Chapter 8: Dinner Desisting

Prika then opens the Mario Brothers' House door while saying, "I'm home."

Pepperoni then pounced on Prika to lick her while Luigi was on the couch and Mario was in the kitchen to cook.

Luigi turned to where Prika was and said, "Ah, Prika. Welcome home."

"Welcome home, my little Pasta e Fagiol. Dinner will be ready soon. How was school?" said Mario.

"It was great. I even solved my 1st case," she responds while Pepperoni gets off of her.

"Great work, Prika."

"Yeah, well done, little niece," said Luigi.

"We found out where all of the missing ice creams of the school were, but we should give the culprit some mercy since they have a good reason to."

"Culprit?"

Just then, Luigi's phone rings while he says, "Hold on. I need to take this call."

When he answered, he said, "Hello? Hey, Bro. This call is for the both of us."

"Okay," said Mario.

"I'll be at my room doing my homework. Come on, Pepperoni," said Prika, going to her room with Pepperoni following her.

Luigi came close to Mario to put their ears on Luigi's phone while Mario answered, "Hello, Blue and Yellow. Yes, Prika told me she did her 1st case. How cute."

As they continued to listen, Luigi said, "Wait, what? She solved a real mystery?!"

"You kept an eye on her and her friends? Oh, good."

"Oh, wow. I can't believe that lunch lady did that."

"Well, we solved mysteries during childhood and teenhood."

"At least they didn't get hurt. Thanks for the info, Toad Twins. Goodbye."

When Luigi hangs up, Mario says, "I guess my senses and Daisy's suspicion was correct. I'm both proud and worried about this."

"Mario, it's okay. She's got her powers and her smarts to look out for herself. Peach was right about you being overreacting," Luigi responds.

"Okay, fine."

At Rosalina's house, Rosalina, Baby Luma, Polari, and Lubba are in a room with a great mirror with Mama Luma and Rosalina's family in it. It's used as a video call.

"You won't believe it, Mama. I unlocked my Luma powers. I can restore anything that is erased or destroyed," said Baby Luma.

"That's wonderful, my child. And good job on solving your 1st case," said Mama Luma.

"Thank you, Mama."

"The Mushroom Kingdom is doing great with the Mario Brothers protect it," said Rosalina.

"That's good to hear, dear. And how's your new job coming along," said Rosalina's mother.

"Very good. I'm a great help to the facility."

"It's nice to do visits to the Star Realm every weekend," said Lubba.

"And all of the items you bring, sis, are very cool. Things changed back at home," said Rosalina's brother.

"The Star Realm is even flourishing thanks to the gardening tips you've given to us," said Rosalina's father.

"That's good to know, sire," said Polari.

Just then, a Hungry Luma arrives and says, "Pardon for my interruption, but I liked to inform you that dinner is ready."

"Alright. We'll be right there. Have a good night, everyone. We love you," said Rosalina.

"Good night and love you too," said her family and Mama Luma before the call ended.

"Oh, boy. Time to eat," said Lubba, leading the way.

Once they get out of the room, the lights are turned off before the scene towards the sky to reveal twinkling stars with the moon shining bright. THE END
