The Consequences Of A Very Stupid Decision ✔️

10- the bribe

BOWSERS POV

"No,"Wendy said, when the drugs kicked in and Junior was knocked out.

"No what?"I asked.

"We can't bring him to the hospital. You know this more than anyone,"said Wendy,"They'll take him away from us for being insane."

"What do we do then?"I asked.

"You need to leave. Or if you don't want to, get another one of those suits. Pretend to be a worker in the castle. We'll tell Junior that it was all a dream when he gets up,"said Wendy. "You damaged him a lot more than you think."

I looked down in shame.

Peach smiled.

"She's right. He can't go to the hospital. You can go wherever you got that suit and you can come back if you want to see us so badly,"said Ludwig,"Just don't threaten us like last time. Bowser, you're a terrible actor."

"Dad to you,"I said.

"Oh, you're not my dad anymore. I just now can understand now why all the mushroom kingdom folk are terrified of you. You've changed from before. You're not the same person as you used to be before Clawdia came,"Ludwig said.

"You can't just stop me being your dad,"I protested.

"I meant that this personality isn't you. Purposely traumatising Junior and locking us in the sex dungeon. That's not my dad,"said Ludwig.

I gritted my teeth. "You don't understand, Peach was practically a slave, I was just protecting her."

"Well, you were just as bad as Mario,"said Wendy,"Now we better hurry up and get him to bed so he doesn't suspect anything."

I changed back into the John suit and carried him upstairs.

"I'll be back in a few days,"I said to Peach and the Koopalings in the kitchen. "What will the code word be?"

"I'm not sure I want you back,"said Roy.

"Ok. Is there something I can bribe you with?"I asked,"Because I miss you guys."

"We miss you too. The old you,"said Lemmy.

Then suddenly, Larry grinned.

"There's something we all want that only you can give us,"said Larry.

"What is it?"I asked.

They all went in a huddle and whispered. Soon all of them were grinning.

"It's not really fair though, Junior won't be able to know. Because he wanted this the most,"said Morton.

"I'll come out to him eventually. But it's too dangerous now,"I said. "What is this big thing that you all want?"

"Well,"said Ludwig,"Before, you didn't give anything away. And all we wanted to know about was your past, Clawdia's past, how you guys met, etcetera."

I had to resist doing what I usually did; shout at them until they stopped.

"He's not going to. It was a stupid idea to even ask,"said Iggy.

"No,"I finally decided,"I'm going to. If that's what it takes for you all to accept me again."

They all grinned at each other.

Peach smiled,"Sorry to break up the celebration, but Bowser, you need to leave. Before the drugs wear off."

"What's the code word?"I asked. "And what do you want my name to be?"

"Your name can be Jack. He was my secret boyfriend when the flood happened. He was super superstitious so he left after that, because he thought it was bad luck. He was also super intimidated by Mario,"said Peach. "Code word will be, Lentils."

"Why? Lentils?"

Peach blushed. "Well, Mario banned the word 'lentils' from the kingdom because some little kid called him a stupid lentil. So nobody else would say 'Lentil' or 'Lentils' because it's disrespectful to Mario's memory."

"Ok then. Be outside the border. Greet me. I'll say 'Hi, my name is Jack and I like lentils' and you bring me back to the castle."

"Yes! Now leave!"Wendy said as she shoved me outside the door.
