Paper Mario & Luigi

Chapter I

The 100th Anniversary

Disclaimer: I do not own Mario.

Note: Try to picture the characters in their paper forms. (Like from Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64.)

At Mario's House

One day in the Mushroom Kingdom, the koopa with wings swooped down to the mailbox of the two plumbers. He opened up the mailbox, put the sealed envelope inside it, and yelled "Mail call!" This alerted the mustatioed man in green to approach the mailbox and pick up the envelope.

"Hey, bro! The mail's here!" said Luigi to his older brother in red as he went back to the house.

"Who's it-a-from?" asked Mario.

Luigi read the envelope. "It's from the Princess. I'll read what it says."

"Dear Mario and Luigi,

You have been invited to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Mushroom Kingdom! It will be held at the castle. Daisy will be there, too. We hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,

Princess Peach"

"Wow, nice. We better get going now. "

"Yeah! Lets-a-go!"

At the castle

Mario and Luigi finally arrived at the castle. It was looking as marvelous as ever.

"Maarioooo! Luuigiiii!" a local Toad cried at the Mario Bros. "Mario! Luigi We're so glad you came here! The princesses are waiting for you."

"Okay, Toad! Thanks for-a-telling us!" Mario thanked the local Toad with green spots on his mushroom-like hat. "Follow me!"

Mario and Luigi followed the Toad with green spots onto the steps in the last room on the first floor. As they approached, the doors slowly opened.

"Thanks, Toad!" Mario and Luigi thanked the Toad.

The doors closed quickly, and the lights flicked on revealing the Koopa King, Bowser in his giant Koopa Clown Car along with Peach and Daisy. Luigi gasped at seeing both the princesses and his face went redder than Mario had ever seen.

"Bwahahahahahahahaha! Ah, Mario! Green 'Stache! You ran into my little trap! Now, I got you and the princesses!"

The toad with green spots ran into the room and let out an evil laugh. He pulled off a sheet that revealed to be a green Koopa Troopa with a sinister grin. "I fooled you big time!"

"Very well done, my minion! You deserve a reward!" Bowser said very sinister-like.

"Mario! Luigi!-" Peach tried to yell for help but Bowser interrupted,

"Silence, Princess! Now Mario and Green 'Stache, face the wrath of Bowser, the Koopa King!"

Mario and Luigi jumped into action.

"You will not win this time!" said Bowser.

"Oh yes we will!! You will never take Daisy away from ME!!!" yelled Luigi who's face was burning red.

Bowser jumped out of his Koopa Clown Car. First, he breathed his fiery breath on Mario and Luigi which they quickly dodged. Almost immediately Luigi jumped right on Bowser's head. Next, Mario grabbed his hammer and smacked Bowser repeatedly.

Bowser colapsed to the floor. "Ugh...Not again... (sigh) you win." But then quickely he jumped back up and bounced and flattened both of bros. They remained conscious, but now to slow to keep up with Bowser. He jumped back into his Clown Car. Right after that, Mario and Luigi regained their sized.

"Come-a-back!" Mario yelled. He ran for the Flying Car but failed.

"Mario, if you are going to rescue Peach and Daisy, I will help you," Luigi volunteered. "You can count on me."

Mario smiled. "That's very generous of you, bro. You can come with me, but first we have to visit Merlon to see where Bowser has gone off to.

"Good idea, Mario," said Luigi.

And so Mario and Luigi desperately sought Merlon's house and this was how their papery adventure began...
