Chapter 30: Phil Calls In
(Next morning in Phil's room, Daisy woke up and saw Kirby standing on the end of the bed.)
Kirby: Good morning, Daisy.
Daisy: Hi Cutiepuff.
Kirby: Did you sleep well last night?
Daisy: Yeah. Just fine. Thanks.
Kirby: Uh oh. I hope Luigi is okay. He said that he was gonna stay awake and watch over Mario.
Daisy: ...WHAT?
Kirby: Well, apparently Luigi felt guilty about Mario being sick so he decided to look after him during the night.
Daisy: Ah, darn it. I guess we better check on him.
(Daisy and Kirby went downstairs and into the living room. They saw Mario and Luigi sleeping on the bed and hugging each other. Bowser was standing near the bed. He was looking at the bros with his arms folded.)
Daisy: Good morning, Bowser.
Bowser: Oh Hello, Daisy.
Daisy: Is Luigi okay?
Bowser: Sigh...I'm not sure. The poor guy... He turned into a nervous wreck last night. He said something about having weird dreams.
Kirby: Dreams? Really?
Bowser: Yeah. Oh, and if you know what's good for you, don't wake him up. He said that he wants to sleep in and if anyone disturbs him, he'll rip their spine out and slap them in the face with it.
Daisy: Dude, getting a little hostile, huh?
Kirby: Whoa... He must've had some nightmares!
(Suddenly, there was a strange beeping noise.)
Kirby: What was that?
(The beeping sounds again, then Peach ran out of the kitchen.)
Peach: I'll get it!
(Peach picks up Luigi's phone from a nearby table, pressed a button, then talks into it.)
Peach: Hello?
Phil: Hi. This is Phil. May I ask who's speaking?
Peach: Oh. Hello Phillip. This is Peach.
Phil: Good morning, your majesty. It's nice to hear a bit from you, but is Luigi there?
Peach: He's asleep right now.
Phil: Well then. How about Mario?
Peach: Eh, he's sick... I mean he's dead... I mean...
Phil: He's what?
Peach: Asleep. Yeah. He's asleep too. Most of us are. It's only nine in the morning, you know.
Phil: Oh. I really need to talk to Luigi.
Peach: Okay. I'll wake him up for you.
(Peach walks toward Luigi.)
Bowser: Uh...Peach? I don't think you wanna...
(Peach sat down on top of Luigi. Obviously, he woke up and NOT in a good mood!)
Luigi: Get your ass off me or I'll punch you in the neck!
Peach: Geez Laweez, Luigi. I just woke you up because you had a phone call.
Daisy: Talk about getting a rough start...
Kirby: Yeah. One bad night can do a lot to a person, you know.
Bowser: Peach, you better get your fat butt off Luigi before he really does hit you.
(Peach got off Luigi, then he rips the phone out of Peach's hand.)
Luigi: Who the hell is this?
Phil: Hey, Luigi. This is Phil.
Luigi: Oh. Hey. What's up?
Phil: I just called to ask how the vacation is going.
Luigi: Uh...fine...just fine...
Phil: Okay. Are you guys doing a lot of stuff or are you just chilling out?
Luigi: Um...a little bit of both.
Phil: That's good. Anyway, I got a little concerned when I heard that a blizzard hit the island. Is everyone alright?
(Luigi looked at Mario. He was sleeping like nothing had ever happened. Luigi itched his ear. That is, the one he wasn't listening to Phil with.)
Luigi: Uh...sure. Everything's okie dokie...
Phil: Well, that's a relief. If anyone got stuck out there, they would have been turned into an ice cube if you know what I mean.
(Luigi tugs on the collar of his shirt.)
Luigi: Eh...yeah...that would be bad... By the way, we've got a couple more vacationers over here.
Phil: More friends? Who are they?
Luigi: Well, there's Daisy. I'm sure you know who she is. And there's Kirby. (whispering) He's a bit of an out-of-towner, but he's fitting in just fine.
Phil: I already know about your girlfriend, but I don't think I've heard of Kirby before. I'll have to meet him when I come home in a week.
Luigi: A week? Okaaay...
Phil: Is there anything else you need to tell me?
Luigi: Um...no...not really...
Phil: Okay then. I'll jus-
(There was the faint sound of something breaking on Phil's end.)
Luigi: What the hell was that?
Phil: Hang on a sec. Boys! Break one more thing and you'll be paying for it with your own money! Okay. I'm back.
Luigi: Phil, where are you?
Phil: We're at the toy store. The boys wanted to get some stuff here.
Luigi: I see... Well, tell them not to get any Power Rangers.
Phil: Okay. Why?
Luigi: Uh... (quickly) Can't explain now! Gotta go! Bye!
(Beep!)
Luigi: God damn asshole...
Daisy: Who was that?
Luigi: Ah, that was just Phil. He's the guy that owns the island. He heard about the blizzard and wanted to know if we were alright.
Daisy: And?
Luigi: I told him everything's fine.
Kirby: But what about Mario?
(Kirby points a flap at the, still sleeping, brother.)
Luigi: Alright alright. I didn't Phil about that, but I'm willing to admit that it's my fault Mario's like this. Seriously, he's my problem, not yours. So just back off, okay?
Daisy & Kirby: Fine...
Peach: Breakfast is almost ready. Can someone go upstairs and wake up everyone?
Bowser: I'll do it. But just for Luigi.
Luigi: Yeah. Thanks, Bowser.
