"So, what next, Waluigi?" Mario asked as they walked though Asia.

"Grr… How am I supposed to know?"

"You were the one who researched this place in the guidebook!"

"Not like I had any choice thanks to the Disney Nazi over there…"

"What was that?" Peach interrupted, glaring at Waluigi.

"I mean… Um… You didn't hear anything, get your hearing checked! Anyway… The guide says we should go on Kali River Rapids next, 'cuz the line gets really long later in the day."

"But isn't that a wet ride?" Luigi remembered.

"Yeah, what's your point?"

"It isn't all that hot out yet. Shouldn't we wait until it's hot out so we can go on and cool off?"

"Weren't you listening, stupid? We can't go on later because the line will be to long!"

"What about a FastPass?" Daisy suggested.

"Eh? What about it?"

"Well…" Daisy explained, "If we get one now, by the time we have come back to ride, it will be hot out!"

"Yeah, but… Um… Er… That's just stupid!"

"You just don't want to admit you just got beaten by a girl, do you?" Peach teased.

"Grr… Fine! You win! But if anything goes wrong, it ain't my fault!"

The group walked over to Kali River Rapids (with Wario yelling at Waluigi the entire way for giving in so easily) and got their FastPasses, which weren't for much later in the day. In the meantime, the park was just opening for all the guests not staying at a Disney resort, and it was beginning to fill up quickly.

"Uh oh…" Luigi murmured, "Are there any more big rides at this park? We better do 'em before it gets too crowded!"

"Oh yeah…" Waluigi responded with a sly grin, "There's this little ride in Dinoland U.S.A., called Dinosaur, that's quite popular. It's a dark ride… You know, like the rides in Fantasyland. You should have no trouble riding it, pal."

"How dumb do you think I am?" Luigi chuckled sarcastically as they began making their way over to the attraction.

"Do you really want him to answer that?" Mario replied.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That's an awfully big jeep…"

"They're called 'Time Rovers', Luigi."

"Oh, yeah… Right, Peach."

The group had already made their way through Dinosaur's waiting queue and the preshow room and was now waiting to board the ride vehicles. Apparently, they were on a 'secret' mission to go back in time and capture an iguanodon and get out before the infamous meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs stuck the earth.

"So let me get this straight…" Wario groaned, "We're gonna go risk our lives, probably nearly get eaten by a T-Rex or obliterated by a giant rock or something, just to bring back a prehistoric yoshi?"

"Iguanodon," Mario corrected.

"Whatever! And who's the idiot that decided to send us to about five minutes before it hits, anyway? Can't we go a little earlier, like… I dunno… a YEAR before it hits?"

"Oh wow…" Daisy gasped in mock surprise, "Did Wario actually ask an intelligent question?"

"I always ask intelligent questions!" Wario retorted, "People should listen to me more often! I'm…"

SHOVE!

"Wah! What was that for?" Wario, who was now lying face-down in a seat of the Time Rover, shouted.

"You were getting annoying. Is it ever any other reason?" Daisy replied with a playful smirk.

After everyone else got in the car, it set off into a 'time portal' and soon they were in the prehistoric times.

"Okie dokie," Mario murmured, sitting in the car's driver seat, "let's go find that dinosaur!"

"Right…" Waluigi grunted, "It's not like we'll find him no matter what…"

The jeep roared through the ancient jungle, weaving past (and, sometimes, over) other dinosaurs, but none of them were the iguanodon. Eventually, they stumbled across one creature that was definitely not the one they were looking for: A huge, carnivorous brute with sharp horns and even sharper fangs.

"Gulp… Y… Y… Yoshi? Is that you?..." Luigi stuttered.

"Nope…" Mario answered, "… Unless he's been taking styling tips from Giga Bowser…"

The Time Rover sped off, with the carnotaurus in hot pursuit. Despite their best efforts, the hulking dinosaur was always one step behind them, and they still hadn't found their iguanodon, and the meteor was coming closer!

"Hey, didn't I tell you we would be nearly eaten by a dinosaur and obliterated by a meteor?" Wario reminded.

"Oh, can it, Wario!" Peach hissed.

Soon, it seemed like finding their dino was hopeless. There was less than a minute left until the meteor impact, and there was still no sign of the iguanodon. However, moments before the mission was aborted, they finally found him squaring off with the carnotaurus!

"We found him!" Luigi shouted, "Let's get outta here!"

"You got it, bro!" Mario replied, "Let's-a go!"

They couldn't have cut it any closer. By the time the time portal re-opened, the meteor was clearly visible descending from the sky. After barely escaping extinction, the group found that the iguanodon had, indeed, come back with them… And was now running around in the Dino Institute, causing mayhem in general.

"Phew… That was a close one," Daisy muttered as they left the attraction, "So how did you like it, Luigi?"

"Well, it wasn't quite as bad as I would have thought," Luigi answered with a shrug, "with that giant dinosaur and all… Maybe I'm just used to dinos thanks to Yoshi or something."

"Or maybe you're just getting a little bit braver!" Daisy suggested, ruffling Luigi's hair a bit.

"Hey! Knock it off! There's a reason I keep it under a hat, you know!"

While the couple was talking, Mario and Peach, who had just finished up buying the obligatory souvenir photo, where watching them from inside the gift shop.

"They really are meant for each other, aren't they?" Peach asked.

"Yeah," Mario replied, thinking about how closely their relationship reflected his with Peach, "they really are."
