Miss Grimwood was placing a silver platter with a lid over it on a table outside. The disembodied hand brought up a silver bell & rung it.

"Come & Get it, my little ones!" She called. With that, Toad, Booigi, Luigi, Mario (who had been woken up by the classic mealtime call), & Prof. Gadd, who was up already, rushed to the table & took some seats. The Mario Bros. Eyed the platter & their tongues hung out, drooling.

"Mama-mia." Mario said. "I can't-a wait. Smells-a good."

"Yeah." Luigi said as he & Mario put on some bibs. "Running sure works up an appetite. Am I-a right?"

"You definitely are, Luigi." Toad replied, placing on a bib. The disembodied hand then lifted the lid off, revealing several large raw steaks. Mario's & Luigi's eyes widened at the sight of the steaks.

"Oh boy." Luigi said. "Sweet sweet succulent-a steaks. & all-a for us."

"It's-a chowtime!" Mario said, reaching his for up to plunge it into the steaks. However, at the last minute, Miss Grimwood reached out & took the platter with the steaks on them before Mario's fork could touch them, causing the fork to get stuck in the table wood.

"Why yes, it is chow time." Miss Grimwood replied, walking towards 3 large plants. The plants in question looked like giant Venus Flytraps with the "heads" a peculiar tint of brown. "& I'm certain my garden will love what I prepared for it." She walked up to the plants & the disembodied hand grabbed a steak off of the platter. "Come & get it!" She called. The disembodied hand then tossed the steak at the plants. 1 of the reached out & caught it in its mouth & ate it. Mario, Luigi, & Toad weren't too happy about this. Luigi turned to Mario, pointing his fork at the giant plants.

"Well how do you like-a that, Mario?" He asked. "We do all-a the work, & the plants get-a to eat. It's-a unbelievable!"

"I know-a!" Mario said, not too happy about it either. "Where is-a OUR stakes!?" Professor E. Gadd however, was too busy looking at the giant plants to complain. He got up from his seat & walked over to them with awe in his eyes.

"Fascinating." He said. "Simply fascinating. I've never seen this species of Venus Flytrap before. It's astonishing." Miss Grimwood looked down at Prof. E. Gadd.

"Of course, Professor Gadd." Miss Grimwood said, presenting the plants to him. "These are Dionaea Muscipula Gigas, Giant Venus Flytraps. Very rare breed of carnivorous plants. They need special care in order to grow." Prof. Gadd looked at the plants with his hand under his chin.

"Truly fascinating." He said. Tanice then walked up to Miss Grimwood.

"Can I feed this one, Miss Grimwood?" She asked, pointing to the plants. "Can I?"

"Of course you can, Tanice." Miss Grimwood said. "But be careful. They sometimes bite the hand that feeds them." As she was saying this, the disembodied hand was holding out a steak to feed to the plants, when a plant closed its mouth around both the steak, & the disembodied hand. The hand pushed against the sides of the mouth, forcing it open. The hand then wound up a fist, punching the plant in retribution. Tanice took a steak & walked up to the plant.

"Don't worry." She said. "I'll be careful." She tossed the steak into the air. It flipped in the air a few times before 1 of the heads grabbed thesteak in mid-air, swallowing it whole without even chewing it. Miss Grimwood came over, not looking pleased with what the plant had just done.

"How many times do I have to tell you?" She scolded, wagging a finger at the plant. "Chew before you swallow." At this, the plant cringed, as if sick. "See?" She said. Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi, Toad, E. Gadd, & Booigi were in the garden.

"Alright-a fellas." Mario said. "Maybe we can-a find something-a to eat in this-a garden." Luigi placed his hand over his belly hungrily.

"I hope-a so, Mario." Luigi said. "I'm-a starving." With that, the 4 began rooting around the garden for anything that, to them, would qualify as food. Toad picked up some tomatoes off the ground.

"Hey guys!" He called to the other 4. "I found some tomatoes." However, the tomatoes then burst in his hand. "Some rotten tomatoes." Luigi picked up a squash off the ground.

"Hey guys!" He called. "Over here! I found some-a squash!" However, the squash then burst, spraying all over Luigi until the whole thing was flat. Luigi wiped the squash innards off his face, then looked at the flat squash in his hands. "Yuck." He muttered. "Some-a squished squash." Professor E. Gadd was looking through the garden & saw some watermelons. He poked 1, but it flew around the air like a balloon, until it was out of air, & very small.

"Oh my goodness." He said. "These watermelons have expired." At that, Winnie & Sybella, noticing Mario & Luigi in the garden, walked over to Luigi, getting his attention.

"Girls." Luigi said, noticing them. "What's-a wrong with this-a garden. Everything in it is-a completely rotton."

"Thanks." Sybella said. "We do our best. Heh." Miss Grimwood & Elsa then walked over to the corn, near the only fresh stalk in the garden.

"But every so often, something fresh sneaks in." Miss Grimwood says as Elsa pulls out the fresh stalk & throws it away. "Thank you, Elsa." She said.

"Ripe corn." Elsa said. "Yuck!" Mario however, was watching Elsa when she had removed the corn.

"CORN!!" Mario shouted. He ran over to the corn & grabbed it. He brushed off the dirt that had accumulated on the corn before staring lovingly at it. "Delicious, ripe-a corn." The 3 Grimwood girls however, just stared at him, confused.

"Why does he want that ripe corn?" Winnie said. "That stuff's gross." Luigi turned to Winnie.

"Because we-a can't live off-a your rotten vegetables." Luigi said. "Mario & I prefer ripe-a vegetables." Winnie, & Sybella looked at each other, & then gagged.

"YUCK!!" They gagged.

"You guys sure are weird." Winnie said. Luigi however, just stared at them.

"Uh huh." He said. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to anybody, a pair of plants with eyes were observing Mario, Luigi, Toad, Booigi, & E. Gadd. The plants fed a view of them into a room containing 2 hideous monsters. The first was a tall green witch with red eyes, buck teeth, green wavy hair, 4 arms, & a long black dress. The second was a short green pickle-textured creature with a single big eye, a crooked mouth, & 4 green root-like limbs protruding from 4 parts of its body. They monitered what they were watching on the circular screen.

"So, the Grimwood Girls have gotten some new teachers, have they?" The witch said. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." The round screen then showed Luigi. "He'll fit perfectly into my plan." The witch said, pointing at him. The green pickle-textured creature then turned to the witch & spoke up.

"It was a good thing I dropped some of my Venus Spytraps into Grimwood's garden." He said. "Hee hee hee hee."

"You have done well, my Grim Creeper." The witch said to the pickle-textured creature, the Grim Creeper "Soon I will have all of those good little girls in my grasp. & then I, Revolta, the witch of the web, will be the most powerful witch, in all of monsterdom. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee" The Grim Creeper laughed as he followed the witch, Revolta. The laughter was joined by some odd-looking bats.
