(Bowser) "What do you mean you captured him?"

"I think I captured him! So... you wanna see him?"

"Yes, bring him to me. I shall crush his head."

(Luigi) I knawed on my chains. It was hard as, well, steel. Oswald was no help. Nothing could break those things. Birdette walked in.

"Great news, you just got an appointment with the big man himself!"

"God?"

"No, it's better than that!" She started striking muscular poses. "The king of all he sees,"

"Yertle the turtle?"

"No, the King Koopa!" I didn't understand. "King Bowser."

"King Bowser? You mean, that King Bowser?"

"Yes, that King Bowser."

"Oh no, I am not going near that, that monster!"

She walked over to me and unlocked my chains. "Too bad! You're very special, Mr. Luigi."

"I would prefer to stay here, thank you very much."

"What? He's not gonna kill you, yet." She grabbed my hand and started dragging me out the door.

"No, no, no. I will die and you will be the cause of it!"

"You're not gonna die! Yet."

"Yet is the crucial word."

We walked for the longest time. People rushed around us. Some people stared at me. Maybe because I was so tall, maybe because I was a human. Birdette seemed very pleased with herself. We came to a lavish thrown room. I stared at my feet.

Birdette shoved me into it. "Good luck and break a leg!"

I winced. I did not want to think of it. I looked up. A large dinosaur like thing was draped across a thrown. He sat up straight.

"So, you're Mario? Thought you'd be shorter."

"Mario's my last name, I have nothing to do with a short, red plumber!"

"Hm, maybe you don't know who I am, but I'm about to rule the world." He strutted closer to me.

"Ha, well, um, the person who I do not know is totally going to stop you!"

He towered over me, I mean he was enormous. He grabbed me in his hand. I was always used to being the tall one, but this was ridiculous!

"You're lying to me." He hissed. "You're going to save to Mushroom Kingdom. That will not happen under my watch."

"Please, I am just a lowly plumber from New York with Italian heritage! Please do not kill me! I do not want to be a dead man! My name is Luigi Mario, not Mario Mario! And I don't know a man by that name!"

He flicked my nose. "If you are telling the truth, and I am skeptical that you are, you would be good Mario bait, since you say you know him."

"I said I did not know him! If they even are a him! And if I did know them he totally wouldn't be my brother!"

"You speak what is on your mind, and you know Mario. You shall be bait for your brother."

He clutched me in his fist. Just then there was a knock on the door.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm extorting information from a guy here?"

A smaller version of Bowser walked in. "There's a Princess at the door, Papa."

"Which Princess?"

"Mama."

Mama? What did he mean by that? Bowser stormed out the door with me still in his hand. I tried to wiggle free but he clutched harder. I felt like a damsel in distress!
