3rd Person POV
After successfully completing half of the Beanstar, they headed to their next destination where another piece of the Beanstar was last seen.

Once they arrived, Ringo noticed a small sign somewhere.

"Splart Assistant, Inquire Within: Ask for Harhall?" Ringo read a sign.

"What's this for?" Ash asked.

As they ventured further into the forest, they found a Beanstar piece... but it was in a cage.

"Who would put the Beanstar piece in a cage?" Goh asked. As they tried to pick the lock, a loud voice heard. They turned around and saw a man run past them.

"Im-impossible! No WAY am I working with explosive colors like those!" He said.

Another man followed after. "Water...drank...too much...water..." He said. Everyone looked confused at this moment. Then, a Beanish person wearing flashy clothes was tapping his foot to the ground furiously.

"Honestly! What is one to do with such riffraff?!" He said.

"Uh, excuse me, sir–" (Y/N) said.

"Oh! Welcome! WELCOME! I am called Harhall, genius designer. And I am also called Bleetch. Yes, we are one and the same!" He said before his expression turned angry again. "Did you know?"

"Uh..."

"DID YOU KNOW?!"

"Uh... Yes! Of course, Mr. Harhall, sir!" Mario said with everyone agreeing nervously.

'Honestly, I don't even know who's who...' Everyone thought at the same time.

"Yes, yes, whatever. Am I correct in assuming you're interested in the Splart Assistant opening?" Harhall asked. Before anyone could answer, he interrupted them.

"Fine, fine. If you do a decent enough job, I'll pay you. Your pay will be..." He said before he pointed to the cage containing the Beanstar piece. "A bean-like thing that cascaded down from the heavens! Tah-dah!"

"So, he DOES have the Beanstar piece," Amitie whispered.

"But there's a catch," (Y/N) whispered.

"What? Do you have some sort of complaint? HM?!" Harhall said angrily.

"N-No! No! Nothing, sir. Nothing at all," (Y/N) said.

'I swear. I wanna punch this dude in the throat,' she thought.

"That's better. Now, then," Bleetch said before he walked to three large pipes filled with water. As soon as he tapped his foot to the ground, three Bob-ombs in different colors, red, blue, and yellow, came out of the pipes.

"You can help me with my Splart right away! But you must be snappy! Just do it and get it done!" He said as the Designbombs returned to their locations.

"Now don't mind me! I'll just give you a little advice while you work. Trust me, you'll need it. First, go have yourself a drink so you can become a proper Splart water pump! Once you're able to pump out water like a human fire hydrant... Step on these little foot marks! Try it!" He said.

Mario went to the fire hydrant and started chugging the water until he's like a fat balloon. He then went to the mat and stepped on the mat with Luigi behind him.

"Now then, I'll explain the method to my genius! Though the genius of Splart defies expectation..." Bleetch said before snapping his fingers, making a blue Designbomb appear while a white shirt raised up in the distance.

"First, you must dye the fabric! Shoot water at the Designbomb! Try it already! Try it!" He said.

Luigi then whacked Mario on the head with his hammer, making him spit out a ball of water at the blue Designbomb, crashing it into the white shirt, turning it blue.

"The color of the Designbomb you hit colors the fabric! Oh, by the way, if you hit two Designbombs at the same time, then the fabric color becomes a mixture of those two colors! Don't forget! It's vital to Splart!" Harhall said.

"Oh! And one more teensy thing: if you're dyeing fabric and you think 'Barf! That's all wrong!', just talk to Bleetch! He'll make the fabric nice and shiny white for you!" He added, then a Designbomb with a checkered pattern.

"Once you're done dyeing, then you can choose your design! So you get to shoot water at the artsy bombs again! Go on!" He said.

Luigi then whacked Mario on the head, making him spit at the checkered Designbomb, giving the shirt a checkered pattern.

"The design of the Designbomb you shoot alters the design on your duds! The Designbomb patterns are... The tropical design... the polka-dot design... and the checkered design! By the way, if you hit two or more Designbombs, the pattern always ends up being a star! Remember that!" He said. Everyone nodded furiously.

"Once you're done with the design, I'll decide if it perfectly matches the artistic vision of Splart! So, yeah. Anyway, that's the method to my genius, and now I'll need you to finish four outfits for me, OK? Hop to it!" He said.

*Lazy timeskip*

The shirt-designing process was all finished. Every single shirt was in different colors and different patterns. Bleetch looked satisfied.

"Splendid! We're all done here!" Bleetch clapped. "This means I must pay you with a bean-like thing, as promised! Follow me and get your pay!" He said. He then led them to the Beanstar piece in the locked cage and undid the lock.

"Here is the bean-thing I promised you! Take it!" He said. Mario then picked up the Beanstar piece.

"Great! We're only halfway done!" (Y/N) said.

"Now, let's get back to Beanbean Castle!" Mario said.

"You are the best employees I ever had! Dunno what this whole 'Beanstar' thing is about, but if I need help again, I'll be coming to you!" Harhall said.

"This is it! Only one more Beanstar piece left to find! Let's keep it up!" Mario said.
