Knock knock knock. Mario's ears perked up as he heard the door knock. It was 6:00 AM, and the plumber was surprised. He was expecting his clients to arrive today, but not quite so early. Mario's coffee maker hadn't even finished producing his sweet morning salvation. Nonetheless, Mario yawned and walked over to the door in his Sunday best. Well, not really his Sunday best, but actually his morning robe.

Mario opened the door to be greeted with a handsome man who looked to be in his 30s. He held a microphone and wore a smile with a business suit. "Hello Mr. Mario, I'm Danny Tanner and the host of Wake Up San Francisco! Is there anything you'd like to say to the viewers, my handsome new landlord?"

Mario was taken back. Beyond the man he could see a news vehicle and what appeared to be the man's family. The man, Danny as he called himself, mentioned in his sign-up sheet for staying at the mansion that his family would be coming along, but Mario had not expected for him to bring three daughters, two men who were likely his brothers, two twins, a propane salesmen, and a dog. Sure enough however, he did. Mario hoped the reporters around him weren't family members as well.

"Wow, that's'a lot of'a people you have there!" Mario said with a smile and welcoming voice. "I take it your'a TV show host?"

"Yep, that's right! Mr. Mario I am such a big fan and to give my thanks for letting my large yet humble family stay at your mansion, I figured I would let you co-star my talk show today. I've been doing these episodes alone ever since my friend's wife Becky saldy passed away," Danny said.

Mario tried taking that all in at once. It seemed like a lot. "Wow..." he begun. "I'm sorry to hear of your friend's wife. My'a condolences."

"Oh, no, it's okay I assure you. Likely Uncle Jesse managed to move on and find a new love. He and his new spouse Hank Hill are like kindred spirits, you see. They love each other so," Danny explained, half looking into the camera and half looking at Mario.

"So'a... you're all welcome to come on in but are you'a going to be recording inside? Because we have a no'a camera policy," Mario said, trying to deliver the rule politely.

"Oh! Well if that's the case, then I guess I'll be off air today," Danny replied. He waved his hand as a signal and the reporters shut everything down and piled into their vehicle. Mario welcomed everyone as they entered.

"So I suppose I should introduce you to my extended family," Danny begun.

"This is DJ. My first daughter. Careful to lock up the snacks tight at night! DJ can get really hungry for midnight snacks, and if you're as much as a neat freak as I am you know those can get messy!" Danny said as his daughter showed visual displeasure at just about everything in her description.

"Next up, we have Stephanie," Danny begun. "My second daughter. She follows in DJ's foot steps and is adorable," the man continued. "And speaking of adorable," he said as he pointed toward the youngest girl in the group. "This is my youngest daughter Michelle. I know you'll all love her even though she can be a handful."

Mario was okay with what he saw so far. Everyone seemed nice and the father himself appeared friendly. After Danny was done introducing his daughters, the man with long black hair walked up to Mario and shook his hand.

"I'm Uncle Jesse," the man with black hair greeted.

Mario returned the shake with a tight grasp. "Nice to'a meet you, and sorry about your'a wife."

Uncle Jesse let a small tear release. "It's okay, I've moved on. Thanks for your concerns, but with Hank, my life is back to a firm and good state," he replied. "Honey, why not introduce yourself," he asked as he notioned toward a man with brown hair and glasses.

The man approached Mario and shook his hand in a similar fashion as Uncle Jesse had. "I'm Hank Hill, and I sell propane and propane accessories. I used to live in Texas until a propane accident blew up the house. I lost the kid, the wife, and even the dog," Hank begun. He was tearing up now. "I also lost my niece, and the blast... also took down some of the neighborhood. Oh Khan, I'm so sorry if you can hear me up there," Hank continued as he looked toward the sky with tears streaming down his face.

Mario felt himself tensing up inside. He felt guilty for evoking sorrow in Hank even if he only shook his hand. He let go of Hank's hand and patted him on the back. "I'm'a sorry, Hank."

"Thanks. It's just that I've been so dang emotional since then. My old wife Peggy, she would have been telling me to talk about it if she were alive. But she's not, so I make myself talk," Hank explained as he wiped away tears. Uncle Jesse hugged him from behind and consoled him.

"A-anyway," Danny spoke up. "This is our dog Comet and the two young twins you see are the children of Jesse and Hank. Their names are Nicky and Alex."

"Hello Comet, Hello Nicky and Alex," Mario said. He smiled at them.

"They really love your Super Mario games," Hank said as he sniffled and smiled.

"And saving the best for last," said the blond man who hadn't spoken until now. "Uncle Joey!"

Uncle Joey definitely seemed like a character, and a zany one at that. Mario already felt slightly annoyed. If anyone was going to be a handful, he thought. It would be Joey.

"Well, I'm sure you'll'a recognize many faces around here, so I'll'a have you just introduce yourselves to people rather than have me call them all'a out here," Mario said. "Now it's'a time to show you all to your room."

"Ooh! Is it a big room?" DJ asked with excitement.

"Oh man! Do we all get different rooms?" Joey squeaked in giddy excitement.

"No, just one room. We're booked so during your one week stay you'll be confined to one room, sorry. Our usual guest room got destroyed after Sonic told Pac-Man he was 'fruity' when he ate a cherry. They got into a fight because Pac-Man wasn't having any of that shit," Mario explained.

"Please! Don't use language like that around the children!" Danny shouted.

Mario was drawn back. "O-oh, sorry! That'a shit just'a slipped out!" he stammered.

"No, I'm sorry for yelling. I don't know the rules around here, but if we can place a rule that doesn't encourage the usage of profanity, I would be grateful," Danny said as he went back to his usual nonchalant mood. It seemed he had a short temper...

"Alright, then. No profanity around the guests," Mario noted aloud. "Now as I was saying, you're all going to be in a single room. Our 'extra' room that our recently welcomed back member Mewtwo is staying in. Just a warning, though... he can be a little problematic."

"Problematic?" Danny inquired.

"Yeah, he's a little... rowdy. We kicked him out once but we're giving him another shot. If he does anything bad again, we're banishing him for good," Mario explained.

"Well, that's good. We'll try to be friendly with him and tell you if he does anything problematic then," Danny said.

And with that, Mario and Danny exchanged friendly glances, but Mario couldn't help but feel something was about to go wrong. So deadly wrong.

Since it was so early, Danny agreed with Mario's notion of getting some shut eye so everyone could wake up around 9:00 AM. When Danny and co unpacked, Mewtwo awoke from his bed and looked around in the room only to see the new guests occupying the abundance of bunk beds throughout it. He grunted and rolled around to his side. "I'm on to you freeloaders. I know exactly what you plan to do," Mewtwo grumbled. He clenched his fist like an edgy edgelord before closing eyes and rolling over in his bed.
