Luigi's Mansion
Chapter 1: "The Prize
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling"
Luigi groggily rolled over and pressed the off button on his alarm clock. He pulled himself out of bed and walked slowly over to his dresser. "Mario must have left without me again." Luigi said, noticing that Mario's hat was missing from the top of the dresser. He pulled on his green cap and went to go make himself some breakfast.
Luigi noticed that it was oddly quiet this morning. He didn't hear Parakarry's usual cry of "Mail call!" All he could hear was the rustling of the dead leaves, stirred by the wind. It was late October in the Mushroom kingdom. Everyone was getting ready for Princess Peach's big Halloween party at her castle. Mario was going to be a vampire, but Luigi didn't know what he wanted to be yet.
As Luigi sat down at the kitchen table to eat his pancakes. He heard the screech of his mailbox closing. He also thought he heard someone laughing in a mischievous way, but he figured it was just the wind winding through the bare branches of the trees.
He set down his fork and walked out to the mailbox. It was very windy out. To Luigi, it looked like it was raining leaves. Holding onto his hat, Luigi opened the mailbox.
A single envelope, addressed with light green ink, lay in the mailbox. "That's odd." Luigi said to himself. "There's usually more mail then this. I wonder who it's from?" The wind was getting pretty strong by now, so Luigi grabbed the letter and took it back inside the house.
After finishing his breakfast, Luigi took a closer look at this envelope.
To Mr. Luigi Mario. Toad town, Mushroom kingdom
"Wow! A letter for me!" said Luigi. "It looks kinda fancy. Maybe it's from Daisy!" Luigi tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter. The paper smelled kind of musty. And the writing seemed old fashioned, but Luigi read it as follows:
Dear Mr. Luigi
We are pleased to inform you that you are the grand
Prize winner of our "Welcome to your mansion"
sweepstakes. You must come to claim your prize
before midnight, tonight. You may bring one person
with you. The map on the back of this letter will
lead you to your new estate. We hope you enjoy your
new home. Once you arrive, you will never want
to leave.
"WOW!!" Luigi gasped. He couldn't believe his luck! He had never heard about that contest or entered it, yet he had just won a mansion! He rushed to the phone and dialed Mario's cell phone number.
Ring. Ring. "Hello. Mario bros. plumbing service. Mario speaking."
"Hey, Mario! It's-a-me! Luigi!" Luigi said. "You'll never believe what happened!"
"What?"
"I just one a great, big, mansion!"
"Really? That's great, little brother! How come you never told me you entered a contest to win a mansion?"
"That's the strange part. I never even entered this contest. I just found it in our mailbox."
"Hmm…" Mario pondered. "Well, do you have directions to this mansion? I can meet you there later. I'm going to be very busy today. Peach's sink broke again and she called me to fix it."
"Sure, Mario! I'll draw you up a copy of the map. I'll meet you there later." said Luigi.
"Okey-dokey! Bye!" Mario hung up.
Luigi sat down on his bed. He was thinking of the wonderful luxuries he would have in his mansion. Little did he know that this would be a night he would remember for the rest of his life.
