     It was about 6 in the morning, and Mario and Riba were already outside. 

Riba: Hmm.. I wonder why we're up so early?

Mario: You woke me up...  (yawns)

Riba: Hehe, you can rest on my shoulders if you want. 

Mario: Alright. 

 Riba picks Mario up, and puts him on his shoulders. After that, he starts walking further from the house. 

Riba: Anywhere specific you want to go?

Mario: Meh, anywhere is fine.

Riba: Alright!

 Riba continues walking. He walks into a nearby forest. He looks around at the trees, while Mario is looking up at the sky, watching the sunrise. 

Riba: (Takes a deep breath) .... I wonder what our new life is going to be like.. 

Mario: I'm sure it's going to be absolutely wonderful.

Riba: Also.. what's a... New Donk City? I don't think you've told me about that.

Mario: New Donk City is a.. well, a city. Far, far away from the Mushroom Kingdom. It's big, beautiful, most of the people there are nice, and at night, there's a lot of lights that shine throughout the city from the buildings. It's kind of like New York.

Riba: That sounds nice. Wait, what's, New York? 

Mario: Heh, well, New York is just the name of the state. There's many cities there. I was trying to say that New Donk City is like New York City. 

Riba: Oh. 

Mario: Yeah. New York City is.. kind of in a different world I should say.

Riba: Different world?

Mario: Mhm. Last time I was there, Luigi and I were trying to fix someone's bathtub, and we got sucked down the drain of it. That's how we ended up in the Mushroom kingdom. And we just stayed there ever since. 

Riba: Huh.. 

  Riba then stops for a moment.

Riba: So you're telling me, that there are places.. outside of here??

Mario: Yes..? I guess... 

Riba: ...... Well I hope we explore them someday.

Mario: Yeah.. me too.

   Riba continues walking until he reaches a cliff.

Mario: This wind feels nice.

Riba: Mhm. 

Riba:...... Hey..

Mario: Hm? 

Riba: Do you think that.. we'll always be together in our new lives?

Mario: Yeah.. I'm sure we will. In fact, I'm positive about it! 

Riba: Yeah.... We're always going to be stuck together..

Mario: Glued together.

Riba: Exactly.

Mario and Riba chuckle, then things go quiet again.
