(Edit 2/8/2019. I made some recent edits to this (not totally because of the disappointment that was The Super Bowl 53 halftime show), but the grammar should hopefully be better now)
Luigi's Bank Geeks
It was just another quiet day in the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom. Everyone was going around in Toad Town with a smile on their faces. However, in the residence of the Mario bros home, Luigi was a different case. He was home alone while his famous brother, Mario, was out. Luigi had no idea what he was doing but it could be anything, whether it be visiting the Princess Peach, shopping, or just helping out around Toad Town. Luigi was doing some cleaning around the house when he heard the sound of someone knocking on his door. Luigi went to it and opened it and he saw a toad in a doctor like attire and some others similarly dress like him.
"Yeah, uh, we're with the pet hospital down the street and I understand you have a dying animal in the premises…" the toad said.
"Sorry, you must have the wrong house," Luigi said.
After clearing it up that the fact his pet, Polterpup, as it names implies, is a ghost and indeed not needing any care, and the doctors left and as soon Luigi closed the door his phone then ringed.
"Hello, you've reached the residence of the Mario Bros," Luigi said as soon he answered his phone. "Please start after the beep."
"Sounds as though you got a dying animal to attend to, eh old chum?" came a crackly voice that Luigi instantly recognized.
Luigi took a small gasp realizing that the person as "King Boo…'
Luigi had encountered King Boo not once but twice in the past. King Boo both captured Mario as a means of revenge. Luigi successfully defeated the ghost king both times and captured him. However, Professor E. Gadd agreed to let him go free on the condition that King Boo and his Boo's will stay out of trouble. A promise that King Boo surprisingly kept. However, that doesn't mean he still can't be mischievous.
"I hear you're still playing the role of Player 2 these days," King Boo said to Luigi from the other line.
"Uhh..." Luigi stuttered. "...Sometimes. Hows that crown?"
"It's big and fancy," King Boo said in a playful mocking matter."You know, Luigi, my life has turned for the best ever since that professor set me free. I've done so many honest accomplishments since then. One of them is being a leader of a big fancy band, and we're supposed to play the Mushroom Bowl next week."
"The Mu-mu-mu. Mu-mu-mu. Mu-mu-mu."
"That's right, I'm making more achievements than you ever could. But the problem is that I have royal duties to attend to next week and can't make it. So I was hoping that you and your band could cover for us."
"Oh. I um-um-um," Luigi stuttered once again.
"Ha. I knew it! You don't even have a band! Well...I'll just let you go back playing 'sidekick' no.w"
"Hold it!" Luigi snapped. "It just so happens that I'm NOT a sidekick! I DO have a band! And we're gonna PLAY that Mushroom Bowl! How you like that, Mr. Fancy Ghost?"
"Good luck next Sunday. I hope the audience brings lots of..1-UP MUSHROOMS!"
That was the last thing King Boo said before he hanged up the phone. Luigi then started to twiddle with his hands, thinking about what he just has done.
"I got to drum up a marching band fast...Drum..hehe band humor."
The Next Day...
Princess Daisy of Sarasaland was taking a stroll through Toad Town when she happened to noticed a poster. Curious, she read it.
"Looking to add fulfillment to your dull dull life?"
Somewhere else in the castle of Bowser Koopa, Bowser Jr. happens to be reading the same poster. "Then become part of the greatest musical sensation ever to hit the Mushroom Kingdom."
Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom also is reading the same poster on the window of a bakery.
"...And be forever adored by thousands of people you don't know."
Wario is also reading the poster in a bathroom stall at a fast food restaurant.
"Not to mention...Free refreshments!"
In a tree house not far away, Donkey Kong is to reading the same poster as he stacks a pile bananas.
"Practice begins tonight. 7:30 sharp."
Later that evening...
Luigi was driving to the warehouse where the classes were gonna take place. As he was driving he took a quick glance at his watch and he noticed he was 5 minutes late.
"Stupid music rental clerk made me late. That nincompoop didn't know an oboe from an elbow." Luigi grumbled but he then decided to lighten up. "Heh, elbow, heh. More band humor".
Luigi went inside as soon as he arrived. He noticed a lot of Toads, Koopas, Goombas, few Piantas, and a couple parakoopas and goombas were in attendance. He also saw some familiar faces such as Mario, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser Jr., Rosalina, Toad, and Birdo.
"People! People! Settle down," Luigi said out loud and everyone complied. "Ok now, how many of you have played musical instruments before?"
"Do clown cars with gadgets count?" Bowser Jr asked.
"No."
"Are pinballs an instrument?" Waluigi asked.
"No Waluigi, pinballs are not an instrument." Waluigi then raised his hand again but Luigi spoke. "Tennis rackets aren't an instrument either."
Waluigi put his hand down. After that, no one else spoke up.
"That's fine, no one has any experience. Fortunately, I have enough talent for all of you!"
Luigi proceeds to laugh at his joke but then realized no one was laughing and was met with awkward silence.
"When do we get the free food?" Wario spoke after a few moments.
"Ok! Try to repeat after me!"
Luigi then played several musical notes on a clarinet.
"Brass section go!"
Brass section, which had Daisy, a purple toad, and a red shell Koopa, played their instruments in the same tone Luigi did.
"Good! Now the wind!"
Wind section, which contained a female pink pianta, Birdo, a lakitu, and a green shell koopa played their instruments the same matter as well.
"And the drums!"
Drum section, which has a shy guy, a goomba, Donkey Kong, Rosalina, and Yoshi, put the drumsticks in their mouths and blow on them. The sticks then flew out of their mouths and flew fast towards Luigi, pinning him to the wall. Thankfully he wasn't harmed.
"Too bad that didn't kill me…" Luigi said glumly.
A little later into the class Luigi then decided to try something new and hopefully, nothing will wrong.
"Let's just try stepping in rhythm. Now I want everyone to stand in straight rows of five!"
"Is this the part where we start kicking?" Mario asked.
"No, Mario, that's a chorus line."
"Kicking!?" Waluigi shouted. "O,h I want to do so kicking!"
Waluigi then imitated a kick, but he ended up accidentally kicking Daisy.
"Why you…" Daisy gritted her teeth in anger.
Daisy chased Waluigi out of the room, with the latter screaming in fear. Moments later, he let out a loud scream before it suddenly went quiet. There was nothing but silence for the next few moments before Waluigi poked his head into the room.
"Whoever is the owner of the white mushroom car, you left your lights on." Was the first thing Waluigi said. He then entered the room everyone saw that he was stuffed into a trombone. How Daisy managed to do this no one knew.
Luigi knew that the next four days were gonna be the longest days of his life.
The Next Day (Day 2)...
Today, class started in the late morning as Luigi wanted to test everyone's marching skills. Everyone was marching on a pathway outside of town. So far they made better progress than yesterday evening's class.
"Ok, that's perfect everybody! Mushroom Bowl here we come! Flag twirlers really spin those things!" Luigi noticed a turn coming up. "Okay...Turn!"
Everyone proceeded to turn. As they continue to play, Luigi noticed that the flag twirlers, which were being done by two Hammer Brothers, were twirling the flags very slow.
"Flag twirlers! Let's go! I want to see some spinning!"
The hammer bros twirled the flags a bit faster but Luigi was still not satisfied.
"Flag twirlers! Let's move! Come on! Move!"
The twirlers then spin the flags super fast. It was so fast that the hammer bros. flew in the air very high. A blimp was flying nearby and the twirlers crashed right into it, causing a major explosion. After which, everyone looked up to the sky and a blue Toad with a trumpet begin to play 'Taps'. As he did, Luigi then laid down on the ground and he curled up with disappointment.
The Next Day (Day 3)...
After what happened yesterday, the class ended early. And as a result, today's class started in the late afternoon. Luigi had just gotten word that the two Hammer Bros miraculously survived but will be the hospital for quite a while. He was relieved to hear the news but will need new flag twirlers, but he has other things to focus on.
Today's class he decided to let everyone to practice on their own instruments and he checks on everyone once in a while. So far everyone was making little progress. Luigi approached Bowser Jr.
"Hows that harmonica solo coming along, Junior?"
"It's awesome. You wanna see? I added some cool tricks."
"Sure. Go Ahead."
Bowser Jr. did a backflip and played his harmonica. Next, he did a cartwheel and played it again. He then did three more backflips and played the harmonica as he did them. As he did a few more flips he began to tire out. As he played the final blow he collapse down in exhaustion. Luigi came to his aid after he fell.
"Take it easy, Junior," Luigi said as he walked him to a chair and gave him water. "Why not just play it normally?"
"Fine…" Junior said.
Luigi then left Junior to rest and proceed to check on the others and their progress.
The Next Day (Day 4)...
Today was the final class before the performance as the Mushroom bowl. Luigi knew that most of the members barely made any progress, but he has a small ounce of hope left.
"Well...this is our last night together before the show! And I know you haven't improved since we started," Luigi said as he noticed Donkey Kong fiddling around with a trumpet.
"But I have a theory! People talk loud when they want to act smart, right?"
"CORRECT!" Bowser Jr. shouted.
"So if we played loud, people might think we're good!" Luigi suggested optimistically. "Everybody ready?"
Everyone eagerly prepared to play their instruments.
"And a one, and a two. And a one, two, three, four!"
At that moment everyone played their instruments played as loud as they could. They were so loud that the windows in the room broke. As soon as it died down Luigi stood very still like he seen a ghost. The sound waves were strong enough to break his baton in half.
"Okay new theory. Maybe we should play so quietly...no one can hear us..."
A blue pianta that's next to Wario didn't take that too kindly. "Well, maybe we wouldn't sound so bad if some people didn't try to play with fat, greasy hands!"
Wario took notice of that. "What did you say, punk?"
"Fat. Greasy. Hands!"
"Well, these hands ain't for just collecting money."
"Bring it on fat man! Bring it on!"
Before the pianta and Wario can duke it out, Mario step between them in an attempt to calm them down.
"Now you two. Let's be smart and talk this out."
"Oh! So now the red plumber is gonna lecture us!" Birdo said.
Everyone in the room then started to argue amongst themselves. Luigi tried to settle the situation down before it gets worse.
"Wait, wait! I know tensions are high…"
But before Luigi can finish everyone in the room springs into an all-out brawl. Luigi noticed Donkey Kong and a goomba arguing intensely before a parakoopa slammed a drum on the goomba.
"There's a deposit on that equipment people!", Luigi said calmly but to no avail.
Wario and The Blue Pianta were running at each other holding oboes like they were both in a joust. However, Peach slammed cymbals on both of them before they could strike each other.
"Settle down! PLEASE!" Luigi said again, this time he was more desperate but no one listened.
As the brawl went on, Daisy approached a Lakitu holding a xylophone board as a shield. But Daisy manages to break apart and the Lakitu fled. Before Daisy can pursue him, Waluigi came up from behind and kick her, this time on purpose. Like last time, Daisy wasn't happy and pulled out a trumpet. Remembering what happened last time, Waluigi ran away screaming as Daisy chased him.
The band brawl continued until they heard the ding of the clock. Every suddenly stopped and saw it was 9 PM.
"Hey! Class is over!" Yoshi stated.
And as if there wasn't a brawl moments ago, everyone started to walk to the exit cheerfully saying goodbye to one another. But as they approached the exit, the doors suddenly open. What everyone saw is a sad looking Luigi.
"Well...you did it. You took my one chance at happiness...and crushed it. Crushed it into little tiny bit sized mushrooms! I really had expected better of you people. I guess I'm a loser for that, too. Don't bother showing up tomorrow. I'll just tell them you all...died in a marching accident. So, thanks. Thanks for nothing…"
Everyone stood in silence as they all watch Luigi leave until he was completely gone.
"You're welcome," Waluigi said.
"What kind of monsters are we?" Mario started. "That poor man came to us in his time of need, and we failed him. Luigi was always there for us when we need him. Rosalina, when your baby luma got lost, who found him for you?".
"Uh...you did," Rosalina answered.
"And Donkey Kong, when your tree house needed to be rebuilt from that storm, who helped rebuild it?"
"It was you," Donkey Kong replied.
"Right, but if we just pretend that Luigi was me in those times, then I'm sure that we can all pull together and discover what it truly means, to be in a marching band,"
"Yeah! For Green Mario!", The blue pianta cheered out.
With that everyone cheered for their friend Luigi. They all then assembled the instruments that weren't destroyed and they prepared themselves to work their hardest.
"Now let make my brother proud." Everyone quickly got in position and Mario raised a baton. "A one, a two, a skiddly diddly doo."
The Next Day (Day of the Mushroom Bowl)
Luigi walked shamefully towards the band entrance to the Mushroom Stadium.
"I knew this was gonna happen. They're just gonna have to find another band to play. I just hope that…"
Before Luigi finished that sentence he looked up and to his horror and shock, he was staring at King Boo.
"...KING BOO DOESN'T FIND OUT! KING BOO! AAHHH!"
After taking a moment to calm down Luigi approached King Boo.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hahahaha! I just came to watch you blow it. So, where's your band?"
"Uh, they couldn't come. They...died."
"Then who are they?" King Boo pointed behind Luigi.
Luigi turned his back and to his shock, it was the members of his marching band all prepped up in gear.
"AH! THAT WOULD BE MY BAND!" Luigi yelled.
"We're ready to perform Luigi," Mario said.
"Well, 'Weegee', this is exactly how I pictured your band would look," King Boo said as he and Luigi both noticed Mario dancing a little bit.
"That's his...eager face," Luigi said glumly.
Luigi proceeded down the entrance as King Boo and members of his band followed him. They arrived in a dome-like area and they walked in it.
"Well, I guess this will be the last time I can show my face in this kingdom."
"That's the spirit, Luigi!" Mario said.
Once everyone was inside the dome, it then begins to rise up. As its climbing, they heard the voice of the announcer of the Mushroom Bowl.
"Okay, football fans. Put your hands together for the Mushroom Kingdom Super Band!"
As the dome finally reached their destination everyone took notice that the cheering audience didn't exactly look like the typical residents of the Mushroom Kingdom.
"These are some weird looking Toads," Waluigi pointed out.
"Maybe we're in one of those weird looking kingdoms?" Mario suggested.
"I think I'm gonna be sick," Wario stated.
Everyone quickly got to their positions and they were ready to play.
"Ok everybody," Luigi started as he looked back and saw King Boo grinning mischievously.
"Let's get this over with. One, Two, Three...Four".
Luigi looked away waiting for the impending failure and humiliation. But instead, he heard the sound of the introduction music playing wonderfully without any slips up. After the introduction was done, Luigi turned to face the band in shock.
Luigi then noticed Bowser Jr. playing on the keyboard. The music from the keyboard sounded amazing. As Junoir continue playing on the keyboard, members who played the introduction moved to form a path and the lights started to go dim. A spotlight then shined upon Mario who was holding a microphone.
'The winner takes all…' Mario sang.
'It's the thrill of one more kill. The last one to fall…"
Luigi couldn't help but stare in shock as his brother continued to sing. As for King Boo, if he had eyebrows he would've cocked one of them. They both then continued to watch Mario sing his song.
'Will never sacrifice their will.'
Suddenly the staged they light up and Luigi saw the action happening. He saw that Waluigi was on the electric drums, Daisy and Peach playing electric guitars, Wario playing on a keytar, and Rosalina on the saxophone. Everyone was playing their part as Mario continued singing.
'Don't ever look back on the world closin' in.'
'Be on the attack with your wings on the wind.'
'Oh, the games will begin.'
King Boo couldn't believe what he was seeing. Luigi's band was playing well! Luigi couldn't believe either. Luigi then turned and faced the shocked ghost King and gave him a smug look. Luigi faced his band again, discarding his baton and started to dance with happiness.
'And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.'
'And it's ours for the taking, it's ours for the fight.'
King Boo realized he couldn't take too much. He then fainted from the shock. Some nearby Toads carried him away on a stretcher. As they did, Luigi gave King Boo and smug goodbye wave. Luigi then ran towards the stage and continue to savor the moment.
'And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.'
'And the one who's last to fall.'
Peach glided on the stage playing a wicked guitar solo at that verse.
'We will have sweet, sweet victory!'
Luigi heard the cheers of everyone. He couldn't believe it but he did it. It was a long journey but he did it. He finally felt the feeling of success. He then jumped to the air as everyone kept cheering him on.
The End.
