SMG4: He's Gotta Be Safe

Chapter 2: The Developing Castle

Rampant knocking was heard at the RV door.

Four: "Euhhh... Who is it?"

The door flew open, and a red plumber waddled in. "Hey Four! The crew is expecting you today at the new castle site."

He scratched his head. Right, they're expected at the site today for the final touches. He barely even got any sleep last night, so it was going to be hard to focus on the tasks at hand.

Four grunted, steadily getting out of bed. "Okay, do you want to go anywhere before we head over?"

Mario went into big brain mode, intensely putting his brain cell to work. "Aha! Can we go to Mcdonald's?"

Four: "Didn't you have some yesterday?"

Mario pleaded, making puppy eyes. "Pleaseeeee!"

Four rolled his eyes. "Fine, we'll get some maccas real quick."

Mario: "YAYYY!" He flew around the RV, nearly breaking Four's laptop in the process.

Four screamed, rushing over towards his laptop. "MARIO! Be CAREFUL."

Mario frowned. "Sorry..." He ran to the front of the vehicle. "Anyways, TO MCDONALD'S WE GO!!"

Four sluggishly went to the wheel, putting instructions on the GPS. "Uh huh... let's go."

They drove off. The weather was relatively alright in their area. The wind wasn't strong and the sun provided enough warmth in the atmosphere. There also wasn't much traffic on the highway and such. Mario happened to not be such a nuisance at that moment. It was perfect for Four, but maybe a little too perfect. When he took a glance at the GPS, it was telling him to take a road that doesn't exist. It happened to be the only one that can even lead them to the location.

Four: "Mario, can you change the route to go to the next Mcdonald's? I can't really go to the one displayed on the map."

Mario nodded, looking up at the device to see if there were any more in the area. Nothing came back, only the completely inaccessible restaurant was displayed.

Four sighed, not being in the mood for an argument. "...I guess we should try that one then, so hold on tight." He steered the car harshly to the left, flinging it into a large forest. He continued on that path, past the looming evergreen trees and trampling the thorny bushes in his way. As he was mindlessly driving, Mario did a victory dance and bounced around the car again. "Don't. Break. My. Laptop." Four warned him. Mario continued on with his winning movements, one of them being a tornado spin.

Loud thuds were heard all over the place. Soon, those were the only sounds present in the room. Maybe, he could relax, Four thought. Out of nowhere, he heard a scream from the fat italian. "Mario." He rotated to get a view of Mario, who was shaking while looking at a window. The first thing that was spotted though was his editing device on the floor. "WHAT DID I TELL YOU?!"

Mario whimpered. "GREG IS BACK... AND HE'S MAKING ME READ."

Four's fury dissipated, replaced with uncertainty. "Wh- huh?" When he turned back to the front, he realized what Mario was talking about. In the surrounding areas, there were multiple random aliens scattered around holding signs. They were protesting for something, but what for? The creatures also seemed to be upset with him and Mario, hence the repetitive banging on the walls. The solution to this? Drive away real fast.

Mario: "Phew, I can't see the readings anymore."

All of a sudden, the RV stopped. Four checked everything to see what the issue was. "Ah right, I forgot to get gas." He groaned, hitting his head on the steering wheel. "UGHHHHH." He then observed the GPS to see if there was a nearby gas station. Yes, there was one just a couple feet away! He hopped up and grasped Mario. "Okay little man, we gotta go get some gas."
