Chapter 2: A New Friend
I woke up and stretched my arms, taking a look around the scenery of Toad Town. It was a pretty pleasant place with lots of parks and just open space to roam around. It was about six thirty so none of the residents were awake just yet. I decided to take a short stroll, considering the incidents of the day before with the trust of the Toads.
During my walk, I found out that Toad Town was a very interesting place. It had a club called Club 64 with karaoke, a bar, and even some fancy dinners. It was also home to a gambling club, library, dock, and even old Merlin the fortune teller.
After about an hour of walking around, I started to get hungry. It was then that I realized that I hadn't eaten in a while, considering that Tayce T. wouldn't let me put a foot through the door of her bakery. I must have been looking through the door for some time because I didn't realize that a small toad boy behind me.
"Hey." He said, trying to get my attention.
"Oh, hi…Mario T." I answered, recognizing him as the young fungi child I had helped find his mother the day before.
"Why are looking through Tayce T's window? Are you hungry?" The young Toad asked me.
"Well sort of. She won't let me in because I'm a Shy Guy and all." I answered dejectedly.
A huge dopey grin crept upon Mario T's face. "I could help you get some food. I could get it for free. My mom is friends with Tayce T."
"You could? Really? Thanks Mario T." I said to the young fungi child.
"No problem!" Mario T. said running into Tayce T's shop.
Minutes later, Mario T. was back carrying waffles, berries, crosaints, and a two cartons of orange juice. He seemed to be starggering under the weight of all the food so I helped him carry it behind an empty building of Toad Town. There we sat down and ate breakfast.
"Hey Mario T." I said looking up from my breakfast.
"What's wrong?" He asked, bits of chewed waffle flying from his open mouth.
"Nothing." I said. "It's just that, well today if Wednesday, shouldn't you be in school?"
Mario T's fork fell from his limp grasp and he replied dejectedly, "The other kids were makin' fun of me so I left." The little fungi child then brightend up a little as if he had an idea. "Hey, can I stay with you the rest of the day? Please, please, please?"
I looked down at the tiny toad, the simle on his face was so big it looked as though his head would split in half. "Okay, but does your mother know your with me?"
"No, but I can run over to Fungi Elementary really fast and get on the bus, and go home like I went to school."
"Well, you shouldn't do this much anymore, the people at school will start getting worried. And beside you should not waste your school education." I answered trting to set a good example for the young fungi child.
"Oh, Mario T. replied, looking down at his feet. "Hey, did you ever finish school? Like high school and stuff?"
I looked down at the smiling Fungi child for a moment and said, "Well to to tell you the truth, I never was in school. I was trained at birth to become a guard for General Guy's Army."
"Why aren't you working for General Guy anymore?" Mario T. asked me.
"He threw me out for my obsession with lemon candy." I said.
The little toad seemed to be fighting back laughter. "That's kinda a stupid reason to be thrown out of the Shy Squad."
"Yeah I know, pretty dumb, huh?" I said, forcing a laugh.
Then I remembered the General Guy and the Shy Squad, my mission to prove General Guy wrong and rebel against him with the famous plumber, Mario Mario. I looked down at the little toad sitting next to me, may be a friend was a good place to start.
"Hey Mario T." I said to the Fungi child. "Why don't I take you back to school, may be the kids won't bug you anymore now that class has started."
The tiny mushroom boy loked upset at the idea but agreed anyway. As he walked through the gates, I watched from behing a building (The Toads of Toad Town still didn't trust me) to him to make sure he got in safely.
As I traveled back behind the deserted home where I had made my temporary camp, I figured that making a friend was one small step in the giant leap to becoming a Shy Guy hero.
