Super Mario- Forgotten Hero

Mushroom Kingdom – Peach's Castle

Luigi's POV

Ugh…it's THAT time of year again.

The time of year where princess Peach can't help herself but stop everything in the mushroom kingdom just to have it happen. The time of year where every resident stops what they are doing and heads straight for Peach's Castle. The time of year where Bowser sends a "surprise bomb" that everyone is expecting. What time of year is it again?

Oh yeah, Mario's Birthday.

Yep, it's Mario's Birthday once again, and Peach threw a party just for him. Everyone came, and I mean EVERY toad, koopa, goomba, everyone. I came as well, as you would expect, to celebrate my brother's AMAZING birthday. Sorry, but I'm in a VERY bad mood.

I bet right now you don't even care what I have to say right now, because all you care about is what Mario is up to right now. Well let me tell you if you didn't know already, flirting with Peach of course. Are you happy now? What am I doing right now, since you DIDN'T ask? Standing in front of a punch bowl, talking to you.

I bet no one even knows I'm here! Seriously I haven't talked to Mario all day, and when I show up, he doesn't even have the decency to say hello! And after I spent forever on his gift, searching for weeks for the materials to build it.

Usually, this wouldn't bother me that much, I mean, I'm overshadowed ALL the time by my brother. Everyone says, 'thank you Mario for saving me' but who's head did he have to jump on to get to that cliff? Mine that's who! Not even a thank you.

All of this has happened before, and let me tell you, that are not even the reason that I am so mad. The fact of the matter is everyone forgot my birthday.

I expected this, but I didn't want to believe it. My birthday was yesterday, yes yesterday, and not ONE person, mushroom, or thing said happy birthday. Although, Yoshi was kind enough to say Happy Birthday to me, which made me a little happy SOMETHING remembered, even if it was a green dinosaur. Mario didn't even remember, he was too busy thinking about his birthday the next day! I walked around the entire Mushroom Kingdom, and everyone was just planning for Mario's birthday. Posters, signs, the whole nine yards. I was a little heartbroken. But I decided to shake it off to celebrate my bros birthday. I know he forgot mine, but I would NEVER forget his.

It is almost 10, and Princess Peach called up Mario to the stage to say a few words. Of course he was happy too.

"Hello Everyone, It's A-me, Mario!" And everyone clapped for the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom.

"I would like to thank everyone for coming here tonight, as this party wouldn't be as great without every single one of you." Everyone cheered again. Why couldn't that happen to me?

"I fought many monsters and villains, and I couldn't stand here a say that I did it alone." That's when I got my hopes up. Maybe he will give me the respect I deserve.

" Thanks to Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, all you Toads and Toadettes, Wario, Waluigi, and even Bowser on rare occasions, I wouldn't be able to stand here today." ….Wait….what…

"Everything else I basically did single-handingly and I couldn't do it without the villains of course."…..what?

"And thank all of you for coming, and enjoy the rest of the night." …..WHAT?!

T-That did not just happen! He didn't just go up there and say that, he didn't! He couldn't! I have saved his skin more than a few times! And he has the nerve to not include me in there.

Mario stepped off the stage, and went talking with Princess Peach.

T-That was the last straw! I walked up on the stage and grabbed the Microphone, head furious at what I just heard.

"Okay, LISTEN UP!" I yelled as loud as I could to get everyone's attention. Mario looked up at me, apparently surprised I was here.

"I have been saving my brothers behind for a while now, and not a thank you was given. I have saved this town many times, and no one cared. I even saved Mario by myself, with nothing by a vacuum to defend myself, and not a clap, or a hug, or a pat on the back was received!" Silence from the entire room.

"I bet no one even knew it was my birthday yesterday did you!" Still, no response. "That's what I thought, because no one cares about luigi, no one thanks luigi. It's always Mario this and Mario that. You have my games of him, T-shirts of him, TV shows, Movies, and what was I in them? The lazy brother who stays at home while the heroic Mario saves the town. "

Mario eyes went from being amused, to being filled with sorrow. My eyes were filled with tears at this point.

"I'm not asking to make a parade in my honor, I'm not asking to make a TV show about me, and all I ask is that someone in this forsaken town could at least remember my name!"

Mario walked up and put his hand on my shoulder, but I shaked him off. "Bro…"

"So go ahead and enjoy my brothers party to your heart's content, but just know I'm not having you back anymore Mario, and never again!" I shoved passed him and headed towards the door. Eyes from all around were staring at me. It didn't matter. After tonight, they didn't have to look at me ever again.

I burst out of the castle full of people I thought were my friends, but I ran forward, never looking back. I could hear Mario call my name, but I don't care. I didn't care right now; I just wanted to be as far away as possible from the people who never cared about me. And now, I can say something about me that I am and always will be.

Alone.
