The one where the title is silly, and I have no regrets for it at all. Plus the Koopalings as a whole finally make an entrance, and how it's gonna play out will be somewhat explained.
Let's begin, readers.~
Rosalina was honestly looking forward to the visit towards the Koopa King's residence. So much in fact, that she was actually making her way there right now. Unfortunately she couldn't really place a place to warp that was right in front of Bowser's Castle. So she had to choose the place closest to his castle and make her stroll there instead. She had her hands clasped as she was making her way there wondering what the Koopalings may be like, and if they were anything like Bowser. This was her opportunity to have a close and personal interaction with them.
Though of course, a certain some didn't entirely agree with her choice, which is why said person has chosen to accompany her on said visit. And of course, this person was the Luma known as Polari. He was frantically looking around in complete and utter anxiousness while Rosalina was casually strolling into Dark Land, gazing around and looking more curious about the landscape than anything.
"M'lady, I'm not feeling too comfortable in this environment. Are you absolutely sure that this is a good idea...?" Polari said while still anxiously looking around, which prompted Rosalina to reach her hand out and reassuringly pet the top of his head.
"Your worry is indeed understandable, Polari. But worry not, Bowser has spoken quite dearly about his beloved children. They do their troublemaking every now and then, but they do sound like they're very sweet towards one another, and especially Bowser himself, as well as Junior. I heard they're rather protective towards the latter. They've already made quite an impression through those notes of behavior alone, despite their tendency towards playful chaos. I think we'll be fine."
"P-Probably...but still, this is Bowser's family we're talking about! They're entirely unpredictable!"
"Well then, that just makes them that much more interesting, doesn't it?"
"I...I wouldn't really see it that way...but I can definitely understand that type of implication...though that still feels a bit difficult to process..."
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Rosalina smiles softly as she stops and looks across from her. She sees the river of lava blocking their progress, as well as a waterfall flowing into it. "Oh dear, I'll have to get over this an alternate way. Do follow, Polari." She requests as she begins levitating upwards and flying over the river of lava, with Polari following close behind. They were being watched by many of Bowser's minions were watching them from afar. Though most of the males looked like they were immediately smitten with Rosalina, with comical hearts for eyes. Though she didn't really notice, Polari sure did. And he definitely didn't appreciate those looks, trying to glare them away as much as he could. Rosalina either didn't notice at all or didn't seem to mind, but she made no acknowledgement of it whatsoever.
Rosalina eventually landed on the front doorstep of the castle...which definitely didn't seem any friendlier than the rest of the Dark Lands. Polari shivered, while Rosalina simply knocked upon the front door and awaited being answered, clasping her hands once again.
A few moment afterwards, someone did eventually answer the large doors. Ludwig was the one who answered it, lightly looking up towards Rosalina with a smile. "Ah, you've finally arrived. You're Rosalina, am I correct?"
"Yes, that is me." Rosalina smiles softly and nods. "And you must be...Ludwig, am I correct?"
"Quite." Ludwig sighed while scratching his scalp. "I'm going to be honest...I'm rather hesitant to allow you inside, Lady Rosalina. For you see...my siblings haven't really gotten it in their heads that this is a very important visit."
"The boys have gone wild again, as usual." Wendy rolled her eyes while she poked her head out behind Ludwig. She smiled widely while looking up towards Rosalina, and rudely hip-checking Ludwig out of the way. "And oh my Koopa! Look! At! YOU! You're soooo beautiful!"
"Hmhm. Thank you.~" Rosalina chuckled with a graceful nod.
I can see how Daddy's been hanging around her much more lately. She's not only beautiful, but she's not even exerting her magic and I sense how massive her reserves really are. Wendy thought while gently pulling Rosalina inside. "Come, come on in! Our castle is your castle!~"
"It's rude to just knock someone out of the way when they're holding a door open..." Ludwig grumbled while picking himself up, brushing himself off, and following the two females inside.
As Rosalina did move inside to the main hall, however, she did blink...and tried not to break I to outright laughter:
"What have you been doing with her, Dad?!" Larry poked while grabbing the top of Bowser's head.
"You can tell us! Do you think she's pretty?!" Lemmy addied, hanging onto his left shoulder.
"C'mon, Pops. Ya gotta give us the scoop! There ain't no way yer doin' this for the kind of fun you usually partake in!~" Roy called out while folding his arms against the pillar.
"Is she strong? I bet she's strong!" Morton asked while hopping around, lightly vibrating the entire room.
"She has an entire Observatory all to herself, Dad! How does it even function? What magic tech does it use? Is it a bit more advanced than ours, or vastly so? Does she manage it often? How does it operate the way it does so consistently? Do you think she'll tell me?!" Iggy asked with multiple rapid question, appearing all over Bowser in various green flashes of magic, disorienting Bowser all the more.
"Can't you see that Papa is trying to speak?! You're kind of preventing him from getting a word out!" Junior said to all of them with an annoyed tone, trying to push both Larry and Lemmy off while disorienting his father himself while trying to push the others off.
Bowser snarled with a vein pulsing in his head, gritting his teeth as steam began emitting from his ears with his eyes tightly shut. After a few moments of hearing is rather chaotic son's out, he roared outwardly, throwing them all off. "GRAAAAAAAGH! GET OFFA ME! SHUT YOUR TRAPS! AND SIT YOUR TAILS DOWN FOR A MOMENT!"
The boys swiftly obeyed, immediately sitting on the ground in front of Bowser in an organized line. Aside from Junior, who was blowing a raspberry at them. He huffed while folding his arms.
"That's more like it...now listen up, this visit is very important, and I'm not the kind of guy who backs down from anything. Ever." Bowser said while scratching the back of his head. "So now that we're actually doing this, I wanna do it as amazingly as I possibly can. I wanna make sure she feels comfortable and welcome. She's our VIP for the day, ya got it?"
"Yes King Dad!" All of them changed in unison.
Kamek sighed a bit while raising his hand. "Your Nastiness, I know that your word is law in the subject, but I'm still not too sure about this being a good idea. It's not too late to reconsider-"
ZZZZT!
"You will NOT speak ill of our special guest!" Kammy growled while tapping her wand in her paw, which was emitting lightning. Kamek didn't even get a chance to shout before he was shocked from above, and wa snow lying on the ground, burned to a crisp and twitching awkwardly. "While she is within this castle, she is the most important subject here! She is to be treated as such, with great respect, and tend to her every need! She is our guest, and we will provide nothing short of the best of our hospitality! AM I UNDERSTOOD, KAMEK MAGIKOOPA?!"
"...Y...Y...Yes Ma'am...I'm sorry Ma'am..." Kamek whimpered while lying still hoping not to get shocked again.
She then turned swiftly towards the boys. "That goes for you boys as well! If I catch any of you all causing more chaos than tolerated while she's here, so help me, you'll be getting a harsh magic paddling! Those tushies will be stinging red for weeks! Do you hear me?"
"Yes ma'am..." They all shrunk under her gaze, knowing that Kammy meant every word.
And just like that, Kammy immediately calmed down and smiled. "Glad we came to an understanding. You be on your best behavior, and I'll give each of you a table food of treats, each. So long as you brush afterwards.~" She beamed while lightly pinching Junior's cheek.
"Ms. Kaammmyyyy..."
"Hmph." Bowser grumbled while folding his arms. "That's right. She'll be coming soon, so I'll need you all to be great Koopa for her. She's far too important for us to mess this up. Remember this well. We need to make a good impression that we're a happy family. We're not orderly, but we're happy. Ya got it, boys?"
"YES, King Dad!~"
Bowser smirked proudly. "Good.~"
"Hmhmhm!~"
"Huh? HEY! WHO THE HECK ISSSsssss..." Bowser began to snarled and spun around, only for his eyes to widen and his lower job to drop as he sees Rosalina standing a bit away from him, with the company of Ludwig, Wendy, and Polari. "...tttthhhheeeerrrreeee...?"
"I must admit, your dynamic with your family is rather chaotic. But regardless for all that, I clearly see that you deeply care about each of your children." Rosalina smiled and tilted her head. "It's adorable.~"
"Wha...whe...how did...gah...?" Bowser mumbled in embarrassment, a light blush covering his cheeks. "W-Wait a minute! I-I wasn't ready! There's-"
"Now now, Father. She's already here. And redoing it is not really going to accomplish anything at the moment." Ludwig said while shaking his head. "Now here's how things are going to work. Each of us get thirty minutes alone with her, while Father, Junior, Kammy, Kamek, and Polari serve as supervision. After the time ends, we move onto the next Koopaling until she's officially been introduced to all of us and knows our quirks and interests, including our interest in her. Does this need any repeating?"
"Nah, we got it." Wendy waved off while doing her nails. "C'mon boys. Let's go and assume our positions." She says as she makes her way off, with the other Koopaling immediately following. Kamek and Kammy left as well after the former recovered from being shocked again.
Bowser shook his head and held his paw out towards them. "Wait a Koopa-Flipping second! I completely mucked up her intro into the castle! I feel like-"
"Sshhh..." Rosalina suddenly silenced him with a single finger on his mouth, smiling calmly at his widened eyes of surprise. "Now then, Ludwig seems to have a reasonable plan for introducing me to him and each of the Koopalings. He might be a bit offended if I don't follow through. So just bear with it for a bit, alright?" She says, then reached up and playfully rustling the red hair on his head, before she turned away and began moving out, with Polari following her anxiously. "I believe I'll have quite a bit of fun here, Polari!~"
"W-W-Wha...?" Bowser blinked. First off, he wasn't able to properly greet her and introduce her into the castle because his children distracted him. Then he had to endure Kammy electrocuting Kamek again in annoyance. And then just now, Rosalina nonchalantly yet cheerfully pets the top of his head like none of it happened, then just walks off..and he was calmed by it.
What just?! How did?! Why the?!
Bowser grumbled while clutching his skull and roughly groaning aloud.
I have SO many questions!
"Would you like me to answer them?~"
WHAT DID WE AGREE TO, SPACE GIRL?!
"Oops! No telepathy. My apologies.~"
Bowser sighed while he rubbed his forehead a bit more gently as he began following the others.
This visit just commenced and he already wanted it over with so he could nap his headache away...
Welp. By the end of this, Bowser MAY be happier, but the intervention of his children is proving to be quite a bit of trouble for him, more than usual.
And as you can see...Rosalina is already having a GREAT time with this.~
Until the next chapter, readers!
