Chapter Three: Arguing Shy Guys

Somewhere- no one actually knows where, but it isn't important- two red Shy Guys were discussing something. We can here them calling each other names. The one that was apparently called idiot called the other one Ralph, which must have been his name. Ralph later called 'idiot' by his real name, Bob.

"I'm telling ya, it was a screw up. A BIG one. We dropped that important item in a pipe!" Ralph said, panicking.

"Bah, we are going to be fine. Baron Guy won't be harsh with us," said Bob.

"You don't understand. He WILL. How could you have forgotten? He yelled at us yesterday. He yelled at us the day before… two weeks ago… months ago… years ago, even! A decade ago! He's always yelling at us!" said Ralph.

"You're acting like it is a big issue," said Bob.

One of them reported they had had a flood in the house and the Mario Brothers had left with a red object. The Shy Guys then asked the Mushroomers where the Marios lived. Finally, they found out and headed there.

"We are finally here," said Ralph.

"Now let's see if the red object was the Ruby," said Bob.

The two knocked on the door. After a minute, an impatient Ralph broke the window. The two leaped into the house.

"Okay. Let's nab that thing and get out of here," said Bob.
