"Olly! Snowzer-I mean Bowser-wants to tell you something!" Olivia said, floating to me too fast for her to notice until she ran into a wall. "Oof!"

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yup!" She shook off the pain. "Bowser wants you!"

"Huh? King Bowser? You mean the same person that knocked me off that platform and told me to eat gravity? And said I had a bad haircut? And burned countless of my Folded Soldiers? That King Bowser?"

She nodded. "He sent me to deliver a message to you!" She turned around and took a deep breath. "TELL THAT LITTLE ORIGAMI BOY TO COME HERE TODAY! I WANNA TELL HIM SOMETHING BUT MY KIDS NEED TO BE WATCHED SO I CAN'T COME OVER MYSELF! AND IT NEEDS TO BE TODAY BY FIVE PM OR I'LL BE VERY MAD!" She yelled, doing her best impression of him as her voice could do.

"Eek." I looked at the clock hanging obove Olivia's throne. "What? It's three already?! I need to go!" I floated up off of my throne. "I will see you later, Olivia."

"Yup!" She waved. "Don't get burned alive!"

"Wait, what?" I faced her. "What do you mean by that?"

"Go on now!" She continued waving. "Bye bye!"


I stopped in front of the towering doors of King Bowser's castle. There was his...face as a decoration obove the doors. I grabbed the handle and knocked with it.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap." I said, keeping count of how many "taps" there were. "One, two, three, four." I said while knocking again as there had been no anwser the first time.

A loud thud echoed from the inside and Junior opened the door. "You're the worst." Junior slammed the door shut.

Lemmy, one of King Bowser's younger children, opened the door. "You're a hotdog!" He also slammed the door shut and then celebrating persued.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap." I knocked again. "Could I please come in?"

"What's the password?" Junior's voice asked from the other side of the door.

"Please?"

"BZZT! Wrong answer! Try again!" Giggles broke out between the two Koopalings.

"Hm...well if I told you why I am here maybe you would let me in then?"

"BZZT! Wrong again! Last try!" The giggles grew louder as they thought I would not guess the correct answer in time.

"Well, it is my first time here. If I'm a first-time guest, how am I supposed to know the answer to your seemingly impassible request?"

The laughter died down for a moment. "Fiiiinnnne." Junior sighed. "I'll let you iiiinnn I guess." He opened the doors. "You're no fuuuuunnn!"

"I am sorry, Junior. It's just, I have some improtant buisness to do with your father! I must really be going now!" I bowed. "Perhaps you can have fun with me some other time?"

Junior huffed and he and his brother ran off.

King Bowser was standing on a balcony, watching the sun set. "HEY, ORIGAMI BOY!"

"Oh!" I bowed again. "Hello, King Bowser. What is it you wish to tell me so urgently?"

"WATCH MY KIDS FOR THE NIGHT, WILL YA?" King Bowser asked. "AND YOU CAN'T SAY NO EITHER! i ALREADY TOLD THEM YOU WERE HERE TO DO THAT!"

"Oh, so that's why they were playing around with a password and all that by the front door!"

"YEAH! NOW GO PLAY WITH THEM SO I CAN GET A BREAK!"

"As you wish, King Bowser."
