"NOW, you're allowed back in the castle Toadette" Toad said as the two toads walked inside Princess Peach's court, "Today's the reception of Bowser and Jr's defeat" Toad happily walked up to his position waiting for the princess's arrival. Toadette sighed as Toad waited for her to stand next to him. She looked over seeing a few other toad's talking to one another seemly the Toad brigade to be in fact. She smiled walking over to the three toad's happy to see them chatting,

"Hello boys" Toadette smiled adjusting her dress. The toad brigade smiled delighted to see their friend,

"Toadette are we glad to see you! The Captain went on his own for a bit. He told us you might be here" Green Toad said adjusting his outfit. Toadette smiled,

"Well I mean I can't miss the reception" she replied still smiling at the toads. The three of nodded,

"I really hope this doesn't happen again, Bowser and Jr both are just the WORST" Blue toad while pushing up his glasses. Toadette nodding in agreement,

"I heard Bowser Jr's birthday is tomorrow" Green Toad replied, "Little snot is turning 16" Yellow Toad let out a laugh,

"HA, he probably has to spend it by himself" Yellow said, the two other toads beginning to laugh with him. Toadette adjusted her dress, which made her braids swish back and forth as the Toads looked at her once again,

"I heard hints he got in giant trouble with his dad because he left his own troop position" Blue said while pushing up his glasses,

"You're quite lucky you never seem to hang out with anyone like him, Toadette" Yellow said looking up at Toadette as she back away, "Do you plan to ever do anything as an adult? You know Toad is perfect husband material" Toadette let out an irritated noise,

"We've been over this, Toad is my best friend and guardian besides he's even stated to me he's asexa-"she was cut off by Peach's castles door opening up,

"Well at least do something that is not designing those machines all the time" He replied, "You're one of the only few toad girls who live in the Mushroom Kingdom, be pretty" Yellow smiled Toadette looked over at the other two Toad recruits who agreed,

"WHAT" she said her voice almost cracking, "I don't have to do that-"again she was cut off but this time by Toad, she let out a sigh never exactly getting to finish her sentences.

"EY, Captain Toad's brigade they need all three of you" he said as the brigade began to run off. Toadette following Toad as he walked behind the castle, "All three of them? They're stupid" Toad said continuing to walk behind the castle and up to some stairs that lead to the balcony. The two Toads's walking up them,

"I mean they're my friends" she looked at her own friend sad. Toad stopping at the stair he was on and turning to look at his own best friend,

"I understand, but you do realize they're only using you because you're a girl? They're being flirtatious" then he groaned a bit and shivered, "erch, thinking about that makes me cringe" he said walking up again and almost reaching the top stairs, "But, I'm taking you the other way in so they can leave you alone" Toadette smiled as Toad walked inside. She sighed walking through the throne room where Princess Peach's throne had been restored. As Toad slowly walked away, she thought to herself about Bowser Jr again. Knowing it was his birthday tomorrow she thought maybe she should stop by Bowser's Castle and give him something. Then again she didn't know how many people would react if she told them where she was going, ESPICALLY Toad.

She continued walking finding the others flooding the castle waiting for Princess Peach who was somewhere,

"Hey, aren't you going downstairs with the others?" someone suddenly asked, Toadette looking a head as she saw Starlow heading towards her in a somewhat fast paste. She sighed,

"I knew someone was gonna notice me" she said Looking up at Starlow, "He could you keep a secret?" she asked. Starlow at the young Mushroom girl in shock, but interested,

"I bet I could" she replied, "Don't make any promises though" Toadette nodded knowing what would happen if it was leaked out,

"So you know Bowser Jr?" she asked as Starlow nodded her head, "Well tomorrow is his birthday and I was just thinking about giving him a gift you know, because he doesn't really have any friends… but you know people keep making fun of him and he's actually a really nice person and I just want to approach him again from the last time we met. I'm just scared he would reject me" She blushed. Starlow looked at her looking as if her eyes were about to glitter up in excitement,

"That's a lovely idea. Just don't encourage him to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom again, how many times has he attacked it?" she asked making Toadette shrug. Starlow flu even closer to her checking out how she looked, "Well if you're going to impress Bowser Jr, you're gonna have to change up yourself a little. Like maybe I don't know lose some weight? Serious how much do you weigh" Toadette changing from happy to angry,

"EXCUSE you? I'm not fat" she gritted. Starlow rolled her eyes,

"Also your braids are completely out of order, why do you make them flow out of place?" Starlow asked angry. Toadette shrugging. Starlow rolled her eyes pulling her braids back using her teeth and flying under just below her dress and fixing it for her,

"Anything else you're going to judge me on?" Toadette asked,

"I'm not judging you I'm just giving you advise" Starlow scuffled smelling her, "You smell nice at least, I'll give that to you. What do you use?" she asked Toadette getting a little irritated,

"Starlow, I think I'll be ok without the entire spoof up" she said pushing her back a little, "I think I just need to get him something and I'll be fine" Starlow floated back up as her star fluttered up,

"Well… that works to" she replied with a sigh. Toadette blinked as Starlow fluttered down near the stairs,

"Well.. if you're going to just do that, go into the kitchen, you'll find some cupcakes you can give him on his special day" Starlow replied a little disappointed that Toadette didn't exactly like the idea of prettying herself up. Toadette blushed and adjusted her dress again, allowing Starlow to break a smile,

"Sure let's get some and head to the front of the castle" Toadette giggled, as she took some steps down the stairs looking at Starlow as she made her way down, "I'll keep the dress idea up for you though. Have fun with the Mario bro's later" she smiled giving Starlow a kiss on the cheek,

"You have fun with Bowser Jr" she laughed blushing a little as the two of them made their own ways.
