"Hey, Luigi, wake up."

"Zzz... ugh... huh?"

"Wake up. We're going to Epcot today."

"Uh... wha time iz it?"

"6:00 AM."

"WAH? Jus 10 more minutes... Zzz..."

Luigi immediately drifted back off into a deep sleep while Mario continued to unsuccessfully wake him up by shaking him. Undaunted, Mario pulled out an air horn from seemingly nowhere and blew it right in Luigi's ear. Obviously, this pretty much woke Luigi up.

"WHY'D YA DO THAT?" Luigi screamed, now sitting up on the floor since he had fallen out of bed.

"To get back at you for making the water get really hot during my shower last night."

While Luigi slowly got up (and checked to see if he wasn't deaf) Mario walked over to the nearby end table and grabbed a bagel and a cup of coffee that was lying there.

"By the way, Luigi, I got us some breakfast from the concierge. You want something? I got a muffin, a doughnut, an apple, and some O.J."

"I'll have the apple and the orange juice, thanks."

"Sure thing!" Mario replied as he tossed the apple and handed the orange juice to his brother, "I'm surprised you didn't want a doughnut. Guess I'll have to eat it then!"

"Yeah, well, remember, I'm the skinny one!"

Luigi was met with a flying doughnut that hit him in the face and then hung off his nose.

When the Mario Bros. walked down to the lobby, Peach and Daisy were already there waiting for them.

"Hey boys!" Daisy called out, "What took ya? We've been waiting here for 15 minutes!"

"We were taking our time with breakfast..." Mario answered as he eyed his brother, who was still trying to get doughnut glaze out of his moustache.

"Anyway, that means we only have to wait for Wario and Waluigi," Peach stated, "I wonder where they are?"

"Here they come now," Luigi muttered, "I can here them yelling from here!"

Sure enough, Wario and Waluigi were walking down the hallway to the lobby, whining and complaining all the way.

"I can't believe it!" Wario yelled, "I was in the middle of a wonderful dream (about money, of course), when all of the sudden, this moron calls us up on the hotel phone and claims we made a 6:00 wake-up call! We did not!"

"Yeah!" Waluigi agreed, "I bet I know who it was that set it, too! It was Peach! She's a regular Disney Nazi!"

"Ahem..." Peach interrupted.

"I mean uh..." Waluigi stuttered, realizing Peach had heard him, "Did I say 'Peach'? I meant... Uh... Zelda! Krystal! Samus!... Amy!... ... Tifa!... ... ... Crud..."

"Right..." Daisy trailed off, "So, how about we set off now, hmm? Monorail's right over there."

"Fine with me." Mario replied, "Although, I must admit, it was fun just watching the Two Stooges perform."

The small group began to walk towards the monorail, while Waluigi was still trying to come up with and acceptable alibi.

"I said Jody! No wait, Lara! Uh... Yuna?..."

About 20 minutes (and one monorail line change) later, and the gang were just walking up to the front gates, where Epcot's grand trademark, the giant 'golf ball' Spaceship Earth, stood proudly before them, complete with a Mickey Mouse hand and wand on top. Since they got there before park opened, Peach decided to quiz everyone on some knowledge she picked up in her guidebook while they waited.

"Ok," she began, "What was Epcot originally an acronym for?"

"Uh..." Wario mumbled, "European Pancakes Come Oven Toasted?"

"What? No! It stood for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow! Next question: What is the tallest attraction in Walt Disney World?"

"Hmm... I remember reading something about this..." Mario began, "It's the Tower of Terror, right? It's 199 feet tall because that's the highest it can be without requiring a big, red warning light at the top for low flying airplanes, right?"

"Technically, your right, but that wand on Spaceship Earth they added recently is 257 feet tall, so Spaceship Earth is the tallest."

Mario glanced up and noticed that the wand, indeed, had a warning light on top, a sure sign that it was taller than the Tower of Terror.

"Aw, dang..." Mario moaned, "I forgot about that..."

"Hey, I think the park is opening!" Luigi shouted.

He was right. The line to get in was moving, and it wasn't long before they were all inside the park.

"Well, first things first," Peach started, "I say we go on the ride that is right in front of us: Spaceship Earth."

"Heh, what's it about? The history of golf balls?" Waluigi grunted.

"Uh... No. It's about communication." Peach explained.

"Oh, well, I was close."

Since the park had just opened, getting on the attraction was no problem. As everyone boarded the 'Time Machines', Wario, naturally, made even the simplest concept a major ordeal.

"Hey, this thing is moving foward," Wario observed as he stepped onto the moving walkway running alongside the ride vehicles, "Hmm..."

Suddenly, Wario turned around and started to run the other way.

"Oh! Look at me! I'm running the wrong way on the moving walkway! I'm so bad!"

"We're so very impressed," Daisy sighed, who was sitting in the back of one vehicle with Peach, and the Mario Bros. in the front, "Now, how about you stop making yourself look like an idiot and get in?"

"Geez, you people have no sense of humor..."

Wario climbed into the vehicle Waluigi was in, but due to the amount of time he wasted, the door began to slide shut as he got in and pinched his leg!

"YEOW!" Wario screamed as he tried to free his leg. After about five seconds of pulling, he managed to free it... and he fell over and landed on his butt on the floor of the 'Time Machine'. Everyone, Waluigi included, started laughing at his stupidity.

"Hey! It's not funny! Stop laughing!"

"I thought you said we had no sense of humor," Mario reminded.

"Yeah, well... Oh, shut up."

As the ride proceeded, the narrator began describing the evolution of communication, from caveman drawings to the internet. While Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Daisy were interested in it, Wario and Waluigi were bored out of their wits.

"We're bored!" Both 'Wario Bros.' cried in unison, "How much longer is this ride?"

"Stop complaining you guys!" Peach replied non-too-happily, "The cars haven't even turned around yet! We're only about half way through!"

"... ... ... We're bored! How much longer is this ride?"

This continued throughout the rest of the attraction, much to the dismay of everyone else. When the ride finally ended, the 'Wario Bros.' didn't skip a beat.

"So," they both said in unison, "What are we going on next?"

Mario just shook his head and sighed.

"Visiting an educational park with a bunch of dummies... This is going to be a loooong day..."
