Chapter 2: The friendship that started with chess.

Narrator: "It wasn't long before all of the students were on board the boat." "Most of them were goombas, with the obvious exception being Flurrie." "Goombario was minding his own business reading a comic book, when a female Goomba sat down beside him." "This goomba was pink, with blonde hair, and a shiny silver helmet."

Goombario: "Hello, you must be Goombella, i've heard about the adventure you went on with Mario."

Goombella: "And you must be Goombario, Mario has told me all about you."

Goombario: "Is it true that you're studying to be an archeologist?"

Goombella: "Yeah, but it's way harder than people think."

Narrator: "Goombario then reached into his backpack, and pulled out a chess board."

Goombario: "Do you know how to play?"

Goombella: "Oh yes, I am unstoppable at chess."

Narrator: "The two of them played about three games, each one resulting in a stalemate." "Then, the temperature began to go down, and the room began to feel cold."

Goombella: "I think we're about to disembark."
