Rewritten: 2020/03/02.

Do you like pets? I like pets. Never had one personally, although we did sort of adopted a cat, which then had three kitties, but that was, like, officially after I left for university, so honestly, I'm a bit sad about that. ...oh, right, welcome back to The Super Crown Phenomenon!

In the last chapter, stuff happened, and stuff stuff stuff.

Back to... well, it's still a flashback. This still takes place before Bowsette's booming business in Toad Town.

Take it away, Shirley.

Bowsette, after storming off from his... uh, her deadly Koopalings (they weren't deadly, but it makes her prouder to describe them as such, and it sounded way cooler too), stopped in front of a passage in her hallway leading downstairs. She rubbed her chin, musing what could possibly be down there.

"I seriously need to keep better track of my own castle's layout," she muttered.

A few seconds later, her eyes widened in realization.

"Oh yeah! My pet Chain Chomp!" She laughed to herself, casually walking down the large flight of stairs. Is that what we call it? Flight of stairs? Ah, whatever. "Can't believe I forgot about that. I just fed her yesterday, what am I talking about?"

When she got to the bottom, she saw her pet Chain Chomp sleeping soundly. This wasn't just any normal Chain Chomp, however- its chains were gold. Why? Because that was cool, and Bowsette- when she was still Bowser- thought it was what such an amazing lord as himself deserved.

As she moved closer, the snot bubble of the Chain Chomp popped, and the ball of death opened its eyes. It glanced at Bowsette, before barking happily.

"WOOF! WOOF!" Seriously, its voice is just a dog. Don't think much about that.

Bowsette grinned. It recognized me at first glance! She felt almost as proud of her pet as a parent would be. Really, when she first returned to the castle after totally discovering the crown- again no thanks to that pink Toad girl loser- Kamek was shocked beyond belief, and even her faithful Koopalings and son Bowser Jr. didn't recognize her at all. They pestered her with requests to become their new mother or queen, which was hilarious, considering she was actually already their awesome king.

Nevertheless, the thought of that recent memory amused her to no end.

As the girl reached in to pet her... uh, pet, she cleared her thoughts as her hands felt the smooth, metal surface of the living creature. Seriously, don't think too much about it. Marioverse life is full of bullshittery. Back on track... Bowsette paused upon an idea dawning upon her.

Huh... She dug around her clothes/shell (somewhere), and pulled out a perfectly intact copy of the Super Crown. This thing... turns people into Peach, right? The girl then glanced at her pet. I mean, not gonna lie, I feel a bit like a monster playing God here, but... She gulped. Slowly, she brought the crown inside her cell.

The Chain Chomp (with gold chains) curiously followed her hand with its eyes, equally curious to whatever it is Bowsette was intending to do.

Gently, the Koopa queen placed the crown on her pet. This should be okay...

Then, the cliched poof of smoke appeared and enveloped the entire room.

After waiting a few seconds for the dust to fade away, Bowsette stared what was virtually a carbon copy of Peach, but with black hair, sharper eyes, and of course, the signature sharp teeth Chain Chomps had. ...oh, and also golden shackles and chains. She couldn't help but smile, even as she tried to suppress it.

Holy shit, these crowns are awesome! she thought.

After all, in her possession now were crowns that can transform its wearer into Princess Peaches. Sure, there were some rather noticeable differences because fuck copyright laws, and obviously, to better represent the true identity of the crown's wearer. But regardless of what happened, in the end, she's basically making more of Peach, and if you didn't think that was an awesome discovery, then Bowsette seriously questions your mental health.

She grinned and rubbed her hands evilly. Oh hell, I can greatly make use of this...

"...ah...?" the girl in front of her, somehow, voiced.

Bowsette didn't react for a while, before she fully registered the sound. "Huh?"

"Aauu... aai... I..." Gradually, the princessified Chain Chomp (with gold chains) became able to form a word. "I... ahn... ahmm.. I am..." Then, she looked up at the standing queen, tears forming in her eyes. "I am... un... unneeded?"

...say what now? The Koopa king... uh, queen now, scratched her head. Where'd that come from? "I, uh... no, you're not... unneeded. I think?"

"Okae... oh, okay..." the girl said. Then curiously, she looked up and noticed a similar crown resting on her owner's head. ...master's, head. ...queen's, head? Oh, hell, I feel like it's extremely wrong to say 'owner' now that she's not a pet and is a princessified... humanoid... girl. "Whad... what's... that?" she asked.

"This? Oh." Bowsette grinned and took off her crown, reverting to the giant monstrous form (normal form) he had prior. "It's something I totally discovered a while ago. The Super Crown!"

"Shoo... Super Crahn... Crown?" the Chain Chomp (with gold chains) repeated.

"Yep! The Super Crown!" Putting it back on, he then reverted to his Peach form. "These babies turn whoever wears it into, get this... Princess Peach! ...clones. Princess Peach clones, because copyright stinks," she said.

Her ex-pet tilted her head. "Copyride... copyright?"

"Uh, legalities." Bowsette cleared her throat. "Anyways, all you need to understand is that these make you beautiful."

"Bew... beautifuh...tiful." The girl blinked a few times, before her cheeks turned a slight pink. "Am I... am I, beau, beautiful...?"

Bowsette shrugged. "Uh, sure. Yeah, you're beautiful." As the Chain Chomp (with gold chains) smiled brightly, shaking her head in embarrassment, the kinda-tyrant rubbed her chin as an idea formed inside her head. Wait a second... never mind the profit. If I spread this... I get more Peach clones. And if I do that... Her eyes widened. Holy guacamole. Did I just... stumble upon the perfect harem tool...!?

You sure did, buddy. You sure did.

"I didn't need your confirmation for that."

Get on with the flashback, whacko.

Rolling her eyes, Bowsette proceeded to ignore me and turned back to her ex-pet. "Alright, I got a plan."

"Y-yeth... yes!" the girl exclaimed and straightened up.

Huh, cheerful. The queen pointed to her. "From now on, you're, uh... Chomp... Chompette! Yeah, Chompette! Princess Chompette." She rubbed her chin again, before shrugging. "Yeah, Princess Chompette. What'cha think?"

"Lord Bausuh... Lord Bowser, is giving me... name?" Her eyes widening, the girl eventually smiled (again) and nodded eagerly. "Yes! I am... I am Chompette!"

"Atta girl. Now, your mission!" Bowsette waved her arms around, intending to signify the importance and large scale of this so-called mission she was giving, but honestly, just ending up looking stupid. "Don't be a prick." Sheesh. Good thing her subordinate thought otherwise, huh? "Your'e to take these crowns and spread it across the world! Get more people turned into Peach! So that I can take everyone all for myself!"

Chompette tilted her head. "I... see...?" Then, she frowned. "...then I...'m... unneeded?"

"...how?"

"If... if Lord Bowser has enough princesses... will I be... gone? Or, or, thron... thrown away?"

Whoaly shit, dark. "Uh, not necessarily." Bowsette rubbed Chompette's hair. "No, not throwing anyone away. I want everyone. All the princesses in the world? I want them all," she said. "Peach? Non-Peach? Apples and tomatoes? All of them will become Peaches, and they'll all be mine. And I don't throw food away, so you're not going anywhere!"

Chompette recovered her smile, seemingly satisfied. "Okay!"

"...oh, and don't worry!" the queen said. "As my former pet and one of my trusted minions, I'll give you a higher ranking or priority or whatever huzzah than other, lesser Peach clones!" she said. "Ain't that amazing or what?"

I'm... I'll be important! Chompette thought. "Y-yes! I love that!"

"Atta good girl!" Bowsette cheered. "Now, repeating again, your mission is to turn everyone else into Peaches. Starting with other Chain Chomps, of course! You, Princess Chompette, will now be unofficially the official leader of the future Chompette...s, uh, wait." She blinked. "Oh, yeah, I think I see a problem with this naming template. Uh..."

"What's... the problem?" Chompette asked.

"It could get confusing if all the Chain Chomps become Chompettes... okay then," the Koopa eventually said. "From now on, you're Chompie, the princess of all future Chain Chompettes. Got that?"

"Chompie... I'm Chompie!" the girl repeated. "I love it!"

"Good! Now what say we get up there and start spreading the crown?" Bowsette asked.

"Yes!" Chompie couldn't be any happier, and so, the two ran up the stairs, leaving the one of many basements of the castle.
