Now, to continue.

The room was hushed... no, more than that, it was completely silent. Only the repeated footsteps of the Mario brothers' worn brown shoes broke the encompassing state of inaudity. Mario squinted to see through the darkness, but he couldn't see a thing, not even the lime green clothing of his younger brother Luigi, who was only a foot or so in front of him.
Luigi whispered, "Bro, why are we sneaking around again?"
Mario responded, in whisper, "In case anything's down here..."
Luigi retorted: "It's completely dark, though... we wouldn't know if something was coming even if it did know we were here."
Mario stumbled a little as he tripped up on something, bumping into Luigi, who shrieked in fear.
"M-m-mario! What're you-a doing bumping into me?"
"I tripped over something on the ground... I wonder what it is?"
Mario backtracked slightly, bending and feeling along the stone floor until his hand came in contact with what he had tripped on: it was a burned out torch.
Mario picked it up, examining and then giving the news to Luigi, "Hey Luigi, this feels like a torch. You have anything to-a light it with?"
Luigi shook his head, searching his pockets, finding only lint and the occasional gold coin.
Mario exclaimed after a moment of similar searching, "Hey... looks like one of the petals fell off of a Fire Flower in my pocket... maybe I can use it."
Mario proceeded to grind the petal between his thumb and index finger, sprinkling the petal powder over the end of the torch.
Eureka! It lit, shedding light partially over the room, causing Mario and Luigi to squint at the reddish-orange flame.
"There we go," said Mario, lifting the torch to Luigi and looking past him, around the room.
"Aha! Petal powder power! Pat's pust put pe peeded.. erm, that's just what we needed."
Luigi turned to look before himself, regarding the emptiness of the large, stone, dungeonic room, frowning some, "There's-a nothing down here, bro."
Mario took a few steps forward, shifting the torch about to his side, "Wha... what is THAT?" Before the Mario Bros. slept a gigantic Boo, amassing much of the room's space with its unbelievable size (ohhh yeah, this Boo's big).
Luigi paled considerably, lifting his hand to his mouth to keep from screaming. Mario, in a fit of curiosity, held the torch forward, closer to the Boo... "Look... beyond it, there's a door. That must be the way out of here..."
Luigi frowned, "Well, how do we get past that gigantic Boo??"
Mario lowered the torch slightly, lowering his eyebrows over his sky-blue eyes in thought...
***
Will Mario and Luigi get past this massive monstrosity of a Boo!? Or will they be stuck to strive stupendously, sauntering about the sizely cell, sidling the walls and supportively saddening with their entrapment!? Will I use any more repeated "s" words!?! Stay tuned to find out! (Please?)
See how the mustache hides the slightly sad smile... and the sideburns, portraying his simple, blue-collar roots... and his legs, thick, wide, the legs of the masses!
