Chapter 3

Luigi and I exchanged bewildered glances. " What did Daisy eat, the castle?" I asked.

" Daisy has beena' thata' way sincea' the end of high'a school'a. Do you know'a Professor E'a-Gad'a?" He asked.

" Yeah, that's that creepy teacher who hides in his lab all the time." I said.

" He wasa' making an elixir made of crusheda' mega mushrooms, a crushed powa' block, anda' goomba spit. It wasa' supposed to be used to makea' the gold coinsa' larger so they cana' be melted to molda' into smaller coinsa'. The night after Daisy refused to go to the dance with a' Wario because his pudginess he planned his revengea'. When Professor Ea'-gad's goomba worker accidentally spilleda' the elixir on herselfa' she began to blow up like a balloona'. Hea' left to go find a cure for it. When he wasa' gone, Wario snucka' into the laba' and took the elixir and the gadget he injects it with'a. It only works ona' girls. I thinka' he's planning on using it on Peacha' too." Luigi said.

" Professor E-Gad is always doing weird experiments. I remember when the Koopa Pox spread and he tried to find a cure. He took two families infected with Koopa Pox and tried to make a medicine out of shy guy tears, Yoshi blood, and flying koopa feathers mashed together. He tried it on the oldest Koopas. They died of with a strange mutation. They gave me and a young Koopa a smaller dose. We were also mutated but we survived a few days of side effects. The young Koopa lost his father, Bowser. He spent the days trembling with fear calling for his father. I looked exactly like Bowser when I got mutated and my mother and father were dead so I didn't have the heart to tell him I wasn't his real father. The twerp has been following me ever since. Professor E-Gad kept us for three months trying to turn us back to normal until we escaped."

" What'sa' your real'a name?" Luigi asked. It's kind of hard to remember. I haven't used my real name in so long.

" My name is Ludwig Von Koopa. You can still call me Bowser if you want. Everyone else does." I said. I spent so much time pretending to be someone I'm not that I don't even know who I am anymore. Bowser Jr must be looking all over for me. I told him to stay back at the lair with Kammi Koopa until I got back. " Do you think Wario will come back tonight?" I asked.

" A'no. Wario onlya' comes oncea' day. Donkey Kong stis up in the trees anda' makes sure thata' nobody can see a'Wario." He said.

" He's in that tree right now, isn't he." I asked. I turn around to see Donkey Konse face pressed on the window glass. His banana breath makes a thick fog on the window. I opened the window wand breathed fire on the tree branch and it fell to the ground head first. Just in case he didn't kill enough brain cells he had to land on his head. Wario and DK made their retreat. Luigi waves goodbye and Daisy makes a victory flop that makes the whole castle shake.

"I can't sleep in the basement! It's too dark and cold down here." Daisy whined. If she wants warm and light, I'll give her warm and light, I thought to myself. I breathed fire through the hole in the floor. " Goodnight!" She said.

I stay in Luigi's bunk bed and Luigi goes into Mario's bed. He was so happy that he got to sleep on the top bunk that night. I didn't get much sleep because Luigi started singing The Coconut Song in his sleep. I guess I shouldn't complain because soon if I treat him better than Mario did he'll join my side.
