"At most, it should take maybe 5 days to get there, but that's without irregular delay," Toad told the brothers once they were past the Mushroom Kingdom boundaries and in unowned territory, which was a never-ending stream of short red grass. The long walk was not so boring, as Luigi had brought his Walkman, and played songs throughout their adventure.
Oliver's army is here to stay, Oliver's army are on their way, and I would rather be anywhere else but here today
"Elvis Costello?" Toad asked.
Luigi was stunned. "Um, yeah. How'd you...?"
"I go up to Earth all the time! I love the music you have there."
"And no one cares that you're a mushroom?" Luigi asked in disbelief.
"I go in a trench coat and fedora, dumbass."
"Oh," Luigi sheepishly breathed out.
"Me," Toad started again, "I'm more of a Smiths fan. The Cure, that lot."
"You guys suck," Mario butt in, "Arcade Fire is where it's at."
"Get lost!" Toad shouted, "Arcade Fire is for nerdy losers! I bet you like U2, also!"
"Yeah, so what?" Mario angrily demanded.
The three then burst out into laughter. They had all formed a friendship and the beginning of a strong bond through the earliness of the quest. Mario Mario had always been a lonely figure back on Earth, and was learning the benefits of social interactions. Luigi Mario was a little braver in his words and put more swagger in his steps. And Toad was able to insult men from different worlds.
"There's a pipe up ahead. It'll take us underground, a little closer to Koopaland. It will also let us get closer, without being detected."
"Anything down there?" Luigi asked as if nonchalantly.
"I doubt we'll find much. Couple Goombas, at the most."
Soon, the group had come in sight with a green pipe.
"Hey," Mario asked, "are the pipes just random colors, or-"
"Actually, their color tells you where they lead. Sort of." Toad explained. "The green pipes, they lead to another location on the same continent. Yellow pipes will take you to places overseas. Red pipes go to other worlds, such as Earth."
"Well, why are all the entrance pipes here on Mushroom World?" Luigi pondered.
"No one really knows. But I...I think that Mushroom World is the center of the universe."
That left the team wondering. Soon, however, Mario climbed over the pipe edge and slid in.
"After you," Toad gestured. Luigi slowly stumbled in and Toad chuckled, "ladies first," before hopping in himself.
I fell in love again, all things go, all things go
Luigi's Walkman echoed through the blue-seeming cave. Which was not a good thing. The three quickly noticed the hordes of Goombas, whose attentions veered toward the music of Sufjan Stevens.
"Oh, shi-"
