~Valentine's Day, park~
Mario: (to Spaghetti dakimakura) Oh boi! You & Mario are gonna have a sexy date when we get home
Luigi: ohhhh. What is wrong with you?!
???: *whimpering*
Mario: Hmm. It sounds like a baby's crying over there. (Heads to the nearby gazebo) Oh, it's not a baby. Just Shroomy being his normal self! He's probably trying to get a mental breakdown badge.
Luigi: What's wrong Shroomy?
Shroomy: Oh, I have a date, you see.
Lo: *comes out of nearby bushes* You're telling me bud.
Mario: Wait... (looks onto Lo) Shroomy...has a date...? THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Luigi: Wait, ain't you-
Lo: Guess it's finally time I meet you, Luigi. My name's Lo.
Luigi: Wait, Mario. Is that the same friend you met before the party?
Mario: Sure is. Glad to see you again, bud. (fistbumps Lo)
Luigi: Riiiiiiiiighttt... So you two, who's the lucky girl?
Shroomy: It's the one with the pink ponytails.
Lo: & mine's the blond swirl.
(Sees Zel & Po chatting on a nearby bench)
Mario: I dunno what this is but... it's kinda hot. (Notices his "date") Oh sh*t, I'm sorry.
Luigi: Don't worry. We can help you with your dates.
Shroomy: Shall we do this?
Lo: Let's do it!
(Shroomy is shivering his balls out while walking to them while Lo walks casually)
Zel: Oh, hey there, Lo. & is that?
Shroomy: OH MY GOD! Is that-
Zel: Shroomy! It's so good to see you, former roommate!
Lo: Former roomie?
Zel: Yeah. Lo, do you remember him?
Lo: Of course. He was the first guy to talk to me back then.
Shroomy: & I was glad you still held on to that Switch I gave you. Was it back at home?
Lo: Yeah, I had to re-charge it after a day of grinding.
Shroomy: Anyways, it seems like you have found your match, huh?
(Both Lo & Zel are blushing super hard in that context)
Oh yeah. So... (notices his date & is very jittery at this rate, then he notices Mario & his speak board) Wanna go make paisanos together?!
All: WHUT!!
(Mario gets excited through the line but gets curb stomped by his brother, for which he holds another speak board)
Shroomy: hehe.. oh let's just hang out.
Lo: As.. a double date!
Zel: Yeah, I like that.
(As they're leaving for a ridiculous date, Lo notices something)
Mario: (to the Spaghetti Dakimakura) No one understands true romance but Mari- (gets hit by a Mountain Dew can) OW!
~Tender Tunnel~
(The first stop on the double date is through the stereotypical tunnel of love, but instead of feeling romantical, Lo & Zel are under-whelmed)
Zel: Ughhhhh. These rides are soooooo old-timey.
Lo: You can say that again. I wish something epic were to happen. (that is when Shroomy rips his date's arm off)
Both:0_0
Shroomy: (to Po) Hehe, got your arm. (tosses it behind & lands at their boat)
Lo & Zel: AAAAAAAAAA! KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT!! (Proceeds attacking the arm at no mercy)
Lo's inside mind: That's not what I meant! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
Luigi: ughhhh... I'm gonna need backup.
~ Movie Theatre~
Zel: Whoo. What a nightmare.
Lo: I know right? Let's hope this movie can take our minds off of-
Zel: Quiet. It's starting.
(That is when Boopkin's movie started where it went from bad to worse)
(The Teletubby then yeets itself to the mushroom making love)
Both (Lo & Zel): (empties popcorn buckets & barfs in unison)
Po: THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING!
(The rest, except Po, left in mortal horror)
Boopkins: You like it Shroomy? Shroomy?
(As Boopkins leaves the theater, he notices Lo & Zel trying to empty their buckets)
Boopkins: Oh hey you two. Do you like the movie?
Lo: Zel, a word. (he then whispers to her for a disclosed time & then agrees)
Zel: I would not try to be mean to you, but here's what we're thinking about your film. (disposes of the barf bucket to him)
Lo: Come on Zel, let's head to something more decent!
(Suddenly, he holds her hand as they get out of the theater. Zel notices it & feels flustered, but not more than Lo does)
Lo's inside mind: OH GOD! OH F**k! OH F**K! OH F**k!
Luigi: (to Boopkins) So, how did it go?
Boopkins: ohhhh mannn.
~Fun Fair~
Tari: (to Shroomy) You know what you should do? Get her a plushie! Girls like plushies. Oh, look, how convenient, a plush duck! Oh my gosh (gets mesmerized with the duck)
Zel: I know how this works. You should toss those balls into these cans to win a prize.
Duke Nukem, the carny: I got balls of steel.
(Whiffs out pricing: 1 ball = $5.00)
Shroomy: Aw man, I only have 1 attempt
Lo: Me too
Tari: Psst. FOCUS!
Shroomy: You can do it Shroomy! Do it for her! Good sir, I'll buy 1 ball plz.
Lo: Me too.
Lo: Hey Zel, is Shroomy alright?
(Notices him alight with determination)
Zel: Yeahhhh... that happens every time he tries to take a shot.
(Shroomy then tosses it in full power only to kill the carny)
Lo: 0_0. Well, at least I can make a better shot, right? (Tosses ball into a creeper, causing it to explode the entire stand) Here are your prizes.
(Zel receives a golden duck plushie while Popo has the carny)
Tari: (snatches the duck from Zel's grasp) MMMMMYYYYYY PRECIOUSSSSSSSS!
~Convienience Store~
Bob: alright you two, if you want those bitches 2 love u, u gonna show 'em If u show ur badge collection, I'm gonna kick yer ass! U gonna show 'em your money bro!
Lo: (notices a nearby jellybean contest stand) Hmmm.
Shroomy: (counts his money from a piggy bank) 3 dimes!
Po: ok
Bob: o 4 the love of God!
Lo: I had $1000!
Zel: WHUT? HOW?!
Lo: Oh. I just ate all of the jellybeans from this guy over there.
Monty Mole: my life was a lie :(
Bob: (to Lo) I would've been mad 4 u if I wasn't so damn impressed. Good work, Lo.
~Shroomy's room~
(For the next part of the date, Bob has Shroomy show his new room after moving out, which looks very bland, to say the least)
Zel: Wow. This... was sad.
Lo: That was a lot of badges [whatta nerd]
Shroomy: This... (shows his bed) This is where things get hot. It's where I ... SLEEP!
Bob: I give up, that's it! (yeats himself off the window)
~Mall~
Saiko: (If you two want to be in a relationship, you'd have to learn to be tough!)
Shroomy: But why? There's no need to fight!
Saiko: (Then what are you going to do about THOSE?)
Wario: (to Zel) Aw, that's hot!
Lo: I GOT THIS! (walks up to Wario) HEY YOU, GARLIC MAN!
Wario: (faces onto Lo) DA FUK U SAY ABOUT ME?
Saiko: (to both, [SHOW THAT YOU'RE BIGGER THAN HIM!])
Lo: I HAD ASCENDED TO GOD IN THIS GAME'S LEADERBOARDS A FEW DAYS AGO & YOU CAN'T TAKE AN ASS AGAINST ME! SO YOU BETTER STAY BACK OR I'LL USE THIS ALREADY-BOUGHT BAZOOKA AGAINST YOU!
Wario: Make me!
Saiko: (NOW KICK HIS ASS!)
Lo: (clicks trigger & sends Wario flying) Now that went well. (Notices the beheaded Shroomy, who had gone against an ogre) What happened to you?
~Beach~
Lo: Whew. I say this date went better than expected. I wonder if I can make it better...
Meggy: You know you should just go tell her how you feel...
Lo: Are you sure? Even Shroomy doesn't feel well about this.
Shroomy: It's true.
Meggy: Nothing exciting happens till you go out of your comfort zone.
Lo: (thinks about it) OK. Let's do this! Are you with me, pal?
Shroomy: Till the end!
Lo: Zel. There's something for me to say.
Zel: Actually, I have something too.
Lo: Okay, on the count of 3, we'll say it out loud, right?
Zel: Right.
Lo: 1, 2,
Both: I DON'T THINK WE'll BE ON THE NEXT LEVEL YET!
Lo: What?
Zel: Yeah. This relationship thing has gone by so fast. I think...
Lo: ... we should take things slow?
Zel: (blushes) Man, you know so much, right?
Lo: (puts on his hoodie, blushing) Indeed.
Zel: There's one last thing to say.
Lo: Hmm?
Zel: (leans close to Lo, savoring the moment... & yanks down his hoodie) LAST ONE IN THE ROOM HAS TO PAY FOR PIZZA! (Runs into room)
Lo: Oh it's on! (Proceeds to follow)
(Meanwhile, the brothers & Meggy overlook the two couples. One still at large, & one separated)
Luigi: Love is complicated
Mario: Love is dumb
Meggy: (facepalms) You guys got that right.
(That was when Mario saw Maya picking up the two. Upon locking onto her gaze, he feels as if there is something much more than spaghetti)
Luigi: Bro, are you ok?
Mario: (looks on the pillow) I'm sorry, but it was not you, it's me. (throws away the pillow & joins the two) Hey, wait up!
Meggy: Did Mario just find someone that wasn't pasta?
Luigi: I don't even know anymore...
