Chapter 5: What a Disaster!

"Wow, ya work very well here!"

Mmyesss… Bowser and his friends had finished designing the room to an Italian restaurant. DK complimented Bowser's work and told him the special planned date will start tonight.

"Okay, Jack," said Bowser, "we need to get you ready for the night with Celia."

"Yeah…" said Jack, nervously.

"Don't-a worry, Jack. Everything is-a going to be all-a right!" said Mario, trying to make Jack feel better.

"Yeah, not after what I taught you," said Genis, excited.

"I just hope nothing would go wrong," said Jack.

It was seven o'clock pm. Samus told Bowser that she has to go to sleep. Sabin went with his other friends. Now that remains Bowser, Genis, and Mario.

"Where is Jack?" asked Bowser.

"Maybe he is-a still dress-a-ing up," thought Mario.

"Mario, why are you in the eating lounge? You're supposed to cook some pasta!" yelled Bowser.

"Well-a, um… there-a seems to be an accident," replied Mario.

"How can you possibly make an accident at a time like this? You're supposed to be good at cooking pasta!" shouted Genis.

"Well, um… I kinda missing some-a of the ingredients."

"Dammit, Mario!" yelled Bowser.

"Sorry-a, Bowser."

"Look, why don't you order pizza before Celia gets here, okay?"

"You-a got it!"

So Mario left to buy some pizza. Wow, the disaster just started.

"I'm here!" said Jack.

"Oh great. Jack is here," said Bowser, nervously.

"Look, Jack. Sorry to break the news, but you and Celia will have to wait for the food," confessed Genis, "but at least you can express your smarts to Celia!"

"By the way, where is Celia?" wondered Bowser.

"Oh, I left her for a reason, but she's coming," answered Jack.

"What reason?" asked Genis.

"Well, you know about the tutoring you did to me?" said Jack.

"Don't tell me, you…"

"Forgot," finished Jack.

"What! That can't be? Really?" shouted Bowser.

"Uh… yeah."

"But how?" asked Genis.

"You see, it's like this."

-Flashback-

"Well, Nightmare. Here are your souls."

Jack handed him the bucket of dead people.

"Wow! Thanks!"

-Reality-

"Damn you, Nightmare!" said Bowser.

"But wait, how can you lose your memory of the concepts I taught you?" wondered Genis.

"Oh wait! That was not the cause!" said Jack.

"So what is it?" asked Bowser.

"Well, it began…"

"You know what, forget it," said Genis, "we need to get you ready somehow…"

"Oh what are we going to use? Walkie Talkies? Yeah, right," said Bowser.

"Why is it that when I'm thinking about something, you always give me the answer?" wondered Genis.

"What? Really?"

"Never mind about that. Bowser, get two walkie talkies," ordered Genis.

"On it, Genis!" replied Bowser, went to look for the walkie talkies.

"I don't get it, Genis. How are those going to help us?" asked Jack.

"How stupid can you get?"

"Found it!" said Bowser.

"Come on, Bowser. We have to get into position, NOW!" shouted Genis.

So everybody was in place. Jack was waiting outside the room. Genis is acting like a normal nobody eating in the restaurant. And Bowser, disguised as the fat ogre, was the waiter. Later, Celia and Jack came in.

"Wow! This place is decorative!" said Celia, amazed.

"Yeah, I know!" said Jack.

"Okay, Bowser. Tell them the chef will be late today," instructed Genis.

Bowser went to them to give them their seats.

"Wow! We even have a fat, stupid, ugly ogre as our waiter!" said Celia.

"Please don't call me that," said Bowser.

"Cool! He even sounds stupid!"

Genis turned on the walkie talkie and making sure it's on low volume.

"Okay, Jack. Tell her you enslaved that ogre," ordered Genis.

"Did you know that I enslaved this ogre," said Jack.

So Jack told her the fake story about being a slave and overcoming obstacles to rule the ogre, which is actually Bowser in costume.

"Tell her about the homework and how smart you are," said Genis.

So Jack told her about the homework and other smart things.

"Where is Mario," whispered Genis.

"He told me in the Cell PSP that he's not buying pizza. He's buying ingredients for the pasta!" replied Bowser.

"Tell him we don't have time!"

"Too late. He told me his PSP is running out of power."

"Dude, this is taking too long!"

Genis then use the walkie talkie.

"Jack, tell her…"

Suddenly, the two walkie talkies ran out of power.

"What? This can't be?" yelled Genis.

Not only that he screamed like a desian gone on fire, but he noticed that he caught Jack and Celia's attention.

"Do you know who is that little kid, Jack?" asked Celia.

"Um… oh no," said Jack, in shock.

Genis looked embarrassed in front of their date.

"Okay, people! Break it up! Break it up!" said Bowser, trying to end the embarrassment.

"What was that all about?" wondered Celia.

"I don't know, but who cares!" answered Jack.

"Yeah, but just one question. Why do you and that kid have the same walkie talkies?" asked Celia.

Uh-oh. Jack looked nervous that Celia was suspicious about it.

"Look, Celia. This is not what you think!" said Jack.

Soon, Bowser and Genis knew that the plan is ruined.

"So you're telling me that you didn't enslave this ogre?"

"Yes!"

"And that you're not smart?"

"Yes!"

"And that you're trying to be like that kid who is actually the one who enslaved the ogre and is smart?"

"Yes… wait, no! He did not!"

But Celia ignored him and stared at Genis.

"Uh-oh," said Bowser and Genis.

"So, kid. What's your name?" asked Celia.

"Uh… Genis," said Genis, frighten.

"So, Genis. What you're trying to do is to use Jack to impress me in an anonymous way? You'd think I'd fall for that, did ya?"

"Yes, I did!" confessed Genis.

"But I have to say, you got me in your tricks."

When everybody was in relief that Genis was caught, they were relaxed until…

"I have to say, you're pretty cool."

"Wow! Really?" asked Genis.

"Not only that, but… I LOVE YOU, YOU SMART BOY!"

"What… I can't believe that?" said Bowser, puzzled.

"Wait, Celia! You're supposed to fall in love with me!" shouted Jack.

"You got it all wrong, Celia! Aaaaahh!" screamed Genis.

Too late. Celia is already hugging Genis on the floor.

"Please do something, Bowser and Jack!" cried Genis.

"Wow, Genis. You named your ogre Bowser? That's so cute!" complimented Celia.

"Celia! You got it all wrong! This is not supposed…"

Suddenly, Jack saw that she is rubbing her face on Genis's cheek.

"Aaaaaahh! Get her off! Get her off!" cried Genis.

"Do something, Bowser! She can't stop!" ordered Jack.

"Celia, you're not supposed to love him! You are supposed to be dating Jack!" said Bowser.

Still, Celia is holding her arms around Genis, tightly.

"Xbox, please stop all this!" screamed Genis.

Suddenly, Mario came in with the groceries.

"I'm-a back… MAMMA MIA! OHMYXBOXWHATISGOINGONHERE!" screamed Mario.

"Bad news, Mario! Celia has gone nuts!" shouted Bowser.

"Please do something, Mario!" cried Genis.

Suddenly, someone came in.

"Hey, Jack. Got any more souls… OHMYXBOXTHEREPERSONSGONEWILD!" screamed Nightmare.

"Oh, Xbox. What else can go wrong!" cried Bowser.

People are saying Xbox all the time meaning omg. (Oh my God!) You see, in this world, Xbox will mean god.

"But Celia, I love you!" said Jack.

"But why did you use this cute boy's characteristics?" asked Celia.

"Because I wanted to impress you and make you fall in love with me…"

"That's the whole point!" explained Celia.

"Wait… so that means this whole thing is a… fake?" asked Jack, confused.

"Look, Jack. The reason I did this is to make you be yourself!"

"Wait… really?"

"Yeah!" said Celia.

"Hold on… so you're telling me that you don't like me?" said Genis.

"Of course! I was doing this to teach Jack how to win others' hearts by being you," explained Celia.

"Wow! I almost thought you'd really fall in love with Genis!" said Bowser.

"See, Jack. You shouldn't really try to get a girlfriend by using someone's personality. If you do, then that someone will end up with the girlfriend."

"Wow, Celia. You have to hug someone to teach me this?"

"Yup!"

"Okay, I'm going to sleep," said Genis.

"Me, too!" said Bowser and Mario.

"Well, Jack. Since we're still awake, why don't we take a walk in the park or go to McHideo?"

"Okay!" said Jack, excited.

So they left for a burger. And that was the end of this horrifying date.

But I believe I'm forgetting someone…

"Hello? Anybody here? I need some more souls!"

"Shut-a up, Nightmare! Shut-a up!"

"Oops…"
