Delfino Plaza was sunny once again as various Waddlewings were flying in the sky, with Dry Bowser and Petey Piranha standing on the shine gate, looking up to see how bright the blue sky was.
"Things are definitely looking sunny." Dry Bowser commented as he folded his skeletal arms together. "Looks like nothing can ruin this day."
Petey nodded in agreement as he stretched his leaves about, rubbing the back of his head as he squinted to the right, seeing a strange dark cloud coming from the east.
"Huh? What's that, Petey?" Dry Bowser asked as he turned around, also squinting to see the 'dark cloud'. "Wait a moment... those are hornets!"
Indeed, an angry group of hornets were coming to Delfino Plaza, zipping down to the city and attacking the Pianta vendors and visiting Miis, sending the city to a panic, with the Nokis retreating into their shells as Dry Bowser and Petey looked at each other, wondering what to do of the stingy situation.
"Hmmm..." Toadsworth commented as he looked at the dark, muddy water, seeing the fading, brown colored lily pad as he rubbed his chin. "How did Master Mario manage to conquer this?"
"Who cares? I'm gonna try it out!" Toad exclaimed as he dashed towards the lily pad with a different, red colored F.L.U.D.D. as he missed the lily pad, falling right into the water and dying instantly.
Toadsworth winced as Toad screamed in pain, reappearing on the platform as he shook his head.
"Ugh, I can't believe I just lost a life!" Toad growled as he stomped his right foot a few times. "No matter, I can do it again, properly this time!" He then hovered in the air, being sure to land on the lily pad as he made it, posing as he then returned the F.L.U.D.D. to normal mode as he squirted backwards, accidentally squirting Toadsworth.
"Oh no!" Toadsworth exclaimed as he shook about, trying to get the water off of him as Toad laughed, only for the lily pad to melt as Toad fell into the water again, groaning as he lost another life.
