(A/N: Okay, so in that first scene, Daisy did a pretty good job of making Bowser miserable. Let's see what she does in this scene that didn't make the original cut.)
(This scene takes place between Chapters 4 and 5, after the Broodals have stolen the Frost-Frosted Cake from the Snow Kingdom.)
Bowser was delighted when the Broodals showed up and placed the Frost-Frosted Cake on the deck of his airship. It was a huge, 4-layer cake, and quite possibly the biggest cake that he, and even the Broodals, had ever seen in their lives.
"Wow! This has got to be the biggest cake I've ever seen!" Bowser exclaimed when he saw the cake the Broodals had delivered. He was also thinking, "And Peach said that baking a cake this big was impossible, but what does she know?! Look at the size of this thing! It's enormous! But now I can prove her wrong! I can prove that she was just being a weenie!"
"Yeah, I reckoned we got you the best cake when we stole this one." Rango replied.
"Well, you were right on the money when you thought that! Thank you so much for grabbing this cake!" Bowser said.
"No problem, Boss. So, where's our next stop?" Topper asked.
"Our next stop is... the Seaside Kingdom! That place has got the Sparkle Water I'm going to need for the wedding toast! Get as much of that as you can!" Bowser said.
"Yes, sir!" the Broodals chorused, saluting him before hopping back to their own airship.
"I've got to show this cake to Peach. Time to prove to her that she was just being a weenie for saying that cakes this size cannot be baked!" Bowser said, grinning maliciously.
Meanwhile, Daisy was in the bride's chamber, talking with Tiara. Daisy was still wearing the Super Crown, so she still looked and sounded like Peach. She couldn't risk removing the Super Crown for fear of Bowser coming in unannounced and seeing who she really was before it was time for the wedding. It was best to leave it on for the time being.
"I don't know what could have possessed Bowser to think he needs to marry a human princess so badly. Do you think he'll ever let go of this crazy idea?" Tiara asked the princess in a quiet voice, just in case Bowser was outside the room, eavesdropping. You never knew...
"Not on his own, Tiara. It's going to take brains, as well as brawn, to make him realize that marrying Princess Peach is the worst idea in the history of bad ideas." Daisy said, also keeping her voice low.
"Do you have plenty of brains and brawn to do the job, Daisy?" Tiara asked.
"Of course I do! Why do you think I'm here right now, pretending to be my cousin? Also, when he sees that Peach is really me, I can guarantee you that he's going to be sorry he ever got the idea of marrying her in the first place." Daisy promised.
"Ooh, I can't wait to see his reaction when he finds out that you're not who he thinks you are!" Tiara said with a giggle.
"Neither can I! It'll be the most fun I've had since my last visit to the Mushroom Kingdom!" Daisy replied with a laugh.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Daisy asked, even though she already knew the answer she was going to receive.
"It's me, Peach, your future husband." Bowser's voice replied.
"Only in your dreams are you getting married to Peach, you nincompoop." Daisy thought, making a face that made Tiara giggle. But then she decided to have more fun with him and asked, "Oh, do you mean you're the pizza man?!"
Tiara had to fight down the impulse to laugh when Daisy said that. The flower princess really meant it when she said she was going to have some fun with him before the wedding.
"What?! No, I am not the pizza man!" Bowser yelled. He opened the door and said, "It's me, Bowser the King!"
"Awww, how come my future husband has to be you?! I want the pizza man to show up and marry me after he brings me a lovely cheese pizza! And when he does, you'll have to pay for the pizza because you didn't give me time to grab my purse when you kidnapped me! Also, because you kidnapped me, that pizza is mine!" 'Peach' said.
"But Peach... wouldn't I get any pizza?" Tiara asked quietly.
"Of course you would, Tiara. You're so sweet, you'd have earned yourself a slice or two." 'Peach' said, giving the Bonneter a small smile.
"I wouldn't want that pizza in the first place, and besides, royalty gets pizza for free!" Bowser said.
"How would you know? I've never seen you order, much less eat a pizza before!" 'Peach' shot back.
"Yeah, because that stupid Mario likes it, and anything he likes to eat is disgusting and gross!" Bowser replied.
"Says you!" 'Peach' retorted.
"Because I'm right!" Bowser said, before realizing what the princess had said about the pizza man, and he was angry when he asked her, "Hold on a second! You didn't actually think of ordering a pizza at any time during the ride to our wedding venue, did you, Peach?!"
"No! The only place I've seen outside of the Mushroom Kingdom that might be able to sell a pizza was New Donk City, and even if I had ordered a pizza, it never would've arrived before you were ready to leave, and I haven't any money to pay for it!" 'Peach' replied, before asking, "But I know you came marching in here for a reason, so tell me: what do you want?"
Bowser didn't like that Peach was being very difficult with him, but he said, "Come with me to the deck, Peach. There's something you have got to see."
"Bowser, if you had an embarrassing accident on the deck, then I do not wish to see it. I want you to clean it up all by yourself, like a big boy." 'Peach' said.
When Tiara heard that, she was doing her best to stifle a bad case of the giggles. The thought of Bowser having an accident sounded disgusting yet hilarious.
"What?! It's not anything like that! And I wouldn't have told you to come up there if that was the case; it would be far too embarrassing! I came to get you because there's something really cool that I want you to see!" Bowser said.
"What if I don't want to see it?" 'Peach' retorted.
"Am I going to have to get ugly with you?" Bowser asked, getting mad.
"Bowser, if you want to get ugly with me, then maybe I'll take you into that broom closet over there, and we'll have ourselves a good, old-fashioned chit-chat." 'Peach' warned, pointing at the door that led to the broom closet.
Bowser sighed and said, "You're going to see what it is at the wedding anyway, but I'd really like for you to see it before then."
"Fine. Have it your way. Show me what it is." said 'Peach', sounding resigned to her fate. Only she wasn't. She was faking it to make Bowser think he won.
"Great! Come along, then!" Bowser said. He was about to lead Peach by the arm, but she slapped his hand away from her before he even touched her. For a princess with small hands, that slap actually hurt.
"Ow! What was that for?" Bowser asked, rubbing his hand with a frown on his face.
"I don't want you touching me until it's time for the wedding. So be polite and keep your hands to yourself." 'Peach' replied.
"That's odd, but okay..." Bowser mumbled, but he listened to Peach, and he kept his hands to himself, allowing Peach to follow him to the deck.
"C-can I just stay here?" Tiara asked nervously.
"Sure." Bowser said in an uncaring voice.
Tiara was a little offended by the voice he used, but she was glad that she didn't have to be near him at the moment. She hated him as much as Mario, Peach, Daisy, and even Cappy did.
Daisy knew that Tiara was offended, so she gave Bowser a swift kick in the butt on the way to the deck.
Bowser felt that, and he turned to glare at Peach. She was the only one there, so he assumed that she had done it.
"What?! There was a wasp on your butt, and it looked like it was going to sting you! I've heard that wasp stings hurt like you wouldn't believe! Did you want it to sting your butt on the happiest day of your life? I only kicked you because I was trying to kill it! And I did." 'Peach' replied. She was lying about the wasp, of course, but she had to give Bowser a reason as to why she had kicked him.
"Okay, I don't think I can blame you for trying to spare my butt from getting stung by a stupid wasp on this special day." Bowser replied. If Peach said that getting stung by a wasp is very painful, he should be grateful that she was willing to spare him the pain.
Bowser and 'Peach' made their way to the deck, and when they got there, 'Peach' gasped as she found herself looking at the biggest cake she ever saw in her life.
"Wow! I've never seen a cake this size before! It's waaaay bigger than the choco-nilla ones I tend to make Mario and Luigi for their birthday!" 'Peach' said as she walked around the cake, looking at it with something akin to awe.
"Right... And I also seem to recall you saying that cakes this size were impossible to bake! Well, now you've just been proven wrong!" Bowser said.
"Actually, you have a very poor memory, Bowser. I said cakes this size were impossible for humans like me to bake." 'Peach' corrected him. While Daisy may not have been around for Mario's second adventure in space, Peach had told her what Bowser had demanded from her.
"Oh, right..." Bowser said, even though he didn't really remember what Peach said. What mattered was that he was getting married to Peach. That was the important thing.
"And... hold on a minute... This looks like the Frost-Frosted Cake." 'Peach' said as she looked at the cake very carefully.
"Well, that's because it is the Frost-Frosted Cake." Bowser replied.
"Okay... according to the brochure for the Snow Kingdom, only the Shiverian Elder is allowed to make this cake! If you wanted a cake this size so badly, then methinks you should've gone directly to him and asked him to bake one for you that time you demanded a galaxy-sized slice of cake from me, you nimrod!" 'Peach' fired back.
"Hey! If he can make a cake that big, then I don't see why you couldn't do that! Oh, that's right! Now I remember why you refused to do it! You were just being a weenie!" Bowser said.
Daisy took major offense to being called a weenie, because she was hardly that; she was a force to be reckoned with! And she was so angry, she was ready to punch Bowser into next week right then and there to prove to him that she was no weenie, but she held herself back. She wanted to save that punch for the wedding.
"Boy! Why you ackin' so cray-cray?!" 'Peach' yelled at Bowser.
"I'm cray-cray?! Listen to yourself!" Bowser said.
"Why don't you take a closer look at that cake? It doesn't even look like a wedding cake! Have you noticed what's at the top of it?" 'Peach' pointed out.
Bowser looked at the top of the cake and saw her point. The top piece looked like a reward for a Shiverian.
"You see? I did my homework and found out that this cake is supposed to go to the winner of the Bound Bowl Grand Prix. So I'll tell you what: how about you put that cake back where you found it (or so help me), and I'll bake a nice, big 5-layer cake for the wedding instead? Does that sound better?" 'Peach' asked.
"We don't have time for that sort of thing, Peach! You want a wedding cake so bad? Watch this!" Bowser said. He then removed the piece at the top and replaced it with little plastic figurines of him and Peach in wedding attire. And there was a spiky purple heart behind them.
"There! Now it's a wedding cake!" Bowser told Peach, looking proud of himself.
"So it is..." 'Peach' replied, not sounding impressed.
"Oh, what's your problem?" Bowser asked.
"Nothing. I have no problems." 'Peach' said, faking a smile to prove it.
"It had better be nothing, Peach. You see, I'm doing everything in my power to make sure that this wedding is going to be perfect, and you should be thankful that perfection is what you're going to get!" Bowser said, and he began admiring the cake.
"Oh, that's what he thinks. A wedding where he's the groom and I'm the bride is far from perfect." Daisy thought, making no attempt to hide her disgust as she looked at the cake. She had to do something about it, and she knew just what.
Suddenly, the figurine of Wedding Bowser was knocked off of the Frost-Frosted Cake by something. Bowser didn't see what did it, because all he saw was the figurine of him fly off the cake.
"What the-?! What was that? Where did Mini-Me go?" Bowser asked as he started searching the deck for the figurine of him in wedding attire. He hoped that the figurine had landed on the airship's deck. If it fell off the ship, then he was going to be very upset.
All of a sudden, he heard a 'CRUNCH!' beneath his foot.
"Uh-oh..." Bowser said in a quiet voice. That did not sound good!
The Koopa King backed up a few steps and saw, to his horror, that he had stepped on the figurine of himself. It hadn't fallen off the ship like he feared, but now it was broken, which was even worse than the idea of it being lost in the Snow Kingdom.
"Oh no!" Bowser exclaimed in anguish as he picked up the pieces of the figurine of him. He didn't mean to break it!
Then Bowser thought he heard something behind him. It sounded like someone was stifling a laugh. He turned around, but all he saw was Peach standing there innocently. She smiled at him and said in an innocent voice, "I didn't do that."
(A/N: The idea of 'Peach' saying that line hit me while I was watching "Hotel Transylvania", and I heard the one character say it.)
Bowser gave Peach a weird look, but he said, "I know. I believe you."
What an idiot! If Bowser had looked at 'Peach' more carefully, he would have noticed that she had one hand behind her back. That same hand had its fingers crossed, and dangling from her ring and pinky fingers was (gasp!) a rubber band, which she had used as a make-shift slingshot. The object she had used to send the Bowser figurine flying was a coin that she had filched from the airship's treasury.
"I've got to fix this thing." Bowser said, and he hurried into his room to fix up the figurine with Gorilla Glue, hoping it would work and not look noticeable. Thankfully, it did. You never would've guessed that it had been broken.
When the glue was dry, Bowser put the figurine back on top of the cake, real close to the Peach figurine. He smiled in satisfaction as he said, "There. Now the cake looks better."
"No, it doesn't. I liked the cake better when he wasn't on it." Daisy thought with a frown that she didn't let Bowser see.
Later on, during a trip to the kitchen for a glass of water, Daisy was feeling snoopy, so she decided to look through some drawers in the kitchen, and in one drawer, she found a little plastic figurine of Mario that looked like a cake decoration. He also looked incredibly adorable, making a pose that looked as though he had just rescued Peach.
"Awww, look at him..." Daisy said to herself as she picked up the decoration of Mario. She then said to the decoration, "You would look so very cute if you were standing next to a decoration of my cousin in a wedding dress. But you may not actually get to do that until the real you gets to marry the real her, though..."
And then Daisy got a terrific idea of what she could do with the Mario decoration. She quickly took the decoration to the bride's chamber, keeping it hidden from Bowser's eyes.
(Cut to the deck of the airship)
Before they arrived at the wedding venue, Daisy quietly made her way over to the Frost-Frosted Cake with Tiara by her side. They looked at the cake and groaned in disgust when they saw it.
Bowser had obviously changed the cake when she and Tiara weren't looking. The frosting still had the snowflake design on it, but the banners on each layer were more purple than violet, and the snowflake pieces that held the banners in place were replaced with Bowser pieces. There were also mini Piranha Plants on each layer (save for the top one), and some at the base, with tiny, pretty flowers surrounding the bottom layer.
"Oh, Grambi help us..." Daisy facepalmed. Of course Bowser would have to go and ruin the Frost-Frosted Cake.
"Tell me again: what is the plan, Daisy?" Tiara asked in a whisper.
"It's very simple, Tiara. You're going to knock the groom Bowser figurine on his side, away from Peach. Then I'll give you this figurine of Mario, and you'll place him between the figurines of Peach and Bowser." Daisy whispered back, holding the plastic Mario decoration in her hands.
"Oh, I see! It's supposed to look like Mario defeated Bowser, and Peach is going to marry Mario because he saved her from the big, bad monster, like he always does!" Tiara whispered excitedly. She remembered Peach telling her how Mario never failed to save her from Bowser. She got it now!
"That's right." Daisy smiled.
"Okay. I'll do it!" Tiara replied. She flew to the top of the cake and knocked groom Bowser over on his side, away from Peach. Then the young Bonneter flew back down to Daisy, who handed her the decoration of Mario. Tiara gingerly placed Mario on the cake, next to Peach.
"There! Now the cake looks much better!" Daisy replied, her smile looking brighter as she admired the sight of Mario next to Peach.
"It does." Tiara replied, also admiring the sight. Something about the sight of Peach with Mario just looked... right. Then Tiara added, "I just hope Bowser doesn't notice what we did to the cake."
"I betcha he won't. Did you know that there have been occasions where Bowser captured Peach when she was feeling sick with something contagious, and he didn't even notice?" Daisy began.
"What?! You're joking!" Tiara replied.
"No, I mean it! He really couldn't tell!" Daisy replied.
"I don't believe that! You can't tell me he never realized that she was sick to begin with!" Tiara exclaimed.
"Oh, it's true, Tiara. She told me that whenever she started sneezing or coughing, he would tell her to cut the crap because 'he knew she was faking it'... only to find out that she really wasn't faking it after catching what she had. And he ended up catching it not long after being defeated by Mario." Daisy said.
"Is Bowser really that stupid?" Tiara asked.
"Yes, Tiara. He's dumber than mud. Mud laughs at him 'cause he's so darn stupid!" Daisy replied.
Tiara let out a small giggle.
"But one time, Bowser got smart. There was a time that Peach got him sick with something she had, during a time he was doing everything he could to keep Mario from getting her back." Daisy began.
"5 regional coins says he didn't believe she was sick." Tiara said.
"You're right on the money. He didn't believe her. Not until he caught it, and he was worse off than she had been. He actually had to take her back to her castle to avoid getting beaten up by Mario, which would have made him feel even worse. Mario said he was more than a little surprised to see Bowser turning his airship around to take Peach back home!" Daisy finished.
"Wow, so Bowser really is an idiot!" Tiara giggled.
"Exactly. Now let's go back inside the airship so I can figure out how else I'm going to scare him during the wedding." Daisy replied with a smile.
And when they arrived at the Wedding Chapel at Honeylune Ridge, Bowser didn't even notice what Daisy and Tiara had done to the cake. What an idiot he was!
(End of scene)
Wow, Bowser sure is stupid, and Daisy is still messing with his head. There are still a couple more scenes left, so stay tuned!
