Bowser Day: Koopa Family Portrait
Hi everyone! I'm still outlining my next fanfic, but I'm finally back with a new story! Hopefully these ones will be a lot better than the ones that I wrote for Koopa Week last year ^^; Now these short stories will be set around or after my other fanfic "A New Baby Redux" (which I plan on rewriting yet again lol). Well, I hope you all enjoy these!
Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!
Bowser grinned as he entered his castle with Junior by his side. He and his youngest son were in the Mushroom Kingdom today and won a tennis match against Mario and Toad. Bowser chuckled to himself, keeping the gold trophy to his chest.
"The look on Mario's face when he lost! Haha!"
"Yeah!" Junior giggled. "And that Toad looked super mad!"
As they walked through the hall, Bowser looked at the portraits hanging on the walls. Most of them were portraits of himself, but others were of his wife and children over the years. He even had some of his sister and her family. Bowser Jr. rushed to the game room after hearing his siblings talking. Bowser chuckled and took his trophy to a shelf where his other trophies were sitting. After placing his new trophy with the others, Bowser made his way to his room to rest.
When he opened his bedroom door, he found his wife Clawdia sitting on their bed, holding their granddaughter as she watched tv. Bowser sat next to her and chuckled as Tammy smiled at him.
"How did the game go?" Clawdia asked him.
Bowser grinned. "We won!"
"Congrats! I knew you and Junior could do it!"
Tammy reached out to Bowser, squirming in Clawdia's arms.
Clawdia playfully rolled her eyes and said, "Fine. I guess Grandpa can hold you for a bit."
Bowser laughed as he took the baby from her. "I can't believe I'm getting called that now."
Clawdia giggled. "Me neither." She smiled at Tammy. "But I'm so glad that she's here. Even though it's so soon."
Bowser looked down at Tammy. "Yeah."
He watched as his granddaughter yawned. He had a grandchild. Bowser and Clawdia were grandparents. It was still so crazy to him. As he watched Tammy close her eyes, Bowser realized something.
"We don't have a picture of Tammy and the rest of us together, do we?"
"Uh," Clawdia pondered for a moment. "No, we don't."
"Huh." Bowser looked at Tammy again. "Y'know what? We should fix that."
Bowser and Clawdia sat at the table in the dining hall as they waited for their children to arrive. After a few minutes went by, one by one the kids entered and took their seats. As he looked around the table, Bowser noticed one child missing.
"Where's Iggy?" He wondered.
"I'm here!" Everyone heard Iggy say as he entered the dining hall. He sat down next to Lemmy. "I took Tammy back to Tiana."
Bowser Jr. pouted. "Aw, I wanted to play with her more!"
The chefs came into the dining hall and placed the food and drinks in front of everyone. Once the chefs left, everyone began to dig in. Bowser cleared his throat after swallowing a bite of his fried Cheep Cheep.
"Everyone, I have an announcement." He said.
"We're gonna take a break from invading the Mushroom Kingdom?" Morton asked.
"Yeah!" Larry chimed in. "I'm getting tired of fighting those plumbers. My head's still a little sore from last week's battle."
Bowser chuckled. "Unfortunately, no." The kids groaned, but Bowser continued. "In a few weeks, we're going to take a family portrait!"
The kids were silent. A minute later, Roy spoke up.
"...Why? Do we really need to?"
"Yeah. I mean, we already took one last year and the year before that in the Magma Kingdom." Morton added.
"Oh, come on, guys! This is great!" Bowser exclaimed. "Your aunt and uncle already agreed to it! Besides, we don't have a photo of us with Tammy."
"Really?" Lemmy asked as he chewed his food.
Iggy softly gasped. "You're right, we don't!"
Wendy smiled. "Well, I do enjoy dressing up. Plus, I'd love to see Tammy in one of the dresses and bows that I bought her recently."
Larry snorted. "You better hope she doesn't get it dirty."
Wendy giggled and replied, "Well, if she does, I've got plenty more that I can bring as a backup."
Bowser drank some of his soda as he listened to his wife and kids talk, now excited to take the photo.
Weeks went by and everyone couldn't wait to get their picture taken. Wendy was the most excited out of all of them. After her father told them about the portrait, she left the dining hall after dinner and went to her room to pick out the perfect outfit to wear. One day while visiting the castle, Bowser told Tiana about the portrait and wanted her to be in it. She was very hesitant, but Bowser and Clawdia insisted, telling her that they considered her a part of the family. Bowser laughed a little, seeing how embarrassed and happy Tiana was after hearing that.
The day finally came and everyone boarded the airship. Since Grumble Volcano is situated between both of their kingdoms, Bowser and Clawdeen suggested that they take the photo there. Wendy pulled out her compact mirror and double checked her makeup. She chose to wear a white dress with pink polka dots. After making sure that she looked good, Wendy put her mirror away and looked over at Tammy.
Tammy wore a pink dress along with a pink bow in her hair. Tiana was currently feeding Tammy while Iggy kissed her forehead. Bowser glanced at Tammy and grinned. This was going to be perfect!
A few minutes later, Bowser looked out of the window and said, "We're almost there!"
Everyone looked also. In addition to the volcano, they spotted another airship approaching the area. Soon, both airships landed when they arrived and everyone walked out. Clawdeen, Bowser's younger sister, grinned as she ran over to him and hugged him tightly.
"Bowsie! It's so great to see you guys!"
Bowser groaned, still hating that nickname. He let her go and said, "Seriously, sis. You gotta stop calling me that."
Clawdeen smirked. "Hmm... nope!"
Bowser rolled his eyes and looked around at everyone. Langston, Clawdeen's husband, greeted Clawdia while the kids were catching up. Sharon and Austin, two of Clawdeen and Langston's eight children, walked over to Iggy and Tiana. After speaking with them, they immediately began talking to and playing with Tammy. Three minutes later, a female Lakitu with short brown hair floated over to the Koopas.
"Lord Bowser! Queen Clawdeen! I'm here!" She bowed to them.
Clawdeen smiled. "And just in time!"
It took a few minutes, especially since Junior and Talisa were goofing off, but everyone got arranged and stood close together. The Lakitu took out her camera and turned it on.
"Is everyone ready?" She asked. She grinned when they all answered yes. "Ok! Three... two... one!"
At the same time as she took the picture, Tammy began to cry. Tiana and Iggy frowned and did their best to calm her down.
"Shh. Tammy, it's alright." Iggy whispered as Tiana gently rocked her.
"Let me try." Wendy said. Once Tiana handed Tammy to her, Wendy gently bounced her. "Don't worry, Tammy. Everyone's alri—"
Wendy shrieked loudly as Tammy spat up, getting both of their dresses dirty. Tammy finally stopped crying and giggled. A few of the kids tried to hold back a laugh, but failed.
Iggy chuckled nervously. "A-At least she's not crying."
Wendy let out a sigh as she walked away. "...I'm gonna take Tammy to the airship to get changed."
Wendy and Tammy returned to the group two minutes later. Tammy looked around, now wearing a purple dress and matching bow. Wendy still wore her dress, but she had a stain on it. She handed Tammy to Iggy and hid behind Roy, peeking out from behind him.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
Wendy rolled her eyes. "I'm only going to show my face! I'm not getting my picture taken with a stain on my outfit!"
Tiana giggled. "Sorry, Wendy."
Wendy sighed again and smiled. "Well, at least Tammy looks good."
The Lakitu cleared her throat. "Let's try again." She got the camera ready. "Three... two... one!"
Everybody smiled as she snapped the photo. Once she had finished, everyone moved out of their spots.
"I think that went well!" Clawdia said.
Larry laughed. "I should've taken a picture of Wendy's face! Tammy got her good!"
Wendy sent him a glare as Larry continued laughing. The Lakitu then flew over to Bowser and Clawdeen, showing them the picture on her camera.
"Here it is, Your Majesties! I'll have it printed out and sent to you both as soon as possible!"
Clawdeen grinned. "Thank you so much!"
After that, the Lakitu said goodbye and flew away. Bowser turned to his sister and asked, "Since we're all together, why don't we head to your castle and hang out for a bit?"
Clawdeen nodded. "Of course! Besides, I wanna play with Tammy more, grandpa!"
Bowser rolled his eyes as Clawdeen laughed. Then, everyone boarded the airships and made their way to the Magma Kingdom.
I hope this was ok. See ya tomorrow for Larry Day!
Larry Day: The Lost Toy Rescue
Here's a story about Larry! Hope you enjoy it :D
Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!
Larry Koopa smiled as he walked through the halls of the castle. Today, he and the rest of his family were going to visit his aunt, uncle, and cousins in their kingdom. His little niece Tammy was also joining them, since they were watching her for the weekend. Larry was very eager to see his whole family! Especially his younger cousin John. Larry chuckled to himself as he imagined beating John at a fighting game.
"Are you excited to see everyone, Tammy?" Iggy asked his daughter. She gurgled in response.
Everyone made their way out of the castle and boarded Bowser's airship. Once everyone took their seats, the airship lifted off and flew away from the Koopa Kingdom. Larry looked out of the window, seeing the homes and buildings that they passed. He looked over at Tammy and smiled after hearing her coo. Eventually, they saw Grumble Volcano in the distance, which meant that they were almost there.
"Hello everybody!" Clawdeen, Bowser's younger sister, greeted as the others walked out of the airship.
"Hi, auntie!" Bowser Jr. grinned and ran over to her, hugging Clawdeen.
After letting go of Junior, Clawdeen led Bowser and the others inside of her castle. They arrived in the throne room where Langston, Clawdeen's husband, was waiting. Smiling, Langston walked over to the group. He gave Clawdeen a quick kiss (making some of the kids groan) and greeted everyone.
"Hey guys! You finally made it!"
Clawdia smiled. "Yep!"
Bowser looked at his sister and asked, "Where are the others?"
Clawdeen replied, "Oh, the kids are in the game room. I'll go get them and you guys can meet us in the Great Hall." Clawdeen grinned. "I want us to play some games!"
After Clawdeen left, Langston walked over to Iggy and Tammy.
"Hi, Tammy." Langston smiled softly at her. "I have something for you."
Langston reached inside of his shell and pulled out a plush Chain Chomp. Tammy squealed as she reached for the toy.
Iggy smiled. "When did you get this?"
Langston replied, "This morning while I was out. I thought Tammy would like it."
Iggy looked at his daughter, still smiling. "Say 'thank you', Tammy."
Tammy gurgled.
Langston laughed. "You're welcome, cutie pie."
Clawdeen arrived in the Great Hall with the rest of her children. They greeted their cousins and gushed over Tammy, who giggled. They sat down at the table and played a few card and board games. After that, the children left the Great Hall to hang out. Some went to the game room while others went upstairs.
Larry and John went upstairs to John's room to play some video games. John got a new sports game recently, so he chose to play it with Larry. As John passed Larry a controller, Larry picked up the game case and looked at it.
"So, this has a lot of sports games, huh?" He asked.
John nodded as he inserted the game into the console. "Yep! Probably over forty."
Larry snorted. "I'm gonna win at all of them!"
John rolled his eyes as he sat next to his older cousin. "We'll see."
Once they got to the selection screen, John went to the basketball game. After a couple seconds, the game started. Larry, as usual, was winning the game. John grumbled as he tried to shoot the ball. Unfortunately for him, it didn't make it into the hoop. After a while, Larry won the game.
"Woohoo!" Larry cheered.
John pouted. "I don't know why I even play games with you! You're always cheating!"
"Hey, you can't be mad 'cause I'm awesome!" Larry replied.
"Whatever. What sport should we play now?" John asked.
Larry looked through the selection screen. He saw football, volleyball, golf, bowling, and even horse racing! Eventually, Larry's eyes landed on one specific game, making him grin widely.
"Alright! They got tennis!"
John groaned. "Great. You're DEFINITELY gonna cheat at this..."
Larry gasped dramatically, putting his hand to his chest. "Johnny! How dare you! I'd NEVER cheat at tennis!"
"Yes you would!" John responded.
Larry giggled. "Alright. I'll try to take it easy on you this time. Maybe I'll let you win." Larry snorted. "Maybe..."
As John started the game, the two froze when they heard a loud scream.
John looked at Larry. "What was that?"
Larry replied with a shrug. Pausing the game, John and Larry opened the door, hearing the scream more clearly. They walked down the hallway until they made it to Sharon's room. Inside her room, Sharon and Iggy were trying to calm down Tammy, who was the one screaming and crying. Iggy gently bounced her, but it wasn't enough.
"Aw, Tammy. What's the matter?" Sharon asked.
"She's not hungry and she doesn't need to be changed. I don't know what's wrong!" Iggy exclaimed.
Larry walked closer. "Is she tired?"
Iggy shook his head. "She took a nap an hour ago.
As Tammy continued to wail, a thought crossed John's mind.
"Wait a sec! Didn't Dad give her a new toy earlier?" He asked.
"Oh right!" Iggy smiled. "Maybe the toy will calm her dow—"
Iggy looked at the floor. The toy Chain Chomp wasn't there. He glanced behind him and to his sides. It still wasn't there.
Iggy frowned. "Oh no."
"Oh no?" Sharon asked. "What is it?"
"The Chain Chomp is missing!" Iggy exclaimed. "I could've sworn she had it in her hand!"
"Maybe she dropped it somewhere." John replied.
Larry frowned as he watched Tammy cry louder and Iggy desperately trying to soothe her. Then, he got an idea.
"I'll find it."
"You will?" Iggy asked.
Larry nodded. "I mean, it shouldn't take too long. It's gotta be somewhere in the castle."
Iggy gave him a small smile. "Thanks, Larry."
Larry then turned around and walked out of Sharon's room.
"Ok... where should I look first?" Larry wondered as he glanced around the hallway.
Larry walked down the hall, looking at the floor in case the toy was nearby. Sadly, it wasn't.
"Hm. Maybe it's somewhere downstairs."
After descending the stairs, Larry opened a door to one of the closets. He looked inside and only saw cleaning supplies. Closing the door, Larry continued walking. As he walked, Sandra was walking by, carrying a book.
"Larry? What are you up to?" She asked.
"Tammy lost her new toy." Larry explained. "Have you seen it anywhere?"
"Hmm. I don't think so. Maybe you should check the game room. Some of the others are still in there."
"Ok."
As Sandra made her way upstairs, Larry walked through another hall until he arrived at the game room. Roy and Alex were arm wrestling, Ludwig was showing Ken a new song he'd been working on, and Austin was watching Junior and Talisa draw. Larry walked inside and immediately started looking around. The others looked up and watched as he looked under the couch and behind the curtains.
"What are you doing, Larry?" Junior asked.
Larry sighed. "Looking for Tammy's toy. She's upstairs crying and I volunteered to help find it." Larry stood up. "So far, I'm having trouble finding it."
"Hmm." Ludwig thought for a moment. "Iggy did go back to the throne room before going with Sharon. Or, it could be in the Great Hall."
Larry nodded. "Alright! I'll try those!"
"Hmph! It's not here either!" Larry groaned as he stood up.
Since the Great Hall was nearby, he decided to check there first. He looked under the table, near the entrance, and next to the chair where Iggy sat earlier. Still, there was no Chain Chomp toy. Larry sighed and walked out of the Great Hall.
"I guess I'll try the throne room..."
Larry began scanning the throne room as soon as he stepped inside. He looked in the middle of the room, but the Chain Chomp plushie wasn't there. Larry walked over to the thrones and looked around them. Once again, it wasn't there.
Larry growled. "Oh come on! Where could one toy be?!"
Larry shook his head and left the throne room. He was walking by the kitchen when Langston walked out of it, bumping into him and knocking Larry down.
"Oh! Sorry, Larry." Langston said as he helped his nephew up.
Larry replied, "Eh, it's fine. I'm alright."
"Oh! Since you're here, can you give this to Iggy?" Langston reached into his shell and there it was! The Chain Chomp plush toy! "Tammy must've dropped it when they were in here earlier."
Larry grinned. Finally! He nodded and took the toy from his uncle. Larry then bolted through the halls and up the stairs. He quickly made his way back to Sharon's room, where his cousins, brother, and niece were still in. Tammy finally stopped crying, but she still looked upset.
Larry's grin widened as he walked over to Tammy and Iggy. "Look what I found, Tammy!"
When Tammy noticed the toy, she squealed. Larry and the others smiled as Tammy took the toy from him and looked at it.
"She seems happier now." Sharon said.
"Thanks for finding it, Larry." Iggy smiled.
Larry kissed Tammy's forehead. "No problem!"
"Where was it anyways?" John asked him.
Larry explained, "Your dad found it in the kitchen. He gave it to me and asked if I could bring it to Iggy."
John snorted. "So he found it. Not you."
Larry rolled his eyes. "I still searched around the castle for it!"
John giggled. "Anyways, now that she has her toy, you wanna go back to the game?"
Larry grinned. "Heck yeah!"
Larry gave Tammy another kiss before following John back to his room.
I'm not sure how I feel about this story ^^; I'll post the next one tomorrow!
Morton Day: Mall Date Mayhem
Hi! It's Morton Day, so here's a story about him! I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!
Morton grinned as he walked out of his bedroom. Today, he and his girlfriend Stacey were going to have a date at the mall in Neo Bowser City. Stacey was on her way to the Koopa Kingdom, so Morton decided to wait for her in the living room. He sat down and turned on the tv, seeing a comedy show on. He leaned back against the couch after laughing at a joke.
Morton's phone began to vibrate a few minutes later. He took it out of his shell and smiled, seeing a text from Stacey. She was almost at the castle. Morton put his phone away after replying to her. As he went back to the show, Iggy entered the room, carrying Tammy in his arms.
"Oh, there you are, Morton!" Iggy said, approaching his older brother. He handed Tammy to him and sighed. "Thanks again for volunteering to babysit Tammy."
Morton blinked. "I... did?"
Iggy's jaw dropped. "Of course! Yesterday you said you'd watch her for a couple hours while I fix some of my inventions." Iggy frowned. "How'd you forget?"
Realization hit Morton. "Oh yeah! I did!"
Right at that moment, Stacey, Morton's human girlfriend, entered the room. "Hi! Are you ready for our date, Morty?" She raised an eyebrow, seeing the looks on Iggy and Morton's faces. "What's wrong?"
"I uh..." Morton scratched the back of his head. "I kinda forgot that I told Iggy that I'd watch Tammy for a while today."
Stacey replied, "Oh... and you planned our date on the same day."
There was a moment of silence. After thinking to himself, Morton smiled.
"Y'know what? Why don't we bring Tammy with us?"
"Really?" Iggy asked.
"Yeah!" Morton's smile got bigger. "I bet she'd like it! Plus, I could buy Tammy something."
Stacey smiled. "I don't have a problem with that."
"Well, alright. Thanks again." Iggy said.
Tammy smiled as Iggy planted a kiss on her forehead. As Iggy made his way to the lab, Morton turned off the tv and stood up, holding Tammy.
"So, I guess I should get Tammy's things and then we can get going." He said.
Stacey nodded. "Alright!"
Morton pushed Tammy's stroller as he and Stacey walked out of a Warp Pipe, arriving in Neo Bowser City. Tammy looked around, smiling at the neon lights and signs. Morton tried to hold Stacey's hand and push the stroller at the same time, but he kept bumping into things. Eventually, the trio arrived in front of the large mall and walked inside. A lot of Koopa Troopas, Dragon Koopas, and Goombas were shopping today. Morton then looked at Stacey.
"So, what should we do first?" He asked.
Morton's stomach grumbled, making him laugh nervously.
"I guess we can head to the food court first." Stacey laughed also. "I'm getting a little hungry too."
Morton led Stacey to the food court and they ordered their food. Once they had it, they sat down at a table and began to eat. As Morton bit into his burger, Tammy glanced up at him. She squirmed in her stroller and stretched her arms out toward her uncle's food. Morton glanced down at her after swallowing another bite.
"Oh, are you hungry too, Tammy?" He picked her up and grabbed her bottle.
As Morton brought the bottle towards her mouth, Tammy turned her head away.
Morton raised an eyebrow. "Huh? You're not hungry?"
Looking down at his burger, Tammy reached for it, but Morton chuckled and pulled her hand away.
"No, Tammy. You can't eat my burger."
When Tammy heard that, she scrunched up her face. Seeing this, Morton promptly bounced her.
"No no no, Tammy, don't cry!" Morton said.
Tammy slowly calmed down and as Morton brought her bottle to her again, she drank her milk. Stacey smiled at them. While Morton was distracted, Stacey took out her phone and took a picture of Morton and Tammy. After feeding Tammy, Morton placed her back in her stroller and went back to eating his lunch.
Stacey smiled and said, "You're really good with her."
"You really think so?" Morton asked.
Stacey nodded. "Yeah! Look at this!"
Pulling out her phone once more, Stacey showed Morton the photo she took. Morton chuckled at it.
"I should've known you'd take a picture."
Once they finished eating, the three walked away from the food court and looked around at the different stores. As they walked past a clothing store, they saw a baby boutique next door to it. Stacey smiled as she saw a pink and white dress inside.
"Awww, that's so cute! Tammy would look so adorable in that!"
Morton walked closer to get a better look. He smiled and replied, "You're right! Let's go buy it."
They walked inside of the boutique and after a minute, they bought the dress. Stacey held the bag with the dress inside and smiled down at Tammy.
"I can't wait to see you in this!" Stacey said to her. Tammy squealed in response.
The trio had a great time at the mall. As they walked inside a game store, Morton covered his nose, realizing that Tammy needed to be changed. Stacey laughed at his reaction and took Tammy to the bathroom to change her. After a few minutes, Stacey and Tammy returned to the game store where Morton waited. They walked back inside of the store and looked around. Morton spotted a new fighting game and decided to buy it.
After going to another clothing store, it was time for everyone to head home. Morton, Stacey, and Tammy walked out of the mall and towards the green Warp Pipe. Tammy snored softly as she slept in the stroller. Stacey grinned at Morton as they approached the Warp Pipe.
"This was so much fun, Morty!" She said.
Morton returned her smile. "Yeah. I had fun too." Morton looked down at Tammy and chuckled. "Tammy definitely had a good time."
As they made it through the other side of the Warp Pipe, Stacey spoke again. "I know I've said it earlier, but you really are good with her."
Morton kissed her cheek. "Thanks honey."
"You know, I think you'd be a great dad someday." Stacey said, making Morton blush.
"Y-You think so?" Morton asked her. His face reddened more as Stacey nodded.
They were silent for a moment. Finally, they arrived in Koopa Town. Then, Stacey spoke up.
"Well, I guess I should head back to the Mushroom Kingdom now."
"Alright." Morton ran his fingers through her short brown hair. "I'll talk to you later."
Stacey gave him another kiss. "Ok. Bye!"
Morton watched as Stacey walked away. Once she was out of sight, Morton looked down at his sleeping niece.
"Let's go home, Tammy."
And with that, Morton and Tammy made their way back to the castle.
Wendy Day is next! I hope you liked this one!
Wendy Day: Like Me
I hope you enjoy this one!
Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!
It was the afternoon in the Koopa Kingdom and Wendy, Bowser and Clawdia's only daughter, was entering the castle after going to the mall with her friends. Gazing at the bag in her right hand, she grinned. While at the mall, she bought some new perfume, makeup, and a brand new bow for Tammy. As she walked upstairs, she smiled, seeing her little niece in her brother's arms.
"Wendy!" Iggy approached her. "I'm glad you're here. Can you do me a favor?"
"A favor? What is it?" Wendy asked.
Iggy replied, "Can you watch Tammy for a bit? I've got a lot of homework to finish today."
Wendy grinned again. "Of course! I just bought her a new bow at the mall!"
Iggy handed the baby to his younger sister. "Thanks, Wendy. Hopefully it won't take me too long."
Iggy gave Tammy a kiss on the forehead and turned around, heading back to his room. Wendy smiled at Tammy.
"C'mon, Tam-Tam! Let's go to my room!"
"Awww, you look so cute!" Wendy cooed as she looked at Tammy's reflection in the mirror. Tammy now wore the brand new big purple bow in her hair that Wendy bought her.
Tammy giggled as she looked at herself in the mirror. Wendy then lifted Tammy up and placed her on the floor with her toys.
"Now, you sit here and play with your toys while I try out my new makeup, ok?" Wendy said. Tammy cooed in response.
Wendy sat in front of her vanity table and picked up her new eyeshadow. As she applied her eyeshadow, Tammy played with her toy keys. She then glanced up at Wendy, watching her put away the eyeshadow. She then picked up her new lipstick and began applying it. Tammy watched her with a smile on her face.
Tammy dropped the keys, more interested in Wendy than her toys. Wendy smiled as she sat the lipstick down.
Wendy then said, "Oooh! This shade is perfect!"
As she adjusted her bow, she glanced out of the corner or her eye and raised an eyebrow. When she turned to look at Tammy, she noticed that her niece was reaching for her own bow. Wendy smirked at her as she stood up.
"Oh, you like copying me, huh?" Wendy said teasingly as she picked Tammy up. "Trying to be like Aunt Wendy, huh?"
Wendy blew a kiss at their reflections. Tammy giggled and copied her, blowing a kiss also. Wendy then paused.
"...Or maybe just trying to be like... someone. Anyone who looks confident."
Wendy looked at Tammy, her smile softening. Seeing how Tammy mirrored her made Wendy think.
"Wow. I must have a big influence on Tammy if she's copying what I do."
Tammy tried to grab Wendy's lipstick, but Wendy stopped her.
"You can't wear this yet, cutie." Wendy chuckled.
As Wendy adjusted Tammy's bow, she began to think back to when she was younger. She used to be so unsure of herself and wondered if she was enough. Those days were so hard for her at times. Especially during school days. Tiana also had issues with her confidence, even before she dated her ex boyfriend, Drake.
One day, after having a long talk with her mother and aunt, everything changed for Wendy. She smiled as she watched Tammy look at her reflection again.
Wendy then said to her, "You see someone powerful in there, huh? Good. Keep that feeling."
Later on, Tammy slept on Wendy's bed as she picked up her toys and sat them on her dresser until Iggy returned. She walked over to Tammy when she was finished and smiled at her. She was so adorable. Especially when she tried to copy her earlier. Hopefully she'll be just as confident as Wendy one day.
Wait.
Wendy got an idea. She sat at her desk and pulled out a notebook. She picked up a pen and started writing a letter for future Tammy.
"Dear Tammy,
You probably won't remember this, but when you were little, you loved copying me and you loved mirrors. You saw someone beautiful, fierce, and smart. I hope you still do."
Wendy looked back over at Tammy, who was still sleeping. She then returned to writing.
"Today you saw me in the mirror. One day you'll see yourself. I hope you don't flinch. I hope you don't doubt yourself. I hope you smile and say: 'I'm good enough.'"
When she was finished, Wendy ripped the page out and grabbed an envelope out of a drawer. Smiling, she placed the letter inside and wrote on it. She then walked over to Tammy and kissed her forehead.
"You'll know what to do when you're older. And when you forget? I'll remind you."
Iggy left his room, finally finished his homework. He walked down the hall until he was in front of Wendy's door. He knocked on it, waiting for her to open it. When she did, he saw Tammy sitting on her bed, playing with her toys that Wendy gave back to her.
"Thanks again for watching her." Iggy said. "I just wish it didn't take me so long..."
"It's fine. Tammy and I had a great time!" Wendy replied.
Iggy walked inside the room and grabbed Tammy's toys, placing them inside of his shell. He then picked up his daughter, giving her a kiss on the cheek. As he started heading toward the door, Wendy stopped him.
"Wait. I have something to give you." Wendy reached inside of her shell and handed her older brother the letter.
Iggy looked at it. He saw Wendy's emblem on one side and on the back of it it said "To Tammy."
"What is it?" Iggy asked her.
Wendy smiled. "Something I want Tammy to read when she's a little older. I know it'll help her if she ever has issues with her confidence." She gently patted Tammy on the head. "Keep it in a safe place. Somewhere where you won't forget it, ok?"
Iggy nodded. "I will. Thanks again."
Wendy and Tammy looked at each other as Iggy walked out of Wendy's room. Once Wendy closed her door, she smiled again.
"Tammy's gonna be alright. I know she will."
I really hope this story was alright ^^; I'll see you guys tomorrow for Iggy Day :D
Iggy Day: Holding On
Hi! It's Iggy Day, so here's a story about him and his daughter :D
Disclaimer: I only own Tammy and Tiana
Iggy hopped inside of his Clown Car and flew away from the castle. His girlfriend Tiana called him, coughing a few times as she talked, asking him to come to her house. After a few minutes, he arrived in Koopa Valley, a town close by to Bowser's castle. A short while later, Iggy landed his Clown Car in front of a blue house with a gray-colored roof. He exited the Clown Car and made his way to the door.
Iggy knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it. However, he didn't have to wait long. Tiana opened the door, holding their daughter Tammy in her arms. Iggy smiled, but it vanished when he got a good look at his girlfriend. She was wearing a face mask that covered her nose and mouth, and she looked extremely tired.
"Hey, sweetie..." Tiana greeted him after coughing.
"Are you feeling ok, Tia?" Iggy placed a hand on her forehead and gasped. "You're really warm!"
Iggy then placed his hand on Tammy's forehead. Fortunately, she was fine.
Tiana looked at him and said, "One of my cousins has a cold." She coughed again. "And now we're all sick. Can you guys take care of Tammy for a week? I'm sure we'll be fine by then. At least I hope so."
Iggy nodded. "Of course, Tiana."
Tiana handed their daughter to Iggy. Tammy looked up at Iggy and cooed, making him smile. He looked back at Tiana, doing his best to stop Tammy from grabbing his glasses.
"Try to get some rest, Tia. You should drink some tea too."
Iggy couldn't see it, but he smirked, knowing that Tiana was scrunching up her nose.
"Ew! That tea my parents drink is disgusting! And we ran out of the iced tea drink mix that I like!"
Iggy laughed. "Come on. It'll help you feel better."
"I'll stick to eating soup and drinking cocoa." Tiana replied. "If I drink that nasty tea, I must be desperate."
Iggy chuckled. "Alright. Well, we should get going now. I'll check on you later."
Tiana nodded. "Ok."
After saying goodbye, Tiana watched as Iggy and Tammy got inside of the Clown Car and flew away.
Once Iggy and Tammy made it to the castle, Iggy went to his parents to explain the situation to them. They agreed, happy to see their granddaughter again. Iggy then took Tammy to the game room, where he found the rest of his siblings. Larry was playing a video game with Roy, Morton, and Lemmy, Bowser Jr. was drawing, Ludwig was writing a new song, and Wendy was almost finished applying nail polish. They looked over at the door when they heard Tammy squeal. Lemmy was the first to rush over to Iggy, a huge grin on his face.
"Tammy! What are you doing here?" He asked.
Tammy let out another squeal, reaching for Lemmy. Iggy handed her to his older, but shorter brother and replied, "Tia and her family are sick, so she asked if we could take care of Tammy this week."
"Oh no! Is Tammy sick too?" Wendy asked as she put her nail polish in her shell.
Iggy shook his head. "No, Tammy's fine."
Wendy smiled in relief. "Well that's good."
Then, out of nowhere, Tammy started to cry.
"Tammy, what's the matter?" Lemmy asked as he gently bounced her.
"Is she hungry?" Wendy wondered.
Iggy glanced at the clock on the wall. "I don't think so. Tia fed her already."
"It's ok, Tammy. Please don't cry." Lemmy said to her.
Roy sniffed and covered his nose. "Yuck! What's that smell?"
Everyone sniffed the air and covered their noses also. Iggy looked down at Tammy.
"I guess we know why she's upset."
After Lemmy handed Tammy back to Iggy, he and Tammy left the game room.
"There! All better!" Iggy said as he picked up Tammy.
Iggy walked over to the door and out of the nursery. Tammy tried to grab his glasses again, but Iggy stopped her.
"You really like our glasses, huh?" Iggy chuckled.
Iggy went to his room and pushed open the door. When he was inside, he sat on his bed and leaned back against the headboard. Iggy smiled as they stared at each other. He gently rubbed her green hair.
"You look just like your mother and I." Iggy whispered. He gave Tammy a kiss on her cheek. "You and I are going to have a great time together this week!"
The following day was pretty peaceful. Tammy did cry a few times, but Clawdia, Iggy's mother, was able to help Iggy calm her down. The others also took turns watching Tammy while Iggy finished his homework and went to his lab for a break. That night, Iggy stayed up a bit later than usual. Tammy wouldn't go to sleep, wanting to play more. Iggy tried to maintain his composure despite his slight annoyance.
The next morning, Iggy was woken up by a loud knock on his door. He put on his glasses and got out of bed, walking over to the door. When he opened it, he saw Roy on the other side, holding Tammy.
"Roy?" Iggy yawned. "What's wrong? Is Tammy alright?"
"You didn't hear her screaming just now?" Roy asked.
Iggy yawned once more. "No... I guess I was too exhausted. She kept me up last night."
Roy handed Tammy to Iggy. "I dunno how, but I got her to calm down." He turned around. "Everyone's in the dining hall eating breakfast. Then, we're leaving."
"Oh ok." Iggy said. After three seconds, he realized what his older brother said. "Wait... what?"
Iggy hurried over to the dining hall where the rest of his family were eating breakfast.
"Guys, what's going on? Where are we going?" He asked.
"Most of us are racing today!" Bowser Jr. said.
Lemmy added, "Everyone's heading to Mario Circuit after breakfast. Aunt Clawdeen and the others already left."
Iggy gasped. "I forgot the kart tournament was today!" He looked down at Tammy. "Tammy's too little for loud crowds."
"Well," Clawdia spoke up. "I can stay behind and watch her."
Iggy considered it for a moment. He wanted to go with everyone and cheer on his family. He definitely wanted to see one of them beat Mario and Luigi in the tournament. He looked at Tammy, who was looking up at him. He shook his head and sat with the others.
"No. You guys can go without me."
"Are you sure?" Clawdia asked him.
Iggy nodded. "Tammy's my responsibility. I can take care of her. Besides, I can still watch you guys race on tv." He picked up the bottle next to his food and started to feed his daughter.
"Well, alright, Iggy. Kamek will be in his room, so if you need anything, just ask him." Clawdia replied.
Iggy smiled. "Ok. But I'm sure I'll be fine."
Once everyone finished their breakfast, Iggy watched his family leave. When they were out of sight, he turned and walked back inside the castle.
"Alright, Tammy! Why don't we go to the nursery?" Iggy asked. Tammy gurgled in response.
Iggy made his way to the nursery. When he got there, he saw a few of Tammy's toys still on the floor from last night.
"Oh right. I forgot to put them away."
Iggy sat Tammy on the floor in front of the toys and watched as she picked up her toy keys. He then heard his phone ring. When he took it out of his shell, he saw that Tiana was calling him. He smiled as he answered the call and then pressed the speaker button.
"Hi, Tiana!" Iggy greeted her.
"Hi, Iggy! What are you up to?"
Iggy replied, "Watching Tammy play with her toys. What about you?"
Tiana groaned. "Making tea..."
Tiana rolled her eyes as she heard Iggy laughing.
"So, you got desperate, huh?" Iggy asked, still laughing.
Tiana sighed. "Yeah... anyways, what's everyone else doing?"
Iggy explained, "There's a kart tournament going on right now. Most of them are racing in it today and the others are watching. I forgot it was today."
Iggy snorted, hearing Tiana make a disgusted sound.
"Bleh! How does anyone drink this mess!?"
"It'll help your throat, Tia." Iggy said, giggling.
After taking another sip (and making more disgusted noises), Tiana thought of something. "Hold on. So, besides the servants, you and Tammy are by yourselves?"
"Nah. Kamek's in his room. I think he's practicing his magic or something." Iggy replied.
"Are you sure you're going to be alright? I mean, I was alone with Tammy once and I got a little overwhelmed." Tiana said.
"Don't worry, Tia. I'll be fine. I can ask Kamek for help if I need it, but I doubt I will." Iggy replied.
"Alright. Well, I guess I'll force this tea down and let you go."
Iggy chuckled. "Alright. Bye, Tiana!"
After hanging up, Iggy put his phone away and looked down at Tammy. She stared at him, scrunching up her nose.
"Tammy? What's wrong?" Iggy asked.
Then, Tammy burst into tears. Iggy quickly picked her up and walked around the room, trying to calm her down.
"Shh. It's ok, Tammy." Iggy said to her.
Unfortunately, she continued to cry. Iggy then picked up her pink rattle and began to shake it.
"Look, Tammy!" Iggy said as he shook the toy. Tammy stopped crying and stared at it.
Iggy gave the toy to her and watched as she shook the rattle a little, no longer crying.
"There. Everything's fine." Iggy smiled. Tammy then hit him with the rattle, giggling.
Iggy put Tammy down for a nap a few minutes later. Since she was asleep, he decided to go to the lab to work on a new project. He grinned as he entered and saw some of his and Ludwig's completed creations. Some still worked, like their Time Machine and Mechakoopas. Others were completely broken, like Ludwig's robot version of Princess Peach and their Power Crystals. Ludwig used to make a lot of inventions to help Bowser take over the Mushroom Kingdom when he was younger, but like the robot princess, they would always break.
Last night, Iggy got a new idea. As he tried to fall asleep, he imagined everyone with Koopa Mech Suits, giant mechanical exosuits styled after each Koopa's powers. He sat at the desk, grabbed his notebook and pencil, and began to brainstorm ideas.
"They'd definitely need to protect us from fireballs and other elements... Hover-Jump Boosters would be good." Iggy began to write faster. "Ludwig's could have a Sound Wave Cannon!" Iggy giggled. "Lemmy's could even be circus-themed!"
As Iggy jotted down more ideas, a guard entered the lab.
"Your Highness?" The guard called out to him.
Iggy stopped writing and turned toward the door. "What is it?"
"The princess is awake. One of the maids is trying to soothe her, but she won't stop crying." The guard replied.
Iggy sighed and sat the pencil down. "Alright."
He stood from his seat and left the lab. After a minute, he made it to the nursery where he found a female Boom Boom rocking Tammy, trying to calm her down. The maid sighed in relief as she saw Iggy enter. She handed Tammy to him and returned to her duties after Iggy thanked her. Iggy frowned as he glanced at Tammy.
"What's wrong, Tammy? Did you have a bad dream or something?" Iggy asked as he gently bounced her. Iggy pulled out his phone and looked at the time. "It's lunchtime already? Maybe that's why you're crying."
Iggy and Tammy left the nursery and headed to the kitchen. As he held Tammy, he grabbed a bottle and then the milk out of the fridge. He poured some milk in it and then put the milk away. Then, as he went to grab the bottle, Iggy accidentally knocked it over, spilling milk everywhere. Seeing the spilled milk made Tammy cry even more.
Iggy laughed nervously. "Ok. That's fine. Totally fine!" Iggy grabbed some paper towels and cleaned up the mess. "I can do this!"
After throwing away the paper towels, Iggy took out the milk and poured more in Tammy's bottle. Making sure that he didn't spill the milk again, he heated it up.
Iggy went to the living room and sat on the couch. He turned on the tv and flipped through the channels until he found the tournament on the new Mario Kart channel, Mario Kart TV. He smiled and placed the remote next to him.
"Look, Tammy! Everyone's on tv!" Iggy said.
Tammy glanced at the tv as she drank her milk, seeing Lemmy, Wendy, Junior, and Roy on their karts and bikes waiting for the next race to start. She then looked back at Iggy, who watched the tournament.
Thirty minutes later after eating, Tammy started crying again. Iggy sighed and rocked her. He stood up and walked around the living room, hoping she'd stop crying. As he walked, his foot slammed into the coffee table really hard. Iggy closed his eyes, holding back a scream. He took a deep breath as the pain slowly went away.
"Ok Iggy, if you can handle two plumbers, you can handle a baby."
"Tammy..." Iggy sighed as he picked up his crying baby. "What's the matter now?"
Realizing what was wrong, Iggy took her to the nursery. He walked over to the changing area and changed her diaper. Tammy, sadly, continued to cry.
"That wasn't it? You shouldn't be hungry. I just fed you!" Iggy held her and paced around the nursery, hoping she'd calm down.
However, Tammy was still upset and cried even louder. Iggy walked out of the nursery and down the hall.
"Everything's fine. Everything's fine." He said to Tammy and himself.
Eventually, Iggy arrived in his room. He paced back and forth and his arms trembled, still bouncing his wailing daughter. His head throbbed from the sound of her cries, and the weight of responsibility pressed down harder with every passing minute.
"Please... please just stop crying..." Iggy mumbled, pacing around his room.
Tammy wailed louder.
"Tammy, SHUT UP!" He snapped, louder than he meant.
The moment the words left his mouth, the room went silent. Tammy still cried, but quieter. Iggy sat her on his bed and knelt down in front of her, his eyes wide. He thought back to what Tiana said to him months ago before Tammy was born.
"If you ever get overwhelmed, please don't yell at our baby or tell them to shut up. I hate when people do that to babies when they cry."
Iggy stared at his red-faced, teary-eyed baby. "I..."
Tears formed in Iggy's eyes. "I didn't mean that." He whispered. "I'm sorry," he said, choking on his words. "I'm sorry, Tammy. I didn't mean it, I just— I'm trying my best."
The tears finally fell down Iggy's face. "I-I thought I could do this without asking for help. I... I just..." Iggy buried his face in his arms as he sobbed.
Then, Iggy felt tiny fingers wrap around his shaking thumb. When he lifted his head, his eyes met Tammy's. A soft gurgle escaped her lips. Iggy took off his glasses and wiped his eyes.
"You forgive me?" He asked. He chuckled as she grabbed his nose. "I'll take that as a yes." He slowly stood and picked up Tammy. "I think I'll ask Kamek to watch you for a bit. I could use a nap."
Iggy gave Tammy a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "We're fine now. Everything's fine."
After that, he and Tammy went to Kamek's room.
I hope this story was ok. I'll see you all tomorrow!
Roy Day: Muscle Baby Bootcamp
Hi! I hope you all like this one!
Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!
Roy was in his room lifting weights when he heard the sound of a baby screaming. Putting down his dumbbells, he adjusted his sunglasses and left his room. He nearly bumped into his younger brother Iggy and his girlfriend Tiana as he was making his way to the nursery down the hall.
"Roy? What are you doing here?" Iggy asked.
Roy rolled his eyes. "I heard the kid screaming. I was gonna check on her."
Tiana and Iggy entered the nursery when Iggy opened the door. Tiana went over to the crib and gently picked up their daughter.
"Shh, it's alright, honey." Tiana said softly as she rocked Tammy.
Roy watched as Iggy walked over to them and helped Tiana calm down their daughter. Another minute went by before Tammy finally relaxed.
"Well, I guess Tammy and I will see you guys tomorrow."
Iggy kissed Tammy's forehead. "Alright."
After sharing a quick kiss with Iggy, Tiana said goodbye and walked out of the nursery with Tammy in her arms. Roy and Iggy then left the nursery and started walking back to their rooms. Then, Roy whirled around and called out to Iggy.
"Hey, Iggster! I wanna spend some time with the kid tomorrow."
Iggy turned around to face his older brother. "Really? Why?"
With a raised eyebrow, Roy replied, "What? I can't hang out with my niece?"
Iggy laughed. "Of course you can. I just didn't expect you to say that." Iggy adjusted his glasses. "Now that I think about it, aren't you supposed to be hanging out with Kacey tomorrow?"
"Eh, she's coming over later tomorrow. I've got plenty of time to spend with Tammy."
Iggy smiled. "Well, alright." He giggled. "I guess Tia and I will get a break then!"
Roy stood with his arms crossed, chin raised, and his trademark pink sunglasses gleaming. He was currently in the nursery, which had been transformed—at least in Roy's mind—into a tactical training ground. On the blue foam mat before him sat his "recruit", Iggy's tiny, wide-eyed baby girl wearing a pink onesie, kicking her legs and blowing spit bubbles.
"Alright, squirt," Roy said, pacing like a drill sergeant. "Today's the day you start your training. I want my niece to be tough like her uncle and grandpa! Not screaming and crying all day! That means strength, power, and..."
Tammy sneezed.
"...Bless you," Roy grumbled, then coughed into his fist. "I mean—NO MERCY!"
The Koopaling gestured grandly at the layout: pillow mountains, a tunnel made of cardboard boxes, small plush toys, and Tammy's toy dumbbells.
Roy grinned. "Operation: Muscle Baby Bootcamp is on!"
Roy knelt beside the mat. "Alright! Let's see you roll, little soldier! And... go!"
Tammy giggled and wobbled onto her side, clutching her toes. She promptly fell backwards and squealed in delight.
Roy smirked and nodded. "Tactical fallback. I like that!"
"Now this..." Roy lifted Tammy and sat her gently on the plush mat. "It's time for ya to STOMP!"
Tammy blinked at her uncle, then collapsed forward onto the mat with a soft "poof". Roy froze for a moment.
"T-Tammy...?!"
Then, Tammy rolled over and giggled after letting out a burp.
He let out a breath of relief. "Nice job."
It was now time for the cardboard obstacle tunnel. Tammy looked at Roy as he knelt down next to her and adjusted the boxes.
"Once I'm finished, it's back to your training!"
Then, Tammy reached out, grabbed Roy's sunglasses, and gummed one of the lenses.
"Hey! Those ain't yours, kid!" Roy reached for his sunglasses, but then paused.
Tammy squealed, sliding the sunglasses onto her face upside-down.
Roy stared at her, then smirked. "Heh. Ya got style. Must've learned from me."
He pulled out his phone and took a picture. After sending it to Iggy, he put his phone back inside of his shell and began the obstacle course.
Iggy and Tiana were leaving the kitchen and making their way to the nursery. As they walked up the stairs, they heard someone calling out to them.
"Hey guys!" The young couple turned around and smiled, seeing Roy's girlfriend Kacey behind them, carrying the Koopa family's white pet rabbit, Pookie.
"Hi Kacey! I didn't know you had Pookie with you." Tiana replied.
Kacey giggled and gave Pookie a hug. "I asked Roy if I could watch him yesterday. Pookie's so cute and sweet!" Kacey looked up at them. "Where is Roy anyways?"
"Oh, he's watching Tammy for us." Iggy smiled and pulled out his phone, showing Kacey the picture. "He sent me this photo three minutes ago."
Kacey smiled also. "Awww she's so adorable!"
Tiana then said, "We were actually on our way to the nursery. You can come with us if you'd like."
After giving a nod, Kacey followed the two Koopas upstairs. They passed several doors before arriving at the nursery door. Iggy opened the door and the three peeked inside. Roy was currently sitting on the floor, teaching Tammy how to use dumbbells. Unfortunately, his niece giggled and hit Roy with the toy. Iggy and Kacey smiled at them while Tiana held back a laugh as she took a photo.
Eventually, Iggy made their presence known. "Roy? What are you guys doing?"
Roy replied without turning around, "Strength training. She's a natural!"
Iggy blinked. "Strength training? She's four months old."
Roy turned around to face them. "Exactly! Prime training window." Roy patted Tammy on her shell. "She'll be stomping Toads and plumbers before she can talk!"
Iggy snorted. "I'll be lucky if she eats mashed peas before then."
"Speaking of, I hate to end your training session, but it's lunchtime."
Tiana gently picked up Tammy and followed Iggy out of the nursery. Once they left, Kacey and Pookie sat next to Roy.
"You're so sweet and gentle with her." Kacey said, smiling.
Roy blushed slightly. "I uh..."
Kacey chuckled. "I told everyone you can be a good person! Now you just need to be more kind and gentle to Pookie here."
Roy playfully rolled his eyes at the human girl next to him. He ran his fingers through her long black hair and replied, "I'll try, babe. Just for you."
Roy and Kacey stood and made their way to his room. After entering his room and placing Pookie back inside of his cage, Kacey looked at Roy.
"By the way, Tiana took a picture of you playing with Tammy."
Roy's eyes widened. "She WHAT!?"
Later on while Kacey went to get them some snacks and Iggy and Tiana were in the lab, Roy left his room and entered the nursery. He walked over to the crib to find his niece fast asleep. He smiled and, making sure no one was watching, he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"You did good today, rookie." He whispered. "Nap time earned." He smirked to himself. "I'm still gonna get your mom back for taking that picture of us."
Roy gave Tammy one last glance before quietly leaving the nursery.
I hope this story was alright. Next up is Lemmy Day :D
Lemmy Day: Lemmy the Babysitter Remake
It's finally Lemmy Day! This story is a remake of the last version from Koopa Week last year. I wanted to make some changes to it. Well, I hope you all like this one! This is probably set a day after Iggy's story
Disclaimer: I only own my FCs!
Lemmy made goofy expressions at Tammy, the daughter of Iggy and Tiana, making the baby laugh. Lemmy enjoyed playing with his niece and he loved spending time with her. Lemmy had more time to play with Tammy since Tiana and her family were currently sick. As he made the little Koopa girl laugh, Kamek flew into the room.
"There you are, Prince Lemmy! Lord Bowser wants all of you in the throne room right away!" Kamek said.
"Oh ok!" Lemmy stood up and then picked up Tammy. "Come on, Tammy! Let's go see what Grandpa wants."
Lemmy and Tammy made their way to the throne room, where Bowser and the rest of his siblings were waiting.
"Great, everyone is here! Are you guys ready?" Bowser said.
The Koopalings blinked.
"Ready for what, Daddy?" Wendy asked.
"You guys don't remember?" Bowser Jr. asked. "We're going to attack the Waffle Kingdom! Mom left a few minutes ago."
Iggy let out a gasp. "That was today?!"
"How the heck did we forget?" Roy wondered.
"Yeah! So hurry up! Let's go!" Bowser stated as he stepped down from his throne.
"Wait! What about Tammy?" Iggy asked.
Bowser froze, looking at his granddaughter in Lemmy's arms. "Oh right. I forgot she was staying with us."
"What are we gonna do? We can't bring her along, Mom's probably halfway to the Waffle Kingdom, and Tia's sick." Iggy said.
"Hmm," Bowser thought about it. "I guess one of you kids will have to stay here and watch her."
The kids gasped and raised their hands. "Me! Me! Me!"
"You all can't stay here." Bowser then looked at Larry and Bowser Jr. "Besides, it's gotta be one of the older kids."
"Oooh! Oooh! I can do it!" Lemmy cheered.
Iggy looked at him and asked, "Really?"
"Yeah! I can watch this little cutie for a bit." Lemmy replied and planted a kiss on Tammy's cheek, making her giggle.
"You know you actually have to take care of her, right Lemmy? Not just play with her." said Ludwig.
Lemmy scoffed. "Obviously, Lud! I'll be the best babysitter ever!"
"Well... I guess Lemmy can watch her." Iggy said.
"...Alright. Lemmy, you stay here and keep an eye on Tamira. The rest of us will go to the Waffle Kingdom." Bowser ordered.
"Ok!" Lemmy replied.
As the others walked out of the throne room, Iggy approached Lemmy and Tammy.
"Everything you need is in the nursery. There's also an empty bottle in my room if she gets hungry." He said.
Lemmy nodded. "Ok!"
"If you need me, just call and I'll be back here ASAP!" Iggy said.
"Alright, Iggy. Go on with the others. We'll be fine." Lemmy smiled.
"Ok." Iggy kissed Tammy's forehead, said goodbye, and walked out of the throne room.
Lemmy grinned. "Well Tammy, it's just you and me!"
Tammy scrunched up her face as she stared where Iggy stood.
"Huh? Are you making silly faces too?" Lemmy asked.
Then, Tammy started to cry.
"Oh no! Don't cry, Tammy! It's ok!" Lemmy said as he bounced her gently.
Unfortunately, Tammy continued to cry.
"Aw, Tammy. Iggy will be back soon!" Lemmy looked at her. "Hey, I know! I bet you're hungry! It's almost lunchtime too!"
Lemmy took Tammy to Iggy's room and found the empty bottle. He picked it up, took Tammy to the kitchen, and asked one of the chefs to fill the bottle with milk. Once the bottle was filled and warmed up, Lemmy and Tammy went to Lemmy's room and he began to feed her as he sat on his bed.
"There ya go! Everything's fine!" Lemmy smiled at her.
Once Tammy finished drinking her milk, Lemmy sat the bottle down on his nightstand.
"Feeling better, Tammy?" Lemmy asked her.
Tammy yawned in response.
"Oh. You must be sleepy." Tammy yawned again as Lemmy gently rocked her.
Tammy finally dozed off after a few minutes. Lemmy smiled warmly and laid her down next to him. Then his stomach rumbled.
"I should go make a sandwich." Lemmy climbed out of bed, turned to face Tammy, and then made his way back to the kitchen.
Lemmy finished his lunch and headed back to his room. He saw that Tammy was still asleep, so he wasn't entirely sure what to do.
"Maybe I can watch tv." He muttered.
Lemmy reached for his remote and switched on the tv. Unfortunately, he didn't realize how loud the tv was, which caused Tammy to wake up. Lemmy hurriedly lowered the volume and scooped up Tammy, who was crying once more.
"Oh no! I'm sorry, Tam! I didn't mean to scare you." Lemmy said, frantically trying to soothe his niece.
Lemmy relaxed as Tammy finally stopped crying. He grinned at her and gave Tammy a hug.
"How about we watch a funny cartoon?" He suggested. Tammy clapped in response.
With a chuckle, Lemmy flipped through the channels until he found a cartoon for them to watch.
Lemmy and Tammy had fun for a few hours. Lemmy enjoyed watching her, however, he was a little grossed out when he had to change her diaper. He took her to the game room where a few of her toys were left. As he watched his niece play with a stuffed bear, he heard footsteps outside of the room, along with a loud, familiar voice.
"Ugh... we were so close!" Bowser groaned.
"Oh! Everyone's back!" Lemmy said. He picked up Tammy and made his way to the throne room. When he got there, he greeted them. "Hey guys! I guess you all lost, huh?"
"Yeah," Larry replied. "The stupid Mario Bros. found out we were there and came to fight us..."
When Tammy saw Iggy, she cooed and reached for him.
"You didn't have any trouble with Tammy?" Iggy asked as Lemmy handed Tammy to him.
"Nope! We had a great time!" Lemmy grinned.
"Wow!" Iggy chuckled. "I guess you did a great job, Lems!"
Wendy then said, "Maybe Lemmy can be Tammy's babysitter from now on."
"Really?" Lemmy asked.
"Yeah! I bet Tammy would like that." Iggy replied.
Lemmy yawned. "That does sound fun. But, now that you guys are back, I think I'm gonna take a nap."
Tammy giggled as she watched Lemmy head to his room.
That's it for now! I'll post the next chapter/story tomorrow!
Ludwig Day: The Music Box
Hello! Here's the next story! I hope you all like it!
Disclaimer: I only own my FCs
Ludwig rolled his eyes as he walked through Koopa Valley. Both outside and inside the store he left, a few citizens gazed at him in either shock or amusement. Was it so weird for a Koopa to have a baby strapped to his chest? Is it because he's usually seen as serious? Honestly, everyone should just mind their own business!
Ludwig wanted to give Iggy and Tiana a break and spend some time with his precious little niece. Speaking of his niece, Ludwig looked down at Tammy and smiled, seeing and hearing her giggle.
"Having a good time, Tamira?" He asked her. Tammy gurgled in response.
Ludwig chuckled and looked back at the store he had just left. He then looked down at Tammy and said, "I'm working on something for you. I hope you like it."
The two soon made their way back to the castle. Ludwig made his way to the living room and sat Tammy on the couch. After removing the baby carrier, Ludwig sat it on the floor and picked up Tammy. He sat down on the couch and looked at her sitting on his lap. Tammy smiled at him, making Ludwig's heart melt.
This was still so crazy to him. He and the rest of his siblings were an aunt and uncles now. Iggy was a father. His parents were now grandparents. Ludwig brought Tammy closer to him and gave her a kiss on the cheek, making the baby Koopa squeal.
Ludwig stood up and said, "Why don't we go to the ballroom and I'll play some of my songs for you."
Tammy reached up and grabbed a fistful of Ludwig's hair in response, tugging it and making him wince.
Ludwig sat in front of the piano, playing one of his newer songs. This particular song was one that Tammy seemed to love. He noticed that she liked a few of his songs. Sometimes when he played, she didn't react much. When he played other pieces, Tammy would smile and clap her hands. He glanced down at her, seeing her clapping.
After a minute, he finished playing the song. Tammy looked up at her uncle, smiling.
"You love this piece, huh?" He asked.
Tammy giggled and looked at the piano keys. Her smile widening, she began to hit the keys. As Ludwig chuckled and watched her, Iggy and Tiana entered the ballroom.
"I should've known we'd find you guys in here." Iggy said as he and his girlfriend walked closer to them.
Tiana smiled at their daughter and then said, "Thanks again for watching her, Ludwig."
"It's no problem." Ludwig handed Tammy to Tiana. "Tammy and I had a great time."
Tammy giggled, reaching out for Ludwig's fluffy blue hair.
Iggy chuckled. "I see. Well, I think it's time for Tammy's nap." Iggy gave his daughter a hug. "You can hang out with Uncle Ludwig later."
Ludwig and the others laughed at Tammy's pouty expression. Then, everyone left the ballroom. While Iggy and Tiana took Tammy to the nursery, Ludwig made his way to his and Iggy's lab.
Ludwig stayed in the lab for the remainder of the day, working on a gift for Tammy. Ever since she hatched, he's wanted to make something for her, but he's never had the time. After seeing how much Tammy loved his music, he finally got an idea. With a sigh, he put down his screwdriver and was finally finished. Ludwig looked down at his gift and smiled.
"It's finished. The music box is finished."
Ludwig made a round, purple and green music box. The inside had a little Koopa Troopa ballerina that spun around as it played. Ludwig carefully picked up the music box and made his way out of the lab. He paused, turned to face the wall-mounted clock, and let out a gasp.
"Whoa! I didn't realize how late it's gotten! I didn't even have dinner yet!"
Ludwig left the lab and walked through the corridors. As he made his way to the nursery, he heard the sound of his niece screaming and crying. Ludwig opened the door and walked inside, seeing Iggy and Tiana trying their best to calm Tammy down.
"Come on, Tammy. You gotta go to sleep!" Tiana sighed as she gently rocked her daughter.
"Your mom has to head home soon." Iggy added, shaking her rattle, hoping it would get her to stop.
Ludwig approached them. "How long has she been crying?"
"Too long!" Iggy and Tiana said in unison.
Ludwig frowned as he watched their frantic attempts to soothe Tammy. Then, he smiled, remembering what he had in his hand.
"I think I can help."
Ludwig showed them the music box. After winding up the key, the little ballerina turned as a melody played. Tammy eventually stopped crying and stared at the music box.
"It worked! Did you make that?" Iggy asked him.
Ludwig nodded. "I've been working on it for some time now."
Tiana smiled and replied, "It's beautiful. Isn't this song one of your recent works?"
Ludwig smiled. "Yes. It's one of Tammy's favorites."
Tammy clapped as she watched the ballerina spin. She yawned, and eventually fell asleep. Tiana placed Tammy in her crib and sighed.
"Thanks again, Ludwig." Tiana watched as Ludwig placed the music box on the dresser. "The music box will be well taken care of."
"Yeah." Iggy replied. "I think it should be a treasured family heirloom."
Iggy and Tiana then left the nursery and made their way to the front of the castle. Ludwig glanced back at Tammy one more time as she slept. Smiling, he walked out and closed the door, still hearing the lovely melody of the music box.
Not sure how I feel about this one. There's one more story!
Bowser Jr Day: Kart Battles
The final story! I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: Only own my FCs!
Bowser Jr. grumbled as he stared out of the window. It began to rain an hour ago in the Koopa Kingdom, which meant that he and his younger cousin Talisa couldn't play outside. His family was visiting today, so they should be doing something fun outside! Not being stuck in the castle! Junior watched as more raindrops fell and turned away from the window.
"This is stupid..." He walked away from the window and made his way to his room.
While walking down the hallway, Junior stopped as he heard voices coming from a few doors down. Curious, he walked closer until he arrived at the nursery. He peeked his head inside to see his older brother Iggy sitting his daughter Tammy on the floor in between two of their cousins, Sharon and Talisa. Talisa watched as Tammy picked up her rattle and shook it. Bowser Jr. then came into the nursery and approached them.
"What are you all up to?" He asked Talisa.
Talisa smiled. "Sherry and I wanted to see Tammy."
"She just woke up from her nap." Sharon added.
Junior knelt down and smiled as Tammy looked up at him.
Talisa then sighed. "I wish we could play outside. I wanted to show Tammy the new bubbles that I got."
Junior scowled. "I wanted to play a game outside. Why did it have to rain?!"
Sharon moved some of her long locs out of her face. "I'm sure it'll stop soon. I wanted to race at Grumble Volcano." She gave them a smile. "But I don't mind waiting."
Junior chuckled as Tammy grabbed his finger. Then, he gasped.
"Racing! That's it!" He grinned. "Let's have a race!"
The others blinked.
"Uh, Junior? It's still raining. We just talked about it." Talisa said.
Junior shook his head. "Not outside. In the castle!"
"Eh, that'd be nice, but Kamek isn't here to transform the castle into a race track. He and Kammy are on vacation, remember?" Iggy said. "Plus, the loud engines might scare Tammy."
Bowser Jr. scowled once more. "Oh. Yeah, you're right."
This was going to be a very boring day! They can't go outside, they can't race each other! Junior sighed and stared at the floor. If the rain didn't stop soon, he'd lose his mind! He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Tammy cooing as she grabbed his finger again. As he looked at his niece, Junior slowly got an idea.
"Wait... Iggy, do we have empty boxes anywhere?"
"Uh, probably in a closet. Why?" Iggy wondered.
Junior got to his feet and smiled. "We can't race with our normal karts and bikes, or change the castle into a track." Bowser Jr. picked up Tammy. "But, what if we use a box and put Tammy inside it? She can race against my old remote control car!"
Talisa smiled, her eyes glittering. "That sounds like so much fun! Let's do that!"
Junior handed Tammy to Iggy and rushed out of the nursery. Talisa giggled and quickly followed behind him.
"And... finished!" Junior said as he sat down a yellow crayon. After finding a box, he and Talisa took it to his room to decorate.
He decided to draw flames on the sides. Talisa added a few hearts, much to Junior's annoyance. The box was supposed to look cool, not cute! After putting the crayons away and grabbing his RC car and a pillow, he pushed the box out of his room and the two cousins made their way back to the nursery. When they walked inside the room, Sharon smiled.
"Wow! You guys actually did it!"
"Yep!" Junior placed the pillow inside of the box and Sharon put Tammy inside, leaning her against the pillow.
Iggy smiled as Tammy giggled and clapped her hands. Then, he realized something. "Wait a second."
Junior blinked. "Huh?"
Iggy gestured towards the box. "The box doesn't have wheels."
"Oh yeah. You guys forgot to make wheels." Sharon said.
Talisa and Junior stood for a minute. Then, Junior slapped himself in the face.
"How did we forget...?" He groaned.
Just great. Now what could they do? Talisa then spoke up.
"I got an idea. I can use Junior's toy car and he can use someone's wand to make the box float and move!"
Bowser Jr. grinned. "That's a great idea, Tali!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Iggy stepped forward. "You're not gonna float my daughter in the air! What if Tammy gets hurt?"
Talisa rolled her eyes. "She's not gonna be in the air, pineapple head. Just a little off the ground."
"Yeah!" Junior added, "Plus, I'm not gonna make her go super fast! She'll be at the same speed as the toy!"
Iggy hesitated, but sighed and finally said, "...Fine. But I'm gonna follow next to the cardboard kart, just in case."
Giggling, Talisa and Junior left the nursery again and dashed through the halls.
A few minutes passed and the halls of the castle were filled with Bowser and his family, along with a few servants. Bowser Jr., Talisa, and Iggy stood near the door to the nursery, with Tammy inside of her cardboard kart. Next to the kart was Junior's old red RC car, which Talisa had the controller for in her hands. Tammy squealed and waved her little arms.
Once Junior took Iggy's wand out of his older brother's hand, he spoke up. "Alright! Is everyone ready?"
"Yep!" Talisa replied after turning on the toy car.
Tammy squealed again, making Junior grin.
"Alright, Tammy! You're about to enter your very first Grand Prix!" He looked down at the toy car. "This car is pretty fast, but I bet you can beat it!" Bowser Jr. tickled her, making Tammy laugh. "Just try not to cheat, ok?"
The race was about to begin.
"Ok!" Bowser Jr. counted down. "Three... two... one—GO!"
The toy car sped off with a squeal, zigzagging down the hall. Using Iggy's wand, Junior carefully raised the cardboard kart and made it fly a few inches above the floor. He, Iggy, and Talisa ran through the hall to keep up with Tammy and the car. Tammy didn't seem to care about the race; she just giggled and clapped as the scenery (the many portraits of Bowser hanging on the walls) slowly drifted by. Junior and Iggy ran along the left side of the box, watching as Tammy clapped some more.
"She's gaining on her!" Bowser Jr. cheered. "Look at that form! That concentration. That... amount of drool!"
As they arrived in another hall, the toy car collided with a wall next to a servant.
"Shoot!" Talisa grumbled.
"OH NO! Tali wipes out!" Bowser Jr. exclaimed.
Tammy squealed, trying to reach for the toy car as it sped off again. Iggy smiled, seeing how happy his daughter was right now. They turned a corner, seeing the rest of their family waiting for them. At the end of the hall was a couch cushion, which Junior declared the finish line.
Junior grinned. "Almost at the finish line! Who's going to make it?"
Talisa almost made the car bump into Langston's foot, but quickly turned it around. Tammy giggled, getting closer to the cushion.
"Talisa's back in the game, but Tammy's getting closer!"
Everyone looked on as Tammy and the toy car raced alongside each other. Then, Tammy yawned as her kart gently bumped into the cushion.
Junior dropped to his knees next to the box. "She did it! She did it! Tammy takes the gold!"
Junior picked her up and spun her around, careful not to make her dizzy. She giggled and clapped as the others clapped and cheered for her. Bowser Jr. reached into his shell and pulled out a bottle filled with milk with a gold star sticker on it.
"For outstanding performance, incredible speed, and looking adorable while doing absolutely nothing," Junior said, his voice mock-serious, "I hereby name you... the Champion Cutie of Darkland!"
Tammy squealed.
Junior smiled. "Y'know, I thought today was gonna suck. But, we all had fun."
The baby then grabbed his nose.
Junior chuckled. "Ok, ok, no need to get all mushy."
Talisa approached Tammy and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Good job, Tammy!"
Junior glanced down at Tammy again. "We're gonna have to train harder if you're gonna defend your title next time! You up for it, cutie?"
She blew a raspberry.
"Thought so."
And that's it! I hope you all enjoyed these stories! Now, I'm still outlining my next fanfic, so idk when I'll be able to write the first draft and then the final version. My mom got surgery done on July 11th, so I wasn't able to work on it for a couple of weeks. But now I can! So hopefully it won't be too long until my next upload :)
