Dry Love

**Dry Love** is the first part of episode 9 of Season 4 of Super Mario x Total Drama: Drama Kingdom. The second part is Sanders x MacArthur: Quality Time.

## Summary

When MacArthur accidentally reveals to Sanders that she loves Dry Bones, she must admit her love to Dry Bones while spending a day of fun with him and Boo.

## Plot

The episode begins with a shot of Playa Des Drama, which cuts to MacArthur walking around the main plaza. MacArthur greets the viewers and tells them that she enjoys walking around the main plaza of Playa Des Drama. She then bumps into Dry Bones, who has a chocolate bar and a note in his hands, and blushes as she apologizes to him.

Dry Bones blushes and gives MacArthur the chocolate bar and the note. MacArthur blushes hard, takes the chocolate bar and note and says "Th-th-thanks, D-D-Dry B-B-Bones!". The bad cop stares at Dry Bones as she blushes bright red and then leaves the area the same way they came to him. Dry Bones does the same thing and leaves the area the same way he came to MacArthur.

Later, at the police cadets' house, Sanders is sleeping on the couch and MacArthur tickles her sides in an attempt to wake her up. Sanders bursts into laughter and MacArthur backs off to to let her friend sit up. Sanders then asks MacArthur "What is it you need?" and MacArthur asks Sanders "Sanders, how would you react if I said that I love Dry Bones?". Sanders answers MacArthur's question by telling her that she would call her a "Big O' Bonehead" if she said that she loves Dry Bones and asks her if she really did it.

When MacArthur nervously denies to answer, Sanders pins her friend to the ground and tickles the very ticklish bad cop until she drops the chocolate bar and note (which reads "Roses are red, violets are blue. Chocolate is sweet and so are you") that Dry Bones gave her, revealing that she officially said that she loves Dry Bones. While Sanders leaves to tell the others, MacArthur covers her face in embarrassment and makes a confessional by saying "I gotta admit my love to Dry Bones! I just gotta!".

At the Drama Cafe, MacArthur is drinking her creamy coffee. She then hears a voice saying "OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH! In your face!", another voice saying "Ugh! You beat me again!", a punch sound and a voice saying "OWW!" from a nearby table and widens her eyes. MacArthur goes over to the nearby table and finds Boo and Dry Bones, who have been playing Mario Tennis Aces on their Nintendo Switch. Boo has just beaten Dry Bones again and Dry Bones has punched him in frustration. MacArthur jaw drops and smiles soon after

As MacArthur sits with Boo and Dry Bones, she chats with them about how's it going so far. Dry Bones tells MacArthur that Boo is hanging out with him just to get a break from hanging out with Kinopio-kun and Boo chuckles nervously as he blushes bright red. Boo then angrily tells Dry Bones that he promised not to tell any of the others their secret and slaps him in the face, only for Dry Bones to slap him back in his face and the spooky pals to start a slap fight. MacArthur stares dreamily at Dry Bones while he slap fights Boo.

Seeing MacArthur staring dreamily at his best friend, Boo breaks the slap fight and snaps the bad cop back into reality. MacArthur apologizes for spacing out and Boo says "That's cool! It happens to the best of people like us!". Dry Bones then asks MacArthur "Wanna hang out with Boo and me for the day? We're just about to go the Drama Arcade to play video games and laser tag, then we're gonna go to Drama Park, then we're gonna go to our house, then we're gonna watch a movie and then we're gonna have some tickle torture fun!" and MacArthur says "Okay!". The trio get onto the Drama Bus and head to the Drama Arcade.

As MacArthur, Boo and Dry Bones ride the Drama Bus to the Drama Arcade, they sing the song It's Gonna Be a Fun Day to pass the time, though their dancing during the song tickles the Drama Bus. After the song ends, Boo smiles at Dry Bones and MacArthur and makes a confessional by saying "MacArthur and Dry Bones are quite connected in friendship! I'm very impressed!". Dry Bones then makes a confessional by saying "You know, MacArthur's always been kinda cute, even if we DO argue and fight a little!" and giggles after the confessional. MacArthur smiles at Dry Bones' giggle and makes a confessional by saying "Dry Bones has the coolest giggles I've ever heard in my life!".

A few moments later, the Drama Bus arrives at the Drama Arcade and parks to let Boo, MacArthur and Dry Bones get off.
