Chapter 34: Flash Flood!

(Peach had cooked chicken nuggets and french fries and everyone was in the kitchen enjoying the meal except for Mario. Luigi turned Happy Gilmore on for him. Hey. Laughter is supposed to be the best medicine, right?)

Peach: So guys. Have any plans now?

Waluigi: I was digging around in the toy box upstairs and found Monopoly. Anyone wanna play with me?

Wario: Dude, I love Monopoly. Count me in.

Peach: Ooo...sounds like a plan to me.

D.K.: I haven't played Smash Bros. in quite awhile actually. So I'll probably be playing that.

Yoshi: Toad and I still have Power Drinkers, so no worries there.

Toad: Heheh. Yeah. I wonder if Liquor really will kill Champagne for cheating on him with Beer.

Bowser: Oh great. Soap opera action. That's just what we need...

Toad: What were you going to do then, Shit-for-brains?

Bowser: Well, I haven't managed to figure that out yet.

Daisy: Hey Weegiepoo. What's up with you?

(Luigi didn't say anything. He thought he heard some thunder outside and stared out the window.)

Daisy: Is something wrong, dear?

Luigi: I dunno. I just have this baaad feeling right now. But don't let me spoil your fun. Go ahead and do whatever.

(When dinner was finished, Peach cleared the table and she, Daisy, Wario and Waluigi played Monopoly. Kirby didn't understand the game and simply watched. D.K. went into the boys' room and fired up the N64. Yoshi and Toad, as you can probably guess, went back to playing Power Drinkers. Bowser sat down in the living room and watched Happy Gilmore with Mario. This just left Luigi with nothing to do. But it doesn't seem like he wants to do anything but look out the window anyway. It looked like he was just about to fall asleep when the distant sound of thunder caught his attention.)

Luigi: Huh? Whaaa...?

Wario: My turn. Ooo...an eleven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven... What? Go to jail? Nooooo!

Waluigi: Whahaha! Go to hell. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Anyway...six.

Peach: Welcome to Kentucky Avenue where you'll be staying a night at the lovely-

Waluigi: Ah, cut the speech and give me the bill.

(There was some more thunder, only it sounded like it was little closer this time. Luigi shook his head and took a closer look outside.)

Luigi: No. No, it can't be.

Daisy: Are you okay, Weegiepoo?

Luigi: Stop calling me that! Anyway, I think there's a storm on the way. This does not bode well at all.

Daisy: Well what can we do?

Luigi: I'm calling a meeting. Take a break from your game and meet me in the living room.

(Luigi got up and went upstairs to tell everyone there about the meeting.)

Yoshi: (for Champagne) I'm dumping you, Liquor! Beer is more of a man then you'll ever be!

Toad: (for Liquor) Shut the hell up and come over here like a good bitch. (for Beer) You don't need to take shit like that from anyone, Champagne.

Yoshi: (for Champagne) Beer's right. You can take your di-

Luigi: What the hell?

Toad: What? We're playing Power Drinkers. You want to join us or what?

Luigi: No. I don't. I just came to say that there will be a meeting in the living room in a few minutes. Coming is mandatory. That means you too, D.K.

D.K.: Aw man. And I just beat Metal Mario. Whatever.

(Yoshi, Toad and D.K. follow Luigi to the living room where everyone else has gathered for the meeting.)

Peach: What's the matter, Luigi? We've never had surprise meetings like this before.

Wario: Yeah. Who died and made you boss anyway?

Luigi: Ahem...Mario...

Wario: Oh. That's right. He's out of action. My bad.

Luigi: Okay then. I've called this meeting because we may have a crisis on our hands. I'm sure at least some of you know that it's been rainning for most of the day. I'm afraid that the rain has now become a thunderstorm.

Yoshi: What are you so worried about then? The power going out? We'll probably be okay without TV and such for a little while. Right?

Luigi: That's the least of my worries. Since there was already a bunch of snow on the ground, the island could very well flood if this keeps up!

D.K.: But we're a good distance above sea level. We'll be fine.

Luigi: While it's true that this house might be safe from the sea, I can't say the same for the store.

Toad: Oh shit! He's got a point there!

Kirby: What can we do then?

Luigi: I'm not sure. That's part of the reason I called the meeting. I guess before I can make any decisions, I'll need to know just how bad the damage is right now.

Wario: Whoa. You're not getting me out there.

Daisy: Me either.

Luigi: If no one is willing to go out there, then we'll just have to figure out who to send out. Oh, I know! Anyone have a bottle?

(Waluigi just so happened to be drinking a bottle of Mountain Dew. He chugs the rest of it down and hands the bottle to Luigi.)

Waluigi: Sure. Here you go.

Luigi: Thanks. Now could some of you move that Monopoply board off the table for a few moments?

(Wario and Daisy carefully move the board onto the counter, then Luigi puts the bottle on the table.)

Bowser: Wait. We're not playing Spin the Bottle, are we?

Luigi: Sort of. Is everyone here?

Peach: Mario isn't, but sending him out there after he was in the blizzard would just be heartless.

Luigi: Okay then. Here's how this will work. The bottle is spun and whoever it points to will be eliminated and won't have to go outside. Last person remaining is gonna get wet. Now...

(Luigi spun the bottle. It pointed to Yoshi.)

Yoshi: Ah. So I'm safe now, huh?

Luigi: Yeah. You go ahead and spin the bottle, then go back to what you were doing.

(Yoshi spins it and returns upstairs to play Power Drinkers. The bottle landed on...)

Bowser: Heheh. No rain for me.

(Bowser spun the bottle and left. Kirby was safe from scouting duty. So was Luigi, then Daisy. She was the next to spin it.)

Wario: Woo hoo!

Peach: Yay!

Toad: Hell yeah!

(Only D.K. and Waluigi were left. Toad spins the bottle and left. The final result is...)

Waluigi: OH GOD NO!

Luigi: Sorry Waluigi, but the almighty bottle has spoken. Even though you were the one that provided it. Seriously. Get out there as soon as possible. We're counting on you.

(Waluigi grumbles something to himself and goes out the front door. It was quite awhile before he came back. He was absolutely soaked when he did. Water dripped from every part of him including his, now droopy, mustache.)

Luigi: Whoa. You look horrible. Here, dry off with this. We don't need a repeat of what happened to Mario.

(Luigi gave Waluigi a towel that he got from the bathroom a few minutes before.)

Luigi: So tell me. What's the verdict?

Waluigi: This is not good. Not good at all. The dock is flooded and so is the bridge to the store. The store itself hasn't been hit, but it looks like it will soon. Heck, I think it's been closed already.

Luigi: If the rain were to stop in the middle of the night, then we might be okay. But if it doesn't, then we have no choice...but to evacuate...
