18. Bowser Jr. x Diddy Kong

The kid Smashers laughed as they watched Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong fighting again. Over the time they spent fighting, the kids had that feeling that the two actually…like each other. However, the older Smashers think otherwise, and Bowser and Donkey Kong usually keep the two away from each other.

Larry spoke with the other Koopalings along with Ness, Villager, Toon Link, and the Ice Climbers. The friends agreed with one idea: make Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong like each other.

The next day, Bowser Jr. was playing with his 3DS when he heard his cell phone ringing. Turning his head at it, he picked it up and read it.

"Meet me in the Couples' Room," the text read.

Bowser Jr. tilted his head, noticing that the sender's name wasn't signed. Curious. However, he turned off his 3DS and walked towards the Couples' Room.

Diddy Kong also got the same message, and he also walked towards the Couples' Room, wondering what was going on.

When the two bumped into each other in the room, they gasped.

"YOU?!" Diddy Kong cried out, his teeth gritting and his hands balled up into fists. His tail flicked to the side.

"Whatcha doing here?!" Bowser Jr. yelled, his teeth also gritting and his eyebrows lowered.

Suddenly, the door closed, and the two jumped. Diddy Kong ran towards the door, trying to open it, but it was locked.

The two could hear laughing from the other side.

"YOU JERKS!" Bowser Jr. yelled, trying to pry the door open. "LET US OUT!"

The laughter faded, and they heard footsteps becoming less audible.

Bowser Jr. sighed. "Aw man…now I'm stuck here with someone I hate…"

"Hate, huh?" Diddy Kong growled. "Well, I hate you too."

Bowser Jr. turned his head to face the monkey, sticking his tongue out.

It had been a few hours, and the two were still stuck in the room. Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr. sat back-to-back, saying nothing. Diddy Kong was looking over at his fingers while Bowser Jr. breathed out a few embers from his mouth.

"So uh…" Diddy Kong started to say. "Now what?"

"I don't know," Bowser Jr. retorted. "Whoever locked us in here is going to PAY!"

"I agree…"

When Diddy Kong agreed with Bowser Jr., the smaller Bowser looked at Diddy Kong, his head tilted to the right.

"You too?" he asked.

Diddy Kong nodded. "Yeah. I bet it was the kids that did this."

"Either them or the Koopalings."

"That sounds plausible."

Silence filled the air once again, and Diddy Kong sighed. "So what do you want to talk about?"

Bowser Jr. shrugged. "I don't know. Why are you asking me?"

"Well…" Diddy Kong chuckled. "We're trapped here, with nothing to eat, and we're not sure how long we'll be in here, so I guess chatting would pass the time."

"I guess so…" Bowser Jr. nodded.

The two began to chat a little bit, and they both realized that they had a lot in common: they had family members who were overprotective, they had helped their loved ones with tasks, and both were loyal to their friends.

Diddy Kong was quite surprised himself. He never expected his rival to have that much in common with him.

Once the chatting had ended, their stomachs growled. Diddy Kong looked down at his stomach, patting it.

"Oh, looks like it's lunchtime," he said.

"But I don't see food around here," Bowser Jr. pointed out.

"Well…" Diddy Kong then grabbed his bag and pulled out a couple of bananas.

Bowser Jr.'s eyes widened, his mouth drooling whenever he stared at the delicious fruit.

Diddy Kong stared at Bowser Jr., blushing a bit. He had been crushing on his rival for quite some time, but due to his uncle Donkey Kong not allowing him to even get near Bowser Jr., he never admitted it.

But…why am I feeling that way? he wondered.

He heard Bowser Jr.'s stomach growl, and the small Koopaling groaned.

Frowning, Diddy Kong knew he had to do something. Grabbing one of the bananas and plucking it out from the bunch, he handed it to Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr.'s eyes widened in shock, his mouth gaping open. "You…you're just going to give me that?" he asked.

"Of course," Diddy Kong said with a smile. "I don't want a fellow Smasher to starve like that."

Bowser Jr. smiled. "Thanks, Diddy." With that, he took the banana and peeled it, taking a bite out of it.

Diddy Kong peeled his banana and began eating it as well, both of them enjoying each other's company somehow.

Once they were done with their small lunch, they threw their banana peels away in the small trashcan.

"Thanks, Diddy. That was delicious!" Bowser Jr. said with a toothy smile.

Diddy Kong blushed. "Y-you're welcome…"

That was when they heard something being unlocked, and the two turned to see the door opening, their eyes widened and grins spreading across their faces.

"We're free!" Diddy Kong cried, backflipping.

Bowser and Donkey Kong walked in, spotting their family members. "There you are!" Donkey Kong cried, approaching Diddy Kong and hugging the small monkey.

"Uncle Donkey Kong!" Diddy Kong cried out, holding his uncle back.

"Son!" Bowser gasped, hugging Bowser Jr. tightly. "I was worried!"

"Papa!" Bowser Jr. cried, smiling.

"Are you okay?" Donkey Kong and Bowser asked simultaneously.

The two children nodded. "Yeah!" Diddy Kong said. "We're fine."

"Yeah," Bowser Jr. nodded.

"Well, let's get you two back in your rooms. You must be frightened from being locked in here." Donkey Kong suggested.

"Great idea," Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr. said, both nodding.

With that, the two heavyweights walked out of the Couples' Room, holding the children close.

Bowser Jr. looked towards Diddy Kong's direction, and he gave him a thumbs up. "Thanks, pal," Bowser Jr. said with a smile.

Diddy Kong blushed, and he nodded. "No problem."

Constructive criticism is welcomed! Requests for a pairing are still opened!
