Chapter 3: The Goth Girl

Mario: Whoa... you live here?

Annabelle: Aye.

Mario: You really are a Goth Girl, aren't you?

Annabelle: Yeah.

Mario: There's a lot of Dark Fantasy, on your Walls.

Annabelle: I love Dark Fantasy... I love it since I was a little Baby.

Mario: Okay... I'm guessing Dark Souls is your favourite Video Game.

Annabelle: Have a sit down... make yourself at Home.

Mario sat down.

Annabelle: Listen, I wanna say Thanks for saving me Skin... I don't know if I would've done, if ya found me like.

Mario: So, you really love Gothic stuff?

Annabelle: Aye... I always wanted to become a beautiful Goth Girl, and now... I am.

Mario: Is that why you got Piercings, and Black Lips.

Annabelle: Of course.

Mario: My Wife also has Piercings.

Annabelle: Y- Ya what?

Mario: I'm married... and I have Kids.

Annabelle: *sigh* Damn... ya look like a cute Guy.

Mario: Sorry.

Annabelle: Are ya huge?

Mario: I'm always huge when my Wife is acting sexy... in fact, you look like her.

Annabelle: I see.

...

Mario: So, what's been happening? Why are you being abused?

Annabelle: Well, it all started after I moved to this Area... Suddenly, this Bloke who thinks he's me Boy-friend is addicted to doing Crime, he was on a Crime Spree and I was forced to become an Assistance Leader of this Gang that he's in... and he's the Leader! I keep trying to leave, but he & his gang keep forcing me to stay and beat me up!

Mario: Okay?

Annabelle: He's ruining me life, I am literally in Hell! And, he's NOT my Boy-friend!

Mario: Why don't you just alert the Cops?

Annabelle: I can't do that... because, there's a Behaviour Device wrapped around me Ankle!

Mario: Eh?

Annabelle: It's also a Tracking Device.

Mario: Jeez...

Annabelle: And, it beeps every time if I grass up... or if I try to run away!

Mario: Now, that's a problem.

Annabelle: Anyways, what brings you up her to Tyneside?

Mario: Well, I'm on Holiday... I'm having a Couples Weekend away, up here.

Annabelle: Where have you come from?

Mario: Liverpool.

Annabelle: Ah... you're a Scouser from Merseyside.

Mario: Technically, I'm from Italy and I've now been living in England for about nearly 20 Years.

Annabelle: Wow, an Italian living in the UK for nearly 20 Years.

Mario: The UK is like a 2nd Home to me.

Annabelle: How come you're not with your Wife, like?

Mario: Well, the others were pissing me off

*PHONE RINGS*

Mario: That's my Phone... and my Wife is calling.

Annabelle: Okay?

[PICK UP]

Mario: Hello?

Meggy: Mario, are you still upset?

Mario: I don't think so.

Meggy: Oh good... can you please come back to the AirBNB, now?

Mario: Alright, fine.

[HANG UP]

Mario: Listen, I gotta go.

Annabelle: Okay.

Mario: Actually... I'll give you my Number, if you need anything! But, only for Emergencies.

Annabelle: Understood.

Mario: I'll see you later.

Mario left.

Annabelle: What a nice Laddie.

Outside...

Mario: Have I just made a Friend, whilst I'm on Holiday? It kinda looks like it.

D. Wendy: HEY, YOU!!!

Dark Wendy appeared.

Mario: Can I help you?

D. Wendy: Our Leader now knows about you.

Mario: Does he?

D. Wendy: Ya must be Annabelle's new Manager.

Mario: Um... Aye?

D. Wendy: The Leader wants to see you.

Mario: Now?

D. Wendy: Tonight!

Mario: Tonight?

Dark Wendy gave Mario, a Note.

D. Wendy: The Address is on here... Be there!

Mario: Okay?

Dark Wendy went away.

Mario: *gulp* What am I doing?

After that...

Mario: Hey...

Meggy: Are you alright?

Mario: I'm still trying to calm down.

Luigi: Listen Mario, we're sorry about being picky that causes to throw a hissy fit.

Mario: No need... I should be apologising to you.

Luigi: That's fine.

Meggy: Anyways, where have you been?! I've been worried-sick!

Mario: Well, I rode my Bike along the streets of Tyneside... then, I crashed into someone and he had a go... and then, he snapped the Bike's Chain.

Luigi: What?

Mario: My Rental Bike is now screwed.

Luigi: And, you didn't bring it back?

Mario: Aw, crap... I left it at the Estate!

Luigi: Where?

Mario: What?

SMG4: LUNCH IS READY!!!

Mario: Thank God.

Mario went into the Kitchen.

SMG4: Nice to see you again, Mario.

Mario: GO TO HELL!!!

Meggy: That was weird.

Pomni: What?

Meggy: He went to one of those Council Estates?

Luigi: Anyways, it's Lunch time.

Pomni: Okie-dokie.

Meggy: Hmm...

A FEW HOURS LATER...

Mario: Aww... you're cuddly and warm.

Meggy: Aww... so are you.

*KISS*

Mario: I love Cuddle time.

Meggy: Me too.

*PHONE BUZZES*

Mario: *sigh* One second.

Mario: O_O

Meggy: Who's texting you?

Mario: U- Um... it's my Dad! He wants to know where to get Chocolate Milk for Gino.

Meggy: Okay?

[MIND] Mario: Why the hell did she put a Black Heart Emoji?!

Meggy: Come back to Bed.

Mario: Hang on... I need to call him, I'll won't be long.

Meggy: *sigh* Fine.

Mario ran to the Bathroom.

In the Bathroom...

Annabelle: Hello?

Mario: Annabelle, it's me.

Annabelle: Hi, Mario... thanks for calling, pet.

Mario: I'm not your pet!

Annabelle: I'm a Geordie... and, Pet is a Geordie word.

Mario: Before we talk... why did you put a Black Heart on your Text?! You know I'm married!

Annabelle: I know.

Mario: You gave me a scare! I was cuddling my Wife, when you texted me!

Annabelle: Oh.

Mario: What if my Wife saw that Text? That could cause a Sequel to a certain Story Arc that I had to put up with, a few Years ago!

Annabelle: Okay?

...

Mario: Anyways, what do you want?

Annabelle: Well, ya know my Ex? Who is the Leader of this gang.

Mario: Yeah?

Annabelle: He wants to see ya, tonight.

Mario: Yeah, I got a Note from one of your Violent friends.

Annabelle: Listen, ya better be there... or else, he's gonna kill me!

Mario: Eh?!

Annabelle: He doesn't like Imaginary friends... or Time Wasters!

Mario started to freak out.

Mario: *panting* Oh no... what do I do?! I haven't mentioned you, to my other Friends yet! I had to lie to my Wife, about that Text!

Annabelle: Oh dear.

Mario: Can you drive?

Annabelle: No... but, I do have a Two-Seater Bike, like.

Mario: Okay, does this Meeting last over-night?

Annabelle: Um... yeah.

Mario: Okay, pick me up when everyone is asleep... and I'll secretly sneak through the Window! I'll send you the Address.

Annabelle: Deal... can you stay awake at about 1:00am?

Mario: Sure... bye for now.

[HANG UP]

Mario: *gulp* O_O

Mario was playing a dangerous game.

1:00 AM...

Mario: It feels like we're Joyriding through the Streets!

Annabelle: Aye.

Mario: I don't know about you, but I'm playing a dangerous game!

Annabelle: Hmm...

Mario: I literally had to sneak out through the Window, whilst everyone is asleep... I was worried that someone was gonna wake up!

Annabelle: Well, I'm here now... and it's a good job that no one woke up, like.

Mario: True.

...

Annabelle: I'm glad that ya joining me.

Mario: Well, I don't want you killed.

Annabelle: Aye.

Mario: So, where are we going?

Annabelle: He hosts a Club at an Abandoned Warehouse... that's where all of the Thugs meet up.

Mario: So, how dangerous is your Ex?

Annabelle: Well, he's a big guy... he's always has a Knife with him, and he really hates Cops.

Mario: Okay?

Annabelle: Mario, I want you to be careful... if I were you.

Mario: *gulp*

Annabelle: He really is a Thug on the Tyne.

Mario: Roll credits.

Later...

Mario: Is this the place.

Annabelle: Aye.

Mario: So, what should I expect in there?

Annabelle: Well, this is mostly like a Youth Club... but, it's technically a Youth Club for Thugs.

Mario: So, it's a Thug Club.

Annabelle: More or less.

*KNOCKS DOOR*

???: What's the password?

Annabelle: Yo-Ho-Ho... and a Bottle of Coke.

???: Enter!

The Door opened.

Mario: That was the Password.

Annabelle: Some people liked Pirates, like.

Inside...

Thug(s): *chatting*

Annabelle: *CLEARS THROAT* CAN I HAVE EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION?!?!?!

Everyone froze.

Thug(s): ...

Mario: *gulp*

Annabelle: This is me new Manager... Mario.

Mario: U- Um... it's easy to see where Annabelle gets her good looks from.

Thug(s): ...

Mario: Hmm...

Shy Guy: HEY... IT'S YOU!!!

Mario: You still owe the Bike Rental Place, Money!!!

???: Well... well... well... did I just hear me Darling Girl's voice?

Mario: Is that--

Annabelle: *sigh* He's not me Darling.

The Leader appeared to be... Dark Bowser.

D. Bowser: Who do we have here, like?

Mario: Um... Annabelle's Manager.

D. Bowser: There's my beautiful Gothic Princess.

Annabelle: I told you, a Billion times... we're through!

D. Bowser: Come here, honey.

*KISSES CHEEK*

Annabelle: *sigh*

Mario: Wouldn't it make sense that you would make out with Dark Wendy, over there?

D. Bowser: Dark Wendy is me Sister, like.

Mario: ...
