A/N: Hey guys. So to whoever's reading, now we introduce POV change. Also, for those of you who noticed, I changed the title and summary. Just felt better to me, made more sense for the story. Anyway, here's a shorter chapter. Mainly follows Darklands. Enjoy! Oh, and thanks for lilEminem for reviewing, go first reviewer. And I forgot this last time, Disclaimer: All I own so far is Forest Village, Fawn, Cult, and Robin. Everything else is Nintendo.


Chapter 2: Busy Darkland day

Fawn

We drove in silence for a long time. I think Peach and Mario tried to call to me, but the wind drowned them out, so it wasn't enough to call my attention. I think I heard Cult laugh and yell, "Don't try now, she's long gone at this point!"

I didn't want to talk to anyone. The scenery had changed to a grassy plain. I had never seen such a plain, pretty field! It was the stuff in my dreams, and as such I was content to just daydream in the pleasant sun.

We drove in silence a little longer, until I heard someone calling out my name. But the voice was lowered by the wind, and I was to far in to my daydream to pay attention right away.

"Hey...Listen! Hey listen!"

Yes Navi, I'm listening, you don't need to say it over and over again.

"Fawn!"

I finally looked down at Peach, the owner of the voice. "You don't pay attention much, do you?" She said wearily.

I blushed and looked away. "Uh...sorry..."

Peach shook her head and yelled, "It's fine! We'll get there soon!"

I nodded vaguely and began to drift off again. I heard someone yell, "Mamma mia, she's a total space cadet-a!"


Bowser

I was sitting in the courtyard, on the black obsidian among the purple grass. I was holding her in my arms, my snout and hands in her golden hair, breathing in it's lovely fragrance. I took my head away for just a second to look upon her. My eyes instantly locked on to her shoulders. Her dress had carelessly slipped off it, revealing her shoulders and clavicles. I gulped and looked at her face. I absorbed her perfect, slightly angular features, and noticed her smile, a smile of longing. A smile just for me.

I grinned crookedly, knowing she wanted it as much as me. I even heard her voice calling for me. "Bowser... Bowser..." She called sweetly.

I shivered at the sound of her voice. Waiting no longer, I plunged my lips toward hers. But when I did, everything turned white. I saw the silhouette of a single girl standing in front of me. "BOWSER!"

I bolted upright, panting. I turned to my right and saw Kamek, grinning. "Finally awake?" He asked

"Argh..." I groaned, putting my head in my hands.

"Time to wake up sire. You've got a big day ahead of you, so you need to wake up now."

"Damn it Kamek!" I roared. "You ruined my dream again! Ugh, I'm sick of this!"

Kamek frowned in thought and asked, "Did you dream of that girl again?"

"Yeah, cuz YOU keep on interrupting my sleep!"

"I don't know..." Kamek said thoughtfully. "Maybe you're sub consciousness is trying to tell you something..."

"It ain't trying to tell me JACK SHIT!" I bellowed, knowing where this was going. "GET OUT!"

Kamek chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. But be at your throne room so I can brief on today's plans."

I grunted in response. With that, Kamek walked out of my room, leaving me to myself. I sat in bed for a bit longer before groaning and rolling out of bed. I walked out of my room and in to my bathroom. The tiles were all black obsidian tile, with a dark red toilet and sink, with my insignia on top of my mirror on the wall.

Yeah...badass. I walked to the giant black tile bathtub/shower. I took off my briefs and threw them to the side before entering the tub. I closed the curtains and turned the shower on. It blasted out scalding hot water that only my leathery man scales could take.

I sat there, sitting in the hot water. My mind began to drift off, thinking about what my next sure fire plan was.

Hmm...I could lock Mario in the skyship. Or maybe I should throw him in to a painting again...woah wait. I could put him in the skyship...inside a painting...that's inside a painting! Woah, that's some inception right there. Peach is going to love that...

I began to fantasize about Peach, about my dream, when the silhouette popped up in my head on accident. I growled.

Stupid dreams...can't let me be happy even there. I need to see Peach again, it's been a month!

With that resolution, I realized a good deal of time had passed. I quickly washed myself up and turned off the water. I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked out in to my room.

My room had a similar design to my bathroom. It was a big room, the floor made of black obsidian tiles, with the walls and ceiling being rock, to look like a cave. There was a fireplace, a bay window with red satin curtains, a dresser, two nightstand a next to my king sized bed with red satin sheets, a dresser, a closet, a large mirror, two red plush chairs, and a plasma TV on the wall. I grinned and thought, This has got to be the most badass, manly room in the world.

I walked to my closet and picked out a pair of boxers and a shell. I slipped the shell on and walked to the mirror. I grinned at the reflection. My flame red hair was a shock on top of my ferocious, chiseled face. I stood at my imposing six-five, with my giant, spiked shell only adding to the image, I was the epitome of bad ass. Grinning, I walked out of my room. I walked through the cobblestone halls, ignoring my subject's bows as I passed, until I reached the throne room. I walked across the cobblestone floors, with glass displays on the sides showcasing lava below, and took a seat on my red and gold throne.

Kamek soon arrived and started launching the days plans at me. "Good morning sir, today's a busy day. First we have arranged a meeting with the duke of Flamelands, he had matters to discuss with you. Then there's your public address, followed by a council meeting. Then-"

I raised my hand to stop him. "Well move something around today, I'm kidnapping Peach."

Kamek frowned and sighed. "Bowser, that's not a good idea. You're very busy today, and-"

"To bad, I'm kidnapping Peach," I said, growing irritated.

"Lord, please-"

"No!"

Kamek sighed. "Very well lord, I'll send one of the Koopa Kidnapper Squad to do it."

I frowned. "I wanted to do it."

"Why?"

"Well...I get to hold her..." I said, blushing. "And she's a little more talkative!"

"Because she's screaming."

"Shut it!" I said, growling. I grunted and said, "Fine, send one of them."

He nodded and said, "Thank you. I'll get right on that, someone will come to take you to the meeting room soon."

I grunted and watched Kamek scuttle out. I began to drift off, dreaming of my sweet Peach until I was called upon.

Kamek

My word, Bowser's really got to get it together... I thought as I walked through the halls toward my office. He's got this fantasy that if he just keeps kidnapping Peach, and messing with Mario, he'll get her. He refuses to listen, he's stuck in that dream of his...

I sighed when I reached my office. It was a simple office, everything you'd expect. I plopped down in the chair at my desk and sighed. He won't even listen to me anymore...

I picked up the phone and called one of the secretaries of the castle. It ringed for a bit until a monotone voice answered. "Hello Sir Kamek, this is Muriel, how may I help you?"

"Hey Muriel, could you send up whoever's around in the Koopa Kidnapper Squad to my office?"

"He's at it again, huh?"

"Yeah, I managed to convince him to do his work this time."

"That's good. I'll send them up now."

"Thank you Muriel." With that, I hung up the phone.

Bowser had a group of elites in the Koopa Troopa that he deemed good enough to execute kidnappings for him, on the rare occasion that he can't. Ironically, they tend to be better at kidnapping then Bowser is, as they're usually stealthier. I waited quite a while until finally, a young, short Koopa with a purple shell showed up.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Jimmy!" He replied, cheerily.

"Well, what do you want Jimmy?" I asked, feeling impatient.

"Well what do you want?" He replied playfully. "I'm here cuz you called me!"

I raised a brow. "No I didn't, I called for the Koopa Kidnapper Squad. You're not one of them."

He shifted his feet nervously and said, "Well...about that...I'm sort of a rookie."

"Well why are you here then!?" I said, growing irritated.

"Bert and Bob are out on a mission, Gary is out getting provisions, and Benny is sick. So I'm all there is..." He quickly added, "But I've assisted in kidnappings before, I'm not a complete rookie!"

I sighed and muttered, "Damn it..." I considered waiting until someone was available, but knowing Bowser, he'd be furious if we stalled. Well whatever, kidnapping isn't that hard. And if he fails, it's not that big a deal. "Okay fine. You're mission is to kidnap Peach, nothing else. You may bring a party of two at the maximum to assist you. I'll also call the hangar to allow you access to the usage of Clown Copter Number 17. You leave immediately."

He nodded swiftly and said, "Yes sir!"

I nodded and said, "Good." I was expecting him to leave, but he still stood there, nervous.

"What's the problem?"

He looked like he was about to say something, but he shook his head and said, "No sir." With that he quickly left.

I rolled my eyes and attended to some work that needed completing.

Jimmy

I left the room, and sighed when I was out. I knew I didn't need any help, that's definitely not the problem. The Mushroom Castle is pretty lousy in security, I can sneak in and kidnap her myself. I'll probably take a chloroform rag to make it easier.

No, my concern is...I've technically never seen Princess Peach. I may've seen her once, but I don't remember. I don't get to watch much TV, and when I do, it's never Mushroom related. And as far as assisting ever went, I had just realized I was always helping divert attention. By the time I regrouped with everyone, Peach was in a sack, so I never saw her. And once she gets to the castle our paths never cross.

But it's not that bad! I may not know what Peach looks like...but I do know what a human girl should look like! I mean, they're all fleshy, and tall, and they've got pretty big boobs in plain sight. So I'm good, because she's the only human girl in that area! Wait, Daisy comes by sometimes...no, I know what she looks like. Dave won't shut up about her, he finds her so hot! Uh, she has a yellow dress, and brown hair, and is really tan. Yeah, I know what she looks like at least. Okay so it's easy. Kidnap the human girl that's not Daisy...I don't need to know how she looks like exactly, I'll be fine! I'm NOT messing this up, this is my chance to rise up in the ranks. I've got this one!

Pumping myself up, I proceeded to make preparations for my mission.

A/N: Well there's chapter 2. Review if you liked it please! Next chapter may be a little long again, maybe a little expositiony, but please bear with it! We change back to Fawn and everyone else next chapter. Okay, thanks for reading!
