KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
--Luigi opened the door and found Toadette waiting at the steps.
Luigi: "Whoa Toadette, I haven't seen you in awhile. Where have you been for the past five months?"
Toadette: "Actually I've been trying to find out how I'm related to Toad."
Luigi: "You're related to Toad? I thought you were his girlfriend?"
Toadette: "Actually, Toad is my uncle's brother's son's best friend's roommate in college."
Luigi: "..."
Toadette: "It means Toad and I are just friends."
Luigi: "..."
Toadette: "Forget it. Anyway, I need to see Mario."
Luigi: "How come?"
Toadette: "A mob catapulted Toad into Ludwig's airship. I can't explain it in it's entirety I just need Mario to save him now!"
Luigi: "You need Mario to do that. Why not me? Am I not good enough to save your precious Toad?"
Toadette: "Well of course you are. It's just that Mario is...is um..."
--Luigi closed the door in the middle of her sentence and went into the bedroom where Mario was looking at a cookbook (his favorite hobby).
Luigi: "Mario, Toad is in danger."
Mario: "We have to save him! Where is he located?"
Luigi: "Toadette said he's in one of the airships owned by the Koopa Kids."
Mario: "You know what we have to do."
--Luigi and Mario walked over to a wall with two keyholes. They both took out keys with their initials on it and simultaneously fit the keys and turned the locks. The wall slid away and in its place was a wide array of powerups stocked over the years by the Mario brothers.
Luigi: "I'm going to take the P-wing since I can start flying from anywhere. How about you?"
Mario: "Hmm, I think I'll take the cape. It's a little bit more maneuverable."
Voice: "What about me?"
Luigi: "Who said that?"
Mario: "Oh no."
--A piece of machinery struggled to climb its way out of a pile of dirty clothes. It was FLUDD, the contraption created by Prof. E. Gadd to aid Mario in his quest for the Shines a while back.
FLUDD: "Can't I be used for air travel?"
Mario: "Yes you can, but not today."
FLUDD: "Please bring me along! You promised that you'd include me another adventure. You promised! YOU PROMISED!"
Mario: "Alright already! I'll bring you along, just quit begging."
FLUDD: "Yay!"
Luigi: "Mario, I didn't know you still had FLUDD. I thought you said you wanted to throw him away?"
Mario: "I did, but as I was throwing him out he looked at me with these big, puppy dog eyes."
Luigi: "FLUDD doesn't have eyes."
Mario: "Maybe that was something else. Anyway, FLUDD does the dishes around here. And in exchange I'm supposed to bring him along on another adventure."
Luigi: "Well then, I guess we better get going.
--The Mario Bros. ran out of the house. Luigi flew away but Mario leaped and fell flat on his face.
FLUDD: "My water tank is empty."
