Chapter 2: The Situation

SMG4: Stupid Just Stop Oil gits!

SMG3: Look at my bleeding Face... they threw Paint at me!!!

Mario: I don't understand the World, anymore... Why are these people doing this?! 

SMG4: I dunno... something to do with Petrol or the cost of living crisis.

SMG3: That makes me sick!

SMG4: You're gonna puke, again?

SMG3: SHUT IT, YOU!!!

...

Mario: That's one way to start 2024.

SMG4: It's New Year's Day and it's looking like one of those days, already.

SMG3: I'm gonna clean my Face.

SMG3 went inside.

Mario: Are you gonna clean the Castle Walls?

SMG4: NO, I WANT THEM TO DO IT!!!

Mario: But, we got rid of them.

SMG4: I don't care... I want them to get rid of this Nickelodeon coloured Paint!!!

Mario: They're not gonna come back!

SMG4: *sigh* I'm just pissed off about what happening in this Country... these Protests are getting out of Hand.

Mario: Tell me about it... they just keep on coming, and they keep ruining Sport matches!

SMG4: I swear to God... they need to be locked away!

Mario: Lock them and swallow the Key, that's what I say!

SMG4: Why would you wanna swallow a Key?

Mario: Your Mum swallows!

SMG4: Funny... 😒

Inside...

Meggy: Are you two alright?!

Mario: Thanks for your help!

Meggy: Eh?

Tari: Protesters?

SMG4: Protesters!

Meggy: *sigh* Stupid idiots...

Mario: I know... they're like bloody confused Zombies!

SMG4: And, they splattered Orange Paint outside!!!

*PHONE RINGS*

Mario: Looks like it's my turn to be receiving a call.

[PICK UP]

Mario: Hello?

Luigi: Mario, you would not believe what we're looking at here!

Mario: What?

Luigi: Just Stop Oil!

Mario: Oh great... they were here at The Showgrounds!

Luigi: Are you serious?!

Mario: I'm on my way!

Luigi: Okie-dokie!

[HANG UP]

Mario: There's more of them, in Town!

SMG4: Great, here we go again...

Mario: Meggy, come with me!

Meggy: On it.

Mario: SMG4, you stay here and look after the kids.

SMG4: On it.

Meggy: Let's go!

Mario & Meggy rushed out.

In Town...

Mario: Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

Luigi: Can you give us a Hand?!

Mario: GET OFF!!!

Mario & Luigi dragged some Protesters off.

Meggy: Come on, Pomni!

Pomni: What are these people doing?

Meggy: They're being a pain in the ass... they're over-reacting by some Government stuff or something!

Mario: OI, DON'T GO BACK ON THE ROAD!!!

One of the Protesters went back on the Road.

Mario: ARE YOU DEAF?!?!?!

*PUSH*

Mario: OFF!!!

Luigi: He's still going!

*PUNCH*

Protester: OUCH!!!

Mario: I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY, YOU KNOW!!!

Meggy: Me too!

Luigi: *sigh* Welcome to Britain, Pomni...

Pomni: ...

Meanwhile...

Radio: We have some Traffic News... Just Stop Oil protesters are blocking the Roads, once again.

Bob turned the Radio off.

Bob: *sigh* I can't believe this... I'VE BEEN STUCK IN THIS TRAFFIC JAM, FOR 20 GOD-DAMN MINUTES!!! 😡😡😡

He took a Breather.

Bob: I swear to God... if I'm late for some Feet-licking, I'm gonna slaughter these Protester's Throats open!!!

He then had an idea.

Bob: I have an idea... I'll listen to some Music on the CD Player! After all, people still listen to CD Discs now-a-days.

Bob played some Music.

Radio: 🎶 We've got Saka... we've got Foden! With them on the Ball, we will beat them all... we will show them! 🎶

Bob: Ah, now this is proper Music... It's 2024 and it's the Euros in June!!! 

Radio: 🎶 And, we give the Ball to Grealish... we're gonna win, I feel it! 🎶

Bob: Watch out Europe... WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!!!

Radio: 🎶 Let's have no more years of pain... It's Coming Home Again!!! 🎶

Bob: 🎶 NA NA NA NA NA EH EH, FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME AGAIN... NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA, IT'S COMING HOME AGAIN!!! 🎶

Suddenly...

JubJub: COME ON, ENGLAND!!!

Bob: What the hell?!

Bob switched the Radio off.

Bob: JubJub, where did you come from?!

JubJub: Me & Boopkins... Hide & Seek!

Bob: I beg your pardon?!

*PHONE RINGS*

Bob: Jesus!

[PICK UP]

Bob: Hello?

Boopkins: Bob?

Bob: What do you want, Boopkins?!

Boopkins: Have you seen JubJub anywhere? We were playing--

Bob: HE'S IN MY CAR!!!

Boopkins: WHAT?!?!?!

JubJub: YOU SUCK, BOOPKINS!!!

Boopkins: JUBJUB, GET YOUR ASS BACK INSIDE!!!

Bob: I'M STUCK IN TRAFFIC... AND, I CAN'T TURN AROUND!!!

Boopkins: *sigh* Just drive back to the Castle!

Bob: I'm supposed to be licking some Girl's Feet at a McDonald's in 15 minutes!!!

Boopkins: YOU'RE DISGUSTING!!!

JubJub: Can I get a Happy Meal?

Bob: NO!!!

Boopkins: Well, can you bring me back a--

[HANG UP]

Bob: He can shut up and all...

JubJub: I WANT CHICKEN NUGGETS!!!

Bob: *sigh* Today is not my day...

Back with Mario...

Mario: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?!?!

Protester: We need to stop Fossil Fuel!

*SLAP*

Mario: YOU'RE TALKING NONSENSE!!!

Luigi: GET YOUR FRIENDS OFF THE ROAD!!!

Protester: No!

Mario: DID WE STUTTER?!?!?!

Meggy: You're blocking the Road!!!

Protester: We need to save the World!

Mario: And, you need to shut your Mouth before I knock your Lights out!!!

Protester: We glued ourselves onto the Road.

Luigi: YOU DID, WHAT?!?!?!

Mario: THAT'S IT!!!

Mario started to lose it.

Mario: I'M SNAPPING THEIR NECKS!!!

Luigi: That's dark!

Meggy: I'm calling Auri!

Luigi: Looks like we're gonna end up on the News, tonight.

Pomni: Really?

Mario: I can see the Headlines already... "Just Stop Oil Protesters Get Their Asses Kicked".

Meggy: Nice Headline.

...

Mario: Now, stop taking the piss and un-block the Road!!!

Protester: ...

Mario: I'm getting the silent treatment, aren't I?!

Protester: *SCREAMS* AURORA BOREALIS!!!!!

Mario: Huh?!

Then...

https://youtu.be/dtQ9vDzBUMc

*POOF*

Luigi: What the...

Meggy: Mario?!

Luigi: Oh great... they're also Wizards & Witches...

Pomni: How did they do that?!

Meggy: He must've screamed; Aurora Borealis!

Luigi: The Northern Lights?!

Meggy: *SCREAMS* AURORA BOREALIS!!!!!

Nothing happened.

Luigi: You're still here!

Meggy: OH, COME ON!!!

Back with Bob...

JubJub: Are we there yet?

Bob: No!

JubJub: Are we there yet?

Bob: NO!!!

JubJub: Are we there yet?

Bob: DAMMIT, I SWEAR TO GOD... I WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND!!!

JubJub: Foot Licker!

Bob: Oh God, I'm supposed to be there in 10 minutes... but I don't have enough time to drop JubJub back off.

JubJub: The Traffic's moving.

Bob: Thank God.

JubJub: Are we there yet?

...

Bob: *sigh* I can't bring JubJub in there... and I can't leave JubJub in the Car, as well! What the hell am I supposed to do!

JubJub: Hide & Seek.

Bob: No, we're--

Then...

Bob: JubJub, once we get to our destination... how about you be the Seeker?

JubJub: Yay!

Bob: *sigh* What am I doing?
