Mario flew with the star all the way back to Rosalina's comet observatory. While Mario landed on the plexiglass floor tile again, the star traveled to the very center of the observatory, where it entered a large orb that grew upon contact. Mario felt Rosalina's presence behind him.

"Amazing…" she said, "you have done so well, Mario. The grand star you retrieved has relit the fountain and kitchen pods."

"Whatever I can do to help." Mario said.

"I have some news for you, Mario. A group of men landed on my observatory. I am frequently visited by strange men, and I usually throw them in the furnace. But one of them reminded me of you." Mario's heart sank. "He was wearing the same clothes, only green, and he was with a group of mushroom-headed servants. I am having a ship built for them, and they are all watching by engineering pad."

"You should have just thrown them in the furnace…"

Mario took a visit to the outdoor garage, where he laid eyes once again at the most horrific sight in the galaxy; he wished Luigi would have burnt in the fire, or at very least been left in the Mushroom Kingdom.

"Mario!" Luigi exclaimed as he ran and gave his brother a big bear hug, "Mario, I'm so glad to see you! You left a fire on in your house and it burned. I did my best to put it out Mario, but now it's in space!" Mario couldn't help but notice something small and hard pressed up against his waist as Luigi hugged him.

"Oh, come on!" Mario screamed.

"Mario, check out this neat thing I found!" Luigi reached into his pants and took out the small hard thing; it was another Luma, like Mario's only a gold color and a somewhat idiotic expression on its face. "Isn't this great, Mario? Now we can travel the galaxy together!"

"No Luigi, you have to stay with Big Pop Daddy King Toad and his sex slaves."

"Escuse me?" Big Pop Daddy King Toad hopped out of a partially completed mushroom-shaped space craft, followed by each and every one of the Pimp Daddy's sex slaves. "First of all, these ain't my sex slaves, they my old man's sex slaves. Second of all, I say-ed I'd get your brother and help you find stars; I didn't say nothin' about keeping Luigi with me."

"Wait, Big Pop Daddy King Toad! If you take him I swear I'll let you have sex with Peach! Trust me, she's a blond bimbo; I'll just give you my hat and overalls and she won't even know the difference!"

"Well you're probably right, but this time it just ain't worth it. Nothin's worth taking him. Now let me finish my star ship, and we'll get you some of them stars. But Luigi is your problem!"

Mario sighed as Luigi put a hand on his shoulder. This just put Mario into a deeper state of despair. He decided to find his next galaxy to visit while Luigi blabbed to him.

"And then I saw the yellow letters in the sky," Luigi went on, "And then YOU saw the comet and you thought the princess wanted to make a porno!" He laughed.

"Luigi!" Mario yelled.

"Yeah, Mario?"

"Shut the fuck up! This is the next galaxy we need to go to... Honey Hive…" Mario hopped through the launch star, followed uncomfortably closely by Luigi. The star blasted them to a planet filled with green grass, rocks rolling off the landscape, and giant oversized bees! Mario grinned. Luigi was allergic to bees. And Luigi didn't even know it.

"Okay Luigi, there's something I need you to do for me."

"Okay, Mario, whatever you want!"

"We're gonna need some mushrooms. But these bees have all the mushrooms in the galaxy. So I need you to very carefully get some mushrooms from the bees. And be careful not to make them mad."

"Okay, I think I can do that!" Luigi ran up to the nearest bee. "Excuse me, sir; do you happen to have a pair of mushrooms I may borrow?"

"Why certainly, my good sir!" the bee replied, "Why, I'd be willing to give anything away to a lad as polite and dashing as yourself! Anything!"

"Meeeow!" said Luigi as the bee handed him two mushrooms, "Thanks!"

"What the fuck?" Mario said to himself. Luigi never listens to Mario; he should have angered the bee into stinging him. Luigi threw one of the mushrooms to Mario, who wasn't paying attention. The odd mushroom was yellow and fuzzy like a bee. Also like a bee, it had a small stinger on the bottom. It was this stinger that happened to hit Mario right in the gluteus maximus. "YEEEOWWW!" Mario yelled and jumped up in the air. When he landed, he found himself balanced on something sticking out of the ground. He looked down to see that it was a stinger.

"No…" Mario said as he uprooted himself. He noticed that he was covered in black and yellow fuz. "No, no no! I'm a bee!"

"And I'm a spriiiing!" Luigi yelled, having eaten his mushroom. Mario saw the now spring-clad Luigi bounce right into him like Tigger bounced on Pooh.

"Luigi, I'm gonna sting the shit out of you!" Mario yelled as they flew through the air.

"But isn't it great we have this time together?" Luigi responded nonchalantly. The brothers landed right in front of a pool of water. When they looked up Mario wanted to hurl, while Luigi's "spring" sprung upwards. Hovering above them was a giant half bee, half woman with pinkish makeup and a big round body. The Queen Bee.

"Well!" she said in a loud, regal sounding voice, "I haven't seen a young burling patch of pollen like yourself in quite some time!" she said, looking at the two while seductively licking her lips.

"Why thank you, ma'am!" said Luigi, "I combed my hair on my own this morning." Luigi didn't realize that his hair didn't matter since his hat covered it.

"I'm not talking to you, spring boy! I'm looking at that fine fella in the black and yella'!"

"NO!" Mario said, "Not me!"

"Yesss! You!" said the Queen, who was growing more excited by the moment at the sight of Mario. "We've all started out like you; human. These mushrooms have transformed us though; soon you will become like us; full bee-people and it will be irreversible."

"No! Please, there must be something! I can't be a bee; the Princess will never be able to handle this giant stinger!"

"Luckily, you can still be cured. All you need is a power star, and the fuzz will be zapped off. I have a power star, but I'll need something from you if you want it from me…"

"Please tell me it doesn't involve my stinger touching your stinger…" Mario said, taking note of the massive stinger between the Queen Bee's legs.

"No, no… crawl on me!" shouted the Queen, "Come up here and crawl on me! I need to feel your fuzz all over my fuzz."

Mario sighed. He felt like a prostitute, but he saw no other way out of the situation; he needed that star, and more importantly he needed a cure of his bee disease. So he used his bee wings to fly up and satisfy the Queen Bee's crawling fetish.

"Oh, yes… get my back… yeah that's the spot," the queen said, "yeah, right there… now under the arms…" Mario grew deeply disturbed, but continued for several minutes. Suddenly, a power star flew out from somewhere on the queen bee as she finally allowed Mario to stop. "That was incredible! Do come back and visit sometime…"

Mario quickly detached himself from the queen bee. Luigi took notice of the star.

"Mario! I found a star!" Luigi yelled.

"Luigi, do NOT get that star!"

"Okay, I got it!" Luigi said. He used his spring power to grab the star. Mario screamed and as he floated down, he was met by the force of Luigi traveling at the speed of light with the star. The force managed to knock all of Mario's bee fuzz off, as well as nearly dethatching his jaw bone. It similarly got rid of Luigi's springiness. Mario managed to grab onto Luigi's foot before losing consciousness. He seemed to be getting knocked out a lot lately.
