Prologue: A Night to Remember
It was September 14, 2001. It was raining outside and it was cold. Very cold. Unusual for this time of year. I was sitting in my chair, reading a book. Then I saw a letter come from the slot built in my door. I got up and walked toward it, not knowing that it would change my life forever. It was a letter with no return address, only a destination. And my name on it. Luigi. I opened it up and it was a map and a letter. The letter said: Dear Luigi, You have just won a mansion! Here are the directions to it. Then I looked at the map, and I saw a path pointing the way directly from my house to a wonderful mansion! But… I didn't enter myself to win a mansion…. Odd. Maybe one of my friends entered me, thinking I deserved it. I don't know. I called up Mario and told him to come over and meet me at the mansion. The conversation went something like this:
Luigi: "Hey Mario"
Mario: "Whats up bro? Its pretty late at night…."
Luigi: "I know. But I got a letter saying I won a mansion! I would like you to meet me outside it at 10."
Mario: "ok…. Do I have to?"
Luigi: "…. Just come. I'll text you an image of the map."
Mario: "fine. Be there soon."
I hung up. I loved my brother. Sure, he went a little crazy sometimes. Like that one time I beat him in tennis. When I held up the trophy, Mario came up and slapped me on the back. But I felt my foot sting, and I looked down and saw his foot digging into mine. Owch. But still, hes an ok brother. But he needs to just relax. Hes always saving the princess. No wonder hes high-strung. Can't peach learn some self-defense moves? I mean seriously, can't she put up a fight? Whatever. Not my problem. I walked out the door and headed to the mansion.
