A/N: Hey. Well, here's chapter four. So last chapter we went over Peach's little theory on humans, and Fawn from the looks of it found out who Jimmy was. Omg sorry total spoiler (no it's not) so now we get to see how things are going in Darklands again. Enjoy

Chapter 4: We can improvise!

Bowser

I sat at my desk, swamped at paperwork. Apparently shirking work doesn't make the problem go away. It just makes it pile up. I feel like I've gone through this lesson a few times before.

Ugh, this sucks! I could be working on the blueprints of a new machine with Iggy or something productive. But no, I'm stuck doing paper work. Stars, it'd probably be more useful if I used it to wipe my ass!

I finished another paper and put it to the side on the pitiful pack of complete papers. I compared this pile of a few papers to the pile left to do, which looked almost two feet tall! I'd been working at it for almost an hour. I'd be working faster if it weren't for the fact that it was so boring. I literally had no morale to keep going, and not just daydream.

Argh! Why do I have to do this!? What do I have to look forward to after this stupid work!?

I remembered that I had Peach coming over to look forward to. I shot up in my seat. That's right! Peach is coming over! Oh crap, I can't just have her sit in her room while I do this work. She wouldn't like that…oh, I got it! I'll arrange a dinner date! Oh she'll love that! I know I will…

I began to fantasize about what it would be like, when I shook my head to focus. No! I have to pay attention now!

I grabbed my phone on the desk and dialed Kamek's number.

After a few rings, he answered. "Hello, milord. What is it?"

"Kamek! Listen, as Peach gotten here yet?"

"No…are you doing your work?" He asked, exasperated.

"Shut up! I'm close," I lied. "Arrange a dinner date for me and her in the dining hall. Make it around…seven."

"Will you finish by then!"

"Yeah, yeah!" I answered, annoyed. "Also, tell them to bring out the two person dinner table in the dining hall. And cook up something good. And make it romantic looking."

Kamek sighed. "I'll arrange it. Now please hurr-"

I hung up the phone abruptly, tearing through my work with new found vigor, thinking of the night with Peach.

Jimmy

Carrying the girl in a sac over my shoulder, I climbed in to the Clown Copter. I carefully put the girl on the ground next to me and made a speedy getaway.

Once the castle was just a speck in the distance, I sighed in relief.

Hah! That really was easy! All I had to do was sneak around a bit and BAM! There she was, my target, sitting in a room all by herself, and not even paying attention to anything! I just snuck right up on her. And I know that it's Peach, for sure. She's definitely a human, and she's DEFINITELY a girl. I mean, her puppies were right out for everyone to see. I heard human girls have big boobs, but damn, I don't think she was even wearing a bra! ...Okay I'm being a pervert. Bowser'd kill me if he knew I thought like that about his girl. The important thing is, I got her, no prob! Kamek's gonna be so happy, I'll be a high ranking soldier in no time!

Kamek

"You idiot!" I yelled. The subject of my fury shrank back, with the limp body of a girl. A girl that wasn't Peach.

It was the most stupid thing. I was sitting at my desk, just doing my work, when that Jimmy barges in with a stupid grin. He says he got Peach, so I ask him to take her out of the sack. And there's another girl instead!

What kind of idiot messes that up!? How does he kidnap the wrong person!? Even if he didn't know what she looked like, which doesn't make sense since she's the princess, she's the only human girl there! Speaking of which, where did this girl come from!?

"I uh..." He stammered.

"Can you explain just how you screwed this up?" I asked vehemently.

"W-well..." Jimmy started, rightfully nervous. "I...may not know what Peach looks like..."

"You don't know what she looks like!?" I asked incredulously. "How!?"

"Well...I don't watch TV much, so I never see addresses on her there...and I never cross her path when she gets kidnapped..."

"What about those assistance missions?" I asked suspiciously.

"I always helped by diverting attention. By the time we regrouped, she was already in a sack, so I couldn't see her. It hadn't realized that I didn't know what she looked like until after you sent me...I figured that Peach'd be the only human girl there! So I just assumed."

I groaned and rubbed the bridge of my nose, trying to stop a future headache. I tried to relax. "Where did you even find her?"

He shrugged anxiously. "I don't know, I just saw her sitting in a room, and assumed she was Peach."

I knit my brows. "So you found her in the castle?"

He nodded. "Yes sir, I did."

I rubbed my chin in thought.

Who is this girl? We haven't seen a human surface on this planet since Wario and Waluigi, and that was a long time ago. What could this mean? Hmm...she might be important. Maybe Peach knows something about her. Hm...we could use her to our advantage somehow. Maybe this wasn't a complete screw up...

"Hm," I drawled. "There is potential in this girl."

Jimmy's eyes lit up. "Really!? How!?"

I sighed. "I don't know, but she may be important. There aren't many humans in this world, so maybe she's important somehow if she was in Peach's castle..."

"So what do we do?"

I glared and said, "For now, you'll take her to Peach's room, and you'll be responsible for her until we figure out what to do with her. This is your mess, so as such; you'll be responsible for her!"

He frowned and said, "Um...right sir."

I groaned and said, "But the real problem is Bowser." I grew angry again and said, "He's gonna kill me for this! He asked me to schedule a dinner with Peach, and when he finds out his 'date' got ruined, he'll kill me!"

He grew nervous again, when suddenly his eyes lit up. "Wait! I got it!"

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What would that be?" I asked, sarcastically.

He ignored my sarcasm and continued, excited as ever. "We can improvise! Maybe this girl can go instead!"

I looked at him, dumbfounded. "What?"

He nodded and said, "Yeah! Maybe he'll settle for this girl!"

I was about to tell him how stupid that sounded, but then I stopped to consider this possibility.

That...actually holds some merit. Maybe he would like this girl. Maybe he just has a thing for human girls...that is possible. Plus it would be such a blessing if he did fall in lovewith her. Peach is a gigantic distraction, and it makes him sad whenever he's reminded she doesn't love her. He won't admit it, but I know it hurts him...it would be great if he would move on, and maybe this girl's the way...

"That actually may be a possibility..." I pondered.

He grew excited and said, "Yeah, and look at her!" He picked up her limp form and said, "She's hot!"

I frowned at his vulgarity, but sighed. She is attractive, but not as much as Peach. But she is dirty, maybe she'll look better after she's washed up and has some makeup on...maybe this really will work.

I looked at my watch. It was six-fifteen.

"Shoot," I said, realizing the time. "The dinner date's at seven! Quick, take her to Peach's room. I'll send down the stylist and a guard to get her ready. Go!"

He nodded and put the girl back in the sack. He hauled her over his shoulders and rushed out.

I picked up the phone to call the stylist. I consider calling someone to reprimand the boy, but I decided I had no time for that.

Well all that happened. This was a shorter chapter again, but whatever, I pretty much already have the next one, which is longer. So Bowser…may not be happy with the improvisation. Maybe… well please review and tell me what you think! That one review is looking awfully lonely in there…
