Jimmy bought the items and walked out of the shop and brought the mushrooms to them. They all took them and they started to eat. Jimmy looked up at the sky, full of thought. Goombario stopped eating and turned to him. "A penny for your thoughts!"

"I was just thinking about...things." Jimmy replied. "I've been gone from my world for 2 whole days!" He became a little angry. "Hmph! With any luck, Terry and Ella will realize by now that I've gone missing." Everyone stopped eating and stared at him, Jimmy's face was a little despaired.

"Who are they?" Goombario asked solemnly.

"Terry is my foster parent. She doesn't pay any attention to me or anything that I want. She never talks to me unless I'm in trouble and then she yells at me." Jimmy sighed. "Ella is her daughter, she doesn't like me at all and tries her hardest to get me in trouble. Worst of all, Terry takes her side and I get punished for things I never did."

"... I never knew..." Parakarry commented softly. "I'm sorry."

"I could sense the unhappiness." Bow muttered. "But I didn't know how to handle talking to you about it."

"Um..." Kooper mumbled but then smiled. "Don't worry Jimmy! We're all your friends so we can help you out any way you can! We'll always be here for you when you need us!"

Jimmy closed his eyes and smiled. "Thank you for saying that. I feel better!" He got up and everyone finished their snack. "HEY! Let's go find another  friend! Who should we search for first?"

"I think we should go for Watt." Bow suggested. "She lives in the Shy Guy's Toybox!"

"Where's that?" Jimmy asked.

"Back at Toad Town!" Goombario replied, nodding. "Let's go back through the forever forest!"

"No! Wait!" A boo called as a whole crowd of them approached. "We'll help you get home by flying you there!" If all of us work together, I'm sure that we'll be able to fly you over the forest and back to the town."

Another Boo floated over to Parakarry and gave him a letter. "This is for that guard that guards the entrance to forever forest. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out the fairies left and we can haunt him again."

"I'll do it!" Parakarry nodded as he took the letter. "Let's go to Toad Town!"

"Right!" The boos all cheered and they flew together and they piled in. Eventually 30 boos were crammed into it and they changed into a Giant Boo. He opened his mouth and called. "Climb in!"

They all climbed in and he closed his mouth. Jeremy looked around inside the boo and looked at the outside world through the boo. "Wow! Cushy!"

"Up up and away!" Goombario cheered as they lifted off the ground and started their flight. They could see everything from up where they were. They saw Toad Town ahead and Lavalava Island to the south seas. They looked to the north and saw the Shiver district and the mountain. Off to the west was dry, dry desert and its arid surroundings. "Wow! What a beautiful view!"

They flew clear over the forever forest and took in the landing onto the western bridge. The guard saw them touch down on the bridge but he clearly saw that Giant Boo. "WHAAH!!!" He ran into his post hut and locked the door. Everyone climbed out.

"Thank you, Boos!" Jimmy politely said.

"No problem!" The Boos all flew back to gusty gulch but one who floated up to the window and made a face at the guard who screamed. He then joined his fellow boos.

They walked to the east and found a quieter area of the city. "This part of Toad town is a residential area. It's quieter and has less people running around." Goombario commented. "The shy guy house is right down the street." They walked down the street and gasped.

"Whoa! What a huge line!" Parakarry commented. "Why is there even a line to get into the house?"

Jimmy shrugged and walked up to a mushroom girl. "Excuse me miss. What's this line for?"

"Wow! You must be new!" The Girl commented. "You're cute too, want to go with me?"

"Go where?" Jimmy asked.

"To Shy Guy's toy box! It's the hottest new amusement park and casino!" The girl winked at him. "So, wanna go with me? ^.~ "

"Um...actually we're looking for a friend who's already in there!" Jimmy replied bashfully.

"Have a great time! ^_^ " She winked at Jimmy and the line moved. They moved away from the line to get a plan to go in there.

"How do you propose we get in there?" Jimmy asked. "The line's just horrible."

"How about we sneak in?" Goombario suggested.

"That would be dishonest!" Jimmy replied. "...but I don't want to wait until the next millennium."

"Wait!" Kooper shouted. "Check it out, Goombario! Your family's here!"

"Where?" Goombario asked, looking around.

"At the front of the line!" Jimmy's smiled and his eyes started glittering brightly. "They've got a spot at the front of the line!" He started running up to them. "Hi!"

Goombario sighed and he and the others ran after Jimmy to the front of the line. He was thinking. "Man, Goombaria's gonna embarrass me for sure..."

The Goomba family all turned and smiled when they saw Jimmy approach. "Oh hello Jimmy! How's Goombario?"

"I'm fine!" Goombario caught up to them. "Um..."

"Hi, brother!" Goombaria called. "Have you been useful to Jimmy here? He's tells that you're really nice to him and that he's happy to have you on the team...Hey? Are you blushing?"

"No!" Goombario replied hastily but he could feel the heat of his cheeks. "Um, I'm just a little hot."

"Sure, good excuse." She mumbled. "You're immature and you don't take compliments too well..."

"Can we talk about something else?" Goombario grumbled. "I'm already way embarrassed."

"K." Goombaria replied. "You haven't told us what you want for your birthday. You'll be 16 in two weeks."

"I don't think you guys'll be able to give me anything." Goombario replied. "I'll probably be on the road somewhere far away from you."

"I'll get my revenge!"  Goombaria said mischieviously "...Oh that reminds me! The Goomba Bros. keep calling and asking if you can do something with them. I'll tell them that you said hello. To tell you the truth, parent's don't like you hanging out with them. They say those guys are a bad influence. They like Jimmy and his gang a lot more than the Goomba Bros."

They suddenly moved into the house and saw a Shyguy wearing a ticket stamper's attire and they moved over to him. Jimmy paid the way for everyone and the Goomba family chipped in the other half. "Go on in, and if you leave early, you can get your hand stamped for re-entry. Have fun!" He opened the secret passage and everyone jumped into the toybox."

They arrived on the Blue station grounds and they saw some crowds of toads running around. Goomma walked up to the group and smiled to them. "I'm sure you don't want your family to hang around you when your friends are here so we'll leave you off. See you around, sweetie."

While they walked off, Goombaria shouted at Goombario and Jimmy. "Have fun guys! Remember to be back at the toad house at curfew!"

"Thank you!" Jimmy called back. "You have fun too, Goombaria!"

"I really hate her..." Goombario groaned.

"You don't mean that..." Jimmy said and smiled back to him. "You've got a nice sister."

"... ..." Goombario mumbled. "Well, we should get looking for Watt."

"I say we go into groups of two and split up!" Bow said. "We'll cover more of the grounds that way."

"Let's go!" Goombario said to Jimmy and he nodded back.

"Okay, let's go." Jimmy replied warmly and they both got onto the train and went to the Red Station. "Let's have some fun too! Okay, Everyone! Be at the Yellow station in 2 hours!

"Hey!" Parakarry protested and started to fly towards the station but was yanked back by Bow. "Bow...?"

"You're coming with me!" Bow winked. "Let's find Watt together!"

"Um, sure I guess." Parakarry sighed as he was led onto the new train and it was bound for pink station.

"I guess that leaves us!" Kooper nodded. "We'll look for Watt but let's on some rides too!"

Bombette nodded mischievously. "All work and no play makes Bombette a dull girl." They jumped onto the train and headed for green station.

In station red, Goombario and Jimmy went off in search of the little spark plug but found an amazing Roller coaster and Jimmy smiled mischievously, running into it. Goombario followed nervously and they made it into the ride, no line. They were strapped into the coaster and Jeremy sat behind Goombario. The ride began and they were rocketed around the coaster, the coaster did a loop and a corkscrew and another loop and a huge drop. Jimmy was holding his arms back and screamed over and over. Goombario shut his eyes in terror until the ride was over. When they got off, Goombario stumbled around and smiled weakly at Jimmy but realized his hat was gone. He gained a sad look but Jimmy revealed it to him and all was right with the world. They continued looking but they just couldn't find Watt. They did however, go on the Ferris wheel and about every other ride out there in the red section. Goombario only threw up once.

Kooper and Bombette entered the Green station only to find that this was the casino. Bombette turned to Kooper and said. "She's probably in here. Let's go!"

Kooper examined the area and found the spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds all over the place made it feel alluring and tempting, nonetheless he followed Bombette into the hall of gambling. Bombette found a single gold coin on the floor and Kooper was forced to pick it up. Bombette told him to just put it into a machine and keep searching. Kooper did but they won 4 gold coins! Bombette grinned and told Kooper run to a roulette wheel to put it all on black. The orb of substinence rolled around on the wheel and landed on black! 4 coins were now 8. "That's great..." Kooper smiled but then he turned serious. "But I think we should check the place for Watt now. I don't think we should even bother, actually..."

"No! Let's go to the craps table now and see how far we can get with this 8 coins. YOU...must come with me, I think you're a good luck charm." Bombette replied as she pushed him to the craps table. "Come! We must keep on our cutting edge spirit and have that winning RUSH!!!"

Kooper sighed. "I feel like a tool of evil."

Meanwhile at the pink station, Bow and Parakarry were checking out the rides here and they saw lots of little Toad kids running around. Bow and Parakarry quickly search the area and they don't find what they were looking for but the new stations were links so they went on to the White section and found none other then all the best clothes and boutique stores. "Oh! Gravy...a shoe store!" Bow smiled malevolently.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Parakarry gulped.

Back at the Red Station, Jimmy and Goombario sat down on a red bench. Jimmy turned to Goombario. "This is a lot of fun!"

"You're really fun to be with." Goombario replied. "I wonder where Watt could be?"

"I don't think that she's here." Jimmy said and nodded. "Want to get something to eat at the Yellow station?"

"Sure." Goombario replied and they both get up and leave the Red station gates.

Meanwhile, back at the Green station, Bombette and Kooper finally leave the craps table with three bags of coins. "Ha ha! 128 coins, we're on a winning streak!"

"Yeah! Let's quit while we're ahead." Kooper complained as he lugged the bags of cash around. "Man this is heavy..."

"Hey! Let's go to the roulette table!" Bombette suggested enthusiastically. "NOW!"

Kooper frowned and scurried over to the roulette wheel, mumbling. "Wow, that's classic compulsive behavior..."

"Don't mumble! It's bad luck!! I feel bold, so put it all on... how about 26 Red!" Bombette commanded and Kooper weakly put the cash on the table.

The shyguy in black spun the wheel and coolly remarked. "The winner is 17 black." Bombette and Kooper gain anime sweat drops on on the backs of their heads. The working shyguy took all the bags of money and put them into a bin under the table.

Kooper walked away, cheery. "Oh well! At least I don't have to carry anything!"

Bombette weakly followed him out the door. "I'm never going to gamble ever again..." She spots a coin on the floor and dove for it. "IT'S MINE!"

Kooper picked it up and gave it to a passing Toad couple. They smiled. "Thank you!"

Bombette glared at Kooper but he only replied. "Sorry but it's for your own good." and he walked out of the Green Station.

"Well! Let's see how he good he finds being blown up!" Bombette lit her fuse and ran after him. "SORRY BUT IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!"

They all met back at the Yellow section and they all sat down at a table. Jimmy slurped on an orange slushy and asked. "So did everyone have fun."

"No!" Everyone but Goombario shouted.

"Bow took me shoe shopping!" Parakarry growled. "She dragged me there spent the whole two hours looking at shoes! And-and WHY?! She's doesn't even have FEET!"

"They're pretty!" Bow snapped back. "And I needed someone to model them."

At that, everyone but them gains dot eyes and an anime sweat drop. "Huh?"

"Kooper lost all my money at the Green Station Casino!" Bombette shouted.

"So I see when we lose, the "W" in WE gets flipped over when the blaming is done!" Kooper shouted back. "At least I can gamble without freaking out!"

"Um at least we had fun." Goombario and Jimmy said and then everyone glared at him. "Um...we're not gonna talk anymore..."

"Hi Guys!" A familiar voice called. Everyone looked over and saw it was little light bulb, Watt. "What are you doing here and who's he?"

"Well we were searching for you." Jimmy said. "My name's Jimmy and I'm the new hero on the block. Mario, Luigi and Peach have been kidnapped by bowser so I'm here to help save them."

"Mario's in trouble? Then I have to help you guys! It's the least I can do since he freed me from that Lantern guy's lantern. Let's go now, I hate it here. Everywhere I turn around, some shyguy is tries to screw me into the ceiling!" Watt shouted. "Let's go!"

They nodded AFTER they ate their food and they all jumped onto the train to the Blue Station. The train stopped there and they got out but they gasped when they saw that all the people were gone. "Where is everyone?"

"They ran away in terror because of me!" Kammy said delightfully and flew up to them. "Now...that there are no AHEM...lines of people, we can have some fun."

"You don't know what fun is, You creepy old witch!" Goombario shouted. "How do you sleep at night, doing what your doing?"

"Easily mind you." Kammy smiled evilly and tossed a couple of marionette dolls on the floor. "For your sorry group, I think these will be more than a match!" Then she took out her magic wand and it glittered ominously. She waved her magic wand over the puppets and dust began to fall on them.

"Jimmy and his company want to play,
so let's make him satisfied on this day.
Let's do some evil that makes me jive...
I'll cast a spell that brings you two alive!!"

She then struck the dolls with rainbow waves of energy and the Dolls sparkled and glowed. They grew to a size a tiny bit smaller then Jimmy. They turned out to be 2 Shy Guys that wore colorful, baggy garments much like a street performer. They jumped up and did a pose, making Goombario take a long look and found they looked identical except for clothing colors. Kammy flew to the door and turned back to the two jesters. "Have fun, fellas. Play nice...well, actually don't play nice. Hee hee hee!" She cackled and flew up the hole, out of the toybox.

Everyone took a fighting stance against them and they both sang and juggled to one another. They stopped and turned to them and the one in blue stepped forward and greeted them. "I'm Gouf!" The one mostly in red then stepped forward and greeted them. "I'm Awwf!" They both then sang in unison. "Let's rumble!"

They jumped to each side and stood there, doing nothing. Goombario suddenly shouted to everyone. "These two clowns are known as Gouf Awwf and they are twins which means they MUST be destroyed both at the same time!!" Jimmy, Parakarry and Goombario separated into a group and took on Gouf. Bow, Watt, Bombette and Kooper separated and faced off against Awwf. Goombario then continued. "AND Since they're Jesters, they're probably HIGHLY intelligent so watch out for clever attacks!!" Goombario led the attack by doing a headbonk on Gouf and he dodged by doing several back handsprings. He fell on his head and groaned. "Don't forget, they are also VERY nimble and quick on their feet."

Jimmy jumped up and took out the agility badge and chanted. "Agility!" He jumped up to Guuf and started lightspeed fighting. While Gouf was busy, Goombario headbutted him and knocked him to the floor. Gouf smiled and snapped his fingers and suddenly a spring board appeared under Goombario and sprung him up, he crashed against the ceiling of the toybox and fell back down. He collapsed and groaned, his eyes were replaced with swirls in an anime way. Parakarry dived at him and Gouf dodged it, also grabbing him by the foot and he was dropped into an oversized balloon. Gouf blew into it and tied it off, then he just released it and tied the balloon string through a hole, leaving Parakarry stuck in a balloon. Jimmy used his speed to sweep the clown's feet out and he power stomped him. The Clown screamed and found himself returning to his marionette form. Jimmy smiled and looked on as Awwf was also back to his normal wooden self but then gasped in awe as he saw Kooper down and out just like Goombario and Bow trapped in a balloon just like Parakarry. "Amazing..." He bent over and found a badge with a un-detailed gemini symbol on it and he put it in his pocket.

"Get us out of here!" Parakarry and Bow yelled from their balloons and Jimmy popped each. Parakarry then coughed and wheezed. "Thanks, air was running out...huh?" He saw Jimmy run over to Goombario.

"Goombario! Are you all right? Speak to me!" Jimmy cried He said and rubbed the bump.

"Mmmgh..." Goombario groaned and opened his eyes and found himself in Jimmy's arms. "...what happened?"

"You took a hit in the head." Jimmy replied. "We should put ice on it..."

"I don't need it..." Goombario mumbled.

Jimmy sighed at that. "There you go again...I'm going to ice that when we get to the toad house." He also ran up to Kooper and examined him. "Kooper! Are you okay?"

Kooper groaned and rubbed his shell. "I'm fine since I hit the one part of my body that has built-in armor."

Jimmy smiled warmly and replied. "I'm glad. Now let's get out of here." They were about to leave when a shy guy approached them. The shy guy was odd looking for he had question marks all over his robes. Jimmy stepped up and asked. "What's this?"

"My name is Fate Guy and I tell fortunes! But I can answer any question too, it only costs 1 coin." Fate Guy danced. "Who wants to ask me a question?"

"I do!" Bow snickered and gave him a coin. "Everyone go away! It's personal!"

They all shrugged and continued walking to the trampoline and jumped out of the toybox. Parakarry thought to himself in irritation. "The question is probably 'How can I trick Parakarry into wearing bows and dresses.' I'll bet it is!"

"Okay...what's your question?" Fate Guy asked.

She snickered again and asked. "Are we gonna complete this quest?"

"Why would you ask something like that. Just curious." Fate Guy replied.

"Just curious." Bow giggled. "Come on, give me all the dirt."

"Fine." Fate Guy replied as he spun around and clapped his hands. A piece of paper appeared out of thin air. "Here you go."

Bow took it and read it. "Hey! What do you mean 'You don't know?!"
 
 

That's the end of Chapter 7. Kind of fun for me to write, so what do you think so far?
