After a few hours, the groups got back together for dinner at the Crystal Palace, to discuss what they had done (Wario and Waluigi, for some reason, remained sullenly quiet). Eventually, they began talking about the next set of groups, as well as where they would meet for the fireworks.

"Well," Mario began, "I say we watch the fireworks from the train station balcony on Main Street. That way, we can leave the park quickly after the show."

"That sounds like a good idea!" Peach replied, "So, what are we waiting for! Let's get going! Otherwise, we'll miss the fireworks!"

Everyone got up and began to leave. Wario was left with the job of cleaning up, mainly because he was still stuffing his face at the buffet even after everyone else left.

"Ahh... Nuthin' like a little snack before dinner, right, Waluigi?"

"A little snack?" repeated Waluigi, who just hung around because Wario was his partner, "You cleared out the entire buffet table!"

"That was a buffet table?" Wario asked while carrying all the plates to the trash can, "I thought that was a sample platter!"

Wario began dumping all the garbage in the trash can when Waluigi began talking to him again.

"Hey, I'm sure glad Mario never stuck me with Peach!"

"What? She's worse than having Luigi outsmart you?"

"HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?"

"You nearly plowed me over when you were chasing him through Tomorrowland."

"Oh, yeah... Anyway, Peach is forcing Mario to go on It's A Small World. I almost feel sorry for the poor guy."

"Yeah... Almost." Wario grunted, shoving the remaining trash into the can, "Well, let's go find something to do to kill time until the fireworks start."

Wario and Waluigi then walked off to go explore the park some more. After they left, the trash can shook a little before Bowser Jr. stuck his head out the top.

"Ugh! Stupid fatso..." Bowser Jr. grumbled, "He nearly suffocated me in there! Anyway, I better go report back to dad!"

Bowser Jr. pulled himself out of the can and ran over to some nearby foliage, where his dad was hiding.

"Well, son?" Bowser began, "Did you find out anything?"

"Yes sir! Turns out that Mario and Peach are going on It's a Small World. We can get rid of Mario AND kidnap the princess at the same time!"

"Good work, son! Let's hurry and get over there and put our evil plans into motion!"

"Wait a second, pops. Why do we need to hurry? The author said we got sent to Tokyo Disneyland, and we already got all the way back in less than one chapter! Doesn't that mean we can take our time if we're just going to the other end of the park?"

"Quiet!" Bowser demanded, cuffing his hand over his offspring's mouth, "What did I tell you about breaking the fourth wall? Quit your yappin' and let's go!"


"Um, Peach? Do we have to go on It's a Small World? I'm sure you'll like Space Mountain a whole lot more..."

"Aw, come on, Mario! You can't go to Disney World and not go on It's a Small World!"

"I can..."

Peach didn't seem to hear Mario as she dragged the poor plumber into one of the boats along with a bunch of other families with little kids. After everyone was seated, the boat lurched forward and began moving into the ride.

"Oh boy!" one of the little kids squealed, "We're going on the happiest cruise ever to set sail!"

"Ugh..." Mario groaned, "Forget Mission: Space. This is the ride that needs motion sickness bags."

As the boat entered the first room, that familiar song started playing, much to Mario's dismay.

"It's a world of laughter a world of tears..." the song began.

"Momma mia..." Mario mumbled, "they've got the 'tears' part right..."

However, what Mario didn't know was that, further into the ride, the two Bowsers were waiting. In the boat storage room, Bowser Jr. was dumping bob-ombs into one of the boats, while Bowser lit them with his fiery breath.

"Hey, pop..." Bowser Jr. asked, "Do you think this'll work? I mean, I don't want to get blown up again..."

"Don't worry, son!" Bowser replied, "That's the ingenious part of this plan! Were gonna push this boat bomb into the ride right behind Mario's boat! Then, weather or not the plan works, we'll be safe in here rather than out in the ride where the explosion is! HA!"

They waited patiently until they could see Mario's boat float by the boat storage doorway, and then they pushed the bomb-loaded boat into the ride... Well, tried to. Just as the boat was about to cross the doorway and into the ride, the door accidentally slammed shut! So instead of pushing the boatload of bombs into the ride, they pushed it into a "wall", causing the bob-ombs to explode in their faces! Fortunately, the explosion didn't damage anything... Except Bowser and Bowser Jr., of course.

"You know..." Bowser Jr. muttered, wiping the soot off his face, "Given our current track record, I'm not too surprised at this outcome."

"Shut up." Bowser moaned.


As Mario and Peach got off the ride, Peach noticed Mario didn't look so well.

"Hey, Mario? Are you ok?"

"..."

"Mario? Are you ok?"

"..."

"Mario?"

"...I CAN'T GET THAT SONG OUT OF MY HEAD!"

Peach couldn't help but giggle at Mario's "dire" predicament.

"Well, I guess that song is catchy..." Peach answered.

"And you know what's worse?" Mario began, "There was that annoying bass in the background in that one room! I swear, it almost sounded like an explosion!"
