Hi guys. I've come back once again, and I bring you the sixth chapter to the story. Now, Brandon and Boney have officially fallen in love and became boyfriends, which is rather cute. Now, Boney is about to have quite a horrible nightmare, but maybe Brandon can help, once he discovers this shocking secret about his Dry Bones mate. :D
Ch. 6: Boney's Greatest Secret
It's a dark and stormy night at the treehouse, and Brandon Boney is asleep in their bed wrapped in each other's loving arms, but Boney isn't having such a peaceful sleep, he was tossing and turning, as he lets out little whimpers and cries, meaning he's having a bad nightmare. He tossed and turned even more, as he started crying in his sleep, as he started to tighten his hold on Brandon, clinging to him for dear life. He was having a nightmare of the day his life was changed forever by an evil man.
Meanwhile, in Boney's dream, it shows the beautiful Isle Delfino, and within Delfino Plaza a blue Koopa Troopa is walking around the beautiful city, enjoying his little vacation after working hard at Bowser's Castle. The blue Koopa Troopa was wearing a blue t-shirt, a pair of light green shorts, a navy blue hoodie, wearing blue boots, and is wearing a green baseball cap. His name was Sid D. Koopa, but to the other Koopa Troopas they called him Boney, since he was a little thin, and he eventually grew to like being called the nickname by his friends and fellow Koopa Troopas. He hated fighting, and loved making friends and having fun, he walking down the streets of the city, enjoying the jazz music. Sid was enjoying his time, as he danced to the music. Little did he know, his life was about to change.
"Man, I love dancing to this jazz music." Sid said in a cheerful tone as he danced more.
Just then, Sid suddenly saw a green Koopa Troopa running towards him with a smile on his cute face. The Koopa Troopa stopped in front of him, and said. "Dude, Sid, you gotta check this guy out! He's totally got some supernatural powers and can make your dreams come true."
"What? Are you serious, buddy? There's some kind of wizard out here?" Sid asked the Koopa Troopa.
"Come on, Sid. I'll show you." The Koopa Troopa said and grabbed Sid's hand, as they walking to dark colored building, which looked like some kind of shop of some soft, but neither of them saw anyone around at all.
"There's no one here. Are you sure?" Sid asked his friend.
"Yeah, I'm sure, Sid. I'm going to grab us some sodas. See you in a bit." The Koopa Troopa said and ran off to a snack stand.
Sid started walking around the area, looking for any sigh of the strange wizard man his friend told him about, but didn't see any sigh of the man. He started walking away from the building, until into he bumped into someone, and fell to the ground. Sid groaned, and brushed some dust off his clothes. He then looks up at the figure he bumped into, and saw the man is wearing a dark suit, and a hat with a skull headpiece on it.
"I'm really sorry for bumping into you, sir." Sid said to the man, hopping he wouldn't be angry.
"Gentleman!" The man said, as he used his cane to help Sid up. "Enchante!" Sid grabbed the man's cane, and stood up. "A tip of the hat from Dr. Blank..." The man said, as he removed his hat, and spun it stylishly, and made a card suddenly appear in his hand. "How y'all doin'?"
Sid took the card from the strange doctor, and read everything the card had written on it, tarot readings...potions...charms...dreams made real? Fascinating! Sid was truly fascinated by what the card said, this had to be the guy his friend was talking about.
"Well, I see you're showing an interest, my friend. Well, how about a little game then? If you win, I'll change your life forever, but if you lose, you'll still get a prize. What do you say?" Dr. Blank asked.
"I say, you got yourself a deal, sir." Sid said as he shook the man's hand, unaware of the mistake he's made.
Dr. Blank and Sid walked into the man's shop, and they arrived at a small rectangular black table, and the two sit down on a pair of stools, and the doctor suddenly conjures up a deck of cards, and places it on the table.
"Well, if you pick the right card, I'll change your life forever, Sid. There is one love heart card and four skull cards. They five cards will be shuffled, and if you pick one of the skull cards, I'll give you a gift that you'll never forget, I assure you." Dr. Blank said in a rather dark tone.
"I'm ready. Let's start the game." Sid said happily.
Dr. Blank cackled rather evily, and started shuffling the five cards at a very fast rate, and even used his supernatural powers to make sure Sid didn't get to see any of the cards. The doctor then finished shuffling the cards, and smiled evily, as he said. "Pick a card, Sid."
Sid looked at the five cards in front him, he wanted to choose the right card, but the doctor said he would get a prize, no matter what. He placed his hand onto the table, and looked at the five card for several minutes, until he finally made his choice. He placed his hand on the second card, and flips it over, revealing a skull and crossbones symbol, which almost looked like a Dry Bones skull, and suddenly heard Dr. Blank cackling evily.
"You chose, did you not? You chose wrongly, my friend. And I do believe its time for you special gift." Dr. Blank cackled, and tapped his cane on the ground, causing the entire room to grow darker.
"W-what's going on here?" Sid asked as he was getting scared.
Sid suddenly saw several dark colored skull-like masks suddenly beside Dr. Blank, as he raised his cane in the air, and cackled darkly. The masks suddenly started cackling evily, as the evil doctor chanting something, that Sid couldn't understand hardly.
"You got what you wanted! You gift is a cruse and forever you shall walk amongst the undead! Forever!" Dr. Blank shouted and blasted his dark magic at Sid, hitting him.
Sid screamed in pain, as he was hit by the evil magic, and felt his body suddenly start to change. He saw his clothes suddenly suddenly disappear, his shell and skin suddenly turned grey, grey boots and gloved suddenly appeared on him, and his eyes suddenly changed to a dark yellow, as his body glowed bright, and he screamed in terror and pain.
"Your cruse is complete now. Welcome to the world of the undead." Dr. Blank laughed evily as he disappeared into the shadows, leaving Sid alone.
Sid stumbled to mirror, and his eyes went wide at what he saw. He realized he was no longer the young twelve year old Koopa Troopa he was, but was now a transformed Dry Bones, the creature a Koopa Troopa becomes when the died. He felt tears pour from his eyes, as he fell to the floor, and started sobbing. He was a Dry Bones now, and he knew no one would ever want him, or love him. "He ruined my life... I'm nothing but a Dry Bones..." He muttered as he cried even more, and everything suddenly went black.
A thunderbolt clashed outside the tree, and Boney woke up with a start, back in his bedroom, holding his boyfriend tightly in his arms. He started sobbing into his pillow, wanted the horrible memory to just go away.
"W-why did it have to happen to me?" Boney said as he cried even more.
Boney's cries didn't go unnoticed, since Brandon had woken up from Boney hugging too tight, and tossing and turning in the bed. He saw his beloved Dry Bones boyfriend sobbing into the pillow, which just made his heart break seeing his love so sad. He cuddled closer to his boyfriend, and wrapped his arms around Boney pulling him into a extremely tight, but loving hug, and kisses him on the head.
"B-Brandon..." Boney said as he looked up and saw his human boyfriend hugging him very tightly, almost protective. "I-I'm sorry I woke you up... It was just a nightmare..." He said trying to hold back his tears.
"It was more than a nightmare, Boney. You wanna tell me about it?" Brandon asked as he lifted Boney's cute head up and captured his soft lips in a loving kiss.
Boney sighed softly, and gently kissed Brandon back, enjoying the kiss since he brought his comfort and love. He has always loved Brandon's kisses, and looked up at his boyfriend before sighing sadly. He decided to tell the love of his life his greatest secret, hopping that Brandon wouldn't leave him, and would still want him and love him.
"Brandon, I wasn't always a Dry Bones." Boney said in a sad tone.
"What do you mean, cutie?" Brandon asked.
"One day, I had just finished working a Bowser's Castle, like many in the Koopa Troop do, and went on a little vacation to Isle Delfino with some other Koopa Troopas, for a little vacation. You see, I was once a blue shelled Koopa Troopa named Sid D. Koopa, and I was just enjoying my time down there dancing to the music, when one of the Koopa Troopas came to me, and told me about some strange man who could make your dreams come true, which really excited me quite a bit. Well, we arrived at the man's shop, and once my friend was gone, he came out of the shadows, and said he could make my dreams come true, if I played a little game with him. He said the he would give me a prize, even if I lost. Well, when I played the card game, I chose a losing card and he gave me my special 'gift'." Sid said as he cried even more.
"He cursed you, didn't he?" Brandon asked feeling tears well up in his eyes.
"Yes, he did, Brandon. He used some kind of evil magic on me, and transformed me into a Dry Bones. He said I would forever walk amongst the undead, and since that day I've felt sad and alone, because he ruined my life. I just wanna be a Koopa Troopa again. I want the cruse broken." Boney sobbed.
"Oh, Boney... I'm sorry to hear that, my love." Brandon said as he hugged Boney tighter and tighter. He felt so angry that someone so heartless and evil could do this to poor Boney. He didn't deserve to be cursed at all. He wished he could help his boyfriend, but suddenly an idea popped into his head, as he smiled. He was highly skilled in the mystic arts, and he would use any kind of magic to break the cruse, and free his beloved. "Boney?"
"What is it, Brandon?" Boney asked as calmed down.
"I promise, I will do whatever it takes to break the cruse, and give you back your Koopa Troopa form. I don't care how powerful the cruse is, I will use all my magic and knowledge to break the cruse. I will give you back your from, Boney." Brandon said to his boyfriend.
Boney's cute eyes widened in surprise and amazement at what Brandon had just said to him. He felt overwhelming joy and happiness explode inside of him, as he felt tears of joy pouring from his eyes, he was beyond touched. Brandon would break the cruse for him. This was the sweetest and nicest thing anyone had ever done for him. "Really? You'll give me my Koopa Troopa from back?" He asked.
"Yes, my love. I will turn you back into a Koopa Troopa again. I promise." Brandon said as he hugged Boney again.
"Oh, Brandon... I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU! I believe in you, my love. I know you'll find a way to break the cruse." Boney said he cried in joy.
"I love you too, my love. You'll be a Koopa Troopa again. I promise." Brandon said as he kissed Boney lovingly.
"Thank you..." Boney said as he cried in joy and slowly kissed back.
Okay, now that was a shocker, wasn't it? Boney is actually a poor Koopa Troopa who was cursed. Can Brandon break the cruse, and return Boney, aka, Sid D. Koopa to normal? Wait and find out! ;)
