Chapter Text
"OW! OW! OW! STOP!"
Screams could be heard inside the castle, but what was causing them now?
"TARI! TARI! STOP! THIS ISN'T WORKING!"
SMG3 screamed as Tari finally released him
The group had decided to all have a hand in trying to yank the crown that symbolized SMG3's curse, but so far, they've had no luck, not even a budge.
"Maybe you should stop moving!"
Clench chattered as SMG3 stared at the hand frustrated
"Well, maybe YOU should stick a sock in your trap, before I pour water on you!"
SMG3 marched over to SMG4's bed and sat at the edge, throwing his hat back on his head with a sigh, alerting SMG4 to come sit next to him
"Well, shit... What do we do now...?"
Meggy, Tari, and SMG4 stare at SMG3 upset, while Mario slowly raises his axe, making Meggy bonk him in the head
"What can we do, 3? We've tried everything!"
Meggy said as Mario stood beside her, readjusting his face back to normal
"Maybe we just have to give it time and it'll fade away naturally!"
Tari piped in, before Mario replied with
"Hmmmmm... Tari might have a point... Seeing how whenever Mario uses a Super Star, it fades after a little while! So, maybe it's like that!"
Mario smiled, finally saying something smart for once, But SMG3 just groaned in annoyance
"Well, it's been MORE than "A little while" I'd say!"
"It might still be the case!"
SMG4 said, pulling SMG3 closer, in an attempt to make him feel a bit better
"It might just take a while; Like a cut or a bruise, it'll be gone eventually!
"But I need it to be gone now!"
SMG3 whined as he fell onto his back
"I have a cafe to run! I have things to do! Hell, Eggdog STILL won't even look my direction!"
Tears developed in 3's eyes at the thought of his beloved pet not caring about him
"I... Just want to be normal again..."
SMG4's heart ached as he saw SMG3 coming undone again
"You will be... We just gotta wait and see, 3..."
SMG4 quietly spoke as he lied down next to SMG3, putting a hand on his face to brush away a tear with his thumb
SMG3 blushed at the contact and gave a soft smile
He was glad at least one person understood...
Things got quiet pretty fast, heck the group was surprised when they didn't hear Mario shout about how gay 3 & 4 were acting
They all didn't know what to do, until Meggy's phone rang, making everyone look at her as she answered it
"Hi, Saiko! What's up?"
The rest of the group listened in, trying to find out what Saiko was saying to Meggy, but couldn't make anything out, so they mainly just focused on Meggy
"No, not really..." ... "I Don't know, I'll ask"
"Are you guys' busy tonight?"
Meggy asked the crew who all jumped at the question, making them all look at each other before shaking their heads "No"
"No, they're not busy ether, why do you ask?" ... "Oh! Really?" ... "Yeah! Of course we'll come!" ... "Ok, we'll see you later! Bye!"
As Meggy hung up the phone she looked at the crew who were giving her confused looks
"Well, what is it?"
SMG3 asked as Meggy smiled
"Apparently, Saiko is throwing a roof top party and asked us if we wanted to come!"
"Ooh! A party? That sounds fun!"
SMG4 said as SMG3 looked at Meggy shocked
"A party?! No, no, no! I don't think so! I'm not going ANYWHERE like this anymore!"
SMG3 protested, as he stood up from SMG4's bed
"Oh, c'mon 3... It won't be so bad! You could use the fresh air!"
SMG4 smiled as he got up and stood next to SMG3
SMG3 didn't respond and just stared at the ground, lost in thought
SMG4 knew what SMG3 was thinking cause he began to look uncomfortable, so he gently grabbed his hand and intertwined his fingers with 3's
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you... Ok?"
SMG4 whispered as SMG3 looked back into his eyes, making him think
...
"Ok..."
SMG4 perked his head up, hearing SMG3 speak
"Ok! I'm in!"
