It's been a while since Smg4 and Smg3 went on a date.
Mario worries about Smg4's mental state, but there's no way he can help out... directly.
The mature stuff happens in chapter 10, all other chapters are fine.
The two meme guardians had made it to their destination, a restaurant Fm had recommended, the Chanterelle. Four gulped, it looked very fancy.
They made their way inside and talked with the hostess about their reservation, she said their table would be ready in a few minutes.
"Damn, Fm really knows where to find a good restaurant." Three said.
Four nodded. "Yeah, this is where..." Four became quiet, he looked down. "They had their first date."
Three put his arm over Four. "Hey, why are you talking like your friends died? C'mon man, they wouldn't want you too mope over their past relationship."
Four felt his face becoming pink. "Yeah, you're right."
Soon enough their table was ready, as Four was handed the menus he couldn't help but look at how expensive everything was.
'Damn, Fourteen bucks for some appetizers. Twenty-five for a whole bottle of wine!? Whose coming up with these prices?'
Jeeves walked over to the table with the couple. "Hello, my name is Jeeves and I'll be your waiter this evening." The fork noticed who he was serving. "Oh, it's you two, is the red one with you?"
Three chuckled. "Thankfully, no. It's just us two on a date."
Jeeves look relieved to hear that, he let out a sigh of relief. "Good, now what can I get you two for drinks?"
Mario kept whining and begging, and even once tried to rush past Meggy to follow Smg4 so he doesn't do something stupid. It all became too much for Meggy to deal with alone, so she called Tari for backup.
Tari had gotten a new metal arm after the old one was sliced by the saws in the sorceress's castle.
It was mostly the same, but it now had blue accents lines and on the back of the hand was the emblem that resembled a bird's wing.
"Mario, don't you think Smg3 can't take care of Smg4? I mean, he does have a degree in psychology." Tari innocently shrugged.
Mario huffed. "This not just about Smg4 hurting himself, but also Smg3!"
"What do you mean by that?" Meggy asked, titling her head.
"Smg3 has an asshole ex. What if Smg4 does something or says something that asshole did." Mario explained.
Meggy blinked. "That's... surprisingly smart of you."
Mario's eyes widen in fear. Crap! He supposed to play dumb. "Or even worse, he pulls a Mario and gets his pingas get stuck in a door."
Both Meggy and Tari deadpanned. "Aaaand, it's gone." Meggy slouched.
"Oh, I know!" Tari brought out a controller. "Why don't we play some videogames? That will probably get your mind off of things."
Mario got an idea. "Sounds good to Mario! But first, Mario's got to take a piss." The plumber made his way to the bathroom.
Tari looked worryingly at Meggy. "Uh, what if he tries to escape through the bathroom window?"
Meggy waved her hand. "No way. That thing has been stuck shut when I first bought this place. Besides, even if he did get it open, there's no way he could get through without getting stuck.
Mario closed the bathroom door behind him. He got out his phone and began his plan.
"Hello! Mario needs your help with something very important."
Four had to hold in his laughter. "There's no way your brother thought that people dabbing was a recent trend."
Three chuckled. "Yeah, he thought it was from 2021. The look of horror on his face when I told him it was 2016. God, that was such a long time ago, fuck, I feel old now."
"I mean, that's not the only thing that happened in 2016." Four winked. His face blushing.
Three put his hands to hide his blushing face. "How can you say that so causally?"
Four shrugged. "I don't know." He felt his phone go off in his pocket, oh it was 6pm already. "Uh, I'll be right back, my bladder has terrible timing."
Three watched as Four scurried off to the bathroom, a concerned look on his face.
Four let the bathroom door fully shut behind him before he took out his medication.
He felt guilty for not telling anyone that he was taking these, but after being possessed and having your body used to try and summon a god, your mental health can really take a toll.
He popped the pills in his mouth and drank some of the sink water to wash it down. Four looked up from the sink to look at the mirror. Someone was behind him...

It was the sorceress. Four's eyes widen in fear as she stared him down. Her yellow eyes pierced through his soul.
Four quickly turned around to face her, only to see no one was behind him after all. Four let out a sigh of relief.
The door began to open. Four quickly grabbed his prescription bottle and put it back into his pockets.
Slenderman walked in and started at the meme man.
"Uh, hey Slendy... Long time no see." Four awkwardly did finger guns.
Slenderman said nothing.
Four fake coughed. "Well, I'll leave you to it. Uh, nice seeing you."
"You, okay?" Three looked worried. "You were in there for a while."
Crap, had Four really lost track of time in there? How long was he looking at the mirror before he turned around.
"Yeah, I just happened to see Slenderman." Four half lied.
Three let out a deep breath, he smiled. "How does Mario befriend so many monsters? First was Slenderman, then Sirenhead, and then Huggy-Wuggy. Who's next? Mothman?"
