Bowser had just finished his speech about marrying princess Peach to his subordinates. He had finally gotten the super star that he had been working towards obtaining for several years already. He had dreamed of this moment for so long. His father had always been quite strict. Always expecting the best from Bowser. He had died dissapointed in his own son. Bowser couldn't accept it, he had to do something great to make his deceased father proud. He had to. Then he would finally feel as though all he struggled through as a young lizard was worth it. Right? It had to be that way, and when he finally married princess Peach, he would a prince right. That was somethign his dad would've surely loved. And princess Peach was the only sensible choice for marriage, there weren't that many other princesses around. And she was pretty, conventionally pretty. Bowser was sure his father would've loved him. He just wasn't sure about himself. But anything for his father he thought and continued to celebrate with his minions. The celebrations lasted for a long time and he actually started to get excited with marrying someone. To finally be united with someone who was going to never leave. He could share his days and duties with someone else. He started imagining all the possible ways to spend the days after marriage, a partner had been something he had longed for.

Creativity took over him as he decided to excuse himself from the party and head to his special lair. It was filled with musical instruments on different floating rocks. His favourite piano was in prime condition, just waiting to be played. Bowser filled the room with a tune and he started singing about his future wife.

"Peach, you're so cool... And with my star, we're gonna rule... Peach, understand... I'm gonna love ya 'til the very end... Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches! Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches! I love you! Oh! Peaches! Peaches--"

Bowser quit playing as his trusted little minion, Kamek, teleported into the room. Bowser was annoyed as he had repeatedly told Kamek to announce himself, but the information he told made Bowser forgive him.

"Sire?" Kamek asked meekly.

"What?"

"The report from our intelligence. A mustachioed human has arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom. The princess has been training him. They are up to something, sire!"

Bowser sits in silence for a moment and then he asks Kamek to sit beside him to jam with him. Bowser is curious about this human.

"This, uh, human. Where did he come from?"

"We...aren't sure?"

"Does the princess...like him?" Bowser asked with worry in his voice. He finally had gotten his hopes up, just to be hit by news like this. It was obviously going to get him worried. Who was he going to marry if princess Peach had someone else.

"Sire! Look in the mirror! You have nothing to worry about."

"I know that. I'm not threatened. Find out who he is, and WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING!!!" Bowser yelled. His words telling a different story than his tone and actions. He slammed the piano lid on Kameks fingers and marched away. His mind was filled once again with negative thoughts. Was he going to end up alone after all the struggling he did to obtain the star? Bowser walks to his throne and contemplates everything for quite some time.

Bowser was still deep in his thoughts as someone came into the throne room. It was a snifit from the Dark Land. But the snifit is not alone, he is accompanied by someone tied up. The man is tall, lean and clearly scared. He is wearing a bright green shirt under a dark pair of overalls. He has a hat on with the letter L printed on the middle. Bowser is observing the man as his eyes fall on the mans face. Bowser is left speechless whilst gazing at the man. He has a luscious moustache on top of his plump lips. Plump? Bowser hasn't though of anyone else's lips as plump before. He discards that thought and stares into Luigi's bright bright blue eyes. Oh how they sparkle. Sparkle? He can't control his thoughts. Right as Bowser was about to turn away in order to make some sense of his thoughts, the shy guys and snifit speak.

"We found him in the Dark Lands." They said as they presented the man. He looked in to be in pain as he kneeled in front of Bowser. The thought of him in pain made Bowser growl unknowingly which in turn made the man yelp.

"Leave him to me." Bowser commanded. He wanted to know more about him, who he was, where he was from, how he came to him. And he wanted to do it alone. The man gave out a pained cry as Bowser started to question him.

"What is your name?" Bowser questioned.

Luigi had just gotten accustomed to the light in the room after he had been awoken. He stared around the large room and his eyes as stopped at the middle. He saw a prince, or someone he thought must've been a prince before him. The creature was sitting on a throne and he had a very intimidating look to him. Luigi gulped and quickly answered. 

"Luigi, uh- my name is Luigi." 

"Luigi, huh, not sure if you know who I am, but I'm about to marry a princess, become a prince and rule the world" Bowser said confidently.

"Wow, I thought you were already a prince, I mean sorry it's just you look just so-."

"Are you mocking me." Bowser said enraged.

"No, I would never, you just look so handsome and royal, I thought you must've been one already" Luigi stuttered out half embarrassed and half frightened. He didn't know what had gotten over him. Sure the creature looked heavenly gorgeous, but he was also quite clearly an evil leader that could quite easily have him killed.

Bowser chuckeled and smiled to himself. You could almost see a faint blush on his face. He should have no reason to doubt himself. Clearly he was still as handsome and awesome as he had always been. Still he had to know who the guy traveling with the princess was.

"You know Luigi, there's a human traveling with my fiancée. Has a mustache, just like you. Well almost like you, not as luscious I've heard. Do you know him..?"

Luigi stroked his mustache with his arms still tied taken aback by the sudden compliment. That was a compliment, right? Once he came back into his senses he answered.

"No-no! I do- don't" Luigi said, trying to keep Mario safe. His lie was quite obvious though.

"Ah, tough one, I see. Maybe this will get you to talk!" Bowser said as he pulled on a strand of Luigi's mustache. It was as soft as Bowser had thought it to be. 

Luigi gasped and started panting, it wasn't super painful but the situation made him get a good look of Bowser's big hands. Luigi couldn't stop imagining those hands all over him hence the panting. What had gotten into him?

"I don't know every human being with a mustache wearing and identical outfit with a hat with the letters of his first name on it." Luigi let out once his mind had calmed down.

As Bowser pulled on the hair a little more, partly to get the truth out and partly to see Luigi let out another whimper, Luigi shrieked, his heart was racing so hard he thought he was going into cardiac arrest.

"Please stop! I do know him. Yes, he's my brother, Mario, and he's the best guy in the world!" Luigi lets out, slightly dissapointed that he hadn't held onto the information longer.

"Do princessess find him attractive?"

"They do if they have good taste!" Luigi yelled, wanting to defend his brother somehow.

Bowser was devastated, if Mario was even half as attractive as he though Luigi was, princess Peach was surely going to fall for him. How was he going to marry the princess if she was in love with this Mario fellow? Bowser turned away from Luigi.

"Get him out of my sight!" Bowser yelled to his minions. "We'll see how tough Mario is when he sees his brother trapped".
