"Well, what now?" Rosalina asked.
"I talked to E. Gadd this morning" Luigi said "he's in the Bean Bean Kingdom for two weeks on a research trip. So we will be keeping our powers until he gets back."
"I guess we can handle that" Mario said "but like Rosie said, what now?"
"I was thinking about going home, showering, changing and going to the pool hall for a little while. Anybody want to join me?" Luigi asked
"Sure" Mario said.
"I'm in" Daisy said.
"Sounds fun" Yoshi said.
"That really isn't my thing" Peach said.
"It is not mine either" Rosalina said.
"I know" Peach said "Rosie and I can rent a few movies and maybe get some ice cream."
"That sounds fun" Rosalina said.
"OK" Mario said "you two have a good time."
Peach kissed him and said "see you in the morning."
Later that night, Mario, Luigi, Daisy and Yoshi were at the pool hall. Mario and Daisy were playing a game while Luigi and Yoshi were sitting at a table watching a baseball game and eating nachos. Daisy was lining up a shot, but her leather gloves were effecting her game.
"You know" Mario said "you would probably play better without those gloves."
Daisy just looked at him.
"Oh, right" Mario said "why aren't you wearing your regular gloves?"
"The cloth material could rip too easily" Daisy said "these old leather biker gloves won't tear."
"Hey" they heard someone say.
Mario and Daisy turned around and saw five toads walking towards them.
"Uh, what's up?" Daisy said.
"We heard you turned into some kinda freak of nature, Sand Princess" the biggest toad said.
"What?" Mario asked.
"You should go back to Sarasaland" one of the toads said.
"Now" the big toad said "I don't want you freaks in my part of the kingdom."
Luigi looked over his shoulder at them and asked "you guys have a problem?"
"Yeah" the toad said "we only want normal people in our part of the kingdom."
"If you have a problem with her, you have a problem with me" Luigi said.
He kept his elbow on the table, but lifted his right hand up beside his head and extended his claws.
"We acquired the mutant powers of the X Men by accident" Luigi said "today we used them to take down three villains at once and save the Mushroom Kingdom. Princess Daisy, don't call her 'Sand Princess', played a big role in the victory. So if I were you I would say thank you, then apologize for what you said to her."
The toads all looked at each other, then one of them stepped forward and said "Princess, please forgive us for our remarks and thank you for protecting our kingdom."
"You're welcome" Daisy said.
The biggest toad stepped forward and said "what are you gonna do if I don't apologize to that freak?"
Daisy looked back and saw Luigi's fist tighten and his left hand claws extend.
"Luigi" she said calmly.
Luigi sighed and retracted his claws.
He stood up, turned around and said "nothing, I can't make you apologize."
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside. Everyone ran outside and found Wart standing there, laughing.
"I heard the villain competition is gone" he said "so I have returned to take over the kingdom."
The toad looked at Mario and Luigi and said "get him! Come on! What are you waiting for?!"
"You don't want mutant freaks in your part of the kingdom" Luigi said.
"So go ahead and beat him up, tough guy" Mario said "show everybody that you don't need help from freaks."
"I'm sorry!" He said "I'm so sorry, Princess! Please, we need you frea- you heroes to help us!"
Luigi extended his claws and said "Daisy?"
"I guess I'll accept his apology" Daisy said smiling "I'm not absorbing Wart, though."
"Can't say I blame you" Mario said.
He took his sunglasses off and blasted Wart with his laser, sending him flying back. Yoshi ran behind Wart and kicked him back towards them. Luigi ran forward and tackled Wart.
He put his claws against Wart's throat and said "you have five seconds to get out of my sight, or fried frog legs will be the new special at the pool hall."
Wart jumped up and ran away as fast as he could. Luigi retracted his claws as Mario, Daisy and Yoshi walked over to him.
"Are we going to have any more villains attack today?" Luigi asked "King Boo? Fawful? Cackletta?"
"I hope not" Daisy said "and don't tempt fate."
"Yeah" Mario said "I just want to play pool, maybe get a beer and go home."
"Sounds like a plan" Luigi said smiling.
