Smg4 was running as fast as he could with his bag filled with bugs. He then bumped into Melony who took one look at the squirming items inside and said "Oh no! It's happening to you too?" Four nodded and was just about to say something until someone called out "SAME HERE!" Both of them turned to find Three running away from the same clingy pests. He tried swatting them with his hat, but it barely did anything.

Four went back to what he was going to say, ignoring the struggle of his partner. "I was just on my way to Tari's to see if she could help." Melony and Three quickly agreed as they sprinted off to Tari's house. Once arriving, they were going to open the door, but a wave of bugs burst the door open before they could even knock. "...Or maybe not..."

Tari's ressidence was flooded with nothing but colorful bugs. "Tari do something!" She was freaking out while trying to avoid and objects coming her way. "I tried everything! Begging, pleading, beseeching, asking politely."

"You didn't think to use your arm?" Three asked in a accusatory manner. Four was horrified at what could happen when Smg1 and Smg2 arrived. He had a terrible vision, imagining the meme guardians arriving, only to be swept away by a bunch of hungry bugs. Once he snapped out of his thoughts, he yelled to his friends "If we don't fix this before Smg1 and Smg2 arrive, it's going to be a total disaster!"

Three watched the vermin swarming and said back "If you ask me, it's already a total disaster." Four glared at him. "Not helping Three." Meggy suddenly showed up with a whole bunch of food. "Here's everything you ordered from McDonald's Tari. Why'd you need so much?" Her question was immediately answered when the bugs gobbled up the food in an instant. "HEY!"

An idea struck in Four's mind. "I've got it! Meggy can use her splashiest skills to round up these bugs." Meggy thought about it for a second and replied "I think I can manage, but I'll need everyone's help."

She began listing out what her friends needed to do. "Four and Melony, wait for me when I bring the critters right towards you. Three and Tari, make sure that they don't fly away." Everyone got in their positions as Meggy took out her splatshot. She soon began to fire ink, startling the creatures right into Four and Melony's direction. Tari and Three began forcing ones on the side towards Meggy. Once they had all them corned, they directed them back towards the forest. Three noticed a few trying to escape, but he quickly forced them back in the other direction. Four was running until he noticed a man with a big nose and mustache next to him. "Mario!?"

"Smg4 we don't have much time!" Obviously. Could he not tell what they were doing? "You're telling me! Smg1 and Smg2 could be arriving any minute!" Mario nodded with a confident look. "Exactly! Mario needs you help him find some shaky sticks!" Four looked at him like he was speaking in tongues.

"Shaky sticks? You mean maracas? Mario we have bigger problems than some missing instruments!" Mario gasped as he seemed to finally understand. "Smg4's right! Getting a tuba should be Mario's top priority! Follow Mario!" He sprinted off in the other direction, but Four didn't stop.

When Mario noticed that nobody was behind him, he came back with a confused face. "Mario said to follow him!" Three came up to Mario and said "You are such an idiot Mario." He groaned and shouted back as he ran off "And you all are being so stubborn to Mario!" Meggy could see the forest up ahead. "Forget him guys! We're almost there!" They had made it as they watched the bugs fly into the forest. "We did it! Good job Meggy!" She smiled and said "I couldn't have done without you guys." There wasn't much time to celebrate their victory as Four said "Let's get back and clean up the mess they made before Smg1 and Smg2 arrive."

There was still a good few hours left before the meme guardians were arriving. Tari went up to her house and opened the door....only to be met with another huge swarm of bugs. They all stood in shock as Four shouted "Where the heck did they come from!?" Tari smiled sheepishly and pulled out a cute little bug. "I may have kept just one..." They all stared at her angrily as she stuck her hands out in defense. "I just couldn't help myself. They're so cute!"

As they flew around Four called out "We don't have time to keep rounding up these things! What do we do now!?" Three appeared with a vacuum cleaner and said "I say we solve this with violence!" He turned the dial up to maximum pressure and sucked up all the bugs. "Take that you stupid bugs!" The others tried clinging on to something so they wouldn't get sucked in themselves. "Nice job Three!" Meggy sighed in relief. "Looks like our problems are solved."

Mario came back with some cymbals. "Your problems will be solved thanks to these!" Suddenly, the pressure of the vacuum swiped the cymbals right out of Mario's hands. "Hey give that back stinky!" With the cymbals now sucked into the vacuum, it started malfunctioning. "Nice going Mario!" Three called out as the machine exploded, sending him into a tree. With nothing left to stop them, they all watched as the bugs flew off to the center of the Mushroom Kingdom, right where the celebration for Smg1 and Smg2's arrival was happening.

Mario watched with a dumb expression, calling out "Ooooo you're in trouble now." An angry Four yelled "MARIO! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!" Three, Meggy, Melony, and Tari were just as upset as he was. Mario yelled back "Mario's lost a brand new pair of cymbals! That's what he's done!"

They have about had it with this ridiculous obsession of Mario's. "Will you forget about your stupid instruments for one second! Your ruining our efforts to save the Mushroom Kingdom!" Mario was insulted and appalled. "Mario!? Ruin!? Mario is not the ruiner! He is the ruinee! Or is it ruin us...ruinet..." Meggy just rolled her eyes at him and headed towards town.

"Come on guys! You can't reason with him. He's just stupid." They all ran off while Mario shouted back "Hey! Mario is trying to tell you that your all the ruiners! If you would all just listen to Mario!" It was too late. They were long gone.
