Author's Note:
This is a story I had start a year ago and never posted up.
It's an alternative version of Super Paper Mario where the Mario Brothers are separated as babies and reunited later as adults. This story was inspired by DarkFoxKit's Super Paper Mario: Luigi's Tale. Most of it is going to focus around Luigi and what he does while Mario and the others were collecting the Pure Hearts.

Chapter 1:
Prologue
...
This is a story about two brothers,
Twin brothers to be exact
Separated near birth,
Reunited as young adults
When all worlds were in danger
To become well-known heroes
...
A long, long time ago...
First began the story about Baby Mario and Yoshi.
A stock hurries across the dusk, pre-dawn sky.
In his bill, he supports a pair of twins.
One wore a red hat with an "M" on it,
The other wore a green hat with an "L".
They both were sleeping peacefully,
As the stock carry them home to their parents.
Suddenly, a shadow appears in a gap between the clouds
And races towards the stock with blinding speed.
"SCREEEEEEECCCHHH!" It yelled.
"THE BABIES ARE MINE!"
WOW! goes the stock,
As it was left spinning in a circle.
Snatching only one baby, the creature soon vanishes
Into the darkness from whence it came.
The second baby falling undetected towards the open sea...
...
Back with the creature,
The other baby was squirming vicariously
After waking up and finding his twin missing.
The creature pays little attention to the baby's constant movement
And flew as fast as he can
He didn't notice the baby was slipping from the sack.
And he was flying too fast to notice the baby falling undetected towards the forest ground…
...
Meanwhile, here is Yoshi's Island, home to all Yoshies.
It's was a lovely summer day, and Yoshi was taking a walk.
Suddenly, a baby drops onto his back.
It was the baby wearing a red cap.
The baby seems fine. This is very fortunate!
The little boy could have fallen on a dangerously hard surface.
Or worse, drown in the open sea.
The green dinosaur soon turned puzzled.
What was a baby doing so far up, and how did he get this far?
Yoshi decides to talk to his friends.
Maybe they can help him with his problem.
...
"AAAARRRRRRRKKKKKK!"
Kamek, the evil Magikoopa, and kidnapper of the baby,
Quickly dispatch his toodies when he discovered that he didn't have any of the two babies.
Yoshi heads leisurely back to the other Yoshies,
Unaware of the danger at hand
Kamek's forces are actively searching the island.
...
Sometime later, Yoshi and his friends gathered around the red-hated baby
To discuss the mysterious occurrence
They are all in an uproar over the baby that fell from the sky.
Suddenly, the baby started to squirm and babble excitedly.
Wait! The baby seems to know where he wants to go...
Everyone fell silent and turn their attention to the baby.
The bond between the twins informs each of them where the other one was.
Yoshi seem to understand the baby's idea,
So he places him back on his saddle.
The Yoshies decided to carry the baby to his destination via a relay system.
And that begin the adventure for the Yoshies and Baby Mario.
...
Deep inside a dark forest
The sound of a baby crying filled the forest area.
The other baby, the baby with the green hat, was crying his little heart out.
Unbelievably, the little baby had somehow survived the terrible fall from sky.
In spite of that, he was alone in a mysterious forest with no way to get back to his twin.
Suddenly, there was a noise from nearby.
"...Do you hear that?"
"It sounds like a baby is crying."
There was some mumbling from some voices then the sound of something approaching.
In the darkness of the forest, two figures appeared.
"It is a baby!"
The voice sounded female.
"But what is a baby doing all the way out here?"
"Perhaps...the same reason we're here." said the other.
This one sounded male.
The green hated baby, who we know as Luigi, continue to cry until he was lift into the arms of a blue man.
His cries soften into sniffles when he looks into the man's glowing red-eye and monocle.
"Bleh, heh, heh. Perhaps, little one, you will prove useful to me in a later date."
The man took hold of Baby Luigi in one hand and wraps him protectively in his white cape.
"Come, Nastasia, I do believe we found what we've been looking for."
With a nod from the woman, they both disappeared
From the forest and the world with Baby Luigi in tow
As the years pass the bond shared between the brothers begin to fade
But it never cease to extinction.
And thus began the Tale of the Two Brothers.
