Waluigi knows how to run a Ferris Wheel, it's very simple actually; the tricky part is starting it and then getting into it before the seat you want is out of your jumping range. Blalex gets into the holding cart nearest to the ground as Waluigi flips the proper switch to turn on the Ferris wheel. How does he know which one is the proper switch? There are only two, one starts the ride, the other halts it. The wheel starts to spin slowly, Waluigi effortlessly does a flip and lands in the seat next to Blalex without touching her. She giggles at how dumb and cheesy that was, even though she thought it was amazing. The wheel slowly brings the two up higher and higher, Waluigi starts to panic a little. Despite how gentle this ride moves, that doesn't cure his fear of high places. Blalex looks out the side of the wheel when they get high enough to pass the cloud line, which isn't that high, but still. As she leans to look out better, she moves one of her hands over for better leverage, her pinkie finger bumps into Waluigi's hand, he shoots up, straight as a pencil. His hand remains where it was, still in direct contact with Blalex's pinkie finger. Such a small, simple touch, sends Waluigi's mind into a haze, "Wahi..." is all he can choke out silently as he starts to actually start choking. He heaves himself over and grabs at his stomach as he tries to get his breath back, though that may have proved to be the key. Blalex quickly stops leaning away and instead gets right next to him, her side against his. She pats his back, "What the fudge happened?!" only she didn't say fudge, if you catch my drift. Such immediate concern, such care, much... love? Waluigi stops choking as that idea crosses his mind, he straightens himself back out and looks at Blalex. They make eye contact, Waluigi's eyes have a certain twinkle to them right now, Blalex are soon to share that same description. Neither of them say anything, not even after the Ferris wheel passes it's highest point, which might have actually caused Waluigi to piss himself if he had noticed.
"Can I ask you something, Waluigi?" as Blalex says that, her eyes twinkle a little brighter, "Wahit do you want to ask me?" Waluigi doesn't skip a beat in his question. Blalex scoots into his side a little bit more, "What is this?" Waluigi ponders for a second, though he doesn't break eye contact. What could she mean, this as in the carnival visit, or this as in the ride? He decides to guess it's the carnival visit. Waluigi musters up every single last inch of his remaining pride and courage to say what he wants it to be, though he isn't sure if it really is; "A date."
It doesn't take long for Wario to put two and two together; Well, it doesn't take long based on his normal track record. He's put enough of the pieces together to assume T. James is going to off himself in order to turn into a 1-up mushroom. Wario starts to run around the carnival frantically, looking for T. James high and low. Cloves of garlic, loose coins, packets of barbecue sauce, wahhhlets, and empty jars of mustache wax slip out of his pockets as he waddles around as fast as his little legs will take him. He isn't sure why he cares, maybe because it's illegal to let a toad do that, maybe because he liked T. James enough to want him to stay alive. Whatever the case, he wants to find T. James. As he is running, he bumps into Mail Toad, they both fall over onto their backs, "Wahhhtch where you're going! Some of us are in a hurry!" Wario growls out as he dusts off the front of his body, the part of his body that didn't fall in the dirt. Mail Toad can't get up so he just lays down, "SOME OF US ARE LOOKING FOR LOST FAMILY MEMBERS!" Wario helps him up, off of the ground, he holds him up by the cusp of his vest, "Waht family member?" it is a toad, aren't they all family or something dumb and sappy like that? "MY SON IS STILL MISSING DAMN IT!" sorry for the harsh language, but he really misses his son and values his wife's happiness. Wario sets the toad down on his feet, "I'm looking for a mushroom kid too, T. James, you seen him?" The Mail Toad named Mail Toad shakes his head, "I HATE THAT LITTLE MENACE," Then they part ways; off to find their respective young toad.
As Mario signs his last autograph, he and his brother stand to start stretching. Neither of them are used to sitting still for so long, unless it's on a yoshi's back. They high five and do a pose with each other, something they'd normally do after a long boss battle, then head into their shared dressing room. Princess Peach and Princess Daisy await them, they share hugs with their respective princesses before they sit down on couches opposite of each other. "This carnival was a great idea Mario," Peach says, as she often does, always looking for an excuse to complement Mario. "Hi I'm Daisy" Daisy states; after that freak volley ball accident, that's all she can say. Luigi still loves her despite that, look at him and Mario, they can't even use words to begin with. Mario nods, then is quick to blush just a little when Peach kisses him on the cheek. Peach begins to talk to the brothers and Daisy; Peach has also gone a little insane too, after all, she is the only human left that can speak English, other than evil characters or Blalex, whom is too introvert to leave her house. Due to Peach's insanity, she doesn't mind that she is basically talking to herself except sometimes she gets a `wahoo` or `yah` from Mario. Luigi tries to talk a little bit sometimes, but it's very hard for him to say more than `oh yea` with no real context to what he could be saying `oh yea` about. T. James watches from the inside of Mario's brain, waiting, learning, studying how they act together.
"A date?" Blalex says in a slightly weaker voice. Waluigi nods and hopes that she doesn't hate him now. Things go silent, the eye contact is slowly broken as they both look down to their feet. Blalex wants to call it that too, but she isn't sure if she can; Waluigi wants to say something, but he fears that he'll ruin things even more than he might have already. The Ferris wheel takes them around one more time before it auto halts, letting them off the ride easy just with a simple jump, but neither of them do it. As if they were connected in body and mind, they both hug onto each other at the same time. They needed this, the coincidence that they both needed it at the same time made the moment perfect. "I love you," they both say at the same time, which only causes them to hug each other tighter. Waluigi picks Blalex up like a princess and hops both of them out of the Ferris wheel before he starts to walk them back home; the carnival has no more to offer either of them.
Wario finds the dressing room for the Mario brothers and farts his way in. Don't expect me to describe how that went down, you're crazy if you think I'll do that. Never the less, the door is no longer on its hinges and the room smells like Bowser before an acid shower during a heat wave in the desert. The princesses pass out, but the Mario brothers are quick to spring into action. They strike battle poses, ready to attack Wario, but today is different. Wario puts his hands up. The two brothers lose their battle poses and walk up to Wario, they pat him down just a little bit, neither of them want to touch him and he normally uses his bob-ombs right away. "Mario! You have a toad-up!" Wario blurts out after they see he is clean. Mario jumps back, Luigi stays still, frozen in place. "WAHHA?!" Mario shrieks out, Wario just nods, "A toad stole my power star! He wore clothes like you and kept talking about you all the time!" Wario hates to be wrong, so he likes to lie a lot so he sounds like he is right, even if he isn't. Luigi runs up to Mario's side to try and comfort his brother, but it's too late, Mario jumps away from Luigi, then just starts to jump around everywhere, absolutely delirious. He jumps and jumps and jumps, he doesn't destroy anything, he doesn't stomp anything, he just jumps around the room in a circle. Luigi grabs the sides of his hat and pulls down, trying to hide his eyes as he starts to shake in fear. Wario rubs his face and growls, in his anger he punches Mario out of the air, through the wall, into the lava lotus bush behind the dressing room. It doesn't take long for Mario to get hit, his reserve power up didn't even have time to fall down from the blue box in the sky. Mario's dead body jumps up, then falls into the fore ground off of the plane of existence. Wario starts to panic again, oops! He might have just ruined his warning. It'll also be obvious very soon if Wario was wrong, two things he didn't want to happen. Wario picks up Luigi and tosses him into the lava lotus too. Luigi didn't even have a power up in reserve, so he dies as well. What the heck just happened? Is Wario also crazy? Will Princess Peach ever regain her sanity? Will this story ever be about Blalex and Waluigi again? Stay tuned.
