Chapter 3

Toad and Toadette were busy scrubbing the kitchen. Because of the incident it seemed like it would take all afternoon.
Toadette: I can't believe you sucked me into this!
Toad: Me? Your the one who took that break!
Toadette: Your the one who blew up the stew!
Toad: Hey! Pepper and gunpowder look the same to me!
Toadette: Ignorant little puke.
Toad: Dumb idiot.
Toadette: Let's get back to scrubbing. I want to be done before my show comes on.
Toad: That show is so retarded.
Toadette: It's cool to me.
Toad: Yeah too you.
Toadette: Quit talking and scrub!
Toad: Your not the boss of me!
Toadette: Whatever...
Toad: That's just like you to be nonchalant.
Toadette: I can be nonchalant if I want...
Toad: There you go again!
Toadette: So...
Toad: Ugh! I can't take it! Oh teh nonchalantness!
Toadette: You've been on the forums for far too long...
Toad: Shut up! I can be on the forums as long as I want!
Toadette: Calm down...
Toad: At least show some type of emotion! An ! mark! A ? mark! Anything!
Toadette: You want emotion! I'll you emotion! GET BACK TO WORK SO I CAN WATCH MY SHOW!
Toad: Yes ma'am.
Peach: What is with the yelling?
Toad: She started it!
Toadette: I did not!
Peach: I don't care who started it. Stop your arguing and finishing cleaning my kitchen.
Toad and Toadette: Yes ma'am.
Peach went into the garden.
Peach: Ahh. My petunias look absolutely lovely!
She went down to smell them and saw a shoe mark in her patch. It looked like the ones Mario and Luigi wore. She almost literally blew up.
Peach: MARIO! LUIGI! GET YOUR ASSES, YES I SAID ASSES, DOWN HERE!
Mario and Luigi rushed into the garden. They were obviously frightened. They had a good reason to be. Peach was so mad that Mario though steam was coming out of her ears.
Mario: Yes Peach?
Peach: WHICH ONE OF YOU STEPPED INTO MY PETUNIAS?
Luigi gulped. He knew while they were racing that he stepped into the flowers.
Peach: I'M WAITING FOR AN ANSWER!
Mario: It wasn't me I swear!
Peach: Luigi. Did you step in them?
Luigi: Well I um...
Peach: ANSWER ME PROPERLY! DID YOU STEP INTO MY PETUNIAS?
Luigi: Ok! I admit it! I stepped in them! I'm sorry!
Peach rolled up her sleeves.
Luigi: What are you doing?
Peach: Oh nothing.
She round-house kicked Luigi in his face and knocked him down.
Mario: Luigi!
Peach: No one messes with my garden.
Lukigi: Ouch.
Just then something feel from the sky into her flowers.
Peach: My flowers! Why me?
Luigi: Whoa! What was that?
Mario: I don't know.
Peach: Who cares! It destoryed my flowers!
They inspected the flowers. In the patch was a smoking, red, glowing rock.
Peach: It's beautiful!
Luigi: It's wierd.
Mario: Were did it come from?
Toad and Toadette rushed into the garden.
Toad and Toadette: What happened? I heard a crash!
Peach: (holding up the rock) The prettiest stone fell from the sky.
Toad: Fell from the sky? Cool.
Luigi: I think it's pretty suspicious.
Toadette: I'm with him.
Peach: Well I like it. I'm going to keep it.
She went back into the castle. Mario and Toad followed her.
Luigi: I'm getting some bad vibes from that thing.
Toadette: Me too. What happened to your face? It's all red.
Luigi: Please don't ask.
Toadette: That stone looks so familiar. I just can't put my finger on it though.
Luigi: How so?
Toadette: I thought I saw that stone before. But were...
Luigi: Oh well. Don't you have a kitchen to clean?
Toadette: I'm just taking a little break.
Luigi: Mmm hmm. Your gonna make Toad do all the work aren't you?
Toadette: Got that right.
Luigi: That's evil.
Toadette: Calm down I'm going. Can you help me please?
Luigi: I guess.
He followed her into the kitchen.
Toad: Where were you! I was getting tired.
Toadette: I was coming!
Toad: Sure. I bet you was going to leave all the work to me!
Toadette: I should! This is your fault!
Toad: Why I outta...
Luigi: Guys! Can we just get this over with!
Toad: Your helping us?
Luigi: Yeah.
Toad: Alright!
He tossed Luigi a mop.
Toad: Start mopping over there.
Luigi: Sure thing boss.
Toadette: Thanks for your help Weegi.
Luigi: It's Luigi.
Toadette: I know.
Luigi: Hey Toad. How did you blow up our lunch?
Toad: Well it all started when...
Luigi: Nevermind. I don't want to here and entire story. Afraid you'll put me to sleep.
Toad: Hey!
Toadette: Good one! Wait. Afraid? Afraid...
Luigi: Are you ok?
She dashed out the kitchen.
Luigi: Hey! Were are you going?
He went after her.
Toad: Don't leave me alone!
Luigi followed Toadette in to her room. When he got there, she was flipping through pages in her phobia book.
Toadette: Ah ha! I knew that stone was familiar!
Luigi: What?
Toadette: It is a... I can't pronounce it! But in English it means "Jewel of Fear".
Luigi: Jewel of Fear? Why? Where did it come from?
Toadette: From space. It chipped off an astroid, called the Timeo, that orbits the planet every 100 years. Timeo is fear in latin.
Luigi: Oh. Shouldn't it of been bigger? Something that small should of burnt up in the atmosphere.
Toadette: It was larger. Only that small piece survived.
Luigi: So it's a space age rock. Is it worth anything?
Toadette: Yeah. It goes up every year by a $500. It's worth $1,500,500.
Luigi: Whoa! That's alot of money!
Toadette: Yeah. I never finished reading the discription though.
Luigi: We don't have time. We have to finish cleaning the kitchen.
Toadette: Your right. I can not afford to miss this week's show.
Luigi: That is show is so los la treke.
Toadette: What?
Luigi: It means retarded. Duh.
Toadette: Shut up!
