Chapter 3

I do own Mario Franchise, Nintendo does.

Today was the day, no matter what, the brothers were going to buy those rings. Luigi was asleep when the phone rang, "Hello Luigi?" Mario said through the phone, "Yeah?" Luigi said groggily, "We're going to buy the rings, I'll be there in 15 minutes." Mario ended, then hung up in anxiousness. "How rude." Luigi said to himself, then took a quick shower, changed to his trademark attire, and ate a quick breakfast. KNOCK KNOCK! The door went, Luigi opened it before everyone else, it was Mario, "Come on!" Mario said hurriedly, "Ok!" Luigi said annoyed, being nearly dragged by his brother. They boarded his kart and sped off kind of fast. "Kids." E. Gadd said, closing the door which Luigi forgot to close.

The brothers sped through Toad Town, and where about to arrive when they heard a familiar sound, a Toad Town Patrol siren. They slowed down to a stop, "Oh brother." Mario said while he was taking out his wallet. "License and regitra... Mario!" The toad in uniform said, "Go on! But not to Fast!" Mario put back his wallet, "Thank You officer." Mario said, and continuing his driving. Soon they arrived to the jewelry store, it was an average sized building in the west side of Toad Town. They entered the store, and it seemed beautifully decorated, with a vibrant red carpet on the floor, they loved it very much. "Can I help you?" a purple magikoopa behind a counter asked the plumbers, "Yes, I have an order here for a ring." Mario responded, pulling out the letter, "We do in fact have an order." the magikoopa said while looking at her computer. "Mario is it?" she asked again, "Yes." Mario replied, "Your ring will be brought momentarily, while your waiting please pay the exact cost." She said again, and Mario handed her a bag of 3,000 coins from his wallet (E. Gadd invention). "Thank you, and you sir?" the magikoopa asked Luigi, "Yes, do you have this ring?" Luigi asked while showing her the circled ring in the catalog, "Why yes we do, its right here." the magikoopa replied, opening the glass case and taking out the ring. "How much?" Luigi asked, "3,213 coins please." Luigi took out his wallet and got his coin card, he then slid the coin card through the reader, "May you sign here to validate this is your card?" she asked, and Luigi did. She then put his ring in a case of his choice, a yellow one. "Excuse me sir, I'll go get your ring." the magikoopa said as she went to the back door, and brought back another ring, "Here you go. Which box should you chose?" she asked, and Mario said pink, "Oh my, I don't have the pink. Don't worry." she said, and used her magic to bring a pink one from a far away drawer. She then placed the ring in the case, "Thank you, come again! And good luck!" she bid farewell with a wink. As they were heading to their kart, they were too heading into trouble, or otherwise called the Wario Bros. "Hey Wal, look! Its our cousins!" Wario taunted, "Yeah, and what do you have in that bag?" Waluigi sneered, pointing at the bag which contained their rings. "Nothing!" Luigi retorted, "Well lets check it out Wal!" Wario said and started pulling the bag from the Mario Bros. "Stop!" Mario yelled, but their efforts were to no avail, since Wario was stronger than both bros. combined, he pulled the bag away from their grasps. The Wario bros. investigated the bag and found the two cases with the rings, "Awww... How sweet, little pasta lover wants to be with Pink Peach forever." Wario taunted as he held the pink case, "Yeah, and Green Wimp too!" Waluigi added, holding the yellow case. They threw the cases back in the bag and chunked it back to them, "You don't stand a chance Mario!" Wario said coldly, "You too Luigi." Waluigi added, and they left. "Well, at least they called us by our names." Mario said trying to cheer himself and Luigi up, "Yea." Luigi replied. "You know what Mario, we've been this far, we can't give up!" Luigi said, "You're right! And remember what papa said: (Flashback: Set in a chess game) Mario, Luigi, when you feel like your down, remember, you haven't destroyed. Life is just like chess, you may have many checks, many problems that may seem to be the end for you, but as in chess, you still have a chance. So don't give up, you maybe in check, but you haven't been on checkmate." Luigi said to his brother. "Come on let's go! For the Princesses!" Mario shouted, "For the Princesses!" Luigi added, and they boarded the kart and drove off.

The brothers' love for their princesses has been on many checks, but they didn't give up, they continued, they didn't fall, and they wont fall. For what their problems didn't know is that love cannot be destroyed, it can be put on check, but never on checkmate.

And that readers, is the moral for this tale.
