Chapter 4: Translation!
Mario stirred in his bed from the ringing of the phone. He opened his eyes and looked at his alarm clock: it was 2:00 A.M. The phone rang again.
"Who could be calling at this time." grumbled Green Yoshi from downstairs. He got up from the sofa he slept in and dragged himself upstairs.
The third ringing woke up Luigi, who jerked up as if he had a nightmare.
"Who is it?" asked Luigi.
"It must be important if they're willing to wake us up at two in the morning!" complained Green Yoshi.
Mario picked up the phone. Yoshi and Luigi stood still to listen.
"Is this Mario?" said a lady-like voice from the phone.
"Yes," hesitated Mario.
"Your flight has been cancelled."
A eerie silence haunted the room.
"What!" roared Mario over the phone.
Yoshi and Luigi cringed from the sudden anger of Mario.
"I'm sorry sir; your flight is having an engine problem. The flight will be delayed for two months."
"Is there another flight!" panicked Mario.
"I'm sorry sir, all flight have been taken. The earliest flight available is in five months."
"But why?"
"Millions of spectators use our service to go see the Super Smash Bros tournaments. You will have to wait five months."
"No! Can't you see we're in the Brawl!"
"I'm sorry sir; we can't do anything about that. Spaceships are very expensive to travel with and it requires a lot of preparation. Try calling another travel agent."
"But this is the only service that comes to the Mushroom Kingdom, let alone this planet!" complained Mario.
"I can't help you sir, we'll refund your money. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
Mario slammed the phone. He crossed his arms and sat on the side of his bed. Yoshi and Luigi were frustrated as well.
"We should call Kirby. He won't be able to come as well because we were supposed to pick him up." reminded Yoshi.
"Let's go to Peach's castle, her phone can call other planets. Do you still have Kirby's number, Luigi?"
Luigi took out an address book from seemingly out of nowhere. He flipped through the pages. Luigi came over to Mario and pointed to Kirby's number.
Mario Luigi and Yoshi took off to Princess Peach's castle.

"Mam," interrupted a toad from Princess Peach's sleep. Peach rose from her royal bed and glared at the toad.
"What is it?" she mumbled.
"Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi are here and they need to speak with you urgently." he added.
Princess Peach rose from her bed and walked towards the entrance of the castle. Mario, Luigi and Yoshi stood at the base of the stairs, awaiting Peach to enter from upstairs.
"What is it?" asked Peach as she entered the room. She walked down the stairs and looked at the trio.
"The flight is cancelled." Mario stated.
"Oh no!" Peach gasped as she covered her mouth in surprise.
"We have to call Kirby." said Green Yoshi.
"Of course!" said Peach.
They followed the princess into a room on the first floor. They entered a large room with a large portrait of a bo-omb that hung on the opposite side of the room. They walked down the small steps and sat on the round sofa that surrounded the telephone, which stood on a coffee. They all leaned towards the Yoshi who held the phone. Green Yoshi dialed the number and held the phone over his "ears."
Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi!" greeted the Yoshi over the phone.
"Poyo!" responded a voice from the phone.
"Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi…" said Yoshi in a more serious tone.
"poyo," gasped the voice from the phone.
"Yoshi," said the Yoshi in an apologetic tone.
"Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo!" said the voice cheerfully.
"Yoshi!" hollered the Yoshi in excitement.
"Mario, Kirby can give us a ride!" exclaimed Yoshi.
"You mean Kirby owns a spaceship?" asked Mario.
Yoshi place his "ear" back on the phone and listened to Kirby. They exchanged many "Yoshi" and "Poyo". Then, the Yoshi smiled.
"Kirby said he will come pick us up today at 6:30 P.M!" exclaimed Green Yoshi.
"I will notify the kingdom!" said Peach.
"I think we should tell Bowser and Wario." said Green Yoshi.
"\Yeah, " sighed Mario.
"Call now." said the Yoshi.
"Peach you call! Bowser is not going to listen to me!" demanded Mario.
Princess Peach dialed the phone and placed the phone over her ear.
"hellllooo!" greeted Bowser over the phone as a stupid attempt to flirt with the princess.
"The flight is cancelled, Kirby will give us a ride at 6:30 P.M today. Bye!" blurted out Peach who then slammed the phone.
"He flirted with you didn't he?" said Mario."you don't understand." said Peach with her eyes wide open.
"So Yoshi, how can you understand Kirby!" interrupted the once quiet Luigi.
"And Pokemons, I remember seeing you talk to Pikachu when you both first met!" added Mario.
"How do you understand?" repeated Luigi.
Silence haunted the room.
"We communicate with each other by varying our pitch. In other words, we talk by how we say the word, not what we say." explained the Yoshi who broke the awkward silence.
"The words you hear are actually accents." added the Yoshi.
"Call Wario!" reminded Luigi.
Peach picked up the phone and dialed Wario's number.
_ _ _ _ _
Wario was busy using the toilet when the phone rang.
"Waluigi! Answer the damn phone!" yelled Wario.
Waluigi grumbled some colorful language and picked up the phone.
"Damn Wario! You stunk up the bathroom. I can smell it from the living room!" complained Waluigi, not knowing that Peach was listening from the phone. Mario, Luigi and Yoshi snickered from the other side.
_ _ _ _ _
"I feel so sorry for whoever is going to share room with that monster." said Green Yoshi.
"Hello, the 4:30 A.M flight is cancelled, but Kirby found a ride for us and he is going to pick us up at 6:30 P.M. Sleep tight." blurted Peach and she slammed the phone.
"Don't worry, I already called Link and Zelda from my cell." said Mario.
"Anyone else missing?" said Peach.
"Nope." said Mario. "The other brawler have their own ride. Samus, Fox, Falco, and Capt. Falcon have their own ride and they are picking up other Brawler that don't have a ride."
"Can't believe Master Hand chose Wario!" cried Peach.
"Hey, there will be more new comers this year, so we shouldn't be surprised to at tMaster Hand's choice." said Mario.
"I feel sorry for Ness and Kirby, they are the only one representing their own planet." said Luigi.
"I know Ness is going to bring someone, he told me." said Mario.
"Kirby said he is going to bring the ruler of his town and a friend of his." said the Yoshi.
"I heard about King DeDeDe! He is such an idiot!" laughed Mario.
"What about his friend?" said Luigi.
"I don't know, all I heard that he serves King DeDeDe." said the Yoshi.
"Only a idiot would serve that idiot, then again, they are from Kirby's planet." said Mario.
"Don't make fun of Kirby, remember, he was in the semi-final." reminded the Yoshi.
"Oh that's right, he's your friend! That's would explain."
"Mario.""I was only joking, but I do agree about Kirby's choice of friends." said Mario.
"That would explain why he's your best friend!" said Yoshi.
"Shut up."
"I mean it in a good way, Kirby is very strong, but Kirby told me that someone trained him. I think it is his friend."
"King DeDeDe."
"Not that idiot, the other one."
"This friend of Kirby must be very strong. " said Peach.
"This year is become very interesting." said Mario.
"Marth is also bring another friend. Roy didn't come this year." said Luigi.
"Master Hand said that there will also be Brawlers from other places that we never heard of." said Peach.
"I can't wait for tomorrow." said Mario.

Well hope you enjoyed this chapter. It's more of those explanatory chapter. Just wait until the next chapter. This is my theory of how the language of repetitive words works. Sorry that the brawlers were only mentioned. It is so hard to write a story on 30 + characters, with unique personalities!
The koopalings will be back next chapter, but that will be the last chapter that they will be mentioned. That will be the day that Mario and his pals go to the super smash bros brawl! I can't wait to write about that!
This is more of a filler chapter and an explanation chapter. ^_^ Expect a quick update!
Please excuse my rude behavior last chapter. I just love to read reviews! (and I just like to complain) It just shows me that you are actually reading it! I am addicted to my email because I get a LOT of email from Fanfiction. I love to hear from you. Don't worry, even if you're too shy, I will continue to update. I just love to write this story. My first romance! Writing is my favorite hobby!
Wow, I can't believe a single review perked me up! Thanks reviewer!
