New Year's Eve with the Koopas 2021
A/N: This is a special episode and an early New Year's present from me to you.
It's New Year's Eve at Bowser's Castle where Bowser and his son are enjoying the party. Bowser smiled and said, "Well son, here we are once again. 2020 is coming to an end tonight and the cannon is ready for the fireworks once midnight arrives and after all, a brand new year means new possibilities."
"I know dad," Bowser Jr. replied, "This is going to be a great fireworks show once that cannon fires at midnight and look, it even has a timer."
"That's right, son! We still have twenty minutes left and I think this is a good time to remember some of the episodes we had seen this year on Mushroom Kingdom Adventures. Remember Boom Boom's special lunch?"
"Yeah! Boom Boom was hungry for some burgers."
From Episode 213: Boom Boom's Burger Lunch
Boom Boom looked at the wrapper and said, "All right! Let's see what is inside that wrapper."
So Boom Boom unwrapped it and inside is the All-Star Cheeseburger Deluxe. This burger has mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Super Stars, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and a burger patty all stacked between two buns.
Boom Boom placed his hands on the burger and said, "Now it is time for my first official bite of the All-Star Cheeseburger Deluxe and I will do it on the count of three. Well, here goes. One..."
Boom Boom held on to his burger.
"Two..."
He raised it up to his mouth, took one final deep breath and then...
The moment came.
"THREE!"
CHOMP!
With the word shouted, Boom Boom took his first bite with a mighty chomp and when he did, he looked starstruck.
"Oh my goodness," he said with his mouth full, "This burger is... AWESOME! I love it! Well, let's do it again!"
"Boom Boom is enjoying his lunch after a great training session." Bowser said with a smile.
"I agree, dad," Bowser Jr replied, "I really enjoyed the special Mario Kart race episode back in August where Boom Boom and Pom Pom are racing at Mario Circuit 1 from Super Mario Kart."
"That is my favorite episode, too! A great race for my minions!"
From Episode 210: Boom Boom and Pom Pom's Special Race
Dragon Puncher took out his Start Signal and said, "Now the moment you see the green light, the race will begin. Good luck to the both of you and have fun. Well guys, this is it! The moment has finally arrived. Boom Boom and Pom Pom... ARE YOU READY?"
"Ready!" Boom Boom and Pom Pom replied at the same time.
"Okay! And now, the moment you've all been waiting for is finally here! Let the 28th Anniversary Race between Boom Boom and Pom Pom... BEGIN!"
And with that, Dragon Puncher flipped the switch to start the light mechanism on the Start Signal as Boom Boom and Pom Pom turned their attention at the lights with the first one shining red. It all comes down to this, the start of the race.
3...
2...
1...
Boom Boom and Pom Pom revved up their engines, took one final deep breath and then...
It is time.
GO!
With the light turned green, Boom Boom and Pom Pom took off at the same time with a Rocket Start as they begin the race to honor 28 years of Mario Kart. Dragon Puncher smiled and said with a thought, "Have fun, Boom Boom and Pom Pom."
Boom Boom and Pom Pom are enjoying the race as they traveled through Mario Circuit 1 to see who is the better driver.
After two laps, Boom Boom and Pom Pom crossed the finish line as Dragon Puncher held up the Final Lap sign to signal the third and final lap of the race. He said to them, "This is it, guys! FINAL LAP!"
As Boom Boom and Pom Pom continued to race on the last lap, Dragon Puncher took out his checkered flag as he awaits them at the finish line. Boom Boom and Pom Pom kept on racing and then...
WHOOSH!
The checkered flag has been waved as Boom Boom and Pom Pom crossed the finish line to end the race. Dragon Puncher smiled at the official results and said, "FINISH! It's a tie!"
Bowser and Bowser Jr. smiled and said at the same time, "A tie race for Boom Boom and Pom Pom? Wow!"
Just then, the cannon's voice came on and said to them, "The New Year's Cannon is fully charged and ready to fire in two minutes!"
Bowser heard it and said, "Well son, this is it! The cannon is ready and look, we still have two minutes to go."
"Great! That means it's time to ring in 2021 with a fireworks show," Bowser Jr. replied with a smile, "Let's do it!"
"All right, then! To the cannon!"
With that, the duo ran to the cannon to say goodbye to 2020 for real.
When they got there, Bowser said, "Okay son, how much time until midnight?"
"Thirty seconds, dad," Bowser Jr. replied as he placed his hand on the button, "Prepare to fire the cannon!"
Bowser did the same and said, "You got it, son. When that timer hits zero, we'll press the green button on the control panel to start the fireworks. Ready?"
"You bet."
"Okay then, here we go! New Year's Cannon, ready to fire in..."
Bowser and Bowser Jr. smiled at each other as they turned their attention at the screen. They looked at the timer, took one final deep breath and then...
The countdown began
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one..."
As soon the timer hits zero, both Koopas let out one final shout as they press the button.
"FIRE! HAPPY 2021!"
PUSH
BOOM!
The cannon fired its firework in the sky as it explodes in the shape of Bowser. Then another one went off in the shape of Bowser Jr. as the fireworks light up the night sky at Bowser's Castle to officially start 2021.
"Happy New Year, son," Bowser said with a hug.
"Same to you, dad," Bowser Jr. replied, "You know, I think 2021 will be a great year with all new adventures, all new surprises, and many more."
"That's right, son. We're going to have a lot of fun in the new year. So join us in 2021 for another exciting year of Mushroom Kingdom Adventures and we hope you'll enjoy some brand new adventures with Mario and his crew. Until then..."
Bowser and his son smiled and said to the readers.
"HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
An so, Bowser and son are enjoying the fireworks as 2021 starts with a bang.
