1. Why Italian Accents Are a Problem:

A/N: To be honest, I find it quite annoying when people write Mario and Luigi's dialogue in Italian accents. So I just ignore it, and keep reading. Anyway, I only wrote their speech like this for this one story, because otherwise it wouldn't make any sense. Based on a role playing argument with my bro. What fun!

Luigi sat at the kitchen table. He was making a sandwich.

"Oh-a no!" He heard a voice exclaim.

"Who-a said that?" Luigi called, turning to face the doorway.

"It was-a me, Luigi," Mario stated, walking into the kitchen holding his hat in his hands.

"Don't-a be-a ridiculous, Mario," Luigi laughed. "Of course-a it wasn't a mii. It must-a have been-a you."

"That's-a what I said," Mario responded, a puzzled expression on his face. "It's-a me, Mario!"

"Not a mii," Luigi shook his head. He pointed to his lunch. "Sand-a-wich."

Now Mario looked very confused.

"Luigi, how-a do I sand a witch?" It was Luigi's turn to be confused.

"With-a sand-a-paper?" he asked. "Is-a this a trick question?"

"No," Mario shook his head. "You-a brought it up."

"I was-a talking about-a my lunch," Luigi said. "I was-a wondering if you thought-a my sand-a-wich was a mii."

"Why are you-a bringing up-a miis, again-a, Luigi?" Mario asked.

"Because you-a said 'Oh-a no,' and-a I asked who it was-a, and you-a said 'Its-a mii!'" Luigi yelled.

"Yes, but it had-a nothing to do with a mii! It wasn't a mii!" Mario shouted.

"I know it wasn't a mii!" Luigi cried desperately. "It was-a you!"

"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!"

Mario was shouting at the obviously very confused Luigi about how he got a hole in his cap, and that miis, witches and sandpaper had absolutely nothing to do with it. Luigi crouched on the floor, his hands over his ears. Just then a face popped up, looking in at the open window, with a cheerful smile as the Mario Brothers' mushroom-capped friend popped in for a visit.

"Hi, guys!" he called, waving his stubby arm, and oblivious to the argument. Both brothers stopped what they were doing, Luigi stood up straight, and went to greet their friend.

"Hi-a, Toad!" Mario called cheerfully. Luigi stopped in his tracks.

"Mario," he said warily. "Why on earth do you-a want to-a hire Toad?" Mario's eye twitched.
