Chapter 2: ROTTEN BANANAS

"LUIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!"

My brother came into my room laughing so hard he could barely breathe.

"What was that for!" I shouted.

"Haha! I got you Mario," laughed Luigi between giggles.

The pest had put Koopa Kreme, this frothy dessert stuff we eat here in Nintendopolis, right in my slippers.

"Daisy, I got him!" he shouted out of my room to his little friend, "come and see!"

Daisy walked in sporting a kiddy, yellow, mini skirt came in, also laughing. Those kids were best friends and inseparable.

"Why you little..." I was about to pounce on that dirty five-year-old, but then Mama walked past the room, giving me that motherly "evil eye."

I smiled innocently even though she knew that I was about to kill Luigi.

"C'mon, Weegie," said Daisy, calling him that stupid nickname she had given him, "lets go outside!"

I threw a pillow at Luigi as he ran out the door. I missed.

He turned around and said, "Mario, if you do 'gain I'm tellin' Mama...owww!" he screeched as I hit him bulls-eye in the nose.

He laughed anyway and ran behind Daisy out of my room.

Is it a rule that an innocent eleven-year-old has to have the most annoying little brother in the world? If I could I'd a wished him away a long time ago. But, I'd never tell Mama that, 'cause she is always telling me how blessed we are to have Luigi in our family and other junk like that.

You have no idea how hard it is to like Luigi. He is always in my business and he never leaves me alone. You'd think I could get normal kid brother. But no, I got Luigi.

It got really bad after school that day. I went to pick up Luigi from his kindergarten class and we were walking home. Just then Wario, came around the corner. He's picked on me ever since school started and he will never stop, I guarantee it.

"Hey spaz," he taunted, "you forgot to give me that money you owe me."

"What are you talking about," I exclaimed, "I don't owe you anything, Wario!"

"You do now."

He grabbed me by the overalls and demanded I gave him some Koopa Kash.

"Don't give it to him, Mario!" yelled Luigi, "remember what you said you could do to him?"

By this time a crowd had gathered around us as Wario looked at him, puzzled. He dropped me.

"What did he say about me?" asked Wario, between clenched jaws.

I tried to give Luigi that "look" as if to say "SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT!!! SHUT YOUR STUPID MOUTH!!!" But, it was to no avail.

"Mario," said that he's not afraid of you and he could kick your hairy butt any day of the week!!!"

An oooohhh went through the crowd.

"Oh did he," said Wario, slowly walking toward me, "why don't we see if that's true."

"No, Wario, it's not what it seems," I stuttered, "he doesn't have the facts straight. C'mon he's just a little kid."

"Oh yeaaaahh," Wario said, "he's just a little kid... but you... you aren't."

Wario pointed at nearby trashcan.

I was still picking the little bits of Kafeteria food that everyone had thrown away, out of my hair between yelling at Luigi.

"I told you never to talk about, Luigi!" I yelled, "now, thanks to you and your fat mouth I got thrashed in the trash!"

"Well you said..."

"I don't care what I said, Luigi!"

"I'm sorry," he said between the classic lip quiver and puppy dog stare.

Aww man! Why does my brother have to be so dang cute.

I forced a smile. "It's okay, Luie."

I wrapped my arm around his neck as we finished the walk home.

"By the way... you gotta rotten banana in your overalls."

I smiled.



"It's okay Luie... It's okay, Luie... It's okay, Luie."

Bowser couldn't stop rewinding the tape over and over again.

"That sounds SOOO sappy, doesn't it, Daddy," said Bowser to his father, the devious Koopastulous III.

"Yes, son, it is," Koopastulous answered, "we'll get them. PARATROOPA!"

A flying turtlish creature entered the room.

"Excellent videos... but we need more, Paratroopa, more. I want that Mushroom!"

Paratroopa muttered an indiscernible sentence in an odd tongue.

"Shmala-pop-noot-tlieek-ten-bop-pop-shriio!!!" Koopastulous shot back in the same language.

The creature flew away.

"When are we gonna get them, Daddy?" inquired Bowser.

"Soon, child, soon..."
