Chapter 4

Is it a Bird or a Plane?

Hi, I'm back! I wrote this chapter and the chapter before this on the way to my Spring Break location. In fact, I'll probably finish the whole story on the way back; I have lots of time, so I can put more effort into the chapters. (lol I did)

Thanks to the following people who reviewed on Chapter 3:

Mariogirl133

Mouseshine

217Nighthawk

Mariogirl133—that's good! Lol I just put up my avatar; you'll probably know what it is. (You should lol)

Mouseshine—#1 Kids. DON'T HITCHHIKE. :D #2 Yeah. Bullet bills are epic. #3 EVIL DUDE WHERE *turns around* Oh. #4 Hmm…maybe he IS a certain lame rapping surfer…XD (it's an inside joke)

217Nighthawk—Thank you :D

So onto the story!

"Time!"

Bowser's head popped up from the ocean, and he shakily scrambled onto the shore, where Kamek was holding a stopwatch. The Magikoopa shook his head. "Four and five tenths slower than the world record."

Bowser growled in frustration, and he was about to snap back at his minion when a roar sounded. He and Kamek looked up, squinting at an object high in the sky. "Is it a bird?" Kamek asked curiously.

"No way!" Bowser retorted. "It's totally a plane!"

"Nah. I say bird…"

"Lord Bowser!" The Hammer Bro. from earlier came running up. "Foul play was involved in Lakitu's death! Someone gave him poisoned food before the flight!"

"WHAT? WHO WOULD DO SUCH A DASTARDLY THING BEFORE ME?"

Suddenly two figures were growing closer and closer, and then—

BAM!

Bowser rubbed his nose and glared at the figure that had bounced on it. "Why you little—"

He stopped dead as he realized that standing in front of him were Bowser Jr. and Neon.

Bowser Jr.'s POV—flashback

"Wee!" Bowser Jr. yelled as the Bullet Bill soared higher and higher. "Yeah! Watch THIS! NO HANDS!" He closed his eyes and spread his arms far apart, pretending he could fly.

Neon looked like he was going to be sick. "Y-Your Littleness…" he began, but he stopped abruptly.

Bowser Jr. opened his eyes and turned around. Neon was gone!

Bowser Jr. looked down and saw him falling. They were above the ocean…should he go down to rescue him or should he keep going?

Suddenly the Bullet Bill did a barrel roll, causing Bowser Jr. to fall over the side, screaming wildly, after his companion.

~flashback end!~

"B-Bowser Jr.?" Bowser choked out.

"PAPA!" the figure replied. Bowser Jr. raced to him, and father and son hugged.

Kamek and Neon shared uncomfortable looks. "So it wasn't a bird?" Kamek asked.

Neon shook his head.

Then a net shot out at an alarming speed. Bowser barely dodged, but Bowser Jr.'s foot was caught. The Koopa King blew fire, burning the net and allowing the younger Koopa to scramble to his father.

Without saying anything, the four made a line formation. Bowser was on the left, Bowser Jr. was next to him, Kamek got his wand at the ready, and Neon was prepared to take off his mask to scar the shooter for life.

"Here," Bowser said, giving his son back his paintbrush.

"Cool!" Bowser Jr. squeaked. His father had taken it from him a week ago after he'd forgotten to do his evil thing for the day.

"Show yourself!" Kamek called.

The figure stepped into the light. All four of the friends gaped in surprise.

It was…

MWA HA HA! MY FIRST SUCCESSFUL CLIFFHANGER! NOW I FEEL AWESOME! (XD) Submit your guesses as to who the person is! *Hint*: You haven't met this person yet, but they are well known. *Hint 2* This person can be vulnerable/afraid, but can be tough when he/she needs to be. I at least want 3 guesses before the next chapter (and Mouseshine, NOT ALL OF THEM FROM YOU XD) but it's okay if I don't get 3 guesses. This next chapter will be one of the last chapters, and then I'll be posting my new story! And since I got good reviews, I'll tell you all the title: I've decided that it's going to be called "All the Way". Next time I'll tell you a little about the actual story! But yet again, I need reviews! Thanks!
