The Diaries of Mario
Part 8: Making a Friend or Foe?

Written By: Wayne

I stepped on the gas and drove off as fast as my Acura could go.  Bullet Bill was chasing us along with another member of the force his name was Eagle he was a M.K.A veteran and he was a good friend of mine.  The car began to overheat quickly and I only needed to last one more minute.  Then it happened, the car overheated and halted to a stop and the cops were closing in.  "Go I'll take the fall" Luigi said.  I didn't want to leave him but, Peach needed me and I need Croco.  I jumped out the car and ran before the cops could see me.  I saw Luigi being thrown out of the car and being beaten with the batons the police had.  I ran for my life or it was like I ran for my life.  I saw Croco getting on the plane, so I had two choices, I could yet again break the law and risk Peach's life or I could go through the line and take a chance.  I say going illegally was the right thing in a way.
I saw Croco, and I went on the plane. I saw him sitting beside the window by himself and I took a seat beside him. "So you thought you could run after your plan failed eh?" I said.  "Huh!"  He said and looked at me surprised.  "Mario what are you doing here and why are you talking to me?" he added.  "Glad you remember me Croco I have a proposition for you?" I answered.  "What are you intending, I don't have any intention of working with the likes of you." He replied.  "You want to rescue Boshi do you not?"  I asked.  "Yes I do so?" he answered in a content tone.  "I want to save Peach, a girl who was arrested while she was traveling with me and you want Boshi so why don't we work together?"  I said in a sophisticated way.  "No way!!!" he shouted.  "Croco as much as you don't want to work with me you have no choice." I said.  "Why?" he asked almost scared.  "I have a photo and 22 witnesses on this plane, try me." I said.  Croco was silent and agreed after a minute of thinking.  "Ok we have 10 minutes before this plane leaves; we get off and devise a plan agreed?" I said.  "Ok." Croco replied, as if he had a choice anyway.  I was happy now, I finally caught Croco and now I was one step closer to Peach, and I would keep getting closer step by step until I finally reached my goal.  Before I got off the plane I remembered Luigi's sacrifice; he would be in jail for 2 yrs, which was really a year, but whatever.  Things were finally looking good for once.  I still don't know if Croco was now my friend or my foe but, for now I considered him as my friend.

Gramps was ok now from his shock.  The doctor was up all night watching him and stuff.  Gramps had issued the army well two soldiers to be posted outside of his room.  He was ok and up and doing his thing as King of MK, but he was taking serious precautions.  Well you know the message he got was a threat from Booster.  He had said that if I was to return to Rose Town our whole family would be in trouble.  For a King my gramps wasn't so brave, not like my dad and mother.  My mother's name was Princess Toadstool well she was princess when she lived.  My mother was killed during a car accident in Rose Town trying to save me from the street my dad died in the same crash, so that's why Uncle Toad takes care of me now.
