"Yay! Daddy's replacement is here!" Larry shouted. "Yaaaay!" He ran in circles before hitting a wall and falling backwards.

"Play with us!" Junior demanded. "Now!"

Ludwig sat silently in the corner, glaring at me. Morton Koopa Jr. also stood in one spot glaring at me, but his seemed out of anger whilst Ludwig's seemed to be from suspicion.

Lemmy tossed an abnormally large ball at my face. "Do something!"

The ball was yellow with orange stars on it. It was kind of cute. I tossed it behind me.

"Alright children. What is it that you wish to do with me?"

They all shot me strange glances. "What? Speak english, weirdo!" Junior said in a rude manner.

"Watch your tone, child. I am not here to take your-"

"Alright, alright! Sheesh!"

"Daddy's gone!" Lemmy alerted the others. "Let's do stuff!"

"YEAH!" All of them shouted.

"Calm down now, children!"

"Give us food!" Larry demanded.

"Feed us!" Junior shouted.

"Food! Food! Food! Food! Food!" They chanted, following me into the Kitchen.

"Alright, what to eat..." I opened the fridge. There was a whole Cheesecake in there, along with plenty to eat. The children thought otherwise, however.

"MC Donalds! MC Donalds! MC Donalds!" They chanted.

"You know, there is a more healthier variety here." I grabbed a lettuce. "I know! I'll make a Salad with maybe..." I grabbed a whole frozen chicken out of the fridge. "How is this still frozen...?" I shook it off. "Chicken and..." I opened the cupboard. "Macaroni and Cheese! Children like Macaroni and Cheese, right?"

"EW! Lettuce!" Larry exclaimed his disgust by sticking his tongue out.

"EW! Salad!" Junior and Lemmy cloned Larry's reaction.

I grabbed a saucepan and filled it with water. I gently placed it on a burner and ignited it. They watched me as I prepared the Salad and defrosted the Chicken.

"Oh, you're interested now?" I asked. "Put the Salad in the fridge please, Larry."

Larry picked it up and lifted it into the fridge. "Alright!" He put it in and shut the door. "Chicken..."

I slid it into the oven and started the timer. I faced back to the kids.

"We have some time. Why don't you guys find something to play?"

"Woo!" Larry, Junior, and Lemmy ran off to their bedrooms.

"I don't trust you, King Olly." Ludwig said.

"And I understand that." I looked around. "Say, where are Wendy and Iggy? I have not seen them since I arrived."

Wendy O. Koopa walked downstairs. "Hm? Who are you?"

"I am known as King Olly. I have not seen you since I arrived so I was a tad bit worried." I bowed to the Princess.

"I smelt meat." Wendy said. "That's why I'm down here."

"Where is your brother Iggy? I want to make sure I know where everybody is."

"He's probably in the garage again. He's been building something in there he won't show to anybody."

"Alright, thank you." I bowed again and told Ludwig to tell me when the others came back if they were to before my return.

I entered the garage and immediately spotted a giant tarped item. That must be what Wendy mentioned. Iggy's head poked out from the bottom.

"OH!" He scrambled out and held out his soot-covered hand. "Hey, I'm Iggy!"

I shook his hand but wiped the soot onto my tailcoat. "What is that, exactly?"

"Oh, I'm not done yet! I'll reveal it when I'm done!" Iggy smiled. "But I'll give you a hint, it's for the next Origami Festival!" He noticed I wasn't flat. "Wait...are you that Olly person I've been hearing about? You must be strong if Dad need to team up with Mario to stop you!"

"Hehe...I'm not THAT impressive." I rubbed my other arm. "So...you're a fan of Origami as well, hm? That's nice."

"We all are, it's just half of us don't want to admit it!" Iggy told me. "When will dinner be done?"

I grabbed my Iphone and looked at the timer. "Roughly ten minutes."

"Boo. Cute phone case by the way." Iggy complimented, pointing at it.

The phone had a purple case when I got it, so I just put a sticker of my sister on it towards the bottom right corner.

"Oh!" My face turned red. "Thank you!" I quickly put my phone in my pocket. "Waah..."

Ten minutes past, I pulled the crispy Chicken out of the oven as the kids watched in awe.

"Absolutely perfect." I said. "Grab plates kids, this is hot!"

"To the table!" Junior said, leading me to the dining room as I had no idea where it was.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap!" I felt around and place the food down. "I couldn't see, hehe!"

"Mac and cheese!" Larry said, exiting with the pre-made side dish.

"I hate salad!" Lemmy exclaimed, carrying the salad.

"Why do you keep saying tap four times?" Junior asked.

"Junior! You're not supposed to ask about somebody's weird habit!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Oh no! It's fine, really!" I prepared the plates as I spoke. "You see, I am obsessed with the number four. I have four clocks, four pencils, four tables, ect., ect...it's just odd. Like four keeps us safe from something. I don't really know. I need fours otherwise I feel something bad will happen to us!"

They stayed silent for a while.

"I think you have OCD, Olly." Iggy said.

"Well, that would explain a lot!" I sat down on an empty seat. "Alright, dig in!"

"YEAH!" They cheered. "Thanks, Olly!"

I smiled. "Anything for King Bowser's children!"

"Why ho yho frice fryeng to cake a phrendshipf whif faffi?" Larry asked with a mouthful of salad.

"Please speak when you are done." I said.

"Forry gowwy." He swallowed what he was eating and asked again. "Why do you keep trying to make a friendship with daddy?"

"Well, I have a plan to unite all of the Kingdoms together. Kind of like a contract that will say something along the lines of 'I agree to this and if there is a Kingdom in need, I will help them in any way I can'.'"

"Ooh, cool!" Lemmy said. "So you're trying to get and stay on daddy's good side then?"

I nodded. "I think taking care of his children should be enough to have him agree, no?"

"Dad's pretty nice once you get to know him." Junior told me. "He just acts all tough."

I giggled quietly. "Yeah, he sounds like me. Finish up, kids. I want you to be in bed by the time of your father's return!"

They scarfed down the rest of their meal and ran off to their rooms. I entered Larry's room to find them all in one room, in separate beds.

"Aww, look at you! All together like little babies!"

"Good nighty-night!" Lemmy said, kicking his feet happily under his blankets.

I smiled. "Sweet dreams, kids." I flicked off the light and went to leave when Junior stopped me by grabbing the end of my coattails.

"Dad always kisses us goodnight..." He said in a tired voice.

"Well...I don't do that." I said. "Can you go one night without?"

All of the Koopalings shook their heads.

I sighed. "Alright," I picked up Junior and put him in bed. "But just tonight, okay kids?" I covered him back up and gently kissed his forehead. "You guys are adorable."

"Don't tell your father this but," I gently kissed Iggy's forehead too, "you just so happen to be my favorite." I winked.

"HEY!" Wendy shouted, sounding very offended. "How rude!"

"Hey, don't blame me for liking how nice he is!" I said.

After finally getting them to sleep, I plopped down onto the couch. "Woah, this late already?" The clock read as ten pm. "That took way longer than expected."

King Bowser quietly stomped into the castle. "HEY, ORIGAMI BOY!"

"Oh, welcome back, King Bowser!" I bowed. "Your children have been fed and put to rest. I had also done the dishes, cleaned the floors-"

"GOSH, I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THE KIDS. NOT MY WHOLE FREAKING CASTLE SHEESH. I HAVE KEMEK FOR A REASON!"

"Oh...sorry...I tried to put them to bed sooner but alas, they demanded I 'kiss them goodnight'."

King Bowser laughed. "YEAH, THEY STILL WANT SOME FROM ME TOO." He pulled out his wallet. "THANKS, KID. HERE'S YOUR PAY." He held out twenty coins.

"HM?! Now way! I did this to help you, free of charge!" I exclaimed, pushing them back towards King Bowser.

"NAH, YOU DESERVE IT. MY KIDS CAN BE A PAIN IN THE BUTT IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN." He insisted, handing them back to me.

"Alright..." I put the coins into my pocket. "Thank you." I bowed. "Have a good night, King Bowser."

"SEE YA!" King Bowser yelled, waving to me as I left.
