Howdy folks! It's me again, and yes, I'm writing another Mario fanfic, but this time I'm co-writing with my brother luigenius. This is going to be a first-person narrative where we take turns, first as Mario, then Luigi, respectively. It's probably going to start out with short-ish posts, but get longer as we both get the hang of it. So without further ado...

Chapter 1: Mario
It had been raining all day, and I was bored out of my mind. Luigi, Peach, Daisy and I were supposed to go on a nice sunny picnic on Yoshi Island... but obviously that was cancelled. So I'd been sitting here, tossing cards into a hat and watching the silver drops mercilessly plunk against the ground outside. In the adjacent room, our little TV was on, and a reporter was saying something about flood warnings in the lower lands of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Someone was supposed to check the weather before we decided the picnic date, but that certain green-clad younger brother of mine had been too busy perfecting some sort of stuffed mushroom recipe.
I sighed, "Hey Luigi, do you still have that secret room under the bedroom? Because it might get flooded." I wasn't sure if Luigi knew that I knew about his secret room or not, but in all seriousness, I was a little concerned. I'd been in plenty of flushed pipes, but a flood could do serious damage.
Luigi was caught up in reading some book. I shrugged and hopped off of my chair, walking over to the window and peering out at the falling rain. "Mama mia, I could be having pasta and cake right now." I was a little bummed, but I tried not to be in too sour of a mood. Crossing the room towards the kitchen, I listened to the echo of my shoes on the floor, wondering if Luigi could even hear them, considering how absorbed in his book he was.
I sat down at the kitchen table and re-read Peach's picnic invitation...
Dear Mario,
Daisy and I are having a picnic on Friday! And we would love for you and Luigi to come join us! We're going to bring pasta and I'll bake a cake! Of course, there will be plenty of hors-doeurves and fingerfoods too. Maybe some Yoshis will join us? I hear the canteloupe there is delicious. Please make sure to tell Luigi!
Yours,
~Peach
PS: Not to jinx us, but if it rains, we'll have to call it off.
I sighed heavily. I'd been looking forward to this so much. But maybe we can re-schedule it? This isn't so bad... I'm just bored out of his mind! Luigi seems content to sit and read... I'd rather be out doing stuff. Mama mia.
