The island was stocked up with weapons and supplies and most importantly explosives.

An entire army of Piranha Plants, most of them imported after the destruction of Petey Piranha, filled the grasslands.

And inside the same makeshift castle he always made his stay in, was none other than the great Waluigi himself.

Nabbit dashed into the castle and bowed before Waluigi. "I'm here, what's up, what's happening, do you have anything for me?"

Waluigi eyed the rabbit and then focused his gaze forwards, away from him. "Report. Is the world still at peace?"

"Yep. Nothing bad happening. Not much conflict. Well, World 4 and World 6 are in a trade war. Not a real war. Just tariffs and stuff. Hurting their economies though. we can't do much about that. Sad."

"Waaahahahahaaaaa... Good..." Waluigi clasped his fingers together. "It will finally be time to make my mark on the planet Earth, then."

"Yeah, definitely," Nabbit said. "I'm rooting for you. I've been rooting for you. I really believe in you. Pretty obvious when you think about it."

Waluigi ignored him. "It is almost time for my secret operation to commence. Codename: Purple Strike! Waaaaaaaahaaaaaaaah!"

"Waaaahaah, yeah. Pretty cool stuff. Really excited. When are we starting it? Is the purple named after you or me? Since we're both purple."

Once again, Waluigi didn't reply. He knew how to avoid getting trapped in Nabbit conversations. The last thing he wanted to do was get in a three-hour back-and-forth that went nowhere.

The answer to that question of when, though? Waluigi knew it well. It was tomorrow. He was no longer holding back. The world would be his.

"WAAAHHAAAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA! WAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA!"

A/N: And THERE you have it, the end of the epilogue chapters for The Glory of Bowsette. Compared to the two weeks it took to write and post the main story, the epilogue chapters have come at a bit of an excruciatingly slow rate, but I'm hoping that any fans of the story can now rest satisfied that the story has drawn to a firm and conclusive end.

...What's that you say? The chapter right above me is saying the exact opposite? Well, that dastardly Waluigi does seem to get into the way of people's plans sometimes.

I can say definitively though that there is no Glory of Bowsette sequel planned at this time; right now, I'm actively publishing ATL: Stories from the Retrofuture (which, as I have mentioned before, if you liked Bowsette's silly action-packed fun, ATL is definitely up your alley), and I'm about to start work on another novel fairly soon. Along with finally having a full-time job in Japan, this means the prospect of more Bowsette is pretty unlikely in the near future. I've thought about sending a call out for a co-writer who might want to forge ahead with me on the future of the Mushroom World, but I'm not sure if there is much of anyone who would be interested in co-writing a follow-up story in the first place.

So, at least for the moment, the end you get here is the end for good. We can rest easy knowing that Bowsette, Peach, and most family and friends are safe and sound and are unaware of the fact that Waluigi is apparently about to do some nefarious evil stuff to ruin all their lives.

And that's probably a good ending to leave off on.

(If you ARE interested in potentially co-authoring 2 Glory 2 Bowsette someday feel free to send a message over, also)
