Chapter 24: The Happy Ending
Blacky: The zookeeper threat is gone! Pinky: And the entire herd is together again!
Mario: And everything has returned to its former peaceful state. Good work, Luigi!
Blacky: Way to go, leader!
Pinky: Awesome job!
Birdo: I...uh...knew you could do it! I had faith in you the entire time!
(Luigi looked around and smiled.)
Luigi: It's nice to know that the zookeepers are outta here, but been here for over a week! I should think about going home.
Oshi: You mean you wanna leave?
Luigi: Kinda.
Yosheta: Aww...gee.
Mini Bluey: Well, it was nice knowing you.
(Luigi looked at all the yoshis' eyes. They were all big and oh so cute. A few yoshis were shedding tears. Purpley was crying like a Togepi.)
Purpley: Waaahhh! Luigi can't leave! Not after all we've been through! Waaahhh!
Blacky: It'd be nice if we knew what kind of place you live in. If only I could see it.
Luigi: Hmm...Wario?
Wario: Yeah?
(Luigi whispers something to Wario.)
Wario: Well, I don't see why not. I'm sure my ship can handle it.
Luigi: Thanks Wario. You don't know how much this means to me. Ahem...yoshis! I just talked to Wario and he agreed to take all of you to my house.
yoshis: Yay!
Wario: Just follow me to the ship and-
(All the yoshis run over Wario and get on the ship. The now trampled Wario lays on the ground and twitches.)
Wario: ...ow...
(Minutes later, everyone is on the ship. Wario takes the steering wheel. Luigi stands on the very tip of the ships bow.)
Luigi: Okay Wario. Set sail for the Toad Town Port! Pronto!
(Pinky, Mini Bluey, and Yosheta were at the back of the boat, looking at their home.)
Pinky: I never dreamed of leaving Yoshi's Island.
Mini Bluey: Me either. It's too bad I never found the Super Happy Tree...
Yosheta: Who needs a tree for happiness when we have each other?
Pinky & Mini Bluey: Awww...
(Both parents hug Yosheta. In the cabin, Luigi was laying on the bed and Purpley and Oshi were exploring the new environment.)
Purpley: Hey! A peephole!
(Purpley tried to stick her head out the window, but it was closed so she bumped her nose on it instead.)
Purpley: Ow! What the?
Luigi: Silly Purpley. That's called a window. They're transparent. See?
(Luigi tapped the window a few times.)
Oshi: Hmm...what's this?
(Oshi pulled on a small chain and a light clicked on.)
Luigi: Ah! Bright light! Could you turn that back off so I can take a nap?
(Luigi fell asleep. Mario walked in.)
Mario: Hey Purpley. Have you seen Luigi? I gotta ask him something.
Purpley: He's sleeping right now.
Mario: Oh. I see. It was about time he took a much needed rest. I'll ask him later.
(Mario left the cabin. Just outside, Blacky and Silverstone were talking about Luigi's victory.)
Silverstone: Exactly what was that thing that Luigi ate again?
Blacky: It's called a heart fruit. They're rare, but they taste really yummy. They also make you invincible and give you more power.
Silverstone: It was a good thing he had it.
Blacky: Yes. That was quite clever of him.
Yellowy: That explains why Luigi always smelled like heart fruit...because he was holding one!
(Half an hour later, the sky was turning purple, which meant the end of the day was near. Luigi was awake now. He stood on the deck looking over the sea with Purpley by his side. Suddenly, he points to something that looks like a giant gorilla's head.)
Luigi: Hey Purpley. Check it out. That's Donkey Kong Island.
Purpley: Ooo...do you live there?
Luigi: Naw. My friend, Donkey Kong live there.
(Later, the ship passes by a large piece of land the featured a magnificent castle.)
Luigi: That's Sarasaland.
Purpley: Oh. Do you have a friend there too?
Luigi: Yup. Her name's Daisy. I...think you've met her before.
(Luigi shows Purpley a picture of Daisy.)
Purpley: I remember her. She's the one that gave me the idea of kissing you.
Luigi: I see...
(After sometime, all the yoshis had gathered around Luigi except Pinky, Yosheta and Silverstone.)
Pinky: So what do you think of Luigi now?
Silverstone: Well, when I get back to Crystal Island, I'm sure the Jewel Tribe will enjoy the story of a yoshi herd that is led by a human.
Yosheta: Hee hee. Yeah. We liked the story about them.
Luigi: Hey. Here's the next island.
(Luigi points to a strange little island that looks like the perfect place for a yellow and purple clad fat guy.)
Luigi: That's Kitchen Island. Wario used to live there. I don't know why he moved...
Waluigi: It's because when I tried to move in, I didn't like the place.
Luigi: Ooookay.
(Soon, they passed a rather tropical island.)
Luigi: And this is...er...uh...Mario, what island is this?
Mario: I believe its Isle Delfino.
Oshi: Funny name.
Mario: I know. I heard its a good vacation spot though. I'll have to try it sometime.
Luigi: Oh, and let me guess. I'll be stuck home AGAIN, HUH!
Mario: Uh...maybe.
Luigi: YOU JERK!
(Luigi knocks Mario to the ground and started to pummel him.)
Mario: Ah! That's not what I meant! Ow! Stop it!
(Later, Mario is on the ground, moaning in pain. Luigi was watching out for more islands. Silverstone was talking to Purpley now.)
Silverstone: Hey Purpley. You wouldn't happen to be related to Stardust, would you?
Purpley: I don't think so. Why?
Silverstone: Well, Stardust is purple and I noticed that when you kiss Luigi, he goes twice as fast as normal. Maybe you have a little bit of magic.
Purpley: As far as I know, I'm just a normal yoshi like my son, Oshi, and my sister Pinky.
Luigi: What! You never told me that you were Pinky's sister!
Purpley: I didn't?
Luigi: Naw.
Purpley: Well, I am. Oh. And here's a kiss for are hero.
(Purpley kisses Luigi, but before he could take off, she kissed him again. Luigi is now running around in mindless circle at fur times his normal speed.)
Luigi: (really quickly) Wheeeeeeeeee!
(Then the next island came into view. It had jungles and a huge volcano.)
Luigi: (really quickly) And this, folks, is Lavalava Island. I think Sushie gets off here.
Birdo: Uh...proper English please!
Sushie: I think Luigi said dis is Lavalava Island. I get off here. C'mon Parakarry.
(Sushie jumps into Parakarry's mailbag, then he started to fly toward the island.)
Sushie & Parakarry: Bye Luigi!
(Wario walked up to Luigi.)
Wario: Yo Luigi. The Toad Town Port is coming up. Should I kick up the speed a bit?
(Luigi looked at the sky. It was orange due to the setting sun.)
Luigi: (really quickly) Go ahead! Make this thing...er...(normal) Sure. Speed it up. Suddenly I feel kinda tired.
Wario: Okay.
(Wario walked away. Luigi sat down on a beach chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep. When Luigi woke up, he saw Silverstone tapping him on the shoulder.)
Silverstone: Hey Sleepyhead. Mario told me to wake you up. We've landed.
Luigi: Huh? Wha? Okie dokie.
(Luigi got up and picked up his back pack, then walked to the gangplank. Wario was there waiting for him.)
Wario: Yo Luigi. there you are. You can go and take the yoshis to your house. I'd like to come, but me and Waluigi have some stuff to do here.
Luigi: Yeah. Thanks for all your help. Have a nice night.
Wario: You too.
(Luigi signaled for Mario, Birdo and the yoshis to follow him. As the yoshis were tagging along, they were looking at the new surrounding.)
Bluey: Whoa...this is much different than Yoshi's Island.
Orangey: I'll say. Where's the mountains? The caves? The beach?
(Usually, Toad Town was a busy place, but all but a few mushroom people were in their houses. Soon, they got to a warp pipe on the other side of town.)
Luigi: Go in this warp pipe and it'll take you to my house. Who wants to go first?
(All the yoshis looked around to see who would volunteer. No one did.)
Birdo: Heh. Looks like I have to show then how it done.)
(Birdo hopped onto the warp pipe and jumped in. Yellowy looks into the pipe.
Yellowy: Where'd she go?
(Birdo popped her head out of the pipe.)
Birdo: You guys can come in if you're ready.
(Birdo disappeared into the pipe again.)
Yellowy: Well...okay...
(Yellowy jumped into the pipe. The other yoshis still looked a little questionable.)
Mario: Guess we better help them out, huh?
Luigi: Yup. But I have an idea.
(Luigi walked over to Whitey and picked her up.)
Luigi: I really hate to do this, but...
(Luigi dropped Whitey into the pipe.)
Whitey: Shiiiii...! Eeeeek...!
Luigi: Okay. Who wants to go next?
Blacky: Uh...I think I can do it myself.
Silverstone: Yeah. Me too.
(Blacky and Silverstone hop into the pipe. Mario and Luigi took turns dropping the rest of the yoshis into the warp pipe. Getting Purpley in was too tricky for Luigi since she kept trying to kiss him so he got Mario to put her in. After all the yoshis went down the pipe, Mario and Luigi hopped in. When they get to the other side, they saw the yoshis were staring at a large structure. It was, of course, their house.)(
Blacky: So this is where you live...looks interesting!
Luigi: Let's go in. Follow me.
Birdo: Well Luigi. I'd like to stick around, but I gotta go home and get ready for the tennis game with Shy Guy tomorrow. Anyway, thanks for saving me!
(Birdo hops into the warp pipe.)
Silverstone: I better go as well. I have to find a way to get back to Crystal Island. Goldendale is probably worried sick!
Luigi: Oh. Okay. Thanks for helping me. But before you go, you better eat these.
(Luigi gave Silverstone a handful of crystals. Silverstone gobbled them up, then prepares to hop into the pipe.)
Pinky & Yosheta: Bye Silverstone!
Silverstone: Farewell friends!
(Silverstone goes down the pipe.)
Mario: Well Luigi. It looks like it's just us and the herd now.
Luigi: Yeah. Let's go in the house.
(Everyone, but Mario and Orangey, go into the house. Orangey was looking at the mailbox.)
Orangey: What's this thing?
Mario: That's a mailbox. When Parakarry delivers letters to us, he puts them in here. See?
(Mario tapped the mailbox and tons of letter fell out.)
Mario: Whoa...looks like we've been gone for awhile...
(Inside, Bluey was looking at a flat, black object on a wall.)
Bluey: Hey Luigi. What's this?
Luigi: It's a chalkboard. Wanna play Tic-Tac-Toe with it?
Bluey: Sure!
Mini Bluey: What's Tic-Tac-Toe?
Bluey: Oh it a fun game Luigi taught us. I gotta show it to you.
(After a quick lesson from Luigi on how to use a piece of chalk, Bluey showed Mini Bluey how to play the simple game. Redy was pointing to the phone.
Redy: What's that?
Luigi: That's a telephone. We use it to talk to people that are far away. Uh oh. Looks like we've got some messages on the answer machine.
(Luigi presses a button on the answer machine.)
answer machine: (mono-tone) 4 messages...message 1... (Daisy's voice) Nice message guys! You had me fooled! Luigi, get your butt back home and call me! You know who this is!
Luigi: Yikes...
message machine: (mono-tone) Message 2.. (Daisy's voice) I'll leave a message! Where the heck are you, Luigi? Don't dessert me! Call me back! Darn you! (mono-tone) Message 3... (Daisy's voice) Luigi, what's the matter with you! This is the third time I called you now! Geez, I might as well try to find a Kirby and go out with him...because YOU never return my calls! You're impossible! What a no-good boyfriend! (mono-tone) Message 4... (Daisy's voice) Hi Luigi. This is Daisy again. No, I am not mad at you now. Please ignore the previous messages. Parakarry just flew in and told me that you just saved and entire herd of yoshis from a couple of zookeepers. All I can say is congratulations on a job well done, you gallant knight! Hope to see you soon. Bye. (mono-tone) End of messages.
Mario: Heh. Looks like the news is spreading already.
(Suddenly, there was a rumbling noise.)
Whitey: Yoshi! Thunder!
Mario: What did she say?
Blacky: She said "thunder!"
Luigi: That wasn't thunder. That was my stomach.
Mario: D'oh! How'd I forget about dinner? What do you want, Luigi?
Luigi: Hmm...see if you can put that 12-pack of mini pizzas to use.
Mario: Okie dokie!
(After dinner, things started to settle down. A few of the yoshis, Orangey, Redy and Whitey, fell asleep in the bedroom. Luigi snuck Purpley into his secret basement and he began to work on his diary.)
Purpley: That pizza was great! Do you always eat stuff like that?
Luigi: Yeah...kinda...
Purpley: What are you doing?
Luigi: Writing in my diary.
Purpley: Wait. You DO have a diary?
Luigi: Don't...tell...anyone!
Purpley: Oh. Okay. I'll see what Oshi is up to then.
(Purpley left. Luigi wrote a little more in his diary.)
Luigi: "After being attacked by an Arbok, I can safely say that I won't be playing Pokémon for awhile..."
(Luigi set down his pencil and diary, then left. In the bedroom, the only yoshis that were awake were Pinky, Purpley, Oshi and Yosheta.)
Mario: Hey Luigi. You should think about going to bed. I'm sure you're tired after the events of the last week.
(Luigi yawns.)
Luigi: Yeah. I know.
Mario: You did good though. If you want, you can sleep on the top bunk from now on.
Luigi: Well, maybe just tonight.
(Luigi climbed onto the top bunk of the bunk bed.)
Mario: By the way, what did the heart fruit taste like? I wanted to ask you that awhile ago.
Luigi: Let's see...it tasted...kinda like...fruit punch!
Mario: Cool! I'll have to get one sometime so I can pitch eggs at people! Ha ha ha ha!
Luigi: Anyway, good night...
(Luigi fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.)
Mario: Good night, big little bro.
(Purpley and Oshi got unto the top bunk and snuggled up with Luigi. Mario allowed Pinky and Yosheta to sleep on the bottom bunk with him. After all the yoshis were asleep, Mario got up and went outside. Next morning at around ten o' clock, Luigi woke up and saw Purpley had her head on his chest.)
Luigi: That yoshi must have THEE biggest crush on me! What do you think, Mario? Mario?
(Luigi carefully got out of bed and looked around for Mario, but he seems to be gone.)
Luigi: Oh well. Might as well have breakfast...
(After waking up all the yoshis and giving all of them a bowl of cereal, Luigi tried to teach them how to use a spoon. Some of the yoshis were willing to learn, but the others like the idea of eating the cereal by slurping it up better.)
Luigi: No! Orangey! Stop that! Yellowy! Nooooo! Ah, forget it!
(During the ruckus, Mario came into the house. He looked like he didn't sleep at all and had had a lot of bruises. He quietly limped into the bedroom. After breakfast, Luigi picked up the phone and dialed a number.)
Luigi: Hello? Is this Wario? Good. Oh, I slept just fine last night. Thanks. Yeah. I need to use the ship today so I can take the yoshis back.
Blacky: Luigi doesn't want us to stay? Aww...
Yosheta: I wish Yoshi's Island wasn't so far away.
Purpley: Yeah. I wish I could see Luigi more often.
(Mario came into the kitchen. He looked a little better, but he still had lots of owies.)
Mario: Actually, I made it so you can. Luigi, hang up the phone!
Luigi: But I'm talking to War-
Mario: Hang up!
Luigi: Listen Wario. Mario wants me to hang up. Anyway, don't forget about our golf game Friday. Not sure why you want me to play with you though. My swing needs serious work. What's that? You think the last week has toughened me up? Well, I don't find that very funny, you turd! Yeah? Aw, all right. Bye.
(Luigi hang up the phone.)
Luigi: What the heck happened to you, Mario?
Mario: I've been working last night.
Luigi: On what?
Mario: Making Yoshi's Island closer to home.
Luigi: What! You can't move islands!
Mario: You're right. I can't. Just come outside with me...
(Mario led everyone outside and to a bush.)
Mario: While it's true that I can't move Yoshi's Island, I've made it so the trip there is much faster.
Luigi: Ooooookay. How?
(Mario pushed the bush to the side to reveal...)
Luigi: A warp pipe?
Mario: Yeah. Last night, I've installed this warp pipe. Hop in and you'll go straight to Purpley's house and visa versa. I'll test it right now just to be sure.
(Mario hopped into the pipe. A minute later, he popped out and gave Blacky a handful of berries.)
Mario: Here you go.
Blacky: Well, the pipe must work if you brought back berries. Thank you, Mario, for the warp pipe and thank you again, Luigi, for defeating the zookeepers. Now, we should return home. Good bye.
(One by one, the yoshis said good bye and went down the pipe. Purpley was the last to go. She gave Luigi a gentle hug before she headed down the pipe.)
Luigi: That was smart, Mario. That was smart how you made a direct link between our house and Purpley's house.
Mario: Yeah, well, it would be a bummer to leave the yoshis alone for another full year...
(For the next week, Luigi was able to relax, have fun and do whatever he pleased. The yoshis often visited him thanks to the new warp pipe. Sometimes they came to ask if he wanted to play games with them. Other times they would just chat with him. They never complained about being attacked by zookeepers. One peaceful Friday evening, Luigi was talking to Waluigi on the telephone while looking at the pink rock Purpley gave him a year ago.)
Luigi: It's been a week now since the zookeeper threat. Yes, I feel much better now. Hey. The Smash Bros. tournament is starting up again in a month. You better get some blank tapes cause you don't want to miss this one on television! Yes, I'm still in the Smash League. I'm not gonna fight right away though. New members? I think I saw a couple of eskimos signing up for the smash League. No, I don't know who they are. Princess Zelda looks interesting. As for Peach, I could care less about her-
(The front door flew open and Mario rushed in.)
Mario: Dude! Sweet! Look at this!
(Mario grabs the phone and hangs it up.)
Luigi: Hey!
Mario: Check this out!
(Mario hands Luigi a letter, who read it quietly.)
Luigi: I just won a mansion! Whoa! Cool!
Mario: Should we check it out, little bro?
Luigi: You bet, big bro.
Thus ends Luigi's greatest adventure...or does it...
The End
