very good.
Yosheta: Who said that?
Waluigi: That sounds
like...
(The creature stepped out from behind a tree.)
Waluigi:
Birdo!
Birdo: Yes. I was the one that left the letter. I have
important info about the zookeepers.
Luigi: Give me all the
dirt.
Birdo: Follow me. I must show you something.
(Birdo led
the others to a different part of the beach. The part where Wario's
ship landed. Birdo points to the ship.)
Wario: That's my ship.
What's so weird about it?
Birdo: No no. The other one.
(There
was another ship a few yards away from Wario's. It was bluish-grey
and appeared to be some-what high-tech.)
Birdo: Zookeeper twins,
Vicky and Nicky, used this to get here.
Luigi: Those... those B
words followed us! I've seen that ship before!
Birdo: You
have?
Luigi: Yeah.
Oshi: Hey Luigi. Isn't that the pink thing
you and Mario beat up?
Birdo: Watch your tongue, young yoshi.
Anyway, I have a plan. I recently heard that Nicky wants to swipe an
egg so he can hatch up a yoshi.
Pinky: If I had an egg I wouldn't
let them have it.
Purpley: Me either.
Birdo: I'm not finished.
If Luigi told you about me, and apparently he did, then you know I
can spit up eggs. We'll just pass one of my eggs off as one of your
own. They should be more than happy.
Mario: You know, that's crazy
enough to work.
Birdo: They don't know what yoshi eggs look like
so I know it will work. Listen up, because I'll only say this
once.
(Birdo told everyone the plan. And what a plan it was. No
other plan could compare to this plan. It was beyond comparison. It
was the ultimate plan... or so I think.)
Birdo: Alright. Mario,
Wario, Purpley...go to Pinky's house and take this with you. Luigi!
Catch!
(Birdo shot an egg from her snout. Luigi ran and caught it,
then gave it to Mario.)
Mario: See ya later.
(Mario, Wario, and
Purpley went to Pinky's house. Pinky's house was only a patch of
ferns, but it made a nice nest. Mario sat the fake yoshi egg in the
ferns.)
Wario: Now according to Birdo you just sit on this egg
until the zookeepers come, then you run away like a coward and Mario
and I will sneak you away. Now sit.
Purpley: Um... uh... okay.
I... er... hope this... um... works.
(Purpley sat on the egg.
Mario and Wario duck behind a bush.)
Purpley: Uh... maybe I'll
sing a song.
(Purpley began to sing. Not far away, the zookeepers
heard her.)
Vicky: I hear singing.
Nicky: Let's follow it.
(The
zookeepers went to where Purpley was.)
Vicky: A lone yoshi.
Nicky:
That Luigi guy isn't around either.
Vicky: This has to be a set
up
Nicky: I'm gonna shoot it.
(Nicky loaded his blow gun and
aimed. Before he could fire, Purpley ran away into Mario and Wario's
area and the three of them sneak away. Only the egg remains.)
Vicky:
Look, an egg.
Nicky: Great. Let's take it back to the zoo and
hatch it. The boss will love it.
(Nicky picked up the egg.
Meanwhile the trio returned to the others.)
Birdo: They fell for
it?
Mario: They sure did, the stupid idiots.
Luigi: Thank
goodness for that. I kinda wish we can find that Mini Bluey
fellow.
Bluey: But he might be in the mountains. We never go that
far. It's dangerous.
Mario: Thanks for the help, Birdo. We came
here to spend time with the yoshis, but it's hard to do that with the
zookeepers here.
Luigi: One thing... why are you here in the first
place?
Birdo: Obviously I loooove yoshis. Uh oh. The zookeepers
are coming. Hide!
(Everyone ran into safe places. Vicky and Nicky
walked onto the beach.)
Nicky: See Vicky. Wasn't it easier to
steal an egg instead of catching the yoshi?
Vicky: Quit blabbering
and get on the ship before that guy sees the egg and cooks us.
Nicky:
Yes Vicky.
(Vicky and Nicky get on their ship and prepare to
leave. All of a sudden there was a sickening thud followed by a small
explosion.)
Vicky & Nicky: AAAHHH!
(Birdo heard this and
got disappointed.)
Birdo: Guys, I think you should pack your bags
and head for the nearest mountain.
Luigi: Why?
Birdo: Nicky
dropped the egg...
