Here's the third chapter of the Yoshi Experiment for your enjoyment, folks!

Responses:

Nintendo Nut1: Well, it would depend on the prank. For example, in this prank Mario would be an actor and help the story be more believable, you catch my drift?

Anters: It's more that the pranks are different skits where Yoshi tries to scare the crap out of them, physically harm them (just kidding), or wage a psychological battle with them. Sometimes it's all three. Basically Yoshi tries to bring out the worst in the Smashers and get it on camera all the more to embarrass them. This next skit should work in Yoshi's favor; though...just let us finish the pranks on the Mario Bros. first.

doubledude: I will.

Sapphirecat: Don't worry, update is now.

Tweedle Dumbass: Well, well, I'm glad you enjoy it!

"Well-a, Yoshi, I-a know what I-a want to do!" Mario said to Yoshi one day during lunch.

"What is it?"

Mario drew closer to Yoshi and whispered, "I-a want to prank Luigi for-a two days ago!"

"For the cement bag? Well, how can we do that...?"

"Mario-a, why-a did you-a take me here?" That was the question Luigi posed to Mario when he was taken to the Ruby Island hotel and casino in Neonopolis. Luigi hadn't noticed Mario to be so insistent; Luigi thought Mario was up to something. "Come-a on, what's-a our purpose for-a being here?"

"I-a heard there was a good café here-a..." Mario said. "Just-a let me use the-a restroom first." Running over to the restroom, he rendezvoused with Yoshi and two security guards on the casino floor dressed in FBN (Federal Bureau of Nintendo) agent uniforms and decked with the black suits, the sunglasses, the earpiece...the whole nine yards. Yoshi gave them the signal, and the two men grabbed Mario by the arms and walked up to Luigi while Yoshi himself and the cameramen hid in rooms on the 10th floor of the Ruby Island.

"Hey-a, bro...I-a think I'm-a in trouble..." Luigi could only stop and stare in shock.

"WHAT THE FU-"

"We'll need you to come with us," one of the men said as they took Mario up an elevator and into a hotel tower. Before getting on the elevator, Luigi had one thought in mind:

'What-a the hell have-a you done now?'

"Your brother is in trouble with the FBN." one of the men said point-blank when they reached the hotel room.

"WHAT!" Luigi screamed.

"Let me explain, Julian." the second man told the first. "I'm Randall, and this is Julian. We've been trailing a man by the name of Thomas Vittorio of Eagleland. He's a slick character; he's wanted by the FBN for various charges."

"What does-a this have to do with us-a?" Luigi snapped. "We-a didn't do anything wrong!"

"Your brother did." Randall continued. "Thomas Vittorio is known as 'The King of Fraud' because that's what he does best: fraud people. He's been running a classic pyramid scheme; he poses as a man who needs investments and promises them extravagant items to help his investors out. However, when he gets the money, he's long gone the next day."

"Mario here is in trouble with us and gave an investment to Vittorio, and according to the ordinances passed by Smash Island, the law states that anyone involved in projects of questionable legality will be arrested and imprisoned without parole." Julian finished.

"Mario, you-a idiot!" Luigi smacked Mario upside the head and asked the agent, "Is-a there a way-a to not get imprisoned?"

"Only if you help us catch this bastard will you not be imprisoned then." Julian answered. "We need your help to catch Vittorio, and you'll be a temporary agent to the FBN. You, Luigi, are the key to helping us nail this bastard."

"How?"

"Well, you'll be given an envelope with money in it." Julian continued. "Hand it to Vittorio, and we can nail him if he actually opens it. He has to open it, not put it in his pocket."

"Okay-a..."

"Meanwhile, Julian here will call the shots." Randall left off for the other actor to explain.

"You and Mario will be wired up, that is, you will have earpieces and cameras hidden on you from the minute you walk into his room." Julian said. "I will dictate what you are supposed to do, and follow our plan exactly to help us nail this bastard."

"Will-a I get anything in return?" Luigi asked.

"You'll get an official notice that you helped the FBN," Randall said. "And you will be given a monetary reward for your services to the Smash Island."

"Sweet-a!" Luigi said. "I'm-a in!"

After wiring up Luigi and installing an earpiece, he and Mario walked several doors down from the FBN room (1001) to Vittorio's room, 1010. Once they reached the room, Julian said to Luigi via the earpiece, "Now, just follow what I say. I'm a trained professional."

"Yeah, and I'm-a famous..." Luigi muttered. He knocked on the door, and it opened to reveal Yoshi! This time he wore a dark suit, a silver wig, lots of makeup and a pair of sunglasses and a thick mustache. Luigi didn't recognize him, thankfully, and admitted the both of them into the room.

"Yo, Mary-o, how's the tourney life?" Yoshi asked in a rat-face voice.

"Very-a good, my nizzo!" Mario replied. "It's all good-a."

"Very good. So who's this you brought with you?" Yoshi asked.

"This-a is my-a brother, Luigi."

"Nice to meet you, Luigi." Yoshi replied, holding out his hand to shake it.

"Shake Vittorio's hand." Julian replied through the earpiece. Luigi did so, and then told Luigi, "Sit down at the couch." Luigi plopped down at the couch, and Yoshi and Mario followed, only to trip and crash all over the coffee table, splintering the wood and sending cypress flying onto the floor. "...okay, that was weird..."

"Yep..." Luigi said absentmindedly.

"Ouch...stupid clumsiness..." Yoshi growled in his rat voice, his sunglasses cracked and his hair full of wood splinters. "Anyway, what brings you two here?"

"Well, I-a wanted to-" Mario was stopped by Julian, who was talking to him through an earphone.

"Get out of there."

"I-a got to go-a..." Mario said as he left the room as quickly as he came. Luigi just stared after his retreating figure, and screamed mentally:

'Don't-a leave me here! I-a don't want to be-a with this weirdo!'

After several uncomfortable minutes, Julian told Luigi, "Ask him about the investments."

"So-a, what's-a with the-a investments?" Luigi asked. Yoshi beamed.

"I thought you'd never ask! What's the middle word in enrichment?"

"Um-a...rich?" Luigi asked.

"RICH! RIGHT!" Yoshi proudly declared, startling the poor guy. "People like cheesecake because it's so...?" He left off letting Luigi guess.

"Say 'tasty'." Julian said through the earpiece.

"Tasty-a?"

"RICH! RIGHT!" Luigi squeaked, and Yoshi noticed this. 'Just a bit more, now...' "Some people say I want a piece of the pie, right? But I want the whole..." He let Luigi guess again.

"Say 'cake'." Julian replied.

"Cake-a?"

"ENCHILADA! RIGHT!" Luigi was worried, and he looked like he would wet himself. Yoshi grinned secretly.

Yoshi then explained to Luigi, "Listen, my new plan, if it works, will get us hundreds of millions of dollars. But I can't get it to work if I don't have the necessary funds. You see, I managed to find a way to change normal metal to precious metal like gold!"

"That's why they invented the particle accelerator..." Julian muttered.

"Anyway, this new invention of mine can make anything into gold." Yoshi, as Vittorio, continued in his rat-voice. "This can make people rich overnight, and the best thing is, the people at the treasury can't see any difference! What do you think, huh?"

'It's-a too good to be-a true...' Luigi thought.

"Perfect-a!" Luigi replied out loud. "It's-a amazing!" He looked a little relieved when Randall strolled in minutes later, posing as room service. His cowardice seemed to melt away, and Yoshi smirked, knowing his plan was well into motion.

"Room service." Randall told Yoshi, handing him a menu.

"Oh, finally!" Yoshi replied, languidly glancing over the menu. He asked Luigi, "Is there anything you want?"

"Ask for some coffee." Julian told the green machine.

"Um, coffee, please-a?" Luigi took a cup of hot coffee offered by the FBN agent and sighed after drinking some of it. "Ahh, that-a hits the-a spot."

"Oh, crap..." Julian said in the earpiece.

"What-a?" Luigi asked.

"Randall's beard is falling off..." Luigi turned to the FBN agent and, indeed, saw one side of the beard falling off his face.

"What-a do we-a do?" Luigi asked, albeit cowardly. Mario heard this (he actually left to go to the agent's room) and snickered. Julian was trying to suppress a laugh as well. It wouldn't be too long, now.

"Signal it to him." Julian responded. "Cough and point to your face."

Luigi was coughing a bit, and trying to get Randall's attention. Meanwhile, Yoshi noticed this and asked, "Hey, Luge, you okay? I don't want you dying on me here."

"I am-a..." Luigi replied, still pointing to his face. Randall had no idea what was going on, though.

"Oh, okay." Yoshi went back to the menu. "Hmm...Grilled peaches and rib eye...oh, they have an apple-pecan parfait! Mass wootage...Flame-broiled salmon and oranges? That sounds exotic...hey, Luge!"

"What-a!" Luigi jumped at mention of his name, as if he wasn't jumpy enough.

"You want anything?" Yoshi asked him, albeit worriedly.

"Say you'll get breaded mushrooms." Julian replied.

"I-a want breaded shrooms-a." Luigi replied, still coughing and pointing to his face in a desperate attempt to get Randall's attention.

"Okay, then. Want me to top it off?" Randall asked, pointing to the coffee cup. Luigi nodded, and then pointed at the beard.

"Fine. This apple-pecan parfait sounds intriguing; I'll take that." Yoshi replied.

"You want something to drink?"

"Of course! I'll have an orange-mango smoothie." Yoshi finally looked up, and he frowned when he saw Randall's beard falling off. Luigi groaned and sighed in defeat. "Would you also like some glue, sir?" he asked skeptically.

"Glue?" Randall questioned.

"For your face?" Yoshi pointed eloquently at where the beard was falling off, and Randall felt it and panicked.

"Oh, shi-excuse me a moment..." Randall rushed out of the hotel room, clutching his face and tripping over the service cart on the way out. Hot coffee sloshed onto the floor as Randall left in a hurry, like a bat outta hell.

"I-a tried to warn-a him..." Luigi whispered a little too loudly, and Yoshi overheard this.

"Warn him?" Luigi heard Yoshi, and he whimpered a bit. "Yo man, first your brother leaves without so much as a good-bye, and now this dude comes in with his face falling off! What the hell's going on?"

"Um-a...it's nothing odd-a or suspicious-a, I know..."

"Are you sure?" Luigi nearly screamed like a girl when Yoshi pointed a gun at Luigi's head. The gun was actually a paintball gun, but Yoshi cleverly styled it to look like a Colt .45. He also took the liberty to label it 'Rapier: .45 caliber'. Yoshi pointed the paintball gun at Luigi's head, and he growled. "Are you a betting man? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Luigi was on the verge of cracking into strong hysterics. "Y-y-y-y-yes-a, Vitt-t-t-t-t-ori-i-i-i-o-o-o-o..."

Yoshi slipped the gun into its holster, and Luigi sighed in relief. "I should hope not, for lying to me will have some...rather unpleasant consequences..." Mario noticed this on the hidden camera and wondered how Yoshi stayed so resolute in the face of cowardice. It threw a light onto Yoshi's possible doings in the past. "Sit down." Luigi was all but happy to follow Yoshi's commands. Luigi nearly screamed when Julian spoke into his ear.

"Give him the envelope." Luigi was all-too-pleased to reply, and pulled the manila envelope out of his pocket and onto the table. Yoshi just stared at it.

"What's this, huh?"

"It's-a the real reason I-a came." Luigi lied. 'Oh, he probably knows...'

"You're going in with this, huh?" Yoshi scrutinized Luigi's face; he was sweating profusely and looked as if he could crack at any second. Yoshi grinned; that was the result he was hoping for. "Well, I don't know..."

"Just-a open the thing." Luigi commanded.

"Okay, okay. Geesh, don't have a cow..." Yoshi muttered as he tore open the envelope. He counted the money inside it, and gawked. "Damn, you're going all in with this..."

"Yep..." Luigi said. He had to suppress an urge to scream when Julian said in his ear:

"We got him. We nailed the bastard. Stand up and say you're busted."

"You're-a busted!" Luigi shouted, standing and pointing eloquently at Yoshi.

"What do you mean, I'm busted?" Yoshi asked, sipping at a glass of Merlot.

"You're-a busted. That's-a all I-a can say." At this point, Julian, Randall and Mario stomped in, the two agents wielding tazers and handcuffs.

"Sir, we are Randall Crump and Julian Lancaster of the Federal Bureau of Nintendo." Julian introduced. "Thomas Vittorio, you are under arrest for fraud and embezzlement from the Mission Technologies Company in Nelson's Landing."

"What?" Yoshi panicked, and glared at Luigi. "You tricked me!" Luigi responded by grabbing the mug of warm coffee from the table and drank it heartily. He burned his tongue, however, and spluttered, coughing up some of the coffee and waving his hand like a fan over his tongue.

"Ouch..." Luigi muttered, trying to cool his tongue.

"You little...you played me...and you think it's FUNNY!" This caught Luigi off-guard, and watched Yoshi break out of the agents' grasp, grab the paintball gun from the table, aimed it menacingly at the agents, and fire several shots. The first two shots missed the agents and splattered against the walls. Luigi immediately lost it and went into strong hysterics.

"AUGH! WE'RE-A ALL GOING TO DIE-A!" Luigi was running around the room, screaming like a chicken with its head cut off.

"Hold still!" Yoshi yelled, pointing the paintball gun at Luigi.

"AUGH!" Before he knew it, he screamed like a girl and pressed himself against the wall of the hotel room. Then he did something embarrassing:

He shat himself.

The yellow liquid ran down his pant leg and gather into a puddle on the floor. Julian and Randall looked disgusted, and Yoshi and Mario were trying, and failing miserably, to stifle their laughter. "Well, at least I don't have to use the restroom anymore, but what's so funny, Vittorio?"

"You! That was good!" Yoshi replied, his rat-voice replaced by the high pitch of his normal voice.

"Yoshi!" Luigi spluttered as Yoshi removed his wig and makeup.

"I'm-a sorry, bro!" Mario laughed. "But-a that was priceless!"

"Yep!" Yoshi squeaked. "And there's a camera there, and a camera there..." He pointed to the different places in the hotel room where the cameras were hidden.

"Yoshi!" Luigi protested, but his expression softened and he burst into laughter. "Man, and here I thought you sucked at pranks..."

"Well, there's more to me than meets the eye." Yoshi finished as everyone continued laughing.

There's prank two: Yoshi has dished out revenge on Luigi. What's next, huh? Stay tuned and find out!
