The soccer team practiced until they could practice no more, it involved days of pure agony, but they knew the results would be worthwhile. Even when they won the league they had a parade like celebration in their honor, but now all that would be for nothing if they don't win the play-off match, it's the soccer event of the year, and finally MK High were in it, they weren't just going to lose and start the league all over again. Even though, in his mind of course, Luigi had something to fight for, he had lost his 'touch'. He used to be quite a good one, but Toad was better then he was, so with match day looming, he had to prove his worth. Meanwhile, in school, E. Gadd was writing some equations on the board, it was science again in MK High as everyone took their seats. As E. Gadd explained the experiment they were going to do for the lesson, Waluigi was making glances at Daisy, Daisy returning the glances. Luigi almost turned as green as his shirt, it was as if they were still going out! But, of course, it was all a charade, Waluigi and Daisy were still in a relationship, that Waluigi wanted to get out of. As the lesson progressed, Luigi was trying to keep in his envy for Waluigi and Daisy, who were Lab Partners, not doing a thing right. Mario, Luigi's lab partner, tried to snap him out of it.

"Hey! Concentrate bro! You're good at this stuff!" Mario said, clicking his fingers

"Sorry… I am just staring into space" Luigi shook his head

"Well, at least you are not gonna be in space like I am November 16th"

"What?"

"… Nothing…"

"Oh, OK then" Luigi continued with his experiement

As the class did the experiment and Wario blew himself up, Luigi kept on getting distracted, this even distressed the normally calm E. Gadd, who called Luigi to his desk at the end of the lesson.

"You seem to be distracted today, what is wrong? Everything at home OK?" E. Gadd asked

"Everything's fine at home, it's just…"

"Ah, I can see it in your eyes… reminds me of U. Reaka…" E. Gadd sighed and looked out the window "She was a specimen that was most pleasant, yes, most pleasant indeed… she was the reason why I got into science. But she was also the reason why I can't trust any woman today. But you are a prodigy, I don't want you to make love get in the way of your studies, or in fact anything else. You are mid-way through the year, and it all relies on the end of year tests what happens. You could become a Plumber, you could become a Plumber who wears a hat. But love will drag you down, save it until you've grown" E. Gadd ended his emotional lecture and allowed Luigi to leave. Everything sunk in, but his heart belonged to Daisy. But what a time to recive a long lecture, because Waluigi and Daisy were walking hand in hand down the hall, Waluigi receiving a peck on the cheek. Waluigi HADN'T broke up with Daisy. Normally, Luigi would have been heartbroken and bed-bound by now, but this time, he has matured, this has happened once, Luigi wasn't going to take it light-hearted, he fueled himself inside his mind with pure envy, hate and other emotions he was encountering and stored it in his head. He walked away, calm and composed… for tomorrow, he was off to a packed stadium.

Meanwhile, Wario was being poked at by the little Goomba's, who started this year, wondering if he was filled with air or not, when Mario came towards him. Being somewhat of a sporting hero, the Goomba's stared, bug-eyed towards Mario is sheer awe.

"Thanks, those little jerks were annoying me. I swear, one more poke, I could feel myself brewing a…"

"Anyway, I need your help Wario… I never thought I'd actually say that… ever… but I need your help" Mario interrupted

"For what? When do you need the awesome help of Wario?!" Wario posed for the Goomba's, who were holding up pins to pop him

"Well, I need you to help with the team of course"

"What? You want me to be in the team!?" Wario got excited

"No… last time, you couldn't fit in the changing rooms"

"Damn… Manager? Commentator…?"

"Mascot" Mario held up a foam mushroom outfit for Wario to put on, perfectly wide for him to fit in, the Goomba's just laughed there tiny feet off.

"…lame…" Wario said, but he had to do it, so he put on the suit and tried to walk in it, which caused even laughs from Mario

"Hey, stop it!" Wario said, before a large eruption came from the bottom of the suit "Uh Oh… Oh god! Oh god! It smells, it smells, get me outta here!" The goomba's and Mario rolled on the floor laughing as Wario waddled about frantically, as he farted inside his suit and was trapped with the smell.
