Chapter 2: Mushroom Land Madness
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"
Mario's alarm clock went off. "Ooooohhh! My a-head!" said Mario, as he slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He then went into the bathroom and took his a nice long, hot shower. Waking up first does have its advantages he thought to himself as he finished up. There isn't much hot water left for Luigi. After drying off and getting dressed, he slowly got up and climbed up the bunk-bed ladder to his brother's bed. "Luigi! Wake up, Luigi! Hurry up, or we're gonna be late for work again!"
"Give me five more a-minutes, Mario." said Luigi, not moving an inch. "Just to get myself more awake."
"Oh no! Not this time, Luigi! Last time I let you sleep, you didn't a-budge for an entire hour before I could-a drag you out of bed!" said Mario. He climbed down the ladder and yelled, "Get up, NOW!"
"Ok, ok!" said Luigi. "I'll get up." Slowly but surely Luigi got up and climbed down. He quietly lumbered into the bathroom and started his shower. "AAAAAaaahhh!! MARIO!!!!"
Mario snickered as he heard Luigi scream. Guess I was right! Luigi then stormed to the breakfast table and said, "Mario, how many times do I have to-a say this! LEAVE ME SOME HOT WATER!!!"
"I'm a-sorry, Luigi." said Mario, trying to contain his laughter. "But since I got-a up first, I get most of the hot water!"
Luigi was not appeased. "You mean you TAKE all of the hot water! If you a-didn't shower for twenty minutes I'd still get some!"
They continued to argue for a couple minutes until Mario looked down at his watch. "Momma Mia! Hurry up and finish your-a cereal, Luigi! We're gonna be late!!"
********************************************************
"Sorry we're a-late, Princess!" huffed Mario as he finished sprinting.
"Mario, this is the 5th time this month! You guys need to wake up earlier!" scolded Peach. "But I can't stay angry at you, my little gummi bear!"
Oh brother! Here we go again! thought Luigi as he stood there, half asleep.
After a couple of minutes of lovie dovie talk, Peach gave them their first job. "We have a problem with the shower drain upstairs. You guys should take a look at that first."
"Okie dokie, Princess!" said Mario. "Come on, Luigi. Let's a-go!"
********************************************************
"Now let's a-see here." said Mario, looking at the busted drain. "It seem to be clogged with rust!"
"Let a-me see!" said Luigi anxiously.
However, Mario shook his head. "This is a tough one, Luigi! You better leave this-a to the professional!"
"What makes you think-a you can do it but I can't!?!" yelled Luigi forcefully. "I'm as good as you are Mario, if not better!"
"Ha! You wish!" mocked Mario. "When was the last-a time you beat Bowser?"
Luigi thought for a couple of seconds. "Er… um… Well, that's only because you always go on all the adventures alone!" Luigi turn his back to Mario. "Let's a-see. There was the time Smithy attacked. You told me it was too dangerous and left me out of the entire adventure! Then there was the time Bowser captured the Princess's castle. You told me you were going there for cake!" Luigi turned around again. "And then there was the time when…"
Suddenly, Luigi noticed he was alone. "Mario? MAR-IO?!?" Guess he couldn't stand me being right! thought Luigi. He then decided to take a look at the rusted drain and bent over into the bathtub. He came face to face with a large black hole. Suddenly, five huge fingers came out of the hole and grabbed Luigi. "Momma Miiiiiiiaaaaaaaa!!" was all he managed to scream before they pulled him into the abyss. The black hole then closed up moments before Peach came into the bathroom. "Luigi?!? Mario?!?" Guess I'm hearing things. she thought, puzzled. I could have sworn I heard something up here. She left the room in order to find where the two plumbers had gone.
