We're Friends Now, Aren't We? (SMG34)

(Takes place after the IGBP movie)
''Really? You'd do that for me?''
''Eh, sure. Whatever. I kinda own that Starbucks, you know.''
''I...I don't know what to say! Thank you so much, Three...''
''Heh. We're friends now, aren't we? Even I wouldn't want to see you on the streets, Four.''

After the IGBP movie, the SMG4 crew is left with a gaping demonic pit where the castle once stood, but ignoring Princess Peach, everyone still has a place to stay. Except Four, of course.

SMG4 had originally planned to stay with Mario, but at the last minute he backed out of the offer, not wanting to impose on Luigi. Back to square one, it seemed... until his old rival decided to help him out, just this once. For some weird reason.
