Chapter 4

Settle it in court

Pirate Land, 1959

"Well," said Waluigi outside the court room "it's time to go, Edgar continue to make steel, I know we are going to win but we are going to need tons of steel and we need it now."

"Sure, Waluigi. I'll get it done," Edgar replied then left.

"Wish me luck," Waluigi he said to his fiancé then leaned down to kiss her.

"You will win alright," she replied with tears in her eyes. He nodded his head then heading into the court room with their lawyer and his father in law.

Waluigi walked out of the court room with a smile on his face then not answering to any reporters. He walked out then looked to his father in law who was outside and told him "Steven, we won,"

Walking into his home with father in law in toe walked into the house almost an hour after the court case had finished. Rosalina ran down the steps and hugged him.

"What happened?" she asked him still keeping him in her embrace.

"Sit down and I'll tell you," Waluigi replied as he mentioned over to the sofas.

"So he sued you for land rights for land he didn't own?" She asked looking at her fiancé and her father.

"Yep," Steven replied to her "dumbest court case I've ever seen."

"So how bad did he lose?" She asked looking at the two men.

"It was close," Waluigi replied looking semi down at this part of the story "Out of the nine judges only five voted in favor of us,"

Rosalina was shocked by this then asked how that could have possibly happen.

"Toadsworth has tons of influence in almost anything which includes the courts, we were lucky we even won," Steven said now standing up getting a drink then added "the judges are more damned politicians answering to that damn toad, reason I left."

"No," Rosalina replied looking to him "you left because mom died," Steven dropped his drink to the floor. Waluigi was still and didn't say anything. He finally knew why his future father in law had left power. Because Rosalina's mother died. It all made sense now.

Two Months Later

It was on a small beach on the third island. It was the day, it was Waluigi's and Rosalina's wedding day. The private wedding had mostly Rosalina's side but only one member of Waluigi's family had attended his brother, Wario. The ceremony was beginning.

Waluigi stood there next to the priest as the doors opened and the best men and brides maids walked in. Then came in Rosalina in a beautiful perfect white gown. Steven walked with his daughter in one arm walked her down the aisle.

She walked up and stood in front of Waluigi and next to the priest. The priest began to say his speech. Eventually Waluigi lifted her veil and then kissed her. They were married, Waluigi had finally married the beautiful woman he saw those months ago.

He was running a successful steel company and his wealth was slowly growing. They then left the church and headed towards a boat that would take them to a small island in the coast.

One Month Later

"How's the production going?" Waluigi asked his friend Edgar Gadd at the site of the bridge that would connect Island One and Island Two. The rafters had started to be put in place.

"Good but we have one problem," Edgar replied now seeming nervous

"Well, what is it?" Waluigi asked confused by what his friend was about to lead into to.

"It's better if we talk about this back at my house," Edgar replied and Waluigi agreed to head there.

At Edgars home the two sat down on two formal chairs. Edgar started to explain "So when making steel you need iron, and all the iron is mined in northern Island One,"

"Alright makes sense," Waluigi replied looking at his friend even though he wasn't done explaining yet.

"One problem the company that is selling Steel is owned by Toadsworth,"

"Oh god, what is he doing?"

"He's charging us a lot higher prices and he giving it at rock bottom prices to a new steel mill,"

"A new steel mill?" said a confused Waluigi not knowing that they had any competition "Who owns it?"

"A man by the name of Roy Koopa, he started in Bowser Land and has set up shop here with the new business. He usually just made weapons but now he makes steel."

"So, we are buying expensive Iron and when we finally make the Steel and sell it we don't make any money off it?"

"Basically,"

"So what do we do?"

"I don't know yet,"

"I have an idea," said a monotone Waluigi "We buy a new company,"

"What company?"

"A mining company,"

"Toadsworth's?"

"No, I know for a fact that he has a struggling company up there,"

"Who?"

"A company called Mushroom Mining, we need to buy that company,"

"But like you said it's struggling we'll won't make any money,"

"I'll make money, I'll get us iron, I'll build bridges and I'm going to finally put an end to that man's career," said a now angry ambitious Waluigi. He grabbed his hat and coat and headed out into the bitter cold morning air.

When Waluigi got home his wife was waiting for him, and with tears in her eyes hugged him, surprised he spoke "Rosalina? What's wrong?"

She took her head out his chest and said in almost a whisper, "Waluigi, I'm pregnant,"
