Chapter 5: The Mario Bros' Story

The Mario Bros, Gillman family, and Brill had arrived at the Gillman residence. Agatha parked the van near their home. The Mario Brothers took a view at the building that had the shape of a lighthouse, and they admired it. Once inside, Agatha showed them their house to the bros.

"Here we are, the Gillman household." said Agatha.

Inside, there was the tv and a couch to the right and a small kitchen table at the left. A staircase leading to the next floor where the kids and parents had their rooms.

"Wow, it's almost like our apartment back in Brooklyn, except it's mostly flat." said Mario.

"You guys live in Brooklyn, New York?" asked Ruby.

"Yep." Luigi responded.

Everyone was in the kitchen, and Mario, Luigi, Ruby, Sam, and Agatha sat on the chairs while Arthur was about to cook something and Brill stood up next to the counter.

"So what can I prepare for you boys? Burgers, Salad, Tomato Soup…" Arthur suggested.

"Umm, do you have spaghetti or pasta? We always love that meal." Mario requested.

"What luck, I have all the ingredients to make spaghetti! It'll be ready in 25 minutes." said Arthur.

"We can wait." said Luigi.

"Hey Mario Brothers, I have a lot of questions about you two." Sam asked. "How did you guys start your plumbing service? You said the two of you are athletic? What do you have inside of your van? What were those strange blocks that had question marks?"

"I also want to know how you guys saved Brooklyn from those strange creatures?" Ruby also asked the bros.

"You guys actually heard about that?" wondered Mario.

"There was that blog about you guys and everyone seemed to talk about it. So we would like to know how it happened?" Ruby added.

"Oh, please do tell. Maybe we can learn something amazing about you two." Agatha joined in.

"Yeah, can you, pretty please?" Brill pleaded.

"I can hear your story while I cook." replied Arthur.

"Shall we Mario?" asked Luigi.

"It wouldn't hurt. Well, let us start at the beginning, then." Mario began.


So Mario and Luigi told the Gillman family when they were young, they dreamed of becoming official plumbers. In order to make it come true, they had to work as wrecking crews to gain some cash. But later, they quit their job because their boss, Spike, kept gloating them every time. Next, they shared how they began making their commercial and broadcasted on live tv. Of course, Spike was there to make fun of them and he almost tried to pick a fight with Mario because he threw a balled-up napkin at Luigi.

"Wow, you really stood up against that Spike guy." said Sam.

"I can't believe someone like him would hire you just to make you two his laughing stock and then embarrass you about your commercial. When I have my assistants for my Bottle Up business, I will never be that rude. Unless they don't do a good job." Arthur said with determination.

"He sounds worse than Captain Gordon whenever he gets cranky." said Brill.

"Did you two tell your parents about this?" asked Agatha.

"We did, but all they said was just continue our daily job." replied Luigi.

"And did anyone call for your service?" asked Ruby.

"As a matter of fact, we actually got one." Luigi started.

They retold a couple that needed their bathroom sink fixed. Everything went well until Francis, the couple's house dog, tried to assault them for breaking his precious bone. In the end, they only got paid less due to the mess they left. Nessie felt a little off by how it sounded.

"It's alright Nessie, at least you understand what's right and wrong." Ruby assured, and Nessie felt better.

"What did your parents think of this? asked Arthur.

"Well, our uncles found it hilarious, and our Mom appreciated our talents, but…" Mario stopped feeling a little sad.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Mario?" worried Agatha.

Luigi decided to speak on his bro's behalf. "Our father told him he was crazy and that he was bringing me down with him."

The room felt silent about this.

"Ohh, now that hurts big time. Want me to give you a hug?" Brill suggested.

"Ehh, just a little bit." said Mario, and they both hugged.

"Gee, I don't know how to respond to that." Arthur thought.

"It's fine, but Luigi and I showed our parents how amazing we are." Mario assured.

"So is this where you gonna start sharing about being athletic and the question blocks?" Sam wanted to know.

"The spaghetti is ready. While we eat, you can tell us more about yourselves." Arthur suggested.

"Count me in." Luigi exclaimed.


Everyone dug into their spaghetti and soon the bros began their story of how they tried to save Brooklyn from the flood leak, going deeper into the sewers, finding a green warp pipe that transported them to another world called the Mushroom Kingdom.

Although for Luigi, he was taken to the dark lands and got captured by Bowser's minions.

Then Mario shared about his training with Princess Peach, traveling across the Mushroom Kingdom, arriving at the Jungle Kingdom, battling against Donkey Kong, and stopping Bowser from conquering both the Mushroom World and Brooklyn.

The Gillman family were flabbergasted, but felt exhilarated with how much they were processing. Arthur and Agatha were interested in the two kingdoms, Ruby felt a huge sensation to learn more about the brother's experience, Sam and Brill were enthralled with so much action they've learned.

"Oh my goodness, all of this really makes me like you guys even more. The items, training, and saving both worlds!" Sam sounded excited.

"I guess there are other vast worlds with different kingdoms to discover." Agatha imagined.

"I'm surprised you never gave up after all the beatings you've had. Think you can show me how you do it?" Ruby asked Mario.

"This Bowser monster sounds very dangerous with the way you two describe him." thought Arthur. "I feel like he's more threatening than Nerissa.

"I can't wait to tell all of this to Grandmamah. She'd be very delighted to meet you guys in person." Brill said pleasingly.

"Grandmamah, Nerissa, who is that?" Luigi questioned.

"Well, since you told us about your story, I guess we can share the tale of our species, the Krakens and the vile mermaid queen, Nerissa. Can we mom?" Ruby insisted on Agatha.

"Sure, we can. It's 3:00 pm, why don't you all do some activities for 45 minutes while I prepare the papers for Mario and Luigi to stay in one of my house estates temporarily. Then we can start our story. Is that okay, Mario Brothers?" Agatha offered.

"With pleasure, Mrs. Gillman." said Mario.

"Please, you can call us by our names." Agatha complied.

Everyone did what they liked the most while Mario and Luigi signed the documents that could let them bunk into a house estate, courtesy of Agatha Gillman.
