Luigi got home and slammed the door behind, polterpup ran around his feet yipping and yapping excitedly. "Hey bud." He said as he walked through the house to the kitchen. He made some cocoa and sat in his chair, polterpup hopped up into his lap wagging happily. Luigi stroked his ghostly head as he sipped his cocoa, he couldn't get what mario said to him our of his head though, to a point he couldnt help but feel loke mario was right, he wasn't putting in enough effort.

Suddenly a knock came to his door, he turned to the door curiously, polter pups ears were perked at this. "Come in!" He called, the door opened and Daisy walked in wearing a fluffy yellow coat. Despite this she was still shivering, "Daisy!" Luigi said in surprise, "Whats up? Polterpup Hopped down, running over to sniff the princess, his tail wagging.

"I-I c-came to c-check on you", she stuttered out, shivering and teeth chattering.

Luigi stood and got a blanket, here, put this on, he covered her in the thick blanket, and ushered her to the couch. He went to the kitchen and made more cocoa and handed it to her. "Careful it's hot."

She said nothing as she chugged it, wincing in pain, after five second of jugging she took her lips away from the cup. "Ouch…"

"I told you!" He exclaimed, surprised, "are you okay?"

She sighed in satisfaction, "my throat has third degree burns, but I needed that."

"Well… whatever makes you feel better I guess…" He noticed she wasn't shivering anymore so it did its job. Feel better?

"Much." She said simply. She turned to polterpup, he had gotten up on the couxh and had begun sniffing her, "well hello there." He looked up and met her gaze.

"Bork!" He said cheerfully.

She brought a hand to him cautiously, biting her lip. Luigi noticed, "it's okay, your hand won't go through unless he wants it to." Polterpup nuzzled his head into her hand. "Aw, you're so cute!" She cooed. "Okay, but why?" He sat her down in a chair and wrapped a blanket around her and gave her some cocoa.

"Thanks."

"No problem, so did you feel the need to check on me?"

She sipped the cocoa and sighed, "that's good- I came because mario said some nasty stuff to you, I thought you could use an ear to talk to."

Luigi smiled at that, "thanks", he walked off to the kitchen, a minute later coming back and sitting on the couch. "Well this has been one hell of a night Daisy."

"Yeah, marios gone crazy."

Luigi sighed, "no he hasn't, he might be right, maybe I'm not taking this all as seriously as I should".

"Seriously? You really feel bad?"

"Yeah, I do." He said looking into his cocoa with a frown

Mario worked his nuts off in the kitchen making pizzas, he couldn't get what Luigi had said to him out of his head. He couldn't get the guilt of how he talked to him out either. Finally he couldn't take it anymore. He slammed down the pizza and walked out to the bathroom and looked at his reflection. "Mamamia, I've really changed a lot." Suddenly he saw a giant meatball grinning at him, he gasped, "no. NOOOOOOO!" He screamed as he punched the mirror shattering it to pieces. "I have to find Luigi." He walked out of the bathroom ignoring his bloody hand and out of the pizzaria towards home

"You shouldn't feel bad Luigi, he's being a jerk."

"No Daisy, he's right. This order is a turning point for us. I never should have let Todd go home."

"Luigi, you did the right thing."

"I should have stayed and helped then!" He snapped angrily.

"I guess I could have helped too, '' Daisy said sheepishly. "I think all of us are in the wrong here."

"We need to apologize", he said as he stood to his feet, Daisy followed as they walked to the door, he opened it only to find Mario standing there in his coat. "Mario!" He exclaimed in surprise.

"Uh, hey bro, I need to talk to you, it's important." Mario said, rubbing the back of his head uncomfortably.

"Me too, just as important." Luigi said.

"Come in and sit down, Mario, we all need to talk." Daisy said from behind mario.

Mario looked at her oddly, "am I interrupting something?"

"No, come on in , she's right, let's talk."

Mario came in and took off his coat.

Daisy stared at him as though he were a weirdo, "Mario, you look like-"

"An aqua team hunger force character I know." He snapped agitated as he walked over and sat on the couch. "Luigi, I'm sorry about what I said to you, you too Daisy, you're right, I have changed and it's not for the better."

"I'm sorry too bro, I haven't been taking this pizzeria as seriously as I should have."

The two hugged it out, "so uh, are you gonna look like that forever now?" Luigi asked.

"Well hell, I hope not!" Mario said dramatically, patting the giant bald spot on his head sadly.

"Hey, i've got an idea, why don't we stop worrying about the bald spot and get those pizzas done. Are they done? I don't even know." Luigi said, looking at him for answers.

"No, I went into the bathroom and forgot them, and came straight here." He said with a sigh.

Luigi smiled and put his hat on Mario's head to cover his bald spot, Luigi's hair was lush and full. Kind of, he at least had a full head of hair. "Well what are we waiting for, let's finish them!" He said with a smile.

Mario smiled, "now you're thinking like a Segale little bro!" Mario hopped up to his feet,"let's go!"

"You two are adorable sometimes", Daisy said, unable not to smile at them.

"Do you wanna help Dais?" Mario asked.

"Hell no! I'm tired! Can I sleep on your guy's couch? It's surprisingly cozy", she asked with a sheepish smile.

"Sure, why not it's Christmas eve", Mario said, the Mario brothers walked out of the house locking it up before heading back to the pizzeria.

Mario and Luigi stood at the entrance to the restaurant in shock, Mario was making noise a mix between a squeak and a grunt, with a hint of gasping, he suddenly fell to his knees and started screaming at the top of his lungs, he began punching the floorboards within a few punches they cracked, and before long he had a hole in the floorboards.

"Mario calm down!" Luigi said, "you're making it worse!"

"WORSE?! HOW CAN IT BE WORSE?! THE GRINCH STOLE EVERYTHING!" He ran into the kitchen and screamed again, "HE TOOK THE PIZZAS TOO!"

"Seriously? What an asshole!" Luigi said, starting to get mad himself.

"wait-" Luigi ran into the kitchen and opened a trap door to the basement and ran down. "NOOOOOOOO!"

"WHAT LUIGI WHAT ELSE DID HE TAKE?!"

"HE TOOK MY TOENAIL COLLECTION!"

"Wait what the fuck?" Luigi, that's a health code violation he did us a favor there. Why do you even have one of those?"

"THE MEMORIES MARIO, IT'S VERY NOSTALGIC."

"Oh mamafuckinmia", Mario said with a sigh as he went into the bathroom and screamed, "REALLY?! REALLY?!"

"WHAT NOW?"

"HE DREW PENISES ON THE WALLS OF OUR BATHROOMS!"

"OH COME ON! WHAT IS HE, THIRTEEN?!"

Mario stormed out and back intl the kitchen, "okay Luigi, we are gonna go up that mountain and kick his ass and get all that shit back!" Mario said red-faced, veins popping from his neck and head.

"And my toenail collection."

"Um, yeah sure but bro that needs to stay home, we can get shut down for that bro…."

"Aw, sad panda…" Luigi said disappointed.

"Let's go kick this furries ass." Mario said, cracking his knuckles.

The trek up the mountain was hard and longer than Mario would have liked, especially since he was only in an undershirt and shorts, his bald spot didn't help either.

They got to the top and Mario looked like a supervillain, he had icicles going down his lips making him look like a saber tooth tiger, and his eyebrows were long and pointy from the frost that had accumulated on them. He pointed at the grinch who they had found at the top near an edge, trying to push the sled over the edge.

"Stop right there!" Mario shouted at him.

The grinch stopped and turned around and laughed, "oh no, not the aqua teen hunger force!"

"At least I'm not a furry!"

HE glared at him and took out his gun and aimed it at them but Mario broke one of the icicles and threw it at him, knocking the gun from his hand, the two of them raced towards him.

"YOU MOTHER FUCKER, YOU DREW PENISES ON THE BATHROOM WALLS!" Mario shouted.

"And stole my toenail collection!"

Grinch took out a fire flower and began shooting fireballs at them, the two dodged them and Mario leaped at him, he smiled as he decked him in the jaw a loud crack rang out as he fell off the mountain.

"YAHOO! I STILL GOT IT!" He yelled, dry humping the air.

Suddenly a loud noise rang out and he looked behind him to see the Grinch. He was in the green goblin's arms bridal style. He smiled at Mario as blood gushed from his mouth, likely his jaw was broken.

"Oh, COME ON!"Mario said angrily.

"Merry Christmas Mario brothers!" The green goblin said as he threw bombs at him, Mario caught them and threw them back at the Goblin, trying to save the presents. He swiftly moved out of the way and threw two more but this time aiming for the ground he blew the cliff apart and Mario leaped off the sley and watched it fall, "NO!"

Suddenly webbing was shot onto the sley, and the cliff, spiderman appeared and he was saving the presents. "I got it, I got it!"

"BITCH PLEASE!" The green goblin yelled as he tossed the Grinch onto the cliff and went after spiderman, the Grinch took out a syringe and stabbed himself in the stomach with it injecting himself with its contents, he quickly began growing and became a monstrosity of his former self, ten feet tall and all muscle, he was a behemoth and his jaw was fixed.

"Luigi, distract him!" Mario said as he leaped off the mountain.

"Wait, what? He froze in fear as he looked back at the monster in front of him, he gulped and raced towards it, the Grinch slammed his fists into the ground trying to crush him but Luigi jumped out of the way and stomped on one of his toes, it literally did nothing. The Grinch went to grab at him but missed as Luigi was more agile than him, he leaped up onto his shoulder and then to his head stomping on it and hurting him, however, the Grinch thrashed about and Luigi lost his footing and fell to the ground he tried catching himself but slipped. The Grinch grabbed him and slammed him into the ground, breaking his back and tossed him off the cliff.

Mario had gotten his cape and flew him back up. And then battled the Grinch spiderman tossed Mario a syringe and Mario stabbed the Grinch with it and he went back to his normal self and Mario kicked him off the cliff. The green goblin got away.

"Spiderman you did it! You saved the presents-"

"Yeah", he pulled the sley back up but the only thing inside was Luigi.

"Mario….my….back…."

"God damn it spiderman you lost the pizzas!

"Uh… yeah, lost em…''

Mario then noticed his gut was sticking out of his costume like a pregnant lady. "Wait…. Did you EAT THE PIZZAS?!"

"Um, bye!" He then flew off.

"DAMN YOU SPIDERMAAAAN!"

"Mariiiooo, my baaaack…"

"Oh right you broke your back again", he took a one-up mushroom and fed it to him and he was all better.

The sun began rising over the mountains, Luigi frowned. "Mario, what do we do?"

"Oh right, the pizzas, he sighed, we gotta tell Peach the truth."

"So you see Peach, we really can't give you your pizzas because of that. Here, sorry about the trouble. And uh, don't tell anyone about this either, bad for business, ya know." He noticed Toadsworth making a phone call and sighed, of course, HE would tell people.

Peach put a finger to her chin, "hm, well that's really a shame, I had a huge pizza party planned and everything. Do you think you could do it in my kitchen? There's a little more room and plenty of supplies."

"Sure I guess but I dont think itll make a difference,'' he said.

"Just come take a look and decide for yourself." The three of them walked into her kitchen and the Mario brother's jaws dropped.

The kitchen was like a middle-class house, minus the rooms but with all the rooms in the room.

"Impressed?" Peach asked, amused at their faces.

"Yeah um…. It's been a while since I came in here is all…."

"Do you think this will work?"

"It sure will princess!" Luigi said happily.

"Wonderful! My cooks are at your disposal Mario brothers. Chef Toadalini, did you hear me?"

"I did not princess please repeat it."

"You'll be under mario's control for the night."

"Oh, course princess."

"Lovely she said, smiling before leaving the room."

"So Mario, what will we be making?"

"Pizza."

"I'm afraid that's out of my realm of expertise."

"Cough cough *loser!*" Mario said.

"Excuse me?" The chef asked, annoyed.

"Oh, nothing, I coughed is all."

"Uh-huh. Why don't you show us how to make a pizza then?"

"Gladly, Luigi, you take one half of the kitchen, I'll take the other."

"Gotcha!" Luigi went to one side of the kitchen and looked around, all the toads were with Mario. He sighed. "Of course, they are."

Within a few hours all the pizzas were done.

"Thanks for your help guys now help me get these pizzas out to the floor."

The toads did so and Luigi walked over to Mario, his hat off so he could wipe the sweat off his face.

"What are you all sweaty for?"

" Had to make all my pizzas myself!" He shouted.

"Well I had to make pizzas while dressed like middle aged white trash!"

"Good point."

Toadette suddenly came up to "Mario MARIO HI I BROUGHT YOU AN EXTRA PAIR OF CLOTHES!" She screamed catching everyone's attention.

Mario smiled, "Toadette you're so much better than Toad!" He said and hugged her.

"THANK YOU!" She screamed in his ear. He flinched and went to the kitchen to change. Luigi and Toadette heard the cooks yelling and screaming at him to not change in the kitchen in front of them but no fucks were given.

He came out, in his regular clothes, he closed the door with them all complaining still. "I feel much better!" He said, he looked down at Toadette, "why are you even here?"

"I WORK FULL TIME HERE, AND PART TIME AT THE PIZZERIA!"

"oh, you know how to hustle then."

"THE HUSTLE IS REAL FOR US TOADS!" She said with a nod and they all walked off to the party. All the guards were there, along with Daisy, Rosalina, and even Bowser came with all his minions.

"Ugh seriously, he's here?!" Mario complained.

"Don't you remember the last time he wasn't invited to something?" Luigi asked, concerned.

Mario rolled his eyes, "ugh, you mean the time he tp'd the entire kingdom?"

"Actually, I do it because he's misunderstood."

Luigi screamed like a woman and hid between marios legs like a dog. Mario jumped and his eyes nearly popped out.

"Mamamia Peach, you nearly gave me a heart attack."

She giggled, "sorry green mario."

Luigi glared at her in anger but said nothing.

"BRAH!" Bowser yelled as he walked over to him.

"Ugh seriously?" Mario said, annoyed , putting a hand to his head in frustration.

"BRAH BRAH BRAH BRAH, BRAH BRAH HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!"

"Haha, yeah, you too", Mario said with a forced smile, Bowser smacked him on the back making him grunt as he walked off, his son junior was grabbing deviled eggs and throwing them at people laughing as he did so.

Bowser laughed, "BRAH BRAH BRAH!"He stated proudly.

Mario rolled his eyes and looked at princess Peach, annoyed.

She smiled sheepishly at him, he then saw Todd and his family walk in, "excuse me guys, I've got business to attend to." Mario pushed past everyone towards him, Todd soon saw him and looked nervous.

"Mario, look i know you're mad but-"

"Todd, shut up okay", he went quiet at this, "i uh, I want to apologize to you."

"What?"

Mario sighed, "you're my best worker, and you deserve to be treated better. The pizzeria wouldn't be where it is without you."

Tod blinked surprised, his wife hugged his arm tightly smiling at Mario and back up at her husband lovingly. "Thank you Mario, um-"

"No, thank you Todd, you left a good job to work for us. How much did you make as a captain?"

"Thirty five coins an hour."

"DAAMN! I was gonna pay you the same as your old job but forget that! I'm upping your pay to twenty an hour!"

Todd stared at him slack jawed, his wife giggled a little in excitement, "Mario, you really are super!" She said joyfully.

"Um, thank you sir…. Are you feeling okay?"

Mario took his hat off, "I'm going fucking bald, no I'm not okay Todd, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Todd smiled, I look forward to it sir!"

"And stop calling me sir, we're friends Todd!" Mario said with a warm smile.

Todd smiled back, "will do, Mario."

Luigi was outside on the balcony looking down at the royal garden below, a sullom look on his face.

"You okay Luigi?" Luigi knew from the voice it was Daisy, he felt happy she had come out, mostly because she actually knew his name.

"Yeah, peachy, he spat."

She walked over and leaned on the balcony next to him. "Come on, tell me what's wrong, I know there's something, green mario."

He glared at her and she laughed, "I knew it!"

"Then why'd you do it?!"

"Oh calm down, it was just a joke."

"It's not funny, nobody knows my name."

"Oh come on, it can't be that bad."

He looked at her with a blunt expression.

"I used to have a mansion."

"Used to? Is this a sob story?"

Luigi smiled up proudly at his mansion, he had finally gotten it built. A toad walked up to him and gave him the deed. "Okay mister green Mario, your house is done."

His eyes bulged from their sockets and he grit his teeth. "I'M NOT GREEN MARIO!"

"Who are you then?"

"I'M LUIGI!"

"I thought you were Mario's brother?"

"I am!"

"No, Mario's brother is green mario."

Luigi pushed by him to walk inside but the police stopped him, "sir you can't be here, no sir, green mario lives here."

"I AM MARIO'S BROTHER!"

"Sir, you said you're luigi. Let me see your ID."

His blood ran cold, he just got his ID changed, "it was Green mario since he was twenty five."

"He took it out and gave it to the cop."

"Sir. You need to leave the premises."

"Wait I- I'm green Mario!"

"No your luigi."

"I'M GREEN MARIO, I'M GREEN MARIOOO!" He said crying now.

He was then arrested for impersonating Mario's brother green Mario, Mario thought it was funny and played along for about six months before taking a dna test to prove he was his brother. Then everyone insisted he was green mario and confiscated his mansion for having a fake ID.

Daisy laughed, "that's funny, dude your life sucks bro!"

"Thank you for your sympathy." He said sarcastically.

"Oh calm down, so some people don't know your name, so what?"

"So what? DAISY, I LIVED IN MY BROTHERS SHADOW, AND EVEN THEN PEOPLE JUST THINK IM HIM BUT GREEN! NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME!"He wiped some tears from his eyes.

She stared at him surprised by his outburst, "hey", she said, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry for laughing at you okay?"

"Yeah it's fine,'' he said with a sigh.

"Luigi looked up."

He looked up and saw mistletoe. His face went red at this, "oh my."

"What?" Daisy looked up to see the mistletoe, she smiled smugly.

"So um… you- you want to kiss me?"

She grabbed the straps of his overalls and pulled him into her lips. She pulled away quickly, too quick for luigi. His entire face was red, hers was too, "I've wanted to do that since Mario party four."

"So um, you just wanna stay out here…. And uh…. Make out?"

"How about we go inside and get some hot cocoa, it's freezing?'' she said, hugging him.

"Y-yeah, or that." They then went inside and danced a bit.

Down in the gorge the Grinch groaned as he lay dying, as darkness surrounded him he saw a small old man with weird glasses and a single hair on his head.

"You will be of much use to me, who. Everything Went black at that."
