I was playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, when I got to thinking about Luigi's story he tells. To the people who haven't played the game, if you speak to Luigi, usually after you finish a chapter, he'll tell you what he's been doing the whole time you were trying to save Peach. Usually he lies to you and makes himself sound courageous, but really, if you talk to his friend next to him, you'll find out he usually screwed something up. I thought this would be a great fic, plus, I'm not sure if it has been done yet. I wanted to do it before anyone else.

PAPER LUIGI:

AND THE MARVELOUS COMPASS

CHAPTER ONE:

A Simple Request

"Where's my eggs!" Luigi said, grumpily, sitting up in bed. "MARIO! You where supposed to have breakfast done by now! I'm hungry!" Luigi said, walking into the kitchen.

On the stove were two over cooked eggs in a spatula. The table had the mail scattered all over it. One envelope had been torn open, a letter lay next to it. The only question was, where was Mario?

"It figures, leaving me here to starve… He knows I don't know how to work the oven! Looks like it's gonna be some good ol' fashion Nintendo Cereal System!" He pulled out a cereal box from the counter, and went to get the milk. He noticed a letter on the fridge. It read: Sorry to leave in such rush, but I have to go to Rogueport to find treasure for Peach, I'll be back by supper.

-Mario

"Treasure hunting? That's just like my idiot brother…" Luigi Trailed off when he noticed the strange letter on the table. It was addressed to him. Luigi tore it open, ripping a piece of the letter at it. It said:

Dear Mario,

We know all of your escapades in the Mushroom kingdom, you are the stuff of legend. Now it is time for our peaceful land to have a hero. You see, Princess Éclair, our young, rich, and beautiful princess has been kidnapped by a terrible evil. Now we ask you a simple request: Please save her! PLEASE! There will be a large reward. And a large feast, full of succulent seafood… Please come to the Waffle Kingdom! Please!

-Crepe

"S-sea food? Mmmmmm. I'll do it!" Luigi decided, thinking it would be easy. To bad he was wrong…

Dear Mario, don't bother looking for me. I'm at the Waffle Kingdom saving the princess. You're probably just watching television at the inn, wishing that treasure was real! HAHAHA! Your adventure will be all boring, and mine'll kick yours' butt! I just hope its not too boring for you. HEHEHE!

-Luigi

"So those weird X-dudes took the princess. They should get a taste of your hammer Mario!" A blond haired Goomba with a mining hat and tie on said. Her name was Goombella.

"Agreed, but there are too many!" Mario answered. The two were hiding behind a couple of barrels. In front of the barrels stood a whole army of X-Nauts. The two had heard the whole conversation between the group about Princess Peach. "Maybe a surprise atta…" Mario stopped when he saw the Parratroopa.

"Parratroopa mail here! Hey I could have sworn Mario was seen around here!" The Parratroopa said.

"Boss! That mailman just said "Mario" Isn't that the guy who could be a threat?" an X-Naut asked.

"Yeah, I think so, lets follow the Koopa!" The leader said. He was big and fat. He was wearing purple, and had a mask over his face, which looked like it had horns.

"OH! THERE YOU ARE MARIO! REMEMBER ME FROM THIS MORNING!" the Koopa boomed.

"He's behind the barrel! Attack!" The boss ordered.

20 seconds later…

Mario and Goombella stood there in disbelief. The army had jumped them, they were sure it was over, yet they just walked out of the swarm of X-Nauts, and now they were beating each other up.

"According to the Tattle Log, the X-Nauts…aren't…too…bright…" Goombella pointed out the obvious. Mario started to rip open the letter the Paratroopa had given him. It was from Luigi. After reading it, Mario smiled. "What?" Goombella asked.

"My little brother is going solo to save a princess. He's all grown up now…"

I had a few connections to other things in this chapter:

Nintendo Cereal System: a cereal that Nintendo made waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy back. In the ancient times. A time that man can't remember…1988:O

"Succulent Seafood": Line from Super Mario Sunshine

My first Idea was not a fan fiction. I actually imagined it as a video game sequel to Thousand Year Door. I had hopes that that's what Nintendo would make for the next Paper Mario game in the franchise. But instead they decided to make a non- RPG Paper Mario game. Its called "Super Paper Mario" I'm a little pissed they ditched the RPG element of the game. Thousand year door is my all-time favorite game, and they're ruining it. Tell me what you think about this in the review.
