The Koopalings...In School?!

The New Apprentice

The next day was Sunday, the day before school.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Lemmy shouted, while staring at a calendar. "What's wrong?" Iggy asked. "Tomorrow..... IS MONDAY!" Lemmy exclaimed. "Well, yeah. Monday comes after Sunday." Iggy stated.

"But I don't want Monday to come! Ever! Can we replace it with some other weekend day? Let's call it Fun-Day! No school, just another day of the weekend! And then let's replace Tuesday! And Wednesday! And Thursday!.." Lemmy began to ramble on and on.

Iggy chuckled. "Lemmy, ya can't just replaced every week day, with some other day!" Iggy explained. "But-Wait...I have a better idea! Let's build a time machine! And go back to the time when we didn't have school! Then we can be nice to Bowser, and hope he doesn't send us to school!" Lemmy exclaimed.

"A time machine takes a lot of time!" Iggy stated. "But...if you built a time machine, then everyone would think you're an even GREATER genius than ya are now!" Lemmy stated.

"It's just too much work, and thoughts, and other stuff, and it all takes time!" Iggy explained. "Please! Can you at least try it?! Come on! And then everything would get fixed! And we would never have to deal with that knowledge-filled building!" Lemmy pleaded, while making puppy eyes.

Iggy let out a great, loud, sigh. "Fine. But don't expect it to be built in a few seconds, or over the night, or day. Got it?" Iggy asked. "You're even more of the best brother ever now!" Lemmy exclaimed, happily.

Lemmy then left the room, wondering what to do next. He then noticed purple smoke emerging in the air. He followed it, before reaching Kamek's room.

"What are ya doing?" He asked. Kamek quickly turned around before covering his magic pot. As he noticed Lemmy, his glare returned.

"Sorry to bother! But I'm bored! Hey I got a question! Do ya like wearing Peach's dresses? I mean, don't tell me ya haven't worn it at least twice!" Lemmy exclaimed. Kamek rolled his eyes.

"No. Go away." He mumbled, before turning his attention back to his magic pot. "Come on! I know you have more than just that to say!" Lemmy stated, walking a few steps closer.

Kamek then noticed this. "Go AWAY!" He shouted, beginning to shoot magic beams from his wand. Lemmy then ran out of the room, just as the door slammed behind him.

"You don't have to be so rude!" Lemmy shouted outside his door. He then continued to walk along, thinking of any possible way to make Kamek speak.

He then headed for Wendy's door, before knocking on it. "What do you want?" Wendy asked, opening the door. "You got any robes?" Lemmy questioned. Wendy stared at him for a moment, before walking into the room.

"What for?" She asked, sitting on the floor and doing her nails. Lemmy then walked in and looked around. "Well, I'm planning on making Kamek talk more! So I was thinking maybe I could dress as a Magikoopa!" Lemmy explained.

"What? Why do you want to make him talk more? His voice is annoying." Wendy stated. "Well, he's strange and mysterious! And mysteries must get solved!" Lemmy answered.

Wendy rolled her eyes before pointing toward the closet. "Look in there." Wendy suggested. Lemmy headed for the closet and looked around.

Lemmy then came out with a large blue robe. "I'd prefer orange, or yellow, but I don't wanna be the odd one out!" Lemmy muffled through the hoodie covering his face. Wendy waved her scepter, making the robe fit Lemmy.

"Hey! It's perfect!" Lemmy stated, glancing at himself in the mirror. "You're gonna need one of these." Wendy said, holding up a pair of oval shaped glasses. "Cool!" Lemmy stated, putting them on.

"AH!" Lemmy screamed, taking them off immediately. "What?" Wendy questioned. "Everything looks too big!" Lemmy explained. "Looks like you don't need any medicine. Alright, let me help." Wendy said, zapping the glasses.

Lemmy then slowly put the glasses over his face. "Hey! Everything looks normal!" Lemmy exclaimed. Wendy nodded. "There's no medicine in those." She stated.

"So....do I look like a Magikoopa?" Lemmy asked. "Well....you're on the short side, and...your hair sticks out of the hoodie...but, otherwise ya look just like one." Wendy explained, closing the nail polish.

Lemmy then gasped. "What if...I pretend to be his apprentice?!" Lemmy suggested. Wendy stared at him before shrugging. He then ran out the room, and back to Kamek's.

He knocked loudly, before the door was quickly opened. Kamek stared at him, and tilted his head. "Hi! I...uhh...I'm your new apprentice!" Lemmy stated. "Apprentice? I don't remember being assigned to an apprentice..." Kamek muttered.

"Well...uhh...Surprise! Cool room ya got here!" Lemmy stated, walking into the room. Kamek then stared at him, thinking how he could've gotten an apprentice assigned to him.

"Question, what is your name?" Kamek asked. Lemmy's mind went blank. "I...uhh...that's not important!" Lemmy blurted out. Kamek gave him a suspicious look, before shrugging it off.

"Alright, your first day of training will begin tomorrow, in the afternoon, so, come around, eh? And don't be late." Kamek ordered. "Sure!" Lemmy stated, before exiting.

'Apprentice? I don't recall ever being told that I'd get assigned to one... That minor is very suspicious...and familiar looking...' Kamek thought.

Lemmy then entered the room. "What the heck are you wearing?" Iggy questioned, chuckling at the sight of Lemmy's robe.

"A costume! To be a Magikoopa! And it worked! I'm gonna be Kamek's new apprentice!" Lemmy exclaimed. "Apprentice? You mean he's gonna show you his wizard moves?" Iggy asked. "Totally!" Lemmy stated.

"Well, I think that's great for ya." Iggy stated. "Yeah! Then I'll be a great wizard like him! And my magic will be even more awesome!" Lemmy stated. "But you do know, that being an apprentice means having homework, right?" Iggy asked.

"Homework? Well, it shouldn't be too hard. Besides, that'll keep me busy while you get your machine done!" Lemmy explained. "Hmm...I suppose so." Iggy answered, glancing down at the time machine.
