'''The Empty Nests''' is a [[List of Mario & Luigi: Brothership side quests|side quest]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. In this quest, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] must visit [[Burnadette]] and [[Chilliam]]'s dads since the couple's recent wedding.

==Side quest==
Mario and Luigi must travel to Heatfreeze Island and speak with Burnadette and Chilliam at the center of the town plaza. The newlywed couple is thrilled but worried about their fathers, who are alone on two different islands. Burnadette first asks the brothers to check on [[Burnadette's dad|her dad]] on [[Skorcheen Island]].

Upon arriving at Skorcheen Island, Mario and Luigi head west across the bridge to speak with Burnadette's dad. He shares a flashback about his daughter's "rebellious phase" when she was annoyed by his flatulence caused by his favorite food, Heatfreeze Potatoes. In the present, Burnadette's dad comments on how much Burnadette has grown since then and asks Mario and Luigi to encourage her to visit him sometimes. He also requests that they check in on [[Chilliam's dad]] on [[Slippenglide Island]], as he seemed upset at the wedding.

Once on Slippenglide Island, Mario and Luigi head northeast to speak with Chilliam's dad. Chilliam's dad explains that he struggled to develop a good pun. In a flashback, it is revealed that he taught Chilliam the importance of punning as a ruler and had him practice; however, he realized that he wasn't very good at punning himself. In the present, he asks the brothers to tell Chilliam to focus on his new life and making his wife happy.

After speaking with both dads, Mario and Luigi return to Heatfreeze Island to inform Burnadette and Chilliam that their fathers are fine, easing their concerns. Chilliam praises them for their wisdom as they age, and Burnadette thanks the brothers, knowing that she and Chilliam will live a happy life together. Chilliam rewards the brothers with a wedding party gift before they part ways.
