Disclaimer: I don't own Mario.
"Welcome, Yoshi," Mario announced, jumping down from his scaly sidekick, "to the world of a-movie-making!"
"Yoshiiiii!"
Yoshi gazed around curiously at where Mario had made him carry him on his back to. He was in the middle of Mushroom Kingdom - which was filled with more mushrooms than usual. All of them were doing different jobs. Some were setting up cameras, some were building set pieces and some were pushing trolleys which were carting reels of film.
Mario had brought Yoshi to the site where the sequel to his blockbuster movie was beginning to be made.
Mario smiled as he took in Yoshi's inquisitive reaction to where he'd brought him. The Italian plumber sat comfortably in his studio chair - which had a golden star in the back with his name on the inside.
"This issa where we will a-turn you into a star, Yoshi!" he explained. "Everyone issa excited that you're a-going to be in my next movie!"
Yoshi turned towards Mario. He'd been eager to join him in front of the characters ever since the first movie had been announced. Although he'd only ended up making a teaser after the end credits, the sequel was going to be where he'd make his motion picture debut.
A smile crossed Yoshi's green face at the thought of being in a film. He was certain all the fans would be ecstatic to see him on the big screen. Maybe he'd end up stealing the show, completely overshadowing Mario and becoming the real star of the movie.
"It's-a tricky business to act in a movie!" Mario continued. "That's-a why the producers a-want me to teach you everything there issa to know!"
Yoshi tilted his head. He couldn't see what was so difficult about acting in this particular movie. After all, Mario, Luigi and the others who'd been in the first one had all been playing themselves. They were no doubt going to do the same in this sequel, so there was no reason he couldn't just be himself.
"You have to learn-a all your lines before you step in-a front of the cameras!" Mario said, holding out a copy of the movie's script. "Don't-a be surprised if you have to stay up all night reading it all, just to memorise all you have to say - in only-a one scene!"
Yoshi stared at the script. He didn't see why he had to read the whole thing to remember it all. Throughout the whole movie, he was only ever going to say one word over and over again - and it would be impossible to forget since it was his own name.
"Make a-sure you take this role of yours so a-seriously l, Yoshi," Mario declared dramatically. "If you put all your soul into your preformance, you might-a become almost as good an actor as me. You might even get an award for Best Supporting Actor. Not one for Best Leading Actor, of course, for the only-a one who can win that issa me-"
"Yoshiiiii!"
Without waiting for another word of this lecture, Yoshi shot out his long tongue. He stuck the tip of it onto the script - to yank it out of Mario's hands and pull it into his mouth.
"Hey!" Mario bellowed. "What-a you think you are a-doing, Yoshi?!"
Yoshi smirked mischievously. His cheeks bulged out from having the bulky script inside his mouth.
"You can no eat that!" Mario hollered. "That's-a the script! I need-a that to learn my pet in the movie!"
Yoshi shrugged. He was savouring the taste of the script. It was a lot different from having Koopas and Goombas in his mouth. He was very tempted to swallow it whole.
"Bad Yoshi!" Mario glared. "Drop the script! Drop the script a-right now!"
Yoshi didn't obey. He just faced Mario carelessly with his bulging cheeks.
"Drop it!" Mario ordered. "Or I'mma cutting you from the movie!"
That was enough for Yoshi. He didn't want his glory on the big screen to be taken from him. He spat the script out of his mouth - to send it flying into Mario's face.
"Owowow!"
Mario wailed in pain as he was whacked on his nose by the script, which burst apart to the send its pages scattering everywhere. The force of the blow caused the plumber's studio chair to tilt backwards - which resulted in him falling out of it to come crashing down on top of his head.
"Yoshiiiii!"
Yoshi strode off, not wanting to spend any more time with his big headed master and costar. He headed off to the wardrobe and makeup department, hoping they could make him look very dashing before he stepped in front of the cameras.
"Mamma mia!" Mario moaned, removing his had to rub his sore head. "This issa no way to treat the star of the movie! I'mma gonna put it in my a-contract to have any scenes I share with Yoshi be done by a stunt a-double!"
THE END
