Chapter Two: Morning

Peach yawned as she woke up, feeling herself held by two strong arms in the large bed she shared with Bowser, the one holding her.

Peach, spitting out her orange hair (A/N: I prefer orange haired Peach to blonde. Orange haired Peach was actually the inspiration for Lucinda from Tale of Lucinda and this) that had fallen into her mouth, looked up at the snoring Koopa king, who had a small trail of drool emitting from his mouth. Peach had her own drool, but it was smaller by comparison.

"Mommy, Daddy!" Lucinda burst in, jumping on Peach and Bowser. "There's a bunch of weirdos outside! They're big! Me no wanna see them!"

"Huh?" Peach asked, confused in her sleepy state. She shook Bowser, who roused himself with a large growl.

"What?" He said in his gravelly voice. "I'm tired, babe."

"Lucinda says there's a bunch of weirdos outside." Peach said.

"Oh, dammit." Bowser muttered. "I told Clawdia that I wasn't gonna watch her brats cuz I got the wife over."

"Well, you know your sister." Peach muttered.

"Yeah, those brats are as annoying as she is." Bowser growled. "I'm gonna go ship 'em off to Giant Land, see how long they last."

"Okay!" Lucinda grinned. "Me fly with Paratroopas?"

"Maybe we'll get you a set of wings later." Bowser chuckled. It was shocking to see a human use Paratroopa wings, but Lucinda wasn't exactly a full human.

"I wanna show mommy my tricks!" Lucinda grinned wide.

"I'd love to see them." Peach pat Lucinda, who grinned wider.

"Now, let's go tell those brats to get lost." Bowser said, getting up.

"fine by me." Peach giggled, letting Bowser pick her up.

"Why there a cage in the throne room?" Lucinda asked.

"Cage?" Peach asked. "That was supposed to be in the dungeon."

"One of the Goomba guards wanted to show me how it worked." Bowser chuckled. "He was so enthusiastic I couldn't say no. I'll move it later."

"Alright." The princess, er, queen said, hopping down to the ground. "Lucinda, where's your sister?"

"Gettin' Koopa Puffs!" Lucinda said. "I want some!"

"Later, dear." Peach said. "For now, let's go see our guests."

The royals walked past the kitchen to see a girl who had scaly skin and flaming red hair eating some cereal. She was older than Lucinda by at least three years, having blue eyes as well.

"Coco, you know your sister would want some." Peach said.

"I can make my own bowl." Coco said. "She can't, so she has to ask you."

"True." Peach said. "So, how are you?"

"I'm good." Coco said, getting up and hugging Peach. "What about you?"

"I have been as well." Peach hugged her back. "I missed both of you as well as your father."

"You know, you could just live here all the time." Coco said.

"It's not that simple." Peach said. "War is a complicated thing to try and predict and this could cause it. It's not so hard, actually."

"If that plumber tries to get another kiss, I'll plunger his face off." Bowser flexed his muscles.

"I wanna help too!" Lucinda said eyes wide with excitement.

"We'll see." Peach said.

"I wanna fight!" Lucinda grinned.

"Then, go fight with old haggy." Bowser chuckled.

"You know she hates when you call her that." Peach looked at her husband.

"Why do you think I calling her that?" Bowser flashed his trademark grin.

"You're so evil." Peach said in a teasing tone.

"Darn right!" Bowser flexed once again. "You know you love it, babe."

"Oh, I sure do." Peach's face turned a bit red. "We have two children after all."

"Yep." Bowser said. "Two kids that learned all they know from me. Except Lucinda. She learned it all from you."

"Did not." Peach pouted.

"Did too." Bowser said."

"I didn't teach her that." Peach said.

"Sure you didn't." Bowser chuckled. "Well, let's see what we can do before my sister's brats show up."

"You can tell your parents to start casting obedience spells on our children." Peach giggled.

"They both tried." Bowser chuckled. "Kamek and old haggy can't seem to control their rebellious spirits."

"I see." Peach giggled. "Well, it seems we've done all we can. If Kamek and Kammy can't, then no one can."

"What if we gave them to a Bob-Omb family?" Bowser asked as the two girls ran off.

"What happens when Lucinda and Coco's fire magic emerges?" Peach asked.

"Who's to say they have fire magic?" Bowser asked. "They may get all your lame, girly magic."

"True." Peach said. "Hey!"

"You know it's true." Bowser chuckled. "Most of it is hearts and gushy stuff."

"Sleep spells are not girly." Peach pouted. "Kamek uses sleep spells."

"He doesn't make hearts appear when he does." Bowser chuckled again.

"Well, let's make sure our little bundles of joy are behaving." Peach said.

"I bought a belt just in case." Bowser smirked.

"I'm sure it's not that bad." Peach said.

"Depends on the day." Bowser said.

"True." Peach said. "I guess it does. So, when were Clawdia's children coming here?"

"Today sometime." Bowser said. "As long as they don't break my stuff, I don't care when."

"I see." Peach said. "Should we clean the rooms up for them?"

"Not like they wouldn't just mess them up again." Bowser said.

"True." Peach said. "Well, let's just sit and wait for them to arrive at the door."

"Right." Bowser nodded as the two sat down on their respective thrones once they entered the throne room. In her red dress with orange sash, Peach didn't resemble a Mushroom Kingdom monarch, a princess of quiet authority, but rather a Koopa Kingdom monarch, a queen of strong firm grace.

"Sires!" a Koopa guard walked in, bowing. "The guests have arrived."

Bowser and Peach stood up, walking to the entrance of the castle to see the seven Koopa children, each one vastly different than the rest.

"This is not gonna be fun." Bowser sighed. "Well, come on in, Koopalings. We welcome you here."

I wonder how this visit from the Koopalings will go. Find out soon.
