(Mario, Goombella, Ms. Mowz, and Flavio were all in cabin number 5, were playing Uno to pass the time. Flavio placed his second-to-last card in the stack)
FLAVIO:
Uno!
MARIO:
Dang, you're a lucky pirate!
(Goombella placed the draw four card next to Mario)
GOOMBELLA:
Sorry Mario, forgive me!
(Mario drew four cards like the card told him to)
MARIO:
Mama-mia!
GOOMBELLA:
I'll go for red!
MS. MOWZ:
Mmmm… I don't think there's anything near here, sweetie.
MARIO:
Wha… you… can talk!?
MS. MOWZ:
No messages.[English]
(Ms. Mowz placed her card, followed by Flavio who placed his last card and won)
FLAVIO:
I win! Good game, guys
MARIO:
Good game.
(Goombella stomach rumbled)
GOOMBELLA:
Ooh, guess I'm getting hungry.
MARIO:
Guess I could go for pizza!
(Mario, Goombella, and Flavio went into the kitchen and saw a group - including a detective penguin - having a conversation)
DETECTIVE PENGUIN:
Hmmm. This yummy sticky threat smells suspicious to me. But what could it be?
CHEF CHEEP-CHEEP:
Uhh… my pot is suddenly gone, Mr. Pennington?
PENNINGTON:
Ah-ha! A missing pot! But who could steal the pot without any of us looking? Hmm… this is indeed a mystery!
PASSENGERS:
A MYSTERY!?
PENNINGTON:
Yes! A mystery! And if my theory's correct, I believe that this Toadette waitress is the real culprit!
TOADETTE WAITRESS:
What the frick! Are you stupid or something? I did not take the pot at all!
PENNINGTON:
Wow! I was just practicing my accusation skills and you have the nerve to call me "stupid!?"
TOADETTE WAITRESS:
How was I supposed to know that!? It sounded like you were dead serious!
PENNINGTON:
I believe that Zip Toad stole the pot!
TOADETTE WAITRESS:
Hey! Don't talk to Zip Toad like that!
PENNINGTON:
Again, I'm practicing my accusation skills!
ZIP TOAD:
A fight scene! Cool!
MARIO:
A-HEM!
(Everybody froze and stared at Mario)
MARIO:
Do you see traces of something on the carpet that might lead somewhere in one of the cabins!?
PENNINGTON:
Oh! I did not see that! Let's see where it could lead!
(Mario, Goombella, and Flavio followed Pennington as he was following the spilled stew on the carpet until they encountered Koops)
KOOPS:
Hey Mario and Goombella! What's going on? Who's that detective guy?
PENNINGTON:
I am Pennington, and I am following the case of the spilled stew on the carpet!
KOOPS:
Oh yeah, I was wondering where that came from, but I'm assuming it was someone who's in cabin three!
PENNINGTON:
It must be that fat Toad! Come on!
(Meanwhile, on cabin 3, the big Toad was eating from the pot in a bad manner way, when Pennington busted open the door which caught him off guard)
PENNINGTON:
Freeze, mister!
FAT TOAD:
Huh? Uh, I don't have any pots around here! They're trying to accuse me because I'm a fat boy!
PENNINGTON:
Don't be stupid! We saw you eating from the pot just now!
FAT TOAD:
Fine! I did this! I was hungry!
MARIO:
You know there's a better solution instead of stealing the pot! Now hand it over and let bygones be…
PENNINGTON:
No, dude! He needs to hand you the pot and face the consequences!
FAT TOAD:
Fine! Take the pot! Do whatever! Even if I have to go to jail!
(The fat Toad gave Mario the pot back)
MARIO:
Thank you!
PENNINGTON:
Now, go! I've gotta deal with this fatty!
(Mario, Goombella, Koops, and Flavio left cabin three and went over to the kitchen where they handed the Cheep-Cheep the pot back)
MARIO:
Here's your pot, mister!
CHEF CHEEP-CHEEP:
Thank you, Mario! You shaved my pot!
MARIO:
Uh, what?
CHEF CHEEP-CHEEP:
Dang it! Stupid speech o' mine! It's "saved!" Not "shaved!"
(Pennington ran over to Mario)
PENNINGTON:
Oh, and, uh, I wanna talk to you alone if that's fine.
(Pennington ran off-screen. Next scene shows Mario entering cabin six where Pennington and Flavio are)
MARIO:
Okay, Pennington, I'm here! What do you wanna talk about?
PENNINGTON:
Well, that was actually impressive how you noticed the spilled stew on the carpet!
MARIO:
Well, thanks, sir!
PENNINGTON:
So, I wanna know your name! Don't tell me… you must be… Luigi!
MARIO:
Dude, are you blind or something!?
PENNINGTON:
No, I'm the penguin with the improbably large brain! Of course I'm not blind, Luigi! I know all about you!
MARIO:
My name's Mario! You see the letter M on my cap!?
PENNINGTON:
Shouldn't it be an L instead of an M, because I'm pretty sure your name's not Muigi!
MARIO:
Oh my gosh!
PENNINGTON:
Also, as you heard in our conversation earlier, Luigi, there appears to be some sort of a sticky, yummy threat!
MARIO:
Sticky, yummy threat! How convenient!
PENNINGTON:
And I did saw two purple witch ghosts that resembles one of our passengers who also happens to be a purple witch ghost! Oh, and they teamed up with a shapeshifter ghost!
MARIO:
You mean to tell me that Vivian's sisters joined forces with Doopliss!? And they're responsible for this yummy and sticky threat!?
PENNINGTON:
It appears so, Luigi! Which is why I want you to join me into taking care of the threat!
MARIO:
I'll do it, only because I need that emerald before they get it!
PENNINGTON:
That's great!
(Flurrie and Bobbery opened the door)
BOBBERY:
Mario, old boy, there you are! A Bob-omb family are arguing!
MARIO:
Really?
FLURRIE:
Just the parents! The son's just sitting there, suffering from all that bickering!
BOBBERY:
You gotta stop them, old boy! And fast!
(Mario, Flurrie, Bobbery, and Flavio entered cabin eight)
GOLDBOB:
No, Sylvia! We need to get Bub a car and a house!
MARIO:
Excuse me, you two! What are you bickering about?
SYLVIA:
Oh, Great Gonzales! Um, Bub's birthday is coming up, and we need Bub to grow up and be educated!
GOLDBOB:
By giving him a house and a car!
SYLVIA:
No, he doesn't need those yet!
BUB:
I actually want an autograph for my birthday!
FLURRIE:
Aw, you want an autograph, dear? Here, I'll give you one…
BUB:
Actually, from a train engineer !
FLURRIE:
What the crap!
BOBBERY:
I'll be right back!
(Bobbery and Flavio went up to the engineer)
BOBBERY:
Excuse me, sir, but I really need your autograph!
TOAD ENGINEER:
You want my autograph?
BOBBERY:
It's from a kid.
TOAD ENGINEER:
Okay!
(The Toad engineer wrote the autograph and handed it to Bobbery which the autograph just levitated)
TOAD ENGINEER:
Take care!
(Bobbery and Flavio went back to cabin eight and handed Bub the autograph)
BOBBERY:
Here you go, kid! Just for you!
BUB:
Aw, thanks sir! This is just what I wanted! Now, I'll be able to admire it all day and all night!
BOBBERY:
I'm glad you're happy!
TOAD CONDUCTOR:
Help! We're one blanket short!
MARIO:
Oh, for the love of pasta! What's going on?
TOAD CONDUCTOR:
Someone stole a blanket!
EGGY:
G-G-Gonzales! T-T-There's a g-g-ghost in c-c-cabin f-f-four!
(Eggy jumps on Mario's arms)
MARIO:
A ghost?
EGGY:
Yeah!
(Mario, Flurrie, Eggy, Bobbery, and Flavio went in cabin four and saw a ghost Toad talking to Koops and Vivian)
MARIO:
What the mama-mia is that!?
KOOPS:
This is Ghost T., and I don't know why he's here!
GHOST T.:
You must be Mario! Well, I was talking with that Shadow Siren and her Koopa boyfriend
MARIO:
Did you steal a blanket?
GHOST T.:
I did, as a matter of fact!
MARIO:
Can we have it back?
GHOST T.:
Hmmm… no.
MARIO:
What!?
GHOST T.:
I'll consider giving you the blanket, if you'll find my diary and bring it back without opening it up, because if you do… I'LL HAVE YOUR LIFE!!!
(Eggy shrieked and hid behind Mario's back)
VIVIAN:
Dude, that was scary.
GHOST T.:
What did you expect? I'm a ghost for crying out loud!
MARIO:
Fine, I'll get your stupid diary and bring it back to you!
GHOST T.:
Promise not to open it!?
MARIO:
Yes, I promise! I'll be back!
(Mario and Flavio ran up to the train conductor)
TOAD CONDUCTOR:
Did you find the blanket?
MARIO:
I did! A ghost Toad stole one of your blankets and is willing to keep it to himself unless I give him back his diary without opening it up.
TOAD CONDUCTOR:
Diary! *gasp*
(The conductor hurriedly went in the room, grabbed the diary, and went out to hand it to Mario)
TOAD CONDUCTOR:
This is what you're looking for, right?
MARIO:
The diary! Yes! Hmm… I wonder what's in this book, if I can just open it up real quick and not tell the ghost about it… yeah!
(Mario slowly opens the book and begins to read)
MARIO:
I got on a train today. And on that train…
(Suddenly, Ghost T. popped up in front of Mario, looking all furious. Meanwhile, Flavio was just standing there, acting like nothing's happening)
GHOST T.:
YOOOOOOUUUU LOOOOOOKED! EEEEEEVEN THOUGH I TOLD YOOOOOUUU NOT TOOOOOOO! NOW SEEEE WHAT HAPPENS!
(The screen fades to black as Mario screams in agony. However, it was only a daydream as Mario finally woke up in reality)
MARIO:
Whoa! What am I thinking?
TOAD CONDUCTOR:
You were gonna open it!
MARIO:
Oh my gosh, that ghost would kill me if I opened his diary and read it! I gotta give this back to him or he'll have my life!
(Mario and Flavio quickly ran to cabin four and handed the ghost his diary)
MARIO:
Here's your diary, Ghost T., I never opened it! Not once!
GHOST T.:
Thank you, Mario! Now, as I promised, here's your blanket!
(Ghost T. threw the blanket at Mario)
MARIO:
Gee, thanks!
GHOST T.:
Now, I'll leave you all alone, knowing that my diary is in good hands!
VIVIAN:
Though, it really was nice talking to you, Ghost T.!
KOOPS:
Yeah, you're not as bad as I thought you would be!
FLURRIE:
Here, Mario, get some rest, dear. I'll give the conductor his blanket.
MARIO:
Thanks, Flurrie.
(Mario and Flavio entered cabin five and Mario tucked himself in bed)
MARIO:
Goodnight, everyone.
(Mario slowly fell asleep as the screen fades to black)
