Toad's Diary, Week 3
Week 3, Day 1:Sigh…no one's babysitting. Then again, Mario and Luigi decided to take the babies to Baby Park today. I hope Baby Mario doesn't throw up on the Tilt-a-Thwomp or the Paratroopa Gliders again.
Of course, I'm doing attendant duty today. Peach decided to play tennis, so I had to play against her. I'm poor at tennis (but much better at badminton), so I lost game, set, and match. Twice. Edithbourne played her twice after I did, and he won one of the matches.
Peach also decided to visit Yoshi (instead of Yoshi visiting her), so we drove back home. Yoshi was ecstatic, if a little surprised. He managed to stammer out a too-polite greeting. Peach was flattered, but she took it in stride.
Yoshi made a huge omelette for us using his very own eggs. I felt like I had to contribute, so I took a salmon fillet out of my freezer and cooked it. Soon enough, Peach was cooking too, as she cooked Mario's favourite spaghetti. We all had a good lunch, and we refrigerated leftovers for Mario, Luigi, and the babies.
After we came back to the castle, we went to its library to read. And guess whom I bumped into while we were there. Toadsworth and Acamis! For some reason, they were both reading some very large and complex tome in there. I asked Acamis why he was with Toadsworth, and he said it was because they both needed to find something in it. Unfortunately, from what I heard from him, they were arguing for a while before we came. I'm glad I didn't hear that argument!
After a long while in the library, I had to go home. When I arrived home, Mario looked battered, dirty, and exhausted. I asked him why, and he said it was because he went to Boo's Haunted House a few too many times, got bludgeoned on the Nimbus Thunder Coaster, and got thrown up on by Baby Mario. Apparently, Baby Mario threw up on Mario when they were riding the Cheep Cheep Flume. At least that's a different ride. I just hope they don't go to Baby Park (unless they have to race at its Grand Prix Oval) again for a long while.
Week 3, Day 2:Waluigi and Wario invited us all to their dance party at 1:00 PM. We all had to go, even though Yoshi is pretty clumsy at dancing and my legs are too short to show off my dance moves.
The Wario Bros. told us that they were going to play "Destruction Dance", "Garden Boogie", "Cabin Fever", "Starring Wario!", "Jump! Jump! Jump!", and "Pirate Dance". And they told us that they were taking out the Bob-ombs again. I hate those Bob-ombs a lot, as they always mess up my dancing, but Mario and Luigi didn't seem affected for some reason.
As usual, Mario and Luigi danced like superstars. Yoshi and I tried as best as we could, but Yoshi still kept on stepping on everyone but the Mario Bros.'s toes and I nearly tripped on the stairs. It turned out to be pretty funny, as Yoshi kept on stepping on Wario's and Waluigi's toes, thus messing up their dance moves. As for the babies (Mario was supposed to baby-sit them today), they danced even worse than Yoshi. They kept on tipping over and falling down, especially when the Bob-ombs came. Boy, was I glad when the whole thing was over!
From what I could tell from the babies, they didn't like the dance fest a whole lot. Yoshi agreed with the babies, but Mario and Luigi liked it. I wonder why…
After the dance party, I visited my family again. And guess what happened? You can guess. It's been the same reaction fifteen weeks in a row, so I won't bother writing.
Week 3, Day 3:Luigi is babysitting today. And we're all invited to the races in Baby Park, so we all are going to the Grand Prix Oval!
Luigi went with Baby Luigi (he actually was trying to baby-sit), Mario went with Peach, and Daisy went with Baby Mario, so I got stuck with Yoshi. Well, maybe stuck isn't the right word, as I go along pretty well with him.
Of course, it was a madhouse in the oval. Shells were flying everywhere, and even my Golden Mushrooms couldn't help the situation, as we kept on getting hit. At least we got third place. Mario got fourth and Daisy got fifth, from what I heard, but Luigi actually got first. Apparently, he just sat in the back, strategically using items, while he let Baby Luigi drive. I don't know how good Baby Luigi drove, but he sure must have made Daddy proud!
Week 3, Day 4:Peach is babysitting today, as usual. For some reason, the babies wanted to go to the palace swimming pool, or so I heard when she came to my house for the evening. Anyway, Peach and the babies went to the swimming pool, which was occupied by a few Toads, Yoshis, Koopa Troopas, and the Lakitu lifeguard. Suddenly, or at least that's what Peach described, they saw something come out of the water. They were frightened out of their wits and jumped out of the pool. It turned out to be pretty funny, as it was a Cheep Cheep pool maintainer that jumped out of the pool. He had to apologize and say that he was fixing the pool.
Then, Peach decided to come here for the evening to meet Mario and company. She said that she hadn't met them in person for a fairly long time, which isn't entirely true, as she was with us in the races yesterday. She also said that she was thinking of going on vacation again, and just when the babies would be in school. Vacations are always a sign of a bad thing…
Week 3, Day 5:Wario's invited Mario to golf—again. Those two really seem to like their golfing rivalry. Then again, they seem to like their tennis, racing, dancing, and partying ones, too.
Daisy is babysitting, so that golfing event doesn't affect the babies. However, Daisy's decided to go racing again (and so soon after the last one!). She, at least, has some sense about selecting her racing partner, so she went with Baby Luigi. Since Mario was out (and I had decided on going with him), I decided to go with the first guy someone paired me up with. That eventually happened to be Toadette.
I had a pretty good time with Toadette, who I first met when my family visited their friends some weeks earlier. Therefore, she's more of a family friend's daughter, but I still like her anyway.
Anyway, we got second place, as Daisy and Baby Luigi consistently managed to get ahead of us during the whole Special Cup. Then again, Toadette must have had some practice, as she drove better than expected when I used the items.
After the Grand Prix, I got a surprise versus race against Donkey Kong and Birdo. Apparently, they practiced too, and they wanted to test their skills against the driving ace. (That apparently meant me. Sheesh, am I that good?) From what I heard, they won one versus race each against Daisy and Baby Luigi and against Koopa Troopa and Diddy Kong. And those two opponents forced me to do the driving throughout. Though Toadette was a bit aggravated, I had to follow the race on their terms. We eventually won, even though I had to pass all my items to Toadette.
Boy, was that a long racing day! Hopefully, I won't have to race tomorrow, especially since I'm babysitting.
Week 3, Day 6:I'm babysitting again. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi wanted to play with their Chain Chomps and they told me to leave them all alone, for fear that I'd get injured.
That turned out to be a wise decision, as Baby Luigi came back with one big horror story. Apparently, his Chain Chomp (Chompy) went berserk when it saw a rabbit. Baby Luigi tried to keep it from eating the rabbit, but Chompy just went for the rabbit. The rabbit escaped, but Chompy crashed into a tree and felled it. Luckily, the tree barely missed Baby Luigi. Baby Mario didn't have as bad a time with Chainer, though.
Week 3, Day 7:Yoshi was babysitting today. For some reason, he decided to give them a lesson on cooking Lavalava Archipelago dishes. He laid an egg, and then cracked it in order to make a Male Yoshi Egg Omelette. Then he got some traditional fruits such as Commarons and Uckyfruit and made a dish out of those. Apparently, the babies liked those two dishes.
Then the disaster came when he let the babies cook their own versions. Apparently, they burnt the omelette, and then they mutilated the fruits so badly that they were unrecognizable. They totally ruined those dishes. Poor Yoshi was forced to eat the badly done dishes. I think Yoshi learned a good lesson today, though. Never let the babies cook anything!
Sigh…it's going to be the babies' first day of school next week. I'm going to see them a lot less often…
