Lakitu: Welcome to the second day of the Mushroom Kingdom Tennis Tournament! Are we ready for some fun, tennis ball-hitting action?
Audience: No, not really…
Lakitu: It looks like everyone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning…
Goomba in the audience: I sleep on a couch!
Lakitu: *sigh* Let’s get on with the matches…
Koopa vs. Shadow
Lakitu: Okay, will Koopa and Shadow come, please?
A Koopa walks down, but Shadow, a black, energetic dog, zooms right past him.
Shadow: YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!
Lakitu: Yay…
Shadow: I’ve been waiting soooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to play tennis! I can’t wait until the match is over so I can play with the ball! Tennis balls are really good for playing fetch because they go really really really really really-
Lakitu: GET TO IT!!!!
Shadow: -fast. Usually, Master’s dad will play fetch with me, but shoot the ball out of a cannon and it will go really really really really really really far! I don’t know why he shoots it so far, it’s almost like he wants me to stay away from him!
Lakitu: So do I… Okay, so where do you want to go?
Koopa: Moo Moo Farm. If I hit the ball far past him, he’ll have to get it and it will take Shadow longer to get the ball.
Shadow: I want to go there too, because that place is wide open, and it would be a place where I could run and run and run and run and run and run and run forever!
Lakitu: It’s true… Lemmy DOES feed his dog sugar for breakfast.
Shadow: And it is really really-
Lakitu: Yummy.
Shadow: Yup!
Lakitu: Okay, I’ll spin the wheel and-
Lakitu spins the wheel and Shadow looks astonished.
Shadow: Round and round and round and round and round and round and-
Lakitu: We’re going to the Glitz Pit.
Three warp pipes come up.
Shadow: Can I run there, because running is really really really really really really really-
Lakitu: No.
Shadow: Aww…
Lemmy: Wait! I just have to get Shadow ready for the game!
Lemmy goes to talk to Shadow, and Shadow tackles him and starts licking him and licking him and- NOT ME! Well, Lemmy tapes a racket to Shadows nose, and Shadow jumps in the warp pipe.
GEH! GEH! GEH!
Lakitu: The Glitz Pit, a stadium where many warriors fight for titles, money, and free hot dogs… This arena where the Tennis Match will be held can hold-
Shadow: Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots-
Lakitu: -of people. The gimmick here, The Rawk Hawk will fire fireballs at the players and “perform his special act”. Ready?
Koopa: Not-
Shadow: YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!
Lakitu: Okay, let’s go!
Koopa to Serve
Koopa throws up a serve and Shadow runs straight to the ball. However, he runs right past it.
Shadow: NONONONONONONONONO!
15-Love
Koopa serves another ball, and Shadow tries to get the ball. Lemmy knows that Shadow always has trouble getting the ball, reasoning why the racket is taped to his nose, so he can hit it! Shadow rallies the ball back.
Shadow: Where’d it go?
Koopa is amazed that Shadow hit it. Too shocked to even move! The ball bounces past Koopa.
15 All
Shadow: YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!
Koopa serves the ball again, but this time, Shadow uses his Power Shot. Shadow runs over to a fire hydrant, breaks the wheel, and water shoots out, making the ball fly very quickly. Koopa hits it, but whirls from the force of the spray. Shadow hits it out of Koopa’s reach, and Koopa is too dizzy to get to it.
15-30
Shadow: YAY YAY YAY! That was SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN!
Koopa: How can Lemmy sleep with you in his room?
Shadow: Earplugs!
Koopa: …
Koopa hits the ball, and Shadow rallies it. Koopa uses his special, and hits a slow water-ball.
Shadow: WATER! Water water water water water!
Shadow, who LOVES water, zooms right to the water-ball and just barely hits it over the net. Koopa rushes over to the ball, but forgets to take his hands off his ears and never hits the ball.
Koopa: You think HE would be distracted, but he’s distracting ME!
15-45
Game Point
Koopa serves to Shadow again, and they rally for about a minute, when a noise is heard…
???: What, who disturbs me from my RAWKIN’ slumber? Huh, tennis match- OH YEAH! It’s on? Oops, forgot to eat my chili! *gulp*
Shadow: What’s happening? Isn’t this eavesdropping? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Koopa: It sounds like someone’s getting ready for something-
Bang! The balcony doors slam open and the Rawk Hawk comes in.
Rawk Hawk: HA! Who’s winning?
Shadow: I AM! IAM! IAM! I AM!
Rawk Hawk: SHUDDAP!
The Rawk Hawk starts shooting fireballs, interrupting the rally. One fireball hits Shadow, and Shadow nearly misses the ball, when he uses his special. He tosses a Frisbee and hits the tennis ball over. By now, Koopa has many bumps and bruises, and can’t get to the ball in time.
Game- Shadow
Switch Sides
Shadow to Serve
Shadow: YEAH! I win! I win! I win!
Lakitu: SERVE ALREADY!
Shadow: SORRY!
Shadow serves the ball, and Koopa hits it back to Shadow, who rallies it back to Koopa. Koopa uses his special. He hits a water-ball, and just like before, Shadow zooms to it. This time, however, Koopa fake-shell-shots Shadow, and Shadow backs off.
Shadow: WOAH! Phew! That was really really really really really-
Lakitu: Get to it!
Shadow: Close!
Love-15
Shadow serves, Koopa Rallies, and Shadow uses his Power Shot. He goes over to the fire hydrant, blasts the water, and the ball goes flying!
Lakitu: OUT!
Love-30
Shadow: Aww, that’s sad, too bad, oh no!
Lakitu: NOT THAT! Those, cute little puppy eyes!
Rawk Hawk: Did I hear the word “cute? I’ll have to ruin THAT feeling!
Once again, it’s raining fireballs. Shadow serves the ball, and Koopa rallies it. Shadow can’t see through the fire, so he throws his Frisbee and the ball bounces to the other side. Koopa also uses his save. He just spins over on his shells and hits it. Shadow sees the ball and is about to hit it, when a fireball hits his tongue.
Shadow: OWW! Hot! *whimper, whimper, whimper*
Lakitu: STOP! That noise sounds too sad to listen to!
Shadow goes to the fire hydrant he uses with his special to cool down.
Love-45
Game Point
Koopa: YES! I need one more win for this game! And I feel strong! I could beat anyone in the world!
Rawk Hawk: I hate overconfident people that think they can beat me-
Koopa: I didn’t say you-
Rawk Hawk: You said anyone in the world. If it’s not me, then I’m STRANGE? WEIRD? STUPID? ENOUGH! Get on with the game…
Koopa: Okay…
Shadow trots to the ball.
Shadow: I’m still hot, but if I win this, I’ll get to go with Lemmy to Sherbet Land!
Shadow serves the ball. Koopa is about to hit it when-
RUMBLE RUMBLE!
The arena rumbles and Koopa falls over, missing the ball.
15-45
Game point
Koopa: What happened?
Lakitu: Apparently, the Rawk Hawk doesn’t like you, so he rumbled the arena to rig the match.
Koopa: That’s not fair!
Lakitu: Does it have to be?
Shadow: NO! No! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Lakitu: I’m not talking to you! Just keep playing!
Shadow serves the ball, and Koopa is about to hit it when a bucket with a sticky liquid falls on him. Koopa doesn’t reach for the ball.
30-45
Koopa: What now…?
Lakitu: I don’t know, I’ll ask him!
Rawk Hawk: I just threw a bucket full of melted Swooper guts at him!
Shadow goes to Koopa and licks the liquid.
Shadow: Tastes like syrup to me!
Rawk Hawk: But HE doesn’t have to know that!
Shadow: Oh…
Rawk Hawk: Now for my special act!
Lakitu: I heard this one’s a big one!
Koopa: NO! I’ve seen you chip a Chain Chomp’s tooth! I saw you eat a Snifit’s Bullet! You even crushed The Koopinator’s Shell! I’ll just quit the match!
Lakitu: Okay, he forfeits it! A warp pipe comes up and Koopa jumps into it. So Shadow wins!
Shadow: YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!
Game, Set and Match
Shadow Wins
Lakitu: So, would you like to see the Hawk’s act on a dummy?
Shadow: Okay!
A few minutes later…
Rawk Hawk: Are you ready to RAWK?
Lakitu: YEAH!
Shadow: YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
Rawk Hawk: You can stop! Okay-
The Rawk Hawk runs behind a booth and takes out a puppet of Prince Mush and himself.
Rawk Hawk: One day, there was a strong Toad named Prince Mush.
The Rawk Hawk’s Mush puppet walks to the center.
Rawk Hawk: And then I beat him up!
The Rawk Hawk’s other puppet starts jumping all over the Mush puppet.
Rawk Hawk: THE END!
Lakitu: Thanks, we gotta go now!
GEH! GEH! GEH!
Go back to The Mario Tennis Tournament.
