Chapter 2: Hanging Out

THE NEXT DAY...

Mario: Well... I can't believe we're gonna hang out with our mother, for the very 1st time!!!

Luigi: I know! I never really knew my mother when I was a baby.

Mario: What do you mean? You came out of her...

Luigi: I'm gonna stop you right there, Mario!

Later...

Mia: Hello, boys!!!

Mario: Hi, Mum!

Luigi: And, Hi Keith!

*HUG*

Keith: Wow, this place is new! Since when did the Mushroom Kingdom build a Train station?

Luigi: This station was opened back in 2015. This place has been running for 7 years now.

Keith: Wow, this place has evolved!

Mia: So, are you two gonna show me where you live?

Mario: Yes, of course.

When they got to town...

Mario: Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom, you two.

Keith: Ah... my old town.

Mario: Then... why support a Scottish team, then?!

Mia: When did you move here?

Luigi: We moved to the UK in 2006, we lived in an apartment in Liverpool for about 5 years. And then, in about 2011... we moved to a proper house right here in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Mia: Wow, that's interesting.

Keith: Good choice of moving here.

Then...

???: OMG, KING TOADSTOOL!!!

Toads gathered around the group.

Mario: JESUS!!!

Toad 1: OMG!!! IT REALLY IS HIM!!!

Toad 2: CAN I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH?!?!?!

Toad 3: LET ME TAKE A SELFIE WITH YOU!!!

Everybody: KING TOADSTOOL!!!

...

Mario: Bloody hell, Keith!!! You really are famous here!!!

Keith: I told you so!

Luigi: We should try to get out of here!!!

Mario: What?!

Luigi: I said...

Mario: I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

10 MINUTES LATER...

Mario: This is my house, everyone!

Mia: You have a nice place, Mario!

Mario: And you've met Meggy before.

Meggy: How are you doing, Mia?

Mia: So, this is my new daughter-in-law?

Meggy: You're looking at her.

Mario: And, this photo is your future Grand-kids.

Mia: OMG... they're beautiful!!!

Keith: So, if Mia is becoming a Grandma... what does that make me?

Luigi: I think you're gonna become some sort of... Half-Grandpa.

Keith: Noice!

Meggy: Do you have any children, Keith?

Keith: Well, I actually have a daughter.

Meggy: Wow, do you know where she is?

Keith: I don't know, she might have moved away...

...

Mia: I see you got a lot of pictures of you and your wife.

Meggy: We did a lot of crazy adventures, together. We even went on a snowy adventure where a penguin tried to kill us.

Keith: Right...

Mario: Speaking of pictures... I got a picture frame in the bathroom that you might like!

Mario got a picture frame with a Liverpool shirt in it.

Mia: Oh... My... Goodness!!! My old shirt!!!

Mario: Do you like?

Mia: You... you kept it!

Mario: I didn't want anything to happen to it, so I thought I put it safe in a picture frame.

Mia: So many memories... with this shirt.

Luigi: Mario's been wearing it when we went to Anfield in the late-2000's.

Mia: Right...

Luigi: And also, it got ruined a couple of times.

*SMACK*

Luigi: Ow!

Mario: Shut it, you!!!

Mia: Why did you hit your brother?

Mario: We sometimes smack each other.

Mia: Is that you two do for a living?

Luigi: We like to prank each other, sometimes...

Mario: True...

Keith: Tell us one thing that you two have been doing to annoy each other.

Luigi: Well, about 10 years ago... he once made me watch that video with some Girls eating some chocolate!!!

[FLASH-BACK TO ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO...]

Luigi: OK, Mario... what is it that your showing me?

Mario: Just watch.

Luigi: And why are you recording my reaction?

Mario: Shut up, and just watch.

Meggy: Anyways, shall we head to the castle?

Keith: OMG... the castle gives me nostalgia!!!

At the castle...

Mario: And, this is my new family!

Mia: Well, it's nice to meet you all.

SMG4: If you're wondering where Tari is... she's at a Meta Runner meeting.

Keith: This used to be my home, you know.

Boopkins: Wait, really?! That's interesting!

Keith: Thank you, green booger thing.

Boopkins: Eh?

Bob: *wheezes* Green Booger Thing!

Boopkins: Shut up, Bob!!!

...

Keith: Everything looks completely different since the last time I've been here.

SMG4: Can I ask you a question?

Keith: Go on.

SMG4: If you used to live here, how come the town has called this place; Peach's Castle?

Keith: Well, this place is actually called: The Toadstool Castle.

SMG4: Okay?

Mario: Wait, we've been calling this place; Peach's Castle... this whole time!

Keith: When me and my ex-wife divorced... I left my daughter to be in charge when I moved away.

Mario: And can you remember your daughter's name?

Keith: My daughter is actually called...

Then... Peach arrived.

Peach: These Toads in town are going crazy for some reason...

She then realised...

Peach: D- DAD?!?!?!

Keith: P- Peach?!

Toadsworth: King Toadstool?!

Peach: OMG, DAD!!!

*HUG*

Toadsworth: I'm having a mirage!!!

...

Mario: Wait... Peach, that's your Dad?!

Peach: OMG, what are you doing here?!

Keith: Well, all these people right here are giving us a tour around my old town.

Mia: Oh, you must be Peach! Keith's daughter.

Peach: And, you are?

Mia: I'm Mia, your father's new wife. And, I'm Mario and Luigi's mother.

Peach: Wait... Mario, that's your Mum?!

Mario: Yeah...

Luigi: I exist too, you know!!!

...

Mario: Wait a minute...

Peach: What?

Mario: If my mother is re-married to Peach's father...

Peach: Um...

Toadsworth: OMG...

Peach: What?

Toadsworth: I don't believe it!!! You have step-siblings!!!

Peach: You what?!

Toadsworth: Let me tell you something. If your real parent re-marries someone else's parent... their children becomes step-siblings.

Mario: Wait... so that means...

Toadsworth: Yep, Peach is now your... STEP-SISTER!!!

Everyone: *GASP* WHAT?!?!?!

Peach: MARIO AND LUIGI ARE MY... STEP-BROTHERS?!?!?!

Luigi: OH MY BLEEDING CHRIST!!!

Bob: Ow...
