Super Mario Bros.

It was the 1980s in Brooklyn, New York. Two somewhat identical brothers were off to work. One was fat and short while the other was slim and tall. Both had blue eyes, brown furry hair, black thick mustaches, white gloves, brown shoes, and blue overalls. They also had shirts and caps, except one had them red and the other one had them green. They were Mario and Luigi, the Mario Bros.
Ever since they could remember the brothers were orphans. From what Mario and Luigi heard, they were found inside the sewers, wearing nothing but dirty diapers and their lucky caps. People thought they were Italian, and so did they, so both had accents. When the two became adults, it was a hard finding a job. They were cashiers, janitors, delivery men, fishermen, referees, security guards, and many other occupations. But one way or another, their jobs ended quickly, and left them back on the streets. Currently, they were construction workers, and so far they haven't had any problems.
"YOUR LATE!" shouted their foreman, Spike "where have you two bozos been?" "Uh….." stuttered Luigi "s-sleeping?" Spike grimaced at the two and said "JUST GET BACK TO WORK!" Mario and Luigi ran to their places and worked on the new building that was still under construction. The brothers didn't exactly like foreman Spike, not just because of his attitude, but his appearance also. He looks familiar, yet they couldn't place who he looked like.
And for hours they worked, hammering nails, moving metal, stacking barrels, it was all long and tiresome. Then it was lunch break. Mario and Luigi sat next to each other, opening their lunchboxes and taking out their sandwiches at the same time. "So Mario" Luigi said, pausing by biting on his sandwich "how are things with your new girlfriend?" "Pauline and I are in a steady relationship" Mario answered "she's coming here after work, so I may not be walking home with you tonight." Luigi sighed "okay, I'll remember that."
Just then, a construction worker ran up to them. "Hey guys!" he yelled "come and hear this!" Curious, the Mario Brothers followed him to the construction site's only radio, where other works were listening to something very interesting.
"…Donkey Kong has not yet to be found" said the voice of a newsman. "If you see this gorilla, do not capture him up close and instead call for help immediately. In other news…" Everyone didn't listen as they talked to each other of this event. "I saw that monkey from the zoo" said one worker "he's huge! I even saw it pick up a heavy barrel and tossed it like it was nothing!" "I heard that it was named Donkey Kong because its really stupid!" said another worker. "I think you guys SHOULD GET BACK TO WORK!" yelled Spike, surprising everyone "BREAKS OVER! MOVE IT MOVE IT MOVE IT!"
And so, everyone worked, worked, worked. Then it was night-time, and everyone left wearily home so they can work another day. At the entrance and exit of the construction site was a lady, wearing pink clothing and had indigo eyes, blondish brown hair, and red smiling lips. "Pauline!" shouted Mario, leaving Luigi's side and up close to his girlfriend. "So do you want to go to supper or something?" asked the still smiling Pauline. "Well……..I could grab a bite" said Mario, his stomach growling. "Well, alright then" Pauline giggled "you still want me to pay for it?" Mario eyes widen "err…" "Mario!" Luigi shouted "can I talk to you for a minute?" Mario winked at Pauline, then walked up his brother "sure, what's wrong?" Luigi inhaled some air and said "have you noticed anything strange around here?"
Mario's face turned to confusion "what do you mean?" he asked. "Well, today I swear one of the wrenches was walking on two feet! And it had eyes!" Luigi whispered, trying not get any attention. Mario stood there, then laughed out loud! "what's so funny?" asked Luigi, slightly mad at Mario's reaction. "Oh poor Luigi" Mario said patting Luigi's shoulder "the heat made you insane!" Luigi sighed and grumbled "I'll see you later at home." Mario felt a bit bad, but shook it off. "Well, lets go Pauline" Mario said, but when he turned around she wasn't there "….Pauline?"
Suddenly, there was a scream, and everyone turned to see Pauline, held by a giant ape! "Its Donkey Kong!" screamed a construction worker, frighten by the size of the monkey. Donkey Kong turned to the unfinished building and climbed up the ladders, breaking them on accident due to his weight. When he was at the fourth floor, he hopped around, making the platforms below him actually bend diagonally! With the destruction he already caused, DK laughed loudly.
