It was an average day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario was at it again eating his spaghetti like crazy, to the annoyance of anyone who passed by him. As he kept eating his food, he suddenly heard a door open. Mario looked up to see Smg4 coming out of his room and was walking over to the front door, ready to go somewhere.
Mario sat up, “Hey Smg4, where are you going?” Mario asked, Smg4 looked back, “Oh, I’m going out to upgrade to a double screen monitor.” He replied, this confused Mario. “Why?” He asked, “Because my latest monitor has been running like sh*t, which I had to get because you destroyed my old one.” Smg4 said, getting a bit angry, "Oh right.” Mario replied.
“Yes, so don't you dare lay a single finger on this one, you hear me, or you’re gonna be buried six feet under.” Smg4 threatened, getting into Mario’s face. Mario's face shrunk with fear, he just let out a slow nod, Smg4 then smiled and leaned back, “Glad to see we’re on the same page.” He said and with that, he walked away and was soon gone.
Once Smg4 was out of the castle, Mario went back to being an idiot like usual, but then, he started thinking about what Smg4 had told him ‘Don’t go near my computer.’ Those words kept echoing in his mind. Soon, Mario started to grow curious, he closed his eyes, “No, keep it together Mario, don’t…” Before he could finish his sentence, he opened his eyes and saw he was at Smg4’s computer door.
Mario stared for a moment, “Welp, I tried.” He said with a smile and proceeded to punch the door open, he then walked inside and walked up to the computer and he turned it on. Smg4 was right, the computer ran like absolute cr*p, in fact, Mario had to restart the computer at least 3 times as the screen kept crashing, finally he was on the desktop, “Finally.” Mario muttered.
He then clicked on the icon that brought him onto the web, when he clicked it, the computer started buffering, Mario just waited, 2 minutes passed, then it was 4 minutes that passed, soon it became 7 minutes and still the computer kept loading, Mario was starting to grow impatient, he clicked on the icon again, “Come on you piece of sh*t!” He yelled, as he kept clicking on the icon, suddenly, it blued screen on him.
Mario's eyes shot open, he had reached his breaking point, without any hesitation, Mario grabbed the computer and chucked it at a nearby wall, breaking it in half, “Let that be lesson you useless piece of trash!” Mario shouted, he then proceeded to walk to the door to leave when he remembered something, ‘So don't you dare lay a single finger on this one, you hear me, or you’re gonna be buried six feet under.’ Smg4's voice ranged in his head.
Mario just stood there for a moment, his expression quickly changing, “Oh…” He muttered as he turned his head 180 to get a look at the computer, which was snapped in half, Mario then quickly ran over and picked it up and he set it back on the desk as he looked it over, “Oh no, oh no, Mario’s gonna die!” He panicked, he started thinking of a way to fix this mistake, then he got a great idea.

It was a little bit later, Mario had summoned Meggy to the room, “So what did you do this time red?” Meggy asked him, “Hehe, oh you know, the usual…” Mario chuckled nervously, he then started explaining what happened with him breaking Smg4’s computer, he then finished his summary, Meggy just gave him a look of disappointment, “Dang it red…” She groaned, facepalming.
“Hey, he should’ve had a better running computer.” Mario protested, “He did have a better running computer, then you went and got it destroyed you idiot.” Meggy retorted, Mario huffed, then he looked at the broken computer, “Do you have any ideas on how we could fix this?” Mario asked her, “Well, the only way your a** isn’t getting buried is if we buy a new computer.” Meggy responded, Mario then perked up.
He then got in Meggy’s face and shook her, “Meggy you’re a genius, why didn’t Mario think of that before!?” He said, Meggy was a bit dizzy from the shaking, but proceeded to slap Mario to get him off of her, Mario soon stood up again. He then grabbed Meggy’s hand, “Come on Meggy, let'sa go!” He shouted as he dragged Meggy out of the room.

Soon the two arrived at the mall, Mario crashed into the mall with his car, “Oh boy, we’re finally here.” He said with a smile, meanwhile Meggy was scared, Mario had driven like a maniac the entire way there. Anyways, Mario and Meggy got out and began walking around, looking for a computer store where they could get a computer, soon Meggy noticed one.
“Hey red, look, over there!” Meggy said, pointing to a computer store, Mario smiled and ran over with Meggy following them. Soon, they were in the store, but when they ran in, they were met with a horrible surprise. In the store was Smg4 who was getting his upgrade for his computer, Mario and Meggy quickly ducked behind some boxes before Smg4 could notice them.
“Well red, now that Smg4 is here, what are we gonna do since he’s here? We can’t go to another store, it’s too far away.” Meggy whispered to Mario. Mario thought for a moment, then he got the perfect idea ever, he then grabbed a computer, “Red, what are you…?” Before Meggy could finish her sentence, Mario ran out of the store, taking the PC with him, triggering the alarm.
“Oh dear.” Meggy muttered as she ran after him, at the front counter, Karen was about to give Smg4 the price when the alarms went off, “What the, what’s happening?” Smg4 asked, Karen wasted no time, she alerted the police, Mr. Monitor guy came running out, “We’ll get him, no one breaks the law!” He shouted and ran off, Karen then groaned, “I seriously don’t get paid enough for this.” She muttered.

Mario reached his car and threw the PC inside, Meggy came out behind him, “Red, stop, this is illegal!” Meggy shouted, suddenly, they heard sirens coming, there were a lot of police cars coming at them, Mario quickly scooped up Meggy and threw her in the car, he then hopped in and drove off with the police hot on their tail.
“Stop breaking the law, surrender now, or face our wrath!” Mr. Monitor called out to them, “Yeah, what he said!” FM said, peeking his head out of the driver seat, Mr. Monitor smacked him, “Shut up and keep driving.” He ordered, “Jeez, fine.” FM grumbled, meanwhile Mario and Meggy were speeding down the highway, but the police were gaining on them.
“Red, what are we gonna do, they’re gonna catch us!?” She shouted, scared, Mario quickly thought, he then noticed a ramp and saw it led directly to the castle, without hesitation, Mario steered towards the ramp and flew high into the air, Meggy was screaming like a child, meanwhile, the police cars went off the ramp to, flying into the air with Mario and Meggy.
Finally, the car crashed into the castle and landed in the lobby, Mario quickly hopped out and ran to Smg4’s room, he kicked the door open and ran to the desk and quickly hooked everything up, soon the computer was up and running, just then Meggy came running in and saw the computer was working, both of them looked at each other then high fived, glad it was all over….or so they thought.
Suddenly, the police cars crashed into the castle causing a huge explosion which left the castle in complete ruin, Mario and Meggy stood there, covered in dust, “Goda**it.” Meggy muttered, suddenly, they heard a car, they looked to see Smg4 getting his new computer setup out, when he turned around, he was flabbergasted that the castle was no more.
Meggy quickly knew where this was going, “He was at fault, he did all of this and he dragged me along forcefully.” She quickly said and ran off, “Hey, you b*tch!” Mario shouted to her then he looked back at Smg4 who was starting to get really pissed off. Mario just gulped, “Welp, guess I’ll die…” He shrugged.
