Chapter 2: More Friends and… Foes

"Heya, Bowser! Can you please pass-a some of my pasta?" asked Mario.

Today is a new day. A day when the gang finally take classes of the Game Console University! The day started when the two best friends are eating some cereal and pasta.

"So, Mario. What classes will you be taking. Let me guess. Is it the pasta eating class? Mwhahaha!" laughed Bowser.

Mario groans.

"Just joking! You always fall for jokes of mine," said Bowser.

"Yeah. About that, how do you-a do it?" wondered Mario.

"I don't know. Anyway, I'm going to watch TV."

Bowser flicks the TV on. The TV shows a guy coming to the stage.

"You are watching World's Funniest Pain!" shouted the host.

Showing a man getting hit by an earthquake.

"Ow! My spleen!" screamed the man.

"Hahahahaha! What a sucker!" laughed Bowser.

"Heya! We should-a be going now. Classes will-a be starting soon," said Mario

"Okay, let's get going. Right after this."

Showing a man getting hit by a man.

"Ow! My Spleen… again!"

"Mwhahahahaha!"

The buddies left the room and heading to their first class. Then Bowser stops walking.

"Well, this is my stop," said Bowser.

Mario reads the sign of the class Bowser is going to.

"You're going to strength-a class?"

"So, what about it? I felt like strength is one of my things."

"Well, gooda luck with that!"

Mario left.

"Hey, wait! You didn't tell me your class!"

No reply from Mario.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway. At least I'm in my class anyway."

"Move out, turtle man!" shouted some unknown voice.

Bowser got pushed and fell down by an ape.

"Ow! Why you did that for?" yelled Bowser.

"Ya got a problem with me?" shouted DK.

"Stop it, people! Talking is not the answer!" said Sabin, trying to fix the problem.

"Ya shad up, weakling!" yelled DK.

DK pushed Sabin out and went to find a seat, mumbling.

Bowser got up, with little pain, and said, "Ugh… you okay there?"

"Yeah, don't worry about me. I can take nine kicks!" bragged Sabin.

Sabin stand up from the beat.

"What about ten?" asked Bowser.

"That's a different story. So you're taking strength class?" replied Sabin.

"Yeah! By the way, what's you're name?"

"Sabin. Yours?"

"Bowser. So what's up with that ape?"

"He's DK. He can be really mean, but people say he has good relationships with lots of characters. Such as Diddy Kong. No one knows why they are friends."

"Oh."

"Yeah, I know. But why are you not in your seats?" said another unknown voice.

Bowser looked and was surprised that it was one of the teachers, so he said, "Oh, oops. Sorry, Professor…"

"This may be a university, but it's run differently here. So it's Mr. Strength. Got that?" said Mr. Strength.

"Yes, Mr. Strength," said both Bowser and Sabin.

Both of them went to find their new seats.

"Okay, Class. This university is way different from other universities. Very different from Visual University or Computer Gaming University. So we would like to be called with a mister. But if you'd like, you can call us masters. Again, it's respective if you call us with a mister. Thanks to the honor of Mr. Game and Watch. Now, shall we begin?"

And so the students have been taught about strength in gaming and how is strength like in a game.

"So you see. Strength is the force you pull within you. For example in a RPG, there are strength points. In action games, you may get max strength in the game or you must find it."

Brriinng

"Okay, students. Take your bags and head on to your next class," said Mr. Strength.

"That was totally boring! All I hear was a jib jajaja hippity hop of Oklahoma candies!" said Bowser.

"But did you take notes?" asked Sabin.

"Uhh… no. Oops!"

"Don't worry! How about I lend you my notes and you copy it until 7:00 pm?"

"Thanks, Sabin! So what's your next class?"

"Teamwork class. Yours?"

"Leadership class. Since I like to talk and yell loudly."

"Good for you!

"So what happen in class, Sabin?" asked another character.

Both of them turn to see who it is, which happened to be Celia.

"Nothing. Just took notes. Oh ya! I made a new pal. His name is Bowser.

And Bowser, this is Celia, my friend," said Sabin.

"Hi, Bowser!" said Celia.

"Hello. Well, better go to class," said Bowser.

Bowser left his new friends and went to his next class.

4:02 pm…

Bowser and Genis were talking in the Game and Watch Park.

"So you met Sabin, Celia, and DK. That's cool," said Genis.

"Well, I didn't exactly met DK," said Bowser.

"You sure? I thought you were friends with DK?"

"He he… no, I'm not."

"Oh, because I'm his friend, too."

"… What?"

Suddenly, the microphone sounded, "Attention, students! Please report to your rooms in exactly 5:01 pm. No exceptions! Thank you for your patience. One more thing! Megaman, please report to the office… again."

"So, see you later!" said Bowser.

"See ya later, too!" said Genis.

And that was the first official day in the university. Bowser met new friends and a rival. Then again, you might never know what will happen next…
