Chapter 2: Make me sexy
Yoshi turned up at the Pipe House all ready for Peach's ball in honour of Toad and Toadette's engagement. Banging on the door, he waited cheerfully for either Mario or Luigi to answer it. As Yoshi waited he could hear some noise coming from behind the door. First there was a crash, followed by a muffled cry and topped off with a few words to turn the air blue. Worry swept through Yoshi for only a brief moment as he assumed something was wrong inside the house. When Mario finally answered the door, Yoshi sighed at the relief of not having to rescue Mario or Luigi in any way. Mario himself, looked flustered. He had abandoned his red and blue plumbing attire and had now changed into a tuxedo, apparently at Peach's request. Yoshi couldn't find a Yoshi shaped tuxedo and just went for the minimalist approach of one red bow.
'You look flustered Mario or have you been self tanning?' Grinned Yoshi. Mario looked mutinous.
'Oh he's not been self-tanning, he just fell over. Trousers are too long' Came a voice above them. Mario and Yoshi looked up to find Lakitu hovering above them. Yoshi jumped in surprise. Mario just shrugged.
'He forgot where Peach's castle is' Lakitu grinned sheepishly at them. Yoshi feeling daring asked Mario why his trousers were too long.
'They're a pair of Luigi's spare ones, my last pair got burnt last time I faced Bowser' Said Mario shaking his head. Yoshi and Lakitu laughed. Then something occurred the Yoshi.
'Which reminds me, where is Luigi?' he asked. Mario rolled his eyes and pointed up stairs.
'Luigi are you ready yet?' Shouted Mario up the stairs.
'NO! I am not going!' Came the reply.
'Yes you are!' Mario shouted back.
Luigi didn't reply to Mario straight away and when he did, he would come to regret it.
'Or what!' Came his reply. Mario turned to face Lakitu and Yoshi, flashing them a sly grin. Up the stairs he ran. There were a few shouts and yells coming from up the stairs. Before either Yoshi or Lakitu could ask what was going on, Mario came running down the stairs carrying a struggling Luigi. Out the door he ran, leaving both his friends in his wake. Yoshi and Lakitu sped off after them towards the warp pipe that led to Peach's castle. The moment they arrived they came face to face with Mario trying to push his annoyed brother down the pipe. It took a few hard worked moments but Mario finally managed it. Mario, Yoshi and Lakitu quickly followed Luigi's trail.
The four friends stood outside Peach's castle. Only Luigi didn't look very excited. He let out a big sign and followed the others up to the front entrance. As they walked through towards the main hall, Peach came running over to greet them. Smiling broadly she hugged each one of them tightly, when she came to hug Luigi, she whispered in his ear.
'I know you don't like parties so I'm very grateful that you came'
Luigi smiled and nodded. Peach turned round and led them into the ballroom. Everyone had turned out in force. Toad and Toadette were being paraded round by Daisy, meeting all the guests here for their celebration. Toadette was really enjoying herself, being the centre of attention for once. The music was in full swing and in no time flat Peach had dragged Mario off to dance. Pink Yoshi accompanied Yoshi and they were also doing some form of dance, which resembled a cross between the locomotion and the funky chicken. They were the only couple to have the most space on the dance floor.
Soon it was just Luigi and Lakitu standing by the wall, watching as people paired up and started to dance. A few moments later Daisy started to ascend upon them. Lakitu looked at her and then at Luigi. Not wanting to be a gooseberry he decided to make his excuses and evacuate.
Feeling himself go hot under the collar, Luigi gulped with nerves. His breathing started to become heavy and his knee's became weak. Over she walked, with her hips swaying. She had a delicate smile playing across her lips, Luigi tried to smile back, but he failed.
'Hello Luigi' She said softly.
'H-Hi Daisy' He stuttered.
'Glad to see you made it' He nodded in reply. She smiled even more broadly.
Feeling slightly nervous Luigi started to fiddle with his bow tie. Daisy rolled her eyes and straightened it out for him. The close contact between them made Luigi blush furiously. Offering his hand out shakily, Luigi led the woman of his dreams to the dance floor. Peach and Mario who were watching closely smiling knowingly to each other and then carried on dancing.
Back at the hut, Wario was getting increasingly impatient with his brother as he took his time in getting to the point. Waluigi was busy rummaging through his bag, muttering a few obscenities along the way. Watching Waluigi throwing clothes and coins out of his bag, Wario sighed inwardly. Only Waluigi could turn a hut with little furniture into what looked like a war zone. Wario was close to dropping asleep, all this waiting about made him drowsy. Leaning his head on the arm of his chair he settled down for a nap. Waluigi could wake him when he found what ever it was he was looking for.
'EUREKA!' Waluigi cried as he jumped up and started to dance about. Wario awoke with a start. Raising an eyebrow at his brother he said nothing. Waluigi saw the bewildered expression on his face and smiled slyly.
'Sorry, I always wanted to say that. But look at this!' He said pointing at a rust old lamp. Wario laughed sceptically.
'Oh so that's your plan? You're going to get a woman into bed by giving her some gravy!' Wario dissolved into fits of laughter at the thought of his brother wooing some beauty with some gravy.
'No you dolt! its not a gravy train' Hissed Waluigi. Wario sat up and took note of his brother.
'It's the magic lamp from that idiotic party Mario once had! I stole it when Peach was crowned the 'party star'' Waluigi said as matter of factly. An evil smirk crept across Wario's face.
'So you're going to wish for someone's hand in marriage?' He asked. Waluigi slapped his forehead in annoyance.
'You really are a plank Wario! You can't force someone to love you, it defies nature!' Waluigi snapped.
'And?' Wario asked not grasping the point.
'You-can-not-mess-with-some-ones-free-will-you-moron-otherwise-Bowser-would-have-done-that-instead-of-kidnapping-Peach-duh!' Waluigi managed to get out waspishly in one single breath.
'Then Mr Mighty O'Clever One what are you going to do' Asked Wario keeping his cool.
'I shall woo Daisy with my boyish good looks and charm' Waluigi said grinning creepily. Wario snorted, he doubted whether Waluigi ever had charm in his life. As if reading Wario's mind, Waluigi pulled another object out of the bag.
'Behold, Kamek Koopa's wand'
Wario was speechless, not only had his idiot brother managed to swipe the magic lamp but also Kamek's wand. Before Wario could ask how and when he obtained the wand, Waluigi started to rub the lamp. With a wisp of blue clouds the Genie came out looking tired and worn.
'Is it Party time again?' He asked dreamily.
'No you idiot, grant me a wish!' Shouted Waluigi, dancing around like a monkey on heat. The big giant genie peered down at Waluigi and gave out a booming laugh that shook the hut.
'And why should I grant you a wish?' The Genie snorted. Wario watched as his brother gave a twisted bitter smile and stepped up close to the Genie. Obviously the Genie had forgotten how persuasive Waluigi could be, or maybe the Genie didn't actually care. The Genie had a big smile across his face, which made Waluigi more annoyed. He pulled out the magic wand and held it up to the Genie.
'If you don't grant me a wish then...poof... You're pixie dust, or should I say Genie dust? Waluigi had delivered the killer blow. The Genie went from a broad smile and colourful to deadly pale and worried. Wario sat up straight and watched his brother now with even more interest. He had no idea Waluigi could be so vindictive. He liked this side to him. The Genie sighed and resigned to granting Waluigi his wish.
'I wish for you to make me sexy!' Waluigi shouted proudly. Wario tried his hardest not to laugh and let out a snort of amusement. The Genie was also having trouble with this wish. He looked like he was hesitating for a second but thought twice about stopping when Waluigi waved the wand at him. The Genie mumbled some magic words and then POOF the wish was granted. Waluigi was engulfed in a big black cloud, Wario jumped up off his seat in surprise.
'Waluigi...?' Wario asked timidly. As if actually showing emotion and fearing for his brother.
A figure stepped out from amongst the cloud. The Genie hid behind the chair in which previously occupied Wario. He stuck to peering out from over the top, shaking with fear. The figure lifted his arms up slightly and gazed upon them, as if he hadn't laid eyes on them before. He then moved towards a cracked mirror upon the wall.
'Waluigi...is that..you?' Asked a shaken Wario.
The figure let out a shrill cry of happiness and turned round to face Wario. He nodded at Wario and then grinned a dashing smile. Wario had to blink to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Gone was the gangly proportioned body of Waluigi and now an adequately proportioned body stood in its place. The big crooked nose was now a small cute little nose and his eyes, oh his eyes. They were deep and meaningful. Further down, it looked like Waluigi had actually been working out, he was bulky but in a handsome way. Waluigi saw Wario's face of shock and smirked.
'You like?' He asked. Wario didn't reply, he was too stunned to say anything. Shrugging Waluigi then turned to the Genie who was cowering behind the chair and summoned him over. The Genie slowly obliged and asked his newfound master what his next desire was. Waluigi wished for a new wardrobe, he couldn't go in his normal clothes, it was too obvious that it was he.
After getting changed into his new attire, which in this case was a purple tuxedo Waluigi walked towards the door. Wario stopped him and asked him where he was going. Waluigi turned round, smiled and patted his brother on the head.
'I'm going to Peach's party! Daisy awaits me!' He grinned before running out the hut. Wario watched him run into the distance. All of the sudden the far away Waluigi was seen jumping up in the air and was heard to cry...
'I'm SEXY'
