Waluigi's mind was taken by what could possibly be in the chest. It was locked, there are no key drops in Mario games, and most of the keys that exist normally either open doors or random locks that float and then open a path to a new level. Could this chest possibly contain a bonus level? Blalex walks with him quietly as they just start to wander, Waluigi really can't focus, his mind is far too preoccupied. This was a bad habit of his, living alone all the time made him find ways to stay busy, and one of those ways was puzzle games; this chest was the ultimate puzzle game for him right now. It takes Blalex a while to speak up about wanting to do something other than just walk.
During that time where Blalex kept her mouth shut about wanting to do other things, Toadsworth finds Mario and Luigi in an autograph booth. Many toads yell with a high pitched annoying howl, but Toadsworth's voice was akin to Morgan Freeman's sweet sweet caramel, except older. "Master Mario! Are you aware that the fire work show spelled annually wrong?" He spurts out like a true gentleman that is upset by a miss spelling; Mario signs another autograph before he leaves the stand to confront Toadsworth in private. "Yahoo?" Mario says quietly, "You're too right Mario," Toadsworth quickly responds, "People are starting to question your intelligence after that mess up." Mario jumps a few times in place, his expression doesn't change, just like it almost never does, "Wahoo?!" he finally blurts out at Toadsworth, "Master Mario, do contain yourself, there are children here," not to mention those young readers whom found this story, I'm sorry for his harsh language. Mario rubs the back of his head under his hat and looks down, as he does, he notices something strange about Toadsworth's shoes, those aren't toad shoes, those are a pair of Mario's shoes. Mario suddenly looks a little angry, he's been looking for his missing shoes for a week, only to find they were stolen by the man trusted to guard and watch Princess Peach? Unbelievable! Mario grabs Toadsworth by the top of his mushroom head and lifts up, but his head pops off, it was a fake, the mushroom head under the fake one is non other than T. James. He looks up at Mario, wondering how he saw though that disguise so quickly. No time can be wasted now, T. James quickly takes the star out of his inventory forces Mario to use it, "Owwhhaa?!" Mario says as his eyes start to light up, the autograph booth was rather dark and this sudden change of light was not expected; Mario is dazed, nearly unable to move for the time being. T. James does the ultimate toad taboo while Mario has a moment of weakness; every toad can turn into a mushroom of equal value to their head spots, T. James was born with green head spots, allowing him to turn into a 1-up mushroom. The process is rather simple, his head slumps off of his body and his body turns into star dust that sprinkles over himself to give his head the 1-up power, then his mouth dissipates. As do all mushrooms, T. James starts to slide around the floor aimlessly until he bumps into Mario's left leg and forces Mario to absorb him. When Mario recovers, he looks around to notice he is alone in here, he imitatively decides to himself that he was just seeing things, it's hard to keep Mario focused when the Princess isn't on the line, so he just waits for the star to wear off and then goes back to sigh more autographs.
Wario wanders around the carnival aimlessly, wondering why he came in the first place, till it dawns on him that he could probably steal things very easily here. He pats his belly and holds in both his laughter and his gas as he looks around for a victim to steal from. Wario spots a few toads in either fancy suits or lacy dresses, decisions decisions. Right as he is about to pick a wallet out of some unlucky toad's pocket, he notices a sparkle in his peripheral vision. He takes the wallet anyway before investigating the sparkle, could be gold right? For some odd reason, the sparkle is moving, he can't see where it's coming from but he can see where it's going. Like a moth to a bug zapper, Wario is just raring to take any consequence to find what this bright light means. After going behind and between at least fifteen different stands and under a roller coaster, he finds the origin of this sparkle; it's a star in the dirt, not dirty, just in the dirt. He picks it up and slides it in his pocket, a little disapointed at such a small pay load, he just sold one of these for a very small profit. "Wah... One day that kind of thing will lead me to the big waaahhhlets," he reassures himself. It takes him ten full minutes to remember that stars only appear like that in the wild for two reasons, and it surely wasn't raining stars. Someone near by must have used a star. "Wahht could that kid be up to with a star around here?" no real enemies showed up, other than Wario of course, but he's trusted enough in a crowed area, everyone knows that he isn't crazy enough to do something big here, just petty things. Wario leaves the area, returning back into the carnival area.
Waluigi hates roller coasters, he hates them, hate. Those metal death traps are just a legal way to tell someone to pee themselves, but the piss is blood. When Blalex says she wants to ride a roller coaster, Waluigi agrees; he isn't about to ruin what they have because he is afraid of something that he does know, and will admit, is safe. They get in line for a simple one, just a few cork screws, but Blalex really does love the roller coasters that go upside down, simplicity aside, it has what she wants. Waluigi spends the whole time in line trying to stop himself from letting lose the yellow or red, or both, urine from his body. They wait an extra half minute to get in the front car for maximum enjoyment. Waluigi's legs are a bit too large to fit in the cart properly but he hides it well enough for non of the staff to notice, then promptly, the cart starts to move along the track. At first it's just a gentle slope to get the cart off the ground, already Waluigi's arms start to wiggle like cooked pasta all over the place; they flail and flex and twist around wildly. Once they get to the top of the hill, Waluigi grabs onto his head and starts to wail out with his voice, "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Blalex starts to lose herself, laughing, wheezing, chuckling, she's having a blast, in fact, she's laughing so much and he's panicking so much that neither of them noticed themselves ride the ride, each cork screw was ignored for more yelling of either fear or laughter. When the ride stops, a staff member has to walk up to them to say they have to leave. Waluigi rubs the back of his head as he gets out of the cart. Blalex almost falls over after she climbs out, luckily she catches herself because Waluigi was hyperventilating too much to even see an inch in front of his face.
Blalex decides she's been Hitler enough today and wont make Waluigi ride any more rides, the poor boy smells like sweat, and hopefully that isn't actually urine in his pants. It wasn't, but it sure looked like it; Unluckily for him, his sweat pooled up on his lap instead of flinging away through the cork screws. Everything seemed to be going well for the both of them, despite Waluigi's bout with the devil, he had fun because he knows how much Blalex appreciated what he did, even if it was insulting how much she laughed; that just means it was really funny and he did a good job. "You can pick the next ride if you want, if there is a ride here that you like," She says innocently enough, though that does do a number on Waluigi's pride, until he notices it, the perfect ride. Probably the single greatest ride ever created, the Ferris Wheel. He points to it with his still wobbly arm, Blalex nods, agreeing that it looks like the perfect ride for him, and probably a good break for his heart so he doesn't have a heart attack. They walk over to it, there isn't a line or someone running this ride. Waluigi calls out with his normal call, "Wahire is everyone?!" but he doesn't get an answer from anyone at all, this Ferris Wheel is creepily far away from the carnival, almost out of bounds. What is up with this wheel? Why did T. James kill himself? What will Wario do with the knowledge he found? Whats in the treasure chest? All that and maybe more, if you stay tuned!
