Chapter 3: The Truth About Mario's Sadness

After the Match...

SMG4: What's going on?!

Luigi: Mario ran away from the Ground!

SMG4: Eh?!

Luigi: We were just about to enter the Stadium... and then, he heard voices from this Mother and Son... and then, he freaked out and he ran away!

SMG4: Bloody hell... he really is upset!

Luigi: And, Meggy knows why he's being this way!

SMG4: Well?

Luigi: It's been 4 months since... you know...

SMG4: *gasp* OMG...

Luigi: I still can't believe she's been gone for 4 months...

SMG4: I know, Luigi...

*HUG*

Luigi: *sigh*

SMG4: I know it's tough...

*DOOR KNOCKS*

SMG4: Who could that be?

Outside... Pio appeared.

Luigi: Dad?

Pio: Hello, son.

Luigi: It's not a good time, Dad.

Pio: Listen, I need a word.

Luigi: What?

Pio: I think something is up with your Aunt.

...

SMG4: What?

Luigi: Aunt Doris? What's wrong?

Pio: I think I know why...

Luigi: You do?

Pio: She must be having some Vietnam Flashbacks.

SMG4: Is it something to do with what happened in the Summer?

Pio: Something like that.

Luigi: Can we see her?

Pio: Alright, then.

At Doris's Apartment...

Luigi: Um... Aunt Doris?

Doris: ...

SMG4: Is she alright?

Pio: What does it look like?!

Doris: I'm fine...

Pio: No, you're not.

Luigi: How did she get upset?

Pio: Someone mentioned the name; Mia... whilst we were in Liverpool City Centre.

Doris: O_O

Luigi: Aunt?

Doris: OH, JESUS!!!

Doris rushed into the Bathroom.

*DOOR SLAM*

Pio: I'm getting worried about her.

SMG4: Um... Pio? I think Mario is acting the same way.

Pio: I beg your pardon?!

SMG4: He also freaked out about a Mother and Son at Anfield.

Pio: Are you saying that Mario is feeling the same way as Doris?

SMG4: Looks likes it.

Pio: I wanna see him!

Luigi: What?

Pio: I'm gonna try to cheer them up and forget about what's going on!

Doris: I am cheered up!!!

Pio: ...

Luigi: SMG4, call Meggy and tell her to bring Mario back to the Castle.

SMG4: On it.

Meanwhile...

Meggy: Mario?

Mario: Go away, Meggy... I wanna be on my own.

Meggy: Liverpool won... 3 - 0.

Mario: What a surprise...

Meggy: Listen, I think I know why you're upset.

Mario: I am NOT upset.

Mario tried to smile.

Mario: See? Look, I'm happy!

Meggy: *sigh* Is this something to do with... your Mother?

Mario: ...

Meggy: Sweet-heart?!

Mario: W- What?!

Meggy: Are you upset about your dead Mother?

Mario: I don't know what you're talking about, Meggy... Everything's fine!

Meggy: No, it's not... you're breaking my Heart!

*PHONE RINGS*

Meggy: Oh, bugger off!!!

Meggy went to get the Phone.

Mario: *sniff* M- Mum...

SOME-TIME LATER...

Doris: Why am I here?!

Mario: I wanna go home!

Pio: We just wanna talk to you two.

SMG4: Alright, let's cut to the chase... we all know why you two are being this way!

Meggy: It's been 4 months since The Horrific Incident.

Pio: What horrific incident?

Luigi: *sigh* O- Our Mum...

Doris: OH GOD!!!

SMG4: A-ha... so you are upset!!!

Doris: U- Upset?! I'm perfectly happy! 

Doris tried to smile.

Doris: See?!

Meggy: Mario, it's okay to be sad... you don't have to keep acting like this!

Pio: Same goes for you, Doris!

Meggy: Remember when I was upset about Desti?

SMG4: This feels like Déjà Vu.

...

Meggy: We all know it's been tough since your Mum died, but--

Mario: WHAT?!?!?! That was ages ago... I've already gone over that! People die, you know!

Doris: I agree!

Mario: So, stop saying that I'm upset... you stupid Tits!!!

Everyone: O_O

Pio: Meggy, let me handle this... I'm gonna say this to Mario in a way that an Italian would understand.

*SLAP*

Mario: Ow!

Pio: YOU'RE BREAKING YOUR WIFE'S HEART!!! 😡

Meggy: PIO!!!

Mario: God, I hate you... I'm off to the Toilet!

Mario went to the Bathroom.

Meggy: Oh great, you just had to slap him... didn't you?!

Pio: I was trying to make things right!!!

SMG4: Alright, calm down... you two!

Meggy: He slapped my sad husband!!!

Pio: He's also my son!

SMG4: SHUT YOUR GOBS!!!

...

Luigi: Are you alright, Doris?

Doris: I'm fine!

Pio: You're not!

Doris: Seriously, what can I do to prove myself that I'm not upset?!

Luigi: Liverpool won, 3 - 0.

Doris: What a surprise... Up the Reds!!!

Pio: Doris... you wanna--

Doris: Shush!

Pio: Did this woman just shush me?!

Meggy: That's what you get for slapping Mario!

Pio: I beg your pardon?!

SMG4: OI, YOU TWO... You two arguing is not solving anything!

Meggy: He started it!

Pio: You what?!

Luigi: At least, SMG4's spitting facts!

SMG4: Thank you, Luigi.

Doris started to get emotional.

Doris: *sniff*

Luigi: Aunt Doris?

Doris: *sniff* I- I just miss my sister... I really miss Mia...

Pio: And, the truth has just spat out!

Meggy: Oi, shut your mouth... she's upset!

Pio: At least, she told the truth!!!

SMG4: DO YOU GUYS WANNA SPANKING?!?!?!

Pio: I bet Orange Hair wants a spanking!

Meggy: YOU WHAT?!?!?!
