"Hey, hurry up!" The voice was a weird Italian one, or maybe it was something different. Lestrade couldn't tell. All he know is it was suddenly there and he had a massive headache. Where was he? "Big bro! Come on!" The voice sounded again, closer to him. Surly it wasn't talking TO him? He didn't have a brother. "Greg, get up! The princess has been kidnapped by Bowser! Well, actually, she's been kidnapped by Bowser again… Well, you know how it is… Mean old King Koopa…" The voice blathered on, making Lestrade even more confused. Sitting up, and nearly hitting his head on a bunk bed above him, Lestrade looked over to the voice. It was a man in green, in overalls and a green turtle neck. He was sort of tubby, had a mustache, as well as very cartoony eyes, and a huge nose. A HUGE nose. On his head he wore a green hat emblazoned with an L.

"Who are you then?" Lestrade said, cutting him off. The man pouted slightly.

"Greg, itsa me, Luigi!" He said, kicking at the ground. "You shoulda remember me, I'm your little brother!"

Lestrade tisked slightly. "I don't have a brother." He stated, shaking his head. "Never had, never will. And what was all of that about a princess getting stolen?!"

"Greg, big bro, have you been drinking? Of course I'mma your brother! I'mma your twin brother!" Luigi whined, causing Lestrade to roll his eyes.

"Get on with the story about the princess."

Now there was a string of words Lestrade hadn't ever expected to use. But Lestrade was willing to do anything to shut up Luigi from whining about 'Big Bro Greg'. That string of words was almost as bad as the line about the princess.

"O-oh." Luigi stammered out. "Well, you know Princess Peach, only the girl you've had a crush on for years, and apparently King Bowser bait, and ruler of Mushroom Kingdom. Once again the fair Princess has been kidnapped by that blasted King Koopa! It's up to us to save her once more!"

Lestrade stared at the other man, who looked back. Finally, Lestrade broke the silence. "Mushroom Kingdom." He stated. Luigi nodded.

"That'sa right. Our home." Luigi supplied.

"And Bowser would be…" Lestrade gently lead Luigi on.

"A sixty foot high, fire breathing turtle, yes." Luigi said, with a nod.

Another round of starring ensued.

"Well come on, Greg, I even have a super mushroom for you. Letsa go!" Luigi said, showing Lestrade a red and white mushroom. Lestrade frowned at it.

"Are you high, Luigi?" He asked, looking up at the man. "How long have you been taking these super mushrooms?"

Luigi frowned back at him, and then the mushroom frowned at him.

THE MUSHROOM FROWNED AT HIM.

"Are we BOTH very high?" Lestrade squeaked out in surprise, staring at the thing.

"No, no Greg, not THAT kind of super mushroom." Luigi said quickly. "Unless it is, then we've got bigger problems the Bowser…"

"I'D SAY SO." Lestrade burst out, louder than he had meant to. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, running his hands through his hair, Lestrade took a moment to relax. "Alright. Start from the beginning."

"What beginning?"

"The very beginning. Tell me about how we got to Mushroom Land, or whatever."

"Well, we were working on a drain, being plumbers and all…" Luigi started, telling Lestrade the story of The Lestrade Brothers.
