Chapter Fourteen:

Happy Mar10 Day, Everyone

"It's got to be perfect; it has to be perfect. WHY ISN'T IT PERFECT?!"

He slammed on the table, glaring at his computer. SMG4's eyes were filled with red cracks and he was sporting dark circles under them. He'd been working as hard as he could and had looked up everything on the computer about how to make a perfect video, now his search history was filled with words like "where's the funny"?

SMG4 continued to type at his computer while animating various characters and splicing scenes together, trying to make his video perfect. SMG4 continued to seethe and mutter with desperation; "It's gotta be perfect, it's gotta be perfect."

KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK!

"WHAT?!"

The meme man stood up and walked towards the door, finding Meggy outside with an invitation in hand. "Hey, SMG4." She said, "I know you work hard, but you want to attend the big Mar10 Day party?"

"NO, I'M BUSY!" SMG4 cried, and slammed the door shut.

He was about to get back to work on his video when he heard another knock on the door. SMG4 answered again, finding Bob outside with another invitation.

"SMG4, you are formally invited to the annual Mar10 Day party that will be held soon." The former Garo announced.

"No, I have to make a video!"

SMG4 threw an empty soda can at Bob and closed the door, only to hear another knock. SMG4 became irked and more paranoid by the second, he opened the door and found Mario waiting outside with an eager smile. And that was when he figured it out that the plumber was going to retry his attempt to invite him to a Mar10 Day party.

"How many times do I have to say it!?" SMG4 cried.

"C'mon." Mario begged.

"GO AWAY, GO AWAY!"

The desperate and somewhat fatigued meme man slammed the door shut, then he reached into his inventory and pulled out a Kamek's wand. SMG4 swished it, conjuring multiple doors. He began piling them all up on top of the door, making sure that nobody else could get inside.

With that done, he returned to his computer to brainstorm and resume his work.

Mario smiled as he studied the main hall of Peach's Castle. He'd worked hard to get things decorated for the big event with Mario banners, inflatable Marios, and everything he'd thought of that people would enjoy.

It was looking splendid, regardless of anything he was missing.

Oh, Mar10 Day was going to be an amazing time for everyone and Mario cared so much about his friends more so than himself. He showed them kindness and they showed him kindness back, what a wonderful world. A pity that Princess Peach wanted nothing to do with it, not after she'd been stuffed into a Pokeball.

The fat Italian smiled and looked at his watch; it was time. He looked at the arrangements once more, then he headed to the door, ready to greet the guests as the party's host. Mar10 Day wasn't going to start itself.

The castle grounds were packed as everyone waited for the man of the hour to appear. Almost every single one of Mario's friends (and enemies) were all here; Saiko, Tari, Kaizo, Meggy, Boopkins, the Wario Brothers, and the guards, Swag and Chris. They'd all been invited to attend Mar10 Day and they could hardly wait to see what was in store.

"Wow, he managed to get everyone here." Saiko remarked.

"I can't wait to rock the party if he wants us to perform music!" Kaizo quipped excitedly.

"Ooooh, I wonder what's in store for us." Boopkins said with optimism.

Wario rubbed his hands together, "Whatever happens at this party, it better be good..."

The door soon opened and Mario himself made his entrance. The plumber walked out with a wave and then, he did a jig, hopping and dancing and twirling around. "Hey there, everybody!" Mario said with glee, "I'd like to welcome you all to the annual Mar10 Day!"

"Yo, what's a Mar10 Day?" A Koopa shouted, "It sounds like you think that March 10..."

Someone threw a rock at the Koopa and the walking turtle fell over. Mario nodded to the crowd; "Okie-dokie. Are you all ready, everyone? Because it's time for the biggest day you will never forget. SO, LET'S-A GO!"
