Luigi...and Twilight's Mansion

“Twilight….TWILIGHT!!” I heard Luigi screaming as I tried to open my eyes to see the ground rapidly approaching. “We’re gonna crash!” Luigi screamed as I opened my eyes for good and tried to slow our fall.

“Don’t worry, I got this!” I exclaimed as I struggled to slow my fall so we wouldn’t crash too hard on the ground. That was when I noticed a huge lake nearby. “You’re gonna have to trust me on this one!” I exclaimed as I tossed Luigi off my back and he became in position of the lake.

“What are you doing!” Luigi asked nervously.

“Saving yourself!” I said as with Luigi off my back, I slowed my fall as I landed on the ground with a slight crash. I looked around to see Luigi landed in the lake with a mighty splash. “Luigi!” I exclaimed as I flew over to the lake and saw Luigi crawling out, spitting water out of his mouth.

“Gah, unfiltered lake water is the worst!” Luigi said as I helped him up. “You did it Twilight!” Luigi then placed his hand on my back.

“Nah, we did it!” I said as we gave each other a hand.

“Say, where is the painting?” Luigi asked as we looked around.

“It has to be somewhere around here,” I said as after a bit of searching, we found the painting near this green pipe near the castle, speaking of, we saw that the castle still looked all creepy looking, nothing changed about that. Luigi then picked up the painting and placed it beside the green pipe.

“I hope this works!” Luigi said as he activated the dark light and flashed it toward the painting. Within seconds, the painting turned a bright rainbow-colored swirl as the princess came out of the painting first rather gracefully.

“Uh, what happened? Where’s King Boo?” The princess asked nervously. She wore a bright pink dress with white gloves on her hands, blue earrings, and this golden crown that rested on top of her blond hair.

“Peach, it’s all taken care of,” Luigi said as a few seconds passed, this other human came out of the painting. He looked a lot like Luigi though instead of green, he had a red and blue set of overalls, only he looked shorter next to Luigi.

“Mama Mia, what…what in the Mushroom happened?” The person asked.

“MARIO!” Luigi said as he rushed over to Mario and the two hugged for what seemed like forever. “I missed you bro” Luigi exclaimed.

“I missed you two bro, but I knew you would come to the rescue, just like you always do,” Mario said as they broke up the hug, only for Luigi to get knocked to the ground as Poulterpup started licking his face.

“I…I…I missed you two Poulterpup!” Luigi said in bits of laughter as he got back up. Lastly, Egad came out of the painting as he fell to the ground, which I helped him up.

“What…what happened? Did you two defeat King Boo and Hellen once more?” Egad asked.

“We sure did!” I said excitedly.

“Good because I do not want to be stuck in another painting again,” Egad said with a smile.

“You’re one to talk about that, say, who is this?” Mario asked as he pointed to me.

“Everyone met Twilight Sparkle, she’s from another dimension, she’s fought villains before and aren’t you something of a princess?” Luigi said.

“Yes I am, the princess of friendship,” I responded.

“And she’s the princess of friendship,” Luigi said.

“Nice to meet you Twilight, I hope my brother didn’t give you too much trouble,” Mario said while laughing a little.

“Not too much,” I said with a chuckle.

“Pleasure to meet you, Your Highness,” Peach said as she gave a curtsy.

“Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Your Highness,” I said as I curtsied, still not used to meeting other royals.

“I may not have seen it but you and Luigi were brave in there,” Peach said with her hands at her waist.

“Oh, it was nothing,” Luigi and I said with a chuckle in our voices.

“They speak the truth, it wasn’t anything they hadn’t experienced before, though, for a first adventure, Twilight did better than I expected with the ponygust,” Egad said as I saw Luigi’s face turning a little sad.

“Well, I had a pretty great teacher,” I said while Luigi and I hugged.

“Would you look at that!” Egad said as he pointed to the sky. The five of us looked up to see that the purple reefs in the sky were starting to shrink as if they were closing on their own. “From my calculations, It seems that the other worlds are reforming, returning to their original places, making us safe from any dimensional trouble,” Egad said happily.

“Woo Hoo! We did it!” Luigi said as we gave a high five.

“Wait, while we were in that painting, our worlds were at stake?” Mario asked.

“Yep,” Luigi said.

“I’m so proud of you brother!” Mario said as he and Luigi high-fived.

“Now one issue remains, WHAT. HAPPENED. TO. MY. CASTLE?” Peach exclaimed as Luigi and I looked at each other nervously.

“Uh…King Boo and Hellen maybe…took over the castle…maybe,” I said nervously.

“You’re lucky I’m in a calm mood now…they better not have changed anything,” Peach said as Luigi and I looked at each other.

“Alright, now as sad as it’s going to be, I think it’s time you get back to your world Twilight, I’m planning on destroying the Switchverse soon, it’s a device that no one should ever wield again,” Egad explained as he carried the Switchverse.

“Wait, you’re leaving already?” Luigi asked in a sad voice.

“I do have duties that I have to get back to, being a princess comes with that,” I said with a chuckle.

“You got that right,” Peach responded as Egad started the Switchverse.

“Well, goodbye Twilight, I’ll miss you,” Luigi said as we hugged.

“Hey, I’m not saying goodbye, it’s a goodbye till next time, feel free to call me over whenever you need another assistant,” I said with a chuckle as another portal opened up right next to me.

“It’s all ready Twilight!” Egad said while Luigi and I released the hug.

“Goodbye, till next time Twilight!” Luigi said as I said goodbye to everyone, I was about to give Egad the NES back when he stopped me.

“Keep it, it looks good on you, with you leaving, I have no other use for it,” Egad said with a smile as I kept the device on my head as I kinda liked it. I said my goodbyes once more as I took a deep breath and stepped through the portal, back home to Equestria.

The next day . . .

It was a peaceful afternoon. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and I was at my desk, almost done signing some papers regarding new duties I had to do.

“And done, that took longer than I expected, at least I can catch up on reading the next Daring Do book,” I said to myself as I grabbed the new Daring Do book from the huge bookcase in my room right when something else happened. The ground started to shake, the lights began to flicker and a portal appeared right in the middle of my room. “Fascinating,” I said surprisingly as someone I already knew stepped through the portal, holding the ponygust in his hand.

“Twilight, we need your help again, Egad didn’t learn his lesson about fixing broken containment chambers,” Luigi said.

“Count me in!” I said as I grabbed the Ponygust and went through the portal to our next adventure.

The End
