BEFORE BEGINNING: Let me say that this is based on the earlier Bowser Junior Exercises story, with Craig the Hammer Bro. making a reappearance. I do not own the Mario series or any of its characters, they belong to Nintendo.


Bowser was bored, sitting on his bed. He watched his favorite soap opera, The Toad Doctor, a series about an adult Toad doctor with his nurse girlfriend solving diseases and cases. A commercial break came on for the grand opening of a new mall. They call it the Mushroom Mall these days. It used to be named Toad's Mall, but still.

As photos of the mall's exterior and interior came up on the screen, a voiceover introduced the commercial. "Introducing the Mushroom Mall, a brand new place for shoppers, customers and business workers alike. The Grand Opening is today at 3PM, and everyone is welcome!"

Bowser gasped. "The Mushroom Mall?" he suddenly exclaimed, "And everyone is welcome?! I gotta go there today!"

Just as he said this, the voiceover exclaimed, "Anyone but Bowser can come." He facepalmed right away, and said, "I kidnap the princess multiple times, and I have a freaking army of Goombas and Koopas, and they just WON'T let me come?!" He sighed.

"Gotta let someone come there," he explained just as he realized who can come.

Meanwhile, Bowser Junior was playing four-player chess with his friends, Craig the Hammer Bro., Chevy the Goomba and Kenny the Koopa Troopa. "Checkmate," Junior said as he won, having green-colored pieces as Craig had blue-colored pieces, Chevy had brown and Kenny had yellow. "How could I even have played this game?" Chevy asked, "I don't have any arms!" Chevy didn't move any of his pieces. Bowser suddenly came calling Junior's name, startling the four of them.

"What, Dad?!" Junior started.

"OK, the Mushroom Mall is having a grand opening today," Bowser then replied, "And they said anyone can come BUT ME! Anyone but ME! So I want you to come to the mall, and go have a blast OK?"

"G-Go to the mall?" Junior asked, "But you didn't say I was going to have adult supervision!"

"He does have a point, Bowser," Craig said, "But some teenagers, like me, are allowed to hang out at malls by themselves. I can protect him, isn't that right Kenny?"

"Yeah," Kenny nodded, "I'm 13, and he is 14 and a half. Junior and Chevy are 10 years old."

"Alright, Craig and Kenny," Bowser continued, "you go bring Junior and Chevy along for the ride, and I'm not going to miss my favorite TV soap opera."

"He's a bit weird," Craig whispered to Kenny.

"OK, Dad, I'll see you later!" Junior said as he and his friends packed up the checkerboard and left.

"Alright, bye," Bowser replied before going back to his room.


Craig and Kenny carried Junior and Chevy outside to call for a taxi. "Are you sure you can do this yourself?" Junior asked, "My dad usually calls for a taxi because he says I'm not responsible and old enough."

"Of course I am," Craig replied, "I'm the oldest of the group."

Just as he was saying this, he was raising his hand for a taxi which came in front of them. Kenny opened the back door, and he went in along with the rest of the group.

The taxi cab, a middle-aged Toad, asked "Where?".

"The new Mushroom Mall please," Craig said, "it's having the grand opening today."

"Alright," the taxi cab replied. "That'll be 15 coins."

Kenny had 30 coins given to him from his dad, and he paid the cab with his change.

"I can't wait!" Junior exclaimed as the taxi drove away from Bowser's castle.


I hope you appreciate this!
