Cherry and her friends soon walked along to head back home after a big and long adventure of something they didn't even expect, but they were glad to have experienced it when they had the chance.

"Well, guys, I had no idea going on an adventure to help plumbers would be so interesting." Cherry said to the others.

"Well, clearly you didn't realize which plumbers we'd be adventuring with," said Lionel. "But let's get home. I got me a serious hankering for some pasta!"

"You too, huh?" Thor replied. "I say we do it then."

"Let's go then." Atticus agreed.

And so, they had all of their stuff ready and headed back home while Mario and Luigi got settled back into their home in Brooklyn as things were going to be different for them from now on as The Super Mario Brothers Plumbers.

"ACE Plumbers!" Lionel pointed out as they headed back to Duckburg.

"Farewell, Mario and Luigi, until we meet again." Thor said as they took off.

The group nodded as they made it back home after a new adventure together, but with plenty more to come afterwards.

"Home again, home again." Mo sighed as they came back to Donald's neighborhood.

"Hopefully things weren't too hectic while we were away." Atticus stated.

"Like that would happen." Patch replied.

Thor cleared his throat a little bit.

"I'm not tempting fate, I'm just saying." Patch shrugged in defense.

"Just making sure..." Thor's eyes darted around. "You guys have a bad habit of doing that sometimes."

Atticus and Patch shared a look with each other and simply shrugged at each other as they went along before they made it over to the Duck residence.

"We're back!" Lionel called as they came inside. "So, how were things while we were out?"

"Oh, you know..." Webby replied.

"The usual." Huey, Dewey, and Louie added innocently.

"...We missed something interesting, didn't we?" Cherry asked suspiciously.

"What?! Psh! Naaaah..." Webby shrugged as she rolled her eyes. "What gave ya that idea?"

"Guys?" Cherry asked.

"All right, we might've done a little something crazy," Huey replied as he shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing big though... Just meeting some new people... Maybe having a video game adventure."

"You three always get into mischief," Cherry rolled her eyes playfully. "You're like the three little brothers I never longed for."

"Ah, you know you missed us." Louie smirked.

"Sure," Cherry replied. "Like a bad rash."

Louie rolled his eyes.

"Well, I'm gonna get settled," Cherry said as she went straight to her room to take a nap. "See ya later."

"Were they at least tolerable?" Atticus asked Donald.

"As tolerable as possible, I guess," Donald shrugged. "Boys will be boys after all."

"If you say so." Lionel replied as he went off to his room, carrying the mushroom he'd gotten from the Pit of No Return.

"Whatcha doin'?" Thor asked as he began to follow Lionel.

"I dunno, just reflecting, probably gonna sit on my bed, and look up at the ceiling," Lionel shrugged. "Normal college kid stuff."

"Yeah..." Thor said softly as he shuffled his foot. "I had a great time though. I'm glad I got to share this adventure with you guys."

"I'm glad too." Lionel replied, patting him on the shoulder.

Thor smiled before he stared off into the distance. "I'm still trying to figure out what to do with myself honestly," he then said with a small sigh. "I definitely don't wanna be Head of the Witch's Council like Uncle Drell... That job looks like a real pain in the butt."

"You could get into cooking," Lionel replied. "You like that, right? Plenty of folks do it for a living."

"Heh, yeah," Thor blushed bashfully. "I guess I am a pretty good cook... Maybe I'll even end up on the cover of this some day." he then added, taking out a magazine from a place called Marzipan City that had a blue man known as Chef Mung Daal who was receiving another award for his best catering.

"I can see that happening." Lionel tussled his hair.

Thor chuckled and beamed before he soon gave Lionel a tight hug. "Mm... Come here you~" he then gushed a bit.

Lionel blushed as Thor hugged him, patting his back.

"Who knows what else lies out there?" Thor smiled as he looked out the window with Lionel. "So many new adventures and experiences... We can explore them together."

"I'd like that." Lionel nodded.

"Me too, buddy," Thor smiled warmly as they looked at the moon together. "Me too."

"Glad to know we're on the same page." Lionel beamed as this adventure came to a close.

"Mm-hmm~" Thor beamed. "Well, I'm gonna go get something to eat and maybe for the rest of us. You want anything special tonight since we're back home?" he then offered.

"Pasta for sure." Lionel replied.

"Then pasta it is!" Thor beamed as he soon left the room and took off straight into the kitchen to cook some food up for all of them. "May the pasta be with you!"

Lionel waved to Thor as he put the mushroom on his shelf. "Thanks, buddy."

"No problem." Thor smiled.

Just like Mario and Luigi, things were going to look up from here on out, especially with the help of their newer friends. Only time would tell if they would meet each other again in the near future though, but they just hoped they would be able to live happily ever after with Peach and Daisy as things wrapped up nicely like they always do.

The End

...And until next time, readers...

DO THE MARIO!
