I guess if Mario wants to be a zombie or a werewolf, the internet thinks Luigi should be a vampire? Yeah, sure. Do whatever you want, people online. This is cute, however.

The plumbers were fast asleep in their beds when a sound came in through the speaker.

"Wake the fuck up, zombie slayers," said Nicole. "Breakfast is ready at ten. Be there or be square and starving 'til lunch."

Mario and Luigi got up and threw their things on before exiting their room. As they walked down the stairs, a thought slid into Luigi's head.

"Mario?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we came here for a reason?"

"Maybe... This zombie apocalypse has been going on for three years. If we can clear New York, maybe we can save the rest of this country."

"Maybe... But why now? Why not when it started?"

"Are you saying the portal sent us to this point in time on purpose?"

"I think so. It chose that location and this period in time where Nicole and Sebastian found us. Maybe they need us to save them."

"If that's so, then we better think of something before something terrible happens."

Mario agreed as he opened the stairs door only to find his face against Sebastian's chest.

"Well, good morning to you too, Mario," he said in a chuckle.

"Sebastian! Hi. Good... good morning."

Luigi snickered as something knocked his hat off. It was Nicole leaping over him and Mario. Sebastian got out of her way letting her roll on the floor in style.

"Morning," she said with something in her mouth as she got up adjusting her ponytail. "Sleep well?"

"Yes, Nic- wait a minute, that's my hat!" said Luigi.

"And it's gonna be on my head until you can prove your story's true. Seb, is a team ready to go today?"

"Almost. We need two more people since Percilla has a cold and Ethan's busy downstairs."

"If we don't have two more for the bus by eleven, we'll leave anyway," she said while putting Luigi's hat on and stealing Mario's. She quickly walked away before either of them could take their hats back. "After breakfast, I want the Marios in the training room. If you want your hats back, prove that you're THE Super Mario Brothers!"

Sebastian chuckled as he adjusted his hoodie. Mario thought he saw something under his hoodie.

"I'm sorry about her," he said with a smile. "When she wants someone to do their best, she takes something they love and use it to her advantage. I guess she thinks you love your hats."

"We had them since birth," said Mario.

"Ah. Welp. Looks like you've gotta do what she wants to get your hats back."

After a quick breakfast, Mario and Luigi were in the training room. They found her on the second-floor support beam.

"Nicole!" shouted Mario. "We're here for our hats!"

"Then jump!"

"What?"

Nicole climbed to the third-floor support beam. She was spinning the boys' hats on her war fans. Lucky for the boys, the blades were inside the fan.

"If you are who you say you are and your story's true, then you should be able to jump higher than a normal human which is maybe two feet give or take. Each floor is 15ft so Mario should at least be able to touch the second-floor beam while Luigi can stand on the second. Mario's first."
