Edit 7/1/21: I wasn't a big fan of how this chapter came out. I think it will be a little bit better...

I really feel like certain parts of the story is rushed... maybe because of the time skips

Two weeks have passed since the party. Mario and the others wanted to do different things, like playing baseball or tennis, so Kacey hasn't been to the Koopa Kingdom since. While spending time with everyone, Kacey continued to think about the Koopalings. When she thought about Roy, she noticed her heart always raced and she felt her face getting hot. When she remembered the kiss, her heart raced faster and her face got even redder.

"What's wrong with me?" Kacey thought as she watched Mario and Luigi play tennis.

"Are you ok Kacey?" She heard her brother say. She turned to him and smiled.

"I'm fine." Kacey replied.

"Are you sure? Your face is really red." Kayden said.

"I'm alright. Don't worry." Kacey said.

"Oh ok. Just yet anyone know if you feel sick." Kayden replied and looked back at the game.

Another week has passed and Kacey still hasn't seen Roy and the others. One day while everyone was at Peach's castle, Peach noticed Kacey's face turning red.

"Kacey, are you sick?" She asked.

"No. Why?" Kacey said.

"Your face is really red." Peach replied.

"Maybe she's in love!" Daisy cheered.

"N-No! I'm not in love!" Kacey replied, still blushing.

"Well why else would you be blushing so much? You said you're not sick and you don't seem mad or embarrassed." Daisy said.

"Is it Royale?" Peach asked.

"I'm not in love with anyone." Kacey whispered.

"Where is Royale anyways? I haven't seen him since the party." Daisy said.

"Um, he's probably at home working out or playing video games." Kacey replied.

"Oh. Where does he live?" Peach asked.

"He lives somewhere in the Bean Bean Kingdom. He visits the Mushroom Kingdom sometimes." Kacey lied.

"Oh ok. Maybe we can visit him one day." Peach replied.

"I hate lying like this!" Kacey thought. She sighed and stared at the floor.

Roy was in his room one day playing video games with a few other Koopas. While playing, they heard a knock on the door.

"Who's that?" One of the Koopas asked.

"I dunno." Roy paused the game, sat his controller down, and went to the door. He opened it and was surprised to see who was on the other side.

"Kacey?" He said.

"Hi Roy." Kacey greeted.

"I haven't seen ya in awhile girly." Roy replied.

"Luigi and the others wanted to do other stuff. But I can finally see you guys again." Kacey explained.

"Cool." Roy let her inside the room. She noticed three other Koopas also in the room.

"Who's this?" Another Koopa asked.

"This is Kacey." Roy said. Kacey waved shyly.

"I heard of you! You're one of Tiana's friends. I'm Rogan." The Koopa with the leather jacket and black sunglasses said.

"I'm Kameron. Nice to meet you." A Koopa with a black, red, and white mohawk greeted.

"I'm Austin." The last Koopa with green hair said.

"Austin's one of my cousins." Roy explained.

"Oh really?" Kacey said.

"We live in the Magma Kingdom. Our kingdom is better than Uncle Bowser's." Austin said, making Roy annoyed.

"Whatever. I don't have enough controllers for ya to play too." Roy said, turning to Kacey.

"That's ok! I'd probably be terrible at it. I'll watch you guys play." Kacey said.

"Ok." Roy sat down on the floor with the others and began to play again. Kacey sat on Roy's bed and watched.

"Hey Roy, ya got a girlfriend yet?" Austin asked. Kacey looked from the TV to the four Koopas.

"No. Why?" Roy asked.

"I dunno. Maybe you can go out with Pom Pom. She's still single and she's kinda cute." Austin replied.

"Who's...Pom Pom?" Kacey asked, a hint of jealously in her voice.

"Boom Boom's friend. They're one of our minions." Roy explained.

"Oh..." Kacey replied.

"So, you wanna ask her out?" Austin asked.

"You better not..." Kacey mumbled under her breath.

"Ya say something Kacey?" Roy asked.

"Oh no." Kacey replied.

"I dunno. I'll think about it." Roy said.

"Ok." Austin replied and continued to play. Kacey watched and began to think.

"Why did I just get jealous?! I...I don't like Roy like that. He's just a friend...right?"

Another month passed and Kacey noticed she still felt the same when she thought about Roy. She met Pom Pom one day and felt jealous again when Pom Pom was around Roy.

"Why do I feel like this? Do I...really like him?" Kacey sighed and looked at the ground.

"Maybe I-"

"You alright?" Roy asked, stopping her thoughts.

"Oh...yeah." Kacey replied.

"...Are you sure? Ya keep blushing a lot." Roy said.

"I'm ok." Kacey smiled.

"I really like Roy but I don't think I...love him. Maybe...it's a crush."

Edit 7/1/21: ...I still dunno how I feel about this chapter. Maybe I'll fix it again in the future.

I'm sorry this story is so rushed... and in case you don't know, in the song "Ignorance is Bliss", Bowser mentions having a sister. So that's how Austin and the rest of his siblings are the Koopalings and Bowser jr's cousins.

I'm probably gonna do another time skip in the next chapter. I'm also thinking about bringing back some old FCs that I used to use as villains in my stories too.
