"Stop acting like you control me, Mario!"
"I'm your brother, Luigi. I'm supposed to look after you,"
"I'm a grown person, and I can look after myself!"
"I'm worried about you..."
And those were the last words he heard from his brother.
Luigi, the second-rated younger brother of Mario, had come along on a perilous journey to rescue the beautiful Princess Peach from the wrath of Bowser, King of the Koopas. Mario, the hero of this popular tale, has always been watchful of his sibling, and was thus afraid of him becoming a tag-along rather than a true hero himself. The rousing argument over them seemed to have started not long after they saved the Princess from the clutches of King Koopa...
"Drat! You just wait next time, Mario! I shall be back!" laughed Bowser under his fiery breath. He snorted a puff of smoke from his nose, threw a fiery glare towards the brothers, and jumped to his floating clown copter, which flew off into the distance of dark clouds.
Mario, holding Peach in his arms, watched intrepidly as the King of Koopas escaped out of sight. Peach held onto his neck, her face dirty from being imprisoned and her skin trembling in fear. Little worried tears slightly washed the dirt from her face. Luigi stood close to his brother, and sometimes wondered curiously what would happen if Bowser actually DID mean to get away with Peach someday? He instantly shook off the idea and looked to Mario for what they are to do next. After all, he was the boss and he didn't want to assume anything out of respect. He waited for his command patiently.
Mario stood still, his escaping hair blowing in the wind, his cap almost sliding off, and after he knew that Bowser was truly gone, he walked to the nearby warp pipe. The Princess still held tightly onto him and just before he whisked down the pipe, he signaled Luigi with a "Cmon." Luigi obeyed, following his Master into the darkness of the green metal.
