"Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday Bowser Jr, Happy Birthday" Bowser slammed the giant cake onto the table, as Bowser Jr looked at it interested, "TO YOU" Bowser laughed sliding the cake towards him as the cake read, "Happy 16th birthday Junior" Bowser Jr cocked his head as he took a fork and jabbed it into the cake. He sighed almost wanting to take a bite before his dad patted him on the back,
"I can't believe you're 16" he said rubbing his hair, "you're becoming the Darklands own evil master mind so quickly" he chuckled. Bowser Jr gulping as he adjusted his collar and his hair, "You enjoy your cake, I'm going to go and set up new plans" Bowser roared as he began to walk away. Bowser Jr put the folk into his mouth almost gagging at how dry the cake had tasted,
"Ew Kamek made this" he whispered to himself. He took a few more bites, it always tasted like the same thing as every single birthday he had, he wished he could have something that was actually home cooked and really good, instead of just being whipped up really fast by Kamek with his magic. Than that's when he slammed his face on the table.
Who was he kidding? This birthday was a bust, his dad was proud of him, but wasn't exactly proud of himself. Before wanting to give up and cry into a bunch of tears, he's heard a sudden door knock. He sighed getting up from his seat and heading towards the front door. He knew it was probably just someone his dad had delivered to come over or something, like he always did every year. He growled a little while opening the door,
"Hello, my da-"he stopped talking as Toadette stood in front of him holding a cupcake in her right hand with a candle on it,
"Happy birthday" she blushed handing him the cupcake, "I tried. Starlow suggested I pretty up myself, I didn't do much except adjust my dress." She blushed Bowser Jr grabbing the cupcake and hugging her,
"That's alright" he said rubbing his muzzle onto her face making her giggle. When he pulled away Toadette tilted her head noticing something different about him,
"Did you get rid of your bandana?" she asked. Bowser Jr sighed as he shut the castle door and walked with her out into the Darklands,
"More like forced to take it off" he growled taking a bite out of the cupcake, it was from Princess Peaches kitchen he could tell as he used to raid that place all the time when he was younger. He shoved the rest of the chocolate cupcake into his mouth and licked his lips as he and Toadette sat down near a stream of lava. Toadette giggling a little as he cleaned his mouth with his tongue. Bowser Jr blushed; she always liked how she stared at him interested in how he looked,
"Well I think you look better with your bandana on, in fact I think you should keep it on" she smiled, "You don't need a collar to be reminded of your father you are your own self" Bowser Jr gasping a little as she grabbed his collar and took it off his neck. She smiled keeping the collar in the grip of both of her hands. With all her strength she snapped the collar in half and threw it into the lava. She whipped her hands as the two of them watched the collar burn under the lava,
"Thanks" he said quietly still quite quiet. Toadette cocked her head and sat next to her again, "dad gave it to me as an early birthday gift. He wanted me to grow out of my bandana, he told me it makes me look like less of an adult" he sighed, "he gave me these spiked cuffs to" he turned to show off his wrist to Toadette, who looked at them interested. He breathed again,"He's been wanting me to change my pony tail to. He says I look more like him with it off, and apparently less like a girl" Bowser Jr noticed Toadette turning her head seeing his hair flow down to the tip of his muzzle,
"Well your pony tail seems stressed" she said suddenly lifting herself up to touch his hair. He growled a little when he felt her start to grab onto it and his hair, "I don't think you have to take it off, but" she pulled back some of his hair into his pony tail and make a fluff of hair that went down from the tip of his ponytail to his eyebrows, "there" she giggled.
Bowser Jr looked up blushing at the sudden change of hair style. He touched his hair from the back out of curiosity, noticing how it slid back to the top of his head and he felt more comfortable that way. He smiled feeling a bit of relief from his tight pony tail. No wonder it was so tight when he always put it on! Toadette smiled as he relaxed his body a bit more,
"Now I look a bit more like myself then my dad" he laughed. Toadette looking down at his chest making him cock his head curiously,
"There's just one thing missing" she said, "You should put your bandana back on" she looked at him smiling. Bowser Jr backing his head a bit in shock. Dad would kill him if he put the bandana back on! He couldn't possibly do that! Toadette touched his right arm, "do you still have it? I think you look so much better with it on" she giggled while giving him a kiss. Bowser Jr blushing a little as he put his right arm into his shell and grabbed his bandana out of it,
"Yeah but I don't know if my dad will-"he was interrupted by her sliding it up towards his neck, encouraging him to put it back on. He sighed, knowing it would probably making her more interested in him and to add on, she already destroyed his collar.
He blushed at the young toad girl and wrapped his bandana around his neck again. Her face cracking a large smile as he looked so perfect to her, "You look so much better now" Toadette uttered while she grabbed onto both of his hands, "Gosh, imagine when you become a real leader, I bet you will have so much in your army" she blushed. Bowser Jr sighing as she kissed him again,
"Ehh, it depends on what my dad wants me to do. I still have a large support group, but it's just not enough for me" he gave Toadette a serious look when she tried to jump onto his lap. He closed his eyes for a few seconds as Toadette hugged him,
"I can always help you" she replied. Bowser Jr getting a bit annoyed with her contiously grabbing him. He pushed her away a bit and put his head down.
"Well…my dad's been talking and well… he's trying to encourage me to date someone with a high royalty as me. Basically a princess and well are you a princess?" he asked tilting his head. Toadette nodding,
"… as far as I know no. Does that mean we can't be together?" she asked looking as if she was going to cry. Bowser Jr not wanting to make the young toad cried gave her a kiss on the lips,
"Not if we can keep it a secret from my dad" he said staring at her happily. She kept blushing as Bowser Jr was enjoying his moment with her,
"JUNIOR" he suddenly heard a giant rawr. He gasped suddenly remembering his dad and his own birthday. He let go of Toadette and jumped up,
"I have to go, come back when you can" he said beginning to run, Toadette watching him from the behind. Though he didn't want to leave Toadette quite right now, his father was always important. He ran faster and finally caught up to his dad who had his Clown Car. Bowser Jr staring at it as he had put some new stuff into it,
"Here, I installed a laser for you" Bowser laughed as the Clown Car opened its mouth revealing a large canon like laser hole, "You're going to need it for my plan anyways" he smiled and then frowned when he noticed Junior's bandana, "…. And you took off the collar didn't you?" he asked sighing. Bowser Jr nodded his head a little hesitant by his dad's reaction,
"Yeah, but hey at least I adjusted my hair so now it's not so long in the back" he smiled. Bowser Jr just put his hand on his head,
"You know, I've already talked to you about it. You aren't going to be so tough looking as an adult if you keep yourself looking like that." He growled, "but eh I don't want to ruin your birthday since you're my son and not so blasted two-face jerk from the Mushroom Kingdom. That and I'm tired, just enjoy the modification on your Clown Car we will get started on invading another kingdom in the next few days" Bowser then walked away really disappointed. Bowser Jr sighed knowing he was mad but at this point he just wanted to keep to Toadette's words and have a great rest of the day.
