Professor E. Gadd's Advice/The Twister

*(Later, Peach, Daisy, Mario, Luigi, and Rockruff continued their trek down the road as dark clouds started to form slowly in the sky. They suddenly noticed a traveling wagon and took a closer look. The sign on it said “Professor E. Gadd’s Wonders of the World and the Crowned Heads of Europe.” The five soon realized who it is with smiles)*

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Professor E. Gadd.

*(Suddenly, an old man came out humming. He has a single white tuft of hair on his head, a white bucktooth, and wearing black-rimmed glasses with light blue lenses (Also containing black spirals), a white long-sleeved lab coat over a red short-sleeved shirt, dark blue pants, and brown shoes. He is Professor E. Gadd, an old friend of the Heartilly-Leonharts. He noticed Peach's group and Rockruff and greeted them)*

E. Gadd: Oh! Hello, guys, Rockruff!

Mario: It’s good to see you again, Professor!

E. Gadd: I wonder why you’re all out here?

Peach: You may be a scientist who performs as a fake magician, but you can try and figure out why we’re here.

Luigi: We’ll still believe you’re magic regardless.

Daisy: So, go ahead.

*(Happy by their encouragement, E. Gadd agreed)*

E. Gadd: Very well.

*(He inspects them)*

E. Gadd: Well, seeing your backpacks, I’ll try and figure it out.

*(He began to think)*

E. Gadd: Let’s see…. You’re traveling in disguise, right?

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Nope.

E. Gadd: Going on a visit, right?

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: (Giggling a bit) Nope.

E. Gadd: Hmm….

*(He realized something)*

E. Gadd: Oh, now I figured it out! You’re running away from home!

Mario: That’s right.

E. Gadd: And why are you running away, I wonder?

*(He began to think)*

E. Gadd: Oh, now I know. Because nobody understands or appreciate you four, you want to see the world! You want to see big cities, big mountains, and big oceans even!

Peach: That’s exactly right!

*(Rockruff suddenly snatched E. Gadd’s hot dog)*

Peach: (Scolding Rockruff) Rockruff, that’s not polite to take the professor’s hot dog!

E. Gadd: (Laughing) No, no, it’s okay. He can have it. Never liked that brand of hot dogs anyway.

*(He changed the subject)*

E. Gadd: Anyway, where was I?

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Seeing the world.

E. Gadd: (Realizing) Oh, yes, that’s right.

Daisy: We want to travel with you!

Peach: See the world and the Crowned Heads of Europe!

*(Thinking it over, E. Gadd smiled and spoke up)*

E. Gadd: Very well. But first, I like to show you some pictures of what we’ll see on our travels.

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: (Excitedly) Really?!

E. Gadd: Yes. Have a seat.

*(After taking four chairs out, E. Gadd placed them down and seated Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi on them. Then he placed a projection lantern on the stand nearby a white screen and began showing the first picture on himself, as Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi watched in interest)*

E. Gadd: Ta-da! Oh, yes, indeed! And now, mirabile dictu, et curibus pluribus unum, or to use the vernacular, behold Professor E. Gadd’s magical lantern! To see the wonders of the world, you won’t need to go too far from home. Not too far at all.

*(Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi got confused and then shrugged and watched in amazement as E. Gadd started to sing)*

E. Gadd: **My friends, there’re other ways**

**To see the world, so, shift your gaze**

**To this extravagant appliance**

**Mainly magic, slightly science**

**With no stressful travel plans**

**As you don’t have to move**

**From Kansas, see**

**The unabridged assembled**

**Wonders of the world**

**Fly the coop and cross the ocean**

**Time and distance sent in motion**

**Grab this chance to wander yonder**

**All the earth is ours to ponder**

**From the Poles to the equator**

**No one could provide a greater view**

*(He begins his slideshow, showing many locations and things he seen around the world as Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi watched in amazement)*

E. Gadd: **There’s the Nile, now**

**Some don’t give a hoot**

**That it’s the longest river**

**But we know in miles, of course**

**All four-one-eighty sea to source**

**It’s nature at it’s most prolific**

**Pyramids are quite terrific, too**

**So, welcome to the waiting**

**Wonders of the world**

**Sometimes, we may feel**

**Something simply can’t be real**

**Like a road beneath your feet**

**That’s paved with gold**

**I would be inclined**

**To maintain an open mind**

**For truth is very strange**

**If truth be told**

**There’s old Popocatepetl**

**New York City, glass and metal**

**Everest unconquered mountain**

**Over five miles high and countin’**

**Here’s the arctic’s snow**

**And polar bears and northern lights**

**And solar flares**

**A myriad exquisite**

**Wonders of the world**

**Imagine red and blue**

**On the mountains of Peru**

**And Sahara sands of yellow**

**Burning white**

**In jungles, black and green**

**Fearsome creatures never seen**

**Other than right now**

*(Suddenly, he showed a next picture of himself with his FLUDD and Poltergust machines, much to Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi’s confusion. Noticing, E. Gadd got embarrassed)*

E. Gadd: **Oh, that’s not right**

*(He takes that picture out)*

E. Gadd: (Laughing nervously a bit) I’m so sorry. That was from my private collection. Moving rapidly along now.

*(Peach's group shrugged in agreement and E. Gadd resumed showing more pictures)*

E. Gadd: **We don’t have to take it slowly**

**Here’s Tibet, remote and holy**

**Angel Falls in Venezuela**

**Eiffel Tower, Humpback Whale**

**A moment feeling all the thrills**

**Of being near the seven hills of Rome**

**Oh, so many sights to savor**

**This is merely been a flavor**

**Maybe time for one more wonder**

*(Suddenly, a thunder is heard from afar)*

E. Gadd: **Very strange, that looks like thunder**

*(They resumed the conclusion of the slideshow)*

E. Gadd: **But the point that I’m conveying**

**Is you see it all while staying home**

**And home is one of many**

**Wonders of the world**

**The unabridged assembled**

**Wonders of the world**

E. Gadd and Peach's group: **Professor E. Gadd’s patent**

**Wonders of the world**

*(After they finished the slideshow, more thunder is heard from afar. Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi then spoke up)*

Peach: I can’t wait to see all of those!

Daisy: So do I, Professor!

Luigi: Take us with!

Mario: Let's-a go!

E. Gadd: But didn’t you hear me…?

Peach: I understand you want us to see it back home.

Mario: But Mamma Mia, we want to see it up close.

Daisy: Besides, nobody back home will miss us.

Luigi: And heck, they were gonna let Medusa take Rockruff from us.

*(E. Gadd thinks over something, and then brightened up)*

E. Gadd: Well, alright. But first, let’s consult my crystal ball.

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Crystal ball?

E. Gadd: (Nods) Yes.

*(They and Rockruff go inside the wagon, taking the chairs with and after Peach's group and E. Gadd seated, E. Gadd began to work on his crystal ball setting)*

E. Gadd: This is an actual rare crystal ball that is used by Isis and Osiris in the days of Egypt, in which Cleopatra saw Julius Caesar and Marc Antony coming to her, and so on and so forth.

*(Peach's group became interested)*

E. Gadd: Alright, let’s reach out into the infinite and gaze into the crystal ball.

*(They looked into the crystal ball and E. Gadd began to explain what he sees, despite Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi not seeing anything)*

Daisy: What do you see?

E. Gadd: I can see a house with a white picket fence and a barn with a weather-vane of a crowing rooster.

Peach: That’s our farm, alright.

E. Gadd: And there’s a beautiful woman, she’s wearing a blue robe-like dress, I think, and her face of careworn.

Peach: That's my mother, alright.

Daisy: Yeah.

E. Gadd: Yes, you are aware her name is Rinoa Heartilly, right?

Peach and Daisy: (Nods) Yes.

Peach: And what’s Mom doing?

Mario: What do you see?

E. Gadd: Well….

*(He gasped)*

E. Gadd: Why, she’s crying.

*(Peach and Daisy got surprised)*

E. Gadd: It’s like someone broke her heart.

Daisy: Really?

*(Peach suddenly felt guilty for her angry words at her earlier)*

Peach: I had no idea….

E. Gadd: Well, it’s from someone she loved very much. Someone she took care of along with her sister. And someone she took care of from sickness.

Peach: (Smiling softly) Yeah. One time, I caught pneumonia, and she, along with everyone else, stayed by my side every minute until I was all better because of the doctors.

*(She changed the subject)*

Peach: Anyway, I feel terrible now.

E. Gadd: I can tell. But what did you say to her the last time you saw her?

*(Feeling guilt overcome her, Peach turned to Daisy, Mario, and Luigi, who nodded in agreement, and then she confessed)*

Peach: Regretfully, the last thing I said to her, Dad, and the Jellybean Scouts, was “I hate you, and I never wanna see you again.”

E. Gadd: I see….

*(He placed his hand on Peach’s shoulder and spoke in a comforting voice)*

E. Gadd: Well, even though words can hurt, I….

*(He looks at the crystal ball again and began to explain away again)*

E. Gadd: Wait, I see Rinoa go into her and Squall’s bedroom.

Luigi: Why?

Peach: What’s happening?

*(Suddenly, E. Gadd became shocked)*

E. Gadd: Oh my gosh! She’s placing her hand on her heart and just collapsed on the side of the bed!

*(Horrified at what they heard, Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi jumped to their feet in concern)*

Peach and Daisy: WHAT?!

Mario and Luigi: Is she having a heart attack?!

E. Gadd: I‘m afraid so. And now the crystal ball is dark.

*(Concerned, Peach began to freak out)*

Peach: Oh my gosh! She might be dying!

*(Grabbing their backpacks, they began to run out)*

Peach: We have to get back home!

*(E. Gadd pretended to be surprised suddenly. Apparently, he told a little lie to encourage Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi to go back home and make amends with their loved ones)*

E. Gadd: But I thought you wanted to see the world with me?

Peach: Unfortunately, we can’t!

Daisy: Mom’s more important!

Mario: We need to get home to her!

Luigi: And help her!

*(E. Gadd smiled in an understanding way, but deep down, he’s smiling because Peach's group realized from his lie)*

E. Gadd: Well, be careful! Hearing the thunder before, you better hurry or a twister will hit!

Peach: Okay!

Daisy: We will!

Peach's group: Thank you and goodbye!

E. Gadd: You’re welcome and goodbye!

*(Then with that, Peach, Daisy, Mario, Luigi, and Rockruff hurried back to the direction of the Heartilly-Leonhart Farm as a strong wind began to blow slowly. E. Gadd then began to pack up quickly upon noticing)*

E. Gadd: Better take shelter quickly!

*(He looked at the direction Peach's group and Rockruff ran to in concern)*

E. Gadd: I hope they make it home alright.

*(Then, after packing up, E. Gadd quickly drove the wagon away. Back at the Heartilly-Leonhart Farm, a twister just started to appear on its destruction path across the plains towards the farm. Squall and the Jellybean Scouts began scrambling around, putting the animals into shelter, despite the strong winds)*

Squall: Hurry and get the horses loose!

Jellybean Scouts: Got it!

*(Suddenly, they noticed Edward trying to work the twister-proof machine)*

Lazlo: Edward, come on!

Clem: It’s a twister! It’s a twister!

Raj: We gotta take shelter!

Edward: But we’re trying to make…!

Clem: Forget it!

Lazlo: Just take shelter with us!

*(Upon seeing the twister approaching slowly, Edward realized they’re right, quickly gave in, climbed down the roof, and they all hurried to the storm-cellar. Back at the backyard, Rinoa ran outside in concern, calling out for Peach's group)*

Rinoa: Peach! Daisy! Mario! Luigi!

*(Nearby, Peach, Daisy, Mario, Luigi, and Rockruff were getting closer to the farm, fighting the strong winds, and saw to their horror, the twister slowly approaching the farm)*

Mario: Come on!

*(Noticing the wind is slowing Rockruff down, Peach quickly picked him up and they hurried to the farm. Back at the farm, everyone hurried to Rinoa in the backyard to get into the storm-cellar)*

Rinoa: Any sign of Peach's group?!

Squall: Afraid not! We’ll look for them later!

Rinoa: But…!

*(The Jellybean Scouts reassured her)*

Raj: If we know Peach's group, they can take care of themselves in a crisis like this!

Lazlo: Raj is right! Now come on!

*(Giving in, Rinoa went into the storm-cellar with Squall and the Jellybean Scouts. Back at the front yard, Peach, Daisy, Mario, Luigi, and Rockruff arrived finally, fighting the strong wind and went inside, looking for Rinoa, Squall, and the Jellybean Scouts)*

Peach and Daisy: Mom?! Dad?! Guys?!

Mario and Luigi: Squall?! Rinoa?! Guys?!

*(They hurry out to the backyard and found the storm-cellar door closed and locked up. They began kicking it and calling out to them)*

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Hey!!

*(Noticing the twister coming closer in a fast pace, Peach's group and Rockruff hurried inside and took shelter in Peach and Daisy’s bedroom closet)*

Peach: Now what?

*(Before Mario could answer, the window doors to the room broke off and crashed at the closet door. Quickly pushing it open, Mario gasped)*

Mario: Looks like your window broke!

*(Suddenly, a metal bar flew into the room and smacked Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi’s heads before they reacted, knocking them out, much to Rockruff’s concern. As they lay unconscious, the house began to toss and turn, apparently being flown into the air by the twister. Suddenly, a rooster’s crow bolted them awake as it floated by. Noticing various things flying by outside, including a cow, Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi went up to the window and took a closer look as Rockruff hid himself under the bed. Realizing what’s happening upon seeing no ground below, Peach's group got concerned)*

Peach: We’re inside the cyclone!

Luigi: Are we gonna die?!

Mario: Hopefully not!

Daisy: Don't panic!

*(Suddenly, they noticed a familiar women on her bike flying by)*

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Madame Medusa?!

*(Then, to their horror, Medusa transformed into a witch-like woman of some kind riding a magic wand as a vampire-like man, dark-looking boy, and bat creature appeared next to her. The four figures cackled evilly and flew off into the distance. Suddenly, the house jerked back and forth from the twister’s winds and Peach's group screamed as they hung onto the doorway of the closet. Suddenly, they feel the house dropping towards the ground)*

Mario: Brace yourselves!

*(And with that, the house fell down, down, down as the twister vanished until it crash-landed onto the ground)*

***Coming up: Peach, Daisy, Mario, Luigi, and Rockruff come upon Yoshi Village and are honored as heroes to the Yoshis by the Yoshis themselves, as well as by Nayru, Din, and Farore, for killing an evil witch named Larxene. Then during the celebration, two certain evil witches, a certain vampire-type Digimon, a certain dark boy, and a certain bat-type Digimon appears, livid that their fellow witch is dead, and Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi earned their wrath after receiving gifts from Nayru, Din, and Farore and their real adventure begins.***
