Hi guys! Sorry I took so long to upload but I got distracted. Enjoy!
We left the castle and headed out on our journey. It was only 10 minutes before I realized, I had no idea where we were supposed to be going.
"Where do boos live anyway?" I questioned.
"On Boo's island," Wendy announced. "They migrate to The Mushroom Kingdom sometimes but they'll be on the island at the moment."
"Hey! I'm supposed to be the smart one!" I announced defiantly. "How do you know all that stuff anyway?"
Wendy shrugged. "I read it in a book," she replied.
"So we're gonna need to take a boat, right?" Morton asked.
Wendy nodded.
"So where do we find this boat?" I asked.
"Duh, at the port," she sighed pointing to something off in the distance. "I'll lead."
"No way!" I cried. "I'm in charge, I'll lead."
I started walking in the direction that Wendy had been pointing. The others wondered if I knew where I was going but I figured that, a port's got to be near the sea, right? So if we just head towards the sea, Wendy can lead us from there.
The trip was very boring. Iggy, Lemmy and Larry were having a conversation. So were Morton and Roy but I didn't join either of these conversations because they sounded pretty dull. Wendy was trying to work out the route without me noticing but it didn't work, I noticed.
"Am I the only one who's bored here?" I asked.
No-one paid any attention. Lemmy mouthed 'Save me' at me. He was stuck in a boring conversation with Iggy and Larry and hated it. I could have saved him, but I felt like being a jerk, so I ignored him. Ten minutes passed and I was so bored I thought I was about to explode when Larry cried "STOP!"
We all stopped dead.
"What is it Larry?" Wendy asked.
"Isn't that Mario?" Larry asked pointing a shaky finger to a red dot in the distance.
"Oh, yeah," I said squinting my eyes to make out the dot. "Now don't panic, he won't hurt us if we explain what we're doing here."
I looked around to find out that Iggy, Lemmy and Larry had run away.
"Oh great," Wendy grumbled. (I swear, she grumbles all the time)
Mario ambled over to us. He was texting on his bright red cell phone whilst mumbling to himself. "I have no idea why I do these quests alone," he mumbled. "I'm soooo bored; I knew I should have brought Luigi with me."
He hadn't seen us yet. Suddenly, he walked straight into Roy.
"Whaa-! Oh, great, it's you Roy, Wendy, Ludwig. Have you come to fight me then?" Mario asked.
I stepped forward. "Actually, no," I said. "Junior's been kidnapped and we're rescuing him so if you wouldn't mind…"
Mario stepped sideways blocking my path.. "Yeah right," he said. "I know you Ludwig you're just going to attack me when I least expect it! Well I'm prepared." He stepped into a fighting stance.
"Come on then, fight me," he said.
"No thanks," I said. "I'm kinda busy."
Mario sighed impatiently and suddenly shot fire out of his hands.
"HOLY GOOMBAS, HE'S GOT A FIREFLOWER!" I shrieked diving out of the way.
I rose into the air and shot three blue magic balls out of my staff. He dodged the first two but the third hit him in his fat stomach.
"Ouch!" he cried. This attack had caused him to lose his fireflower.
I flew through the air raising my staff and whacking him hard on the back of the head. Mario collapsed to the ground groaning and clutching his head.. I descended to the ground spreading my arms wide to look dramatic.
"OK Ludwig, you win," Mario gasped.
"Good," I announced.
Mario looked over at me. "And STOP STEALING MY POSE!" he said.
"Well we're gonna go now," Roy announced.
"I don't suppose you want to fight any more of us?" Wendy sneered.
Mario shook his head.
"WIMP!" Morton yelled and ran away. Wendy and Roy followed. I looked back at Mario. Trusting a wimp like him to save a princess is just stupid.
"Peach deserves better than you," I said.
Immediately I regretted it. I knew I shouldn't have said anything but I couldn't help it. Peach is a good friend of mine the fact that she's dating my arch nemesis makes me angry.
Mario glared at me.
"What?" he said through gritted teeth.
"You heard what I said," I replied.
Roy, Wendy and Morton stopped in their tracks and turned around to watch.
"You're a useless wimp," I said. "You're trying to save Peach; you couldn't save an apple from a hungry guy."
Mario got up looking like he wanted to tear my head off. I turned my back and flutter jumped next to Wendy.
Wendy gave me a hard shove. "Well done," she snarled sarcastically. "He'll be harder on Dad now."
I shrugged and strode ahead.
It took a while to find Iggy, Lemmy and Larry. Lemmy was grumbling behind a nearby bush and we found him almost immediately. We went in search of Iggy and Larry.
"Why, oh why did I agree to come on this ridiculous quest? It's just stupid," Wendy announced.
"You had to; remember the way Father reacted when I refused?" I replied.
Wendy nodded, sighing.
"I just don't see why Dad couldn't-"
"BOO!" Iggy yelled jumping out from behind a rock.
"AAAGGGHHH!" I screamed embarrassingly.
"Wendy said a very rude word.
"Wendy! Language!" Iggy announced.
"Well don't give me a flipping heart attack then!" Wendy snapped back.
Iggy grinned triumphantly.
"I told you we shouldn't have brought Larry," Wendy whined. "He's got lost now."
"It's your fault," I pointed out. "You were supposed to be looking after him!"
Wendy scowled. "I never agreed to this," she mumbled under her breath.
"Hey guys, has anyone ever told you that you argue way too much?" Morton asked us.
"Guys! I've found Larry!" Roy yelled.
"That's great!" Wendy exclaimed.
"He's stuck in a tree," Roy replied.
"Oh fantastic," I mumbled.
Morton, Wendy, Lemmy, Iggy and I ran over to the tree.
Larry sat blot upright in a tall tree. He looked terrified.
"So how do we get him down then?" I asked.
"Come on Larry, don't be scared, just come down. You'll be fine, I'll catch you if you fall," Roy coaxed.
Larry stayed precisely where he was.
"That's never going to work," Wendy announced.
"Well what do you suggest?" Roy asked grumpily.
Wendy turned to Larry. "Larry, you'd better get out of that tree," she said. "Because… there's a giant bear behind you and it's going to eat you up!"
Larry shrieked and clambered higher up the tree.
"Oh well done," I sighed sarcastically.
"Larry, come down," Morton said. "I've got cookies!" He held up an empty plate covered in crumbs.
"What? WHERE THE HELL DID MY COOKIES GO?!" he raged.
Iggy burped loudly.
"IGGY YOU ATE MY COOKIES!" Morton yelled.
Iggy ran away and Morton followed but no-one seemed to care.
"Ludwig! You can fly up there and grab him!" Wendy suggested suddenly.
"Well why didn't you think of that before?" Lemmy grumbled.
Wendy shrugged.
I rose up into the air and floated towards the branch that Larry was clinging to.
"Come here buddy," I said scooping him up in my arms and prising his fingers away from the branch. I descended downwards and when I hit the ground I simply said: "You ask way too much of me."
"Of course we do," Morton replied. He had returned holding Iggy by the ankle and shaking him occasionally. "You're the eldest aren't you?"
Wendy was all over Larry, nagging at him to never run off and never climb trees again.
"You should never hit someone with your staff because it might break. I did that once, and it snapped in two, Daddy was furious," Iggy said.
He was trying to convince me not to hit anyone on the head with my staff again, but it wasn't working.
"Save me the stories, please Iggy," I begged.
Abruptly, Wario walked out from behind a bush and stopped in front of them.
"Hello," he said. "I'm a pointless plot device!"
"God damnit Wario you broke the fourth wall!" I yelled and kicked him up the ass. (Sorry, my sister made me write that LOL) He ran away behind the bush he had come from.
"And I thought I was supposed to be the only German person in this Fanfic!" I yelled after him.
"There's the port!" Wendy cried pointing to a wooden shack by the sea.
"Cruise ships, today Boo's island," Roy read. "Woe, that's convenient!"
"Don't question it," Lemmy sighed. "It's-"
"NO MORE BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!" I yelled.
"Wendy sighed and walked up to the counter.
"7 kids for Boo's island please," she said.
The woman behind the counter placed seven tickets on the counter.
Wendy turned to me. "I told you we'd need money," she said annoyingly.
"700 coins please," the woman behind the counter said.
"HOW MUCH?!" I exclaimed.
Larry picked up the tickets, then suddenly yelled: "RUN!" and bolted off and onto the boat.
We ran after him, laughing maniacally.
"WAIT!" the woman yelled. "COME BACK! YOU HAVEN'T PAID!"
We ran onto the boat still laughing and took a seat. The boat had a glass bottom and when Iggy, Larry and Lemmy found out what that meant, they ran off to see the fish. I sighed and bought a shroom shake from the boat café and sat sipping it. Wendy stood at the deck of the boat with a boy. I went to go and investigate. The boy was talking to Wendy.
"…so then I said, 'Oh really? Because to me you're just a guy with grapes on his head!" he said and burst out laughing.
Wendy laughed too, but unenthusiastically. She wasn't properly listening; she was blushing a deep shade of pink and was fiddling with her bracelets. I sighed. I knew the signs; Wendy had a crush on him.
Not again I thought. Wendy was always falling in love and it was really annoying. The boy turned to me.
"Hi," he said. "I'm Diego." He had suntanned skin, almost orange and sparkly white teeth. His hair was jet black and his eyes were green- gold. He had a Spanish accent. I could see why Wendy fancied him.
"I'm Ludwig," I said. "Wendy's brother."
I thought that Wendy falling in love with him was dangerous. He was human; the same species as Mario! Surely, if Father knew, he would destroy Diego and Wendy would be in huge trouble.
"So, Diego," Wendy said. "After this, do you want to go out for ice cream?"
Diego frowned. "Are you asking me out?" he questioned.
Wendy grinned. "Maybe," she teased.
"No thanks," Diego replied. "I have a girlfriend." He linked his arm with a blond girl next to him. I was honestly surprised that Wendy hadn't noticed her.
"Tactful," I sneered, sarcastically.
Wendy sniffed. "SHUT UP LUDWIG!" she screamed. "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" And she ran away crying. I sighed; Wendy is such a drama queen.
I was finally alone on the deck and when I saw the view, I forgot everything. The view is amazing. The sea is huge; it stretches out for miles in every direction. I saw land from the direction we'd just come from, but the feeling of wind in my hair and the feeling of freedom and adventure makes me forget all my problems and it's fantastic.
"I'll never let go Jack!" Iggy mocked annoyingly and the moment is lost. He laughed and ran back to his seat. I sighed and with one last look out to sea, I walked back to my seat.
"We're here! We're here! Oh my god, we're here! Wake up Ludwig you lazy bum! WE'RE HERE!" Iggy yelled.
"Huh- whaa…" I mumble waking up. The boat had stopped and Iggy was so excited, he was running around yelling at the top of his voice.
"Are we here then?" Roy asked.
"No, whatever gave you that idea?" I stated sarcastically.
