Chapter 19: Silverstone Helps Out
Blacky:
Oh my goodness! Silverstone is real!
(Luigi and Mini Bluey had
brought Silverstone to the cave Everyone stares at him in
amazement.)
Sushie: That has gotta be da coolest lookin' yoshi
I've ever seen!
Mario: Can you say "metallic"?
Purpley:
Well, he's kinda cute anyway.
Silverstone: Thank you. Thank you.
You're all so kind.
Blacky: Silverstone, I'm Blacky...the former
leader of this herd. I...um...must welcome you to Yoshi's Island. But
we...uh...have a...er...big problem...
Silverstone:
Problem?
Blacky: Yeah. There's these things, they're called
zookeepers, that are trying to catch us.
Orangey: They already
caught Redy, who is my brother, and Whitey.
Silverstone: Oh no!
Whitey is gone?!
Luigi: If nothing is done...yes.
Blacky: You
know Whitey?
Silverstone: Uh huh. She was the first yoshi I met
when I first came here.
(Then Silverstone notices
Pinky.)
Silverstone: Hello? What do we have here?
(Silverstone
ran up to Pinky.)
Silverstone: Hello there, cutie. What's your
name?
Pinky: Um...Pinky.
Silverstone: Hey. A cute name for a
cute yoshi. Are you...busy tonight?
Pinky: Well, I've been trying
to avoid being caught by zookeepers and I have to worry about my
daughter too. Oh yeah...you're cute too.
Silverstone: You have a
kid?
Pinky: Yeah. See?
(Pinky points to Yosheta, who was hiding
behind her the whole time.)
Yosheta: Hi. I'm Yosheta.
Silverstone:
Wow! She's soooooo cute! You've got a nice kid, Pinky. Did you come
up with the name?
Pinky: Actually, Luigi did.
Mini Bluey: Hey
Silverstone. I see you're talking with my mate.
Silverstone:
She's...your mate? Dang! I thought I was gonna score!
Yosheta:
Um...you and my mom can be friends.
Silverstone: You're right.
Thanks Yosheta.
Pinky: I just love your color. It must be
rare.
Silverstone: Yes. It is very rare.
Pinky: So tell me
about yourself. What do you spend your time doing?
Silverstone:
Well, me and the rest of the Jewel Tribe spend most of our time
searching for the Yoshi Gods that created us.
Yosheta:
Wow...
Pinky: Any luck?
Silverstone: Yeah. We've found
Whitedust and Stardust. We still have to find Blackdust and
Rainbow.
Yosheta: I bet Rainbow is beautiful.
Silverstone:
Hopefully I'll find out for myself. In fact, Rainbow thought we were
too powerful and wanted us destroyed.
Pinky: Oh my.
Silverstone:
Don't worry. It's not a problem. Chaos, the black diamond yoshi, on
the other hand, is a huge problem.
Pinky: Because he keeps trying
to steal your crystal?
Silverstone: Yes. He keeps trying... How
did you know?
Pinky: Blacky told us the legend of you and the
Jewel Tribe.
Silverstone: Ah yes. Blacky seems to be quite wise.
He would certainly make a good king...I mean leader. Well anyway, we
must continue this conversation later. It looks like you guys may
need some help.
Blacky: We sure could use some help
here.
Silverstone: Could you tell me what the problem is again? I
forgot what it was.
Blacky: You better tell him the whole story,
Luigi.
Luigi: Well. Ahem... It all started when me and my brother
and our co- called evil counterparts used a ship and went here to
visit these cute li'l yoshis.
(Luigi pet Oshi's head.)
Luigi:
Everything seemed to be just fine at first, but the next day, a
couple of zookeepers came. I believe their names were Vicky and
Nicky. Anyway, they came up to me and tried to buy the yoshis from
me. Obviously, I declined.
Silverstone: Good. I don't know if
anyone would sell their friends.
Wario: I would.
(Everyone
glares at Wario.)
Wario: Don't worry. I'm just kidding.
Blacky:
You're an idiot, yellow Mario.
Luigi: As I was saying, some time
after that, they shot Mario with a dart so he fell asleep. I knew,
then, that they were willing to do anything to catch these guys. The
next day, we went out to find food and it started to rain so we
stayed in Blacky's cave. After the rain stopped, Purpley and Oshi
went back to their home to pick some berries, but they made the
mistake of falling into one of the zookeepers' traps. I was able to
get them out, but I think the zookeepers followed us back to Blacky's
cave because...um...Birdo left a letter for us during the night and
we found it the next morning.
Silverstone: Birdo? What's a
Birdo?
Luigi: Birdo...uh...looks kinda like a pink yoshi, but she
has a snout that she shoots eggs out of and she wears a big red
bow.
Silverstone: Weird... I don't think we have anything like
that on Crystal Island.
Luigi: That reminds me... Mario! Have you
seen Birdo lately?
Mario: Nope. Last time I saw her was when she
ran away the other night.
Silverstone: Anyway...
Luigi: Well,
the main thing is Birdo revealed to us that the zookeepers used a
ship of their own to follow us here. All of us went into the
mountians not only to escape the zookeepers, but to also find Mini
Bluey. Before that, Pinky and Bluey told us about how he was missing.
I forgot to mention it before because I guess I 'm a bit
forgetful.
Waluigi: I wouldn't say you're forgetful...I'd say the
author is!
(Take that back, Waluigi!)
Waluigi: And just what
are YOU going to do about it?
(Suddenly, Waluigi floated into the
air.)
Waluigi: What the heck?! Uh oh...
(Waluigi was turned
upside-down, then he fell on his head and was knocked out
cold.)
Wario: Ouch...
Luigi: Ahem...anyway, Silverstone, Mario
started to tell everyone about some of
my...er...personal...stuff...so I got mad and-
(Everything goes
into "Fast-forward mode" as Luigi explains the FINE details
of his adventure so far. After a few seconds, everything returns to
normal.)
Luigi: ...so now we have Mini Bluey, but Whitey is
gone.
Wario: Dude! You insulted the author!
Waluigi: No I
didn't.
Wario: Yes you did. Why else would you float into the air,
fall on your head and get KOed?
Waluigi: I was...uh...trying to
levitate like Peach.
Wario: Yeah. Whatever...
Silverstone:
Hmm...sounds like you got a pretty big problem, Luigi. I'd like to
help, but I'm kinda hungry.
Mini Bluey: Well, in that case, we
better go to that one cave we found a few days ago.
(Silverstone
and Mini Bluey left the cave.)
Luigi: Hey! You're not leaving
without me!
Sushie: Me too!
Purpley: Uh...Luigi?
(Purpley
kissed Luigi.)
Luigi: Aw no...not again...(quickly) Follow me,
Sushie!
(Luigi and Sushie left the cave and followed Silverstone
and Mini Bluey up the river. Actually, Sushie swam in the river.
After a little bit of hiking, they came to a large cave that was
filled with crystals. Luigi, Sushie and Mini Bluey wait as
Silverstone chows down on the shiny gems.)
Sushie: Interestin'
cave...
Mini Bluey: Not really. This mountain is known for
crystal-filled caves. I'm pretty sure Silverstone feels right at home
here.
(Suddenly, a shadow appeared at the mouth of the cave that
could only belong to...)
Luigi: (quickly) Zookeepers!
Nicky:
That's riiiiight!
Vicky: Let's see what we have here...a fish
that's not in water...a light blue yoshi and- WHOA! Check out the
silver yoshi!
Nicky: Let's catch it!
Luigi: (quickly) No! You
can't have him!
Nicky: Eh...what was that?
Luigi: (quickly) I
said you can't have him!
Vicky: Dude, I think you had too much
sugar.
Luigi: (quickly) Too much sugar?! I didn't have
any...uh...(normal) sugar? What are you? Stupid?
Vicky: Oh look.
He's back to normal. That won't make any difference. And why, you
ask? Because we'll still get a yoshi just like we got two of them
yesterday!
Sushie: What?! They got two?!
Luigi: That's it!
Hyp-
Silverstone: Crystal Tears!
Luigi, Sushie, & Mini
Bluey: Huh?
(Tons of crystals started to fall out of nowhere.
Vicky and Nicky dance about, trying to avoid the sharp little
projectiles.)
Nicky: AAAHHH!!! They're pointy!
Vicky: That
smarts!
(Vicky and Nicky fled the scene and the crystals stopped
raining.)
Luigi: Daaaaang...
Mini Bluey: That was cool!
Sushie:
He's no ordinary yoshi.
Silverstone: Uh... Heh heh heh... Let's
get out of here.
(Everyone left the cave and went back to Mini
Bluey's cave as fast as they could. After having a dinner of hot dogs
from Mario and fruit from Mini Bluey, everyone went to sleep for the
night...or did they...)
