Changing History

Chapter 5: To Peach's Castle (will they ever make it?)

"Hey wake up!" the teenage Bowser shook Bowser constantly over and over again for a response.

"Go away I'm sleeping!" Bowser complained back slowly and tiredly.

"You've been sleeping for at least 13 hours?" the teenage Bowser explained, reacting very shocked to how lazy he would become in the future.

"WHAT?!" Bowser replied loudly and jumped out of the bed instantly.

"Yeah, you slept for 13 hours straight?" the teenage Bowser carried on. "I would have let you carry on sleeping but I was just about to go take over the mushroom kingdom and you asked to come along?"

"Yeah that's right?" Bowser mumbled tiredly and sat on the side of the bed, "well happy birthday?" Bowser said suddenly then he rubbed his eyes repeatedly.

"Thanks? I guess… you too as well" his teenage half replied slowly.

"Well it's not really my birthday but thanks?" Bowser smiled back gently and pushed himself up after.

"Ok I'm getting ready and we're going!" the teenage Bowser explained quickly.

"Good I'll wait at the front gate" Bowser replied excitedly as he rubbed his hands together and walked out the room. He turned into a corridor and then into another. "Something's missing?" Bowser mumbled to himself as he paced himself forwards. "Where's the noise?" Bowser asked. The Koopa king steeped towards a familiar room. He examined the door for a second and gently pulled the handle down and the door clicked open. Bowser pushed the door open gently and creeped in the room, Bowser scoped around the empty room.

"What are you doing?" someone familiar asked curiously.

"Show yourself Kamek!" Bowser ordered, since Kamek was always around him the giant Koopa recognized his voice.

"Sire, can I ask what you're doing?" Kamek asked again nervously, as he appear in front if his grown up king.

"I'm waiting for something to happen?" Bowser answered, confusing himself as well as Kamek.

"What's that you're waiting for sire?" Kamek asked slowly.

"I don't really know…? I guess I'm waiting for one of my offspring to come running through that corridor complaining about something? Noise, shouting, screaming, crying?" Bowser sighed.

"How many have you raised?" Kamek asked.

"Seven… My oldest's 11" Bowser replied gently.

"Why are you sad then?" Kamek asked curiously, "you should be happy?" Kamek smiled gently to cheer Bowser up.

"But I am…" Bowser explained. "I just didn't think I'd miss them so much in this little time?" Bowser sobbed slowly.

"Oh…?" Kamek replied speechless.

"Ok, let's go to the front gate and wait for mini me" Bowser laughed gently.

"King Bowser doesn't like you calling him that sire" Kamek explained.

"That's why I say it" Bowser replied humorously. Bowser and Kamek went to the front gate to wait for the teenage king. Outside at the front gate Bowser found an army of koopa troopas, goombas, hammer bros and spinys. The whole army looked in shock and amazement at the older version of their king, which annoyed Bowser a bit. "It's rude to stare!" Bowser complained purposely to stop them staring, it worked though since the army instantly looked away from him not daring to look at him or say anything again or else. "What's mini me doing then?" Bowser asked Kamek curiously as he slouched against the castle's stone walls.

"You don't remember?" Kamek replied with a smug grin.

"What does that mean?! Don't remember what?!" Bowser asked aggressively, thinking Kamek was making funny of him.

"I'm not insulting you!" Kamek explained annoyingly.

"Don't talk back to me!" Bowser yelled.

"What happened to respecting your elders huh?!" Kamek asked, putting Bowser on the spot. There was a short silence while the giant Koopa thought of an answer.

"Well…? When I said that it only counted for mini me because I like to annoy him… so there!" Bowser answered and stuck his tongue out at the magikoopa. There was another silence as Kamek looked away in embarrassment. "So before we started arguing, what did you mean by and I quote 'don't you remember'?" Bowser asked in confusion.

"I meant that since you're a future version of our King Bowser then you might remember what you were doing before we left for the mushroom kingdom?" Kamek explained, Bowser was still confused though.

"Don't worry about it!" the koopa king groaned and waited silently.

The young Bowser came stomping out ten minutes later with excitement. "KAMEK!!!" he shouted quickly.

"Here sire?" Kamek replied nervously near the castle before sprinting to his master and finishing the two words in front of him. Kamek stood still for a second while the young king stared at him out of curiosity. This lasted ten seconds then Kamek broke a sweat.

"Good, looks like I ain't lost that evil touch" the teen laughed evilly and stretched his arms in the air before pacing himself to the front of his army. "KAMEK! I want you to keep the army in line, understand!" he ordered, but it seemed more demanding than ordering.

"Yes sire!" Kamek replied instantly. Bowser jogged up to the front of the army to join his younger half.

"Hey mini me!" Bowser tried to get his attention, which he did.

"MY NAME IS KING BOWSER KOOPA!!! I HATE YOU CALLING ME THAT!!!" the teen Bowser shouted violently and Bowser giggled.

"That's why I say it" Bowser explained ready to burst out laughing.

The young Bowser let out a loud, long roar of anger and smashed his foot into the ground. Bowser started laughing so hard his eyes watered and he fell to the floor. Two to three minutes later Bowser calmed down. "Are you done?!" the teenage Bowser asked annoyed obviously.

"Yep…" Bowser giggled slightly, "So we going?" Bowser asked curiously as he looked over the army behind him.

"Yes!" Bowser's younger half grumbled and cursed quietly so no one would hear the words.

"Are you gonna donate a speech to the army?" Bowser asked.

"I was!" the young king koopa answered.

"Why ain't you?" Bowser asked again.

"Because you're the most annoying pest, I've ever MET!" the young king shouted at the end.

"You don't know anything about annoying pests!" Bowser argued back, thinking of Mario and Luigi.

"Let's just go! By the time we get to the mushroom kingdom, the princess would have been back at her castle for a week?" the young Bowser over exaggerated.

"Alright mini me!" Bowser replied, laughing gently.

"That it!" the younger Bowser yelled and stomped towards the Mushroom but he didn't get far before turning around again. "Well, you stupid minions. You're supposed to march behind me!" the young king screwed. "DUMB $& ARMY!!!" he shouted furiously while the soldiers stood in front of him bedazzled. Then Kamek kicked one of the koopa troopas on the front line shoving him forward.

"Come on move before king Bowser burns you all to ashs!" Kamek whispered urgently. The army marched instantly behind the stressed koopa. Bowser stared at his younger half for a second. "Wow? He's stressed out?" Bowser thought out loud. "At least if he's angry he'll take it out on my Italian nemesis?" Bowser laughed comically and decided to catch up with his younger self.

"£$&$$ I HATE YOU!!!" the teenage Bowser yelled threatening as Bowser caught up with him

"Listen, you pip squeak!" Bowser snapped back instantly. "I'm s...? I mean I'm so… I'm sorry!" Bowser groaned, shocking the teenager. The young king went insane afterwards and started to laugh hysterically, falling to the floor and crying. "What so funny?!" Bowser asked in annoyance.

"Sire, I think our king is laughing out of shock rather than to insult you?" Kamek came out with.

"Oh?" Bowser replied speechless.

The young Bowser rolled over and saw something to his delight on the edge of a koopa village they were walking by. Thrills went down his body as he stared at the most beautiful koopa he had ever seen.
