Hi everyone! My mom's vacation is over and I'm finally back with chapter 2! I really hope you like it :)

Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!

"A vacation?" Jasmine, a friend of the brothers and princesses, asked. Peach invited everyone to her castle the next day to discuss their plans for a vacation.

"Yes! After dealing with Bowser, we think it would be great to have a break and relax." Peach replied.

"That does sound fun." Kayden, a boy living with Mario and Luigi, said.

"Yeah! That's great! Where are we going?" Daisy asked.

"Serene Isles." Luigi smiled.

"Oh! I think I've heard about that place." Daisy replied.

"A vacation sounds great! I'd love to invite Roy!" Kacey, Kayden's younger sister, said, her face slightly pink.

"Kacey, Roy can't come with us." Kayden replied.

"What? Why not? Jasmine can invite Ludwig too!" Kacey exclaimed.

"You guys spend a lot of time together already." Kayden said.

"I kinda agree with Kayden. Love Ludwig, but I could use a break from him. He can be annoying at times." Jasmine chuckled. Kacey sighed and looked at her brother.

"I guess you're right..."

"Don't worry, Kacey. You can still call Roy and talk to him." Peach smiled sweetly, hoping to cheer up the 16 year old girl. It worked, as Kacey smiled back at her.

"Yeah! Plus, I can hang out with him before and after our vacation!" Kacey replied.

"Well, I guess we should probably start packing!" Daisy grinned. Everyone nodded in agreement, now more excited for their trip.

One day, Bowser was sitting on his throne, thinking of his last attempt at taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. Like usual, Mario and Luigi ruined his plan and rescued Peach. Bowser growled and shook his head.

"What am I doing wrong...?" The Koopa King wondered. Sighing, Bowser looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost 6:00. His little sister Clawdeen and her family were coming over for dinner. He stood up from his throne and made his way to the dining room. Maybe eating some steak would make him feel better.

Bowser made it to the dining room and saw his wife Clawdia already there with Bowser jr and Larry. He took his seat next to her and waited as the rest of their children arrived. Once all of the kids were at the table, Bowser looked around the room.

"Hm. I wonder when Clawdeen and the others will get here."

Then, he heard footsteps walking towards the dining room. Bowser smirked once he saw his sister, her husband, and their 8 children.

"We're here, Bowsie!" Clawdeen cheered, making Bowser roll his eyes at the nickname.

"Hey guys!" Junior greeted as everyone sat down. Soon, the chefs entered the room and gave everyone their food and drinks. Once they left, everyone began to eat and talk.

"So Iggy, how's Tiana and Tammy doing?" Theodore, one of Bowser's nephews, asked.

"Oh they're great! Tammy's with Tia and her family right now." Iggy replied.

"Tammy's so adorable! I can't wait to see her again!" Clawdeen smiled and took a sip of her drink.

As the Koopa family talked, Bowser began to get lost in his thoughts. He couldn't stop thinking about the Mario Bros defeating him. He snapped out of it when a child's voice spoke.

"Uncle Bowser? Are you ok?" Talisa, Bowser's youngest niece, asked.

"Oh. Yeah, I'm fine, Tali. I'm just thinking." Bowser replied.

"About the Mario Bros?" She asked. Bowser sighed and nodded.

"Aww don't worry, Uncle Bowser! I know you'll beat them next time!" Talisa smiled.

"Hey. What about those other kingdoms we talked about before? Maybe you could try taking over one of those?" Langston, Bowser's brother in-law, suggested.

"You're right! I should do that!" Bowser grinned.

"We can help too! I think I've gotten stronger since last time!" Alex, the third oldest of Clawdeen's and Langston's kids, said as she ate more of her steak.

"Well, as long as you don't fuse the four of us together again, I guess we can help out." Langston said as he thought back to their time in the Crystal Kingdom.

"Hahaha! Don't worry! I won't do that again." Bowser laughed. The other three adults sighed in relief.

"Well, what kingdom will you choose to attack?" Clawdia asked.

"Hmm..." Bowser started to think. He thought about the Frosty Kingdom, but he wasn't in the mood to deal with the freezing snow, so he decided to save that kingdom for another time. He then thought about Stardust Land and the Floral Kingdom, but then he remembered that Mario and his friends stopped his family during their takeover of the Crystal Kingdom when they were at those locations. Plus, Stardust Land and the Crystal Kingdom are neighboring kingdoms, so their soldiers would probably team up to defeat them. Then, Wendy spoke up.

"I know, daddy! How about Serene Isles?" She suggested, making Bowser grin.

"Serene Isles! I almost forgot about that place! That's perfect, sweetheart!"

"So it's settled! We'll take over Serene Isles!" Clawdia smiled.

"We're gonna need to train more before we do." Bowser added.

Everyone went back to eating as they talked more about their new plan. Then, Ludwig and Roy got a message on their phones. The two looked at their messages and saw that their girlfriends sent them something. Then, their eyes widened as they read their messages.

"Hey Luddy! Guess what? I'm going to Serene Isles with Mario and the others for a vacation!" Jasmine's message said.

"Hi Roy! Kayden and I are going on a vacation with everyone to Serene Isles in a few weeks! I wish you could come join us..." Kacey's message said.

Clawdia looked at her two sons and noticed the concerned looks on their faces.

"Lulu? Roy? Are you two alright?" Clawdia asked.

"O-Oh! I'm alright, Mother." Ludwig smiled.

"Yeah! I just saw something weird.." Roy replied.

"Well, alright." Clawdia smiled at them and took a sip of her tea.

Ludwig and Roy glanced at each other. Then, Roy sent Ludwig a message.

"What do we do? Do we tell them?" He asked.

"I don't know! I don't want them to worry, but I know if the plumbers learn about our plan, they'll stop us sooner." Ludwig replied back. A few minutes later, Ludwig sent Roy another message.

"Let's not panic just yet. Maybe they'll be gone by the time we arrive at the kingdom." He said. Roy glanced at Ludwig again before sending another reply.

"I hope you're right..."

That's it for now! Friday is my birthday, but I'll still try to post the next chapter if I'm able to!

Btw, in my headcanon, Ludwig only allows Clawdia to call him Lulu and Jasmine to call him Luddy. Everyone else can just call him Lud or just Ludwig. And if Clawdia calls him Lulu in front of his friends, he gets really embarrassed lol
