Junior wondered into Mario Stadium.
Junior: It is actually quite fun to return to this place that I haven't been for ages! It has changed a little, I guess, the nokis are dancing with the piantas, people watching and playing baseball. I have no idea what we are here for, since Daisy insisted to let all of us to watch out a bit and Monty's choice of words, I feel like a challenge is here.
"Hmm… What could be here?" Junior walked past the ice-cream store.
A paratroopa with a green shell handed the ice-cream person some coins. "Thanks," He bit his ice-cream and walked away.
Junior took notice of his presence. "I swear that looks like someone I know."
Junior: That paratroopa there resembles… Paratroopa? Could that be his brother he told us about a few times before? Does this mean anything? Could this actually be the mission?
"Wow, this place haven't changed one bit." Daisy commented on the garden.
A black luma zoomed pass her as she raised an eyebrow before shrugging to herself.
Daisy: I would hate to embarrass myself with talking with complete strangers that have no relevance to the game. But Rosie has told us about a luma called Polari, one of the best friends of hers, I am so confused, but I'm going to see what's available before making my move.
Daisy walked around the garden, seeing toads.
Daisy: I don't know what to do right now. But I am on my own now, I have no help, I can only rely on myself. And just when I wanted to find where that black luma is, I realized the fact that I have lost him.
Paratroopa hop-walked into the park as he glanced around, wondering what he is going to go.
Paratroopa: Does anyone know that why am I here? I literally have no idea what I am here for. Daisy insisted that there is a challenge here. Could there be a challenge that requires all five of us to do a part each?
"I swear I sense something weird here." Paratroopa concluded as he passed by a toad with a blue cap wearing glasses.
Paratroopa: Seeing and communicating with the other players for such a long time, I know everyone's friends outside of the games by a bit when they say 'oh, you remind me of that person' and all that. I guess I saw someone that Toadiko described as her brother... maybe?
Rosalina slowly walked into the city as she gasped at her surroundings.
Rosalina: I would like to thank Paratroopa for letting me come to here, since this place is glorious, I would say. I saw many lights and buildings around this place, and then the loud noises came in which I guessed is baseball. But anyway, I knew that I shouldn't lose focus and I will try to find out our mission.
Rosalina walked passed a certain green plumber as she wondered into the stadium.
Rosalina: The most obvious thing that is on this island is the numerous baseball fields built onto this place. My prediction is that even if the mission wasn't played inside the fields, there might be a clue pointing to what I'm going to be doing for this mission. Could there even be a mission?
Toadiko ran into the jungle as she faced a shop. "Hello, do you have anything addressed to someone on The Mole?"
"No, sorry." The shopkeeper replied.
Toadiko: What should I do? I have no idea if there even was a mission assigned for me or not. Can somebody please tell me what to do now? But first, there is a very weird thing. I cannot even get to the other side of the jungle where at least three quarters of what is in the jungle lies.
"Don't tell me I have to use this." Toadiko whined as she saw the cannon.
Toadiko: I don't care what is going to happen right now, since none of us were told what we are here for in the first place. Except for the Mole, I guess, they always know what's happening here and there.
Junior ran into the stadium as he tried to find the paratroopa he saw earlier.
Junior: I kept on repeating the phrase 'you know who everyone's loved ones are', so I figured out that we are finding the family or friends of the other players. That paratroopa that I had seen earlier is probably the brother of Paratroopa. I think he's the one I have to find.
Meanwhile, the paratroopa was eating his ice-cream while watching the baseball game occurring inside the stadium. His seat was marked with a mole thumbprint sign.
"Is that what I think that is?" Junior wondered to himself as he used a small handheld telescope to search through the crowd and he landed on the small black and green sign.
Junior: That's the paratroopa I saw earlier, seeing his face, I'm even sure that he is Paratroopa's little brother. I bet that is the person I had to find.
Daisy was very confident in her part of the mission as she set off to find Polari.
Daisy: Why did I hesitate? I have now lost the placement of Polari all because of my stupid mistake! How should I be able to find him now? Ah, I got it. Maybe he is in the baseball field, maybe.
"Found you!" Daisy whispered to herself as she caught a glimpse of a black luma. "Hey! Polari!"
"Did I just hear my name?" Polari turned around to face Daisy.
Daisy shot her arms up in victory. "Yes! I have found Polari!"
"I have no idea what is going on right now." The luma concluded.
Paratroopa flew around the pipes, trying to catch up to Toadbert.
Paratroopa: The blue toad is just like how Toadiko would describe him all the time. My best bet to see what is going to happen is that I am going to find that toad, and question him about the mission. Of course, it would be easier if he is the one I am trying to find.
"Darn it!" Paratroopa cursed as Toadbert went into the stadium.
Paratroopa: There aren't even too many people here! How the heck did I manage to lose his position?!
Without another word, Paratroopa glided into the stadium.
"Where is he?" Rosalina panicked.
Rosalina: I noticed that Luigi is among the group of tourists, so I thought of the idea of chasing him around, but he had to go into the stadium. I tried following him in, but as soon as I got in there, the noise overwhelmed me.
Rosalina gritted her teeth as she looked at the notice board, the games will be closely followed by another one.
Rosalina: This area has people shoving each other in it, just as retarded as Wario himself is. So I thought: no way am I going into an orgy like this, I do not want to lose reputation over this. Luigi, please come out of that building.
"Should I go in or not…?" Rosalina whispered to herself in worry.
Toadiko shrugged to herself as she decided to not use the cannon.
Toadiko: There is a chance that there isn't a mission here right from the start. That cannon doesn't look good for my health, physically and mentally, so I am going out, final answer.
She walked out of the area as she missed a princess in her sport uniform wondering around aimlessly.
Junior: Please don't move, whoever you are! If you move, then it's going to be a whole lot of new troubles to find you again!
"Aha!" Junior cheered as the paratroopa looked a bit intimidated. "Let's go!"
"Err… Are you talking to me?" The koopa asked.
The koopa prince nodded, "Duh, who else?"
"Where are you going to take me to? I have no idea, these cameramen just told me to meet my big brother here." The paratroopa admitted.
Junior scratched his head. "Um… Come with me for now, I'll explain you everything along the way."
"Oh, tell me that this is not true." Paratroopa lost the position of Toadbert yet again. "Where could he be?!"
Paratroopa: For once, this game is all depended on you, no one else, just you. I feel like that I cannot get any help, I could be relying on the teammates in challenges a bit until now, but I will prove that I exist by bringing Toadbert back.
At 6 PM, everyone made their way back to the middle of the island. Toadiko was sitting there by herself next to Monty.
"So, may I ask if there was a challenge from the start?" Toadiko asked in confusion, thinking there wasn't even a challenge from the start.
Toadiko: Was there ever a challenge in the start? I have no idea.
Monty nodded as she gasped, "Can't you figure it out? I expected you to."
"Err… I'll be thinking of an excuse right now, please excuse me." Toadiko smiled as she retreated into a random bathroom.
Daisy then happily skipped in with the luma behind her. "See who I brought back Rosie!... Oh, she's not back yet."
Daisy: I feel very stupid. Do any of you think that I'm stupid sometimes?
"Welcome Daisy, since you have brought back Polari, 5000 coins goes into the pot already." Monty welcomed the two.
Daisy tilted her head to the side. "May I ask has anyone else come back yet?"
"Well, Toadiko came back 10 minutes she got into the jungle." Monty replied casually, "She didn't even think that there was a mission."
Daisy: Now I realized that I'm not the most stupid one in this mission. Ha! Take that Toadiko! You should've known to at least attempt to do the mission somehow.
"Hello everyone, I'm sorry that I did not find Luigi. I did find him, actually, but the place's an orgy." Rosalina apologized as she came in by herself.
Rosalina: I never went into that orgy. I do not appreciate that certain place. However, being on The Mole, I knew that I had to do something like this, and it is very guilty to think that I decided to back out of it.
"Hi guys," Paratroopa smiled as he led Toadbert into the room. "I have done my part, at least."
Paratroopa: Just as long as I have done my part, I guess I have nothing to lose right now, since I have done my part, it's all up to the others. But clearly, all I see besides Rosalina and Daisy is that luma, which means one of them hasn't brought back someone.
Toadiko came out of the bathroom. "Oh my god! Toadbert!" She shrieked as she hugged him, who hugged back, meanwhile, Rosalina and Polari are exchanging a few words as well.
Daisy: Oh my god, doesn't Toadiko flush? That is so disgusting, ugh.
Paratroopa gasped as he saw his brother coming in with Junior, "Phew, so I was right all along." Junior grinned.
Junior: Since I see three different unfamiliar faces here, I assume that 3 people including me succeeded, but as they are all different faces to me, it's safe to say that no one brought back whoever came to see me. This really sucks.
"Players," Monty caught their attention as two more people joined in. "I know that this is a lovely thing to have on this show, but sadly, you will only see them for this episode."
"Seriously?" Daisy asked in disappointment as she went to Luigi.
Junior embraced Peach, who came. "It's enough, really."
"For this mission, every single loved one that each of you bring back will earn 5000 coins for the pot. However, since both Rosalina and Toadiko failed to bring back a loved one while everyone else did, 15000 coins will be added into the pot. Anyways, today, we are all finished. Tomorrow, I would suggest not eating too much for tomorrow lunch though, since a mission is going to commence." Monty walked out of the place, leaving everyone behind to have a conversation.
Team Pot:
124000 Coins
Junior: Considering the fact that Toadiko didn't even think that there could be a challenge and Rosalina saying that she didn't attempt to do the challenge, I say that it is very suspicious of them to not have either of their excuses.
Daisy: Although it's not the most successful that we could do, I think we did pretty well and we are on our way to the 150000 mark, I hope we get there before I get executed. *Laughs*
"So, what do you think went wrong in the challenge?" Paratroopa spoke up, "I mean, it isn't that hard."
"Err… Trying to figure out whether there was a challenge from the start?" Toadiko guessed with a nervous laugh.
Daisy swung her hands in the air. "I don't care what everyone is thinking about. Let's get going back to the ship and party!"
Rosalina: I don't really appreciate what Daisy thinks of sometimes, but what I can say is that she is very carefree 50% of her time. And I am not dismissing this one. However, what are the chances for an event like this to happen? Let's party for tonight, I'm in for it. For once.
Sorry guys for this extremely bad written challenge and this weird reunion. But I'm not the best scene describer for a challenge like this without any interaction in the world. XD (I'd prefer to film this instead to describe what was happening) However, I promise the next challenge will be very exciting to write about because it's… fun. XD
