"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GONNA WORK AT THAT PLACE?!?!!" Mario screams towards Meggy who is already wearing her security guard uniform.
Meggy: I gotta pay back my college debt somehow, Mario. I'm sorry.
"Then- Then let Mario help! Mario can just steal some money from Peach again and it will surely-"
Meggy: No no... I gotta get the money legally this time and I'm sure that we'll get caught someday doing that. I don't know about you but I'm not really gonna risk adding more problems to my list...
Mario sighs in a defeated tone
"Ok... Fine.... But, can you atleast do me a favour?" Mario asks with sweat on his forehead
Meggy: Of course Mario. What is it?
"There will be a phone in your office. Mario wants you to mute that and just call me instead because Mario will help you throughout your shift." Meggy puts on her guard hat.
Meggy: Uhhh ok? Have you worked at this place before?
Mario lets out a sigh, "Yes... Just follow what Mario tells you, ok?"
Meggy: Ok, I trust you. Watch over my house for me while I'm gone will you?
"Mario promises to keep the house safe, don't worry!"
They both go outside for Mario's kart as they drive off to the spaghettiria, "Don't forget what Mario tells you, ok?".
Meggy: I got it, Mario. Why is this place concerning you, anyway?
"Because Mario has worked there before! It's dangerous! The place has moving animatronics!" Mario says in a louder tone.
Meggy: Well you said before so I'm sure the placed and the animatronics have been fixed now.
Mario: Hmm... Well Mario's not really sure...
"I mean they are hiring now after some time so yeah! They probably fixed those animatronics now." Meggy cheerfully says as they finally made it to the spaghettria.
"This place doesn't look like it changed a bit" Mario thinks to himself.Meggy: Alright, bye Mario!
Mario grabs her and as she waves goodbye, "Meggy I really think you should reconsider-" Meggy sighs at she stepped back closer to him.
Meggy: Mario, I understand your concern but I promise you that I'll be fine.
"But Meggy! What if-"
Meggy: I will be fine Mario and if it really is as dangerous like you said then I will quit tomorrow because I can't now. Ok?
Mario lets her hand go after a few seconds, "Ok Meggy... Sorry..." Meggy grabs his face before giving his nose a kiss.
Meggy: Hey hey, it's ok. I understand why you're very hesitant to let me work here. I don't blame you and plus I know I'll be fine because I got you to look over me right?
He sighs to the question, "Yeah... I am but just be safe ok, Meggy?".
Meggy: I will Mario.
Meggy walks inside to get to the security room after exchanging a hug with Mario but not before clocking in, "I'm sure it won't be that bad." She turns the fan on while fanning herself with the hat. "Jesus... It's hot in here.". The phone on her desk begins to ring for a few seconds before Meggy eventually picked up the phone.
