Fred: Um, let’s see… Maybe a… No, that’s not good. How about… No, that might get me arrested. I got it!

Morton runs in the room.

Morton: Fred! I got in trouble with King Dad for eating all of the wedding cake in our house, so he’s making me go try to catch Mario.

Fred: That’s great, now go do that. I am trying to write a new Scribble. I need to think.

Morton: No, actually, to tell you the truth, since you really seem you want to know, I am making you come with me, since you are my pet mole.

Fred: But I don’t want to!

Morton: Too bad!

Morton drags Fred out of room- make that the castle.

Morton: Ok, so I already have a great idea. We get a giant net and tape it to the top of Mario’s house, and when we set it up, we will make it so that when Mario opens the door, the net will catch him!

Fred: Um, what about the possibility that…

Morton: Nope! No suggestions. I am sure this will work. Let’s go!

Fred: This ought to be good.

Morton and Fred go to Mario’s house and set up a giant net above Mario’s door.

Fred: Where did you get the giant net?

Morton: Koopazon.

Fred: Ok…

Morton: Ok. Now, let’s wait for Mario to come outside.

Meanwhile, Mario is in his house, reading a shirt tag out loud.

Mario: DO NOT WASH WITHOUT DRY-CLEANING SOAP!

Luigi: Mario, we have to go pick up Toad from the airport.

Mario: Not now, Luigi, I am reading a very interesting novel.

Luigi: You’re reading a shirt tag.

Mario: Nuh-uh!

Luigi: Yes, you are.

Mario: No, I’m not!

Mario starts throwing a tantrum and runs around the house.

Luigi: *sigh* I’ll go.

Luigi walks out of the house and gets trapped in the net.

Luigi: Ahh! Help me!

Morton: Yes! We caught him!

Fred: Actually, you caught Luigi.

Morton: You are right. I can’t do anything with him.

Morton flings Luigi right into Boo’s Mansion.

Bow: Look who it is!King Boo: Yes, we must welcome him.

Luigi: *gulp*

Back with Morton and Fred…

Fred: You do realize that we could have captured Luigi instead, right?

Morton: Whatever, I have a better idea. We set up a giant mousetrap. Mario loves cheese so we will be able to easily get him into the trap.

Fred: This has to be interesting.

Morton and Fred set up a giant mouse trap on a path.

Fred: Where did you get that?

Morton: I searched for it on KOOPLE shopping.

Fred: Why do you keep spoofing websites?

Morton: Because I feel like it.

Fred rolls his eyes.

Morton: This trap will work better than the last because only Mario loves cheese this much, so we will only get Mario.

Fred: Shh! Here he comes.

Mario comes skipping down the path.

Mario: Hum-de-dum-de-da!

He comes to a complete stop in front of the cheese.

Mario: CHEESE!!!

Mario jumps to the cheese, grabs it, eats it in one bite, and skips away.

Morton: Why didn’t that work?! Fred, go investigate the trap.

Fred: Fine.

Fred walks to the mousetrap to investigate.

*SNAP!*

Fred: OW. Why does this seem like an episode of that show where the cat tries to kill the mouse but the mouse ends up hurting the cat in a lot of different, painful ways?

Morton: You mean Tim and Jeremy?

Fred: Yeah, something like that.

Morton: It does sort of seem like that.

Fred: Can I go home yet?

Morton: Not until we make several more failing attempts.

Fred: This shouldn’t take long.

Morton: I have a new idea. It’s a new version of the mousetrap idea. We set up a giant cage with a piece of cheese in it. We (by we, I mean you) will lock the gate ourselves.

Fred: Whatever, let’s see how this turns out.

They set up the giant cage.

Fred: I don’t even want to know where you got that.

Morton: Actually, you don’t.

Fred: Ok, now I want to know.

Morton whispers it in Fred’s ear.

Fred: Wow!

Morton: I know. Anyways, this trap will work. He’s coming! Are you ready?

Fred (who is sitting onp to of the cage with a rope attached to the gate): Yep.

Morton: Ok, I’m going to go hide.

Mario comes skipping down the path again, this time singing the ABC’s.

Mario: Q, R, S, P, I, K, Y! Hey! It’s another piece of cheese in that house!

Mario walks into the cage and eats the cheese. Fred slams the gate shut.

Mario: It’s-a me! Mario!

Fred jumps down from the cage and goes to the side of it to look at Mario. Mario starts pushing the side of the cage and it flips over 180 degrees. Fred is now under the cage.

Fred: OW

Mario then starts to eat the bars.

Mario: Nummy, nummy, in my tummy!

Mario then gets out of the cage through the hole he ate. Morton walks up.

Morton: Dang it! He got away! Fred? Where are you?

Fred: Under the cage.

Morton lifts up the cage.

Several failing attempts later… Fred has bandages everywhere and is using crutches

Fred: Can I go home now?

Morton: *sigh)* Sure. King Dad will be so mad.

Morton and Fred go back to Castle Koopa.

Bowser: Morton! Where have you been?

Morton: Trying to capture Mario, like you asked.

Bowser: I didn’t tell you to go capture Mario. I told you to go buy more wedding cake to replace the ones you ate!

Morton: Oh. Heh heh. Funny, huh Fred? We didn’t have to try to capture Mario after all.

Fred growls. Fred starts attacking Morton into one of those cartoon fighting smoke things.

Bowser: All’s well that ends well.

Fred and Morton stop fighting.

Fred: Why do I get the feeling we are forgetting something?

At Mushroom Airlines…

Toad: Hello? Mario? Luigi? Where the @#&*! are you?
