The next day, Luigi was busy cooking a five-course meal for his brother to repay him for the sock-in-the-soup incident, when he happened to look out the window and see a purple shy-guy walking down the street. It must have been the same shy-guy, because it was wearing the same yellow, polka-dotted party hat, and had another heaping plate of spaghetti (with meatballs), balanced precariously on top. The spaghetti must have been fresh, because it was still steaming.

"Hm, I wonder where that shy-guy is going?" Luigi wondered. He stopped stirring the pot of Super Mushroom stew for a moment to watch the shy-guy walk down the street.

A whip cracked behind him, "Hurry up with that food!" Mario barked from the table.

Stirring furiously, Luigi grumbled, "Okay, okay. Sheesh, stick your sock in one bowl of soup…"

The whip cracked again, "Stop grumbling, and start cooking!"


Hm... this chapter has exactly the same number of words as the last chapter...
