THE NANNY NAMED LUIGI
CHAPTER V: Berries and Pancakes
The Darklands. A land with a history stretching back millenia to a time before the old kingdoms ruled the world. With monuments and buildings so old that the very events that led to their construction have gone from history, to romanticized tales, to folklore, to mythology. In one of those buildings whose origins have long been lost, the current ruler of the Darklands, King Bowser Morton Koopa was lying in his bed, dormant after a long night in his office. 
Lemmy: GIMME BACK MY TOY! 
Larry: NO IT'S MY TOY! 
Until now.
Bowser: Another day, another argument. 
The king of the Darklands groaned into his pillow. 
Lemmy: IT'S MINE! 
Iggy: DAD!!! 
The king of the koopas prepared to give his usual speech. 
Luigi: Huh this is a nice toy. 
Lemmy: GIVE IT BACK! 
Larry: IT'S MINE! 
Luigi: Hmmm, no. Until I can determine whose toy it is, I'm keeping it. 
Iggy: DAAAAAADDD! 
Bowser: LISTEN TO THE NANNY! 
Lemmy, Larry, & Iggy: NOOOOOO!!!!
There was a brief sound of fireballs. 
Lemmy, Larry, & Iggy: WE SURRENDER! 
Luigi: Now clean up and get ready for breakfast. 
Lemmy, Larry, & Iggy: Yes sir! 
There was a knock on Bowser's bedroom door. 
Bowser: Come in! 
Luigi: Just wanted to tell you breakfast is al….
A subtle blush appeared on the nanny's cheeks. 
Bowser: Al what?  
Luigi: You're…
His blush increased
Bowser: I'm what? 
Luigi: Not wearing any shirt..
His blush increased further. 
Bowser: Oh… Like what you see?
Luigi: I-I-I. BREAKFAST IS ALMOST READY! 
He ran out of the room, his face redder than a tomato. 
Bowser: Guess not. 
Bowser took a quick shower and got dressed. 
He decided to wear a dark chocolate colored single breasted three piece suit with notch lapels, a waistcoat with notch lapels, a white cutaway collar shirt with french cuffs and gold coin shaped cufflinks, a black tie in a windsor knot, a dark red pocket square, black dress socks, and brown dress shoes. 
On his way to the large dining room Bowser couldn't help but think about the night before. He and Luigi had talked and joked for hours, he couldn't remember the last time he'd done that with anyone. He paused, and suddenly remembered. It had been a few nights before his wife died. He straightened his tie and continued walking.
Normally his kids would grab their food from the table, eat it somewhere else, and then give their empty plates to the servants.
Bowser: It wasn't always like this.
He muttered to himself. 
Before his wife's passing they ate almost every meal together. Now they only ate together if there was some state event that required the press to take pictures of them as a family. 
Bowser: Family. Ha. 
He snarled. 
The last time they had a single meal together that didn't involve cameras was about a month after his wife died, on what should have been her birthday. 
It was also the last time he didn't eat alone 
He reached the door to the dining room. 
The king didn't want to turn the knob, he didn't want to eat alone anymore, he wanted to see their smiling faces again and not just when they wanted something, he wanted to be treated like a person again. 
Bowser: Suck it up! 
He growled to himself. 
With dread the lord of the koopas turned the knob. 
Luigi: Morning Mister Bowser! 
Bowser Junior: Hi papa! 
Lemmy: Hi pops! 
Larry: Morning pops! 
Iggy: Hello pops! 
Before the king stood a table surrounded by his nanny, and four of his children. 
And they were smiling?
He rubbed his eyes. 
They couldn't be smiling, he hadn't seen them smile like that in years. And yet here they were grinning happily, looking at him with a warmth he hadn't seen in so long. 
There was a chair ready for him
The king sat down in it, right between Bowser Junior and Iggy. His two youngest children. 
Luigi: Toast sir? 
Bowser: Yes, Mister Luigi. 
In front of him were stacks of toast, pancakes, kachhua berries (roughly the size of strawberries, the shape of grapes, and with taste best described as peach mixed with honey and rosewater), bacon, grilled kame roots (eggplant like in structure, a mix of potato and avocado like in taste. Its appearance is akin to pale white ginger), fried eggs, fried darklands mushrooms, and eastern mountain rice sweetened with sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. 
The king smiled.
Bowser: Lemmy pass me the bacon, i'm feeling hungry today.
Lemmy: Sure pops! 
The lord of the koopas stroked the heads of his youngest children, then dove into the food. 
The rest of the meal was filled with a rare joy as the king and his children happily shared their breakfast. 
But throughout it one question was on Bowser's mind. "How did the human do in one day what others couldn't do in years?" 
The king of the darklands spent his day from morning to night preparing for the conference the following day. Rulers and ambassadors from across the world were going to gather in the Fire Hall. 
The Fire Hall is located in the Iron Castle. A section of the Bowser's castle carved out of an active volcano by the Armored Emperors. The Armored Emperors ruled the Darklands during the Age of War when the Ruined Kingdom and the Alliance of the Seven Empires fought a long and brutal series of wars, and ended when the Ruined Kingdom fell. The Iron Castle was built to be able to withstand the strongest attacks of the time, and is still considered one of the safest parts of Bowser's Castle. 
Within the Fire Hall the Rulers and Ambassadors were going to gather to discuss a variety of topics ranging from determining how much water each nation got from a shared river, to fruit tarifs, to the stationing of troops along borders. 
Bowser sighed. 
In his mind there was one topic that mattered more than any other. Which nations were willing to form an alliance with the Darklands. 
Despite the years of peace, and the many efforts by the nation's Ambassadors and celebrities, the Darklands was still regarded as the Beast Boo of the West by most if not all the leaders of the world. An inherently hostile but supremely powerful nation, that countries only traded with because they feared what might happen to them if they refused to. Something the King of the Koopas knew all too well. 
He'd spent four years trying to change the nation's and his own reputation, and if tomorrow failed to produce even a sign that one state was willing to form an alliance, then those four years were wasted. 
A malicious smile appeared on the Ruler of the Koopas face.
Bowser: Hehe, then again, I can always force someone to become our "ally".
He heard a knock on the door.
Bowser sighed. 
Bowser: Come in. 
The nanny in green walked in. 
Luigi: I made some fresh Lasagna for dinner and was wondering if you'd like to join me? 
Bowser: Dinner? But it's only
He looked at the intricately carved grandfather clock next to his desk. 
Bowser: Ten at night….
Luigi: Lost track of the time? 
Bowser: That's one way to put it. 
The king looked at his desk. 
Bowser: But I don't have time for dinner. I still have work to do! 
Luigi: What kind of work?
Bowser: I have to make sure everyone at the conference gets meals they'd like! 
Luigi: Your chef can handle that. 
Bowser: Check the cameras in the Iron Castle. 
Luigi: Your chief of security can handle that. 
Bowser: Make sure the kids don't bother the people coming to the conference. 
Luigi: That's my job. 
Bowser: But there's still so much to do for the conference tomorrow! 
Luigi: And you've done enough! 
Bowser: What?
Luigi: You've spent over twelve hours working on preparing for tomorrow, and that's just today. I don't know how much time you've spent in total, but I know when its time to stop, and that's now! 
Bowser stood up. 
Bowser: I'M THE KING OF THE KOOPAS, EMPEROR OF THE DARKLANDS, SOVEREIGN OF SHYGUYS, MASTER OF BULLET BILLS, RULER OF GOOMBAS, AND LORD OF ALL WITHIN THE BORDERS OF MY KINGDOM! HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME!?!
An emerald fire appeared in the human's eyes and fists. 
Luigi: AND I'M THE NANNY! 
Bowser sat back in his chair in shock. No one who worked for him had ever defied him. 
The flames in the nanny's eyes and hands dissipated. 
Luigi: Besides, if you die from exhaustion I'll need a new job. 
The nanny grinned warmly 
Bowser chuckled
Bowser: You have a point. 
Luigi offered his hand
Luigi: So I'll ask you again. Would you like to have dinner with me? 
The King accepted his hand.
Bowser: Yes I would.
The pair left the office, and continued talking. Thoughts of the next day far behind them. 
In some distant land far from the Darklands a storm was raging, as a certain golden haired ruler stared at her invitation from the confines of her blood red and bone white colored fortress. 
Golden haired ruler: Soon Bowsie. Soon you'll be mine. MWAHAHAHAHA!! 
She laughed maniacally as her servants cowered in fear. 
Meanwhile in a different part of the world, a certain black haired hero woke up with a start. As he felt something he hadn't felt in four years.
Mario: Something's headed for my brother. 
He ran out of his house. 
Mario: Something evil.

The Nanny Named Luigi
CHAPTER IV: Fried cheep cheep
A mattress not too hard or too soft. Pillows as light as air, and yet firm enough to cradle a neck. Closets for any clothes anyone could ever want. An olympic sized pool. Four bubble baths. A team of chefs capable of making every meal. A life of luxury few could dream of, that would be a dream vacation for most people. And yet for one green ex plumber this was far from a fantasy. 
Luigi finished unpacking. He was only going to be there for a week and often wore the same outfits several days in a row so he'd only packed a few clothes. 
There was a  knock on the door. 
Luigi: Come in! 
A male koopa wearing a purple bowtie, a purple shell with white edges and a white body with Bowser's logo in purple on it, and purple shoes, entered the room. 
Male Koopa: Lunch is going to be served in 45 minutes, so the Chef would like to know what you would like to eat for lunch, sir.
Luigi: Hmm do you have any pasta? 
Male Koopa: Chef can make any pasta you want. 
Luigi: In that case can I get tagliatelle with a mushroom cream sauce? 
Male Koopa: Yes sir. Anything else? 
Luigi: Nothing else. But can I ask you something? 
Male Koopa: yes sir. 
Luigi: Why do you call me sir? I'm just the nanny. 
A small smile appeared on the koopas face
Male Koopa: The staff heard of your little display at the front door. 
Luigi: What…How? 
Male Koopa: The youngest member of the royal household, and his most trusted siblings told everyone what happened. 
Luigi: Oh… should I be worried?
Male Koopa: On the contrary, all three were most impressed, and seemed to have taken a liking to you. 
Luigi: Oh ok. Wait siblings? Who? 
He assumed the koopa was talking about Bowser Junior and possibly Morton, but he had no idea who the third could be. 
Male Koopa: You'll find out in due time. 
The koopa was getting ready to leave his room. 
Luigi: Can I ask you one more question? 
Male Koopa: Yes sir. 
Luigi: What's your name? 
Male Koopa: It's James sir. 
Luigi: Thank you James. And call me Luigi. 
James: Yes Luigi. 
He left the room. 
The nanny in green spent the rest of the time until lunch trying to remember the names of Bowser's children, and learning the layout of the wing in which they lived.
He felt someone tug on his shirt. 
Luigi: Yes? 
He turned around and was greeted by the grinning face of Bowser Junior, and the calm face of Morton Junior. 
Morton: Lunch is ready.
Bowser Junior: Wanna walk with us? 
Luigi: I'd love to. 
The three slowly made their way to the large dining room. 
Morton Junior: I did some research on you. 
Luigi: What did you learn? Oh and duck. 
All three ducked as a large sword missed the human's head and almost hit a startled koopa. 
Morton: That you're uncle Mario's brother, that you got dumped by your fiance for being a loser, and that you've never been a nanny. 
Luigi: Hey I didn't get dumped for being a loser! Jump. 
They jumped just as a trap door opened underneath them.
Luigi: I got dumped because I wanted to get married and help build up the cleaning company they owned, and they wanted to f.. I mean date the customers. 
Bowser junior: What's a fiance? 
Luigi: Someone who you're going to. Hang on. 
He turned around, took a step forward, and slammed his fist into the large stone block headed for them, shattering it instantly. 
Luigi: Marry. 
Bowser Junior: Oh ok… When were you going to get married? 
Luigi: Tomorrow. 
Morton: So if they hadn't dumped you'd be..
Luigi: Preparing for the best day of my life…. 
The nanny in viridian noticed the somber look on his wards faces.
Luigi: At least according to my dad! 
Morton and Bowser Junior: huh? 
Luigi: I never really wanted to get married anyway!  
Luigi heard heavy footsteps and what sounded like a mace being dragged on the floor. 
Morton: So why were you going to get married? 
Luigi casually threw a green fireball over his shoulder, scorching their would-be attacker.
Luigi: Tax purposes.
The trio made it to the dining room. 
Lunch had been set up on the table. There were several platters of varying sizes with food on them. Each with a gold plated name card showing in front of them
There was a large pepperoni pizza with a side of chicken wings, and several bottles of bomb berry soda for Lemmy, Larry, and Iggy. 
A large Caesar salad with lots of bacon, and a heart fruit smoothie for Wendy.
Two bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, and a glass of orange juice for Morton junior. 
Grilled eggplant and northern mountain beans, on a bed of rock noodles served with a spicy peanut sauce, and a glass of snow tea for Roy. 
A beef Blooperton served with orange cloud artichokes, pink asparagus and a rich demi glace, a bowl of consomme sprinkled with gold leaves, a chocolate and peach souffle topped with fresh vanilla ice cream, and a glass of freshly squeezed grape juice for Ludwig. 
Macaroni and cheese, a brownie, and a glass of milk for Bowser Junior. 
And tagliatelle with a mushroom cream sauce, and a glass of water for Luigi.
The family gathered around the table and grabbed their platters.
Lemmy, Larry, and Iggy took their food to one of the smaller living rooms, to watch play a video game. 
Wendy took her food to the pool to get some swimming in before eating. 
Ludwig took his food to the music room to practice piano. 
Morton took his meal to the library to study. 
And Bowser Junior took his lunch to his bedroom to watch tv, leaving behind Luigi and a slightly singed Roy. 
Luigi sighed as he looked at Roy
Luigi: Truce? 
The young koopa threw a mace at the human. 
Luigi caught the metal weapon with one of his hands, which seemed to glow with an emerald ember, and melted the spiked object effortlessly.
Roy gulped, as he saw the man's eyes light up with the same green fire as he'd seen before.
Roy: Truce. 
Luigi took a bite of his pasta. It was good, very good in fact, but not as good as his mother's cooking, his brother's cooking, or even his own cooking. 
Luigi: So umm how's your food? 
He asked trying to distract himself from his meal
Roy: It's alright. 
Luigi: Do you eat this often? 
Roy: Yes. 
Luigi: Oh. Ok. 
The pair sat in silence for a bit eating their food. 
Roy: Can I ask you a question? 
Luigi: Sure! 
Roy: Can you show me how you make green fire? 
Luigi: I umm well ok i'll try. 
He held out his palm and a small white flame appeared, no larger than the head of a pencil. The color shifted to lime green and grew to the size of a fist. 
Roy: Wow!
The prince stared at the flame, transfixed by the ever growing shades of green that appeared in the ball like blaze. 
The man whose clothes matched the color of the hot orb, extinguished the sphere. 
Roy: Can you teach me how to make a fire like that? 
Luigi: I'm not sure, but I can try. Under one condition.
Roy: Name it. 
Luigi: Stop attacking me. 
The royal with pink sunglasses thought for a few seconds, before extending his hand
Roy: Deal! 
Luigi: Deal! 
The pink shelled koopa grinned and the human smiled.
The rest of the day was tiring for the former cleaner. He broke up a few fights between Lemmy, Larry, and Iggy, dodged a few fireballs shot by koopas unknown, looked through the library trying to learn more about his own fire , avoided a few traps, tried keeping an eye on the other koopa children, and tried ignoring how many of the staff kept an eye on him. 
He went to the dining room around dinner time, finding it empty except for James. 
Luigi: Where is everyone? 
James: Eating in various rooms. 
Luigi: Why? 
James: It's been that way for years. 
Luigi: Well where's Bowser? I haven't seen him since I unpacked. 
James: Eating in his office. 
Luigi: Ok… Can you send my food there? 
James: Yes, but might I ask why you'd like me to do so. 
Luigi: Because I don't want to eat dinner alone in a house that isn't mine. 
James: Understood sir, I mean Luigi. But he might not appreciate being disturbed
Luigi: I spent the day trying to avoid getting maimed by his children. The least he can do is keep me company for dinner. 
Before the butler could respond the nanny in green set off to his boss's office
With determination and a bit of loneliness Luigi went to Bowser's office and boldly knocked on his door. 
Bowser: Come in !
Luigi: Hi, I was wondering if it was alright to eat dinner here? At least if it doesn't bother you too much…
Bowser: Why? 
The king of the koopas asked, assuming that his kids had driven him out of the rest of the house. 
Luigi: I wanted some company. 
Bowser: You want…me as company? 
Luigi: Yes… 
Bowser: Are you sure? 
He asked the question for the simple reason that aside from Mario and Kamek almost no one ever wanted to be near him unless they had some ulterior motive. 
Luigi: Yes. Would you be ok with that? I can leave if you don't want me to stay.
He replied unsure of where this was going
Bowser: No no please stay! It just caught me off guard. 
Luigi: Oh ok ! 
Bowser: I'll get someone to bring your food here.
Luigi grinned
Luigi: Already taken care off
James brought in his dinner
Grilled cheep cheep, potato croquettes, and fried green beans. 
Luigi: I really didn't want to eat alone. 
Bowser laughed. 
The king's dinner consisted of medium rare steak, fried rice, and a mix of various local vegetables fried including Da Wugui turnips, and Kame roots.
Bowser: Ever had dinner with a king? 
Luigi: Once but he wasn't nearly as handsome as the one in front of me. 
Bowser: Sucking up will get you nowhere. 
Luigi: Shame. I was hoping to get a raise, or maybe a private pool. 
He said feigning disappointment. 
Bowser: Bold requests for your first day. 
He chuckled. 
Luigi: So if I ask tomorrow I might get what I want? 
Bowser: Ha! Maybe! But next time you won't have to knock. 
Luigi: Is the king inviting me to his private quarters? 
Bowser: Only his office. 
He grinned. 
Maybe it was the tiredness, maybe it was the jetlag, maybe it was something else. But for now the former plumber felt like he could relax around his brother's former adversary. And relaxing was something he hadn't felt he could do in a long time.

Thank you!
The Nanny Named Luigi
CHAPTER I: Help Wanted
It had been four years since the last time Bowser, the King of the Koopas, Sovereign of the Shyguys, Master of the Bullet Bills, and Ruler of all the other inhabitants of the nation known as The Darklands, had last kidnapped Princess Peach, ruler of the country known as Mushroom Kingdom. Since that time both states had entered a period best described as peaceful and prosperous. 
Koopa Woman: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! 
Well mostly peaceful. 
Koopa Woman: THAT'S IT, I'M LEAVING!! 
Bowser: Please don't. I'll do anything! 
For you see right now, the lord of the most powerful state in his world was dealing with a problem that threatened all the things that had taken him years to build up. 
Koopa Woman: NO! THERE'S NOT ENOUGH GOLD IN ROCK CANDY MINES TO MAKE ME TAKE CARE OF THOSE MONSTERS FOR ONE MORE SECOND! 
Bowser: THEY AREN'T MONSTERS! THEY'RE MY CHILDREN! 
Koopa Woman: COULD HAVE FOOLED ME! 
The problem of needing a 
Koopa Woman: OH AND IN CASE IT WASN'T CLEAR! I QUITE!! 
Nanny. 
Bowser sighed
Bowser: That's number 38. 
In the past month his kids had gone through 28 nannies, 6 babysitters, 3 guards, and 1 Smash Fighter. 
The first 5 nannies had been from an upscale agency called Golden Shell, before his family was blacklisted. The next 12 nannies had been from other upscale agencies with names like Silver Streams, Jade Mountains, and Onyx Crowns, before word got out that his kids were, as the last nanny from Ivory Rivers put it, "A royal nightmare". 
Bowser chuckled to himself.
Bowser: Big words from a nanny that didn't last half an hour.
Then again, none of them lasted more than a few hours. 
Not the 7 nannies from other countries, the last one was a Toad that ran the minute the door opened. 
Not the 6 so-called "iron willed" babysitters. 
Not the 3 guards that decided to switch retire midway through their baby sitting shifts. And not the 4 freelance nannies, the last of whom had just quit. 
The only one that had managed to last a day was Link. The Legendary Hero with more titles then he had. How that mute twink had managed to feed them, keep them entertained, and get them to bed, would remain a mystery. 
Unfortunately The hero of The Wild had been too busy to babysit for more than a day, though he had offered to do it next time he was in town. 
The other smash fighters had told him they were too busy, didn't want to be away from home that long, or just weren't interested. 
Well not all of them, there were a few he hadn't called. 
Bowser: No! I can't call them! 
But deep down he knew he had to. There was an important conference in a few days and Kamek wouldn't be back from his vacation for another week. 
Bowser sighed, picked up his phone, and dialed the number he knew by heart. 
Bowser: Mario. It's me, Bowser. It's time to cash in that favor you owe me. 
Somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom there's a small city known as Green Mushroom Valley. Its population consists of Humans. 
Humans are an odd species. As a group they're more genetically diverse than the other groups, the rather interesting result of the species being descendants of various groups of humanoid refugees from other realms, such as the Hylians, Gerudo, Chozo-humans, Kantoans, and Ylissians. As well as the native human species of the world known as Homo Astra by other worlds, due to their ability to receive incredible powers when they touch the golden stars that exist on this world. And some intermarriage with the other intelligent life forms of this world such as Toads, Koopas, and, admittedly very rarely, Boos.
Consequently the cultures of the humans are just as diverse as they are, with their many faiths reflecting this diversity. 
In this city there's a plumbing business owned by one the world famous Mario Brothers! Heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom! 
The phone rang. 
Mario picked it up
Mario: Mamma Mia, it's a me, Mario! Here to help you with all your plumbing needs! 
He relaxed upon hearing Bowser's voice. 
Mario: Oh it's you. Is this about go-karting? Because I told you I can't go this weekend i'm to…. 
The color left Mario's face upon hearing Bowser's request.
Mario:You need me to do what?! 
Mario: Yes yes I know you let me beat you at golf last week, to impress that one golf obsessed client. Yes I know I said I owed you a favor, but I…
As the words left his mouth he stared at his brother sleeping in the waiting room. In the span of a month Luigi had been dumped by his fiance, been fired by the cleaning company his Fiance owns, lost his apartment because he couldn't afford the rent, and was currently living in the guest bedroom of any friend or relative that was willing to take him and his spectral dog in. Which unfortunately meant he never stayed in one place for more than a few days, as most people couldn't handle his phantom canine for any kind of extended period of time. 
Mario: Bowser still there? How much does it pay? Does it come with room and board? 
A smile crept across the plumber's face.
Mario: No no. I'm not interested. But I'm currently looking at someone who I think would be perfect for the job. Whether he knows it or not.

THE NANNY NAMED LUIGI
CHAPTER III: Introductions
The man in green stared at the onyx colored building known across the 13 seas as Bowser's Castle. The Citadel easily dwarfed the largest buildings in the Mushroom Kingdom and was considered one of the 9 marvels of the world. No one outside of the Darklands knew its age, but many speculated that its oldest parts predated the first Dynasty of the Ruined Kingdom, making it significantly older than the Mushroom Kingdom.
Luigi opened the front door of the black stone structure, and was met with a wall of red fire. Reacting on a combination of instinct, training, a fury still left over from when his fiance broke his heart and an anger at being greeted this way, the man clad in emerald garments produced balls of Green fire on his hands and wrapped the Emerald flames around him, creating a blanket of Viridian Fire. The flames of which easily protected him from the Scarlet firestorm, without forcing him to excert to much energy. 
He gazed at his attackers and realized they weren't adults, but teenagers and children. He dropped his guard, and felt his nerves get the better of him as he realized they were the ones he was supposed to babysit. 
Luigi: Hello… I'm…
Bowser: The Nanny
Luigi: No! I mean yes I am the nanny but what I was going to say is that…umm.. I'm Luigi! 
Bowser and his kids stared at him. Iggy, Larry, and Lemmy were confused. No one had ever blocked their flames without using at least a shield. Likewise even the possibility of blocking fire with fire was beyond their comprehension.
The oldest male, the male koopa that fell just above the middle of the group in terms of age, and the female koopa, looked at him closer. Noticing how his seemingly kind eyes held a hidden intensity the likes of which they had only seen in the fathers eyes before their mother died, and how his weak arms were covered in a thin but visible layer of muscles. The more they looked the more horrified they became as whoever was in front of them was clearly more powerful than they were, and was, based on his age, significantly more experienced. 
The second oldest was impressed. He had eavesdropped on father when he called Mario and done some research on Luigi before he arrived, and learned enough to know he wasn't going to be like the other babysitters.
Second oldest teenage male Koopa: His reputation doesn't do him justice. 
He muttered to himself. 
Bowser was unsure what to think. On the one hand Luigi had just shown himself to be more than capable of dealing with his childrens antics, on the other hand he has just shown himself to be potentially as powerful as himself and he couldn't really trust someone who he couldn't control, even if he was Mario's brother. 
Luigi stuck out his hand
Luigi: Nice to meet you! 
No one stepped forward, as each of them dealt with their own thoughts. 
His hand hung in the air, as the man in green felt increasingly nervous. 
The youngest koopa walked from behind his fathers legs and grabbed the man's hand. 
Bowser Junior: I'm Bowser Junior! Nice to meet you!
The young koopa said with a grin very much like his father's. 
He had put on a red bowtie for the occasion, and wore a shell in the same shade as his dad's. 
When the boy witnesses the lime green flames briefly mix with the crimson red ones, he saw flames in colors ranging from violet and blue, to orange and yellow. A moment that left him with a pleasant feeling of awe. 
The man shook the boy's hand, and returned his smile with one that was both warm and relieved. 
The second oldest walked up to him
Morton Koopa Jr: Morton Koopa Junior! 
Luigi: Where's the senior? 
Morton glanced at Bowser with a slight smirk 
Bowser: Morton's… my middle name..
Bowser replied awkwardly. 
Luigi chuckled at his reaction. 
The middle male teenage koopa and the female teenage koopa walked up to Luigi. 
Roy Koopa: Roy Koopa. Pleasure to meet you! 
The middle male koopa said confidently.
Wendy O. Koopa: Wendy Orlean Koopa. But you can call me Wendy. 
The female koopa said nicely but slightly wary. 
Iggy, Lemmy, and Larry were next up. 
Iggy: Iggy! 
Lemmy: Lemmy! 
Larry: Larry! 
Iggy, Lemmy, & Larry: And we are .. THE KOOPA TRIPLETS! HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU! 
Luigi laughed. 
Bowser: Don't encourage them. They aren't that entertaining.
He groaned. 
The three pretended to cry. 
Iggy, Lemmy, & Larry:  Oh woe is us. Treated like underpaid  starving jesters by a cruel father! 
Bowser: I'll buy you a pizza for lunch. 
The three started laughing and left the room. 
Luigi: Are they always like this?
Bowser: Usually they're worse.
The oldest teenager walked up to Luigi. He was wearing a blue single breasted sport coat, Black dress shirt with button cuffs, dark jeans, white trainers, and a navy shell. 
Ludwig: I'm Ludwig Von Koopa. Crown Prince of the Koopa throne, and future Baron of the Silver Plains. It's an honor to meet you, Mister Luigi. 
Luigi couldnt put his finger on it, but there was something patronizing and pompous about the way the koopa said it. In a way it reminded him of the videos he'd seen of Bowser years ago, when the fights between him and Mario were still newsworthy. 
The king of the Koopas glared at his first born, he hated that side of him.
Luigi: Nice to meet you
Bowser sighed
Bowser: I'll order a taxi
Luigi: What why?! 
Bowser: You just got here and they already tried to set fire to you. 
Luigi: And I dealt with it. Besides I want to stay
Bowser: And… wait, you want to stay? 
Luigi: Yes. 
Bowser: Why? 
Luigi: Because I just learned their names, and there's a certain cute guy with a beard who clearly needs my help. 
He winked. 
Bowser: Oh ..oh! You like the beard? 
Luigi: Yes it looks regal. Also, I just had a 5 hour flight, and I really don't want to waste all that time and effort getting here. 
Bowser: In that case i'll show you to your room mister Luigi. 
Luigi: Thank you Mister Bowser. 
The King and the Nanny walked through the corridors of the castle, past rows of portraits of former Rulers and their families, paintings of landscapes and historical events, a few paintings in various styles from artists old and new, and doors leading to various rooms, wings, or sections of the palace. 
Occasionally the King would tell something about an art piece or door they walked past, and the Nanny would nod or ask a question, which the monarch would answer. 
Eventually they reached a large door made of intricately carved door made of a red wood with black metal hinges, a black metal keyhole, and black metal doorknob. 
Bowser: This is the living wing. 
The King opened the door, and showed the green clad Nanny around.
The wing consisted of 3 floors, 4 staircases, 1 big living room,  2 small living rooms, 1 large dining room, 1 small dining room, 1 large kitchen meant for feasts attached to the main building and across from one of the conference rooms, 1 smaller kitchen meant for day to day use with direct access to the outside, 1 office, 4 bathrooms, 5 toilets, 1 large library, 1 music room, 1 inside pool, 12 bedrooms , and 4 empty rooms meant anything they needed. 
Bowser: There's two bedrooms available, one is between my room and Bowser juniors room. The other is next to the small kitchen and is currently being used as storage.
Luigi: I'll sleep next to you. 
Bowser: huh? 
Luigi: I mean in the room next to yours!
Bowser: Oh ok. 
The Suited king led the unsuited man to the available bedroom
Bowser: Lunch will be served in an hour, try to be unpacked by then. 
Luigi: Yes, Mister Bowser. 
Luigi entered the room, and was impressed by the size of the room. Though he felt it could use some personalisation. 
He sat on the bed enjoying the softness of the mattress, until he realized what he'd said. 
Luigi: I called Bowser Cute?! 
He screamed into the nearest pillow. 
Bowser looked in the mirror in his bedroom
Bowser: Regal?
He said, stroking his beard. 
Bowser: Hmm it does look regal, doesn't it? 
A smile appeared on his face.
Bowser: I think I'll keep it. For now.

THE NANNY NAMED LUIGI
CHAPTER II: Airplanes and Early mornings
Koopa Man: This is your pilot speaking. Thank you for flying Air Goomba. We should be arriving at Shadow City International Airport in just under 5 hours. The skies are relatively clear so we expect only a slight amount of turbulence. 
Luigi sighed as he stared out of the airplane window. In just 7 hours he'd be at Bowser's Castle to act as the nanny for the Koopalings and their brother Bowser Junior. He still didn't know how his brother managed to convince him to take the job. Then again he hadn't managed to get a job since he'd been fired by his fiance, so maybe he was just open to any suggestion.  
Goomba Steward: The emergency exits are located there and there. 
The goomba gestured towards the orange colored emergency exits.
The green dressed Mario brother looked around the cabin. 
There were Toads on their way to vacation. 
Business Koopas on their way home. 
Humans who would transfer to a plane headed to the Luncheon Kingdom for a wedding. 
And a few others whose goals varied from migration to a short vacation. 
As the plane's engines revved up, and the fasten seatbelt sign went on, the emerald clad human closed his eyes, hoping to get some sleep before he arrived at his destination. 
The means people used to travel in this world were as diverse as the beings that inhabited it. 
There were cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and hot air balloons. Trams, buses, trains, and blimps. There were planes, ships, koopa copters, and spaceships. There were things I had yet to mention and that most people of our world had yet to imagine. 
But of all the methods used to traverse distances, the most famous was the warp pipe. A technological marvel that could get you from A to B in a fraction of the time it took all but the fastest commercial planes. 
It was, sadly, also the least comfortable, most expensive to build, and hardest to maintain form of transportation. Which is why it was generally only built when money was no option. Such as in certain government buildings so doctors, politicians, military, aid workers, and refugees could easily get to an allied nation or a nearby province. Or temporarily in the case sporting events, or kidnappings. 
Teenage Male Koopa: GIMME THAT! 
Slightly Younger Male Koopa: NO IT'S MINE! 
Teenage Male Koopa: YOU DON'T EVEN USE IT! 
Much Younger Male Koopa: I'M TELLING DAD!
Bowser woke up like he did every morning to the sound of his children arguing over something. 
Teenage Male Koopa & Slightly Younger Male Koopa: DON'T YOU DARE!! 
Much Younger Male Koopa: DAD! 
In this case the argument was between three of his least favorite kids. 
Even Younger Male Koopa: IGGY AND LEMMY ARE FIGHTING AGAIN! 
Iggy & Lemmy: SHUT UP LARRY!
Larry started crying
Bowser: KNOCK IT OFF OR I'M SENDING YOU ALL TO BOARDING SCHOOL ON THE MOON! 
There was a moment of silence before the three brothers started laughing. 
Bowser sighed. 
He knew he wouldn't send them to boarding school, and they knew he wouldn't send them to boarding school, but at least they stopped fighting and that was all he really wanted. 
Bowser got up and looked in the mirror. After a month without Kamek's help, he looked and felt tired. He'd grown a beard, the same shade of red as his mane. Normally he'd shave it, but he felt too tired to even try to. 
He put on a white dress shirt with french cuffs and a spread collar, silver cufflinks shaped like his logo, a navy blazer with gold buttons with his logo on them , Khaki colored dress pants, white socks, brown leather dress shoes, a red silk tie in a half windsor knot, a gold pocket watch, and a forest green shell with white spikes.
Normally he'd just wear a shell and some spiked wristbands, but he had a conference in two days, so he had to get used to dressing up. 
He didn't mind the clothes, in fact they felt quite good, but in his mind he wasn't the type of guy who would wear them. Or wear a beard, or do a lot of things for that matter. 
He looked at his watch. 
Bowser: Three hours till Mario's brother gets here. I hope he lasts longer than the last one.
The king muttered to himself. 
Somewhere in the skies near the coast of the Darklands an Air Goomba plane was preparing to make its final approach to Shadow City International Airport. 
Shyguy Stewardess: Sir, wake up, we're almost at our final destination. 
Luigi: Wuh huh? 
Luigi slowly got up. 
He'd been able to sleep through most of the flight, only waking once to go to the toilet, once to stretch, and once to eat his breakfast. His breakfast consisted of an omelet with fried mushrooms and fire flower, some somewhat stale bread, an assortment of overripe fruit native to the Mushroom kingdom, and some coffee, which he'd been told was a type popular in the Darklands, and was unfortunately the best part of the meal. While it had been a bit too dark for his taste, he still enjoyed it. 
The landing had been uneventful, some passengers had clapped, but that was nothing out of the ordinary.
The lesser known Mario brother thought of his situation as he made his way through the airport. He'd met Bowser only a few times in his life, and couldn't remember the last time they'd exchanged more than a few words. Even after Bowser's wife died a few years ago, he'd only sent him a short letter offering his condolences, and never gotten a reply. And now he was on his way to babysit the man's children. 
He giggled nervously. 
The only time he'd babysat anything was his neighbor's Yoshi, and even that almost went wrong. 
He made his way to Darklands Customs and Border Protection.
Koopa Woman: Passport? 
Luigi showed his passport
Koopa Woman: Business or Pleasure?
Luigi: Business
Koopa Woman: Staying long? 
Luigi: I hope not! 
Koopa Woman: Haven't heard that in a while. 
Luigi chuckled nervously
Koopa Woman: Luigi … Mario? Huh, same last name as Mario Mario. 
Luigi: He's my brother
He smiled proudly. 
The koopa burst into laughter
Koopa Woman: Yeah right! And I'm the queen of the Darklands! 
She regained her composure
Koopa Woman: Regardless everything checks out. Welcome to the Darklands mister Mario. 
The man in green finished going through security, got his luggage, and walked outside, somewhat disheartened by what happened at customs. 
Shyguy Driver: Linguine Mario? Lugini Mario? I'm here for a Loogy Mario! 
Luigi: It's Luigi. 
Shyguy Driver: Can I see your passport ? 
The shyguy looked at it briefly 
Shyguy Driver: Looks good. Ok, get in the car. 
Luigi nodded, and got in the car. 
Shyguy Driver: Lets hope you don't end like the last ones. 
He muttered to himself. 
Time is a funny thing. Seconds can feel like minutes, minutes can feel like hours, hours can feel like days, and days can feel like years. Or in the case of one unfortunate King Bowser, ruler of the Darklands. Hours can feel like Centuries. 
Bowser looked at his watch. 
Bowser: 3 minutes till he's here. 
His children were all waiting in front of the door. 
He'd told them that he'd send them to the moon if they what they did to the last people that babysat them.
Not that it mattered, he was too tired to do anything, let alone punish them if they did what he feared they were going to do to Mario's brother . 
The doorbell rang.
Teenage Female Koopa: Ready! 
A security guard opened the door remotely
Oldest Teenage Male Koopa: Aim! 
The door opened
Second Oldest Teenage Male Koopa: FIRE! 
Bowser: NO! 
Bowser reacted too late. In unison the Koopalings blew scarlet balls of fire at their unfortunate target. 
Iggy: That was number 39! 
The crimson firestorm which wrapped around the figure in the doorway, gave way to emerald and viridian flames, behind which were intense eyes which seemed to burn with lime green fire. 
The mix of red and green fire dissipated as the man dressed in green dusted himself off. 
As he looked around the room, his composure shifted from intense anger to an equally intense nervousness
Luigi: Hello… I'm…
Bowser: The Nanny.

The Nanny Named Luigi
CHAPTER I: Help Wanted
It had been four years since the last time Bowser, the King of the Koopas, Sovereign of the Shyguys, Master of the Bullet Bills, and Ruler of all the other inhabitants of the nation known as The Darklands, had last kidnapped Princess Peach, ruler of the country known as Mushroom Kingdom. Since that time both states had entered a period best described as peaceful and prosperous. 
Koopa Woman: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! 
Well mostly peaceful. 
Koopa Woman: THAT'S IT, I'M LEAVING!! 
Bowser: Please don't. I'll do anything! 
For you see right now, the lord of the most powerful state in his world was dealing with a problem that threatened all the things that had taken him years to build up. 
Koopa Woman: NO! THERE'S NOT ENOUGH GOLD IN ROCK CANDY MINES TO MAKE ME TAKE CARE OF THOSE MONSTERS FOR ONE MORE SECOND! 
Bowser: THEY AREN'T MONSTERS! THEY'RE MY CHILDREN! 
Koopa Woman: COULD HAVE FOOLED ME! 
The problem of needing a 
Koopa Woman: OH AND IN CASE IT WASN'T CLEAR! I QUITE!! 
Nanny. 
Bowser sighed
Bowser: That's number 38. 
In the past month his kids had gone through 28 nannies, 6 babysitters, 3 guards, and 1 Smash Fighter. 
The first 5 nannies had been from an upscale agency called Golden Shell, before his family was blacklisted. The next 12 nannies had been from other upscale agencies with names like Silver Streams, Jade Mountains, and Onyx Crowns, before word got out that his kids were, as the last nanny from Ivory Rivers put it, "A royal nightmare". 
Bowser chuckled to himself.
Bowser: Big words from a nanny that didn't last half an hour.
Then again, none of them lasted more than a few hours. 
Not the 7 nannies from other countries, the last one was a Toad that ran the minute the door opened. 
Not the 6 so-called "iron willed" babysitters. 
Not the 3 guards that decided to switch retire midway through their baby sitting shifts. And not the 4 freelance nannies, the last of whom had just quit. 
The only one that had managed to last a day was Link. The Legendary Hero with more titles then he had. How that mute twink had managed to feed them, keep them entertained, and get them to bed, would remain a mystery. 
Unfortunately The hero of The Wild had been too busy to babysit for more than a day, though he had offered to do it next time he was in town. 
The other smash fighters had told him they were too busy, didn't want to be away from home that long, or just weren't interested. 
Well not all of them, there were a few he hadn't called. 
Bowser: No! I can't call them! 
But deep down he knew he had to. There was an important conference in a few days and Kamek wouldn't be back from his vacation for another week. 
Bowser sighed, picked up his phone, and dialed the number he knew by heart. 
Bowser: Mario. It's me, Bowser. It's time to cash in that favor you owe me. 
Somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom there's a small city known as Green Mushroom Valley. Its population consists of Humans. 
Humans are an odd species. As a group they're more genetically diverse than the other groups, the rather interesting result of the species being descendants of various groups of humanoid refugees from other realms, such as the Hylians, Gerudo, Chozo-humans, Kantoans, and Ylissians. As well as the native human species of the world known as Homo Astra by other worlds, due to their ability to receive incredible powers when they touch the golden stars that exist on this world. And some intermarriage with the other intelligent life forms of this world such as Toads, Koopas, and, admittedly very rarely, Boos.
Consequently the cultures of the humans are just as diverse as they are, with their many faiths reflecting this diversity. 
In this city there's a plumbing business owned by one the world famous Mario Brothers! Heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom! 
The phone rang. 
Mario picked it up
Mario: Mamma Mia, it's a me, Mario! Here to help you with all your plumbing needs! 
He relaxed upon hearing Bowser's voice. 
Mario: Oh it's you. Is this about go-karting? Because I told you I can't go this weekend i'm to…. 
The color left Mario's face upon hearing Bowser's request.
Mario:You need me to do what?! 
Mario: Yes yes I know you let me beat you at golf last week, to impress that one golf obsessed client. Yes I know I said I owed you a favor, but I…
As the words left his mouth he stared at his brother sleeping in the waiting room. In the span of a month Luigi had been dumped by his fiance, been fired by the cleaning company his Fiance owns, lost his apartment because he couldn't afford the rent, and was currently living in the guest bedroom of any friend or relative that was willing to take him and his spectral dog in. Which unfortunately meant he never stayed in one place for more than a few days, as most people couldn't handle his phantom canine for any kind of extended period of time. 
Mario: Bowser still there? How much does it pay? Does it come with room and board? 
A smile crept across the plumber's face.
Mario: No no. I'm not interested. But I'm currently looking at someone who I think would be perfect for the job. Whether he knows it or not.
