Luigi: This'll be interesting.

I didn't intend a reference to Shrek. I was just establishing Aqua as cute and innocent. I also didn't intended a Peanuts reference. That was just a coincidence. But good comparisons. And yeah, Aqua is starting to see Mario like a father figure of some sorts. But she might not be fully aware of it.

They are delicious indeed! Happy New Year to you too!
6am at Motel Delfino
…
…
Peach: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
Mario woke up in a panic, hoping that scream was just a nightmare. But he turned to see Aqua scared, informing him that she heard it too.
Aqua: What was that?!
Mario: It must be Peach!
Just after he said that, Toadsworth burst in the door having a hard time catching his breath.
Toadsworth: Princess… danger… kidnapped… imposter… SAVE HER!
Aqua: PEACH?!
Mario: OH NO!
The two quickly put on new clothes. Mario put on another red cap with a blue shirt and red overalls, while Aqua put on a shirt depicting a sky with a few clouds and a Shine Sprite in the center, and a white pair of shorts. Peach got them for her at a souvenir shop. The two grabbed their respective FLUDD nozzles and ran out the door. The sun was just beginning to rise and FLUDD spring to life.
Mario: FLUDD! Any news about Peach's whereabouts?
FLUDD: ...D.E.B.S. ALERT...Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom has apparently been kidnapped...AGAIN. The suspect was last seen escaping to the west, with the princess in tow…
Mario: Got it!
As Aqua hovered Mario in front of the Shine Gate to travel west, FLUDD received ANOTHER news report.
FLUDD: ...D.E.B.S. ALERT...According to witnesses, a mysterious "turtle" has appeared in the area near the western cannon. Police suspect a link with the recent kidnapping and are investigating thoroughly…
Aqua: Turtle?
Mario: Sounds like something we should check out.
Reaching the western cannon area, the group slowly investigated the area, keeping their guard up in case of trap. As said in the news, there was a strange turtle shaped vehicle. Mario somehow grew familiar vibes when seeing it. Bad ones. A familiar voice called out to them.
Peach: Mario!
Peach was standing right in the middle of the boat, terrified to even move. Right in front of her was the faker himself, Shadow Mario!
Mario: You!
Aqua: Let her go, you meanie!
Shadow Mario only responded by sticking out a very long tongue at the duo, disgusting and angering them even more.
Aqua: Gross!
Mario: Hasn't anyone ever taught you manners?!
The boat lowered Peach in. Shadow Mario laughed and jumped in the driver's seat. The water from the engine blasted the plumber and young princess in the face before taking off and leaving them in the dust.
Mario: NOOOOOOOOO!
They watched as the turtle boat took off to an island nearby. Mario couldn't tell what it was. But he did see a Ferris Wheel. So maybe this is the amusement park he heard about.
Aqua: Where are they going?
FLUDD: That is Pinna Island. The villain's secret hideout must be there.
Aqua: Pinna Island?
Mario stood there in grief. He broke down in tears and put his head down.
Mario: How could I let this happen?! Me and Luigi promised to stay by Peach's side! And now she's kidnapped AGAIN for like the thousandth time!
Aqua: Thousandth?! What?! I thought it was just a few times!
FLUDD: It's called a hyperbole. It wasn't actually a thousand times, but she does get kidnapped very often. More than you've heard.
Aqua: How often?
Mario: *sigh* This happens a lot. You see, whenever Bowser comes to kidnap her, it's usually at some of the worst possible times. Like trying to have a party. And now those creeps come to kidnap her when we're trying to have a vacation. *sniff* Just why?!
The little princess got confused.
Aqua: Um… who's Bowser?
Mario instantly grew Vietnam War style flashbacks of what Peach told him back on the airplane.
Bowser: Long live the king.
George: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Peach, Daisy, and Aqua: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mario was trying to hold it back, he wanted to stay positive for his friend, but the tears, hatred, and anger boiled up inside him like hot water in a cooking pot.
Not taking it anymore, Mario forcefully took off FLUDD and shoved him in Aqua's hands. Surprising her with this sudden burst.
Aqua: Mario! What are you-?!
Mario: LET FLUDD EXPLAIN IT TO YOU! HE'S OBVIOUSLY THE KNOW-IT-ALL OF THE GROUP! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE FOR YOU FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS! BUT THANKS TO MY BIG MOUTH, THIS STUPID CRIME WE'VE BEEN ACCUSED FOR, OUR PROMISING VACATION BEING RUINED BY THOSE SHADOW FREAKS, AND PEACH GETTING KIDNAPPED AGAIN, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
The upset red plumber ran to a street corner to let the tears flow. Aqua watched sad and still confused.
Aqua: Mari-
Mario: LEAVE ME ALONE!
Aqua was brought into shock and horror. She'd never seen Mario act like this before. She always thought he was a happy-go-lucky, funny, and caring person who only wishes the best for others. But this behavior he was showing clearly meant there was more to him than that.
FLUDD: He's currently fuming with anger, Aqua. Let him cool off for at least 5 minutes.
Aqua: What's he so angry about? What did I do to him?
FLUDD: It has absolutely nothing to do with you, Aqua. You see, back when you guys were on the plane, Peach took Mario into the restroom for a private conversation. She told him everything. About how your parents met their demise two years ago during an attack upon the Mushroom Kingdom, and how it changed you forever.
Aqua: My… parents…? S-So that's what they were talking about.
She was starting to tear up. FLUDD used the same projector he used back in Mario's jail cell to show a slide show projection of Bowser, and the many cruel things he's done.
FLUDD: Indeed. The killer of your parents, and kidnapper of your older sister is known as King Mortimus "Morton" Koopa I. More commonly referred to as Bowser. Bowser is a cruel, cunning, and malicious being of pure evil who wishes to make the Mushroom Kingdom, and then the entire world his very own. He possesses this black magic which he used to turn the residents of the kingdom into bricks. He also convinced some of the Goombas in the kingdom to betray their leaders and join Bowser's forces. He attempted to marry Princess Peach in order to achieve his goals, only to be stopped by the brotherly duo, Mario and Luigi.
The projection showed Mario and Luigi defeating Bowser, and Mario getting a kiss from Peach. The girl smiled hearing their names. She knew this would be the good part.
FLUDD: These two saved the Princess and everything in the kingdom was brought back to normal. But Bowser wasn't done. Far from done.
Aqua stopped smiling and got nervous. The next projection was a video of an angry Bowser with a fire background.
FLUDD: Ever since his defeat, he's hated the Mario bros. with a burning passion, and has vowed to destroy them at all costs.
Bowser in the projection, roars and shoots a stream of fire upward. Aqua gets scared of this and screams.
FLUDD: Sorry if that scared you.
Aqua: It's fine…
She was still shuddering though. The next projection shows footage of past Mario games such as Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, the previous fanfic: Super Mario 64 DS: The Power of the Stars, and a non paper version of Paper Mario. All of which show Bowser's defeats at the hands of the plumber.
FLUDD: Since then, Bowser has tried numerous attempts at defeating Mario and marrying Princess Peach. And sadly, it's unlikely that he'll give up anytime soon.
The projection ended. And Aqua took a few moments to process everything she was just told.
Aqua: Wow… I-I-I didn't know…
FLUDD: So, you see, Mario's life is an endless struggle. He puts said life in danger all the time just to keep your sister and the world safe. If not for him and his bro. Everything you know and love would fall into Bowser's cruel, dark, claws.
Aqua took out a photo of her with her family before the attack. It made her shed a tear on the photo.
Aqua: I see… I never knew there was that much to him. Was he trying to hide it?
FLUDD: He was. He was trying to put his own issues behind him just to focus on yours and make your life better. But it appears to have resulted in his hidden emotions bursting out of him like water bursting through a dam that was holding it for so long. I'm so sorry that he took it out on you.
Aqua: No! Don't be. I understand now. And I'm gonna talk to him.
FLUDD: I guess he's better now. So go ahead.
Aqua walked over to Mario who had just shed his last tears.
Aqua: Mario?
Mario: A-Aqua? What is it?
Aqua: FLUDD told me everything. About what Peach told you, about Bowser, and about all the times you've beaten him.
Mario: He shouldn't have. I didn't want to mention that stupid turtle! I didn't want to make you worried. I wanted you to be happy.
Aqua: It's okay. I understand everything now. And, I really should thank you for everything you've done for me and my sisters. Even though my parents are gone and that you never met them, I like to think that they're smiling down at you, really proud of what you're doing for us. I owe you a whole lot, Mario. Besides Toadette and FLUDD, you're the bestest friend I could've ever asked for! I really mean it! These last two days have been the best of my entire life. And there's still more to come! And I'm glad I get to spend them with you. I will NEVER forget you for this, Mario! EVER!
Mario teared up even more and hugged her. Aqua comforted him to let the tears flow.
Mario: I-I-I'm so sorry!
Aqua: For what?
Mario: For y-yelling at you! I s-shouldn't have put that on you! Especially w-when it had absolutely n-nothing to do with you!
Aqua: Don't worry about it, Mario. What matters most is that I'm happy to be your friend.
Mario: M-Me too.
Mario got up and stretched for a bit, feeling better. He put FLUDD on his back and had a sigh of relief.
FLUDD: Well, now that this is all cleared up, we should go after the criminals. Who knows what they're doing to the poor princess.
Mario: How are we going to do that? They speedboated all the way to Pineapple er-
FLUDD: Pinna Island.
Mario: Thank you. Pinna Island. Swimming there would take forever!
?: Hahaha! Swim?! You guys must be joking!
A blue Pianta behind them was operating a red dome with a hole in the center.
Pianta: If you wanna go out to that island, just hop in the cannon and cover your ears!
Aqua: Cannon?!
Mario: A-Are you sure it's safe?
Pianta: Perfectly safe. As long as you cover your ears.
Mario: Okay then.
They obeyed, the cannon took aim and,
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Mario and Aqua were shot out of the cannon at high speeds. So fast that all that could be seen from them were clouds of smoke.
Mario and Aqua: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Delfino Jail
Luigi and Daisy heard the explosion from their cells and woke up abruptly.
Luigi: What was that?!
Daisy: Maybe fireworks?
Luigi: At this time?! No way!
Daisy: Well, whatever it was, I hope it wasn't anything dangerous.
Shadow Mario's hideout
Shadow Mario arrived with the Princess. The others stood there waiting for him.
Shadow Mario: You're all incredibly useless! What do I pay you for?
Shadow Aqua: You don't pay us!
Shadow Luigi: Yeah, our boss forced us to work with you!
Shadow Daisy: Yeah! Now that we got what we're here for, can I PLEASE take off this stupid disguise?! It's slowing me down, and I would've won if it weren't for this!
Shadow Luigi: Excuse me?! Are you nitpicking on my brilliant design?!
Shadow Daisy: Wow! So "brilliant"! Maybe I am! You got a problem with that?
Shadow Luigi: Yeah, I have a problem! I'll have you know, I had to take DNA samples from each of our enemies in order to make these bibs! Don't you know how hard that is to do without getting caught?!
Shadow Aqua: Well, you got their strengths, but you also got their weaknesses! I can't do so much as punch something without getting badly injured! This body sucks!
Shadow Luigi: Well, what do you want me to do? "Edit out" their weaknesses? It's not that simple because strength without weakness is like the earth without the sun.
Shadow Mario: Would you idiots just shut up and get out of my sight?! I wanna spend time with the Princess alone! And don't take off the disguises until I say so!
Shadow Aqua: Fine loser! Let's go!
The other three Shadow impostors left. Leaving Shadow Mario and Peach alone.
Shadow Mario: Sorry you had to see that.
Peach wasn't taking it and just slapped him.
Shadow Mario: Ow!
Peach: What do you creeps want with me?!
Shadow Mario: Calm down! I came all the way to this island to rescue you, and this is how you thank me?
Peach: RESCUE?! Are you out of your mind?! I'm the one who needs rescuing from YOU! Not to mention, what you and your gang have been doing to this island is just horrible! My friends and family were ARRESTED because of you!
Shadow Mario: GOOD! Serves them right for holding you hostage!
Peach: You're insane!
Shadow Luigi came in to report.
Shadow Luigi: M'lord, we've got company! Mario's coming!
Peach: Mario!
Shadow Mario: Get the weapon ready! I'll stall them! Don't worry, Princess. I'll explain later.
Shadow Mario jumps out to leap into action.
Peach: Wait!
Pinna Park
Now 7am, Mario and Aqua had their heads in the sand. Mario pulled his out and then pulled his friends out. They were still a bit dizzy from that event.
Mario: Yeah, I prefer entering through a portal rather than a cannon.
Aqua: Me… too…
After shaking their heads and coming back to their senses, the two high fived.
Mario: Phew… so far so good!
Aqua: Yeah!
But just as they were about to enter the park which just opened for the day, a familiar foe stood in front of them.
Mario: Hey, that's-!
Shadow Mario: That red plumber again, of all places!
Mario: We found you, faker!
Mario heinously pointed a finger at him. Shadow Mario just smirked.
Shadow Mario: FAKER?! I think YOU'RE the fake plumber around here. YOU'RE comparing yourself to ME?! HA! You're not even good enough to be my fake!
Mario: We'll make you eat those words!
Shadow Mario: There's no time to play games! You won't even get the chance!
The faker ran into the entrance to Pinna Park.
Aqua: Get him!
They ran in pursuit. Inside the park Mario and Shadow Mario duked it out. Mario tried squirting Shadow Mario with FLUDD, only for him to duck under it. Then the faker tried to hit Mario with his brush, only for Mario to grab it and swipe it out of his hands.
Shadow Mario: Hey! No fair! Give it back!
Aqua: Only if you tell us where my sister is.
Shadow Mario: What if I don't? What are you gonna do with my brush? You don't even know how to use it.
Mario: Oh nothing… EXCEPT THIS!
He throws it all the way on top of a Yoshi Go Round.
Shadow Mario: NO!
He tries to run for it, only for Aqua to grab him by his clothes.
Aqua: Oh no, you don't!
Shadow Mario: Grrr!
?: Hey Shadow Mario! We're ready!
Shadow Mario smirked and kicked Aqua off of him, and luckily, Mario caught her. Then the impostor used some sort of force to bring the brush back to him, and went running through the park.
Aqua: Huh? Why'd he try to run after it if he could've just done that?
Mario: He must've been stalling us for something. Follow him!
The duo ran after him, but as they were running, a blue shell came out of nowhere and electrocuted them.
Mario and Aqua: PBPBPBPBPBPB!
Mario: What the?!
They turned to see the source of the shell. A koopa walking on all fours with a pink tuft of hair, and a blue shell with veins of electricity surging through it.
FLUDD: That's an Electrokoopa. A subspecies of Koopa Troopas that throw their electric shells like boomerangs at those who pass them.
The electrokoopa throwed its shell at both heroes again, only for them to step back and Mario sprays the koopa with water, throwing it off balance and getting it electrocuted by its own shell.
Aqua: Serves them right!
They were stopped again by an old Noki.
Park Director: Oh ho! Guests! How fabulous! Welcome indeed! I am the director of Pinna Park! It's truly my pleasure! Because of these blasted Koopas, we get few visitors… Sadly, our park has become more than a bit run-down. We don't have a single star attraction to speak of!
Mario: Sorry, but can we talk later? We're kinda in a hurry.
Park Director: Oh, sure thing!
Shadow Mario floated over a shallow pool. The other three Shadow fakers were there as well. Both groups stared each other down, waiting for one of them to make a move. Suddenly, the water in the pool started shaking, until the bottom of the pool opened up, clearing out the water, with the Shadow group still floating. A large orange object lifted them up into the air, the screen zoomed out to reveal a more complex object with orange, white, and green features.
Mario and Aqua stood still with mouths gaped open. Too startled to even say a word.
FLUDD: What happened? Did the perpetrator get away?
The object finished rising to reveal it was a giant robot mech. Mario didn't know what it was, but he noticed something familiar about the structure. The four impostors' eyes glowed as the mech activated itself, and breathed fire all over the screen.
Aqua: How do we even fight that?!
Mario: I-I really don't know!
The Park Director was absolutely thrilled about this.
Park Director; Amazing! What a spectacle! Is this a new show of ours?!
Aqua: What?! Show?!
Park Director: You guys are great! Whoever hired you needs a raise! I love how you two play the fearless hero and his heroic sidekick, and he's like… a bad version of you, but you both look the same and stuff!
Mario: This isn't a show! This is serious business! You and your staff need to evacuate immediately!
The director couldn't hear Mario over the noise.
Park Director: Well, as director of this park, I want to ensure your success. So, how about I provide you two with a hero's vehicle?
Mario: (Wait! Maybe he can help us!) Alright, you want a show, we'll give you one! Lead the way!
Park Director: Great! Follow me!
The Director took the two up to the entrance to the Roller Coaster.
Aqua: Mario, what's going on?
Mario: Well Aqua, you've never been to an amusement park. So you're about to ride your first roller coaster!
Aqua: What's a roller coaster?
Mario: Only the best ride ever! You're gonna love it!
Park Director: Alright, here's your hero's vehicle. And take these too!
He gives them flowers that look like firework explosions. Mario transforms into a USA color palette (his outfit from NES Open Tournament Golf) with FLUDD getting an overhaul as well, and Aqua gets a shirt resembling the American flag, as well as an arm cannon. They were now Firework Mario and Firework Aqua.
Both: Oooh!
Park Director: Now, give us a true spectacle!
They hopped in and prepped themselves.
Firework Mario: Hold on tight!
As they prepped, the mech shot bullet bills out of its "belly".
The ride began its decent and performed loop de loops.
Firework Mario: WAAAAAHOOOOOOO!
Firework Aqua: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
FLUDD: A Bullet Bill approaches from behind!
Firework Aqua: WHA WHA WHA WHAT'S A BULLET BILL?!
Mario heard a screeching firework-like noise coming from behind, and saw a black bullet coming at high speed.
Firework Mario: That's a Bullet Bill!
He shot a firework out of FLUDD and the Bullet Bill exploded in a puff of smoke.
Firework Aqua: Woah!
Firework Mario: You protect us from Bullet Bills! I'll aim for the mech!
Firework Aqua: Got it!
Mario aimed for the mech and shot it with a firework, causing it up spin its head and give off electricity.
FLUDD: A direct hit!
Firework Mario: Yeah!
As they got closer, Mario got a better look at the mech.
Firework Mario: (Bowser! I should have known he'd be behind this!)
Mario shot another firework at Mecha-Bowser. The mech breathed fire at an area and Mario shot it again before it hit them. Mecha-Bowser went haywire and broke the track in front of the heroes with its arms.
Both: Uh oh…
Both heroes fell off the track screaming. When they hit the ground they lost their powerups, but were otherwise okay.
Mario: Well, that was quite a first roller coaster ride for you.
Aqua: Yeah. But it was a lot of fun! I'm definitely not gonna forget it.
The two laughed together for a moment before confronting the broken down Mecha Bowser. It's head popped open, revealing the Shadow quartet and Princess Peach.
Peach: Mario! Aqua!
Shadow Mario moved his brush in front of Peach to silence her and keep her from moving a step.
Mario: Alright you fakers! We beat your dumb toy! Now, we got a couple of questions for you, and we want answers! Who are you guys? And why are you pretending to be us?
The impostor took glances at each other and nodded. They all jumped into the air and flipped several times before landing back in the mech. They looked different. They were no longer in their human shaped forms, but rather were shaped like koopas. Three of them looked familiar to Mario, while the blue one did not.
The pink one took off a bib depicting waves in the ocean to reveal a koopa with a pink bow, blues eyes, thick pink lipstick, a red necklace, two ring shaped bracelets, a pink shell, and high heels.
Mario and Peach: WENDY?!
The orange one took off a bib depicting a nose with Luigi's mustache underneath to reveal a koopa with large, wild blue hair, black eyes, a single fang in his mouth, a blue shell, and spiked bracelets.
Mario and Peac: LUDWIG?!
The green one took off a bib depicting a flower to reveal a tall koopa with green hair resembling a tree, glasses with multiple lens, a green shell, and spiked bracelets.
Mario and Peach: IGGY?!
Wendy: Surprised to see us, Mario?
Iggy: It's been awhile, old 'pal'.
Aqua: You know these guys, Mario?
Mario: But how?! I beat you guys and the rest of your siblings back in Dinosaur Land! I thought you were done for!
Ludwig: We can't die, fool! We had magic wands, so we escaped our castles before they could crumble. Since that's out of the way, we have a friend here who's been wanting to meet you for a LONG time. Show 'em Junior!
Mario, Peach, and Aqua: Junior?
Finally, the blue one took of a bib depicting Mario's nose and mustache to reveal a new face that Mario and Peach have never seen before. This koopa looked like a younger version of Bowser. He had a tuft of red hair, beady eyes, gray bracelets without spikes, and a green shell. He also appeared to be around Aqua's age.
?: Leave my mama alone, you bad people! I won't let you take Mama Peach away!
Mario, Peach, and Aqua went wide eyes after hearing what that kid just said.
Peach: Wh-WHAT?!
Aqua had no words to say other than rapidly shaking her head back and forth saying no.
Mario: WHA?! Y-YOU?! H-HER?! NO! NO! JUST NO!
FLUDD: That can't be true! It's illogical!
?: Oh, it IS true! Papa told me all about it. He told me my mama got kidnapped by a bad man named Mario, and his group of baddies. They brainwashed her into thinking that Mario was his hero, and that two princesses were her sisters. That's just weird! A kid around my age as my aunt? That's just dumb! So I came here to rescue her!
Aqua: Hey! It's true! She is my sister! How could you be her son?!
Mario: Agreed! You look nothing like her!
Peach: Wait, your Papa told you that… are you Bowser's son?!
Bowser Jr.: You guessed that right, Mama! My name is Bowser Jr., and I came here to stop those kidnappers and bring you back with our family.
Peach: And you're doing it by vandalizing the island?
Bowser Jr. held up his brush. It showed a familiar logo on it.
Bowser Jr.: This is my magic brush. When I draw with this, all my wishes come true. A strange old man in a white coat gave it to me.
FLUDD: A strange old man… in a white coat?
Mario: Do you happen to know this person, FLUDD?
FLUDD: I think I might. That brush looks familiar. Hold on a sec.
FLUDD scanned the brush from afar and came to a sudden realization.
FLUDD: Mario! Aqua! That brush was made by the same company that created me! Gadd Science, Inc.!
Mario: What?!
Aqua: Really?!
FLUDD: Indeed. This is interesting to say the least.
Mario: But that still doesn't answer our other question. Why did you pretend to be us?
Bowser Jr.: Papa told me everything. He said "Mario is a bully! He never fights fair!" He said "Junior, you gotta try to outsmart Mario!" So I hired these guys so we could get you bullies sent to prison.
He then angrily pointed a finger at Wendy.
Bowser Jr.: But then YOU had to screw up everything! Thanks to you, that girl broke Mario out! And now he came to steal Mama Peach again!
Wendy: I told you! I couldn't find the key!
Ludwig: To be fair, Wendy. You did screw up BIG TIME!
Iggy: Agreed!
Wendy: Thanks for nothing!
Peach: Your father was lying to you! I can't be your mother! That's impossible!
Mario: And we came here to RESCUE her! You're the one stealing her!
Bowser Jr.: My Papa is NOT a liar! He's the most honest person I've ever met. And as for you… You pests! Stop following us!
They all jumped back into the cockpit as it began to take off.
Peach: No! MARIO! AQUA!
Mario and Aqua: PEACH!
The lid closed and Mecha Bowser's head popped off its body, sprouting a large red and ugly balloon.
FLUDD: No! Not again!
The head flew away towards a volcano near Delfino Plaza.
FLUDD: It appears to be heading towards Corona Mountain!
Mario: Well, then that's where we're going next!
The Park Director walked up to them, excited.
Park Director: Outstanding! Breathtaking! What a tour de force! Perhaps it'll inspire word-of-mouth to draw more visitors!
Mario: Glad you enjoyed it, but we gotta go now!
Park Director: Oh sure! Come back anytime!
In the center of the pool revealed not a Shine Sprite, but rather a large key with an L logo on it.
Aqua: Is that?
Mario: Luigi! Yahoo! And just in time!
They grabbed the key and were teleported to jail.
In Jail
Mario used the key to unlock Luigi's cell.
Luigi: Huh?
Mario: Hey there bro!
Luigi grew a big smile on his face and jumped out of his cell.
Luigi: Aw yeah! Weegie time!
Mario: Luigi!
Luigi: Mario!
The two hugged and cried together for a minute since they've been separate for a few days.
Luigi: Now we can finally venture again like good times!
Aqua: Hi Luigi!
Luigi: Oh… uh… hi! Aqua, right?
Aqua: Yep! It's-a me!
Mario and Luigi: Wha?!
Aqua: Let's just say Mario's been rubbing off on me. Tee hee!
Luigi: Hmm… yeah…
Mario: Anyways, Luigi. Since you're now with us, we've got quite a story to tell you. Just so that we're on the same page.
FLUDD: Before you do that, Luigi, before you forget, break that red box behind you.
Luigi: Huh? Oh right! I forgot about that.
He broke the box to reveal a new FLUDD model. This one looked to be in the shape of a rocket.
Luigi: Wowie zowie!
Aqua: That one looks cool! Put it on!
Luigi strapped on the new nozzle.
FLUDD: Scanning user information…
FLUDD scanned Luigi's brain just as he did with the two subjects before.
FLUDD: …subject identified as Luigi Franco Mario, resident of the Mushroom Kingdom. Data storage complete. That is another one of my nozzles, the Rocket Nozzle. This allows the user to get shot up in the air like a rocket. Think of it as a high jump.
Luigi: Jumping high? Now that sounds like my kind of thing! Let's-a do this! Uh… how do I start this?
FLUDD: To use the Rocket Nozzle, rapidly pull the trigger back and forth to charge it. Once it reaches full power, blast off!
Luigi: Alright!
Luigi did as FLUDD said, but he ended up hitting his head on the ceiling.
Luigi: OW!
Mario: MAMMA MIA! LUIGI!
Aqua: Are you okay?!
Luigi: I-I'm fine…
FLUDD: Maybe, we should've done this outside.
Luigi: Gee, you think? So, Mario. That story?
Mario: Oh yeah! Well, it began a few hours ago…
Luigi: Wow… must've taken you all day to write this chapter.
Me: It did… thanks for reading! Review and fav!
Edit: Luigi's full name made up by my friend Nintendoscript15.
