AN: Hey everyone. Been a while since I started another Super Koopalings episode, huh? Well, today, I just thought to myself "why the heck not?" I mean, progress is going super slowly with the other stories. I mean, it's almost a year since I published episode 28. And…well, sometimes, working on those stories can be a real chore. I figured, I might as well start something new, to bring my spirits back up.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one.

Chapter 1 A Nutty Prank

"You're crazy. You know that, right?"

Iggy gave Ludwig a sideways glance. "I'm not crazy. I just want to douse Bowser in peanut butter; that's all."

Ludwig scoffed. "Like I said. Crazy."

Iggy dropped his jaw. "Oh please, like you've never fantasized about doing something over the top to our father!"

"No! As a matter of fact, I haven't!" Ludwig shook his head as Iggy leaned over a barrel of peanut butter sauce, the same kind that one would put on top of a sundae. "I'm a good boy, and you should be too."

Iggy stood up straight. "Says the guy who destroyed a city when he was seven."

"TOO FAR BELOW THE BELT, IGGY!" Ludwig yelled. Sparkling blue flames burst up around his arms. He grit his teeth at his unfazed younger brother. "You know, you're the last person I'd expect to do something so illogical."

"Woah woah wait, time out!" Iggy took off his glasses as he faced Ludwig with a gaping jaw. "You think I'm being illogical?"

"HA!" Ludwig laughed as the flames dissipated. "Is that even a question? Since when is it logical to drop a vat of peanut butter on the King's head?" He faced Iggy seriously. "Seriously, who are you and what have you done to my brother…"

Iggy's face turned bright red as he put his glasses back on. "Um, excuse me? I am NOT illogical." He pointed toward his chest. "I am Ignatius Magnolia Koopa! Not only do I have very strong and poignant mental faculties (arguably the strongest in the Kingdom), but I can come up with the best inventions this side of…well anywhere! Seriously, just look at this, Ludwig!" Iggy reached down and grabbed a device from underneath the lab table. "Have you forgotten about this?"

Ludwig sniffed. "Oh, of course not. How could I possibly forget about the most pointless invention ever?"

Iggy's shoulders slumped, his face fell into an indignant glare. "It is not pointless."

"Iggy, it's a fork with a toothbrush on the other end. Not exactly what I would call innovative."

Iggy scoffed. "Not innovative? Please." He displayed the patented forkbrush like one would display a nugget of gold. "Dental hygiene is the gateway to the health of the rest of the body! If you eat something really bad for you, then you by all means need to be ready with a way to cleanse your orpheus!"

Ludwig cringed. "Okay, first off, we have all told you to stop using the word orpheus because it sounds too creepy." He let out a breath and faced his brother, this time with an honest look as opposed to a caustic one. "Secondly…that 'forkbrush' doesn't distract from your current lack of logic!"

Iggy scrunched his eyebrows. "I am not illogical. I am just as logically sound as I've always been."

"Really?" Ludwig walked around the lab, pointing out Iggy's inventions like he was a museum tour guide. "So, your time machine, your warrior robot, your weird device that gave Wendy a tail beard…"

"My Face Freak Gadget?"

"Yes, exactly!" Ludwig went over to another part of the lab. "And your internet explorer!" He picked up the helmet connected to the machine. He tapped against the silver surface, admittedly entranced by the multicolored lights that covered it. "You remember this, right?"

Iggy smiled a little. "The Museum of Koopa Kingdom History still wants me to donate it to them."

"Yeah! It's a cool invention." Ludwig set it to the side as he looked at Iggy with a pleading look. "Why…HOW in the world would you want to stoop down from this level to that?" He gestured to the jar of peanut butter sauce. "I mean, what the hell happened to you?"

Iggy looked between the two of those objects, his irises shimmering. Finally, he sighed. "Okay, fine. It's because…Roy dared me to pull a prank on Bowser."

Ludwig raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? You're looking for validation from Roy now?" He snickered. "What has the world come to? If this isn't the first sign of the apocalypse, I don't know what is."

Iggy glared at the eldest. "It has nothing to do with validation. Or the apocalypse." He cleared his throat. "It has everything to do with honoring the dare."

Ludwig rolled his eyes. Honoring a dare, huh? Last time he checked, the only things that Iggy honored were the sacred names of past scientists who acted as pioneers for the field. Last time he checked, Iggy found dares, double dog or otherwise, to be incredibly childish.

"Again, I must ask. What the hell happened to you?"

Iggy removed his glasses and wiped at them with a moist towelette. "I just…" He groaned in a whiny tone and put on a pleading expression. "I just want to be seen as fun for once, okay?" He stamped his foot. "All you guys think I'm the boring brainy type. I want to do something daring. Something bold. Something…"

"Insane?"

"Yes! Exactly!" Iggy grinned at his brother. "I want to show everyone I can be a wild card! That I can take expectations and subvert them like there's no tomorrow!"

Ludwig sighed and shook his head. "You do realize that this can go seriously wrong, right?"

Iggy blinked before shrugging. "So? I've dealt with scenarios that can go seriously wrong before. And this isn't exactly on the same level as dealing with nuclear explosives, so I think I'll be alright." He turned, picked up his vat of peanut butter sauce, and made his way toward the lab exit. "I'll be just fine; better than fine as a matter of fact!"

"Are you absolutely sure?" Ludwig asked.

"Of course I'm sure!" Iggy laughed. "It's just one prank; how bad can it be?"

…

"My fellow Koopas…!"

Iggy giggled. Bowser stood, with his back to throne, in front of a large crowd. The vat of peanut butter hung way up on the ceiling, just high enough to be out of public eye. Under normal circumstances, he would not be doing this. Especially under these circumstances. He could practically his past self ranting at him in his head. "It's a kamikaze mission!" said past Iggy. "It's the most foolish thing you could do, the most foolish thing that ANYONE can do!"

Iggy scoffed. This wasn't foolish; this was genius! As was everything that Iggy did. He could easily pull this off. He could show Roy that he wasn't one to back down from a dare. He could show the whole kingdom that he was daring, unpredictable, and fun. On national TV no less.

"So," Bowser said to the crowd. " A quarter of the Kingdom's budget will be used to put a stop to the biddybug infestations in Lava Falls" He continued going on about the budget, completely oblivious to the vat hanging above his head in Iggy's Koopa Clown Copter. Just one press of a button would tip the clown copter over and pour the liquid straight onto Bowser's head.

Iggy smirked. "Okay Bowser," he whispered. "Prepare for butter bath!"

With that, he pressed the button. The sight of the ten gallons of peanut butter falling onto the mighty Koopa King was glorious. The victim was so taken aback that he couldn't even speak. He just stood, his jaw dropped and his form messy.

"What…what in the world…?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves. Iggy could hear them asking each other how in the world this could happen, how in the ever living heck someone could be THIS disrespectful to the King. He didn't even care. He had pulled this off. He had single handedly pulled off the greatest prank of all time.

"I did it!" He shouted. He danced around. "I did it, I did it, I…"

"IGGY!"

Iggy froze. He slowly turned back toward Bowser. Even when coated in peanut butter, the Koopa King's glare was menacing enough to cause Iggy's blood to freeze over. He gulped as every eye in the room stared at him, as the whole Kingdom gawked at the audacity he displayed.

"WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO THIS!?" Bowser screamed.

The Koopaling gulped. He was in trouble. Big trouble. He thought about lying, but he realized that would be pointless. So, instead, he aimed for the direction of just telling the truth.

"Roy told me to do it."

All eyes turned toward Roy, who was ironically chowing down on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the crowd. When Iggy finished saying that sentence, he spit out his snack and looked at the middle child in fright.

"What? Dude, why are you throwing me under the bus! What did I ever do to you?"

Bowser glared at Roy, flames escaping from between his lips. "Roy, is what Iggy saying true?"

"No!" There was a pause before he shrugged. "Well, okay, maybe it's a little true…"

"Then you leave me no choice!" Bowser stood up straight and tall, wiping the peanut butter off of his face. "By the power vested in me as the King of the Koopa Kingdom, I hereby announce you and Iggy to be….GROUNDED!"
