Hey Guys, we're now in the third leg of the race. I'm excited for what's in store for this episode, and I hope you guys enjoy it just as much as I do when writing it. Also, this episode is going to be a parody of a certain season 6 episode of the real American version of the Amazing Race, for the most part that is. I'll tell you more about it at the end of this episode. Will this be a 2-part or 3-part episode? I don't know. I guess I'll just have to find out for myself as I keep writing. In the mean time, enjoy.
p.s. I accidentally forgot to add "pika" at the end of every one of Pikachu's sentences in the last chapter, so in case any of y'all have noticed that, I'm trying to figure out how to get that fixed.
Ep. 3 He's going to attract more ladies than he ever used to. –Mario
Previously on the Amazing Race: Video Game Edition, ten teams set out from DK's Jungle to Luigi's Mansion. At the Green Pipe station, Daisy got upset at Bowser Jr.
"Why you little, I'm gonna kill him!" Daisy screamed.
And he and Bowser immediately became targets,
"It's now thanks to you that the other teams dislike us even more!" said Bowser.
But Bowser & Bowser Jr. were given a mulligan when all of the teams had to wait a bit longer for the mansion to open.
"Looks like this place is closed," said Lucario looking at the sign on the gate.
Bowser laughed. "With all the teams gathered around here, we're sure to beat them."
Taking advantage of this, they surpassed all tasks with ease, including a footrace, to win the second leg of the race.
"Oh man, he's already beat us," said a defeated Ness.
"Bowser & Bowser Jr," said Toad, "you're team number 1."
"YEEESSSSS!" Bowser & Bowser Jr. cheered.
At the roadblock, Krystal accidentally volunteered,
"Who's got ghost phobia? Me," said Krystal as she wasn't even thinking.
And due to her fear of ghosts, she ended up suffering a major breakdown,
"Krystal, get a hold of yourself!" said Fox.
"I can't do this Fox! The ghosts keep flying over me, and it's too hard! I just can't do this!"
Meanwhile, Jigglypuff, who was struggling with the task, tried to sing the ghosts to sleep,
"Jiiiigglyypuuuuff, Jigglyyyypuuuuff."
But her singing only affected Link, Luigi, and Pikachu.
"Jigglypuff?" said Lucario. "Why are Pikachu, Link, and Luigi all sleeping in the middle of the floor?"
"Huh?" said Jigglypuff, a bit confused, but then she saw what he was talking about. "Oh, no!"
Lucario, however, helped Jigglypuff how to do the task
"Here, why don't I help you with that," said Lucario, talking about her ghost vacuum.
"Oh, would you please!?" said Jigglypuff.
And later helped Krystal face her fear.
"You have to be more aggressive towards them. This way, they won't play around with your fears."
"All right, I will," said Krystal feeling much better.
But his acts of chivalry caused him and Pokémon Trainer to fall behind, which left Pokémon Trainer frustrated.
"ARE YOU FREAKING STUPID?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" P.T. yelled.
"I- I'm deeply sorry Master," said Lucario.
But In the end, it was Marth & Ike that fell short.
"Marth & Ike, I'm sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated from the race," said Toad.
"We figured," said Ike.
Nine teams remain, who will be eliminated next?
…
The scene showed Boo Woods and its creepy and eerie mysteries.
"This is Boo Woods," said Toad, "a dreadful and creepy forest that consists of wandering ghosts, dead trees, and even trees that move. It is also near Luigi's Mansion, a haunted mansion that was once owned by Luigi himself- at least that's what we thought. In the midst of Boo Woods is a tent camping area, which served as the second pit-stop in a race around the video game universe."
Teams were then seen sitting around the campfire talking to each other while eating eggs and bacon for breakfast.
"At the pit-stop, teams were given the opportunity to eat, sleep, and mingle with the other teams. Will Bowser & Bowser Jr. be able to stay in the front of the pack despite their quarreling and their rivalries with the other teams, and will Fox & Krystal be able to catch up to the other teams despite their little ghost mishap in the last leg. Bowser & Bowser Jr., who were the first team to arrive at 6:03 am, will depart first at 6:03 pm."
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: 1st to depart, 6:03 pm
Bowser Jr. ripped open their clue and read it out loud. "Make your way to the kingdom of Hyrule."
…
"Teams must now head to the space station and then travel by space ship to the kingdom of Hyrule," said Toad. "There are only going to be two flights available. The first flight, departing at 9:30 pm, will only carry four teams, while the second flight, departing at 9:45 pm, will carry five teams. What teams do not know, is that the first flight will be arriving thirty minutes after the second flight due to it having a longer layover, so teams are going to have to choose wisely, because once they've bought their tickets, they cannot give them back."
…
"Alright son, let's go," said Bowser as they departed.
"Dad, where are you going? We have to go on this trail," said Bowser Jr. pointing in the other direction.
"What? I thought we had to go back the way we came."
"What? No way. It'll take way too long if we do that. This way leads us out of the woods quicker."
"Oh, err- well, whatever," said Bowser.
CONFESSIONAL:
BOWSER & BOWSER Jr.: Father/Son
"I'm very proud of the way we ran the last leg," said Bowser. "By going from tenth place to first place, I now feel more confident than ever that my son and I are gonna win this race."
"I'm extremely happy with the win that Dad and I got in the last leg," said Bowser Jr., "but as evil and ruthless I may be, I acknowledge the fact that we were just lucky in the last leg. What matters most to me right now is that Dad and I need to work on our teamwork and our relationship with each other, because now that a lot of the teams are gunning for us, we're gonna have to learn to keep our cool and stay focused."
END:
"We gotta make sure we get on that first flight and stay ahead of the other teams," said Bowser Jr. as he and Bowser were running through the woods.
"I know that, Jr.!" Bowser growled.
"I'm just saying, Dad."
NESS & LUCAS and PEACH & DAISY: 2nd and 3rd teams to depart, 6:04 pm
Ness and Daisy ripped open the clues for their teams and read them out loud.
"To get to Hyrule, you must make your way to the space station, and charter a flight," said Ness.
"There are only going to be two flights available once you get there," said Daisy
"All right, we're out of here," said Peach.
"Yeah, let's go, Lucas," Ness added.
"Right behind you," said Lucas.
Both teams went in the same direction Bowser & Bowser Jr. were heading. Both teams ran as they tried to catch up to Bowser & Bowser Jr.
"I hope Bowser & Bowser Jr. get eliminated in this leg," said Daisy.
"Yeah, well with their first place win in the last leg, that's not gonna be easy," said Ness.
"Well, anything can happen in this race," said Lucas.
"And don't forget," said Peach, "this race IS going to be full of many unexpected surprises."
"Yeah," said Lucas, "I guess we're gonna have to expect the unexpected from now on, huh."
CONFESSIONAL:
PEACH & DAISY: Best Friends/Princesses
"I'm still a bit steamed at Bowser & Bowser Jr. for what they said to me in the last leg," said Daisy, "and now I'm just ready to see them go."
"We understand completely about the numerous amounts of times that those guys have kidnapped us in the past," said Peach, "but we're not gonna let that discourage us. We're going to continue doing what we have to do to win this race."
NESS & LUCAS: Best Friends
"Bowser & Bowser Jr. are not forces to be reckoned with," said Ness, "we've learned that in the last leg. Those two cannot be underestimated. If the other teams get the chance to pull them out of the race, they're gonna have to be smart, and just do it."
"Yeah, I agree," said Lucas
END:
Meanwhile, Bowser & Bowser Jr. had made it to the other end of the trail, and were then on the street searching for a taxi.
"Taxi!" Bowser yelled out at the passing cars.
"TAXI!" Bowser Jr. yelled even louder.
"Man, where's a taxi when you need one," said Bowser. Finally, a taxi driver heard them, and pulled over for them. Bowser went over to the window of the car.
"Take us to the Mushroom Kingdom Space Station, and get us there fast!" said Bowser.
"Oki doki, no problem," said the taxi driver.
"You better not get us lost," Bowser Jr. threatened as he got into the taxi.
A minute later, Peach & Daisy and Ness & Lucas were the next two teams out of the woods and called out for taxis as well.
"Taxi, taxi over here!" Peach called out.
"Hey!" cried Lucas, "We need a taxi now!"
A moment later, another taxi came up to Ness & Lucas.
"Aw, Man!" Daisy complained.
"Sir, we need to get to the nearest space station as fast as possible. Do you know where it is?" Ness asked.
"Yes sir, I know where it is."
"Alright, come on Lucas, let's get in."
"Sure thing," said Lucas.
Ness & Lucas were then on their way to the space station while Peach & Daisy were still struggling to get a taxi of their own.
"Come on, where's a taxi when you need one?" said Peach.
MARIO & LUIGI and SAMUS & PIKACHU: 4th and 5th to depart, 6:41 pm
Luigi and Pikachu were the ones to rip open the clues for their teams and read them.
"Seats on these-a two flights are limited, so it's-a first come first served," said Luigi.
"You have a hundred and fifty dollars for this leg of the race, pika," said Pikachu.
"Alright-a, Hyrule Kingdom here we come," said Mario.
"Come on Pikachu, we have to go this way," said Samus pointing to the trail that the other three teams went into.
CONFESSIONAL:
SAMUS & PIKACHU: Best Friends
"I believe Pikachu and I have been working very well together," said Samus. "We both try not to be the leader, and we just do what we have to do to win, and we just go with it."
"I'm very glad that I have Samus as my partner," said Pikachu, "we both help, and rely upon each other, and we don't worry too much about the other teams, pika."
END:
"We have to make sure we get on the-a first flight, because there are only gonna be five-a seats on it, and we're leaving in fifth-a place," said Luigi.
"I think-a we can make it. The worst that could happen is that we miss-a both flights," said Mario.
CONFESSIONAL:
MARIO & LUIGI: Brothers/Plumbers
"I'm-a very proud of Luigi for being able to relive the nightmares that he had to go through in Luigi's Mansion," said Mario, "that just-a shows how much of a good partner Luigi is, because he will not stop at anything to stay in this race, he-a wants us to win."
END:
...
"In the last leg, Kirby & Jigglypuff arrived at the mat in 4th place," said Toad, "however; Jigglypuff had accidentally put Link, Luigi, and Pikachu to sleep when she sang her song at the Roadblock. With the help of Lucario, she was able to wake them back up, but since Jigglypuff had put them at a disadvantage, she and Kirby have been given a 30 minute penalty, so they will now be leaving in 6th place as a result.
…
KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: 6th to depart, 6:48 pm
Kirby ripped open their clue and read it out loud.
"Hurry, seats are limited, so it's first come first served."
"Alright, let's get out of here," said Jigglypuff.
CONFESSIONAL:
KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: Dating Long Distance
"I'm a bit upset about the fact that we have to be leaving in 6th place instead of 4th place, especially for something that only Jigglypuff did," said Kirby. "I had a feeling that her singing would affect us in some way, but I guess when you're having to run this race with a partner, you each have to take full responsibility for each other's actions."
"I feel upset that I didn't have the common sense to keep my singing mouth shut in the last leg," said Jigglypuff, "so now Kirby and I had to pay the price by having to fall further behind. For as long as Kirby and I are still in this race; I shall never sing my little song ever again."
END:
"I can't believe we're going to Hyrule, Kirby," said Jigglypuff. "You know how I've always wanted to go there; you know?"
"Yeah, I know, I've always wanted to go there too, but let's make sure we catch up the other teams, alright?" said Kirby.
"Yeah, you're right."
Samus & Pikachu and Mario & Luigi were the next two teams to get out of Boo Woods while Peach & Daisy were still struggling to get a taxi.
"Hey, come on!" Peach yelled out to the cars passing by. "I'm the princess of Mushroom Kingdom for crying out loud, and no one is willing to give me and Daisy a taxi?!"
"Luigi, we have the help them, they're the-a loves of our lives," said Mario.
"Oki doki, Mario." Luigi then suddenly went into the middle of the road to stop all of the oncoming cars.
"WAIT-A, LUIGI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Mario cried out.
"Luigi, no!" Daisy cried out as well.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
Suddenly, all of the cars frantically came to a stop trying not to hit the little green plumber.
"HEY!" a masculine koopa yelled out from his window. "WHAT ARE YA TRYING TO PULL, BUSTER!?"
"These-a two princesses over here need a taxi, if I may kindly ask of any one of you!" yelled Luigi.
"Oh. My apologies," said the koopa, who was actually a taxi driver himself. He then pulled over next to Peach & Daisy as Luigi got out of the road, and let all the cars pass.
"Thank you, sir," said Peach to the taxi driver. "Could you take us to the Mushroom Kingdom Space Station, please?"
"Of course your highness, I shall gladly do so."
"Oh, Luigi, what a crazy thing for you to do," said Daisy as she kissed Luigi on the cheek.
"The pleasure is mine," said Luigi.
"Please, come with us," said Peach wanting to repay the favor.
"Gee, thanks a lot," said Mario.
Peach & Daisy and Mario & Luigi were then on their way to the space station while Samus & Pikachu's taxi was pulling over for them.
"Sir, we need to get to the Mushroom Kingdom Space Station as fast as possible," said Samus.
"You got it, miss," said the taxi driver.
"Let's hope that we can get on that first flight, pika" said Pikachu as he and Samus were now on their way.
On their way to the space station, Bowser & Bowser Jr.'s taxi driver was making great time as they had hoped.
"Alright, now go the left of here, Mr.," said Bowser.
"Oki doki," he said as he went left.
A minute later, they had arrived at the space station, and Bowser & Bowser Jr. got out of the taxi, and paid their fee.
"Thank you sir," said the taxi driver.
"Whatever, just get out of here," said Bowser.
"Dad, come on, we gotta go!" Bowser Jr. called after his Dad as the terminal to the next space shuttle was at the bus station.
The father and son team then hurriedly went over to the bus. Once they got on, they urged the bus driver to leave immediately.
"Sir, there are other people waiting to get on this terminal," the bus driver said.
"I don't care, just go!" Bowser forcefully yelled. The bus driver then closed the doors, and left the bus station.
"Hey! I've been waiting here for ten minutes!" an elderly female turtle yelled out after the bus driver, but it was no use. "Humph, schmuck!"
Meanwhile, Kirby & Jigglypuff were the next team to get out of the woods and started searching for a taxi as well.
"Hey, taxi! We need a ride!" Kirby yelled out, but the taxi had passed them.
"Please help us!" yelled Jigglypuff. "We're begging any one of you, please give us a ride!"
"Hey, come on!" Kirby then whistled.
Finally, a taxi pulled over for them. Kirby then went over to the window of the car.
"Sir, my girlfriend and I are on a trip, and we need to get the nearest space station as fast as possible."
"I don't know where the nearest space station is, sir," said the taxi driver.
"Seriously, man, come on!"
"HEY!" Jigglypuff continued to yell out to the oncoming cars. "WE NEED A TAXI NOW!"
Back at the space station, Bowser & Bowser Jr. had gotten off the terminal, went inside, and searched the entirety of the airport for red and yellow flags.
"Come on, where are they?" Bowser muttered.
"Dad, I see the flags!" Bowser Jr. pointed out.
"Come on then!" Bowser and his son then went over to the ticket counter and talked to the lady in charge. "Hey, lady, is this the first flight to Hyrule Kingdom?"
"No, this is the second flight."
"What! Come on, son, we gotta keep looking."
"But sir-"the ticket lady tried to tell him.
"Forget it, lady; we're not getting on this flight!" Bowser spat in her face.
"Ugh, he is so rude!" the women said, disgusted.
LINK & ZELDA: 7th team to depart, 7:01 pm
Link ripped open their clue and read it out loud
"You have a hundred and fifty dollars for this leg of the race."
"Alright, let's get out of these woods," said Zelda.
CONFESSIONAL:
LINK & ZELDA: Newly Dating
"I'm a bit embarrassed by Link and I's performance in this race so far," said Zelda. "I don't know what's slowing us down, but whatever it is, it's gotta stop holding us back. I know Link and I can do better than this."
"Zelda and I need to learn to work on our communication," said Link, "and we also need to learn how to handle certain situations that we run into, because so far, we haven't been doing very good like we thought we would. We have to learn to be more persistent if we want to win this competition."
END:
"Looks like we're heading back to Hyrule, Link," said Zelda. "For us, it's gonna be like going home."
"Yeah, you're right," said Link. "Let's use this to our advantage, all right?
"Yeah, good idea."
Meanwhile, Kirby & Jigglypuff still couldn't get a good taxi, as another taxi driver told them he didn't know where the space station was.
"COME ON ALREADY!" said Jigglypuff. "How hard is it just to find one stupid space station!?"
"Hey, come on!" Kirby continued to yell out. "We need someone to take us to the nearest space station right now!"
Finally, a taxi driver pulled over to where the two puffballs were.
"I can take you to the nearest space station," said the taxi driver.
"Yes, finally!" said Jigglypuff.
"Thank you so much, sir, we really appreciate it," said Kirby.
After they got in, Kirby & Jigglypuff were then finally on their way to the space station. Meanwhile, Ness & Lucas were the next team to arrive at the parking lot at the space station. They then got out of the taxi, paid their fee, and went straight over to the bus station to wait for the next terminal.
"Excuse me," Lucas asked the same elderly turtle, "when will the next bus arrive?"
"Not for another five minutes, "The turtle said grumpily as she was still a bit steamed from what happened earlier.
Soon, the taxi with Peach & Daisy and Mario & Luigi in it arrived at the parking lot. Mario & Luigi were the first ones to pay their fee.
"Thank you sir," said Peach as she was about to pay her and Daisy's fee as well.
"Keep the money your highness," said the koopa taxi driver, "no one should have been so rude to leave you two royals stranded."
"Are you sure?" said Daisy.
"Please, your highnesses, I insist."
"Ok, well… thanks," said Peach.
"Look, there's-a Ness & Lucas over there," said Luigi pointed towards the two kids waiting at the bus station. Both teams then went over to them.
"Hey y'all," said Lucas.
"Hey-a guys," said Mario. "When's the next terminal arriving?"
"It'll be here any second now," said Ness. True enough, the next terminal arrived, and all three teams went onto the bus, including the elderly lady who had been waiting there for so long.
Meanwhile, Bowser & Bowser Jr. were still searching the interior of the space station searching for the other pair of red and yellow flags. They've been searching for fifteen minutes.
"Come on, where could those two stupid flags be?" said Bowser, getting a bit impatient.
"Wait a minute, there they are!" Bowser Jr. pointed out again.
The two mutant turtles then went over to the ticket counter and talked to the ticket man on duty.
"Excuse me, sir, we have to get on this flight to Hyrule Kingdom!" said Bowser.
"Yes, sir, I'll be right with you."
"Alright!" said Bowser. "We're on the first space flight!"
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: 1st team on the First Flight
Soon after that, Peach & Daisy and Mario & Luigi had gotten out of the terminal, and both teams went to the left while racing against each other trying to find the first flight. Meanwhile, Ness & Lucas, who were falling behind, lost the two teams, and went to the right.
Meanwhile…
"Look, there are the two flags," said Daisy.
"Come on, Luigi, let's-a go!" said Mario.
Mario & Luigi, and then Peach & Daisy got in line, and waited until it was their turn to go over to the ticket counter. Bowser & Bowser Jr. just stared at them, feeling a bit annoyed as they had to share the flight with these two teams.
"Hello sir, is this the first-a flight to Hyrule Kingdom?" Mario asked.
"Yes, this is the first flight to Hyrule."
"Okay, good, we need to purchase tickets to get on this-a flight. Oh yeah, and don't-a forget to purchase tickets for them too," Mario said, pointing to Peach & Daisy.
"You got it; I'll be right with you."
Meanwhile, Ness & Lucas found the other ticket counter containing the other pair of red and yellow flags. They went in line until it was finally their turn.
"Excuse us, miss," Lucas said to the ticket lady, "is this the first flight to Hyrule?"
"No, this is the second flight, BUT HOLD ON!" the lady quickly stopped them before they could leave. "This flight arrives first; the other flight has a longer layover."
"This flight will arrive first?" Ness & Lucas said in unison.
"Yes, this flight is faster."
"OH SWEET!" said Lucas. "How lucky are we?"
"We'll take this flight then," said Ness.
NESS & LUCAS: 1st team on the Second Flight
Meanwhile, at the other ticket counter, Mario & Luigi and Peach & Daisy had received their tickets for the other flight.
MARIO & LUIGI AND PEACH & DAISY: 2nd and 3rd teams on the First Flight
"Now, just to make sure," said Peach, "This flight arrives first, I assume?"
"No ma'am, this flight arrives last."
"WHAT!?" Bowser yelled as he heard what the ticket man said.
"Oh no, are you serious!?" said Daisy.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, but this flight has a longer layover; it's going to arrive thirty minutes after the second flight."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT BEFORE!?" said Bowser as he punched the counter with his fist. "I want to get on the second flight, now!"
"I'm sorry, you can't give back your tickets; it's the rules."
"So there's nothing we can do about it?" said Peach.
"I'm afraid so, I'm sorry."
"Seriously!?" said Bowser, "Great, there goes our lead!"
"This is bogus!" said Bowser Jr.
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: 8th team to depart, 7:19 pm
Lucario ripped open their clue, and read it out loud.
"You must charter one of these two flights to get there. Don't be late."
"I hope we don't arrive late," said P.T.
"Same here Master, however, I'm afraid we're probably going to be on the second flight."
"Yeah, that's gonna totally suck," P.T. thought.
CONFESSIONAL:
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: Best Friends
"I've definitely learned my lesson about not helping out other teams like I did in the last leg," said Lucario. "I'm not going to be seen doing that anymore."
"I'm glad that Lucario has learned his lesson, and I've forgiven him for what he did as well," said P.T. "From now on, whatever is up ahead that will help us, we will take it immediately. You can count on that."
END:
Link & Zelda were the next team to have gotten out of the woods. Surprisingly, they did not know what to do once they got out of there. They were shown searching for signs that lead them straight to the space station as they made their way there… on foot.
"Link, I'm not sure what we're doing is right. This looks unsafe," said Zelda as oncoming cars kept passing them at high speeds.
"Well, it doesn't look like we have any other choice," Link thought. "We can't just ask strangers to get us there in their cars. I mean, not only does that not sound right, it sounds unsafe."
"It sounds right and safe to me if doing that gets us there faster."
Meanwhile, P.T. & Lucario had gotten out of Boo Woods, and were calling for a taxi to pick them up.
"Hey Taxi, we need a ride!" said P.T., who then whistled trying to get their taxi's attention. This seemed to have worked as the taxi pulled over next to them. Lucario then went over to the window of the car.
"Sir, do you know where the closest space station is?"
"Yes, sir, I've been there tons of times," said the taxi driver.
"Perfect, we also need to get there fast," said P.T.
"You got it sir."
"We're very grateful for your assistance, sir," said Lucario.
P.T. & Lucario were then on their way to the space station. Almost half way there, Lucario saw Link & Zelda walking on the side of the road up ahead.
"Master, isn't that Link & Zelda over there on the side of the road?"
"No way! Are you serious?" P.T. couldn't believe what he saw. "I can't believe they're walking on foot!"
"Would y'all like for me to pull over for them?" the taxi driver asked.
Lucario thought hesitantly.
"N-no sir," said P.T., "don't pull over for them. We're in a race."
"Y-Yes, we're racing against those two," said Lucario, remembering not to help out other teams.
"Oh, well, alright. If you insist," said the taxi driver, a bit confused.
"Maybe this'll get us on the first flight, you never know," said P.T.
"Maybe you're right, Master."
Back at the space station, Samus & Pikachu's taxi arrived at the parking lot. Pikachu did the honors of paying their fee, while Samus got their bags out of the trunk.
"Alright, come on Pikachu, we gotta hurry!" said Samus.
"Coming, pika," Pikachu said as he and Samus ran toward the bus station.
When they got there, however, there was no terminal waiting for them. Samus & Pikachu had no other choice but to wait. Meanwhile, Kirby & Jigglypuff's taxi arrived. Kirby paid their fee while Jigglypuff was just anxious to move on. Pretty soon, they spotted Samus & Pikachu, and went over to them.
"Hey Pikachu, hey Samus," said Jigglypuff.
"Hello Kirby & Jigglypuff, pika," said Pikachu.
"When's the bus gonna be here, Samus," Kirby asked.
"Probably not for few minutes," said Samus.
"Oh, okay," said Kirby.
FOX & KRYSTAL: Last Team to depart, 7:36 pm
Krystal ripped open their clue and read it out loud.
"You must purchase one of these two flights to the Kingdom of Hyrule."
"Alright, come on Krystal," said Fox. "Let's hurry up and get out of here."
CONFESSIONAL:
FOX & KRYSTAL: Dating
"The last leg of the race really showed us that there's always going to be many surprises up ahead," said Krystal," and we always have to make sure we come prepared to face those surprises. We cannot back down.
"From now on, we're gonna be racing our hardest to stay in this race," said Fox. "We have to make sure we use our common sense and that we don't shy away from any challenge that we come across."
END:
"We have to run as fast as possible from now on, Krystal," said Fox.
"Absolutely, Oh, and Fox," said Krystal, "I promise that from now on I'll read the clue more thoroughly before volunteering for any more Roadblocks."
"It's alright, Krys, you're forgiven."
Back at the space station parking lot, the terminal still hadn't arrived for Samus & Pikachu and Kirby & Jigglypuff. At that time, P.T. & Lucario were the next team to arrive in their taxi. P.T. paid their fee while Lucario got their bags out of the trunk, and he was then heading straight toward the bus station. P.T. followed.
"Hey guys," said Jigglypuff.
"You're just in time, the bus has just arrived, pika," said Pikachu.
"Wow," said P.T., "what luck."
When the terminal pulled over, all three of those teams went on the bus. Meanwhile, Fox & Krystal were the last team to get out of Boo Woods, and started calling for a taxi by the side of the road.
"Hey taxi," Fox yelled out, "we need a ride."
At that moment, the next taxi pulled over, and Fox went over to the window, and asked the driver if he knew where the nearest space station was.
"You know where the space station is?" Fox asked.
"Yes sir," said the taxi driver.
"Ok good, we need you to get us there as fast as possible."
"You got it sir."
"I just hope we'll make it before both flights leave," said Krystal.
Meanwhile, Zelda was starting to get more and more frustrated by the lack of progress that she and Link were making by walking to the space station.
"Link, this is taking way to long!" said Zelda. "My feet are starting to hurt, and we don't even know we're going the right way!"
"I'm sure the other teams did this too, Zelda," said Link.
"Link, we haven't even seen any teams walking out here. They probably took a car to the space station."
"Zelda, the clue never said anything about there being any cars waiting for us. This is obviously our only choice."
"Whatever, Link, you're so stupid!"
"Zelda, the clue doesn't say anything about there being any cars waiting for us!" Link said again.
"Well, there has to be something Link! We can't just walk on the side of the road! What we're doing not only looks dangerous, but it also makes us look like total idiots!"
As Fox & Krystal were still in their taxi on their way to the Space Station, Krystal spotted Link & Zelda arguing with each other on the side of the road.
"Fox, look," Krystal said, pointing out the window, "Link & Zelda are over there stranded."
"Really?" Fox looked in at Krystal's window and saw that she was right. "They probably don't know what they're doing." Fox then asked the taxi driver to pull over for them so they could help them out.
"Zelda, look, I'm sorry! I wish I knew what we could do." Suddenly, Link & Zelda saw an oncoming taxi pull over, and Fox & Krystal came out, and went over to them.
"Hey guys, why are y'all walking?" Fox asked.
"Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing?" said Link.
"Are you kidding me?" said Krystal. "Taking a taxi is much faster than getting there on foot."
"I knew it!" said Zelda. She then nudged Link in the arm. "See, I told you we should've asked for a ride, Link!"
"Give me a break, Zelda. I didn't even know we could do that," said Link.
"Y'all can come and ride with us," said Fox.
"Yeah," Krystal agreed. "We'll all be on the last flight together anyways."
"Will you? Oh, you guys are so wonderful, thank you," said Zelda. She and Link then got into the taxi with the two anthropomorphic vulpine.
CONFESSIONAL:
LINK & ZELDA: Newly Dating
"Link and I have done absolutely zero preparation for this race," said Zelda. "There a lot of things about modern society that we still have a lot to learn about."
"Because Zelda and I come from an era where we live off of only basics, we have no knowledge about taxis at all," said Link.
"This is putting us at a major disadvantage," said Zelda, "so if we want to make it to the end, we're going to have to learn how to handle all these modern necessities as we go on in this race."
END:
Back at the space station, Samus & Pikachu, Kirby & Jigglypuff, and Pokémon Trainer & Lucario had gotten off of the terminal, went inside, and started searching for red and yellow flags. Suddenly, they came across Ness & Lucas.
"Hey y'all," said Lucas.
"Lucas, are all the seats taken for the first flight?" P.T. asked.
"Oh no, you don't want to go on the first flight," said Ness. "The second flight gets there first."
"Really?" said Jigglypuff. "The second flight gets there first?"
"You're not lying to us, are you!?" said Samus.
"I'm telling you, we're not lying," said Lucas, feeling intimidated by Samus. "It says so on our tickets. See?" He then showed them their tickets.
"No way!" Kirby was astounded. "Can you show us where the ticket counter for the second flight is?"
"Sure, follow us," said Ness.
Pretty soon, all three of those teams got in line to get their tickets for the second flight.
"Okay, just to make sure," said Samus when she got to the ticket lady, "this flight will arrive before the first flight?"
"Absolutely, it definitely will."
"Oh good, we're so getting tickets for this flight," said Jigglypuff all ecstatically.
SAMUS & PIKACHU, KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF, AND POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teams on the Second Flight
"I can't believe all three of us are going to be arriving before the other flight!" said P.T. "I did not see this coming."
"I know, this is just so exciting! EEEEEEH!" said Jigglypuff, jumping up and down all jubilantly.
"Who knows, Samus, we might end up winning this leg because of this, pika," said Pikachu.
"Yeah, maybe we will," said Samus.
Meanwhile, the taxi containing Fox & Krystal and Link & Zelda had finally arrived at the space station parking lot. Fox and Link paid the taxi driver their fees while Krystal and Zelda got all their bags out.
"Alright, that's everything," said Krystal.
"Come on, Link, let's go!" Zelda yelled out after Link as she started running ahead towards the buildings.
"Hold up there, Zelda, we have to go to the bus station first," Fox stopped her before she could get her team lost again.
"What do you mean?"
"The bus terminal is going to take us to where we have to go to get our tickets," said Krystal.
"Oh," said Zelda.
Back inside, all the teams that had gotten their tickets were all waiting in line at security, talking.
"So the only teams that haven't arrived yet are Link & Zelda and Fox & Krystal?" Kirby asked Samus.
"Yeah, I guess so. We haven't seen them yet."
"Mario, how long is it until our flight leaves?" Peach asked.
"Let's-a see," Mario responded looking at their plane ticket and the clock on the wall, "in about an hour and thirty minutes."
"Teams have to arrive at about an hour before the space shuttles can lift off," said Daisy. "If those two other teams don't make that time limit, they're gonna miss the flight!"
Back at the bus station, the terminal was taking a long time to arrive.
"Come on, where's the bus terminal?" Link was starting to get very worried.
"If this bus terminal doesn't hurry, we're gonna miss the flight," said Fox. "This could put us further behind."
"I hope this doesn't put us out," said Krystal.
…
"Come on, where's the bus terminal?" said Link.
A minute later, the next terminal finally appeared and pulled over for the last two teams.
"Well, finally!" said Zelda. "Took him long enough."
"Come on, Krystal, let's get on," said Fox as both two teams got on the bus.
Back inside, the three teams who were on the first flight were still waiting in line to go through security.
"Do you see any other teams, Dad?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"No, I don't see any other teams, Jr.," said Bowser.
"DON'T CALL ME JR.!" Bowser Jr. screeched.
At that moment, Link & Zelda and Fox & Krystal had gotten off the bus, and immediately ran inside the space station.
"Hey guys, why don't we split up," said Fox, "We can cover more ground trying to find those red and yellow flags if we do."
"All right, good idea," said Link.
With that, Link and Zelda decided to go the left of the space station, while Fox & Krystal went to the right. Pretty soon, Link spotted the red and yellow flags that led to the ticket counter containing the first flight. Link & Zelda went on over to it, and waited in line until they came up to the ticket man.
"Excuse me sir," said Link. "Is this the second flight to Hyrule?"
"No sir, this is the first flight."
"Are there any seats left?" Zelda asked.
"Uh… yes, there is actually."
"Aw sweet, we'll take it sir!" said Link.
"Oki doki, I'll be right with you."
LINK & ZELDA: Last team on the First Flight
Once their tickets were purchased, Zelda jumped up into Link's arms in celebration that were finally getting out of last place, or so she thought.
"I can't believe this, Link! How did we ever get on this flight?!"
"Who cares?! As long as we're now gonna get further ahead!" Link thought.
Meanwhile, Fox & Krystal had found the ticket counter that contained the second flight. As soon as they found it, they got in line, and purchased their tickets.
FOX & KRYSTAL: Last team on the Second Flight
"We're now gonna be on the second flight," said Krystal, talking to the camera.
"Now we just gotta find Link & Zelda," said Fox.
Pretty soon after that, they came across Link & Zelda as they walked half way through the terminals.
"Guys, we just got tickets on the first flight to Hyrule!" said Zelda.
"No way, are you serious?!" said Krystal.
"Yeah, so it looks like we're gonna thirty minutes ahead," said Link.
"Wow, congratulations you guys," said Fox as he shaked Link's hand. "Come on, we better get through security before the space shuttles lift off."
Meanwhile, all of the other teams had already gotten through security, and were still waiting. They now had to wait ten more minutes before they could get on the space ships and leave for Hyrule.
"Do you see them yet?" Jigglypuff asked Kirby.
"Nope, not yet," Kirby replied.
Many more minutes continued to pass as Link & Zelda and Fox & Krystal were still nowhere in sight.
"Hey, son, if those two teams don't make it, we may be able to stay in this race to see another leg," said Bowser, who was grinning evilly at the idea.
Apparently, Bowser had spoken too soon when Link & Zelda and Fox & Krystal had suddenly emerged from security. "Hello guys, you thought you wouldn't see us again?" said Krystal walking up to them.
This shocked Bowser & Bowser Jr.
"Krystal! Fox! Link! Zelda! Y'ALL MADE IT!" Jigglypuff said happily as she ran up to them to embrace them.
"My gosh, we thought y'all were long gone," said Ness.
"Yeah. It's too bad we have to be leaving on the second flight though," said Fox.
"What are you talking about, didn't the ticket agent tell you guys about your flight?" said Peach.
"Wait a minute. Told them WHAT about their flight?" said Zelda, getting a bit suspicious.
"The second flight is going to be arriving thirty minutes before the first flight," said Kirby, "which means Fox & Krystal are actually on a good flight."
"WHAT!?" Zelda was shocked.
"Oh my gosh, are you sure?" Fox asked.
"It's true," said Jigglypuff. "And you're gonna be riding with us! Isn't it awesome?!"
"Oh my goodness! I -I can't believe this!" Krystal then hugged Fox as she had never been so happy before in her whole life. The two vulpine were then making out with each other in celebration of this. Link & Zelda on the other hand, just stood there as they were both shocked by what they just heard. Zelda was then officially pissed.
"I can't believe this. I knew there was something fishy about our flight arrangement, Link!" said Zelda. She was now extremely unhappy with Link.
"Oh no," said Lucario, "I can sense that Link & Zelda are about to get into an argument."
"If that's so, I suggest we all stay out of this," said P.T., and everybody agreed.
Link & Zelda were then continued arguing.
"Zelda, why are you getting angry at me for this? It could've happened to anybody," said Link.
"Link, the reason why I am mad is because my own boyfriend is the worst partner you could ever ask for!" said Zelda.
"What, excuse me!?"
"Link, you have been nothing but a screw up ever since we started this leg!"
"What!? How have I been a screw up since we started this leg!?"
"Because Link! At first, it was the taxi, and now this. You just got us on the wrong flight you idiot!"
"Hey, this isn't my fault! How was I supposed to know the first flight was going to arrive last? The clue never said anything about this either!"
"Link, you're the one that's supposed to be in charge here, and throughout these past three legs, you've been doing nothing but screwing up! Think about it Link, this is why we haven't been doing so well!"
"Zelda, you're over reacting! You're just letting the race get to you and destroy you!"
"You know what Link; I can't even look at you. I mean, I can't BELIEVE you, you are such an idiot!" Zelda then walked away from him.
"HEY! EXCUUUUSE ME PRINCESS!" Link then walked the other way.
"Oh deer," said Krystal, "this is not good."
"What do you think we should we do?" Jigglypuff asked Kirby.
"Let's just give them some time, they'll get over it," said Kirby.
"I hope you're right."
A minute later, it was time for the teams who were on the first flight to leave. Zelda was forced to stand uncomfortably next to Link, while they were waiting in line behind Bowser & Bowser Jr, Mario & Luigi, and Peach & Daisy. Link tried to console Zelda and to say he was sorry, but Zelda was still upset with him.
"No Link, don't touch me!"
"Ok, sorry. Geez!" said Link as they were entering their ship.
Pretty soon, the first space ship started taking off and was soon flying out of the atmosphere, and into outer space.
Meanwhile, it was time for Ness & Lucas, Samus & Pikachu, Kirby & Jigglypuff, P.T. & Lucario, and Fox & Krystal to board the second flight. As all five teams waited in line, Krystal was still a bit worried about Link & Zelda.
"That was a pretty nasty argument Link & Zelda had, Fox. What do you think we should do? I really like them."
"Let's just give them time. Time always helps couples after arguments," said Fox.
"I suppose you're right," she said as they entered the ship.
Not long after that, all five teams had all fastened their seatbelts as they were now ready to go into space. Pretty soon, the second ship was taking off and was on its way to Hyrule.
Stay tuned for part 2 of this episode.
Uh oh, looks like Link & Zelda have just got themselves into an argument… a nasty argument, but that's ok. Fighting is something that loving couples have always been doing since the beginning of time, so this is only natural, am I not right? Hope you all have enjoyed the chapter. The next update will be here soon. Thank you.
