Today was a very special day in Dark Land. Today was the day that Bowser, the great Koopa King, was given birth. It was also the day Kamek had found him, and raised the Koopa child to be the evil king he is today. Every minion that Bowser ever had used against the Mario Brothers, were making a ruckus in the Bowser Theater. That is, all except seven elite members, who were all meeting in an airship. Ludwig's airship, to be precise. They were all having a meeting about this special day, and what the should do for their leader. Mostly so they can be promoted and be "family" again.

"Alright, we need to get the boss a present he can't refuse!" Ludwig ordered. He was standing on a large podium that reached to the balcony. Lemmy, who was the runt of the elite group, raised his hand, waving it around. "Ooh! Ooh! I know what we should give the boss!" He squeaked.

One of the three strong members of the group, Roy, who had been leaning against the wall, with his arms crossed, glared at Lemmy. "No, Lemmy. We will not give him a bouncy ball or a snowman for his birthday. He already got those huge snow statues of him two years ago!"

Then a tall, lean, green haired koopa with glasses dashed into the room, wheeling in a chalkboard with him. "I know what we should get the boss!" He spoke really fast. He then flipped the chalkboard over to reveal a present, which had an equal sign to a chemical that will make Bowser strong.

"The boss will surely defeat Mario once he gets a load of this!" Iggy chuckled as he rolled on the ground, laughing as if he was deranged. Wendy O' Koopa, the only female of the mostly male group, walked in the room, and smacked Iggy across the face. "GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, YOU DERANGED FREAK!"

Morton Koopa Jr. blabbered on about birthdays, and of the many gifts Bowser should recieve. "I think the boss should get a rocket, a biiig rocket, that will shoot up to 250 feet in the air, and explode into millions of fireworks! I also think he should get a dog, but I just remembered: I'm afrrraid of dogs! Did you know one tried to bite me in the a.."

"MORTON!"

Lemmy asked, "What was Morton going to say?" Then he said, sobbing, "Is it something bad?"

Wendy, who usually took care of Lemmy, said in a soothing voice, "No, Morton was not going to say anything bad. Because if he does, he's going to receive a lot of dogs for his birthday." She then grinned evilly, "Which is coming real soon."

Morton looked at her, and looked away with a scared expression. He then turned around and saw Larry, hitting a tennis ball against the wall with his spiked tennis racket. "What do you want to give the boss, Larry? Please don't give him a bowling ball or anything lame like that!..."

"Shut up, Morton!" Larry piped, "And I'm thinking of getting him a bunch of coins this year. And where could we get a lot of coins?"

"The Mushroom Kingdom Treasury!" Larry's brothers and sister shouted in agreement.

Ludwig started up the airship. "Well, I think we all know what we're going to give the boss for his birthday this year. Mushroom Kingdom Treasury, here we come!"

The flying airship with Ludwig's head on the front then flew off in the distance. It was going to be a very happy birthday indeed.


Meanwhile, Bowser was in the bathtub, taking a very long morning bath. From there, he heard a lot of yelling and shouting coming from each corridor of the castle.

"Something tells me this won't be a happy day for me." The Koopa King growled, "Not a happy day..."
