Ah, so many fics to write, so little time. And also, sorry for not updating this sooner, but hopefully this'll make up for it!
M is for Minefield
It was the dead of night, which meant that everyone was sleeping. Everyone, except Mario and Luigi. The Bros. were creeping through the Mushroom Kingdom in search of something very important. When they got to their destination, they stood on either side of a giant display case. As they cautiously peeked in, their eyes grew wide at the display case's contents. "Look at them, Luigi. Such beauty." Mario gawked. Luigi nodded, his mouth watering a little, "Like a piece of heaven of Earth." At the same time, almost mindlessly, they echoed, "Cupcakes." Luigi quickly got out a hammer, aiming to break the display case, but Mario stopped him scolding, "You idiot! If you do that you'll set off an alarm!" It looked like Luigi wasn't understanding, so Mario raised his hand smacked Luigi across the face, effectively snapping him back to reality. After finding an unlocked back door, the Bros. silently walked in. Luigi, seeing the cupcakes, immediately ran to them, but set off an explosive in the process, knocking him back to the entrance of the building. Mario facepalmed at his idiotic brother, then looked ahead of him. Row after row of Bomb-ombs lined up all the way to the cupcakes. Mario looked down and saw that the Bomb-ombs were asleep. Mario sighed in relief, "Good. As long as we stay quiet, we should be able to get past them." He thought. Mario grabbed Luigi, and the two started their silent trek through the Bomb-ombs. Along the way, Luigi's nose started to twitch, making him sneeze soon after. Mario quickly spun around and covered Luigi's face with his hand. After shushing him, Mario screamed, "Be quiet Luigi! You'll wake the Bomb-ombs!" As his voice bounced off of the building's walls, hundreds of pairs of eyes opened. The Bomb-ombs looked around confusedly, before all pairs of eyes looked straight ahead. Mario and Luigi froze, hoping that the Bomb-ombs would go back to sleep, but such was not the case. The stares turned into glares, and soon the sound of shortening fuses was heard. Mario and Luigi's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates as realization hit. With a scream of, "MAMA MIA!", all of the Bomb-ombs exploded at once, sending the Mario Bros. rocketing into the night.
Meanwhile, in Bowser's Castle…
Bowser slept peacefully while clutching his favorite stuffed pony, snoring loudly. He was in the middle of a dream where he was finally able to defeat Mario. As he was just about to throw Mario off of the platform, said plumber and his brother crashed through the ceiling. Bowser screamed and clutched his pony tighter. As the Mario Bros. dazedly got up, Bowser looked around his now destroyed room. He gasped when he saw his framed picture of Princess Peach shattered. He glared heatedly at the Bros. while fighting back tears at the breaking of his picture. With a yell, Bowser lunged to attack Mario and Luigi, who screamed like little girls as they hugged each other for dear life. And to think this all started with stealing cupcakes.
There ya go! Hope you guys liked it, review!
