Chapter 4
Thin Air
"Hooold on, Mario, we're almost there!" Peach shouted as she maneuvered past bananas and fake item boxes.
Mario half-conciously murmured, "Huh? Peach? Where am..."
"This is the Mario Kart Grand Prix... Let me focus..."
"Hey! Let me have a turn behind the wheel!" Mario suddenly jerked out of his trance and knocked Peach over, causing the kart to turn backwards.
"MARIO! We're about to finish!" Peach yelled, trying to get the kart moving straight again.
"AND THE WINNER..."
"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! Hold on! Let me steer this..."
"IS..."
"But I didn't have a... a... GIMME!"
"... DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DUM! ... BOWSER!"
"HEY!" Peach scolded. "Wait! Now Bowser's..." Six other karts raced ahead of them to finish.
"GRRRRR! We were about to finish in first, if it wasn't for YOU and your sudden stream of concious..."
Peach stopped, when she suddenly heard a strange cracking noise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, wait, why are we falling through thin air?" asked a newly concious Mario.
"I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING!" Peach hollered in Mario's ear.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in your computer room...
You: *chuckles* Ooh, the breakup, the breakup!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes, you do, since you are perfect with your perfect pearl eyes and your perfect crystal teeth and your perfect ocean-like drool and your... um... perfect ski-resort nose..." Mario went on, blinded by love.
"EXCUSE ME," Peach yelled, "but my nose is NOT a ski resort!"
"... and your perfect seashell ears, and your perfect... ohh... your body is a wonder..."
"Oh, no," Peach groaned. "NOT THAT SONG AGAIN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, up on Earth...
Luigi sighed, looking up at the sky. The sun had began to set. "If my plan had only worked... if I had saved Peach... we would be together now... at this very spot... um..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"What?" Mario snapped out of his love-stricken confusion.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Peach screamed again.
"Peach, will you explain what's happ..."
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Nooooo! Noooooo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."
A second later, Mario thought that he saw a ghostlike figure in front of him. It was... familiar... and Peach was suddenly in his arms, unconcious...
"Peach. What. Just. Happened."
Peach bolted up. "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in your computer room...
You: WHAT THE...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"But you don't have a car. You don't know what Geico is. FOR GOD'S SAKE, THIS ISN'T THE REAL WORLD!" yelled Mario.
"Uhhhh... euurrnnngh... ngggg..." Peach moaned.
Suddenly Mario's head hit something. A large red bump the size of a baseball swelled on the side of his head.
"Great. Now I'm UGLY," Mario complained.
"I never said you were ugly," Peach said. "You're very..."
"Oh, good, Peach is back again," muttered Mario. "What happened to your alter ego?"
"What alter ego?"
Peach and Mario both jerked their heads backwards at this strange voice.
"Ummm..." Mario said.
"Ummmmm..." Peach said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: A little... weird I know. But the "alter ego" part is going to be explained later...
