A few hours later, the Wario brothers woke up in a house that seemed to have a rather weak foundation. Kletus was standing right in front of them.
"You're awake already? Sorry about the thing I did." said Kletus. "I should have figured you city folks would not be able to withstand a strong smell like mine."
"That's okay. We've had worse things happening to us." replied Wario.
"As I was trying to say, do you know where we could find a piece of the (finger quote) "Thingy?"" asked Waluigi.
"The "Thingy"? Why didn't you just say so? I reckon you'll find one of them pieces in Barren Wasteland." replied Kletus.
"And where would that be?" asked Wario.
"It's north when you get out of town." replied Kletus.
"Thanks for the info, Kletus!" said Waluigi.
"No problem. Y'all come back if you want to see me again!" said Kletus.
Wario and Waluigi got out of the house and went out of town to go north towards Barren Wasteland. A few hours later, Wario's stomach growled.
"Man, we haven't eaten anything since this trip started!" complained Wario.
"Don't worry, bro. We're bound to find a restaurant soon...I hope." said Waluigi.
"We're doomed." said Wario.
Suddenly, a green man with red spiky hair wearing swirly glasses, a blue business suit and brown shoes popped out from behind a rock. He was carrying a suitcase.
"Greetings, salutations, and happy birthday to you!" said the strange man.
"Who in the name of myself are you?" said a bewildered Wario.
"Allow moi to introduce myself. I am Gomango, the fanta-bulous salesman!" replied the strange man.
"Fanta-bulous? Is that even a word?" said Waluigi to himself.
"What do you want?" asked Wario.
"I have heard about your un-groovy pain, so I decided to come." replied Gomango. "Lucky for you, I have all sorts of food in my amazing disposal!"
Gomango opened his suitcase and a mountain of food suddenly popped out of it.
"Let's see here-a-ding-a-ling...I've got weiners, peanuts, walnuts, bananas, pickles, oranges, apples, potatoes, ice cream, tuna, bologna, slush, snow, old shoes, boogers, lipstick, cow poop..."
"OKAY, I GET IT!" yelled an angry Wario. "How much does this stuff cost?"
"You can buy all this fabu-tastic grub for the low-low price of 1,000,000,000 coins!" replied Gomango.
"What? I'm not paying that, you freeloader!" said Wario.
"No sale? Too bad! Just come see me again if you change your brainy mind." said Gomango. "Have a lemony day!"
Gomango let out a fart and flew away from Wario and Waluigi.
"You idiot! Why didn't you buy anything from him?" asked Waluigi.
"I would rather starve than spend my entire fortune on some nutso's food supply!" replied Wario. "And besides, I don't like salesmen."
"Oh well. We'll just have to find some food when we get to Barren Wasteland." suggested Waluigi.
"Sounds like a plan to me!" replied Wario.
The two brothers resumed traveling to Barren Wasteland in order to find the first piece of the "Thingy"...
