Paper Mario 64; Partner's Stories

Episode 38

Goombario's Log Day 38: After our side questing yesterday, we set off for Lavalava Island on the back of a whale. That's so cool! For some reason Kolorado thought it was a fish, but no, whales are actually mammals. Oh yeah, Kolorado is here with us as well. He's out looking for treasure in Mt. Lavalava or something. Let's just hope he doesn't get himself killed or something. 

Kooper's Log Day 33: screams I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Kolorado is going on an adventure with us on Lavalava Island! This is all I've been dreaming about since I was a child and now I finally get to see the koopa, the myth, the legend in action! I'm so happy right now I could explode! Well, if I was a Bob-omb, which I'm not. But whatever, I have to do whatever it takes to impress Kolorado so he can let me join him on his next adventure. 

Bombette's Log Day 32: So, this is the great Kolorado, huh? You know, the way Kooper talked him up and after meeting him in Dry Dry Desert for the first time, I wasn't all too impressed. But now that he's joining us and I've seen him in action, I realized I was wrong about him. He's a coward and a horrible husband and adventurer living a mid-life crisis all for the glory of treasure he'll never find. Goomba, what does Kooper see in that Koopa anyway? 

Parakarry's Log Day 27: I gotta say, riding on top of a whale to travel to Lavalava Island was something I did not expect to happen today, but here we are. Although, I myself, Bow, and Watt didn't ride the whale since, you know, we can fly. But hey at least we made it to the island, and I got to deliver the letter to the red Yoshi kid on the island, who has now disappeared along the Yoshi kids. That's pretty serious and we'd better find them and fast. 

Bow's Log Day 16: I have to hand it to these Yoshi's this island is incredible. It's just so relaxing and calming. I know I keep saying this but this place is so much better than Boos Mansion. There I'm afraid something's gonna break if I move a vase wrong. Here though, it's so laid back and soothing here. I might have to take a vacation here one day when this is done. 

Watt's Log Day 6: Wow. I never knew a whale's insides were so big. Mr. whale was pretty fun. He even gave us a ride to the island. I'm happy we made his belly feel better. 

Arriving in the village 

Goombario: So, this is Yoshi's Village? 

 Bow: Looks like it. It's pretty calming here not gonna lie. 

Karry: sigh It's a place where you can just lay down and let all your troubles vanish. 

 Watt: Yeah, nothing could possibly go wrong here. 

five minutes later 

Yoshi's: screaming about their missing children 

Watt: That didn't last long. 

???: Ah ha! There ye are! 

Goombario: Huh? Who said that? 

Sushie shows up 

Sushie: You! You be the ones who arrived not too long ago. I saw ye talking to the little lads not five minutes ago and suddenly they vanish without a trace. 

Bow: Are you accusing us of kidnapping children, miss!? 

Sushie: Ah, of course not. I know there be no dark magic or foul play at stake here. Those kids must have squandered off when I wasn't lookin. Now they could be anywhere in the jungle. 

Karry: Don't worry. We'll find those kids and bring them back safe. 

Watt: You have our word madam. 

 Sushie: Thank you for your generosity. Please, tell me your names. 

Goombario: Well, I'm Goombario, and these are... 

Sushie: slaps Goombario 

Goombario: OW! What was that for!? 

Sushie: That be for calling me slimy and scaly the other day. 

Goombario: I literally just got here! When could I have called you that!? Wait... you didn't happen to be around the Toad Town port at some point, right. 

Sushie: Naw. I just had a ting on me back telling me a Goomba was calling fish slimy and scaly and that I would kick their butt one day. And you admit to the truth? 

Goombario: Um, I guess I did say that at some po... 

Sushie proceeds to slap the shell out of Goombario while the others just watch 

Karry: Uh, we're gonna go now. Catch up with you later, ok? all of them leave 

meanwhile with Kooper and Bombette 

Bombette: sitting in silence, still crossed 

Kooper: walks in What was that for? 

Bombette: What? 

Kooper: So a good friend stands up for someone to knock some much needed sense into a guy who clearly needs it, causing him to run off, and yet you're mad at me? 

Bombette: You don't get it you shell head now get lost. 

Kooper: No. stands his ground What's your deal? That guy wasn't going to leave you alone and I stuck up for myself not just for my house, but for your own sanity and yet I'm the bad guy here? 

Bombette: I didn't 'need' your help. I could have dealt with that problem all by myself. I don't need some man to tell me what to do and how to solve any problems. 

Kooper: Oh, ok. I understand now. So if Mario never came along and asked you to blow up the cage in Koopa Bros. Fortress, you would have been stuck there for the rest of your life, huh? 

Bombette: What are you trying to say? 

Kooper: I'm saying that you need to learn let others give you a hand. We are on this adventure together, and we all need to pitch in to save the world. But you know what, fine. If you think you can solve any problem by yourself, then be my guest. But if you get yourself in danger, don't expect me to reach my hand out for you. walks away 

Bombette: Fine! Be that way! I don't need your help anyway! ... sees the others leaving Hey! Wait up!
