The sun cracked through the clouds announcing the start of a brand new day to the townsfolk of [[Skibby Jibs]], a town unlike any other. For Skibby Jibs was a town that housed mushrooms and not your normal mushrooms no these shroomfolk were sentient beings!
There was one shrooman unlike the rest and his name was [[Roberto M. Doyle]]
A town founded in 1678 by the great Francis Fungus.
Now Roberto lived alone in a little shack behind the Skibby Jibs Community Centre and rarely left his house execept for the odd grocery run. But he held a secret, a secret he one day hoped to share with all the shroomans in the world. Roberto could [[DANCE!]]
Dancing had always come naturally to Roberto, when he was 13 after his mother was taken by one of the big hands in the sky Roberto took to shaking his body to get his emotions out, this soon turned into a dance.
He would dance at every opportunity, whenever he wakes he hops out of bed and dances, if he opens the door to let the air in he'll do it in a fashion that so closely resembles the moonwalk you would swear he was Michael Jackson.
For years he danced on his own, never to let anyone see his passion. But that all changed one faithful [[day.]]
Whilst walking back from the local store with his bags Roberto heard a loud booming voice coming from beside the Jibby River. He wandered down to find a large Moleman asking all those who passed him to dance off or else he would eat every last shrooman he could find.
The people of Skibby Jib all ran away in terror hoping that maybe someone would help them! Roberto knew that this was the time he had always dreamed of, this was his [[moment.]]
He bounded towards the moleman who announced himself as Harmon King of Moletopia (a town Roberto had never even heard of) and chortled as he saw Roberto appear before him. How could a small little shrooman like this beat a beast like him!
"You will not bully this town." Roberto said tripping over a pebel and onto his smushy face as he walked.
Harmon laughed so hard he snorted pointing at Roberto exclaming to the town "This is the one who would call himself your hero! A [[fool!]]"
Roberto lifted himself up, staring right into the eyes of Harmon. "No. I will not hide today" he readied himself.
<h1>[["I AM THE EPITOME OF DANCE"]]</h1>
Roberto launched into the air perforing the *Super Mega Deluxe 360 Let's Break it Down Trick Shot™*
The shroomans gathered round a gasped as they saw this little shroom spin to win. He landed right ontop of Harmon knocking him into the Jibby River. The river bank exploded with the sounds of cheers, Roberto looked up as he landed on the bank and saw the whole town run towards [[him.]]
"What's your name boy!" A particularly bulbous shrooman asked him.
"Roberto, Roberto the [[Dance Master]]" he said grinning. The shrooms carried him back into the centre of Skibby Jib and they had a feastival to celebrate the great dancer of Skiby Jib!
Now it turns out Harmon could not swim...but worry not! This is a happy story and he was the villain so let's skip over that [[bit.]]
A name he had coined for himself after scoring a high score in Dance Dance Fungi for the Fungtendo 64 in 1999.
Roberto remained in the hearts off all the town folk of Skibby Jib for generations to come, all who passed through the village heard of his heroic tale.
Roberto the Dance Master will forever remain in the folklore of shrooman kind.
[[END.]]
No yeah, it's over. I never promised a long story.
