Chapter 12: Sushie Has Joined the Party

(Luigi and friends start to scale the mountain again. Since Luigi took out Mario with a Fire Uppercut attack, they have to look for him.)
Oshi: That fire attack was so cool. What's your secret?
Waluigi: Internal fire glands? I bet that's it.
Luigi: Very funny, Waluigi.
Pinky: I wonder where Mario went.
Redy: I know I'm normally quiet, but why don't you do that attack to those zookeepers?
Luigi: I'm trying to get you guys to a safe place. Jeez, do all of you like it when I cook someone?
Orangey: Yeah.
Wario: Uh huh.
Birdo: Yep.
Waluigi: No. I mean...as long as I'm not the one getting cooked.
Luigi: All right. If we find Mario and Mini Bluey, I'll see what I can do about those bumbling buffoons. In the meantime, all we can do is run. Let's press on, shall we?
Waluigi: (trying to mimic Luigi's voice) Yes. We shall press on.
Birdo: You're an idiot, Waluigi.
Luigi: All right. Let's go. (quickly) Hold it! Prrroblem! Where do we go?
Blacky: The ledge over there looks like a good bet.
Luigi: Oh...yeah. I knew that. It doesn't look too high for us.
(Luigi studies the ledge, then jumped onto it.)
Luigi: C'mon guys. It's easy.
(All the yoshis jumped onto the ledge...except Blacky.)
Blacky: Luigi, it's too high. I think I'm getting old or something.
Luigi: Oh, ptooie. That's silly. You don't look that old. Wario, could you give him a hand?
Wario: I know just the thing.
(Wario grabbed Blacky by the leg and twirled him around a few times, then chucked him onto the ledge.)
Luigi: That's not what I had in mind, but anyway...
Waluigi: Good old Bowser Toss. One of Mario's most popular fighting moves. Wario, what are you doing?
(Wario grabbed Waluigi by the legs and tossed him onto the ledge like he did with Blacky. He didn't take the landing too well though.)
Waluigi: I can't take...this kind of...punishment.
Birdo: I think I can get up there mys- WAAAHHH!!!
(Wario grabbed Birdo and tossed her onto the ledge.)
Luigi: Okay, Wario. You're the last one. Get up here and make it quick. Oh, I forgot. Your jumping skills are pathetic.
Wario: No they're not! I'll show you!
(Wario walked up to the ledge and tried to jump up to it, but he didn't get high enough. He tried again and failed. He tried again and again and again and still can't get it.)
Wario: Hey. Why are my jumps so crappy?
(Because I don't like you...)
Wario: What the?
Luigi: Man, you're fat. Want me to get you up here?
Wario: Is that humanly possible?
Luigi: I'll give it a try.
(Luigi hopped off the ledge and looked at Wario, then the ledge, then at Wario again, then the ledge again, then at Wario's feet.)
Luigi: I'll make this fat boy jump. Heh heh heh...
Wario: Um...
(Luigi took out a fireball and threw it at Wario's feet.)
Wario: Yikes!
(Wario made a big leap and landed on the ledge.)
Wario: Hey man! Don't burn me! Huh? Cool. I'm up here. Thanks, dude.
(Luigi jumped onto the ledge.)
Luigi: Yeah. We better get going. Mario's waiting for us.
(Indeed, Mario was waiting for Luigi. He wasn't very happy with him though...)
Mario: This sucks! I try to start a nice conversation with Luigi and what does he do? He does that nasty Fire Uppercut so now I'm lost. I hope he finds me so I can lay the smack down on him. My gut hurts!
(Back with Luigi and friends, they began to walk up the mountain again. Of course, you probably already knew that so I don't know why I'm telling you this. I'll shut up now.)
Wario: I cannot believe you punched Mario like that. It was cool and all, but why did you do it?
Luigi: You heard what he was talking about. I don't keep a diary in my basement. We don't even have a basement. You've been in the house before. Did you ever see a staircase?
Wario: No. I didn't.
Luigi: See? He made it up.
Oshi: I hate to bother you, but I'm thirsty.
Luigi: Hmm? You know, we didn't drink anything in days and nobody said anything about it until now. Good eye, Oshi.
(Luigi reached in his pack and took out a can and popped it open.)
Luigi: Drink this. It'll work wonders.
Oshi: Okay. I've never done this before. Gulp...gulp...gulp... Wow! This is good. What is this?
Luigi: It's called Super Soda. Good, isn't it?
Oshi: Guys, try this. I've never had anything like it.
(Oshi passed the soda around to everyone.)
Luigi: The writer is getting really lazy. Oh well. What are you gonna do? Heh.
(Luigi and friends kept walking until they got to a small lake.)
Wario: You know, it's been days since I took a bath and I feel really dirty.
Luigi: Go jump in a lake...
Wario: What did you just say?! Oh wait...you mean that one? Oops. Sorry about that.
(Wario ran to the lake and was about to dive in when a purple Cheep Cheep poked it's head out of the water.)
Wario: Gaaahhh!
Sushie: Hey! What'd ya think you're doin'? Ya almost crushed me. Yo, you in da green hat. Aren't ya Luigi, Mario's brother?
Luigi: Yeah.
Sushie: What's up? Remember me? I'm Sushie, Mario's swimmin' buddy.
Luigi: Hey Sushie. What brings you here?
Sushie: I've gotta report sayin' that there's a herd of yoshis that are in danger here. Ah, that must be ya guys.
Luigi: Um...how did you know about this?
Birdo: Oh, I forgot to mention this, but I had a Paratroopa take a letter to Lavalava Island. I was hoping I'd get a response.
Sushie: Well, here I am. So tell me, Luigi, what seems to be da problem?
(Luigi told Sushie about the zookeepers and how they're trying to catch the yoshis and why they're in the mountains.)
Luigi: ...and so we're looking for Mario and Mini Bluey.
Sushie: Oh my God! That's da most tragic story I've ever heard. And I heard a lotta 'em! I'd love to see a happy endin' to dis so da-da-da-dum-da- dum...Sushie has joined da party!
Luigi: Huh? What did you say?
Sushie: Ya heard me. I said I joined da party. Look, at where I come from, Lavalava Island, I keep take care of yoshis. So it's my duty to help ya here. Now, let's take a look at who we got here.
(Sushie looks at the yoshis one by one.)
Sushie: Yep. Uh huh... Oh my! Rare black yoshi! Those things usually hang out in dark places. You're a ways from home, aren't ya?
Blacky: Sure. I guess.
Sushie: And sea-green. Such colorin'! How I wish I could pinch your cheeks, li'l darlin'. I can see why da leader is so upset about da zookeepers taking such lovely yoshis. So who's da leader?
Birdo: Actually, the leader happens to be...Luigi.
Sushie: Hold it! I do NOT approve of dis! Luigi ain't no yoshi! How'd he be da leader?
Blacky: Simple. I was the leader and he beat me in a courtship fight.
Sushie: Dude...
Waluigi: Er...excuse me, but how did it get so dark?
Luigi: Aw crap. We've been talking for so long that now it's nighttime. Shoot! Mario's not gonna be happy about this.
(And boy was Luigi right. Mario was getting ticked. Figuring Luigi wasn't coming he decided to make a campfire using a Fire Flower.)
Mario: What's taking him so long? Of all the rotten luck-
(All of a sudden, Mario heard a twig snap.)
Mario: Who's there? Oh no! Not you two! Aaahhh!
