The one wh-
Daisy: YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WHOO! OH YEAH BABY, IT'S FINALLY TIME! ITS DAISY TIME!
Peach:...Forgive her. She's recently caught wind that she's finally playable as her own character in the the upcoming multiverse tournament, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, instead of an alternate costume of me.
Daisy: WHOOOOOOOO!~
Peach: ...And as you can see, she's quite excited.
Daisy: *Dramatic thumbs down* You're going DOWN, Bowser!
Bowser:...I'm scared.
Rosalina: *Giggles*
Bowser sometimes really for real doesn't know how Wendy manages to rope him into these things without a single consequence to herself, even when he should be the one dishing them out. Because technically, she isn't doing anything wrong. First he got Rosalina to go on a date with him. And now he was going on a beach trip with her because Wendy thought he seemed 'stressed' and could use a bit of relaxation.
...She wasn't entirely wrong about it. He was pretty stressed for many reasons. And she was definitely one of them. Unfortunately he couldn't do anything about it unless it was directly harmful to her or anyone else...but it wasn't. If anything, she was genuinely helping things along. The Koopalings looked extremely happy to have Rosalina and the Lumas to spend time with. If anything, she was enriching their lives with her grace, her wisdom, and mysterious playfulness.
And Wendy knows it for a definite fact. And it's why she was gazing at her Daddy with such a self-satisfied smirk while sipping tea from her lap. He grumbled something about troublesome rich daughters as he had several packs in his arms. He was stepping off the plane they've taken flight in, and looked up at the island he hasn't been to in a very long time:
"Isle Defino..." Bowser mumbled.
He hasn't been here in quite some time. Last time he's been here...well...he and Junior kind of made a very huge mess of it, and pinned it on Mario. Shine Sprites here, goop there, kidnapping Peach here, stopped by Mario and F.L.U.D.D. there...and then they end up having to paddle their way home after being launched away from the island. He also remembered that he lied to Junior about Peach being his mother...he still considers that one of the most shameful things he genuinely feels sorry about...bar the destruction of the universe. That still haunts him a bit as well.
Though to be fair, on the former point, Peach made things even more complex by having to ponder if she was Junior's mother or not. She looked and sounded like she really didn't know at the time. Of course Bowser knew it wasn't true, and was surprised that she took so long to think about it.
And now the Prince has gotten to know 'Mama Rosalina' as he began calling her. Bowser supposed that was what happens when a mother figure hangs around a child without a mother for so long at consistent times. And now the other Koopalings were playing along, seeming like they genuinely believe it. As far as he knew, they DID believe it.
Once he heard the others getting off the plane, he decided to tuck those thoughts in for later.
"Whoooo! This place is SOOOO hot! Peach, you actually took a vacation here?!" Daisy cheered gleefully as she twirled around a bit with her arms spread. She seemed to be wearing a sleeveless dress like Peach did from their visit here. Being a Princess mostly associated with the hot and dry desert, of course she would like such bright sunlight and heat such as this. Plus, she's quite hot-blooded. The place is perfect for her.
As such, Mario and Luigi came here with short-sleeved overalls. The Koopas of course weren't that effected, they hang around magma all the time, Bowser even bathes in it. Rosalina and the Lumas...well. He was quite sure that if she said she's managed to stand atop a star, unharmed, he would believe her. She told him he did the same.
...Many of them were highly heat resistant when the situation calls for it, apparently.
"Yep. This is the place, alright. Isle Delfino. Quite the adventures we had here..." Mario sighed while lightly fanning his head with his cap. "I always wanted to take you here to experience it for yourself Luigi...Luigi?" Mario blinked as he turned to see his brother facedown on the ground, steam rising off of him.
"It's incredibly hot here, bro...you could have provided a much better warning..."
"Mama Mia...laying on the ground isn't gonna make it better!"
"I know that! I...just...need to catch...my breath..."
"Hmph, wuss." Roy huffed while adjusting his pink shades, stepping past the exhausted brother. "Ya can beat us multiple times, but ya can't take a bit of sun? Whaddya tryin' to fool, plumba?"
"It is a bit hot here. Nothing we cannot endure." Ludwig huffed.
"Wow wow WOW! This place is DAZZLING! Just like me.~" Wendy beamed as she too steps off the plane with the rest of her brothers...who were each carrying her things as well as their own luggage. "Ah yes, this is quite a vacation spot. Yes sirree~"
"We would have picked Pi'illo Island...but Bowser is still quite banned from there for obvious reasons." Peach said as she had her parasol over her head, providing a bit of shade for herself. "And his banning from Isle Delfino has been lifted...so long as we keep a very sharp eye on him."
"Yeah yeah, we get it." Bowser grumbled.
Daisy could see that Luigi was still having quite a difficult time recovering, so she sighed as she rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck. "Alright Weegie. You're gonna need some assistance, least ya can do is tell me. Now...!" Daisy grunted a bit before lifting Luigi off his feet, throwing him up a bit, then catching him on her back, piggybacking him. "There we go. Let's get you inside, and get you a cool drink, so you can really catch your breath, alright?"
"... That'll be nice...thanks..."
"Ah. This place does feel quite relaxing." Rosalina smiles as she too steps off of the plane. A few fellow Lumas, Polari included, flew around her a few times before flying out to explore the island. It wouod have been easier if she had simply flown or warped to the island...but a ride on a high-class airplane seemed too interesting to pass up. She turned towards Bowser. "So you caused quite a stir on this island as well, Bowser?"
"Well...I..."
"We did, Mama." Junior said a bit worriedly as he was holding her hand, looking up towards her. "Are you mad at us...?"
"Of course not, sweetie. It was quite some time ago. There's no purpose in building grudges over something that's long past." Rosalina says calmly while looking forward and levitating over to the others in order to catch up. "Oh! Girls, wait for me!~"
Bowser quietly watches her leave, feeling a bit awesome by her comment, even though he somewhat expected for her to say something like that. Wisdom coming from a Guardian of the Cosmos and such. And yet still, it threw him for a loop, mostly because he tends to hold quite a lot of grudges...it gives him something to occupy his time.
"Papa. Rosalina is very forgiving." Junior suddenly said while looking up towards Bowser. He seems to be rather curious/happy about it than confused.
"Yeah...guess she is. She knows all about the stuff we did and doesn't really bat an eye...that one eye we actually see because her hair covers half of her face...why do people style hair like that anyway?" Bowser grumbled while folding his arms. "Does she think it gives her some sort of majestic feel or something? Just standing gives off that vibe. Feels kinda nice..." Bowser trailed off slightly. He then blinked and shook his head. "Anyway, let's just catch up with them. I'm guessing we're gonna have quite a bit to do."
"Kay Kay!" Junior nodded as he skipped along with his father eventually following suit, a slightly worried frowns on his face.
I'm not usually too deep into this kinda thing...but I really hope that the universe can cut me some slack and don't turn this into something chaotic...I prefer my chaos to be by me, thank you very much...please grant this request...
"ALLLLLLLLRIGHT!" Daisy chants aloud with raised fists and a wide smile. "Isle Delfino, here I am! You'd better be ready for the super awesomeness that is Princess Daisy!" Luigi, Mario, and Peach looked towards her. They'd barely done anything and Daisy was already drastically exhausting them. Rosalina and Kammy, however, they were already having quite a bit of fun with her for differing reasons.
"Hey hey hey! If Isle Delfino is gonna be preparing for awesomeness from ANYONE, it's gonna be from me!" Bowser growled from quite a distance away. They in differing rooms changing. Well...most of them were. Bowser, Junior, and some of the Koopalings don't really do swimwear. Wendy does simply for looks, and it was kind of fun. And Lumas...well...that much was obvious.
"From you? From YOU? The Koopa King of Jerks that once dirtied the heck out of a sunny clean island on another attempt of failed romance with Peach? Pfft, yeah right." Daisy huffed, and Bowser could be heard gritting his teeth in irritation.
"Come now, Daisy. We've come to relax, not to start another argument." Peach said, her dress placed in a locker for the time being. "Besides, you promised both Luigi and me that you'd behave."
"Technically I made that decision only regarding the ball. I didn't say I would be falling that promise for anything after that, now did I?"
"Come on, Daisy..." Luigi sighed loudly, prompting Daisy to pause, then let out a more drawn-out sigh over her own.
"Alright alright, I'll tone it down...because I feel like doing so."
"As long as you're at least trying...we wanna NOT be stressed. Starting a petty fight...feels just a tiny bit stressful, ya know? I mean, kinda defeats the purpose of beaches-"
"I get it. I'll be good...somewhat."
"That worries me. Yet I suppose that's the best we're getting right now..."
"Getting the best isn't always best." Peach said.
"Except when it's me. I get the best, I give the best, breathe the best. Heck, I AM the best!~" Bowser boasted.
"Pride comes before the fall...and I do enjoy watching you fall on your back like a chump. You do that quite a lot with how far up you go."
"Daisy! What did we literally just talk about?!"
"He makes it too easy! Stupid-faced Bowser!"
"I'm honestly beginning to think there's more animosity between you two than he and Mario. And considering that you usually don't take part in their major adventures, that's really saying something." Kamek could be heard sighing.
"Their animosity is indeed worrying to watch...but a part of me also finds it quite intriguing." Rosalina voiced to everyone via telepathy. "After all, meeting a princess as outgoing and somewhat vulgar as Daisy is quite rare."
Bowser jumped, hitting his head on the ceiling. "Ouch! Hey! What did I tell ya about the voices in head thing?!"
"Oh. Apologies. It appears I've forgotten to keep you out of the link."
"You've been around for centuries. 'Forgetting' is not something you just start doin'." Bowser deadpanned. "...You're enjoying messin' with me at this point, aren't ya?'
"...The sound of you sounding surprised or shock HAS grown to amuse me a bit."
"You're not even trying to hide it!"
"After the incident with Tatanga, many are too scared to actually pick a fight with Daisy, with or without Masters Mario or Luigi around. That indeed spells out how...eccentric she is." Toadsworth informed.
"Come on! I'm not that bad! Not all the time!" Daisy rejected as she stepped out, now in more comfortable clothes. "Alright, this outta be better clothes for an island that's always hot! Come on out Peach!"
"No need to shout, we're coming..." Peach sighed as she smoothed out the skirt she changed into aside from her dress. Rosalina stepped out as well, also in a slightly shorter dress. "I will admit I envy you, Rosalina. I have to keep shopping for new clothes, while you can change into something you out your mind to. I would like magic like that."
"I don't believe myself worthy of your envy, Peach. But I do find it a bit flattering." Rosalina smiles. She turned to see the Mario Bros and Bowser coming over to them. "Oh? Where did everyone else go?"
"Everyone has basically scattered across the island... it'll be awhile before all of us completely regroup." Bowser folded his arms. He would allow his children to wander freely. There's no way they could cause any serious damage to the island. He was the one under watch, not them. Though they'd definitely be wary of the Koopalings. Bowser would look Rosalina up and down. Summer clothes for a hot island adventure, even though everyone knew the heat didn't bother her at all, unless she allowed it to.
...The shorter dress exposed her long, smooth legs. It's probably the first time he's really seen them, and now his eyes couldn't help but dart to them every few seconds before going back to her eyes. She seems interested in the entire trip, especially with him.
"Right then. Masters Mario, Luigi. Master...Bowser..." Toadsworth croaked under the Koooa King's gaze, which certainly made him smirk at how nervous he made him. "Keep the Princesses safe and close to you. Make sure neither get into too much trouble."
"Don't worry, Toadsworth. There should be no danger...so long as Bowser keeps a cool head." Mario shrugs, while Bowser simply huffs.
"Daisy..." Luigi begins.
"I know, I know." Daisy waved her hand nonchalantly.
"That's quite right, lovelies! Make sure these beautiful ladies don't come to harm! It might be on your heads!" Kammy called out. "Many things could happen during our trip here. Perhaps even a pirate attack! You have to be sure to protect the booty! It's too precious to be touched by such filthy hands!"
"You're right! Mario, Luigi, you gotta protect the booty as much as you can! Peach's is the biggest, so she's in the most danger!" Daisy beamed while lightly patting Peach on the rear, causing her to gasp. "Watch your backside, Peach! Mario, don't watch it too much! You'll run into something, or possibly the booty itself! It's a priceless treasure!"
"...A part of me might regret bringing you along..." Peach mumbled as she hurried along with Mario in tow, her entire face being red. Luigi's was worse, as he himself was reluctantly dragged away by a laughing Daisy. Bowser and Rosalina were the ones remaining, the former sighing while pinching his snout.
"I think Wendy knew this was going to happen. She's more than happy letting the cards fall where they may...so long as she's the one responsible for instigating them being dropped at all." Bowser muttered. "...Look. I'm gonna get real mad if I have to deal with multiple of these jerks looking at me with such suspicious looks when I'm trying to enjoy myself. So you're gonna walk with me, right next to me."
"Hm? I do not mind, Bowser. I suppose the reason is because of your previous antagonization of this location?"
"Yeah. That. Plus...having you around might keep me calm. I'm sure Junior will make his way back to you eventually, once he's done exploring. But for now...if I'm gonna have your company, I might as well make use of it. Maybe having someone as strong as you watching me will keep me from kicking all their butts."
"Hm...ease the tension caused by your presence. I believe I understand." Rosalina nodded, standing closer to Bowser. He was briefly confused, until his eyes widened at her simply grabbing his arm with both of her own, slightly hugging it. "I suppose this might serve as a bit of a repellant for such glares. Though I also suspect some negatives for this action as well...I prefer to keep close to you as well." Her eyes became slightly curious. "That is...if you'll allow me to."
"...Right, sure." Bowser muttered while looking away with a blush. Rosalina smiles gently as she begins pulling him along.
Kammy could see them off, smirking as she decided to follow them while also keeping a bit close to , Kenny, Toadsworth and Polari. She mentally praised Daisy for how easily she can catch onto mischief action, and play along. The Princesses and Mario Bros should offer some quality information as well. As for Bowser and Rosalina...well, those who call Kammy senile may not be too far off the market, but she still paid attention to things that interested her. For example, the moment, where Rosalina, Daisy, AND Peach changed into slightly more summer-esque clothes, and were each very beautiful indeed. While a fun treat, it wasn't what interested her.
It was Bowser getting a good look at Rosalina in her summer wardrobe. It was casual, but he was very entranced, almost unable to stop gazing at her longer than a few minutes, be it her beautiful face or her shapely legs; her lovely blond hair, her shining blue eyes. And those lovely hips that usually hinted at an exceptional backside, even though Peach was probably better in that specific regard; it definitely didn't take away from Rosalina's physical appeal, of course.
Kammy wouldn't criticize Bowser for staring, she never underestimated the power and influence of physical attraction too often, despite how many might say otherwise. It's usually a very important stage to recognize after all, and it's clear Rosalina is passing that quite effortlessly. There was one other sign that Rosalina has gained much of Bowser's attention. His eyes didn't dart to Peach during the exchange longer than needed. Most of his attention was on Rosalina.
Hm...Isle Delfino has plenty of beaches. Plenty of beaches means plenty of ocean. Plenty of heat. Plenty of beauties like myself. Plenty of chances for...yes. And that's just the beginning... Kammy grinned as she was currently reading a tours guide for the events to take part in various parts of the island. Her grin kept getting larger as she quietly brainstorms, until her teeth was becoming shown. Oh yes, Kammy. This will do, this will do quite nicely. I shall contact Wendy, she'll want in on this...oh yes. Prepare for a VERY eventful and fun time here, Bowser...hehehe...EEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHE!~
Bowser shivered. Even though he was positive there were no super hostile enemies here, he suddenly felt as if his was now in great danger...
The more cautious of our little group, as well as Isle Delfino residents, are mostly worried about the Koopalings or Bowser causing trouble. They should turn to the old Magikoopa they foolishly underestimate. As well as Wendy, who started the idea of this trip in the first place.
... Bowser's not going to be relaxing in the usual way, is he?
Probably not. But his mood might improve regardless, depending on how things go.
Look forward to it, readers.~
Daisy: I can finally fight alongside my precious Weegie! We're gonna be an unstoppable Smashing duo!
Luigi: W-What?!
Daisy: Don't worry Peach, you and Mario can be our partners too! We're gonna crush everyone and everything! We'll be the true winners of that multiverse tournament! Just watch!
Peach: It will certainly be interesting. I'm a bit worried though...
Bowser: ...What have they unleashed...? Stars help us all...
