"Toadette...I hope you don't mind me but I got some more paper work that needs to be completed" one Toad guard said as he set down a stack of papers he was struggling to handle. Toadette's own braids begining to stretch out in a frizzled mess as she looked up at the stacked pile of work, her eye lids at this point almost sagging. She had been stuck here in almost all this morning constantly working on paperwork the princess had given to her. Her office was cluttered with paper work everywhere.

"Are you kidding me?!" she yelled at the guard, "Look I get that she wants me to be a guard for her castle. But I didn't know she would add all this other stuff to! I can't help her protect the kingdom in just one sitting!" the Toad stared blankly as he slowly walked away from her,

"I'm sorry I-just came to drop theses off for you" he said hesitantly. Toadette could feel herself bubble up in anger. She pointed her right hand to his face clearly upset,

"LOOK, you get out and tell the others to start working on my other projects that I gave to the princess earlier, and I swear to god if I hear that you're slacking off I will get you out right FIRED? You got me" she shouted picking up her voice so loud that the toad couldn't help but to plug his ears. She looked at him with anger as he slowly walked backwards making himself walk closer to the door and finally open it. Toadette watching him slowly shut the door and listening to his footsteps as he began to ran.

She slowly sat back down on her chair, slightly turning her head to the right and seeing all the new stacks of paper now on her desk. She sighed grabbing another piece of paper from the top, "The Mushroom Kingdom's value of protecting it's rights a 300 papered agreement" It read making her slam her head on the desk, groaning in anger. She slowly grabbed a pen and a calculator out of her desk thinking of how fast this entire thing could take her to all write out and complete.

She almost began to write when she suddenly heard the door open again, not even looking up from her paper she began to yell, "I'm already busy with tons of paper work and if it's more I swear to god I'm gonna choke-" She was stopped by the slam of her office door.

"RELAX, I just came here to talk to you" she looked up seeing Bowser Jr twisting the doorknob to lock it. She looked up at him for a few seconds before her pen slid out of her hand,

"Wha-what are you doing here" she asked almost shivering. He nodded his head walking closer to her desk, looking around the place for a few seconds,

"Jeez are you always this messy?" he asked. Peeling a piece of paper off his foot. She pushed herself back into her seat as he walked even closer looking at the huge stacks of papers. He tilted his head curious,

"Junior, you need to leave like right now" she got up slowly trying to shove him away from her the papers however he was much stronger than her due to his own size, so it was no use as he only pushed himself closer,"Bowser Jr!" she yelled as he grabbed a few stacks of papers looking at them interestingly,

"So they're making you do their taxes and terms of service as your new job?" he asked curious. She quickly grabbed them out of his hands,

"It is much more important than THAT. Secondly I don't have time to mess around with you I have to get this done by 3:00 so I can go out back into guard duty" Her panic beginning to rise as she tried to jump back into her seat, However Junior snatched her pen before she could do anything else,

"Toadette, this is dumb" he growled,"You shouldn't be doing all this paper work,that isn't your job. She literally told you would be a guard right?" he asked. Junior did have a point,

"I mean yeah but I didn't expect them to put my other job on top of the new one" she groaned, Junior took another look giving it a turn before looking up at her and then down to the paper again,

"You need minions" he replied. Putting the paper down she cocked her head. Now, that did sound like a good idea having other toads do her work they would help her and possibly Junior a ton. He suddenly looked up at her, "Now I have an idea-" he was interrupted by her letting out a large sigh,

"Ughhh I don't know I mean..we've been dating what.. for the past couple months? I just… don't know if we should start building some minions that quickly." she sunk herself into the chair blushing slightly, she didn't exactly know if Bowser Jr was listening but the way he dropped the pen he was suddenly holding made her think he might be.

He knew she had some kind of point there, growing a minion army at this young of an age would be hard, "Yeah… you're right...but that's why I was thinking-" she suddenly grabbed the huge stack of papers flipping through them" what do you think you're doing?" he asked only making her deadline anxiety peak up even more.

She hoped it didn't feel to him she was ignoring him, but she just had to complete this entire thing she just couldn't see herself disappointing the Princess, "Sorry Junior I just don't want to lose my job" Suddenly she noticed smoke began to come out of his left nostril his hand clenching into a fist as his blood began to badly boil,

"GRRRR ENOUGH!" he yelled he grabbed the entire stack throwing them all down on the floor leaving them in a mixed order,"You don't need to being doing this, it's making you to stressed" he growled. Toadette suddenly jumping up from her seat in a terror of shock that he would even think to do such a thing,

"JUNIOR! That was a whole days work of stuff that you just screwed up everywhere!" she screamed running over trying to pick up some of the pieces of paper, "You just don't knock over someones stuff like that" Bowser Jr only stared blankly at her before stepping forward.

He grabbed a one of them from off the ground giving it a good look before looking back at her as she picked up more. He took a good few seconds to read it before opening his mouth and spitting out a fireball that basically destroyed the thing. She screamed as he kept picking up papers and basically burning them,"STOP, you're gonna make me lose my own opportunity" she yelled as loud as she could at this point tears beginning to form from her eyes, papers she had picked up now becoming wet from her own tears. Bowser Jr closing his mouth and looking over at her, her tears getting more faster. He quickly walked up to her trying to grab her,

"No no no don't cry!" he said softly and kind of starting to realize maybe he thought about this to fastly,"AHHH I just had this conversation with your friend Toad" he fumbled grabbing her left hand as she dropped the papers she was working on. She couldn't make herself stop as she fell onto the ground feeling as if she was just a giant disappointment to her entire kingdom,

"I want to become as powerful of a leader to you know" she suddenly whaled, "this isn't helping me" her crying only becoming louder. He sighed walking closer to her while kneeling and putting his hand on her shoulder,

"Ok so I'll admit that was dumb of me" he said with a sigh. Her tears continuing to flow down even after his half-ass sorry,"But, you have to understand, your own kingdom is gonna start using you for stuff like my dad was-uh I should more say is doing to me. You're literally looking in the mirror of your future" She closed her eyes for a few seconds. It made her wonder if she really wanted to trust Bowser Jr's words, Bowser was much more stricter than Peach ever is.. at least so she thought,

She opened her eyes again from her trace of thought Bowser Jr looking down at her, his face in deep concern."But this has been a dream of mine..." she responded in a tear-filled tone. He nodded his head,

"and so did I" he replied,"Trust me it's not worth it, I don't know why Toad picked this job even for you, that's why I'm telling you we should just leave everything and revolt-" Toadette stared at him suddenly very angry at him continuously ranting to her about how bad it is to work someone is, espically someone you idolized for years upon years for. She suddenly slammed her right hand on the ground angry,

"WELL it's more different for me than you. So maybe you should let me have a chance at it before you go around literally destroying my stuff!" she yelled almost loud enough to echo throughout the entire castle. She could see the sudden fear in his blue eyes as they shrunk slightly his mouth coming from concerned to a frown. He slowly got off from the floor getting up so suddenly,

"Well..I wasn't trying to put it that way..." he mumbled. Turning around and crossing his arms together. Toadette looking behind his back seeing his tail tip all the way down not feeling the sudden greatest. It made her get up from the ground herself. Although it looked like she wasn't susposed to look at his face, she couldn't help but to try to. He could tell she was looking to as he turned his head very slightly. Her stomach turning a little as she noticed slight tears coming from his eyes. She took a small step forward before he set his arms back down,"I just don't want you to end up like me..." he slowly said. Toadette only staring as he slowly turned around,"The only reason I'm living with you in the first place is because Kamek completely scrapped that idea I-I mean we both planned out some weeks ago for something else. As he put it his own idea with my dad"he said with a frown.

She looked at him with a sign of shock, Kamek did that, for real?"WHAT! We worked all day on that thing!" she replied as Junior nodded his head in disapproval,

"I know" he sighed,"I'm just worried the same thing will happen to you..." He stopped his wording to turn around,"I was trying to give you a suggestion earlier but you kept interrupting me" he sighed. Which he did have a point, she kind of was only speaking upon her own words instead of his, "I know I don't have the brightest heart but I was talking to your friend earlier and he suggested to me that we should take over the Darklands first" his tone of voice getting serious. She walked back slowly, the Darklands? Firstly she knew nothing about it and secondly she didn't even know if she could take over a kingdom as largely as that.

She only nodded her head just glad to see Toad had taken her advice from earlier and had spoken to the dragon turtle, he seemed much more open than normal,"He gave me the idea of minions" Junior continued. Toadette cocking her head, a bit concerned but at the same time having an interest,

"I mean that doesn't sound like such a bad thing, I just don't know how we would beable to get them-"

"Well I was thinking about getting a koopa egg"

"A-WHAT" Toadette screeched back in shock. Was Junior completely unaware of the difference between a Yoshi egg and a koopa one? She wondered, "JUNIOR, are you insane?!" she asked he only nodded his head, clearly misunderstanding the point. She grabbed the side of her desk trying to process his idea in her head. There was no possible way that would go right,"But… you do know those eggs start off as babies right?" she asked. Junior nodded his head,

"Oh, I'm perfectly aware of that" he replied walking closer to her,"It will grow fast enough though"

"You're the exact same species" she responded, "and look at how old you are and how many years it took for you to grow. SECONDLY, where are you even gonna get an egg from. Because you or I certainty can't make one"

Junior just let out a laugh, "PLEASE, they're easy to get in the Darklands" clearly ignoring what she was talking about with the growing up thing,"think about it" grabbing her shoulder, "If we train this thing imagine the possibilities of how we could both take over the Darklands!" he grinned. She looked to her right still very hesitant of this idea. It did sound like fun to raise a minion of her own but...taking care of it...Well.. she was 17 and hmm she did have some experience baby sitting a few times in the past,she looked up and continued to think for a few seconds,"I mean if we don't like it we could always just throw the thing out"

"JUNIOR-" she suddenly yelled out of her trace of thought he laughed again grabbing her hips suddenly and lifting her off the ground,

"I'm kidding" he giggled. Toadette only rolled her eyes as he continued lifting her higher up before slightly kissing her on her cheek,"so you in? This would be a good way to slowly start an army" he asked she gave it a few more thoughts, suddenly smiling,

"I mean, if you can successfully hatch one I don't see why not" she replied. She knew Bowser Jr well enough and how his family was… there was no way he could actually take care of an egg was there? He stared back at her as if she was challenging him,

"Really?" he asked curiously. She jumped down from his arms now suddenly walking towards her desk. She smiled jumping onto her chair she giggled slightly,

"I mean,it sounds like an interesting task. Also a minion just sounds pretty interesting to me. I've never had one of my own before. Sure I've bossed some of theses Toad's around, but let's be honest they're morons and praise me" which was true. Bowser Jr was about to respond when suddenly the two of them heard a knock at the door. Toadette pushing Junior to the side slightly,"go" she whispered. One of the toads guards opened the door as Bowser Jr ran under her desk as quick as he could. He stared up at Toadette and all her suddenly ruined papers, his eyes shrinking slightly,

"Do you need a break-" he promptly backed away slightly. Toadette nodded her head,

"No no, I just..." her mind froze, she had no exact time to think of an excuse to why everything in here was completely destroyed. He nooded his head walking closer into the room,"I...I just don't think this is for me… not this kind of work anyways" she snapped her finger walking to her desk and opening one of the dressers, Junior watching her from under it hesitant as she took out what seemed to be some pieces of paper, she slammed the dresser shut almost making him yelp as the desk moved slightly. She turned to look at the guard again, "See, I've had theses plans for some months now about the Mushroom Kingdoms security" she looked over slightly at her desk again and then turned around once again, "I came up with some plans about how to protect the kingdom from Bowser's own army… I don't exactly know if Mario or Peach would approve of my plans but I was hoping-"

"The kingdom is in perfect shape with us guards you know. You should be lucky enough you're higher up than all of us" Toadette looked back up at him as if he knew what was right… he didn't even give her a chance to speak,

"...You're just gonna let the kingdom continue to be unprotected?" she asked curious the guard shrugged,

"I mean we got enough security from us toads alone" he replied. Toadette felt like she wanted to rip her own hair out, Theses toads were to stupid enough to even keep their own kingdom in touch and it was getting on her nerves,

"Than why does Bowser invade every other month?" she questioned he stood back a little, making her smile slightly knowing she was right on that. For a full few seconds the entire place was quiet before he spoke again,

"We're perfect fine" Toadette felt her braids postion to a nuetrual pose clearly not enjoying how RUDE this guard was being,

"Just get out" she replied

"But-"

"OUT" he rolled his eyes before turning around and running out the door, making her promptly shut it. Bowser Jr sliding himself out of the desk and getting up. He looked up at her as he shook his head slightly,

"you see what I have to deal with?" she asked, Bowser Jr only nodded his head,

"Ahhh same old minions think that they know everything...I've seen it before multiple times. Be a bit more tougher next time and they'll stop arguing with you in no time!" he giggled. But then suddenly gave her a serious look, "hmm.. you know… maybe I take that back being a guard doesn't seem all that bad for you… you could always go against the orders, no ones gonna notice..." He stopped suddenly gasping and getting an idea, "OH! I got an idea what if you showed me all the security flaws that way I could easily remap the entire kingdom and plan how I-I mean we could be able to take it over-" he was interrupted by her giving him a confused look. Did she really just want to trust him right away with something that big.

"...I don't know Junior, I mean it's nice that you want to help me...but no offense, I've only been dating you for a few months...I don't exactly know you entirely yet so I don't want to just give you all that information" He suddenly let out a gasp,

"WHAT-"he shut his mouth holding in his breath, trying not to let his anger get the best of him,"Ok,ok you do got a point, when I was younger I wasn't very trustworthy and my dad...isn't the brightest at times so you got a point. Is there any way I could possibly gain your trust with it then?" She thought about it for a few seconds. While he could be untrustworthy at times… he did seem pretty determined to keep his promise of not going after the kingdom in damaging ways and it's not like he was trying to manipulate or threaten hurt to give out the info she knew,

"Hmm, well you did tell me you were gonna go get that egg right?" she asked, "Well maybe if you can actually hatch the thing and show me you're willing to actually learn how to take care of a minion and on top of that be a bit more respectful to my best friend...I might be willing to give you some info" she replied. This made Junior jump up slightly in excitement.

She only rolled her eyes as he made his way a bit closer,"Oooh, what type of information?" he tilted his head putting his hands together around his chest all excited. She only let out a giggle, there were so many possible things that Junior would definitively like to learn about. There could definitively be some fun added into this.

She let out a chuckle as she grabbed his chin slightly, lifting herself up the ground a bit and just barely reaching his height, "Hmm, like maybe all of the secret ways to get into the castle, or even all the camera's they refuse to fix" Bowser Jr jumped up excited,

"There's broken camera's here?" he asked as Toadette only nodded her head she lifted herself back down,

"Well duh? How do you think you got in here un noticed? The princess never even has enough funds to fix this place" she laughed. This seemed to heavily excite him. Knowing this information would be super important if he wanted more ways to sneak into the castle without getting caught, "...just don't tell Toad I gave you this information" she said suddenly with the sudden thought of him came into her mind.

Junior nodded his head, "I just talked it out with him to" he replied. He looked over again seeing the sun out in full bloom for the afternoon, "hmm, well what do you want to do before I get going back to the Darklands to grab that egg I was talking about?" he asked curious. Toadette looked out herself… they couldn't exactly talk for to much longer either as she knew the princess would be back to ask about the mess.

She sighed walking towards the door, "Well I think firstly I should talk to the princess" She looked over at him slightly"...Junior can you come with?" He froze in place. Giving her a stare,

"I can't just come over there…they're gonna think I'm being suspicious" he lifted himself up slightly with a concerned looked, "If people knew I was here my dad would find out so fast...and I just don't- ugh you know what never mind I'm gonna be on my own for now" he growled. While disappointing, she did get his point. Going up to the princess like nothing would definitely be suspicious, the star festival was one thing but on a day like today? There would be no chance he would get off the hook,

"Can you at least give me some advice?" she asked curious. While hesitant at first, he eventually only let out a sigh,

"The only thing I can tell you is to tell her you're looking for something around security and adventure. Not something involving taxes that's to stressful and boring" Toadette rolled her eyes,"thanks for the advice dumb-head" she thought to herself as he made his way to the door faster than she could,"Never do anything you're uncomfortable with...or I guess what I'm uncomfortable with" he quickly responded before opening the door quickly almost as if he was in a rush to leave...not from picking up the egg or anything but it generally seemed as if he was maybe embarrassed or like he felt he was being to much of a help.

As soon as the door opened he jumped to run away back to where he was hiding before. Toadette watching him as he made his way out, his tail swishing back and forth in a lowered position, seeming with him wanting to leave as fast as possible,"Junior" she said making him stop in his tracks turning his head slightly to give her a look, "thank you..."
