Disclaimer: I don't own anything of Mario…or do I?... Fine, I really don't own Mario at all.

AN: I hope this chapter has more action than the last one. This chapter may have more action than the last one but I'm still going to try to make it funny.

Big Boo Chase!

Chapter 3: Lost in the Haunted Woods

Luigi finally catches up to Mario and Yoshi…well at least Yoshi. Luigi asks, "Yoshi, where's Mario? And what's with that strange egg behind you?" Luigi points at an egg with green spots that is behind Yoshi.

Yoshi said, "To answer the first question," Yoshi too points at the egg behind him. "And for the second question, I ate Mario and he popped out into that egg."

Luigi yelled, "You ate Mario?" Yoshi looked at Luigi. He wasn't very surprised that Luigi was startled by the fact that Yoshi had eaten Mario. He then said, "Yeah, but he will only be in the egg for a couple of minutes."

Luigi said, "Then let's get going. We can just roll the egg further so we'll get to the Haunted Woods faster. When Mario gets out of the egg, he's just going to slow us down."

Yoshi said, "Okay, hit, err, roll the egg until it hatches, got it." An evil grin suddenly appeared on Yoshi's face. Luigi realized that Yoshi was going to hit the egg around for revenge. Luigi suggested, "Yoshi, maybe I should-"

Yoshi quickly interrupted, "No, don't worry; I'll take care of Mario." Yoshi hit the egg once and thought, "1,-" He was planning on counting how many times he had hit Mario. He at least wanted to hit Mario 53 times because that was how many times Mario had hit him in the egg.

"-53, and 54!" Yoshi thought. Yoshi said aloud by accident, "Finally, I got my revenge, but you know the saying 'the more the merrier!"

Luigi didn't really want to know but he asked out of curiosity, "What, have you been hitting him this whole time? And are you going to continue hitting him?"

Yoshi replied, "of course, getting even is pretty fun but hitting someone for absolutely no reason is even more fun." The same evil grin from earlier reappeared on Yoshi's face.

Luigi asked, "What makes you say that? Heck, you've only been out of your egg for less than one day."

Yoshi thought for a minute then replied, "I don't know."

Mario finally popped out of the egg. He looked really mad. He then looked at Luigi and said, "I'm not going anywhere with that thing." He pointed at Yoshi and started talking again, "It hit me over 100 times and it took away my soccer ball."

Yoshi corrected him, "well, to be exact, I only hit you 53 times."

Luigi whispered to Yoshi then said, How about this, lets have a race to the Haunted Woods and whoever gets there first wins, and if I win, you and Yoshi have to stop arguing. If you or Yoshi win, then, well…I guess you guys can choose to continue arguing or choose to stop arguing."

Luigi was trying to make the trip shorter by making them all run, and when he had whispered to Yoshi, they had agreed that if either of them won, they would stop arguing.

Mario said, "Okay, let's go." Even though he knew that Luigi was trying to make him run, he had accepted the race. Luigi said, "Okay, ready…set…go!"

Yoshi dashed incredibly fast and was already about 100 yards in front of Mario and Luigi after 10 seconds. Luigi jogged for a bit to make sure Mario would follow, but Mario continued to walk.

Luigi asked, "Mario, what are you doing? We're supposed to be racing."

Mario answered, "I'm walking. I don't care who wins, I just don't feel like running. I am still racing right?"

Luigi walked behind Mario and said, "Fine, then if you run, you won't get hurt, okay?"

Mario was kind of nervous of what Luigi would do so he asked, "What?" Luigi started hurling green fireballs at Mario. Mario started running as fast as he could to avoid getting hurt by the fireballs.

Mario was once again running away from someone trying to hurt him. Poor Mario.

Mario and Luigi finally reach the Haunted Woods. They both stopped at the edge of the woods and stared up at the humongous trees.

Luigi started looking around for something and Mario asked, "What are you looking for?"

Luigi replied, "Yoshi. He ran off way ahead of both of us, he should be here." He stopped looking when he heard a strange noise. He looked up into one of the trees and saw Yoshi sleeping on a branch. He then yelled, "Hey Yoshi! Wake up!"

Yoshi awoke from his slumber and asked, "What took you guys so long?" He let out a huge yawn and said, "Oh, and by the way, I choose that Mario and I are to stop arguing."

Luigi said, "Mario was trying to walk, but I made him run."

Yoshi said, "Well, let's get going."

They entered the dark forest, slowly. Luigi was first, Mario was second, and Yoshi was third. Yoshi was too afraid to admit it, but he's afraid of the dark.

X

Mario was not afraid of the eerie forest, but he probably wouldn't be afraid of anything anyway because he wasn't paying attention for he was playing with a small rock.

Yoshi was looking back behind him every 5 seconds just to make sure nothing was there.

There was a long silence for a while. Luigi finally broke the silence by asking, "Do any of you two know which way we're supposed to be going?"

Yoshi quickly said, "I thought we you knew where to go so you were heading in the right direction. So your saying that we have been wandering around for the last…however long time we have been in here?"

Mario said, taunting Yoshi, "You're not afraid of the dark are you? Is there anything in the dark?... Wait, what was that? I thought I heard something strange… Yoshi, its right behind you!"

Yoshi turned around and screamed as loud as he could. Mario started laughing as Yoshi screamed.

Luigi said, "Mario that was a mean trick. Yoshi, don't worry, nothing's there. There is also no reason for you to be afraid of the dark."

Yoshi said, "Fine, I'll try not to be afraid under two conditions. First, Mario must stop being mean to me about being afraid of the dark, and second, I get to be in the middle."

Luigi said, "Okay."

They walked for a little while then Yoshi said, "So, are we really lost?"

Luigi replied, "No, don't worry."

Mario said, taunting Yoshi, "Yes, we'll never get out of this forest."

X

Several hours later Yoshi says, "Okay, now we're officially lost."

Luigi said, "No, we're not lost, we just don't know exactly where we are." Luigi looked to his left and saw a sign that read: If you see this sign, you are officially lost. Luigi said, "Well that's ironic."

Yoshi asked, "What's ironic?"

Luigi replied, trying to keep Yoshi calm, "Oh, nothing."

Mario asked rhetorically, "What's that?" A gigantic creature was standing a couple yards away from them.

Luigi asked, "What's what?" It was hard to see in the dark so Luigi didn't notice the creature. The creature started charging at them and Luigi said, "Oh, that thing."

Luigi and Mario jumped ahead and started to fight the creature. Mario punched and Luigi kicked…and the creature yawned? Mario and Luigi decided to throw fireballs at it to see if they had any affect. The creature yawned again, laid down, and fell asleep.

Mario said, "It's…sleeping?" Mario and Luigi decided to attack it while it slept but they wanted to take it out in one hit. They thought for a minute then got up and attacked.

They jumped up and came down on it with a hard punch. The creature woke up, and started thrashing at them. Luigi yelled, "That didn't even hurt it!"

Yoshi ran out in front of Mario and Luigi, stuck his tongue out, and swallowed the creature. An egg popped out of Yoshi and Yoshi threw the egg as hard as he could. The big egg flew out of the Haunted Woods so the creature wouldn't bother them again.

Mario said, "Thanks Yoshi." Wow, Mario actually thanked Yoshi.

Luigi asked, "Could you have done that the entire time?"

Yoshi replied, "Yes, I just wasn't very hungry when you guys started fighting it."

Luigi sighed and said, "Come on guys, let's go." So Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi start walking through the Haunted Woods, even though they don't know where they are going.

AN: This chapter wasn't as funny as I planed but I still hope you liked it.
