Chapter 6: Lost and Found
Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Wario had stopped for the night. In the early hours of the morning, Wario woke up to go to the bathroom. Several yards from the campsite, Wario found a tree next to some bushes. After finishing his business he turned to walk back to the campsite. But when he took a few steps some rustling in the bushes caught his attention. He turned to see a pair of eyes watching him from within the brush.
Screaming, he ran back to the campsite. The hullabaloo woke everyone else up and they crawled out of their tents.
"What is it, Wario?" Mario asked.
"Something was watching me pee from the bushes!" Wario answered frantically.
"Don't worry, I wasn't going to hurt you. I lost you guys and needed someone to follow back to the campsite," a voice behind Wario said. They all looked to see a gangly dude with brown hair and a black, zig-zaggy mustache in black overalls, a purple shirt, brown shoes, and a purple hat with a purple, upside-down "L" in a white circle on it.
"Who are you?" Mario asked the stranger.
"Waluigi?" Wario asked, staring at the stranger.
"What? You know him?" Peach asked.
"You people never got to meet him. When our parents separated when we were babies, Waluigi got sent somewhere else with my father," Wario said.
"Your parents?" Yoshi asked, "As in both of your parents?"
"Generally brothers have the same parents, yes," Waluigi answered sarcastically.
"So, Waluigi is mine, Luigi, and Jessie's cousin?" Mario asked.
"Oh, you are smart," Waluigi answered.
"Oh, yeah, I can definitely see those two being brothers," Yoshi remarked.
"So, why were you following us?" Wario asked Waluigi.
"I got lost in the woods. Then I saw you guys and I decided I'd follow you out and then show myself," Waluigi explained.
"I guess that means you'll be continuing with us?" Peach asked.
"You are correct, ma'am," he replied.
"All right, just let us pack up camp and we can get going again," Mario said, as they started breaking down camp. When finally they were done, they continued following Wario.
