Chapter 2: The Situation

PC Toad: Anything else that they took?

Tari: My husband's Computer Setup... he can't live without memes.

SMG4: *panting* MY MEMES!!! THEY TOOK MY MEMES!!!

...

PC Pianta: So... that's a Kitchen table, a Memorial picture and a Computer Setup?

Tari: Yep.

PC Toad: We'll do the best we can to stop those robbers.

Tari: And, can you please hurry up?! My husband's hasn't been this freaked out since his Twitter got hacked!

In the kitchen...

Melony: *sobbing* Waaa!!! 😭

Shroomy: *sigh* Poor, Melony... she's very upset about the picture...

Boopkins: You don't say...

...

Mario: DAMMIT, GUYS!!! I told you this crap would happen!!!

Bob: *vapes* Well... it's kinda my fault that we've gotten into this mess...

Mario: I'm putting the Security scanner, back up!!!

Luigi: Er... hold up! You don't need to do that!

Mario: Why not?

Luigi: SMG4 threw it away...

Mario: GOD-DAMMIT, SMG4!!!

Mario stormed out.

Bob: BTW, Melony... you can be next in line for the Therapy sofa.

Melony: *sniff* My precious picture...

SMG4: You know it's funny... that of all the things that have been stolen... most I said about was my Computer Setup...

Mario: I'm really upset about my Security scanner... THAT YOU THREW AWAY!!!

SMG4: Shut up, Mario!!!

Tari: Don't be upset, honey... I'm sure the kitchen table wasn't that important.

SMG4: We need the table to eat proper kitchen meals...

Mario: You could have TV Dinners! Me and Meggy watch TV while eating our dinners, all the time.

...

SMG4: Mario, we need to talk...

Mario: Go on?

SMG4: I thought you setting up a Security system was a ridiculous idea... but, this has gone way too far!

Mario: Um... what are you trying to say?

SMG4: I don't wanna admit it... but, I think you were right all along...

Mario: *gasp* I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! Finally, I can press this button that I've been keeping in my pocket!!!

Mario pressed the button.

Mario: I've set this whole thing up, just 5 hours ago!

Tari: Okay?

SMG4: You know what? Let's take action! We're gonna get an Alarm system for this Castle!

Tari: Good idea!

SMG4: And, Mario?! Clean up this mess!

Mario: Excuse me?! I'm the one who was right, all along! This is Karma for making me put down my own Security system!

SMG4: Um...

Mario: You clean this mess up!

SMG4: *grunts* Ugh...

Later...

SMG4: Alright, everyone! Let's discuss the Elephant in the room... I know we're all concerned about what happened, earlier today... But, we're gonna fit in a Burglar alarm system.

Boopkins: We've been learning about Crime & Punishment at School, today! And, we've been talking about Security alarm systems!

SMG4: Did you?

Boopkins: Some people have Burglar alarm systems in their homes, to stop robbers from breaking into other people's homes.

SMG4: And, what happens?

Boopkins: The alarm suddenly sets off when someone breaks a window or opens the door.

SMG4: I see.

...

Tari: So... where are we gonna get an Alarm system?

Bob: I know! Rob has a brother that has a very good Burglar alarm system!

Tari: Does he?

Mario: Rob has a brother???

Bob: Oh yeah! According to Rob... his friend has got a very good Burglar alarm system. He also says that it's top of the range!

Boopkins: I think I remember him saying that.

Bob: It's highly recommended.

JubJub: Hakuna Matata!

Boopkins: What?

JubJub: It means; No worries.

Bob: Since when did JubJub turn into Simba?

Boopkins: I think what he's trying to say... that the Alarm system that he's got, is very useful.

Bob: Ah...

...

Mario: I like your thinking, lads!

SMG4: Right! Let's get that one, then.

Melony: I just hope nothing bad has happened to my Axol picture...

Meggy: Don't worry, Melony! I'm sure it won't.

Mario: Hakuna Matata, Melony!

SMG4: Have we all turned into Lions, or something?!

Later...

Bob: Yo, Rob!

Rob: Yo, Bob! What bring you here?

Bob: Listen... I need a favour! The Castle has recently been robbed...

Rob: Are you for real?!

Bob: Yep! And, you know that your brother has this... Burglar alarm system?

Rob: Yeah?

Bob: Did he say that it's top of the range?

Rob: Oh yeah! He actually sells Burglar alarm systems, as well.

Bob: Does he?

Rob: He has a part-time job, over at B&Q.

Bob: You never told me, this before.

Rob: He just started it, when we were in Qatar...

...

Bob: Well... we decided to take action and build in a Burglar alarm system!

Rob: Okay?

Bob: Is the place where your brother works in, sell that kind of Alarm system?

Rob: Yes.

Bob: So... do you mind coming with me and look for the Alarm system at B&Q?

Rob: Certainly!

Bob: You're a life-saver, mate!

When they got to B&Q...

Rob: OK, Bob! We should find my brother in this B&Q Warehouse store.

Bob: Where do you think he's at?

Rob: He shouldn't be too hard to find. He's also a Scarecrow, just like me.

Bob: I think I can picture him already, since you two are brothers...

Rob: I see.

Bob: What's his name, again?

Rob: Mike.

Bob: Mike the Scarecrow?

Rob: Ay-up! I see him, now!

Bob: Let's go.

They reached Rob's brother... Mike.

Rob: Yo, Mike!

Mike: Hey, Rob! Everything alright?

Rob: Yeah...

...

Bob: Um... No, it isn't!

Rob: What?

Bob: The Castle has been robbed!

Rob: Oh yeah... Mike, this is one of my best mates; Bob.

Mike: Nice to meet you, Bob.

*HAND-SHAKE* 🤝

Bob: Um... Hello.

Mike: You want some Cucumbers?

Bob: Eh?

Mike: Mmmmmmmmm... I put a whole bag of Cucumbers, up my ass.

...

Bob: I can tell you two are related!

Rob: Everyone knows that Corn is better!!!

Mike: No! Cucumbers!!!

Rob: CORN!!!

Bob: Excuse me?! Can you give us a hand, here?!

Mike: Sorry...

Rob: We're looking for a Burglar alarm system... Bob's place has been robbed, and he's looking for one.

Mike: You've came to the right place, my friend! Follow me and I'll show you where they're at.

After that...

Mike: Right! What you are looking at... is very useful. This alarm system can stop robbers from nicking your personal belongings.

Bob: Okay?

Mike: All you have to do is put in a 4-digit code on this machine... you may need to do some tests.

Bob: How does it set off?

Mike: It sets off when the front door opens or one of the windows breaks.

Rob: There you go, Bob! Top of the range!

Bob: Hmm... I don't know, yet...

Mike: Did I mention that it comes with a special feature called; The Rat Trap?

Bob: I'm listening.

Mike: This alarm system comes with Cages.

Bob: SOLD!!! You've got yourself a deal!!!

*HAND-SHAKE* 🤝

Rob: Thanks, bro! You just saved my best mate's life.

Mike: No problem, bro!
