A/N; Due to the title being ridiculously long on purpose, I have to title it like this. It's called; Five Nights at Mario's Olive Garden; Friendship is Fucked - an Undertale Lemon.
Prologue; A new opening.
It's a beautiful day outside at the Mushroom Kingdom. A nice, soothing sunshine with happy clouds float by with ease to hide the sun momentarily. In the outskirts of the kingdom is a small and comfy looking house. The mailbox says 'The Mario Bros.'. Inside held Mario, which is normally still asleep at this time of day, and Luigi that is always up early to prepare the day. Luigi took a seat in their dining room and opened up the newspaper.
"Let's-a see what we got in store for today!"
Luigi said in a excited tone of voice. He was always eager to see if anyone around the Mushroom Kingdom needed any sort of help. He never asked for any rewards from a hard task completed; only the smiles from whomever is all he needed. As for Mario.. well, that's a much different story. Luigi skims through the newspaper to see if anything new was available.
"News.. The weather.. comics.. hm?"
Luigi questions to himself as he kept looking through the front side of the newspaper.
"I don't-a see anything at all for help! Mama mia, I can't just sit around-a here doing nothing all day!"
Luigi said aloud to himself. He placed the newspaper down and looked around at the other sections of what the newspaper had to offer. Normally, Luigi only looked at what's around or in the Mushroom Kingdom and not anywhere else that may be extremely far away. Picking up another stack of papers that labeled 'The Warp Zone Times', he began to look at the help needed section. Out of the few well known places that Luigi and even Mario went to, one area took Luigi's attention.
"Now, what do we-a have here?"
Luigi said as he placed his index finger across the words.
"'Help needed at-a Snowden New restaurant building made but not enough experience cooks. Need help!'."
Luigi read that as he ran his finger across the words. A wide and adventurous smile formed on his face.
"That's it! Say, Mario, wake up!"
Luigi yells out behind him. Mario grunts in annoyance and waves his hand.
"What are you-a yelling at now, mama fucker?"
Mario spoke in a tired and angry tone of voice.
"We got a restaurant to-a open up, brother, right in Snowden!"
Luigi replied with a excited tone of voice. Mario seemed confused by this as he got up from his bed. He only wore white boxer shorts that have 1-up mushroom stamps all across it, unlike his brother Luigi that's fully dressed.
"What's this-a shit you're talking about Luigi? What restaurant?"
"It says right-a here, Mario! Clear as broad daylight!"
Luigi offered the newspaper to Mario that was wiping his tired eyes. Mario looked at what Luigi's finger is pointing at; the Snowden ad for help.
"Snowden? Why does that-a sound familiar..?"
Mario spoke as Luigi, surprisingly, is already packing up two suitcases for Mario and himself.
"It's-a that place that's under the mountain, Mario. You know, with-a those monsters and that-a kid."
Mario thought about the words Luigi just said. Underneath the mountain? Monsters? Some stupid kid? Slowly, but surely, the memories began to flush inside Mario's brain.
"… Mama mia, Luigi! Are-a you talking about THAT-A damn place?!"
Mario snaps at Luigi, which Luigi gave no mind of.
"Yep! We can-a open up that restaurant and-a make some coins to-a help the people over here in Mushroom Kingdom!"
"… And for ourselves too. Well, but not as much for-a you Luigi."
Mario said which cause Luigi to roll his eyes.
"Anyway Mario, if we-a go there by taking the Koopa Taxi and a warp tunnel, it'll be about-a hundred coins. Not too-a bad for a possible chance to-a make some good coin!"
Luigi said as Mario began to think about the idea. It wasn't exactly the worst idea Luigi ever had, it was close but it was also something that Mario didn't feel like doing at all. Mario began to plot his way into not going.
"Say brother… don't you remember what that place got for-a currency? It's-a not coins but dollars instead. You know; Real world-a money."
Mario said with a grin. Luigi wasn't bothered about that at all. In fact, he let out a small chuckle.
"I-a know a Koopa that can help and trade cash for-a coins. Try all you-a want Mario, but we are going over there!"
Luigi stated.
"I advise you to-a start getting dress. We got about fifteen minutes for the next-a Koopa taxi that will be in the Kingdom!"
Luigi added. Mario sighs again and decided to start get dress. He walked back to where his room is and open up the closet. It may be due to how tired Mario felt at the moment, but something about this trip felt off. It felt exceptionally bad. Mario only shrug the feeling off as he slid on a clean pair of socks, his comfortable red shirt and a new pair of blue overalls. He buttoned them with a semi-loud snap and sat on his bed.
"This is going to be the last-a time I sit on this old bed for a damn good-a while.."
Mario says to himself. It wasn't the best feeling bed ever, but it's quite a old bed that just hasn't lost it's touch just yet.
"Come on Mario! Stop being slow like-a Goomba and get ready! We-a got five minutes left!"
Luigi yells out from the dining room. Mario scoffs as he put on his sturdy brown shoes and silky white gloves on. Looking around the room one last time to see if he missed anything else that may be important, he noticed his cellular phone.
"I think I'm-a going to need this."
Mario told himself as he grabbed the white and red cellular phone, stuffing it in his overalls pocket and began running out the house. Mario squints his eyes from the sunlight, still sensitive still from waking up. He saw Luigi by a warp tunnel dragging two fully loaded suitcases.
"Ah… there you are Mario. Can you please take-a your suitcase?! We got no-a time to lose!"
Luigi yells out to Mario. Mario let out a small chuckle at the sight of his overburdened brother before nodding to Luigi. Mario slowly picked up the brown suitcase that had the letter 'M' on it. For some odd reason, it's heavier than what Mario would normally pack up.
"Yeesh, Luigi, the hell did you-a put in this?"
Mario complained about the abnormally heavy suitcase, as he shook his head.
"Not right-a now, Mario. I'll explain everything when we're in the Koopa Taxi."
As Luigi spoke, he jumped into the air while holding his own suitcase and entered a tunnel. Mario follows with a lower jump due to a mixture of how high he can actually jump and the extra weight of his suitcase. Mario went down the warp tunnel, gaining massive speed heading towards the Mushroom Kingdom. In three seconds or less, Mario appears from the tunnel by jumping out of it. With no hesitation, Luigi graspeds Mario by the arm and starts tugging him towards the Koopa Taxi that was waiting for them up the road.
"There he is, Mario! It's right on-a time as expected of the koopa taxi!"
Luigi excitedly said, as Mario only rolled his eyes. The toads around the plaza stared at the brothers as they placed their suitcases in the trunk of the vehicle. They started to murmur quietly to each other, which drew attention to both Mario and Luigi. Mario didn't feel like talking, as usual, so Luigi clear his throat and started to speak.
"Don't-a you worry everyone, me and-a my brother Mario are going to another place to-a help out a lot of people!"
Luigi stated. Right as he said that, the Toads began to speak over each other. Loud, raspy pitch voices over lapped each other saying 'How long are you going to be away?' and 'What if Bowser comes to steal Princess Peach?'. Mario wiggles his nose and marvelous stache, already having a headache. He turned to Luigi, which was struggling to answer every Toad the nicest way possible.
"Alright, ALRIGHT. We are-a going to be back soon, Princess Bit- I mean, Peach, is going to-a be alright. Calm down! We got to-a go!"
Mario shouted loudly to stop all the other voices. They all stopped talking as Mario open the taxi door and hopped on in. Luigi awkwardly waved goodbye and proceeded to enter the taxi as well, shutting the door.
"Wowsa Mario, you handle that situation nicely!"
Luigi stated as he rarely hears Mario not cursing every minute or so. Mario shrugs his shoulders and began to look out the window. Luigi explained to the Koopa that's driving where they are going, while paying him in advance. The taxi's engine cranked on as they start to drive out of the plaza. Mario turned to Luigi for some more questions that he could finally ask.
"Alright Luigi, now what's the big idea with-a my suitcase being so heavy? I don't pack that many-a shit in it to begin with."
Mario raised his eyebrow towards Luigi, as he watched him nervously scratching the back of his head.
"Well uh.. you see, here's the thing Mario.."
Luigi starts to say as he clear his throat again. By the looked of it, Mario already felt like this was a bad idea.
"While I read more on that-a article, they needed more than a fancy cook. This is where you come in. You see Mario, they need someone to-a watch over the place overnight and-a such once everyone leaves."
Mario kept his serious expression and eyebrow raised. By the looked of it, he wasn't amused by this.
"So what you're-a trying to tell me is that I have to be some-a night guard in a restaurant?"
"Well.. yes, and you have to-a also help cooking stuff too!"
Luigi added. Mario's eyes widen as he shakes his head side to side.
"Whoa whoa now mama fucker, I have to-a work the day AND-A night shift too?! The hell is-a this!?"
Mario barks at Luigi, graspeding his collar. The driver took a glanced behind him, only to get startled and turn back to the road swerving a little. Luigi waves his hands frantically in the air.
"L-Look on the bright side Mario! It's-a only a little in the day time, and you'll be-a getting paid much more than-a me!"
Luigi said, which caused Mario lessen his grip. Mario was still, without a doubt, pissed.
"Hmph.. Fine. Whatever, I'll play you're-a little game. I swear Luigi, if this goes-a wrong.."
Mario warned before letting Luigi go, going back to his side of the taxi. Luigi let out a sigh of relief.
"So yeah.. what the hell is in my-a bag, Luigi?"
"I packed you plenty of-a clothes to switch in during our stay there. Let's see.. got some shampoo, your-a favorite Bean Bean coffee mix and your-a mustache comb."
Luigi answered. With that much weight to it, it must be a much longer period over there than merely a few days.
"Okay.. question two; Where are we-a staying at? We don't exactly have that much-a funds to stay at some-a hotel or something."
Mario asked, only to have Luigi respond with him snapping his fingers.
"We have a free place we'll be staying at! We just have to-a make sure we tidy up any messes we-a make."
Mario thought about that answer. He didn't recall any friends Luigi knows nor anyone around that place that would accept them staying at their houses. This was a question that Mario, again, shrugged off and went with the next one.
"Last-a question, well… at least I-a think it is. How long are we-a staying over there?"
Mario asked. This time, Luigi didn't answer instantly. He sat there thinking about it while stroking his smooth mustache.
"You-a got me there, to-a be honest Mario.. I can safely say about a week. Eight days? Maybe more, maybe less."
It didn't sound too bad for Mario, despite how annoyed he continued feeling about the idea. Luigi tended to do things like this to him all the time; Planning something without talking to him about it. During the taxi ride, Luigi kept talking about it excitedly due to never having actually gone down there before. Mario remembered his adventures there vaguely, which wasn't exactly the greatest when some kid holding a knife was trying to kill him. A first, Mario recalled the events, but he'd rather not think about those days.
The taxi began to slow down as they arrived at their destination. Outside the window was a large acorn tree with a warp tunnel. This was something that Mario didn't even remember.
"Well, here we are Mario! The tunnel that'll lead us to our destination!"
Luigi said in a cheerful voice. Mario gets out of the taxi and proceeds to go to the trunk. While pulling his suitcase out, he continued to glare at the tunnel.
"Say uh... Luigi. I don't remember this-a tunnel being here to go down there. What gives?"
Mario asked, having a hunch that Luigi may have had something to do with this. Luigi took his suitcase out and placed it on the ground before waving to the taxi driver, ignoring Mario for a moment.
"Hey, Luigi!" Mario shouted
"..Huh? Oh, what's-a up brother? Aren't you-a glad that we are-"
"Where the hell did this-a tunnel come from Luigi?"
Mario cuts Luigi off in mid-sentence. Luigi stares at the tunnel for a while before tilting his head in confusion.
"Huh.. well, didn't you make this-a tunnel Mario from last time?"
Luigi asked Mario, which he responded with a sigh. Luigi brought his suitcase with him towards the now mysterious tunnel. He pokes at it for a little bit, only to shrug.
"Seems pretty safe to-a me! The papers said that this will-a bring us straight into Snowden. Only thing to-a do now is hop on in and get going."
Luigi said while Mario lifts his suitcase up and walked towards the tunnel cautiously. Before Mario could offer an idea to be safe, Luigi suddenly jumped into the tunnel.
"See ya in the bottom, brother!"
Luigi yells out as he goes down the tunnel. Mario gasped at Luigi's sudden impulsive action, growling in anger.
"The fuck is-a this bullshit you're-a pulling off?!"
Mario said before taking a deep breath and jumping into the tunnel. He began to descend through the tunnel at intense speed. Rather than the three seconds it took to go to the Mushroom Kingdom, this took much more time. Mario held his suitcase tightly as he began to see something below. He saw what appeared to be a yellow patch of something, surrounded by darkness. Mario dropped from the tunnel that was placed on the ceiling, causing him to fall towards the ground. He quickly threw his suitcase down on the ground to soften the impact as he stomped on the suitcase, landing with a powerful thud.
Mario looked around the area, not seeing Luigi at all.
"Luigi! Luigi? Where the hell are you-a at?!"
Mario calls out in the darkness. He looked down to see that the yellow patch is instead a patch of yellow flowers. He never went too far inside this area. He only recalled some hotel, a castle in the distance and lava; Lots of lava. As Mario continued to yell, in the distance he saw a light piercing the darkness.
"Mario, I'm over here!"
Luigi yelled out. Mario grabbed his suitcase and ran over to where Luigi stood. He was using a pocket flashlight that he tends to hold whenever he's reading a book in the dark.
"A little scary at-a first, but nothing like a bit of light to-a show the way!"
Luigi exclaims, only to have Mario smacked him hard on the back of his head.
"Ow! What was-a that for?!"
"That's-a for being a stupid son of a bitch! Why the hell did you just entered an unknown tunnel? You could of died!"
Mario fussed Luigi. Luigi thought for a moment, as this is something Mario doesn't normally say.
"I uh.. I'm-a sorry brother. I guess I got-a too excited about doing this and rushed on in without thinking."
Luigi admits, as Mario scratches the back of his head.
"Say, I-a thought you didn't care for me that much. I can see that was a big lie right there!"
Luigi added on while laughing. Mario growled and punched his arm a tad hard.
"Shut it, Luigi. I'm-a just making sure you're not getting hurt for-a no damn reason."
Mario said as Luigi, despite aching a little now, chuckled. Luigi turned around and shined his flashlight through the darkness. Up ahead there was a sign that they began to walk up to. The sign reads; 'Please take the shortcut provided to reach my home…'. The rest of the sign was faded, unable to read what the rest of the message had to offer, they continued walking. Luigi shined his light to his right to look above the wall. The wall had an opening that looked a shortcut.
"I-a believe this is our shortcut. Would you-a want to lead, Mario?"
Luigi asked as he offered him another mini flashlight. Mario nodded and took the light, turning it on.
"I'll let you-a know if it's safe or not. Don't wander around till I-a come back, got it?"
Mario said as Luigi gave him a thumbs up. Mario placed the flashlight in his mouth to give him a free hand for jumping. Holding the suitcase tightly, he got a running start and did his trademark triple jump. Each jump ascends higher and higher as the final jump made him reach the so called shortcut. He grabbed the edge with his free hand and pulled himself up slowly. The little tunnel looked new, as if someone or something had made it recently. It didn't stop Mario though as he walked down the uneven tunnel.
After about a minute of walking, he looked down to see a house in the ruins.
"Guess this must be the place.. lemme give him a call."
Mario said to himself as he pulled out his cellular phone. As he dialed the number, he jumped down below, approaching the house slowly.
Luigi picked up the phone after a few rings.
"Hey Mario! I assume it must-a be safe over there?"
Luigi said over the phone.
"Yeah, looked like it's the place too. Well, I don't know but I found a house."
"Alright, I'm-a coming brother! I'll be there in a minute!"
Luigi hangs up the phone as Mario examines the house more. It looked a bit beaten up and old; At least several years old. Given it's appearance despite that it looked old, it did look nice. Mario decided to knock on the door to see if anyone was home.
"Hello? It's-a me, Mario… I'm here for some restaurant assistance or whatever the ad was."
Mario said loudly hoping someone would hear. Of course, there was no response at all. Luigi finally made it as he jumped down from the shortcut.
"Yep! This is the right-a place! Let me just give someone a call and we'll be on our way."
Luigi mentions as he began to mess with his phone.
"The right place? Is this where we working at?"
Mario asks as Luigi shakes his head. Shortly after Luigi placed his phone in his pocket the door began to open. This caused Mario to jump back, prepared for whoever or whatever was opening the door. The door opened to reveal a large, white goat lady that was wearing a purple dress with white trim and a blue heart design on the front. Luigi chuckled as Mario walked back to stand next to him.
"Oh? Are you the nice people that was willing to help us out down here?"
The goat lady asks, as Luigi quickly responds with a nod.
"Yes indeed! Me and my older brother here, Mario, are here-a to help out that restaurant from the paper! Mario, this is Toriel. She's the one that asked for-a help in the paper, and this is the place we'll be crashing for the next week!"
Luigi said, as Mario looked at Toriel for a while before offering a handshake. Toriel reached out and gently shakes his hand.
"Such a pleasure to meet you two! Please, do come in out of the cold I have a nice warm fire going."
Toriel said in a gentle tone. Luigi began to follow her inside, as Mario brought his suitcase inside and sigh.
"Oh mama mia.. Let's-a see what the hell I'm-a in for this time around..."
A/N; I haven't written in years, but hey that's the Prologue. I've written chapters 1 and 2 as well. I may regret it, but I'm on a mission to complete this thing for the fans and friends.
