"I'm so proud of you Junior! You came up with this all by yourself?" Bowser asked. Bowser Jr nodded his head. Of course he knew secretly Toadette had helped him, but his dad didn't need to know that.
Bowser put his hand inside his shell for a few seconds and pulled out another piece of paper giving his son a smile, "Here" he said handing the sheet over to his son, "I want you to build this for me" he laughed Bowser Jr lifting his eye brows at the giant Bowser robot his dad wanted him to build,
"What… all by myself?" he asked Bowser letting out a laugh,
"Yourself and the minions. I have enough in the storage room for you to build it" Bowser laughed, "It's gonna be the ULTIMATE way to take over the Mushroom Kingdom" Bowser roared. Bowser Jr rolling his eyes at his own dad. Bowser Jr knew his dad's plan was stupid. But he sighed knowing if he didn't work on this machine his dad would be disappointed in him. and he for sure didn't want that to happen. Bowser rubbed Junior's back and begin to turn around, "Get started soon Junior" he smiled before walking away.
Bowser Jr's tail standing neutral as he looked at the paper. Suddenly he heard a sob a few feet behind him. His tail lowering even more as he turned around and noticed Toadette walking up to him with tears in her eyes. Bowser Jr cocked his head as he came closer to her. What was making her so upset? He wondered,
"J-Junior" she cried, "He won't talk to me" she said suddenly saddened Bowser Jr suddenly then remembering about Toad and why she was crying,
"Eh. Toad's that way with everyone in the Darklands if I'm honest" Bowser Jr yawned, "He will forgive you after a while anyways" he said, "I have some work to do anyways. I don't have time for your friend" Bowser Jr adjusting his bandana a little as he looked down at his father's blue prints he had given the young koopa earlier, "I have to start working on this stupid design my dad gave me earlier" Toadette whipping her tears away from her eyes as she looked at the paper,
"Robot Bowser?" she asked. As she looked at the plans on the paper, "Who is gonna build this thing?" she asked
"Me" Bowser Jr replied putting his hand to his chest like it was an honor. Toadette eyes glittered as her tone of voice suddenly sounded more excited than sad,
"Well could I help?" she asked. Bowser Jr letting out a gasp in shock,
"I don't know I mean… it does involve me and the minions working on it…" then Bowser Jr thought about it. She was the one who did create all of those paper crafts in the Mushroom Kingdom and they were huge enough to destroy Kamek's ideas, which was very impressive. Toadette starred at him really wanting him to come up with his own answer, "Tell you what" he replied, "How about I show you around on how to build this thing and if you like it you can start helping me with it" he said which made her eyes glitter in excitement. Surely he could use Toadette to his advantage, knowing if she was as skilled as she said she was it would be so much easier to take over the Mushroom Kingdom.
Bowser Jr adjusted his bandana and he began to walk back to his work place behind the castle once again. The pink girl following him in interest, "Firstly if you want to build this thing we're gonna have to use scrap metal" he said as he took out a key from his shell and walked up to what seemed to be a giant shed, "Luckily my dad has some laying around in here" he laughed. He gripped the key and unlocked the door using it. Toadette watching curiously as he pulled out tons of metal scraps, one even being bigger then him. In fact so big, that it was just as big as the shed, which was tall. which was exactly what he wanted,
"Are you sure you can pick that up?" she asked Bowser Jr nodded,
"I've picked up things much bigger than this, I can drag it back" he replied pulling it up onto his back. He began to walk a head of her and ran back to the door that held all of his machines.
Taking out the blue sheet again and dropped the metal onto the floor. He rolled his head to his side for a few seconds allowing the bones of his neck crack to his liking, "First off" he said as his tail sprung upwards, excited to get started on this thing," We need to cut the right piece's out" Toadette watching as he grabbed a saw and began cutting around the metal carelessly. He was trying to impress her to the best he could with his building ability. A few minutes he looked at her again as he already had two pieces cut out, "I like to solder early" he adjusted his bandana bringing it down to his chest as he breathed in slowly. Surely he needed enough fire to be able to work fast enough to his dad's needs.
He breathed out letting enough air hit his throat allowing flames of fire to spark out of his mouth. It felt so nice in his own opinion to finally be able to breathe out large amounts of fire now. When he was younger it was so difficult to even let out one flame. His dad would have to sit with him every few weeks in order for him to figure out how to finally throw out a flame. He remembers it being one of his biggest achievements. It was worth the practicing to as Toadette clapped her hands excitedly as he blew the flames out of his mouth. This girl really would get impressed by anything she was into, no matter what kingdom side she was on,
"Wow, how did you learn how to breathe so much of it like that?" she asked grabbing another metal piece. Bowser Jr smiled puffing out his chest and putting his left hand on it standing proudly,
"By myself of course, my dad tells me I'm faster than him" he laughed. Well it was sort of true, though most of his learning skills came from his dad teaching him more often than not. Toadette eyes lit up again as she grabbed what the solder metal and the rest of the metal,
"I think you could make one big piece with this just multiple pieces" she said looking at them both. Bowser Jr looked confused. But Toadette set down the pieces and grabbed the blue prints right out of his hands as she grabbed the saw, "See your dad has the measurements for this all wrong." She pointed to the cheek bone of the giant Bowser head, "your building a giant bowser head right?"
"Well I mean yeah" Bowser Jr replied putting his hands to his sides as his tail swished back and forth interested in what idea she had,
"Well you see Junior, if you want to make a tougher machine you have to use bigger pieces. This cheek bone right here is 5'8 feet when it should really be 7'8 that way it's protected from attacks" she took the saw and started cutting out her design. Bowser Jr lifting his neck watching the young pink toad run around, her braids running around her chubby body as she walked around, something he barely ever noticed happened when she moved, "there" she said as she finished the design. Bowser Jr lifting an eye brow,
"You expect this to fit my mechanical Bowser?" he inquired as she nodded. She handed him the blue prints back. Confidently smiling,
"You'll have to times everything by two and remember to take out small a part that won't fit, that's what makes a machine more durable" she kissed him on the nose. Bowser Jr sighed was it a good idea to trust her though? He had been working with machinery that was designed by his dad for so long. Maybe getting advice from a young girl who knew what she was doing would be better than him, as much as he didn't want to admit that. Then again this project could also make his dad so proud of him, that maybe for doing such a good job he would get an award. He gasped thinking about getting the new game system that was coming out soon, he surely wanted that, or maybe even a new modification to his paint brush, all valuable choices. Toadette looked up at the sky as it started to reach sun down,
"I really should get going" she said, "There's a festival going on later tonight you should come with me" Toadette suddenly out of nowhere pronounced. Bowser Jr looked up at her shocked. The Mushroom Kingdom again? The toads clearly disliked him, "I was gonna go with Toad… but he's still mad at me… so I mean… you don't have to, but I think it would be nice of you." She gleamed. Bowser Jr looked at his blue prints… dad didn't need this so quickly did he? He wondered but at the same time how would people react if he was near Princess Peach's castle? The thought gave him anxiety. But feelings aside it would be a good way to get out and do something non-Dark Lands related,
"I would like to go" his voice timid but tempted. Toadette gasped jumping up excitedly,
"This would be such a good experience for you" she suddenly grabbed his hand making him blush. He didn't know how well it was gonna go, but hopefully not so bad that he gets rioted out of the kingdom, because so many toads feared him…
