Chapter 16: The Cave of Mini Bluey

(It was afternoon. The zookeepers were heading up the mountain looking for Luigi when they saw something move in the distance.)
Nicky: Hey! There goes one of the yoshis now!
Vicky: Get a stinkbomb ready and prepare to ambush.
(Meanwhile, Luigi and friends were still hiking on the mountain.)
Waluigi: Dang it, Luigi! We're lost again!
Luigi: Well, quit being stupid so I can concentrate.
Blacky: If we don't move fast enough, the zookeepers will surely attack us.
Orangey: Their smoke cloud will make it nearly impossible to do anything. And with my brother gone, I...I...I... (quickly) I don't know what to do.
Sushie: Is there anything we can do?
Yosheta: Yeah. Don't do Dark Stare...
(Oshi laughs.)
Waluigi: Hey!
Yosheta: But seriously, I may be the youngest yoshi here, but even I know that an attack that doesn't do anything is useless. Now Hyper Burn on the other hand...
Oshi: Hyper Burn could take out the zookeepers in one hit!
Luigi: Now, Oshi. I don't always believe that raw power is a great strategy. Here's an example. Mario's Freeze Blaster isn't the strongest attack around, but the fact that it immobilizes enemies makes it a good move. Sometimes I...heh heh...wish I could do that.
Oshi: Immobilizes? What's that?
Mario: If someone is immobilized, they can't move.
Blacky: Oh, I get it. While Hyper Burn can do a ton of damage on the spot, Freeze Blaster can do a bit of damage and keep the enemy from moving, allowing you to get even more hits in and hurt them even more.
Luigi: That's correct.
Wario: But freezing isn't the only way to immobilize enemies.
Luigi: What do you mean?
Wario: Well, I can immobilize enemies too. Can you say "paralysis"?
Luigi: Oh yeah. That's right. Electrical attacks can immobilize too. Then again, it doesn't work ev-
Sushie: Hey look! A river!
(Up ahead there was a river. It wasn't a very big river. In fact, it was quite calm, but it was still a river. Luigi and friends ran up to the river and drink from it.)
Oshi: Mmm...pretty good.
Waluigi: It's not in a bottle, but I'd say this is some nice water. Hey. That reminds me.
(Waluigi opened his suitcase and took out a water bottle. He filled it with water and gave it to Luigi.)
Waluigi: This may prove useful.
Luigi: You actually thought of something smart.
Mario: Now that we've had something to drink, where do we go now?
(Luigi looks around.)
Luigi: How about the cave over there where the river is coming out of?
Blacky: We could use a rest. Let's go.
(Luigi and friends walk upstream and into the cave. The inside of it looked kinda like Blacky's cave. On the left was a pile of leaves and a pile of fruit. It wasn't the usual bananas and watermelons. Instead, there were kiwi, star fruit, grapefruit, and raspberries. On the right was the river. A small waterfall came from the high ceiling and into the river. The floor was a little muddy and had footprints in it. Luigi noticed this.)
Mario: Great! A cave with a plumbing system! Let's rest in here!
Luigi: WAIT!!!
Mario: What?
Luigi: There's footprints in the mud. Someone lives in here.
(Luigi takes a good look at the footprints.)
Luigi: And these may hold a clue that we need. You guys rest outside.
Mario: Okay. But if the zookeepers attack, you better help or risk losing another yoshi.
(Mario and the others stayed outside while Luigi took out a piece of paper and a pencil. Luigi drew a map of the cave with the river, the fruit pile, the leaf pile, and the footprints, then he stares at it for a few minutes.)
Luigi: Oh...dear...God...!!!
(Luigi ran out of the cave.)
Luigi: Why, God, WHY?!
Pinky: Find out anything?
Luigi: Look at this!
(Luigi show everyone his map.)
Luigi: Check this out. First, two sets of footprints enter the cave.
(Luigi points to two sets of footprints that lead into the cave.)
Luigi: Then there was a struggle.
(Luigi points to some scrambled sets of footprints by the fruit pile.)
Luigi: And then three sets of footprints leave the cave.
(Luigi points to three sets of footprints leaving the cave.)
everyone: THREE?!
Luigi: Yes. I came to the conclusion that the first two of them, the ones that entered the cave, were people and the last one was a yoshi. And also, look what I found.
(Luigi pulls something out of his pocket and gave it to Mario.)
Mario: What a pretty, sparkly rock!
Luigi: Huh? No no no! I meant this!
(Luigi took the rock from Mario and replaced it with something else.)
Mario: A used stinkbomb?
Pinky: Which means...
Luigi: The yoshi that lived in here was captured...by the zookeepers!
Yosheta: Mama, what if it was dad?
Sushie: We're screwed...
(Later, everyone was settling down in the cave. Mario made a campfire outside using a Fire Flower and was roasting hot dogs over it. Bluey saw this and became interested.)
Bluey: What are you doing?
Mario: Cooking hot dogs.
Bluey: What are hot dogs?
Mario: Hot dogs are something that we eat.
Bluey: May I try one?
Mario: Sure. Everyone has to eat.
(Mario pulled the hot dog off the stick and gave it to Bluey.)
Bluey: Gulp! Mmm...I could get used to this! That was good!
Mario: Try one of these too.
(Mario toasted a marshmallow and gave it to Bluey.)
Bluey: Gulp. Mmm...a little sticky, but good.
(Soon, the sun was setting and everyone was enjoying hot dogs and marshmallows.)
Luigi: Dang it! I got marshmallow stuck in my mustache again!
(Well, almost everyone.)
Waluigi: What's wrong, Luigi? Got sticky marshmallow stuck in your mustache again?
(Luigi tugs on his mustache.)
Luigi: Shut up. I'm not in a very good mood right now.
Blacky: Well, Luigi. What should we do?
Luigi: I dunno. I'm kinda tired.
Sushie: Red alert! Red alert! Someone's goin' up da mountain!
Mario: What?! Right now?
Sushie: Ya look down there and ya tell me!
(Mario looked down the mountain and saw someone was climbing up surprisingly fast. Mario couldn't tell who it was because it was kinda dark now.)
Mario: Oh man, I hate heights... EVERYONE RUN INTO THE CAVE!
(Everyone but Sushie and Pinky run into the cave. Sushie dives into the river. Pinky stands there, thinking.)
Sushie: Pinky! Run! What if it's a zookeeper?
Pinky: I don't think it's a zookeeper. They don't come out when it gets dark. Huh?
(Pinky watched as a light blue yoshi appeared.)
Pinky: It couldn't be... Mini Bluey?
Mini Bluey: Boy. I thought I was lost. Thank goodness you made this fire, Whitey.
Pinky: Mini Bluey, it's me, Pinky.
Sushie: Well, I was wrong.
(Sushie dives underwater in embarrassment. Luigi and Yosheta realize who the newcomer was and came out of the cave.)
Mini Bluey: Pinky, what are you doing here? I told you to stay with Blacky and the rest of the herd.
Pinky: Well, you were gone for so long. I got worried and I'm with the herd right now.
Mini Bluey: You should have stayed home!
(Pinky and Mini Bluey looked like they were going to fight, but instead they rub against each other with love.)
Yosheta: Aww...
Pinky: By the way, the egg I laid hatched and you now have a beautiful daughter. Come on out, Yosheta.
(Yosheta ran up to Mini Bluey and rubs against him. I guess this is the way yoshis hug. Luigi stands there, watching the happy reunited family.)
Yosheta: Oh, dad. I'm so glad to finally meet you. My name is Yosheta.
Mini Bluey: Yosheta, huh? What a great name! Did you think of it yourself, Pinky?
(Mini Bluey noticed Luigi, who was still standing there in awe.)
Mini Bluey: Wait a minute. What is THAT thing?
Luigi: Oh! Uh...er...um...well I'm...er...uh...
Pinky: That's just Luigi. He's the leader now. He tends to be a bit nervous, but he's a good leader. When he gets mad, he actually shoots fire.
Mini Bluey: He looks a bit weird. He doesn't have a tail.
(Luigi's face turns bright red. Pinky whispers something to Mini Bluey.)
Mini Bluey: He's a human and he never had a tail? I'm terribly sorry, Luigi.
Luigi: Don't worry about it.
Mini Bluey: Oh, where's Whitey? She said she'd stay here.
Luigi: Whitey? Who's Whitey?
(Black ran out of the cave.)
Blacky: Whitey is my mate. She's a rare white yoshi. After Mini Bluey disappeared in the mountains, I sent her after him. Being born in the mountains, I thought she was a good choice. By the way, Mini Bluey, we haven't seen her. Where was the last place you saw her?
Mini Bluey: She was in the cave, eating.
Luigi: Uh oh.
(Luigi took out his map.)
Luigi: Whitey was dinonapped!
