Chapter 1: Ludwig's Classic Care

Kamek was overjoyed for his new promotion…sort of. While Bowser set off to capture Princess Peach, Kamek was in charge of babysitting his first son, Ludwig Von Koopa.

Ludwig toddled over to Kamek, his wide, blue eyes shining in his toddler form.

"Ka…mek?" asked the young prince. "Where…ish…da-da?"

Kamek, almost fainting from cuteness, answered, "Why, he has to go somewhere."

"Oh…" said Ludwig sadly. "Me want da-da back…"

"It's okay, little one. I will take care of you till your Daddy comes home," comforted Kamek, and sent Ludwig off to the playroom, where the prince spent the next twenty minutes fiddling with his toy piano. Despite how young he was, Ludwig was prodigy and an absolute genius on the piano. This would be why Bowser had high expectations for him. He was playing Ludwig Van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, "Emperor."

Apparently, it wasn't long until Kamek heard the piano stop its flowing music, and the prince utter a soft cry. Worried, he rushed over to the toddler to see what was wrong.

"Me made some-theeng…" yelped Ludwig, clutching his diaper. He looked up to Kamek anxiously, his massively huge eyes brimming with tears, an obvious reaction to show that he needed the Magikoopa's help dearly.

"Well, I will get that fixed right up," said Kamek.

He took the child to the royal toddler's changing room, and closed a curtain for the child's privacy. He began to open his diaper, and went to work. Ludwig, suddenly interested, lifted his head and watched as the Magikoopa set to work.

Kamek removed the dirty diaper, cleaned Ludwig's bottom, and fastened a new one.

"There…all better," sighed Kamek. "But now, it's time for your dinner bottle!"

The old Magikoopa waved his wand, and a bottle full of fresh and warm milk was set next to the prince, who was already in his highchair. Ludwig immediately took it in his scrawny little hands, and drank greedily. He burped, and yawned drowsily, his scrawny little hands rising in the air, and slowly descending to his plump little face.

"Looks like it's time for your nap," chuckled Kamek.

He set the young toddler prince in his crib, and played the mobile. The sweet and soothing melody of the song slowly dozed the prince into sweet slumber, sighing contently in his high pitched, squeaky voice. Kamek looked dearly at he prince, his enormous eyes slowly closing, as his grip on his teddy Koopa began to loosen.

"Good night, my prince," whispered Kamek as he turned off the light and closed the door.

"Nite-nite, Ka-mek," murmured the baby Koopaling, droning his final yawn, before he drifted off to sleep.


A/N: Well, I certainly made a long day very short indeed. Chapter two will come in the summer, unfortunately, and I'll try to update my other story. Check out my bio, and stay for more!
