A/N: You've all probably heard the news that Nintendo's COO Reggie Fils-Aimé is retiring. Here's how the Mario characters are taking the news.
Disclaimer: All Mario characters belong to Nintendo. Real-world people such as Reggie and Shigeru Miyamoto will be mentioned but will not actually appear as per the Fanfiction rules.
Without further ado, let us begin...
Needless to say, it was another beautiful day in the Mushroom Kingdom. For once, they were no princess-kidnapping calls to respond to.
"Mail call!"
For years, Mario knew that these words could bring an immediate change to his day. Today, however, would be no different. Mario ran out to the mailbox and opened a letter from...
"Rosalina?" Mario mused.
"Dear Mario,
It is with great regret that our real-world COO Reggie Fils-Aimé has announced his retirement. He will be replaced by a Mr. Bowser (I did not quite catch his first name.) He will do us proud.
May the stars shine down on you...
Rosalina"
"...So Bowser plans to become the COO of Nintendo, eh?" Mario said. "I think he's just crossed the line. I need to stop him."
Little did Mario know that Bowser had received the same letter.
"They what?!" Bowser exclaimed in his excitement.
"What does Nintendo request of you, Your Unruliness?" asked Kamek.
Bowser stood up and leaped around the room, something he never usually did. "They want me to replace Reggie!"
"Now, Lord Bowser, I don't think-"
"Don't care! Gotta go!" Bowser ran up to his room to prepare for his departure.
Kamek sighed. Once you told Bowser good news, there was absolutely no stopping him...
Just then Bowser Jr. entered the room. "What's going on, Kamek?" he asked.
Kamek responded by handing him the letter they had received. Am moment later, Bowser Jr. became excited.
"You know what this means, Kamek?" he exclaimed. "We get the ultimate chance to defeat Mario! Just think of all the possibilities!"
"I am," Kamek responded, "and it's not pretty."
Bowser returned in his Odyssey wedding tux. "Sorry I took so long; I had a difficult time choosing between this outfit and my Super Paper Mario wedding outfit."
"Actually, Your Hastiness, you were rather quick."
"Well that's good," Bowser combed his hair while throwing other things onto a suitcase. "You know me; I never want to be late. Son, get my Clown Copter ready!"
"Yes, Dad!"
As Bowser Jr. ran off, Kamek turned to Bowser.
"Aren't you overreacting a little bit, Lord Bowser?" he asked, concerned.
"Overreacting? Not at all! This is the height of my career! In fact, for all I care, I'll be getting a new career! The Koopa Kingdom will be greater than ever!"
"So... when do you depart?"
"ASAP!" he called behind him as he ran out the door. Kamek facepalmed. Things were about to be very wrong...
A/N: And there's the first chapter! When I heard that Doug Bowser is replacing the Regginator as Nintendo's COO, I saw the last name and knew I had to write a fanfiction. Now I've seen art about this coincidence, but I think I'm the first to write a fanfiction about it.
Until next time, everybody, do the Mario!
