The Koopalings go to the Doctor

Prologue

NOTES: It's a tradition for me to do a submission every Bowser Day (8/4) ever since I heard of the concept many years as a submitter on Koopatorivm, Lemmy's Land and other fansites (all defunct now, unfortunately), but I was too busy to do one yesterday. Good thing that Koopalings Week (8/5-11) is going on now, and what better way to celebrate than with a wacky story with seven wacky (but amiable) personalities?

I'll be updating every day (with one coming later today) until the 11th. I hope you enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bowser and the Koopalings pack the family doomship, each getting the final preparations to get officially accepted into Dark Land Charter School. After obtaining their supplies, their parking passes and their lockers, only two things remain: their medical physicals and their up-to-date vaccination records.

"I don't wanna go to the Doctor!" Wendy threw a tantrum.

"The doctor scares me! His needles hurt!" Lemmy cried.

"Yeah, Dad!" Morton added, "Do you know how many of those drugs cause cancer?!"

"None of zem, imbecile," Ludwig said as he puts his book down, "Zat's all conspiracies and lies."

"No! It isn't! Vaccines are how we're controlled!" Morton argued.

Ludwig rolls his eyes as he returns to his book.

"I'm actually excited!" Iggy squealed, "I love the doctor! The medicines taste great!"

"Why doesn't Junior have to go?" Larry mumbled.

"Because Junior's too young for school!" Bowser shouted, "You're all going, and that's that! Anyone who doesn't go to the doctor will get NO dinner and a trip to the dungeon!"

"Oh no. A place vhere I can read in peace and quiet, avay from zese halfvits. I'm so intimidated, Fazzer," Ludwig sneered at the threat, rolling his eyes.

"Not the dungeon!" Larry, Wendy, Morton and Lemmy cried. Roy only grunts, while Iggy bursts into laughter.

"Then behave!"

The four complainers oblige, although complaining amongst each other. Bowser sighs; they're not even there, and he already knows this will be a long day.

Ten minutes later, Bowser pulls into the hospital and drags the seven kids into the lobby. He seats each of them in the waiting room's chair—although Lemmy rushes towards the play area—before going to the receptionist's desk.

"Sir, I'll need some paperwork done. This will establish your kids' medical records," the receptionist stated, "Let's start with your youngest. What's his full name and date of birth?"

Bowser nodded, "Okay. The name is Lawrence Koopa. Birthdate of August 5, 1986."

"Got it," the receptionist stated, "Any special information about Lawrence that the doctor should know?"

Bowser looks at Larry, who's sitting on the chair, smiling innocently at his father. Perhaps, a tad TOO innocent.

"Uhh," Bowser shivered, "No."

"Okay!" the receptionist continued, "Next child?"

"Morton Koopa Junior. Birthdate of December 14, 1985. Even if he's prescribed drugs, Morton won't take them out of fear of some mind-control crazy belief."

"Got him," the receptionist smiled, "Next?"

"My daughter, Gwendolyn Orlean Koopa. She goes by Wendy. Birthdate of May 18, 1985. She's athletic; she likes to swim and is planning on joining the swim team at her school."

"She will receive a physical from the doctor then," the receptionist stated, "Next?"

"Ignatius Koopa. Birthdate of September 27, 1984. He has some insanity issues."

"Good to know! Next?"

"Roy Koopa. Birthdate of May 18, 1982. He's joining the football team. He can be..." Bowser looks back at Roy, who's with Lemmy in the play area. There, he snatches the office-supplied Axem Rangers action figures from a sobbing Lemmy and beheads them. Bowser stares wide-eyed at the receptionist before croaking, "... Aggressive at times, and uncooperative. He also doesn't like talking, just as a heads up."

"Okay, he'll have a physical by the doctor too. He even has the same birthday as his sister. That's cool!"

"Yeah, coincidence..." Bowser groaned, "Want the next?"

"I'm ready."

"Lemmy Koopa. Born on December 11, 1981. Nothing extra to add about him."

"Okay, that's six. Who's the last?" The receptionist questioned.

"That will be Ludwig von Koopa. Born October 26, 1981. Nothing special to add either."

The receptionist types in the last of the data before hitting Enter. She smiles at Bowser before replying, "Got them all. Doctor Bolstad will be out soon. Thank you, Bowser!"

Bowser smiles as he sits in the waiting room with his rambunctious kids. His smile drops as he notices Wendy throwing a tantrum over having her bow stolen—in which Larry hides behind his shell—Morton telling horror stories about needles to a wailing Lemmy, Roy stabbing the beheaded Axem Rangers action figures with his claws, and Iggy attempting to make inventions from a cart full of medical tools.

"Oh great DAD..." Bowser sighed as he sits by Ludwig, who remains too engrossed in a book to care for anything around him, "What did I just sign us up to do..."

All Ludwig responds with is a page turn.
