Down the hills the two went, towards the stream, glistening in the daylight. The Haunted Mansion was dilapidating and crumbling into smithereens, now that they had caused the havoc. The two of them were liberated from danger and safety and were free, enjoying the rest of the world.
"We did it! We are free!" Birdo delighted.
"Now is the time to have unlimited fun with zero downsides!" Yoshi declared.
"Come on, to the lake! Last one there is a stinky Goomba!" Birdo shouted.
"I got there first. Ha-ha!" chorused Birdo, rubbing it in. "Hey, will you teach me how to swim?" she asked, ready to learn from her bestie.
"Ok. First things first. Get into the water by jumping in!" Yoshi started.
"WOOOHOOOO!" Birdo delighted again while jumping down into the silvery water.
It was nice and cool; it was hot weather so the water temperature wasn't something to complain about.
"Now. Put both arms in front of you, straight. They must be facing towards each other. Now push them both backwards and thrust yourself forwards.
Birdo tried it, and succeeded.
"You are a very quick learner. Swimming is in your blood! Now, hold both arms in front of you and keep your legs straight. Now kick with your legs. Do fast and small kicks to thrust you forwards more."
Another big win for Birdo.
"WOW! Can you do the same thing, but on your back."
Birdo attempted, but she sunk down and Yoshi had to tug her back to the surface.
"That's fine. This was only your first attempt. You are very talented. See if you could do it if you tried again." Yoshi continued reassuringly.
She tried again and then found herself moving down the lake, all her talent moving her around. She was fluent at swimming! Without saying anything, Yoshi jumped into the water too. They had a humongous splash fight. Vengeful and gargantuan waves surged past each other, they both sunk down the stream, they were having the time of their lives!
"To take the element of surprise, we must take a detour through that park over there. Then we get'em, my great army." Red Birdo commanded the army of Shy Guys, Autobombs, Albatosses and Ostros. This was great trouble.
BOMB!
The two of them got blasted onto the ground. An Autobomb had got them! An Albatoss swooped in from the sky and picked both of them up with its razor-sharp claws.
"AAAAAAAAAH!" They both screamed in fear.
The Albatoss dropped them down and they were caught by a Shy Guy. Suddenly, a Cobrat wrapped around them!
"Hello. Tried to run away, did you?" Red Birdo asked them crudely. "None of that matters, cause I'm gonna finish you off!"
"Split up, my army. Some of you go to invade the Mushroom Kingdom, and the rest of you take these two to Wart's Castle! Mwahahaha!" he laughed raucously.
