AN: I am going to try to make this chapter longer than the first one. I hope this one isn't nearly as short as the first one.
Big Boo Chase!
Chapter Two: Boo's Whereabouts
Mario started to get very bored from the long walk to Toad Town. Luigi was still worried about what King Boo stole from their house so he kept trying to make Mario hurry up, but his attempts ended in failure.
Luigi tried to make Mario run by saying "Mario, if the boo took something really important like a…"
Mario expected Luigi's futile attempt to make him run so he quickly interrupted Luigi and with a sigh " For the last time, I'm not going any faster because if I don't know what is in the box King Boo stole, then it mustn't be very important."
Mario tripped over a strange egg, even though he was looking down at the ground. Mario didn't feel like talking so he thought to himself, "Is this a Yoshi egg…? Oh well, at least it might be able to amuse me while walking."
Mario started kicking the Yoshi egg around onthe ground. This amused him, so he started to play soccer with himself. The egg was kicked to the left, then to the right, then forward. Mario shot the egg, and scored!...Except that there wasn't a goal nearby so the egg hit the back of Luigi's head.
Luigi was very mad atand hurt by the egg. Luigi yelled at Mario with flames in his eyes "What the hell was that for?"
Mario was ignoring Luigi the entire time. This made Luigi even madder. Luigi grabbed Mario's shoulder and once again yelled "Mario, what the hell was that for?"
Mario asked while retrieving the egg "What was what for?" Mario was too busy imagining that he shot the egg\ball into an actual goal so he didn't realize that he hit his own brother.
Luigi figured that Mario didn't know what he did so he grumbled "Never mind"
Mario said "Okay". He wasn't even going to listen to what Luigi was going to complain about anyway. Mario resumed his game.
Luigi decided to let Mario play with the egg because it made him move faster.

Mario and Luigi finally reached Toad Town. Many Toads stared suspiciously at Mario because he was kicking a strange egg around on the ground. Finally, a Toad asked Mario with surprise "Is that a real Yoshi egg?"
Mario was unsure of what to say. He didn't even remember how he got the egg, or what type of egg it was (he forgets things when he doesn't care about it). Mario finally replied after thinking for a couple of seconds "Sure, why not?"
The Toad asked again just to be sure if it really was a Yoshi egg, "Seriously, is it a Yoshi egg or not?"
Mario still wasn't sure so he said, "I guess it is." Luigi overheard this short conversation and stopped walking. He didn't even bother turning around when he answered correctly, "Yes, the egg that Mario is kicking is a real Yoshi egg."
The Toad exclaimed in joy, "AMAZING! Please follow me; I will take you to my research laboratory so I can research everything that I can about that egg!" The Toad was so eager to study the egg that he grabbed Mario, who was holding the egg, and started running toward his house.

When they finally got to the Toad's house the Toad said, "I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the magnificent Professor Toad!"
Luigi whispered sarcastically to Mario, "Wow, that name must be very uncommon in Toad Town."
Professor Toad had heard his rude remark and gave him a really evil glare. He then said, "Now, back to the Yoshi egg business, this is my laboratory. This is where I am going to research the egg."
Luigi said, "First, what do you mean YOU are going to research the egg, we were the ones who found the egg… well, technically, Mario found the egg, but that's not the point. And second, is this your house or your laboratory?" Mario was keeping quiet while juggling the egg…with two wrenches.
Professor Toad saw Mario dangerously juggling the egg so he yelled, "What the hell do you think your doing! You could break the egg by doing that!"
Mario stopped juggling the three objects, caught the next object that came down and let the other two objects fall. Luckily, the only thing he caught was the Yoshi egg. Professor Toad was sweating very hard until he saw Mario's fluke.
The egg started bumping in Mario's hands. The egg was hatching! Everyone in the house was staring at the egg. Suddenly, a green Yoshi popped out of the egg and yawned. He looked at everyone's astonished faces and said, "Hello,"
Professor Toad stuttered as he asked, "W-w-what's y-your name?" He couldn't help but stutter because he was looking at the rarest animal in the world. The Yoshi replied, "Yoshi,"
Once Luigi heard the name he went insane for a little while. He thought, "A Toad's name is Professor TOAD and a Yoshi's name is YOSHI? Who the hell writes these names? What kind of idiot names a Toad, TOAD, and a Yoshi, YOSHI?"
Professor Toad exclaimed, "Yoshi, I need to know as much as possible about you! Please come here so I can-"
Yoshi rudely interrupted, "No way Doc, first I want to find out who was kicking me around in my egg, and second, there is no way I will stay with some crazy old Toad who thinks that his normal house is a laboratory."
Professor Toad became angry at Yoshi. He was still fascinated by Yoshi yet very angry at the same time. He yelled, "Hey! I do have an actual name you know!"
Yoshi, with his tough-guy attitude, replied, "So? I like calling you Doc; you got a problem with it?"
Professor Toad asked, "So where do you want to go? I too want you out of here, now." He grumbled aloud trying to let everyone hear that he was angry.
Luigi was staying quiet trying not to get caught in the fight. Meanwhile Mario is standing in the exact same position he was in when the Yoshi egg hatched. He was crying that his soccer ball had broken into two pieces. Luigi had heard Professor Toad's question so he answered, "We want to go to Boo's Mansion."
Professor Toad walked over to a shelf with books while saying, "Well then, while there, I guess you won't mind dying for me, especially since you will be walking straight into death by going there anyway."
Yoshi said, "Yeah yeah, whatever. Just tell us where to go so we can get out of here."
Professor Toad said, "Fine, to get to Boo's Mansion you must…"

"…then you will find yourself at Boo's Mansion." Professor Toad finished.
Luigi sighed and said, "So you just wasted 3 hours of our time by telling us how to get to Boo's Mansion when you could have just said 'To get to Boo's Mansion you must go through the Haunted Woods. Boo's Mansion is in the middle of the Haunted Woods, and the Haunted Woods are about two and a half miles northeast of Toad Town.'."
Professor Toad replied, "Yes, but the way you said it, it would be very vague. Also, the Haunted Woods are very misleading. You will never know which way you are going, or which way you are supposed to go."
Yoshi asked, "What if we bring a compass?"
Professor Toad answered, "A compass would go berserk, it would be of no use. Whoever goes in the forest never comes back out."
Luigi asked, "If nobody comes back out of the forest then how do you even know that Boo's Mansion is in there anyway?"
Professor Toad replied, "Well, we know the mansion is in there because a boo kidnapped a young Toad and sent a note that said 'If you ever want to see the girl again then you'll have to come get her yourself. Our mansion is within the Haunted Woods, and don't worry, you knowing this information wont make any difference. The Haunted Woods is so mind-boggling, that no living creature can find their way through it, or even out of it.'." Professor Toad looked back up from reading the note and saw that nobody else was there. He yelled, "It's the curse of the boo!"

Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi headed toward the Haunted Woods. Since Yoshi had popped out of his egg, Mario was lagging behind. Mario finally said, "I wish I had the egg back so could kick it." He then sighed.
Yoshi heard Mario's wish and yelled, "So it was you who was kicking my egg! I'm going to get you for that!"
Mario and Yoshi ran past Luigi, Mario running for his life, and Yoshi running for revenge. Luigi thought, "Well, at least we're moving faster now."
AN: Two good things happened during this chapter. First, it was longer than the first chapter, and second, I'm getting faster at typing.
