I love doing the series. My favorite one out of all of them is Doc of All Trades (it's funny, especially the jokes about Dr. Mario being the worst doctor). Did you know Doc of All Trades comes from the saying "Jack of All Trades?" (now the saying is, "Jack of All Trades, Master at None"). Jack of All Trades means someone with many talents, but they're not a master at any of them. This clearly describes Dr. Mario, and a bit of Dr. Toadley. The other titles are clever like that, so try to figure out their origins.
"Come on, get out of bed!"
Starlow was trying to get Dr. Toadley out of bed by pushing his back. Madz was watching the Star Sprite struggling in the small space, also known as his back and the bed. The penguin decided to help Starlow instead of just standing there.
"Want me to pull you out of there?" Madz asked.
"Nope, I can handle it," she said, almost out of breath.
Dr. Toadley knew she couldn't handle it, so he pulled Starlow from behind him and sat up.
"Should you be pushing me? No you shouldn't,"
He let go of Starlow when another sharp pain entered his stomach. He decided to lay down, which the pain turned into an ache. He moaned quietly as Madz was jumping for joy.
"Look, I know it feels bad, but you can get out. I want to see how that intern handles Dr. Mario!" said Starlow. Madz, however, disagreed with her. She stopped jumping and faced Starlow.
"He's sick with some kind of flu, and if he moves, I won't be able to jump and cheer at the same time!"
Knock knock
"Someone's knocking on the door," she said as she flew to the door.
Madz looked at Toadley and smiled. "Oh, you must be sick!" she giggled.
She pulled up his shirt so she could see his belly. She began to rub it gently.
"Do you want me to rub it? Hahaha…you look cute when your sick! Everyone looks cuter when their sick. When Starlow got the chicken pox…"
Madz began her lecture of sick people while rubbing his belly. Oh great, this was like when I was sick that one time… he thought. A year ago, he caught a cold, so Madz came over. She was alone with Toadley, and she told him about the many reasons why she liked sick people. She acted like a happy six year old until Fawful came and took her home. She was acting the same way this time.
When Fawful and Midbus came into the room, Madz stopped talking. Midbus was carrying the whole pot of soup, which was twice the size of Madz. Fawful was carrying absolutely nothing.
"Fawful had the making of soup!" he said. Midbus put the soup pot down lightly and stepped away from it.
"You are the only Toad Fawful has the caring of! I have chortles!"
Dr. Toadley did have some bad memories with this Toad. First of all, he caused the whole entire Blorbs outbreak. Second of all, he has a crazy penguin that loved sick people as a daughter. However, he did hear rumors that he was a great cook. Just thinking about food made his body feel even more sick than he was before.
His face turned green, and his cheeks looked like something was in them. He got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. As he closed the door, Madz was wondering where Starlow was.
"Dad, where did Starlow go?" Madz asked. Fawful was going to say something, but the sound of the doctor throwing up made him listen to the noise.
"FYI! FYI! Birdley will tell you if you let him out the cage!"
It was Birdley, who was still in the cage. Madz had forgot about him for a while. She flew to the lock and unlocked it. The bird flew out of the cage and squawked, "Birdley has freedom!"
He flew on Toadley's bed, so Madz followed him.
"Ok, where's Starlow?" Madz asked.
"FYI! FYI! She's might be at where the intern is!"
Madz went to Fawful with a determined expression. "I'm going to Dr. Mario's clinic!" she told Fawful.
"What?!" he yelled in shock, "You can't have the going to Dr. Mario's! I have shock!"
"But it's something I must do. Also, I invited sick Toads there,"
She flew out the room and out the door. Dr. Toadley came out and went back into his bed.
"Ugh…I feel awful…" he groaned as Fawful put his hand on Toadley's forehead.
"Hmmm, you have the fever…" he noticed. He took his hand off of his forehead and sighed.
"Midbus, have the getting of a wet rag!" he ordered.
Midbus left the room and did what he was told. Dr. Toadley looked at Birdley and sighed. "Will this be a long day? Yes it will…"
At Dr. Mario's clinic, Madz walked in the waiting room. It had chairs close to the walls, with a few in the middle of the room. There were magazines you could read, and in the middle of the left wall, there was a poster saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" On the poster, it was Madz dressed up in a doctor suit running away from giant apples rolling at her. On the middle of the right wall, there was a poster with a virus on it. It had a red circle around it with a red slash going through it, like the one Dr. Toadley had. There was also a counter with Peach in a nurse's costume behind it.
Madz went to the counter and hovered over it. "Have you seen a Star Sprite around here?"
Peach looked at Madz with a smile and cheered, "Welcome to Dr. Mario's clinic! We'll heal your Star Sprites for free! Do you want to heal your Star Sprites?"
"Ummm, no, I wanted to see my Star Sprite because she's here," Madz answered.
"Oh, you want a non-Star Sprite appointment? That's with Dr. Mario, but he's talking to someone. If your sick, we'll let you in,"
Madz was confused why Peach was a nurse in the first place. "Why are you a nurse here? You're a princess!"
"Oh, you mean Princess Peach?" she asked, but it was a rhetorical question, "She's my sister. I'm Nurse Toadstool!"
Madz decided to stop asking and pretended to cough. She moaned and put her flippers on her belly. "I don't feel so good…" she lied. Nurse Toadstool jumped with shock.
"Oh my, you must have the flu! You should go to Dr. Mario quickly!" she ordered as Madz walked to his office.
When Madz got there, the intern and Dr. Mario were arguing. Starlow was watching carefully at the fight, trying to pick up some useful information. The two stopped bickering as Madz walked between them.
"Starlow, you're here!" she cheered while Starlow floated toward her.
"Madz, I have something to tell you," Starlow said firmly, "Are you ready?"
Madz nodded, so Starlow told her what she need to tell her.
"Dr. Mario…caused this whole epidemic,"
Madz was very shocked at this. How did Dr. Mario cause flu season this year? He's not legally a doctor, but he's not that crazy. The intern added on to what Starlow said.
"Dr. Toadley and I predicted when flu season would start, and it was in December. We knew he was right this time, because not that many viruses were here yet. However, Dr. Mario got jealous about all the patients Toadley got, so he released the viruses he was about to destroy. After Princess Peach found out about this, she ordered Dr. Mario to destroy the viruses with Megavitamins, so he did that. However, there were still sick Toads, and we knew the Miracle Cure wouldn't be the solution,"
"The true reason she didn't use the Miracle Cure was because she didn't want Dr. Mario to find out," admitted Starlow.
Dr. Mario listened to everything, and smiled sinisterly. "Madz is the cure to everything? Looks like I get a chance to shine,"
He grabbed Madz and held on to her tightly. "Yes, I'll use her to cure everyone, except my rival. I will be a star, and nothing will stop me!"
Dr. Mario ran out the door and laughed menacingly. Starlow and the intern glanced at each other and looked at the door.
"We're going to study the Miracle Cure, so who knows what power it holds?!" the intern cried out.
"Well, Dr. Toadley seems to know everything, so we should tell him about it!" Starlow realized. "Come on!"
They ran out the door so they can get to Toadley's house. They needed to find out how to stop Dr. Mario before it's too late!
Ok, I know this is late, but I needed to do "Get Well Soon, Starlow". Anyway, I just thought of the climax of the story, and I think it's really good. I didn't plan it like I would usually do, so here's a creative chapter from the top of my head. I hope you like it!
