Chapter 4: The Plan
Pinto had been waiting for Fawful to come out of the room for 4 days now. He had scrounged up some coins found on the ground in various places and used the money for food, so he wasn't hungry, but still it was kind of boring to watch a door for hours. He's gotta come out sometime, Thought Pinto, and I'm not sure if he'll want me missing when he comes out. So on Pinto sat for hours (until he got hungry and left to get food), waiting for Fawful. Bored out of his mind, Pinto even managed to beat himself at tic-tac-toe (using beans as X's and spare coins as O's) on the 47th try. Finally, Pinto decided to risk knocking. A laser missed his head by mere inches. Pinto didn't knock again.
When is Fawful coming out! thought Pinto, for he feared if Fawful heard him he might use a more accurate laser. Three hours later, Fawful emerged, wearing his familiar grin. "I have planning!" he exclaimed, "soon, Fawful will have the ruling of three kingdoms, and then the world will fear Fawful before it has the belonging to Fawful also!" Pinto, ecstatic to actually be doing something, asked, "what's the plan, lord Fawful?" Fawful's grin grew (this was the response he wanted, he loved to brag about the cleverness of his plans). "Fawful will first be having the kingdom of beanishness, then the kingdom of mushroomness, then the kingdom of. . . sarasaness? Anywaying, the plan of Fawful's has much greatness! When the brother of red has the leavingness, we will have the sneaking into the beanish kingdom." Fawful paused and then asked, "do have the rembering of the one who has the ruling of the kingdom of beanishness?" Pinto, caught unawares, stuttered, "Q-Queen Bean?" "You have correctness! If something had the happening to her, who would have the in-chargeness?" Pinto saw where this was going. "Lady Lima," he answered. "Correctness again! If something had the happeningness to her also, who would then be having the managingness of the kingdom?" Pinto thought for a second. "...her assistant? What's-his-name? Pea! That's it!" "I say to you yes! It would have the being of Pea! Fawful will have the coming of back."
Fawful walked into a storage room and left Pinto alone for a few minutes. What could he be doing...? thought Pinto. Fawful emerged holding a mostly yellow outfit (it had white and blue in some places). "That's-" "an outfit that once had the belonging to Pea! Cackletta and Fawful had the stealing of it for the purpose of a disguise! You have more looking like Pea than Fawful does, so you will have the playing of the part of Pea." Pinto realized what this meant. "So, in short we're gonna kidnap Queen Bean, Lady Lima, and Pea, put me in Pea's place, and then the Beanbean Kingdom will belong to us?" Fawful shook his head. "That is only being the beggining! But now, we must be having the preparing. Fawful will have more explaining later." Soon, Pinto was in Toad Town collecting supplies, tools, and information.
