Author's note! Hello! This story is based off a song called 'Hotel California' by Eagles. I love the song so I made Fanfiction out of it. Enjoy!

Kaylana and Mr Numquam are owned by me, the rest are owned by Nintendo. Comment please, flames will be promptly ignored.

"Where are we going?" Luigi asked his brother.

Mario sighed. "Somewhere far, far away from the Mushroom Kingdom, I imagine," he replied.

"Wait, so you don't have any clue where we're going?" Luigi enquired. "Honestly! You're supposed to be in charge! Why did we ever trust you?"

"Leave him alone!" Peach snapped.

Bowser's crazy, kooky son Iggy had against all odds, shown his evil side and invented a mad machine that combined all of the koopalings' (and a few others') power and gave it all to Bowser. No-one had expected it. Everyone thought that Iggy was just a crazy little kid, only bad because his dad wanted him to be, but it turned out, he was the best actor the Mushroom Kingdom had ever seen. Bowser had invaded The Mushroom Kingdom and as much as it broke his heart, Mario had to admit that he couldn't stop him so he, Peach and Luigi had fled, leaving the destroyed kingdom behind them.

It was raining hard and the three were all very tired. Mario saw a shimmering light in the distance and ran towards it. There he saw a large building; the sign read 'Hotel Numquam'. He grinned in triumph.

"Peach! Luigi! Get over here!" he called.

"What is it Mario?" Peach asked.

"I've found us a place to stay," he replied.

In the doorway of the hotel stood a woman. She had curly black hair and green eyes and her name badge said that her name was Kaylana. She greeted Mario, Peach and Luigi with a smile.

"Welcome to Hotel Numquam," she said. "Please come inside."

However, no matter how happy Kaylana seemed, Luigi was the only one who saw past that. He saw the fear in her tired eyes. They were a little pink from crying and had purple bags. This made Luigi curious.

As she resumed her place behind the counter, the three followed her in, looking around in surprise. The place was huge, and old. There were no electric lights, only fire torches on the walls. The place was pretty dark and creepy too.

"Hey Luigi, this must remind you of home eh? Of that mansion of yours," Mario said.

Luigi laughed. "Yeah," he agreed.

Soon they had booked two rooms and once they got there, they were so tired; they collapsed onto their beds and fell asleep.

Thanks for reading! Sorry it was so short, there will be more, I promise.
