"The World for Three"

Not a Perfect Day

Lemmy and Iggy are the first to be awoken only seeing the two are facing each other leaving them to blush and laughing for a little while. They have gotten up out of the bed and look towards the left of the room to just see their young brother asleep still.
Lemmy want to wake him up but Iggy denied to not disturb him from his slumber, so instead Iggy request for Lemmy and himself to take a little walk from Sirena to Gelato Beach. Lemmy gladly accept Iggy's offer as they quietly head out of the hotel, leaving Larry on his own. As Lemmy and Iggy walked, Lemmy noticed that everyone is taller than him so he summoned a Circus ball for himself just so he doesn't feel too short. "Iggy! I heard in Gelato beach is really pretty! The sky is so nice, the beach is so big and they serve great smoothies!" Said Lemmy gleefully. "That's why we are heading over there. We will go and get Larry a smoothie. And maybe chill for a bit y'know?" "That sounds great Iggy!" The two Koopalings are at Gelato Beach and ordered 3 smoothies as they watch and see such a beautiful beach, so they thought they can lay down and relax for a while before they head back to the hotel.
"Lemmy?" "Yes Iggy?" "I can't really believe that we made it here, I like being here Lemmy, away from home with you and Larry being happy and free. It's been such a fun experience that I can travel in some parts of our world." Iggy said in a calm tone instead of his usual crazy manner.
Lemmy gave off a happy smile and hugs Iggy with all the love he can. "Thank you."
"Thank me for what Lemmy?" "I wanna thank Larry too but what I wanna say is, thanks for making these past days the best days of my Koopaling life." Iggy hugs Lemmy back. "Can we just relax for a moment?" He said in a light chuckle. "Yes Iggy, we may"

Now mentioning the 4 Koopalings still on the Clown Car, flying high above still looking for the trio have maybe starting to give up again until Wendy begs to go to Delfino just so she can have fun but Roy and Morton said no, Ludwig said yes. The two Koopalings who denied looked at Ludwig confusingly. "Trust me." He said as he grooms his tufts of hair. They head over to the ocean heading to Isle Delfino.

Later, Lemmy and Iggy lost track of time and forgot to head back in the hotel. They ain't too much in a panic but they did got up and start walking back to Hotel Delfino.
"I can't believe we relaxed too much, I feel bad." Lemmy said not so happily. "Oh Lemmy, we'll make it back and take Larry here and I promise that." Iggy said as he looked up to the skies and see a strange shape, he adjusted his glasses to see it was the Koopa Clown car heading their way. "But we gotta make it quick!" He said, carrying Lemmy all the way and starts to run.
Back at Hotel Delfino,
Larry is still asleep, dreaming about seeing his 5 year old self again, This time he noticed that he wasn't beaten or anything like the memory back at Ice land, but yet rather crying alone, instead of near the castle they are somewhere remote in the woods of guessing to himself is Acorn Plains which is near Grass land. Larry wants to speak to the little Koopaling but his voice is gone and can't say a word. The little Koopaling's eyes are sparkling blue as his tears start to fall, Larry has the ability to walk towards the little Koopaling but can't seem to interact with him like a voiceless ghost, He wish he can do something to cheer the little Koopa up knowing he's rather lost but nothing happened. Little Larry can't seem to go back anywhere, as it looks like he's just sitting on the ground hugging his knees almost covering his face, repeating: "I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do!" He heard noises from deep within getting closer from every twig snapping and leaves crumpling from the steps coming. Little Larry stood up, looked around and run away in a panic of fear not knowing where he is going.
Older Larry, still being unknown, went after him and only to find him on the ground with a minor bruises predicting he tripped on a tree's root. The small Koopaling tried standing up but can't maybe due to a sprained ankle, he wants to call for help but he's afraid whatever he's running from will find him. He's helpless, lost and alone, until the sounds come closer seeing that its just Younger versions of Lemmy and Iggy. Larry may not speak but he thought to himself that maybe this is a good dream, till he thought so soon. Lemmy held out his hand to help little Larry up, as the young Koopa smiled and felt overjoyed, he grabbed Lemmy's mini sized hands to get pulled up just to be pushed down again by Iggy. As the two laughed at him for being so gullible, Larry can't believe this dream being his two trusted brothers just tearing him down up until he sees the rest of the Koopalings came by and watch him weep and giggle sinisterly. They'd grabbed young, innocent Larry tightly around him and dragged him to the depths of the forest only for the older Larry to watch his youthful self sobbing and hearing his high pitched screams. Larry seen his own eyes filled with fear and sorrow as the flooding tears stream down his cheeks till then disappeared into the darkness within, leaving just Larry by himself as the scenery is filled with nothing but a long hallway for him to just walk on forever. Every step Larry takes is slowing him down making weaker "Don't worry Larry, its all gonna be alright" He said to himself. Larry hears familiar voices, all of course saying he's a good-for- nothing Koopa child who doesn't belong with the rest of his sibilings and keep getting to him, making him feel underestimated more than he used to think. "I'm sorry." He keeps repeating as his eyes dazzle with despair, kneeling down putting his hands over his face.
He then woke up with a wet pillow from all the tears he shed, "I'm not okay after all."
Larry heard rapid footsteps coming to his room as the door opens to see Lemmy and Iggy breathing rapidly. "Larry?" The two said in sync. "What's going on out there?" Larry said trying to avoid the two from asking questions. Lemmy locked the door while Iggy shushed Larry. "I'll explain in a minute" Iggy whispered to him.
They heard whirring sounds, knowing is the clown car outside and footsteps outside of their room. The sounds fade away and Iggy told what happened to them back at Gelato beach, Lemmy handed Larry a smoothie after that.
"Ok, how do we get out?" Larry said trying to avoid eye contact with the two Koopa kids and drinking his smoothie. "We have to run even more than we used to." Iggy made the suggestion clear that if they get caught, they're through.
Lemmy and Larry nod, unlocking the door and sneaking away to get out of Sirena and possibly Ricco Harbor which is known to be a ship yard but yet they don't know where to go. They just have to run away from the clown car, all the Koopalings in that car dismounted and starts chasing after them since they ain't to far from them. Wendy, Roy and Ludwig caught up and has their hands on Lemmy, Iggy and Larry.
This is their worst fear, seeing dad's disappointing face as soon as they go back to the castle.
"Kids?! What are all of you doing here!"
The Koopalings went to shock, seeing that Bowser is just right there with them.

Authors note: My goal is 20 chapters only and I'm thankful I made it this far! Enjoy this and the last chapter of the story!
I couldn't come up with a title for this chapter so please go easy on me.
Adding my apologies for such a long chapter once again and sorry for making Larry's dream being so long, maybe it's based on my emotions.
