Little Mario story I came up with a while ago and finally found time to write. Hope you guys like it. :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Mario.
"Luigi!" Mario called. "Hurry up with that-a pizza! I'm-a hungry!"
Luigi scoffed, irritated at the demands his brother was shouting at him. If he wanted this pizza so badly, he could've lent a hand with preparing it. While his older sibling had been lazing about in the lounge, the younger of the two had been slaving away in the kitchen. He'd been hard at work, making this pizza from scratch. From shaping it up from dough to covering it with toppings, Luigi had been extra busy from making this pizza - while Mario hadn't lifted a finger to help.
Now the oven was ringing away to signal their homemade meal was ready. Luigi opened the door before carefully lifted the pizza out. It steamed away in his hands as he placed it onto the kitchen worktop. He smiled, observing the appetizing sight of melted cheese, smooshed tomato - and the toppings he'd placed all over the pizza. It was the perfect meal for two hungry brothers.
"It's-a ready, Mario!" Luigi called.
"Mamma Mia!" Mario exclaimed, walking into the kitchen and rubbing his tummy. "It's-a 'bout time! You took-a so long to make that-a pizza, Luigi!"
"Well..." Luigi placed his hands on his hips, frowning at his older sibling. "You could've a-helped me, Mario!"
"Oh no no no!" Mario shook his head. "I'm-a too tired to a-help you cook, Luigi! It's-a so tiring to be a hero, y'know!"
Luigi rolled his eyes, then he gestured to where the pizza was sitting on the table top, wearing a wide grin of pride.
"What-a you think, Mario?!"
Mario strode over to where Luigi was standing. He peered down towards the meal which his brother had made for the two of them.
A shocked look crossed the heroic plumber's mustached face.
"What's-a this?" he exploded.
Luigi's grin vanished. "Hm?"
"What-a you put on the pizza, Luigi?" Mario glared angrily as he pointed down at the toppings. "I a-told you to put on mushrooms!"
"We-a have no mushrooms, Mario! You a-took them all the last time you went to a-fight Bowser!" Luigi shrugged. "So I had to make-a do with pineapple!"
"Pineapple?" Mario hollered.
Luigi stared, bewildered by his brother's outburst. "What's-a matter with pineapple on pizza?"
"What's-a matter with pineapple on pizza?" Mario repeated ragefully. "Pineapple does no go on pineapple!"
Luigi raised his eyebrow at his sibling's unexpected claim. "Really?"
"Really!" Mario fumed. "What-a kind of Italian are you? Only a bitter, twisted, evil person would-a enjoy pineapple on pizza!"
Luigi gazed down at the pizza. He couldn't understand where Mario was coming from. The little pieces of pineapple sitting among the cheese and tomato looked very appetizing. It would surely make a nice change from the mushroom pizzas which the two of them had all the time.
"I will no eat that-a disgusting pizza you made, Luigi!" Mario huffed. "I'll a-order one instead!"
Luigi turned back towards Mario, glaring. After all the work his brother had made him do to prepare their dinner, he was annoyed to hear he wasn't going to touch the pizza and intended to have one delivered, something which he could've done in the first place.
At least, Luigi thought, I can have-a the pineapple pizza all to myself. I will-a enjoy it even if Mario a-won't.
"But-a first!" Mario suddenly swiped up the pizza from where it sat. "There's-a only one thing to do with this-a awful pizza!"
"Wait!" Luigi cried, realising in horror was his sibling intended to do with the pizza. "No, Mario no! Noooooooooooooo!"
Ignoring the wails of his little sibling, Mario flung the pizza like a frisbee out of the kitchen window. It flew away from the brothers' house, soaring high over the colourful landscape of Mushroom Kingdom - before...
SPLAT!
Bowser roared out as the pizza hit him in the face. The King Koopa was in the middle of making his way towards Mushroom Palace. He'd been going there with the intent to kidnap Peach, but having food thrown at him had stopped him in his tracks.
Unknown to him, his enemy had foiled his plans to capture the princess yet again without even being aware of what he was up to.
"What's this?" Bowser growled, reaching up to pull the food away from his face, which was covered in cheese and tomato. "Is this pizza?"
The villainous Koopa stared at the pizza in his hands. It was looking a bit messy after flying into his face, but it was still edible nonetheless. He tore a pizze off and held it to his mouth.
With his enormous sharp teeth, Bowser bit into the slice. He munched away on the pizza as its unique flavour filled his mouth - before swallowing as a huge smile crossed his stained face.
"Pineapple on pizza!" Bowser exclaimed cheerfully. "My favourite!"
His plans to capture Peach forgotten, Bowser sat back against a nearby tree and began to munch away. It was worth throwing away his wicked plans to enjoy the type of pizza he enjoyed. How lucky he felt to have his favourite kind fly at him - right into his face.
How Luigi would've felt about having his homemade pizza enjoyed by the sinister Koopa King was anyone's guess.
Mario, on the other hand, would've claimed it was proof of his point what the kind of people who enjoyed pineapple on pizza.
It had to be if Bowser loved it!
Thanks for reading this story! Which side are you on? Do you agree with Mario that pineapple doesn't belong on pizza? Or are you with Bowser and believe it does? This is a debate that will probably go on for as long as the existence of time. As far as I'm concerned, whatever it's topped with, pizza is pizza - and that's good enough! XD
Cheerio! :)
