Yeah, it was inappropriate for Luigi, but it was nintendoscript15's idea. And then again, as he said to me, about humor in those moments

nintendoscript15

Yeah, some tidbits I added was the conversation between Luigi and Daisy, and Mario's cry when getting burned being changed from his original cry in 64 to his new one in Sunshine, which sounds more accurate to feeling absolute pain when being burned alive.

Thanks for your help on the last chapter!

Real hot! This is a very tedious mission.

Nataly Guardado

Mario: It's okay, Nataly. I know you didn't mean it.

Luigi: And you shouldn't be forced to play a certain Mario game as punishment. Mario's games are for fun, not punishment. Well, unless you count Mario's educational games, or Hotel Mario. THOSE are games to punish people with.

Mario: We don't talk about those games, bro.

Luigi: Oops! Sorry! By the way, Ask Mario has come back for a new season! And guess who won the poll! Luigi! Luigi! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

Daisy: *groan*

Aqua: Maybe next time…

LiamTheYoshi

Yeah, I would feel exactly the same if I were hanging over a seemingly bottomless cliff. I wouldn't blame him for feeling that way.


The next morning, Mario, Luigi, and Daisy came back to Delfino Plaza. Mario kept squinting his eyes and covering them with his cap. Luigi and Daisy's eyes felt irritated by the sun as well.

Mario: Sheesh! We've gathered so many Shine Sprites that the sun is just too bright for our eyes to handle. I wish I bought sunglasses.

Luigi: Agreed. But at least it's a sign that we're almost done.

Daisy: Maybe there's someplace where we can buy sunglasses. Let's look around.

?: Yoohoo!

The three looked around for the source of the voice, but were stunned to see who it was. It was Aqua wearing a pair of blue sunglasses, a short sky blue skirt with a Shine Sprite pattern, and a pair of green sandals.

Aqua: What do you think of my new outfit? Pretty cool, huh?

Mario: You look amazing, Aqua!

Luigi: Yeah! Very tropical!

Daisy: Where did you get that?

Aqua: Toadette got it for me. This nice Pianta gave it to her since the sun was getting too bright. She bought outfits for you guys as well! Come check them out!

They went back to the motel where Toadette gave them the outfits to change. After a couple of minutes, Mario came out of the closet wearing red sunglasses, a Hawaiian styled sky blue shirt with a Shine Sprite pattern over his classic red shirt and blue overalls, along with his trademark brown shoes.

Toadette: Wow! You look great, Mario!

Mario: Thanks! I really like this outfit. It makes me feel cool! And the sun will no longer annoy me with how obnoxiously bright it is. Seriously, with how much light from it shines in my face, I almost feel like it's angry at me.

Toadette and Aqua giggle.

Aqua: So true.

Luigi and Daisy came out of their closets as well. Luigi had green sunglasses with the same shirt as Mario over his iconic outfit. Daisy came out with yellow sunglasses, a Skirt with the same pattern as the others, and orange sandals.

Luigi: Oh, yeah! Looking good!

Daisy: I'll say! I didn't think it was possible for you to be anymore handsome.

Luigi felt his face heat up and stroked his hand behind his head.

Luigi: Oh, uh… thank you! You look beautiful in that dress.

Mario walks up to Luigi.

Mario: *whispering* Would you just kiss her already?!

Luigi: *whispering* What?!

Mario: *whispering* We all know you two have mutual feelings for each other! What are you waiting for? Tie the knot!

Luigi: *whispering* Not yet! I'll do it when I feel comfortable enough. I mean, what if I'm a bad kisser?

Mario: *whispering* I'm just trying to help you, bro. Just stay calm when you do it, and you'll be ready for the kiss in no time.

Luigi: *whispering* I'll try.

Aqua: LUIGI AND DAISY SITTING IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-!

Before Aqua could even DARE to finish that song, Luigi took off his glasses and gave her a firm look in the eye. This gave Aqua a feeling of discomfort, as she felt that he was staring right into her very soul. Without hesitation, she kneeled down on her two knees begging for mercy.

Aqua: I'msorry!I'msorry!I'mSOOOOOOOsorry!Plzdon'thurtmeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Daisy: Uhhhhh… what was that?

Mario: If you make Luigi really mad, he'll give you what I like to call the "death stare". You do not want to get this stare. I got it quite a few times from him and regretted every course of action I did to upset him.

Toadette: Sheesh! Well, at least bullies can't bother him.

Mario: Yeah. I'd like to see him use it on Waluigi. That would be hilarious!

Toadette: So now that we're all dressed up, why don't we go have some breakfast?

At the breakfast table, Toad and Toadette got bacon and eggs, Mario got a breakfast casserole, Luigi got two breakfast tacos, Daisy got Belgian Waffles, and Aqua, who drooled when her food was served, got three plate sized strawberry pancakes with strawberry syrup. She was the first to start eating as well. Toadsworth was not present since he was still asleep. Daisy noticed that Aqua was eating rather quickly.

Daisy: Jeez! Slow down, kiddo! You're gonna get a belly ache.

Mario couldn't help but laugh a little, since this reminded him of the times in his childhood when he and Luigi would race to see who could finish their italian food the quickest despite their mom's warnings of getting stomach aches.

Eventually Aqua was more than halfway done, but she felt full and couldn't get herself to eat more. She just pushed the remaining food out of her sight so she wouldn't get tempted. Aqua was about to get up and start looking for Shines, but noticed that everyone else was not even halfway done.

Aqua: (Wow! My love for strawberries makes me a really fast eater.) Soooooooo… do you wanna talk about something?

Daisy: Well, how did you sleep last night?

Aqua: Well, Mario, remember when you told me about that dream you had?

Mario: Yes. What about it?

Aqua: You're not gonna believe this! But when I went to sleep, I had the same dream!

Everyone just stopped eating and stared at her with shock.

Luigi: You WHAT?!

Aqua: It's true! The only difference was that Mario, Luigi, and Toad were not there, and instead there were Me, Daisy, and Toadette. Peach was still there, though.

Mario: So, let me guess. You were mostly balanced like me, Daisy could jump the highest and was prone to skidding like Luigi, Peach was the same, and Toadette was the fastest and strongest?

Aqua: Exactly! FLUDD wasn't there though. I wonder why.

FLUDD: Maybe because I would practically break the game.

Daisy: Did we beat that Wart guy Mario mentioned in his dream?

Aqua: Yes we did. But he was weird. We beat him by shoving vegetables in his mouth. I thought vegetables were supposed to be good for you.

Mario: Yeah, and his cheesy lines too. "I am the Great Wart! Hahaha!"

Daisy: I swear, Aqua. You're turning more and more into Mario. Before you know it, you're gonna grow a mustache.

Aqua: You're just jealous because you don't have any fun dreams like I do!

Daisy: Hey! I so do!

Toad: You literally told us the other night that you were dancing in a flower field and turned into a flower yourself. That's more of a nightmare than anything because how would you even move?

Daisy: Why you…

Mario: Alright, I'm done. Let's a go everyone!

Luigi: Okie dokie!

Everyone got out of their chairs and left. Leaving Toad and Toadette alone.

Toad: And, there they go again. If they won't let us join their adventures, why don't we just go have our own?

Toadette: We could do that, but I'd suggest you become a bit more brave.

Toad: Good point. Maybe I could feel braver if I had a team by my side. A brigade perhaps. Hmm…

Meanwhile… Mario and the others went to the top of the Shine Gate.

Mario: So Aqua, we discovered a new area last night.

Aqua: Oh cool! What's it called?

Luigi: Pianta Village. It's the ancestral home of the Piantas up in the mountains.

Daisy: There's not much water up there besides a hot spring and a river though. So don't expect it to be paradise for you.

Aqua: Oh, okay.

The four entered the red pipe and warped to Pianta Village.


Pianta Village

The four spawned at the start of the bridge like last time. It was now daytime, so the colors of the villages popped out more. Walking across the bridge the four could feel and hear thumping.

Mario: What in the mushroom world is that horrific banging?

Luigi: Did an earthquake somehow strike this high up?

Daisy: Doubt it. Probably my shadow self's doing. Let's check it out!

Across the bridge, their mouths gaped open to see an enormous Chain Chomp that was hot red with fury. Luckily, it was chained. But if it were to get unchained, it would likely go on a rampage.

Luigi: That's a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG doggy!

Mario: You've gotta be kidding me! ANOTHER ONE?!

FLUDD: I thought that lady learned her lesson after last time.

Aqua: What are you talking about?

Daisy: Last night, we had to deal with a trio of Chain Chomplets. Those were nuts, but this is just ridiculous! I'm assuming this one is hers as well.

Just then, the mayor approached them. He had bandages all over his skin due to the burns from last night, but otherwise he was fine.

Mayor: Oh, thank goodness you're back! We've got another problem over here! This thing's bigger than all those pups put together!

Mario: No kidding! Is this one from the same pet owner?

Mayor: Apparently, yes. I don't know how she can handle all these pets. She always has burnt hands. It's pitiful. Luckily, it's chained up, so there's no problem, but if that thing goes loose, we're in a heap of trouble. Oh, yes!

Daisy: I don't even wanna imagine.

Mario: He looks red hot. Nothing FLUDD can't fix.

Mario used FLUDD to spray the Chain Chomp and it calmed down for a bit.

Mario: Problem solved!

Aqua: That easy?

Luigi: I guess so.

Just then, the Chain Chomp started making growling noises.

Chain Chomp: Rawr! Rawr! RAAAAAAAAWWWR!

The Chain Chomp went ablaze once again.

Daisy: Spoke too soon, didn't you.

Luigi and Aqua: Yup.

Mario: At least it's chained. But I guess it'll take more than FLUDD to cool hi down.

Just then a frisbee flew by, and a Pianta kid running after it tripped over the stump that kept the Chomp chained. The stump popped out of the ground, freeing the Chain Chomp.

Mayor and the Mario quartet: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Chain Chomp: Ruff Ruff!

The Chain Chomp left to start rampaging throughout Pianta Village.

Aqua: Oh… this is bad…

Mayor: You're telling me! PLEASE tell me you have a plan to calm that beast down.

The Chain Chomp's Owner was outright furious at seeing her pet like this.

Chain Chomp Owner: I'm the one who should be steamed! Bad Chain Chomp! Maybe I should head over to the hot spring to calm myself...

Just then, Luigi grew a lightbulb over his head.

Luigi: The hot spring! It should be open now that it's daytime. That oughta soothe the creature.

Aqua: What's a hot spring?

Daisy: It's like a pool, but smaller and the water is really warm. It's not meant for swimming. Moreso for relaxing.

Aqua: Sounds nice.

Mario: Well, we're going with your plan bro.

Mario and Co. followed the rampaging Chain Chomp. Luckily, it wasn't leaving behind lava goop like it's three little siblings, and was slower, so the group grabbed it's tail rather quickly. However, they couldn't pull it back as the the Chomp's rage made it way to strong. Eventually they lost their grip and fell over.

Luigi: Ow! My hands!

FLUDD: Well, it does not seem to like bathing.

Mario: Gee, you think? That Chain Chomp is a strong one.

Daisy: Probably because it's angry. You somehow gain super strength whenever you get angry. We'll have to cool it down in order to pull it.

FLUDD: Might I suggest using those water barrels instead of me. They cool it down way faster, and you don't waste water.

Mario: Good idea.

Mario grabbed a water barrel and threw it at the Chain Chomp, instantly cooling it down.

Mario: Bad doggy!

The four heroes managed to pull the Chain Chomp close to the hot spring. But just as it was about to fall into the hot spring, it went mad again.

Chain Chomp: Rawr! Rawr! RAAAAAAAAWWWR!

Daisy: Oh, COME ON!

Daisy just about had it and smashed a water barrel right in its face.

Daisy: Now you stay calm! GOT IT!?

The Chain Chomp whimpered in response and the four got a hold of it again. This time, the Chain Chomp fell into the Pianta Hot Spring, which perfectly fit the Chomp, and it released a moan and closed its eyes while also turning gold. A Shine Sprite also came out.

FLUDD: Now, you behave yourself from now on.

SHINE!

All: YAHOO!
