"How have you been feeling?" Bowser asked as Bowser Jr cracked his neck from just getting out of the hot tub he and his own dad had,
"Gah, like I had three dumbbell's fall on my back and neck" he replied, "I might have one of the koopa troops come back out and give me another massage if I have to" he growled rubbing his neck with the ice packet he was given. Bowser grabbing the ice pack and adjusting it correctly,
"Well you better start feeling better because we still have to go out to the Mushroom Kingdom. I have a bigger and badder idea!" Bowser smiled while patting Junior's shell. Bowser Jr sighing,
"It's been like a week, wounds take time to heal you know dad" he snarled, Bowser giving him a look not exactly liking his tone of voice,
"Hey! So does a lot of things, but you don't see me complaining" he growled back. Bowser Jr standing up as Bowser put his arms around his chest, "Just go and get some rest for a few more hours and meet me by my own throne " he then turned around almost whacking his tail in Junior's face. Bowser Jr let out a few puffs of smoke out of his nose walking back to his own bedroom trying to crack his neck again,
"Ugh" he moaned walking up to his bed and then jumped onto it. He adjusted his bandana on his neck and grabbed the ice pack putting it onto his back. He looked up at the celling. He didn't exactly know what to do with himself at this point, Bowser continuing to be on his tail about him not caring that his stupid plans never exactly worked. Next to that he needed to figure out a way to meet with Toadette again and talk to her. It had been a month since they had seen each other and he was getting hesitant she would reject him if they were to meet again,
"Young one" he heard Kamek open the door. Bowser Jr lifting himself up from the bed, "Why weren't you there when HE came?" he asked, "Are you turning on both me and your dad?" Bowser Jr staring at him as he pointed his wand near his throat,
"No, I would never do that" He growled, "I just… think dad should you know try something different? He said Kamek looking at him,
"And how do you expect both of us to do that?" he breathed. Bowser Jr starring as his wand began to charge up a bit,
"I just…." He seemed hesitant, "What if I was the one who took over?" he asked, "I bet I could get that princess here faster than my dad ever could, and you know it" he jumped forward making Kamek walk back a few steps. Kamek sighed and turned around,
"I know you want to play pretend Bowser Jr, BUT-"Kamek was cut off by Bowser Jr slamming his foot down onto the floor,
"I'm not trying to play pretend!" he yelled, "It's about me actually making the Darklands better for once. Do you never realize how poor it is? Have you ever thought about you know redesigning it?" he growled, "Or how about booby trapping the entire place when Mario arrives? Do you and dad EVER take anything seriously?" Kamek turning around and starting at the prince once last time,
"We'll play pretend later kid, I think you need some more rush. Good bye for now young one!" he said before walking out and slamming the door shut. Leaving Bowser Jr once again by himself, Bowser Jr turned around looking at the window in his room. His tail dropped to the floor knowing Kamek and Bowser would never listen to him,
"God" he growled while jumping back into bed, "Don't both of them know I'm not little anymore?" he asked himself while slowly drifting back to take a nap, which lasted only a few minutes before his door opened again and Bowser picked up his turtle shell,
"Junior" he said making him stare back at him as he tried to jump down from his grip,
"SERIOUSLY? I thought you were gonna let me rest for a more hours!" he growled Bowser just let out a laugh,
"You've had your rest" he said setting him down and rubbing his very long hair. Bowser Jr growling a little as he messed it up a bit,
"Dad" he said irritated. Bowser grabbing his own sons hand as the two of them walked down from Junior's room to the throne room. Bowser Jr sighing as he sat down across the table with his dad. He folded his arms looking at his son,
"So, you didn't answer Kamek earlier, where were you when we were supposed to fight back? You were in charge of our army REMEMBER." He said Bowser Jr sliding down his seat a bit. Obviously he was put into a bad situation, "Kamek came looking for you and by the time he got to the second floor you were gone, so we had to rearrange the entire army" Bowser Jr sighed almost began to talk about his now girlfriend Toadette and how she unexcitingly came into the castle,
"He was helping downstairs did you not see him down there?" Bowser Jr turned around seeing Wendy standing right above him while staring at Bowser,
"I know him better then you do "Bowser snapped," How you could possibly know that?" he asked giving his son a glare. Wendy just let out a laugh,
"Why Master Bowser, I was the one watching our other row of minions. How did you not see him with the rest of us?" She asked. Bowser stared down at Bowser Jr who was now tugging on his bandana,
"Junior" he snarled. Bowser Jr jumping up,
"Oh it's true" he replied as Bowser growled. Bowser Jr jumped up from his seat, "Wendy had come to me before to help the other Koopalings settle down between Mario." He said jumping off his seat and pointing to Wendy, "I noticed Wendy's concern when Ludwig was fighting with Larry. I helped them bring it out which was why I as late coming back to get my machines ready for Mario" He looked at his dad. Hoping he would believe in the lie he and Wendy had just now made up,
"Just next time stay in your own position" Bowser sighed suddenly picking up a box which Junior cocked his head mysteriously at, "Here these are you as an early birthday gift, since I know your 16th birthday is approaching here in a few days" Bowser Jr jumped back onto his seat as Bowser slid the box to him. Bowser Jr sniffed it with his muzzle and slowly opened the box revealing some bracelets like his only they had spikes on them,
"Spiked cuffs?" Bowser Jr asked as his dad smiled a little,
"You're the only one in the koopa family who doesn't have some yet. I think you're pretty old enough to have them now" Bowser replied as Bowser Jr slid his old ones off and replaced them with his new ones, looking up at his dad as Bowser had something else in his hand a spiked collar,
"I like them" he replied while looking at the collar,
"Good, now hand over your bandana, you're told old for that things, I think it's time we gave you something more mainly!" Bowser smirked, as Bowser Jr held onto his throat. He couldn't give up his bandana it was a special item to him. His dad may think of it as a "bib" which made him look childish but he certainly didn't want to wear the same type of spiked collar his dad always wear,
"I…" he replied as Wendy walked up undoing it his bandana, "WENDY" he yelled as she took it away from his neck. Bowser Jr jumping off from where he was sitting and snapping the collar tightly onto his neck,
"PERFECT!" he said as Bowser Jr rubbed his neck a bit not liking the new collar at all, "Now you're really ready to kidnap your own princess aren't you?" Bowser smiled rubbing Junior's head, making him look up in surprise,
"What do you mean kidnap my own princess?" he asked. Bowser letting out a laugh,
"Whelp like my dad always said, you can gain a kingdoms priority by stealing from a that kingdom. Don't you know I'm going to let you go out and kidnap a princess for yourself and for the future of your kingdom?" he asked. Bowser Jr looking up at him as Toadette flashed back into his mind. The news of this would completely break the poor mushroom girl's heart, "I have the perfect girly for you two she's out in the Snow Kingdom and she's the same species as us!" Bowser Jr tried to looked excited,
"Ehh, that sounds awesome dad" Junior replied while jumping off his chair, "thank you for the early birthday gifts, but you know I think I need to take another shot of aspirin and get to bed you know my body is still aching and all this information has really got to my head and ayah it would just be best if I get some rest" He backed away grabbing his bandana from Wendy and slowly exiting the room,
"I'll think about that princess for you!" he smiled and then ran off faster. Wendy giving Bowser a look,
"I'm sure he's excited for his new life as an adult isn't he?" Bowser asked. Wendy rolling her eyes,
"I'm sure of it King Bowser" she blew a kiss up to the celling as she walked away from him. Bowser Jr on the other hand running into as fast he could into his room and slamming the door shut. He put his bandana into his shell and jumped back onto his bed,
"I really need to see you again Toadette" he breathed finally being able to nap for the rest of the day, trying to get his mind off everything.
