1,000,000 Gold Coins

Mario was walking around his house to past the time when he heard a crack from the kitchen. He ran into it where he saw Luigi and Yoshi. "WHAT HAPPENED!" He looked at the broken vase on the floor.

"...Well,..." Luigi adjusted his cap. "I was in here minding my own business then Yoshi barged right into the door breaking it down without even saying hello. He ran past the table so fast that it shook. Then, the vase fell. I tried to stop it from falling, but it was too late."

Mario's eye was twitching for a few seconds before storming over to Yoshi and started to yell right at his face. "YOSHI! YOU HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFUL! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT VASE COSTS? 1,000,000 GOLD COINS! AND IT TOOK MONTHS TO GET THAT VASE!"

The green dinosaur only rolled his eyes. "Aw, come on! It's just a stupid vase! Can't you guys just get the coins somewhere else so you can go get a new vase?"

Mario's eye started to twitch once again before he started to yell again. "WE CAN'T JUST GET A MILLION GOLD COINS JUST LIKE THAT!" He snapped his finger before continuing. "IT'LL BE AT LEAST 5 MONTHS FROM NOW BEFORE WE CAN GET ANOTHER VASE LIKE THAT!"

Luigi raised his finger. "Hey, Mario. We can just look for coins in the Mushroom Kingdom. I'm sure the princess can help us."

The red plumber sighed as he rolled his eyes. He walked out the door with his fist to his sides. "Fine... But it'll take all day..."

And that's how New Super Mario Bros. 2 began.
