VALENTINE'S DAY...

SMG4: How's your Valentine's afternoon?

Tari: It's good, thank you!

*KISS*

SMG4: Do you still like these flowers that we've got?

Tari: They're lovely, not gonna lie.

SMG4: Yeah... special thanks to Luigi's new shop.

Tari: Oh! Not only that it's Valentine's Day... it's also another special day for Mario and Meggy!

SMG4: Is it?

Tari: Did you forget?

SMG4: What's so special about Mario and Meggy?

...

Tari: OMG, SMG4!!! It's their wedding anniversary!!!

SMG4: *gasp* Jesus!!! It is!!!

Tari: 2 years ago, since they've got married!!!

SMG4: Did you get them something?

Tari: Of course, I did!

SMG4: So did I!

Tari: Christ... I thought you forget about their anniversary, then...

SMG4: I was the best man in his wedding.

Tari: And, he was yours in ours.

SMG4: I remember, fair and square...

Tari: What the hell?

SMG4: It's coming from outside!

Outside...

Pio: Morning.

SMG4: What the hell is this?!

Pio: Let me explain... I got a date tonight, and I might've told her that I was rich and lived in a Castle.

Tari: You did, what?!

SMG4 got his phone out.

[PHONE RINGING]

Mario: Hello?

SMG4: Mario!!! Get your ass over here!!! Your Dad is starting to lose his crap!!!

Mario: Alright! I'm only here!

SMG4: Christ! How did you get here, so fast?

Mario: I was about 10 seconds away from here when you rang me up.

SMG4: Ah...

Mario and SMG4 both hung up their phones.

Pio: Are you ready for my big date, son?

Mario: Dad! Why are you doing this? You're literally lying to your new bird!

Pio: Well... I might need a favour from you.

Mario: Go on...

Pio: Can you let your friends stay in your house, just for 1 night?

Mario: What?!

SMG4: You cannot be serious, Pio!!!

Mario: You're giving me a tough choice!!!

Tari: Mario! I don't know about you, but... maybe we could do that.

SMG4: Why?

Tari: Well... the old man needs to find some love in his life, and I actually don't mind spending a night at Mario's house while his Dad has his own private date.

Mario: *sigh* I can't believe I'm doing this... I suppose so.

Pio: Good boy, Mario!!!

Mario: *sigh* This isn't gonna go well...

THAT NIGHT...

Mario: Alright, everyone... I'm gonna help my Dad on this date...

Saiko: Mario... I still don't understand why we have to go to your place, just for your Dad to have a date at this Castle...

Mario: Don't worry, it's just for this night only... it will be just like staying at an Air-BNB.

SMG4: I got a bad feeling about this...

Mario: So do I...

Tari: Wait... where's Luigi?

Mario: I don't even know... And, I don't care...

SMG4: Right... let's go, everyone.

Tari: See you later.

Mario: Oh, BTW! Try not to burn my house down!

SMG4: We'll try not to...

The whole gang went away.

Mario: *sigh* Let the agony begin...

Inside...

Pio: *clears throat* Hello, Old Toadette! How do you do? I made this Table, just for you... to make yourself comfortable.

Mario: What are you doing?

Pio: I'm practising my speech for when she comes.

Mario: I think it's 30 years too late for her to do that...

PAUSE!!!

Pio: Oh! Don't show me those big cans! I am a virgin!

Mario: O_O

Pio: This left candle is to say; I love you... This middle candle is to say that; I am rich.

Mario: I'm gonna puke...

Pio: And, this right candle is to tell Mario to keep his bloody mouth shut!!! 😠

Mario: You what, mate?! 😠

...

Pio: When's the food ready?

Mario: I haven't even started yet!

Pio: Well... get started!!!

Mario: What am I supposed to make?!

Pio: I don't know!

Mario: It's your date!!! This isn't my problem!!!

Pio: Listen... Mister!!! I don't you ruining this date!!!

Mario: It's gonna start to go downhill, you know!!!

Pio: Just get in the kitchen!!!

Mario: *sigh* Yes... Chef Ramsey...

Mario went into the kitchen.

Pio: *clears throat* I've got a cock, you know... It wakes me up, every morning. It's a well-behaved Rooster. 🐔

*DOOR KNOCKS*

Pio: Crap!!! She's here!!!

Pio opened the door.

Old Toadette: Hello, Pio.

Pio: Old Toadette! Hello there!

Old Toadette: Wow! You really do live in a Castle, and you are rich.

Pio: Yep! And, I lit candles... just for you.

Old Toadette: That's nice.

Pio: Why don't you make yourself at home?

Old Toadette: You are such a gentleman.

Pio: MARIO!!! WHERE'S THE WINE?!?!?!

Outside...

Luigi: What the hell?

Luigi was confused.

Luigi: Why is my Dad's face on that picture? And, what's going on here?

Back inside...

Mario: Here's your Wine.

Old Toadette: Thank you.

Mario: Aye...

Pio: You don't seem yourself, son...

Mario: I am your slave, for tonight... That's why I'm very moody, at the moment...

Pio: Cheer up, son!

Mario: I have a wife and 2 children home, you know!

Old Toadette: That's nice.

Mario: And, I've got her which is gonna be the most romantic gift for Valentine's Day.

Pio: What would that be?

Mario: I've hired a Blimp and it has a message that it's gonna say; 'Happy Valentine's Day, Meggy! From Mario and your kids! X'

Old Toadette: Lovely!

Mario: But, instead... I'm helped this old---

Pio: Hey, Mario! Can you please stop talking for once?

Luigi arrived.

Luigi: What's going on here?!

Mario: What are you doing here?!

Old Toadette: Oh! Looks like we've got a visitor.

Luigi: Eh? Who's that?!

Pio: Um... Old Toadette! This is... er...

Luigi: Are you feeling alright?

Pio: P- P- Paprika!!! This is my butler; Paprika!

Old Toadette: Nice to meet you, Paprika!

Pio: He's from Mexico.

Luigi: Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?!

Old Toadette: Why is there an L on his cap?

Pio: Um...

Mario: The L stands for Loser!

...

Luigi: You what?!

Pio: Paprika! Can you please get dinner started?

Luigi: Why would I do---

*SMACK*

Luigi: Ow!

Mario: Shut up, Paprika!!!

Pio: Can you get in the kitchen?

Mario: Come on, you!

Luigi: What?!

Mario and Luigi went in the kitchen.

Mario: What do you think you're doing?!

Luigi: Sorry?! Am I in the wrong Castle or something?!

Mario: Yes...

Luigi: What's going on?!

Mario: Look... the other night... I took Dad to a Night-club to look for a date and it turns out that it worked!

Luigi: Well... why the hell didn't you tell me?!

Mario: Because, you were away with your new Flower shop!!!

Luigi: Christ... I just got back from locking up the shop for the night... and then, I come back here to have my named changed into a Mexican name?!

Mario: Looks like it...

Luigi: Where's everybody else?

Mario: They're over at my place...

Luigi: All of them?!

Mario: Yeah... because Dad might've told his new bird that he's rich and lives here...

Luigi: He told her, what?!

Mario: He's technically lying to her!!!

Luigi: Oh God... this is bad!!!

Mario: And, the worst part is we have to cook something for these two, tonight!!!

Luigi: Don't worry! I'll think of something!

Mario: I might to get some fresh air, after this...

Luigi: You do that.
