Mario hummed as was baking pancakes in the middle of the night, whistling to himself as several knocks were made on his door.

"Wha... what the? Who could that be...?" Mario gawked as he moved away from the stove, opening the green door, only to be punched in the face by Bowser.

"Gwa ha ha! Didn't expect that, did you Mario?" Bowser taunted boastfully as he folded his burly arms. "I totally got you off guard!"

Mario groaned in pain as he was kneeling on the ground, his arms around his stomach. "Oooh... mamma mia... why did you punch me in the face, you big fat jerk?"

Bowser laughed as he picked up Mario, poking the Italian plumber in the nose with his right index finger. "Because, I love making a fool out of you, that's why!" He replied with a jerkish laugh.

Toadette yawned as she emerged out of Mario's bed, wearing her pink pajamas as she rubbed her right eye with her right hand. "Hey Mario... are those pancakes ready yet...?" She asked with a loud yawn.

Opening her eyes further, Toadette gasped in shock as see saw Bowser slapping Mario around with giant pancakes, the red capped plumber not feeling anything in his body.

"I knew that I should have made a batch specifically for Bowser earlier..." Mario moaned to himself as he was barely conscious.

Dry Bowser and Petey Piranha watched from a set of bushes nearby, chuckling as they kept to themselves.

"That Italian idiot doesn't know when to expect the unexpected," Dry Bowser commented as he rolled his right skeletal hand.

Petey mumbled in agreement as he began chucking maple syrup coated pancakes down his mouth, with Dry Bowser continuing to watch Mario get pummeled by the sweet, fluffy flapjacks.
