Chapter 1: Catching Some Air
=================================================================

"Quit kicking my seat, Iggy!" whined Wendy Koopa.

"Shut up! Quiet over there!" barked a goomba guard in the corner.

"I'm not kicking it!" lied Iggy Koopa.

This is what the koopalings spend much of their time doing. Fighting.

The koopalings, excluding Bowser Junior, were now on King Bowser's private jet, with a one way ticket to Yoshi's Island, a very beautiful place that seems to be inhabited by yoshis: little green dinosaurs that are very friendly and fun to be around. They generally eat everything. Bowser did not know anything about Yoshi's Island when he exiled his kids out of his kingdom, as he hardly ever leaves the castle. He was still asleep on his throne, just as we had left him in the close of the previous tale. The koopalings really didn't know much about the situation at hand; they were just fighting with each other, like they are so talented at doing.

"You WERE kicking my seat, Iggy! I felt it!" Wendy whined.

"Wendy, you're the one who got us into all this, so shut your face!" said Larry Koopa.

"Yeah, but I wasn't planning on being exiled by King Dad! I had no idea he would kick us out!" Wendy replied.

"Well, Wendy, what did you expect?" asked Larry annoyingly.

"I thought he would just send us to our rooms, and, maybe ground us for a long time."

"Ha!" laughed Larry insultingly. "Taking over a kingdom is a major crime. I'm surprised that he just exiled us. He could have-"

"Don't say it." said Wendy. "I know."

"So, what-"

"Shut up!" yelled a boo guard in the seat next to Wendy. "King Bowser has ordered us to take you all to Yoshi's Island! Now shut up!"

Wendy smiled mischieviously.

"I see. And do you shout out what your orders are often?" asked Wendy.

At this, the boo guard glared at Wendy, and started going around to the koopaling's seats, and unfastening their seat belts.

"You know, I'm really tired of your smart mouth." said the boo, unfastening Wendy's seatbelt. He then unfastened all the other Koopa kids as well. After that was done, he turned to face them. Just as he was about to say something, a voice came over the airplane loudspeaker.

"Good day, this is your captain speaking. Welcome Prince Iggy, Prince Lemmy, Prince Ludwig, Prince Morton, Prince Larry, Prince Roy, and Princess Wendy Koopa, to Koopa Crown Royal Airlines! I trust you've enjoyed your flight with us?"

"SHUT UP!" Wendy shouted at the loudspeaker wildly (as if it could hear her).

The captain continued, "If you look to your left you will see that we are now flying over Yoshi's Island, home of the yoshis. If you plan on vacationing here, you must know that yoshis love to eat. If you chance to meet one, feed it plenty of cherries, and-"

"What are you standing around for, you stupid boo! Worthless creature you are!" Wendy yelled caustically, glaring at the boo guard and getting up out of her seat.

"That's it Your Highness! I'm tired of your little mouth! Have a nice flight!" exclaimed the boo angrily.

At this the boo guard stepped on a switch on the airplane floor. This caused the back of the airplane to mechanically open up, and, much to the Koopa kids' surprise, they were sucked out of their seats, and out of the airplane. They were now falling rapidly through the air, down to an ever-approaching Yoshi's Island. While falling, they were facing each other, and decided, after screaming a bit, to take action on how to land on the ground safely.

"WENDY! WE'RE FALLING! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEE!" yelled a terrified Roy Koopa.

"SHUT UP ROY! WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS! IF WE EVER GET BACK TO THE KINGDOM, I'M GOING TO KILL THAT BOO!"

Larry Koopa tried to remain calm, even though his whole body was turning in the air. He wasn't balanced, and he looked sick already.

"WENDY! THE GROUND'S COMING FAST! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!?!"

Wendy had a calm look on her face.

"SEE THIS?" shouted Wendy back at Larry, pulling a curious looking package out of her dress. "SEE IT?"

"YEAH! What IS IT?" asked Morton, starting to flail around in the air as well.

"IT'S AN AIR CHUTE! I GOT IT FROM ONE OF KING DAD'S PROJECTS! NO ONE WAS LOOKING, AND I STOLE IT!" Wendy shouted back in reply.

"IDIOT" yelled Larry. "DON'T YOU MEAN 'PARACHUTE'?"

"WHO CARES, WENDY! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" yelled Roy Koopa.

"WE CAN'T DIE! WE HAVE GAMES TO STAR IN!" said Lemmy Koopa.

"YEAH WENDY! HELP!" Iggy shouted.

"EVERYBODY JUST REMAIN CALM! I HAVE A PLAN! GRAB ONTO EACH OTHER'S TAILS!" shouted Wendy.

"HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE CALM, WHEN WE ARE FALLING THROUGH THE AIR AT NEARLY TWO HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR? THERE'S LITTLE CHANCE OF OUR SURVIVAL, EVEN WITH OUR ROYAL MAGIKOOPA BLOOD!" stated Larry.

"THERE WILL BE LESS OF A CHANCE OF SURVIVAL, IF YOU DON'T GRAB ONTO MY TAIL NOW!" roared Wendy.

"GOOD POINT! I THINK I'LL GO WITH THAT!" said Iggy, reaching out, and grabbing Wendy's tail, with a terrified face.

"NOW LISTEN UP! SINCE I GOT SUCKED OUT OF THE PLANE LAST, WE'RE GOING TO GRAB EACH OTHER'S TAILS IN THE ORDER THAT WE GOT SUCKED OUT IN, AND MAKE A CHAIN! HURRY!"

At this, all of the koopalings, excluding Iggy and Wendy, after much groping through the air, grabbed each other's tails. It was a fine sight, to see these terrified koopalings clinging onto each other for dear life.

"OKAY! EVERYONE CONNECTED?" asked Wendy.

"YEAH!" replied Ludwig.

"HERE WE GO!"

Wendy pulled a cord protruding out of the package she was grasping. There appeared to be a white cloud that burst out of the package. This was the parachute. It caught the air, and slowed the Koopa kids' falls down. They were now drifting down gently with the wind, about to land on Yoshi's Island, in an unknown, totally off-course area.

"WE'RE GONNA BE FINE!"shouted Wendy. "JUST HOLD ON!"

"I AM!" yelled Ludwig.

The koopalings were now about a hundred feet above ground.

"HEY SIS! YOUR TAIL'S ALL SWEATY! MY HANDS ARE SLIPPING!" Iggy screamed.

"JUST HOLD ON!"

"HEY WENDY!" Iggy yelled.

"What NOW?"

"WHAT'S THAT POINTY THINGY ON THAT HOUSE BELOW US?"

"WHAT POINTY THINGY?" Wendy asked, looking down at the house Iggy asked about. The koopalings were now about thirty feet up, and closing quickly. She soon saw this "thingy" on a house, thirty feet below them.

"Oh. That? That ain't nothing but a...TV ANTENNA! AAAAAAAAH! WE'RE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR IT! HOLD OOOOOON!"

As Wendy and the other koopalings panicked and screamed, the koopalings crashed into the television antenna on the house's roof, and the parachute got entangled in it beyond belief. Wendy was still holding on, still clutching the parachute cord in her claws, but the jerk that the mild crash into the TV antenna had caused had disconnected the other koopalings from each other's tails, and with a loud series of thuds they toppled onto the roof, unhurt. The TV antenna was all bent up, from the entanglement. It was only six feet high, so Wendy could have let go as well, and not been hurt, but, she decided to panic instead.

"HEEEELP! GET ME DOWN!"

"Hey Wendy, it's only a few feet down, just let go!"

"NO! IF I LET GO I'LL DIE! I have magikoopa blood, but I don't know any spells to save me! I can't let go!"

"Wendy! Just look down! You're only like...six feet above us! Let go!" said Ludwig.

Wendy, after calming down a bit, looked below her.

"OH! Yeah!" said Wendy, chuckling embarrassingly. "Sorry. That was stupid. I'll let go."

She let go from the antenna, and landed on the roof with a thud.

"What's the matter with you, sister?" asked Ludwig. "Do you not know your heights?"

"Shut up. I'm afraid of them." said Wendy.

"Clearly." said Ludwig.

Just then the Koopa kids heard a door slam below them, under the roof, followed by an angry voice.

"WHAT IN SAM'S HILL? WHO THE HECK MESSED UP MY TV SIGNAL!?!" said the voice.

Wendy ran over to the edge of the roof, and looked over to where the voice was coming from.

"WHAT THE-" said the figure, spotting Wendy. "WHO IN SAM HILL'S NAME ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY ROOF?"

"What?" said Wendy, looking interestingly at the dinosaur-like figure. "Yoshi! Is that YOU?"

"Yeah, that's me, and you just messed up my TV signal! YOU'RE GONNA DIE!"

"No! Please Yoshi! Calm down! I can explain!" said Wendy, running over to the TV antenna.

"I'M COMING UP!" said Yoshi. "IF YOU DONE MESSED UP MY TV ANTENNA..."

Shortly after he said this, a loud sound was heard, and then the koopalings acknowledged a winged Yoshi, flying up, and landing on the roof. Once Yoshi landed on the roof, he spit, and a blue shell came whizzing out of his mouth, just narrowly missing Morton Koopa.

"Yoshi, calm down." Wendy said, backing up nervously. "I can explain."

"Oh NO! My precious antenna!" Yoshi said, running over to the antenna, and hugging it. "YOU DESTROYED IT! I WAS WATCHING A MARIO TENNIS MATCH, AND YOU RUINED IT IN THE BEST PART!"

"YOSHI! Listen to me!" growled Wendy.

"WHAT? GET OFF MY ROOF!" Yoshi said.

"I can explain. I'm Wendy Koopa."

"What? Wendy KOOPA? BOWSER'S DAUGHTER? GET OUT OF HERE, YOU SCUM!" yelled Yoshi. "I WON'T HAVE YOUR KIND OVER HERE ON MY ISLAND!"

"Yes, I'm Bowser's daughter! I'm Princess Koopa! Please calm down! I can explain!" said Wendy.

"Fine." said Yoshi impatiently. "What is it?"

"I am Wendy Koopa, King Bowser's daughter. But YOU will call me Princess Koopa. We didn't mean to be here. We didn't MEAN to mess up your silly antenna! We were exiled out of the Koopa Kingdom, for certain reasons, and Bowser sent us here, to your island. The guards on the jet that flew us here got mad at us, and kicked us out of the plane. We were falling, I fortunately had a parachute. We parachuted down, and we crashed into your antenna. We couldn't help WHERE we landed. I'm sorry that your antenna's destroyed, but get over it. Anyway, that's what happened."

Yoshi was silent. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

""I didn't k-know you were r-r-royalty! I shouldn't have yelled. I don't want to be Yoshi soup!" said Yoshi. "It's..okay about the antenna."

"No problem. I'll deal with you later." Wendy replied.

"W-what?"

"I was KIDDING! Take it easy Yoshi!"said Wendy.

"Oh. O-o-okay. Is this all true? REALLY true? About falling out of the plane and all?" asked Yoshi.

"Yes. Every last word." replied Wendy.

"By the way." said Wendu, pointing to the other koopalings. "This is Prince Roy, Larry, Morton, Ludwig, Iggy, and Lemmy."

"Oh. I-I've seen you all before, but it was a l-long time ago." said Yoshi.

There was a bit of silence.

"It's uh...great to meet you Yoshi." said Ludwig, coming up to Yoshi. "We've heard alot about you in the Koopa Kingdom."

"Um... You too." said Yoshi, shaking hands with Ludwig nervously.

"Um...why don't you all stay here? I mean...I have to go into my house to get something." said Yoshi.

"Okay." said Wendy. "We'll wait here."

"Alright."

Yoshi reached into his pocket, and brought out a blue shell. He then ate the shell, flew down to the ground, and entered his house, slamming the door behind him. Leaning with his back against the closed door, he was very glad to be out of Wendy's hidious presence.

"Good grief. Wendy is the ugliest person ever! UGH! And I can't STAND the others. I have to do something. They can't live here on this island. They are enemies!"

Yoshi went over and sat down at his dining room table, and appeared to be thinking to himself. He then grabbed an apple from the fruit basket in the center of the table, and chomped a bite out of it.

"Hmmm..." thought Yoshi, chewing a mouthful of apple. "I can't do anything on my own about these koopalings...they're probably wondering what is taking me so long right now. I'll have to get rid of them quick!"

Yoshi got up from the dining room table, and walked over to the telephone on the counter of the kitchen. He then picked it up, and dialed the Mario Bros.' number. There was a bit of silence, and then the Mario Bros. answered. Yoshi swallowed his bite of apple in his mouth.

"Hello?"

"Mario! It's Yoshi! Listen, you are not going to believe what I am about to tell you!"

"What Yoshi? I believe everything you say!"

Just then Yoshi heard a thump on the roof, and saw a koopaling fall to the ground with a thud, through a kitchen window.

"Mario, the koopalings are on my island."

"WHAT? THE koopalings? Like...Bowser's kids?"

"Yeah."

"Oh wow." said Mario. "Um..how did they get THERE?"

"Well..." said Yoshi, sighing. "Some crackpot old story about Bowser exiling them out his kingdom. Wendy said that they made the guards on the plane mad, and they got sucked out the plane and landed here. Oh...and oh yeah. My antenna is destroyed! They parachuted down on it!"

"What? Wow. Well, I don't exactly know what to do..."

"Well, we need to get those koopa kids off my island, I mean, this is my home!"

"I understand, little dino." said Mario. "But we need some sort of plan."

"Well, I got a whole bunch of potato sacks in my pantry, I keep them for things, to put stuff into. Maybe we can lure the koopalings into a false sense of security, and then sack them, and take them to Peach. See what she does with them."

"You know, that really IS a good idea, Yoshi! Because I don't know what to do with them!"

"Yeah thanks. I guess I'll invite them into my house here, for tea or something. When can you and Luigi be here? I can't keep them clueless for long... I mean, they're stupid, but not COMPLETELY stupid."

"Yeah I know. Me and Luigi are getting in our truck right now. We'll be there in about ten minutes."

"Alright. Thank you so much. You guys are the best friends ever!"

"No problem! Bye!"

"Bye!"

Yoshi hung up the telephone with a relieved expression on his face. He was however, still nervous about having to go outside and face the koopalings, especially Wendy, again. With a determined attitude, he placed his apple core on the table, and then slowly turned the knob to go outside.

===================================== Chapter 2: The Koopalings Captured =====================================

"YOU ALL CAN COME DOWN NOW! I'VE MADE SOME TEA!" yelled Yoshi up at the roof.

"You want us to come down? Alright." said Wendy.

The koopalings jumped into a tree close to the house, and shimmied down its trunk. This is how they got off the roof. It took awhile but eventually all the koopalings were on the ground, waiting for Yoshi to go inside and make tea.

"Come in." said Yoshi, beckoning them to go inside. After the kids were inside, he pulled up some barrels and various other things to be used to sit on at the table.

"Please sit down."

The kids sat as they were asked, and waited eagerly for tea. Yoshi went over to the kitchen counter and grabbed a teapot out of the cabinet, filled it with water, and sat it on the stove, turning the stove on as well. Then he came and sat down at the head of the table as the koopalings looked at him with interest.

"When is it going to be done? I'm thirsty!" said Morton.

"N-No time soon." Yoshi replied with a shake in his voice as if he was nervous that his plan of capture would not work.

"Are you okay, Yoshi?" asked Wendy.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"It IS strange that you are having us for tea at such an odd hour, it isn't even tea time." remarked Wendy.

"Well... I don't get many guests so that's why I'm having you." replied Yoshi.

Yoshi started to shake a bit, nervous that the Mario Bros. had not arrived yet.

"Well, the tea is screaming." remarked Iggy, pointing at the teapot whistling loudly.

"Oh yes! I suppose I should..g-go get it then!" said Yoshi quickly, walking over to the stove and removing the pot. He then started to get out teacups, all the time wondering "Where are the Mario Bros.? Where are the Mario Bros.?".

"Oh do hurry up." demanded Wendy rudely.

Just then a small rumbling sound was heard outside, like a car pulling up next to the cottage.

"What was that?" asked Ludwig.

"Your mama." replied Lemmy.

Now the sound of car doors closing were heard outside.

"It's nothing." said Yoshi quickly. "It's just the mail man." Yoshi added, slowly pouring tea into the cups.

As the Mario Bros. jumped out of their plumbing truck, and slowly walked up to Yoshi's door and crept by it, about to kick it in, the koopalings were almost totally unaware of the Mario Bros. being there.

"We have to come up on-a-them quick." whispered Mario to Luigi.

Mario plucked a bomb out of the ground, out of Yoshi's garden and threw it next to the door, it began to flash, Mario and Luigi jumped away from it just in time.

"No really!" said Wendy in a panic. "What is that! Who's the-"

*BOOM*

The door was blown in by the bomb with a crash, and Mario and Luigi dashed inside armed with plunger guns, aiming them at the koopalings.

"MARIO! LUIGI! NO!" screamed Wendy exasperatedly, panicking as to what to do, she tried to get out of her chair but tripped, falling on the floor with a thud.

"Don't kill us!" said Iggy, covering his head with his arms.

"HA HA!" said Mario, firing a plunger at Iggy, knocking him out. "Too-a-late!"

"PLEASE! I CAN EXPLAIN!" screamed Wendy. She was panicking over nothing again. I mean, seriously, how is getting knocked out by a high-speed plunger life-threatening?

"Here we go!" said Luigi, firing at three other koopalings, instantly knocking them out, leaving a grand total of two left.

"I'M SORRY!" yelled Ludwig.

"HA HA!" Mario and Luigi, together, ran outside and pulled up a huge radish, and tossed that at the remaining koopalings, knocking them ALL out in a two-hit combo.

When this was done the Mario Bros. in unison lifted their plunger guns to their mouths, and blew them off stylishly, followed by dusting off their hands, smiling.

"I was beginning to wonder if you'd EVER get here!" said Yoshi happily, seeing the other koopalings laying knocked out on the floor.

"We came as fast as we-a-could, Yoshi! Now let's get them sacked up, and ready for-a-Peach!" said Mario.

"They heard when you guys drove up. I had to tell them it was the mail man." said Yoshi.

"The mail-a-man?!?" said Luigi laughing hard. "HA HA! They are so stupid! They believe ANYthing!"

"Yes I know. The potato sacks are in the pantry. And do you guys want tea? I was making some, trying to buy time for you to get here." Yoshi said.

"That-a-sounds good. I'd love some." said Mario.

"Same-a-here." said Luigi.

The Mario Bros. walked into Yoshi's food pantry in his cottage, and started picking out some sturdy potato sacks to sack the koopalings in, as Yoshi was getting the tea ready.

"This one is big. Should-a-fit Wendy fine." remarked Luigi.

"Yes, that seems big enough. I'll grab THIS-a-one." said Mario, grabbing a big potato sack and walking over to Iggy.

"How are you guys going to get the sacks on them anyway?" asked Yoshi curiously, adding cream and sugar to the tea.

"It's easy. See? Watch. I slip the sack under them, like this." said Mario, pulling the sack open, and pulling it up in front of Iggy. "Then.... Luigi, hold this sack will ya?"

"Sure." Luigi said, holding the sack open.

Mario rolled Iggy, with a bit of difficulty, into the sack.

"There we go. It's-a-good."

"Wow! You guys are smart. No wonder they call you the SUPER Mario Bros.!" complimented Yoshi, setting the teacups on the table.

"Ha ha, thank-a-you. Let us do the same to the others." said Mario.

Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi helped to sack up the koopalings one by one, and tie the sacks shut with string. When they finished this, they all sat down at the table and sipped their tea happily.

"It really is good to have them taken care of." said Yoshi.

"Yeah. They suck." said Luigi, sipping a hot drink of tea.

"They do." Mario said, doing the same.

After a bit the Mario Bros. and Yoshi finished their tea, and set the teacups down softly on the table.

"Well, we must-a-be getting to-a-Peach. Take these mongrels to her Majesty, know what I'm-a-saying?" said Mario.

"Yes." replied Yoshi. "Let us be going then. I suppose I am coming with you?"

"Of course." said Luigi. "Why would we leave-a-you?"

"I have NO earthly idea." Yoshi replied. "Alright...I'll lock up. You guys wait outside."

"Alright. But there's just ONE-a-thing." said Mario.

"What?" said Yoshi.

"Let's carry the koopas to the truck."

"Oh boy...I..heh... forgot about that." said Yoshi.

"It's easy, Yoshi. Just grab a-a-sack." said Luigi.

And so (Yes I know 'and so' is not correct grammar, but I'm trying to make a freaking point here, so take it easy on me), The Mario Bros. and Yoshi dragged the koopalings outside in their sacks, and Yoshi locked up his cottage, as Mario and Luigi threw the koopalings in the back of their plumbing truck, shut the doors, then buckled into their seats. Yoshi, jumped into the truck as well. And they all drove off to Peach's castle, which was, may I add, MANY times smaller than Bowser's.

=================================== Chapter 3: The Weather Pro 200 ===================================

Back at Bowser's castle, Bowser is sitting on his throne, bored and eagerly awaiting the completion of his most ambitious project yet, the Weather Pro 200. He isn't the typical villain king; he's actually not being evil at all, except for when he acts in the games.

"Sire, the Weather Pro 200 is being developed right now." said a servant.

"Ah. This is good to hear. I never dreamed that I would one day build a machine simply from an idea in a movie!" said Bowser, sitting up in his throne, as he had been laying almost asleep.

Bowser removed his spiky crown from his head and surveyed it thoughtfully, then looked up at his servant.

"And, when do you think it will be done?" said he.

"I think about noon tommorow, Sire." the servant replied.

Bowser smiled.

"Lazlo you are such a good servant. Always so knowledgeable, and dependable. That really is great." said Bowser kindly.

"Why, thank you Sire. I try." replied Lazlo.

"Ah. Not bad for a popopo."

"Ha ha, thanks Sire."

Bowser sighed, looking at his sharp claws, examining them to see if they needed sharpening. It seems they did, because he soon asked:

"Lazlo, may I have a file please?"

"Certainly." said Lazlo, handing Bowser a file, from a sack on the floor nearby.

"Thank you very much."

Bowser took the file and started scraping it across one of his claws, making a scritching noise, slowly sharpening the claw to perfection. While he did this he started talking again.

"Hmm...." said Bowser, filing. "I wonder what the peasants are doing today?"

"Sire, I really have no idea. They're probably wondering what YOU'RE doing."

"Ha ha. Nice one." said Bowser, winking at Lazlo playfully. "Well, the answer to what I am doing is 'Nothing entertaining'."

"Nothing entertaining? Sire, you can do more than most people. You are the king."

"I know that." said Bowser sighing. "Not a BAD predicament to be born into...But..."

Bowser could not seem to find the words to say, so he sighed again.

So, while Bowser is busy being bored, we shall travel to the devopment district of the castle, where several goombas and koopas are working on the Weather Pro 200 diligently. Loud whines of machinery and thumping of machines was droning on in this very warm chamber.

"Why does Bowser want this machine anyway?" asked a tired and grumpy goomba.

"To control the weather, duh!" replied another goomba. "It's time for a break, anyway." continued he, putting the heavy wrench he was working with down on a flat surface of the machine.

"I think it's time for another round." said the first goomba, whose name was Jody.

"Agreed." replied the second goomba, Patrick, whipping out a pack of playing cards from his pocket.

Patrick started laying out the cards in the order for a game of Go Fish. Unfortunately, Patrick dropped the whole pack of cards into the machine, and reached in head-first to get them. This caused him to get hung up on a sharp piece of metal. Just then, NintenDan, lead coordinator of the Shy Guy lab workers walked in.

"Are you guys playing cards AGAIN?!? What progress has been made? What the- PATRICK!"

NintenDan ran over to Patrick. Seing his friend stuck in the machine by his hair, Jody was just panicking, unable to control himself to see what he should do, staring at his friend Patrick's behind ecstaticly.

"Oh no!" said NintenDan excitedly. "What did you DO Patrick?!?"

Patrick replied with a muffled series of sounds that nobody could understand, but in reality was saying just this:

"I was trying to play a game of Go Fish and the card pack fell in the machine I tried to get it out and got stuck!"

"What? Were you guys playing cards AGAIN? Master will not be pleased! How am I going to get you out NOW?" asked NintenDan.

"I just don't know what to do, sir." said Jody.

At this moment the great King Bowser himself stepped into the lab to check out what progress had been made on his most clever machine. He spotted the goomba stuck in the machine by his hair and laughed.

"What happened here?" said Bowser, giggling.

"The idiot got stuck in his machine by his hair. He was playing cards again on the job! Lazy goomba! I'm very sorry Your Majesty!" said NintenDan, pulling on Patrick hard to get him out. He did not budge.

"Playing CARDS you say? Well I've heard worse things. My advice to you, all workers...." started Bowser.

All of the workers acknowledged Bowser's presence and bowed down to him, listening on his every word.

"My advice to you is to work quickly, otherwise we shall never get done. And I really need this machine by this week. The weather has taken a nasty turn outside and it will be a horrible winter. So, back to work! CHOP CHOP!" ordered Bowser, clapping his paws.

"Your Highness, Patrick is stuck solid in this thing!" said NintenDan, pulling on Patrick's head forcefully.

"OW MY HEAD!" screamed Patrick painfully.

"QUIT STRAINING PATRICK!" ordered NintenDan. "You'll just make it WORSE!"

Bowser laughed a bit at this whole frenzy.

"Sire? What do you find funny about this?" asked NintenDan, a bit offended, looking back at Bowser.

"It's just such a simple solution, and yet you brilliant technicians do not know it." said Bowser, smiling a bit, showing his very sharp teeth.

"Please Sire! Tell us so that we may end this situation with nobody getting hurt now!" said NintenDan excitedly.

Bowser smiled still and said very kindly the following:

"He is stuck in the machine by his hair, yes?"

"Yes Your Majesty." replied NintenDan.

"And WHAT have you tried to get him out so far?" asked Bowser.

"Well, n-nothing as of this moment, Sire." NintenDan replied.

"Not to offend you, NintenDan, but, your ignorance is apparent. He is stuck by his hair? Use hair clippers instead." said Bowser in a most kind, majestic way.

"Why thank you, Your Majesty, said NintenDan, glancing over at Patrick, who was still stuck. SHY GUYS! GET ME SOME HAIR CLIPPERS!"

"YES SIR!" They all said.

A simple thrust of the hair clippers through Patrick's wiry hair cut him loose from the machine immediately. He and NintenDan reeled over, head over heels, falling back onto the hard, cold, lab floor of stone.

"YOUR MAJESTY IT WORKED!" said NintenDan, getting to his feet and wheeling around to talk to Bowser.

However, Bowser was not there. There was just a spot of sunlight on the floor where he had stood, coming in lazily through a small window.

"Heh heh....he is very busy isn't he?" said NintenDan, staring at the spot.

"Yes sir." his workers replied yet again.

"Well I suppose a king can't stick around long."

"Yes sir."

"Thanks for freeing me, big buddy!" said Patrick, hugging NintenDan. I don't know HOW he managed to do this with NO ARMS....but yeah.

"Well, everyone, BACK TO WORK!" NintenDan ordered at his employees.

"Yes sir!" came the reply.

NintenDan then walked off to get his lunch box.

=============================== Chapter 4: A Decision For The Princess ===============================

"Toad, get me some candy would you?" asked Peach kindly, typing up something on her laptop, sitting on her throne.

"Yes, Princess." said Toad in reply. Next thing Peach saw was Toad bobbing off down a corridor of her castle to get that candy, as he was told.

"I'm just so bored, Daisy." said Peach, glancing at her sister Princess Daisy, whom was over at Peach's castle, visiting for a few days.

"I know. That report you're typing is for what again?" asked Daisy, standing leaning on the side of the throne, peering at the screen of Peach's laptop.

"It is for school of course." she replied. "It's a report on warp pipes and how they work to affect the environment of time."

"Oh." said Daisy blankly. "I don't even know how warp pipes work." said she in matter-of-fact tone. "How do they, Peachy?"

"It's very complicated. You should just wait until I'm done with the report. Then you can read it." said Peach, looking off to the side, away from Daisy, trying not to laugh at how Daisy believed such a lie.

"Oh. Very well then." Daisy replied, sighing. "Care for a tennis match?"

Daisy walked over to grab a tennis racket off the wall, and held it in her gloved hands thoughtfully.

"No thanks. I've really got to get this done. Toadsworth wants me to have a good education. I am basically a queen, after all. People expect me to be smart."

"Oh darn." Daisy replied, sighing yet again. "Okay then."

Suddenly a toad guard ran into the throne room, bowing very politely to Peach and Daisy.

"Your Majesty!" he said.

"Yes Frankete? What is it?" came the reply from Peach, who looked up from her laptop.

"The Mario Brothers are here! Yoshi came too, I am informed." said Frankete.

"What? That's awesome! Send them in!" said Peach excitedly.

"Ah. But there is one thing, Your Highness." said he loudly.

"What is that?" asked Peach, sounding interested.

"They have King Bowser's koopalings with them. The Mario Brothers claim they captured them at Yoshi's house."

"What, Frankete?!?" said Peach, shocked, and quickly closing her laptop. "King Bowser's KIDS!?!?"

"Yes Your Highness."

There was a bit of silence, before Peach continued:

"Well, send them in anyway, with the koopalings. They are in the Mario Brothers' control?" asked Peach warily.

"Yes. Will do, Your Majesty." replied Frankete, running quickly out of the throne room.

"Bowser's KIDS are coming here?!" asked Daisy, dropping the tennis racket she was holding, frightened.

"Yes Daisy." replied Peach, annoyed.

"Now, let me look my best for Mario." Peach said, taking her crown off, and then whipping a brush out of her dress and brushing her golden blonde hair. She then put her crown back on, folded her white gloved hands one on top the other, in her lap, and sat up straight in the throne, trying to look as proper as possible.

The throne room doors were quickly opened by the guards, as Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi ran in.

"Mario!" said Peach excitedly, getting off her throne and running up to him, hugging him. "I'm so glad you're here!"

"Peach! It's-a-me, Mario!"

"I know this, Mario." replied Peach, hugging Mario, but completely forgetting the presence of Luigi and Yoshi.

"HEY!" said Yoshi. "I'm here too!"

"Yeah!" said Luigi.

"Oh. Yeah." said Peach, embarassed, letting go of Mario. "Sorry. How are you guys!" she said, running up and hugging them also.

"Great!" said Luigi.

"I'm okay." said Yoshi, unenthusiastically.

"Peachy, we-a-have a problem." said Mario.

"And what is that? Is it the koopalings?" asked Peach.

"Yes!" replied Mario excitedly. "How did you know?"

"Oh, I have my ways." Peach said.

Peach walked over to her throne and sat down again, folding her hands on top of the other, and sitting very proper, as most queens do, in fact. She listened attentively to what the Mario Bros. were saying.

"My servant...what was his name again...." said Peach, looking at the sky thoughtfully, trying to remember.

"It's Frankete, Your Majesty." said Frankete, stepping forward from out of the corner, and bowing politely.

"Oh." said Peach.

"Yoshi told us that the-a-koopalings crashed down at his-a-house." said Mario conversationally.

"What!?!?" said Peach.

Yoshi stepped forward and freely spoke.

"Yes, I was watching a match of tennis on TV and CRASH, they smashed into my antenna. They told me some stupid story that Bowser exiled them from the KK and the guards kicked them out the plane...it's a long story."

"Wow." said Peach.

"Also, the reason we are-a-here is we were bringing them to-a-you. See, we dunno what to do with-a-them. Yoshi does not want-a-them on his island." said Luigi.

"Well...where are they?" Peach asked.

"They are in our truck. In neat little bags. Why?" said Luigi.

"Could you bring them to me so I can talk to them?"

"Sure!" said Mario happily.

"You are not bringing the koopa kids in this CASTLE are you?!?" asked Daisy, scaredly.

"Yes Daisy, that seems to be the plan." Peach replied, annoyed yet again.

"Go ahead and bring them in." said Peach to a toad guard next to her.

"Yes Your Highness." said the guard, walking quickly to go outside the castle.

"Peach, excuse us, we-a-need to help him get them out." said Mario.

"Alright." replied Peach.

"Thanks." said Mario, running after the guard, with Yoshi and Luigi following behind.

"WAIT!" yelled Mario at the guard. The toad guard turned around quickly.

"What!"

"Let us help-a-you get them out the-a-truck. They're a pretty handful to-a-deal with."

"Okay." said the guard, a little disturbed because nobody had interrupted him from his orders before.

"So." said Mario. "I've got them all-a-bundled up in the back of my-a-truck. We'll have to be a bit quick about-a-this."

"Okay." replied the guard, not sure why Mario was telling him this.

"Right. See, I have orders, and I know how to carry them out, Mario." said the guard vaguely.

"Well sorry to-a-bother you." said Mario, annoyed.

After such a pass of time they had walked out of the castle and into the warm, lazy sunlight outside, and had arrived at the back of the Mario Brothers' truck. The toad guard ran over to open the double doors on the back of the truck quickly.

"Uh! Uh! Let ME do that!" said Mario, running over to the back of the truck and tearing the guard away from it.

This did not go over well with the guard at all.

"DANG IT MARIO! I KNOW HOW TO FREAKING DO MY FREAKING JOB!" screamed the guard, infuriated, smashing his knuckles into Mario's face.

This caused Mario to have a nosebleed.

"OW YOU IDIOT!" screamed Mario, beyond furious, punching the guard's face as well.

"OW SON OF A! WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?!" yelled the guard angrily, rubbing his face.

"AN IDIOT! NOW-A-DIE!" said Mario, dashing forcefully into the guard, in an attempt to drive his forehead through his.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?!?!" the guard screamed yet again.

The two vanished into a loud, rowdy cloud of dirt and grime, arms sticking out now and then, punching each other furiously. You could hear knuckles crunch into each of their faces, legs, etc. It was almost like a wrestling match. After this went on about three minutes, Luigi grew tired of watching it.

"Fine." said Luigi calmly, sighing and rolling his eyes. "I'll get them out my-a-self."

"DIIIIIIIIIIE!" came the screams, as knuckles continued to crunch into the two's faces intensely.

Luigi grasped the metal handles on the back of the truck and rotated them downward, calmly opening the back doors, to find, much to his surprise, that is was very hot in the truck from sitting out in the sunlight. The koopalings lay squirming in the potato sacks that they were held in, screaming out various impolite things at Luigi that I do not care to write here.

"LOOT US OOT YOU DUMB *Censored*!!!" said a voice that sounded like Wendy.

"Ah, shut up." Luigi replied, annoyed.

And so the insults at Luigi continued, as the fight continued, to the side of the truck as well. It seemed the Toad was winning, as he had Mario down on his back and was pounding Mario's face in loudly with both his fists.

Luigi took it upon himself, as Mario and the Toad would not quit fighting, to tie the bags together and drag all the koopalings into Peach's throne room together. Peach was shocked to see all seven of Bowser's kids in her presence. What shocked her most was the horrid language they were using while kicking to get out of the bags.

"Oh my!" said Peach excitedly! You got ALL of them?!!?"

"No Peachy." said Luigi. "We don't-a-have Bowser Junior."

Luigi carefully untied the bags from each other.

"And where is Mario and the Toad!?" asked Peach, worried.

"Oh! They're-a-outside knocking each other's lights-a-out."

"What?!?" exclaimed Peach.

Luigi casually ripped the bags off the koopalings, as guards rushed up to them to hold them from escaping.

"How UNCIVILIZED!" said Peach, disgusted. "How can they just fight like that?!"
