Fruits of Labor (Mario Movie x Male Reader)

The Warp Pipe

Arriving home, Mario and Luigi hang up their hats as their family talks in the dining room.

Uncle Arthur: Ma, did you make these?

Mario & Luigi's Mother: Ah, good batch, eh?

Uncle Arthur: Why don't you make it like this?

Mario and Luigi enter their family's dining room with Y/n following behind as their guest.

Mario & Luigi's Family: Hey-yo!

Mario & Luigi: Hey-yo!

Y/n: Hello, everyone!

Uncle Tony: Oh-ho, it's the Super Mario Brothers from the TV.

Uncle Tony, Uncle Arthur, and Grandpa laugh.

Uncle Arthur: They give an Oscar for worst actors?

Aunt Marie: Hey! (smacks him in the head)

Uncle Arthur: What'd I do?

Mario: (chuckles) So, uh... So everybody saw the commercial, then?

Uncle Tony: Uh-huh. We seen it. (winks to Uncle Arthur)

Mario: And?

Uncle Arthur: I wouldn't quit your day job.

Uncle Tony: Oops! He already did.

Uncle Tony, Uncle Arthur and Mario and Luigi's grandfather laugh again.

Mario & Luigi's Mother: Well, I thought it was incredible. It belongs in a movie theater. You were amazing too, Y/n.

Mario and Luigi's Mother pats Y/n's head as she places a plate of spaghetti as Y/n beams to her.

Mario and Luigi's dad puts spaghetti with mushrooms onto Mario's plate.

Mario: Ugh, mushrooms?

Mario & Luigi's Father: Everybody loves mushrooms, right?

Luigi: I like mushrooms, I'll take it.

Mario & Luigi's Father: (laughs) Yeah.

Uncle Tony: Mario, seriously. What were your thinkin' with that commercial?

Mario begins placing his mushrooms onto Luigi's plate.

Mario: (as he places mushrooms on Luigi's plate) What? It's supposed to be funny.

Luigi: Can someone pass the bread?

Y/n offers his bread to Luigi which he happily accepts.

Uncle Tony: Yeah, but... What's with the outfits? Plumbers wearin' white gloves?

Mario: That's right. You gotta have a trademark. Gotta stand out.

Mario & Luigi's Mother: Don't listen to them. The world laughed at Da Vinci, too.

LUIGI: Mm, I'm not sure they did, Ma.

Y/n: They didn't. But the message is sweet, I guess.

Mario: Dad... What did you think?

Mario & Luigi's Father: I think you're nuts. You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream. And the worst part? You're bringing your brother and your own best friend down with you.

Mario: (grimly) Well, thanks, Dad. (leaves the table) Thanks for your 'support'.

The family looks at Mario and Luigi's dad with disapproval.

Mario & Luigi's Father: What'd I say?

Mario sits in his room playing Kid Icarus. After losing, he turns on the news.
