A/N: Taking a break from a rather sad story, Fate's Path, I'm writing this as a more relaxed and humorous story. Please R&R! (and whatever you do, DON'T scroll down to the bottom of the page)

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Mario and Crew, but I do own Bob and myself. )

Prologue

"I can so beat you!"

"No you can't!"

"I can beat both of yall!"

"No you can't!"

"I'm the best out of everyone here!"

"Yeah right!"

"I may be a girl, but I can beat most people at lots of things!"

"Well I'm the best because I can…"

"BE QUIET FOR A MINUTE!"

The crowd quieted for a few seconds, then resumed arguing. Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi, Toad, Daisy, Bowser, and Boo were arguing who was the best of the group. They had been arguing for an hour now, and Peach gave up her futile attempts to end the commotion.

What had started as a simple sibling quarrel between Mario and Luigi, was now an all-out argument. Nobody near the front fields of the castle could get any peace.

"I have a proposal!" announced a voice.

Everyone turned to look at the owner of the voice. The "person" was covered in a black robe. No part of him was visible. Mario thought he heard a "dun dun dun," but ignored it. The "person" gave everyone the creeps, except Luigi. He had already passed out.

"Wwwhat is yyyyour name?

"My name is of no concern to mortals!"

Mario & Co. slowly backed away from the figure, using the unconscious Luigi as a shield.

"But since the author wants to actually give me a name, you can call me…. (drum roll)…………………………….. BOB!"

This name was followed by sweatdrops appearing on everybody else's head. An awkward silence followed. Someone snored. Someone yawned. Someone went to go eat a snack. Someone went to bed. The sun went down………….. The sun came back up.

Groans were heard as the bright sun slowly woke everyone up again. They were piled on top of one another. Luigi was on the bottom. Ironically, Wario was on the top.

After a few minutes, everybody was straightened back up.

"Anyway…." Bob finally continued. "I suggest that you all compete in a series of contests to determine who the winner is. I will appoint the judges, so it will be fair."

"Why didn't yall think of that before!" scolded Peach. "Mario, you of all people should have thought of this. You are all so stupid!"

Vicious glares in her direction followed.

"Um….. I mean everyone was just too clever that such an answer was…..too common?" Peach said in a joking voice. "hehe…he?"

Mario was the first one to return to more "important" matters. "We accept your proposal, but I suspect there is a catch!"

Bob chuckled. "Yes, there is a catch. Since ordinary contests would not do any good for ones so…superior, our development team has decided to...liven things up."

A head appeared out of nowhere and glared at Bob. "You mean I, Iloveyoshis, decided to."

"Er…yes that is what I meant. Anyway, let the contests begin!" Bob pressed a switch on a remote, and firecrackers started to light up the background.

Sorry for the short chapter, but it was a prologue after all. Any suggestions for contests are greatly appreciated. I have an idea for the 1st one.
