Toadsworth, he is a busy old castle steward and he is always on time. Sometimes all good things have to come to a stop. It was a sunny day at the Castle Office and Toadsworth and Blue were working fast. It was early morning and the castle was starting a busy day. The fax machines were buzzing and the phone rang constantly.
Toadsworth began to cough and Blue looked at him jokingly.
"Time to retire old chap" he laughed.
"No, no I'm in good health I have been working for 45 years I can't give up now," said Toadsworth.
He walked out of the office a bit worried but soon forgot about it. In the Library, Toad was organizing books on the shelves. Toadsworth came in with a box of files when he tripped and fell.
"Time for retirement" laughed Toad.
Toadsworth sighed and picked up his files and upstairs in the Boutique. Peach, Toadette, and Toadsworth were helping Peach pick out a dress.
"I like that dress," said Toadette.
"Yes it looks very modern Princess," said Toadsworth.
"Thank You Toadsworth have you thought of re-" said Peach.
"NO NOT A RETIREMENT," said Toadsworth cutting her off.
"Oh dear, not retirement what's wrong I was asking about redecoration," said Peach.
"Oh I'm sorry your highness it's just some of my younger co-workers have reminded me of my age," said Toadsworth.
"Have they?" said Peach.
The next morning Toadsworth was nowhere to be found and Toad and Blue looked for him frantically. Princess Peach was sleeping in late when suddenly the door burst open.
"Toadsworth is lost" screamed Toad.
"GET THE ARMY, AIR FORCE OR THE MARINES" screamed Blue.
"Toadsworth is not gone he is on break today," said Peach.
"No I need files and spreadsheets done," said Blue.
"I need a Schedule for events," said Toad.
"You 2 have made fun of Toadsworth and toyed with retirement and it's time for you two to get adapted because Toadsworth will retire soon," said Peach coldly.
The door slammed shut and Toad heard the bell ring downstairs. At the door, a Toad with a huge box waited and Toad opened the door.
"Delivery for the Princess," he said.
Toad signed the clipboard and dragged the huge box inside and didn't know what to do. In the office, papers were piling from the fax machines. While the phone rang constantly in the foyer Toad didn't know how to get Peach's Bathroom supplies upstairs. He began to drag the box upstairs when a tiny hole started forming on the bottom. Suddenly his Walkie Talkie went off.
"TOAD I NEED YOU TO BRING ME MY BOX OF New Summer Towels" screamed Peach.
Toad tried responding when suddenly he tripped and downstairs shampoo bottles, soap, lotion and other items went everywhere.
"Oh dear," said Toad.
He tried picking up the supplies when his walkie-talkie rang again.
"NOW I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY" screamed Peach.
In the office, papers started covering the floor and Blue was holding 6 phones at the same time. In Peach's room, she was waiting when Toad dragged in a huge box.
"Thank You anyway the Postal Service informed me my Bathroom Package from Luxury Body and more has arrived where is it," said Peach.
"Um, do you get refunds on Broken Items," said Toad sheepishly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN" screamed Peach loudly.
Outside the castle, dust shook off and birds stormed away. Toad meanwhile ran out of the room. Downstairs the mess was left and the doorbell rung and Toad opened it.
"Package-"
Toad slammed the door and the Postal Toad grumbled off.
The day soon turned to night and it was 10PM and Toad and Blue were working hard. In the office, the pile of papers started reaching the desk and Toad was running around helping the Princess and others. Suddenly his Walkie Talkie rang and Toad gasped.
"Help needed in the Power Room." screamed a voice.
Toad ran downstairs in the basement and walked into the office and saw the Power Machine letting off smoke. Toad frantically moved cables and moved buttons when suddenly he screamed.
"WHY WON'T YOU WORK" he screamed.
He smashed the machine with a huge textbook and the Castle went dark. Inside the Office, papers stopped popping out the Fax Machines and the phone calls cut off. In Peach's room, she gasped as the power cut off.
Peach ran downstairs and saw a huge mess and realized the punishment had gone too far. The next morning Blue and Toad were standing in front of the Princess cowering.
"I know both of you still need a job so I won't fire you," said the Princess "Making fun of another employee is wrong and rude I expected better from you 2 next time the consequences will be very severe"
The next morning Toadsworth came back to work and Toad and Blue were quite relieved and no one ever questioned Toadsworth's usefulness again.
