Chapter 1

The Weird, Old Ruins, the Skipping Shy Guy, and the Father

Whoa, I actually got a review in the 8 hours I went to school on the day I uploaded this? And I know it was REALLY short…I'll try to make it longer this chapter. Thanks to the following awesome people who reviewed!

Thanks to all of ya'll! Flowerstar—wow, that's interesting! I'm jealous; I've always wanted to see Beijing! But to be fair, I've seen New Orleans! XD I guess Lakitu just mysteriously died—it'll be revealed later. (Part of my evil plan…)

Mariogirl133—thanks so much!

ImSpidey2—oh, really? I'll have to check it out sometime!

Mouseshine, my BFF in life—*throws basketball back*

Now onto the story!

Bowser Jr. landed in a field filled with rocks. "Bah! Rocks?"

"These aren't just any rocks!" a familiar voice rang out. Bowser Jr. turned to see a dark blue Shy Guy literally skipping up to him. "This is Stonehenge!"

"What's with the skipping?" the young Koopa asked, taking off the parachute and taking out his Chinese finger trap.

"Why not skip?" the dark Shy Guy countered. "You try!"

"Um, I can't," Bowser Jr. invented quickly, sticking his claws inside the finger trap. "My claws are stuck."

To his horror, the Shy Guy whisked off the finger trap as if it were a new evil scheme. "All better! Now come on!"

There was only one thing he could do. He dashed off in a direction at random, the Shy Guy shouting behind him, "WAIT! YOU NEVER SKIIIIIIIIPED!"

Bowser's son wasn't really concerned as he dashed into the undergrowth, hoping he was headed for London.

Bowser's POV

Bowser landed beside Big Ben and toppled onto his shell. "Hey! Help me up!"

He glared at his minions as they started laughing. "YOU WANNA GET PAID OR NOT!"

Hurriedly the minions helped him to his feet.

Bowser turned to the Magikoopa. "Kamek, what happened to Lakitu?"

"I told you, Lord Bowser. He had a heart attack."

"I KNOW THAT!" Bowser snapped. "I'm asking how!"

"We're not sure yet," Kamek replied. "The London police are looking into it. They think someone did something to give Lakitu a heart attack, though I don't really see the logic in that."

Bowser then realized that someone was missing. "Where's Junior?"

"Sir?"

"I SAID, where's Junior?"

"He was with you?"

Bowser's heart began to speed up. "Yeah, he was sitting beside me!" He paused. "Did you not include him in the warping?"

"Do you see him here?"

Bowser's head began to spin. His son…he could have been caught in the crash…he could be lying dead somewhere in a field…

"Don't worry, Lord Bowser! I can warp him here now!" Kamek waved his wand in the air, but nothing came.

Bowser glared down at the Magikoopa. "Why isn't he here?"

"Oh yeah…I forgot…it only works on close objects…"

Bowser punched Kamek. "YOU IDIOT!"

"S-sorry, Lord Bowser. But I can take your mind off of things! Let's enroll you for the Olympic Games!"

Bowser let himself be led away by his minions to the enrolling booth, but as he signed up the image of his son lying in a field kept popping into his head. The Koopa King tried to push it away, but he couldn't. His son was the only thing that meant more to him than evil schemes.

Bowser Jr.'s POV

It'd probably been about five seconds before the young Koopa felt an arm tugging him. "Hey, wait! Don't go that way!"

Bowser Jr. stopped and glared at the Shy Guy. "Can't you just let me go where I want to? I'll tell my papa on you!" he threatened, knowing that scared most minions.

But this Shy Guy must've been special, because he didn't flinch. "I'm helping you because of King Bowser! Y'know, the Games aren't anywhere near here. They're in London."

"Wow! You're a genius!" Bowser Jr. exclaimed sarcastically. "OF COURSE THEY'RE IN LONDON! I know I'm not anywhere near there, and the enrolling ends in less than twenty-four hours!" For the first time his frustrations and fears began to take over, and he sat on the ground. "I'm not gonna make it to the Olympic Games. I'm not even gonna see my papa again!"

The question kept rising into his mind: where was his papa? Had he fallen from the plane? Was he alive?

Or had the older Koopa jumped out of the plane and left him behind on purpose?

Well, I lied yesterday, sorry! The reviews that ya'll sent me really made my day after I'd had a bad one, so I decided to publish the second chapter early. But THIS time I'm sticking to my word and not updating till after Spring Break. Check out the Sugababes! And have a good Spring Break!
