Brothers Forever

Summary: Well guys, I'm back with an all new Mario story! This one is another post-Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. However, it doesn't interact with the "My Younger Brother" trilogy. I got really psyched and excited to do another Mario story, especially after the awesome reviews I've been getting. Now, this story is going to follow the game's timeline, minus "Mario & Luigi's Dream Team" and "Mario's Missing". Other than that, sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Pairings: Mario/Peach, Luigi/Daisy, and hints of Luigi/OC

Well, it was another typical day in Mushroom Kingdom. Mario Manfredi, the hero of the kingdom was outside of the castle. He had been called there by Toadsworth, about urgent business. The red hated plumber figured that the princess went missing again or Bowser kidnapped her to make her his wife, again. Whatever the reason, Mario was here, ready to see Toadsworth.

"Malleo," said a voice.

Mario spun around, knowing that voice anywhere. Standing there was indeed Mario's younger twin brother, Luigi. Ever since the last mansion incident, Luigi was living outside of the kingdom's borders in his mansion. Yet, he still had a reasonable job even though he was very rich and well off. Next to Luigi and on a leash was Polterpup, the ghost pup that Luigi had adopted.

Mario smiled at his baby brother and stated, "Ciao, Weegie!"

Luigi opened his arms, wanting a hug but Mario high fived him instead. Rolling his eyes a little, Luigi smiled.

He asked, "What's up bro?"

"Not much, Toadsworth called me here," Mario answered.

He kneeled down to Polterpup's eye level and 'petted' the ghost pup.

"Hey, boy," Mario said to Polterpup, smiling.

Polterpup barked as he pounced on the man in red. The ghost pup gave Mario so many ghostly kisses, that it tickled. Mario chuckled as did Luigi, who was pleased on how well everyone was getting to like Polterpup.

Luigi stated, "Well, I was taking Polterpup out for a walk. Think there's trouble?"

Polterpup finally got off of Mario, panting. Mario brushed himself off, smiling.

"Not sure fully but if there is, I could use back-up," Mario replied, placing his hand on Luigi's shoulder.

A few months had passed since the second mansion incident and Luigi wasn't into adventure as much, since his job with Professor E Gadd kept him busy. Luigi had agreed to become his assistant. He was required to capture the ghost Elvin needed to study. Polterpup was his partner. Since the ghost pup could actually track ghosts better and quicker, Luigi figured that the ghost pup needed to be with him in the field.

Luigi looked at his older twin brother and asked, "Can I bring Polterpup and the Poltergust 5000? Just in case?"

Mario chuckled as he answered, "Of course, no harm in that."

Polterpup wagged his tail happily as he barked. Mario and Luigi both laughed as the castle gates opened. Standing there was Toadsworth. "Ah, right on time Master Mario," the old toad greeted. That's when he saw Polterpup with Luigi.

He smiled as he asked, "Ah, Master Luigi, what brings you and Polterpup here?"

"Just taking him for a walk, Toadsworth," Luigi answered.

Mario stated, "I would like for him to be in our conference, if Peach is missing."

"Where'd you get that idea from," Toadsworth asked.

Everyone was confused. Obviously, they weren't all on the same page.

Luigi clarified, "Well, usually, you don't request a meeting with just my brother unless Princess Peach is missing or kidnapped."

Toadsworth scratched his face and stated, "Oh, oh I see. Well, the princess is fine, I need your help."

"With what exactly," Mario asked, getting curious.

Toadsworth looked around as he answered, "Inside, all of you." The three of them obeyed, entering the castle as Toadsworth stated, "I am glad that both of you are here, I won't have to repeat myself fifty times."

"The problem is that bad," Mario asked.

"Afraid so and Peach is working on something right now," Toadsworth answered.

Polterpup, getting antsy, broke off his leash and ran off.

Luigi groaned, "Bad doggy!"

Luigi went chasing after Polterpup as Mario sighed annoyed.

He stated, "You better off just telling me then I'll tell Weegie." Toadsworth nodded.

Peach was in her bedroom, reading. She had to admit that she was bored but she couldn't believe that all of this was happening. Suddenly, Polterpup came through the wall, grabbing her book.

"Hey," she said, with a giggle.

Polterpup looked at her, wagging his tail, with her book in his mouth. Peach giggled as she thought, 'Luigi was right, Polterpup is awfully playful.'

She took a step towards the ghost pup and asked, sweetly, "Mind giving me back my book?"

Polterpup tilted his head and swallowed the book. Peach gasped as the ghost pup went through the wall. The princess giggled as she followed Polterpup. She was grateful that Luigi had such a playful friend. She really needed a break from what she was doing and she chased Polterpup all around. Eventually, she bumped into the green hated plumber.

"Hey Peach," Luigi greeted, a bit awkwardly.

Peach giggled and asked, "Looking for Polterpup?"

Luigi answered, "Yeah, you've seen him?"

"He took my book," Peach stated, with a smile.

Luigi groaned as he apologized, "I am so sorry, Peach. I'll help you get it back."

Peach replied, "Thank you but let's take our time. I am not looking forward going back to work right away. Especially for this problem."

"What is the problem anyhow," Luigi questioned.

Peach explained, "Believe it or not, we have to make a peace treaty with Koppa Kingdom and Bowser."

The green hated ghost hunter blurted out, "A peace treaty?!"

The princess of Mushroom Kingdom nodded and replied, "I know, I couldn't believe it either."

"Where did this idea come from," Luigi asked, curious.

Peach answered, "Believe it or not, it was an idea from BeanBean Kingdom."

Luigi blurted out, "Fawful's kingdom?"

Peach nodded and replied, "I had the same reaction you did. I can't help but wonder what he wants."

"Certainly not peace," said Luigi.

Peach nodded again as she responded, "I know. You and Mario up for checking this out?"

Luigi smiled and answered, "It will be an honor, your majesty."

The princess could tell that Luigi was joking with the last two words he said.

"Weegie," Peach teased, smiling.

Luigi laughed but laughed more when Peach started to tickle him. Soon, the book was long forgotten as was Polterpup. Luigi and Peach stood in that hallway, tickling the other.

AK1028: Okay, there's the start of this story. I hope its a bit decent, the action will pick up soon as will the mystery. I had to do this story to announce that I finally got through "Paranormal Chaos" in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Hopefully I can beat the game now, hahaha. Anyways, please read and review! And always think outside of the box!
