Here is a far longer chapter. I sure hope it's okay. When writing most of it, I was feeling depressed and I wondered if my writing standard would change. See if there's a difference to the writing standard in this chapter.
Mario was soon sitting on one of the tables in the lunch room, joined by his many friends, including Peach, who sat next to him, admiring him. He had ordered lots of food for lunch and was now greedily swallowing it all down, getting some all over his face and on his moustache, The children were not disgusted. Whether Mario's moustache was clean or dirty, they still thought it looked cool on Mario. Nobody noticed Luigi, who was sitting on another table by himself. He didn't mind, for he was used to sitting on his own.
"Hey! Kid with moustache!"
Luigi did not look up as Bowser marched past him, heading towards Mario's table, holding onto an empty plate. The boy in red and his many friends looked up as the Koopa stopped in front of him, a fierce look on his face.
"What, Bowser?" sighed Mario, getting to his feet. "Have you come to eat me, like you did in your story?"
"No," Bowser replied innocently. He walked over to Mario and thrust empty plate into the boy's hands. "I want fish for lunch!"
Mario looked at the empty plate in his hands, then looked up at the Koopa, puzzled. ""Well then, go and tell the dinner ladies. They cook the food. Not me."
"They're out of fish, stupid!" Bowser stomped his foot angrily. "I want fish!"
Marop began to look worried. "Um, why don't you go fishing? Do you go fishing?"
"Yes, but Daddy always make me throw the fish back! He won't let me eat 'em!" Bowser jumped up and down on the spot in fury. "I WANT FISH!!!
"Okay, okay!" Mario groaned, getting fed up of the Koopa's tantrum. "I'll get you some fish. But I'll need help from someone."
All of the children on Mario's table shot to their feet. They all looked at Mario with smiling and hopeful expressions. They were all willing to help their friend with a moustache.
Mario's blue eyes scanned all of the children in his sight. "And that person will be..."
All of the children's eyes widened in suspense.
"Luigi!"
As all of the children started to gasp in horror and sulk in disgust, Luigi's ears perked up, having heard his brother say his name. He looked over his shoulder to see his brother, surrounding by miserable moaning children, smile at him.
Luigi was confused. "What did you call me for, Mario?"
Holding his smile, Mario walked over to Luigi and took hold of his right ear, pulled him to his feet and dragged him towards the door of the lunch room, causing him to cry out in pain.
Once they had disappeared out of the door and were standing in the corridor outside, Mario let go of Luigi's ear. The boy in green rubbed his ear and glared at his brother. He knew that whatever his brother had called him for, it was not to finally be nice to him.
"We have a job to do, Luigi. Bowser wants some fish."
"Well, why can't he get it from the dinner ladies?"
"Because they're out of fish - stupid!" Mario made sure to say the last word in his sentence hard, not taking any notice of his brother's hurt expression. As far as he was concerned, if he was going to be called stupid, Luigi was to be called stupid as well. Mario thought he was being fair, although he never realised that how he and his brother were both treated differently was not fair.
"So...we have to go to the fish and chip shop?" Luigi asked in a hurt voice.
"No, we're going to get fish - for free!" Mario announced, not realizing he had upset his brother.
"How?"
"We'll use the goldfish in our classroom."
"WHAT?!" Luigi looked at Mario with a horrified expression. "But we'll get into trouble!"
"I won't. I never get into trouble, because everyone likes me. You probably will-"
"Then you can do it all by yourself!" Luigi angrily turned to walk back into the lunch room.
"Wait, Luigi!" Mario grabbed his brother's right hand, stopping him from going anywhere. "If we do it quickly, the teacher will never know it's us."
"Why can't you do it on your own?"
Mario did not intend on saying he did not like touching fish and that he wanted his brother to do all of the work. "I need you. You're my brother."
"Your brother."
"Yes, my brother. So please help your brother." Mario looked at Luigi, trying to look sad and pleading, but secretly proud of himself, as he knew his brother would now help him.
"Oh, all right," Luigi sighed.
"Thanks, Luigi," grinned Mario. "C'mon! Let's go catch some fish!"
With that, Mario sprinted down the corridor, holding onto the empty plate Bowser had given him. Luigi followed, sighing glumly.
The boys soon arrived at their classroom, finding the door unlocked. They pushed it open, walked inside and set their eyes on the fish bowl on a table at the back of the class. Three goldfish were swimming around inside, taking no notice of the two boys that walked towards them.
Mario set the plate down on the table. "Okay, Luigi. Get 'em out."
"Why can't you do it?"
"I would, but since you're so willing to help, you do it."
Luigi sighed, feeling very resentful towards Mario, and placed his hand into the bowl filled with water. The fish began to swim quickly into a corner, frightened of the giant hand that had invaded their home. They tried to swim away, but Luigi grabbed one by its tail and pulled it out of the water. The tiny fish began to wriggle about madly, unable to breathe. Luigi dropped it only to bowl and watched it wriggle about, starting to die.
"You got him!" cheered Mario, grinning at Luigi.
Luigi glumly turned to Mario. "That's the fish the teacher named after you, Mario. You honestly don't care if he dies?"
Mario's grin faded and he looked down at the fish, noticing it was now wriggling less. Mario smiled and shook his head. "It's just a fish who has the same name as me. We all eat fish. I, however, am the real and cool Mario."
Luigi shook his head at how vain his brother was. He placed his hand back into the bowl, grabbed another fish - which also started to wriggle - pulled it out and placed it onto the plate next to the other fish, which was now dead.
Luigi looked in shame at the dead goldfish, then at the one which was dying. "I can't get the other one. What we're doing is terrible."
"Fine," Mario huffed in annoyance. "I'll get the last one."
Pushing Luigi to one side, Mario reached into the bowl with his right hand. The last fish - who had already forgotten that its siblings ever existed - tried to swim away from Mario's hand, but the boy grabbed it effortlessly. Mario pulled it out - then suddenly cried out and dropped the fish onto the bowl before clutching his index finger.
"What's wrong?" Luigi asked with concern and surprise, raising his eyebrows.
"It bit me!"
Luigi chuckled. "I guess not everyone thinks you're cool, Mario."
"Shut up, Luigi!" With a huff, Mario grabbed the plate of fish and stomped out of the room, followed by a grinning Luigi.
Mario and Luigi soon walked back into the lunchroom, where a fuming Bowser was waiting. Most of the children who had been sitting on Mario's table had gone outside to play, but Peach remained where she had been sitting when Mario was with her. She smiled at the boy in red and waved to him, but took no notice of the boy in green.
Bowser marched over to Mario and shot a sneer at him. "So, you got me my fish then?"
Mario offed the plate to Bowser with a grin. "Yeah, I did that easily. Luigi was no help though."
"WHAT?!" Luigi was unable to believe what his brother had said about him.
"You were no good at catching these fish, my useless brother." Mario turned to Luigi and shook his head. "I dunno why I asked you yo help."
"But you said you needed me!"
"I could have done better without you."
Luigi felt rage building up inside him. He drew his arm back, let out his anger with a yell and knocked the plate out of Mario's hand. It fell to the wooden floor and smashed to pieces. The fish went flying and landing on the floor, dead.
Mario, Luigi, Bowser and Peach all stared at the pieces of the broken plate in shock and silence. Then Bowser angrily grabbed Mario by the right arm. "YOU DROPPED MY FISH!!!"
"No I didn't!" Mario tried to pull away and pointed at Luigi. "It was him!"
"NO IT WASN'T!!! IT WAS YOU!!!" Bowser gripped tighter on Mario's arm, releasing a cry of pain from the boy. "I'M GONNA DESTROY YOU!!!"
"Get off him!" Peach shouted in terror. She jumped to her feet, ran over to the boys and pulled on Bowser's arm. "Get off him, Bowser!"
Bowser let go of Mario, then suddenly grabbed Peach with both arms, lifted her off her feet and carried her out of the building and into the school yard.
Mario and Luigi stood where they were in shock. Then, upon hearing Peach cry desperately for help, they can as fast as they could towards the door to the school yard to the aid of the young Princess.
We are now appraoching the final chapter, in which Bowser starts his role as an evil kidnapper and Peach starts her role as a damsel in distress. Will Mario and Luigi begin their roles as heroes and save her? You'll find out soon. Well, soon enough. I'm not good at writing confrontation scenes, so I need a bit of time to write it. But I will definatly write it, post it and conclude the story. Stay tuned. :)
