9:00 A.M.
The alarm clock rang loudly. Bowser screams, then bludgeons the alarm clock until it stops ringing. Bowletta fell out of bed and screams. "C'mon! It's like... I don't know... like 4:00 in the morning!" "Um... you might wanna check your... 'watch' again. It's nine in the morning." Deciding it's time to go and explore daytime Tokyo, they pull out their disguises, ready to be worn. As Bowser put his gloves on the bed, he says to Bowletta "You know when Hiretsuna told us she knew who we were?" "Yeah?" "What do you think she meant when she said 'I know a thing or two about secrets?' It makes it sound like she's got a secret, too." Bowletta shrugs and puts her coat on her bed. "Everyone has secrets." Bowser snickers and asks "Oh, if that's true, then what's your secret?" Bowletta stops and drops her hat and gauze. "... You wouldn't want to know." "No, tell me. I'm so interested." Bowletta thinks of her feelings for Rookie. She turns around, and asks him "Well, what's your secret?" Bowser stays silent for a few moments and says "Nah, forget I even asked..." They call Hiretsuna next door and ask her to pick up breakfast for them. She replies "Hai.", Japanese for yes. They hear her door open, then close. Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Bowser looked through the peephole. Sure enough, it was Hiretsuna, with a bag containing their breakfasts. Bowser quickly ushers Hiretsuna into the room. She smiles happily. "So, this is what the Great Koopa King looks like?" "Yup. Enjoy it while you can. We're still going to have to put the disguises on." Bowletta groans, despite already knowing that. Bowser pulls the styrofoam containers out of the bag. Bowletta opens hers and digs in without even asking Hiretsuna what it was. "Mmmm... what is this? This is epicness as food!" "Well, they were still giving out dinner foods, and you wouldn't want to miss out on that! That's soba and udon." "Ohhhhh... I don't know what that is." Bowser rolls his eyes and says "It's fancy salt noodles mixed with fancy wheat noodles." "Oh. I totally didn't know that." She nearly swallows the container eating her early dinner. Hiretsuna didn't have enough time to tell her that it wasn't heated up. "Ooo, I wonder what I got!" Bowser opens his container. There was a fat, spiny fish in there. "Oh, gee, I get the toxic fish while Bowletta gets the fancy noodle mix?" "Don't worry, the chefs here have gone through about fifteen years of training to make sure that the fugu is perfectly safe to eat."
Bowser eyes the fugu and takes a bite. "It's good, but it makes my lips tingle a bit. Is that good, or should we call a hospital?" "No, it's supposed to do that. That's why it's so famous here. Pufferfish is prepared so precisely, they leave just a bit of toxin so it makes your lips tingle." "THEY LEFT TOXIN IN THERE?!"He jumps up and starts to scream and run around, freaking out about how he ate poison. Bowletta finished her noodles and she holds the empty container up. "Is there more fancy noodles?" she says, ignoring Bowser's spaz attack. Hiretsuna just stares at the duo. She laughs and says "Do you two always act like this?! Stop it, you're killing me! Hahahaha!" Bowser stop running and stares at her. "I think this poison is KILLING ME!" Hiretsuna laughs and walks out of the door. "Alright, you two get your stuff on, we have a lot to see today!" She walks down the short distance to her door, still laughing. Bowletta says to Bowser "I don't see what's so funny about us." Bowser looks at her and says "I think I'm color-blind now." "That's great for you buddy, now let's get dressed."
They had their disguises ready, so they went outside their room and knocked on Hiretsuna's door. She came out with a gym bag in her hand. "Um... what are you doing with that?" "Oh, just in case," she says nonchalantly. "What is it? Antivenom for my food poisoning?" Bowser asks, a little angry at Hiretsuna for giving him food poisoning. "Kuppa-san, you are being paranoid. Lots of people get paranoid when they eat fugu. It's natural to freak over every little symptom after eating fugu." "If you ask me, it's pretty stupid to serve death on a silver platter to people." "Enough, paranoid-san. Let's go out and see Tokyo." "I wonder if we can get more of that soda stuff!" "Uh, no. there is no way you are having soda today, and it's pronounced 'soba', anyway." "Whatever. I don't speak Japanese. I speak Canadian." "I apologize for Bowletta's stupidity. She's convinced the official language of Canada is Japanese." Hiretsuna cracks up. "Stop it! You guys are too funny! I'm gonna die of laughter if I hang out with you guys any longer! Hahahahaha!" "What's so funny about us? I mean, really?"
They walk outside and it was a drastic difference in atmosphere. Instead of quiet or the mumbling of someone talking to a bellhop, there was teens chatting on phones in Japanese, cars honking, a pop song playing from a video billboard on a building. It was like a Japanese version of New York City. "Ooo! Look, it's Hatsune Miku!" Bowletta points to an electronic billboard. There was the blue haired pop star was advertising a car. "Man, people have weird cars here." Bowser says. He's seen a normal car before, but these were tiny. "Those are smart cars. They use less gas and other eco-friendly stuff." "Less gas? My car needs gas every hundred miles. One time I fell in the ocean because of it." Bowletta slaps her hand over his mouth. "Shut up about your sob stories. I wanna hear the song." She bobs her head to the beat and starts to dance. "Bowletta?" "Yeah-huh?" "Do you know why we are wearing these stupid costumes?" "Yeah, so we don't grab attention." "Do you know what you're doing?" "Dancing." "No, you're grabbing ATTENTION! Quit dancing!" She stops and puts her hands in her pockets. "Meh."
The sidewalks were extremely crowded that day. People were walking closely each other, constantly bumping into random strangers. Bowser didn't like it. He felt claustrophobic and it gave someone a good chance to see who he and Bowletta really were. An obnoxious teen was standing right behind Bowser. Bowser was over 200 pounds, and was about six or seven feet tall, so it seemed he was moving slower than everyone else. The teen tried to shove Bowser further in front of her, but to no avail. "Hey! Big, Tall, and Ugly! Move it! You're going as slow as a turtle! Speed it up!" Bowser stops in his tracks and turns around. "You got something against turtles?" "Hey, man, get out of my face!" "Take back what you said!" "Said about what?" "Turtles! You think turtles are slow?" "Dude, it's a fact turtles are slow! They have brains the size of walnuts!" "Take it back! And for your information, I'm sure my brain is the size of a large football, thank you very much!" "What the heck are yo- Wait, I know that voice." "Oh, no." "OMG! It's Kuppa-sama! It's really him!" When all of her friends hear her yelling "Kuppa" over and over and pointing to the masked character, they whip the public into a frenzy. They tear at Bowser's disguise until they see his face. Then they freak out even more. They start yelling his name over and over, bringing more onlookers to the scene. They realize that Bowletta was most likely a famous character traveling along with him. They tear her costume away until they see her for who she really is. Bowletta, not aware of Bowser's Japanese name asks "A cup of what?" "That's my name in Japanese! It's pronounced 'kuppa'!" She gasps excitedly and asks "What's my name in Japanese?!" "It's Gerakuppa!" "Hey everybody! It's us! Kuppa and Gerakuppa! Here in the living hide!" Bowser, trying to pry away from the crowd's grip, yells out for Hiretsuna. "Hiretsuna?! Hiretsuna?! Are you there?!" The ginger had disappeared into the crowd. "She abandoned us at the first chance!" Bowser fumes to himself. The crowd was about to swallow them when...
Yuki and Tadese were going on a trip to Yuki's aunt's place in Tokyo. Kitsune and Daichi came along to make sure Yuki and Tadese don't screw anything up while they're in Tokyo. Daichi reluctantly brought Daizo, his little brother along. They were walking on the streets when they saw a mound of people crowding around something. "Look, a buncha' peoples! Whaddare they lookin' at?" Daizo points out. Daichi picks up Daizo and they casually walk over to the crowd. "I can't see what's got them so hyped up," says Kitsune. Daichi puts Daizo on his head to act as a periscope. He sees a turtle-esque guy and girl in the middle of the crowd. "There's turtle people in da buncha' peoples!" "Turtle people?" Kitsune asks. "What do you mean by 'turtle people'?" The turtle guy makes his way almost out of the crowd and asks them for help in Japanese. The group looked at each other and said to him "We all speak English, you know." He starts screaming to them in English. "Hey! You random kids! Can you tell these nut jobs to lay off of us?! They're not listening to us!" Yuki pushes people aside to reach the center of the dogpile, as the others follow. They push all the people away about two feet. The turtle guy and girl were still crouching, fearing to torn apart by the fanatics. When the crowd was ready to retaliate, a purple figure dropped from the sky. It was a female, with similar-looking ginger hair and a purple ninja suit, and a katana blade in her hand. She said something in Japanese, then translated it to: "Everybody step away from Kuppa-san and Gerakuppa-san!" Everybody seemed to recognize her and they quickly left as quickly as they came. The ninja shook "Kuppa's" hand and said "Kon'nichiwa. I am the Ginger Ninja."
