The sun rose on that blissful morning. The birds sang and chirped, Luigi slowly awoke from his bed. Mario stood, staring down concerned and serious.
Luigi: "Is it morning already?"
Mario: "Uh, yeah. It's time to get up."
Luigi: "Great."
Mario: (Sigh) "Bro, we have a lot of discussing to do."
Luigi: "Last night?"
Mario: "Yes. Why were you up?"
Luigi: "Okay, how many times do I have to tell you, I COULD NOT SLEEP!"
Mario: "Is that the real reason, Luigi? Because I feel like you are hiding something from me."
Luigi: "I'm not!"
Mario: "Yeah you are!"
Luigi: "Mario! Quit putting a guilt trip on me!"
Mario: "If you don't tell me what's actually happening, I will tell everyone that your pants fell off one time in class during 3rd grade."
Luigi: "Alright! I will tell you! As long as you promise..."
Mario: "Promise what?"
Luigi: "That you will keep it a secret."
Mario: "I promise. Can you tell me?"
Luigi: "Yes. I own a very peaceful, charming, blissful, happy place."
Mario: "Sounds wonderful! What is it exactly?"
Luigi: "My secret garden."
Mario: "Secret garden? Where is it?"
Luigi: "It's in a dome. Underground. I wait until the entire town is asleep. I have this remote I use to lift the dome out of the ground."
Mario: "That's really cool! I wonder why I don't feel the ground shake?"
Luigi: "You sleep too heavy. Tonight, I will show you this magical place that comforts every living soul. Prepare to be amazed by the presence of beauty, majesty, and dignity. I found my place here."
Mario: "Bro... that speech was... amazing."
Luigi: "I know."
Mario: "Why would you want to keep it a secret? It sounds like a fantastic place to live."
Luigi: "Think about humans. What have we done to the environment?"
Mario: "Pollution, deforestation..."
Luigi: "EXACTLY! I built this place to give animals who were homeless a new home. Hardly any human interference, no pollution, no deforestation."
Mario: "I'm happy for you. But, maybe we should tell Peach. She cares a lot about the environment too, y'know."
Luigi: "Bro! You haven't even seen my secret garden yet! Chill out!"
Mario: "Okay! Okay! I won't! I promise."
Luigi: "You promised me earlier. You better not tell ANYONE!"
Mario: "I said I promised!"
Luigi: "If you break it..."
