If anyone told Kemek he'd be sitting with his son and his arch enemy eating breakfast one day, he would most likely send a current of electricity through your body, killing you on the spot. That being said, who knew that would indeed be the case at this very moment.

Bowsette and Mario sat across from each other, both with bags under their eyes, which signaled they both didn't get much sleep. Much to their dismay, traces of tears could be seen as well. They were quietly eating a bowl of boo berries when Jr walked into the kitchen. He ran to Bowsette and gave her a big hug.

"Morning mom!"

"Morning sweetheart. What do you have planned for the day?"

"Nothing much, just going down to the pond to help a few of the kids learn to fish." he began to leave when he caught a glimpse of her face. He saw dried up tears and looked towards Mario with anger starting to rise. Kemek saw this and before he could say anything, Jr rushed the red hero and both were on the ground in minutes.

Mario didn't move, or try to defend himself. He figured this was his punishment for how he treated Bowsette last night. Her scared face still stung his heart, but what hurt him the most, was the fact that he caused it.

"What did you do to my mom? What did you do to make her cry?" the young Koopa yelled.

Mario remained quiet which only angered Jr more. He began to raise his fist in order to strike but was stopped by his mother. Jr looked to her only to loose his strength. She shook her head with fresh tears falling down her face. "It's not his fault. He was trying to...to make me happy last night, but I got scared and pushed him away. I hurt his feelings. That's why I was crying. So please, let him go."

Jr looked at her then turned towards Mario. Although he was unwilling to listen due to his protective personality, he reluctantly got off with a growl. He began walking towards the door, but not before giving Mario a death glare. Kemek released a breath he didn't even know he was holding. It seems that since Bowser became a woman, his son has become extremely protective of his new form. He was going to have to look into a few things and make sure. After all if his hunch was correct, then Jr just may become a threat to any and everyone who comes anywhere near his new mother.

"Well know that that's over with, anyone want to tell me what's going on between you two?" Bowsette and Mario remained silent. Neither wanted to speak on the previous night's events. Mario looked towards her, but relented with sadness. He stood up and began to leave. He thanked Kemek for breakfast and continued on.

Kemek asked him to stay for a while and go hang out with Jr. Maybe if they were to play together, then Jr would be open to having Mario as a sort of role model. The plumber thought for a moment. He indeed wanted to clear things up with the Koopa prince, but right now the little one hated his guts. He only huffed and agreed. Maybe some fresh air would do his mind some good after all.

Kemek next turned his attention to his um, daughter. Her head was lowered and her hands were now fists. He could see them trembling and his face only dropped to one of sorrow. "I take it things didn't go well last night hmm?" he asked sitting back down. He looked at his daughter once again and let out a loud sigh. At that, she stood once again and leaned on the fridge. Her bangs covering her eyes. "Bowsette, talk to me. I only want to help."

"Help, you want to help!? I. Don't think you can help me with this dad! We almost went all the way last night. I was so close to crossing that line and giving him everything I am, but...but I got scared. I was scared that if I did go over that line, that I would loose who I am. Become someone I'm not." she cried out. Kemek ran to her and wrapped her in a much need hug. She didn't think she needed one, but right now...she didn't want him to let go.

" Sweet heart, it's alright to be afraid. What you did was right."

"Right! Dad I crushed his feelings... I broke his heart. All he wanted to do was give me the love I need and deserve but what do I do? I turn into a coward and push him away!" Kemek shook his head.

"You didn't break his heart. Belive me... Mario's stronger than you might think. I bet the reason he's giving you all this space is because he figures if he's around you, then you would be nervous or scared to be anywhere near him. That being said...he wants you to come around on your own. He doesn't want to have any influence on your decision."

"Then tell me what I'm supposed to do? I don't want to make thing any worse than they already are."

Kemek raised his hands and a white orb appeared. As it floated in his palm, he started to speak into it. Bowsette couldn't hear the other person, but she could hear her father arguing with them. After a brief exchange he huffed out and turned towards her. "I've set up a meeting between you and someone else. For the time being, if you wish to learn how to progress any further with Mario, then go talk to this person."

"What aren't you telling me old man?" Bowsette asked as a white light started to surround her body. She knew what was happening. He was about to teleport her to another location. Where though, is something she'd have to find out. With a smirk and a snap of his fingers, Bowsette was gone. She hoped to give the old Koopa a stern talking to but that would have to wait.

As she looked around, she looked around, she realized she was back in the mushroom Kingdom. "So what does that old fool think he's doing sending you back here?" she recognized that voice all too well. She slowly turned around and was met face to face with the person she really didn't want to see ever again. Standing a few inches away was none other than Princess Peach.

"Dam you old man! I'll roast you alive when I get back to my castle!!!"
