The Koopalings And Stuffs

Haru: "Peasley, open your mouth."

Peasley: "Wha-"

Haru: "There we go- That should shut him up and calm him down."

Ludwig: "... Um??"

Haru: "It should be a peaceful ride home now... That little joint should completely clear Peasley's mind! He'll be too dazed to speak, and may even FORGET about seeing that strange boy jumping into the sea."

Ludwig: "............... May I have one?"

Haru: "That was my last one, I'm afraid. But fret not, we can stop and get you a treat on the way home as well! How does ice-cream sound?"

Ludwig: "That... Would be nice, I guess..."

Ludwig: *Remembers what's in his pocket*

Ludwig: "It sure is... Hot out here..." *Wipes sweat off his face*

Haru: *Chuckles* "I suppose the weather could be nicer out..."

Peasley: "Heyyy, why don't I get us all some drinks?? There's a vendor stand over there!"

Ludwig: "Oh, that'd be wonderful! Can you please get me a water?"

Haru: "I'll take champagne if they have any!"

Peasley: "You got it!!!" *Runs off*

...

Peasley: "I got the- Is that- WHY IS PINE JUMPING INTO THE WATER?!?!?!"

Ludwig: "I-I don't know...!!"

Haru: *Wasn't paying attention* "The fuck-"

Peasley: *Runs to the railing* "PIIIIIINE!!!!!"

Pine: *Gasp*

*SPLASH*

>Back at the castle<

Ludwig: "Do you think that was on purpose or on accident??"

Peasley: "I-I don't know...! I'm not sure who would do such a thing!!!"

>In the guest bedroom, on the bed<

Ludwig: "... Peasley?"

Peasley: "Yeah?"

Ludwig: "There's a fourth thing I want..."

Peasley: "Um. What is it?"

Ludwig: "For you to trust me on this." *Holding his wand*

"..........." *Seals up Peasley's scar with his wand, then puts the microchip in his own pocket*

>At a restaurant<

Waitress: "Votre nourriture sera prête sous peu!"

Peasley: "Merci!"

Waitress: *Walks off*

Peasley: "............."

Ludwig: "............."

Peasley: "............."

Ludwig: "....." *Sniffle*

Peasley: "Dear-"

Ludwig: *Starts crying*

Ludwig: "You're cheating on me!!!"

Peasley: "No! No, I'm not! I know, l've been neglecting you, and I'm so sorry! l'm not trying to! Just... You know how it is! Pine is someone who l'm very close to and haven't seen in years! I don't "love" him anymore, but he still holds a place in my heart, and I want to do stuff with him..."

"And I know, that isn't fair to you. I dont want to hurt you.. And I would NEVER cheat on you! That's not what this is!"

Ludwig: "... I knew it."

Peasley: "... Okay. But that wasn't the original plan! I didn't want to! I wasn't going to! l swear!! He was so convincing... And I-I mean, you know l've been deprived of it!!"

Ludwig: *Death glare*

Peasley: "...... Luddy, look, I'm SORRY. I know what l did was wrong. If I could go back in time and stop it, I would... Honestly. Please, believe me. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you, I would..."

Ludwig: "...... Let me have a bite of your casserole when it gets here."

Peasley: "............ Okay!!! That's... It??"

Ludwig: "Yeah... I believe you. And, I still love you... But, if I ever find out this happened again, I will slit your throat and leave you to bleed out in the desert."

Peasley: "... That's fair!" :)

Waitress: *Sets the food down*

Ludwig & Peasley: "Merci!!!"

Ludwig: *Nods* "It was a mistake... We ALL make mistakes! I trust that you won't let it happen again. And I know that you love me... The only other thing I want is for us to spend the rest of tonight having a good time... Okay?"

Peasley: "Okay! I will make that happen! I can call right now and get us reservations for any event you want! And... And I will make sure that it's the BEST of services, or else everyone involved will be beheaded!! I have the authority to make that happen, y'know!"

Ludwig: *Giggles* "Wait... I want one more thing!!"

Peasley: "What?"

Ludwig: "A kiss." *Pulls Peasley in*

*Everyone in the restaurant starts freaking out*

Ludwig: "... On second thought, maybe let's cut this night short!!"

>Hours later<

Ludwig: "I'm okay!! I don't want to talk about it."

Haru: "... Y'know... I think I have something that may cheer you up..."

Ludwig: "... What is it?"

Haru: "Cocaine." *Sets a huge bag on the table*

Ludwig: "......... Sure, at this point, why not? So, how am I supposed to-"

Peasley: "... Pine wanted to go bike-riding with me! We did a couple of things together, stopped by his house, got lunch... But now I'm back, and there's still plenty of time to do stuff!!! Don't worry!!! Come, Darling, do you want to... Go get dinner or something??" *Forced smile*

Ludwig: "I guess." *Walks out with him*

>At the castle, first thing in the morning<

Peasley: "What the-... Pine, qu'est-ce que tu fais là-dedans?!"

Pine: "Je voulais te faire une surprise!"

Peasley: "Oh, c'est très gentil, mais la prochaine fois, ne fais peut-être pas CELA."

Pine: "Je comprends!"

Peasley: "Voudriez-vous prendre le petit déjeuner avec moi?"

Pine: "J'adorerais!!!"

Ludwig: "Wait for me!!! I just need a second!"

>At the spa, boy's locker room<

Peasley: "I'd really like to thank you again, Dear... For being so understanding. I know me hanging out with my ex is kinda rude to you, but-"

Ludwig: "No, not at all! We've been over this! I just want you to have fun! Plus, I'm sure if I saw someone I used to know, even if they were an ex of mine, I would want to hang out with them, too..."

Peasley: "Exactly! And again, I'm sorry if it makes you feel left out.. If l were, even if unintentionally, making you feel excluded, you would tell me, right?"

Ludwig: "Yes, of course!"

Peasley: "Good.. Welp, Pine and I are about to go into the sauna! Bye!"

Ludwig: "Have fun...!"

Ludwig: ! "Um... Darling?"

Peasley: "Yeah?"

Ludwig: "What's with that thing on your back? It looks like some sort of scar!"

Peasley: "Hm? Oh, I'm not sure what that's from... But I've had it for a while!"

Ludwig: "... When did you notice it?"

Peasley: "Mmm... I believe I happened to see it in the mirror not too long after my break-up with P-"

>At the grocery store<

Ludwig: "Oh- Hey Darling, your... Friend is here if you wanna say hi."

Peasley: "Pine?? Where?"

Ludwig: "He's right over th-...... Huh. I... I JUST saw him...! Where did he go??"

Peasley: *Looks around* "... Maybe it was just your imagination?"

Ludwig: "I... Suppose so..."

Haru: "Come along, you two, we have much more to do!"

Haru: "... Hm. Ludwig, sweetheart, why don't you get your family some souvenirs?"

Ludwig: "Oh! Uh! I already got them stuff...! Way more than they deserve, ha ha..."

Haru: "I see." *Looks around* "... I've been informed that you-............... I'll just get to the point- Do you need more pads? I couldn't help but notice the box you brought with you is near empty. I'd be happy to get you more!"

Ludwig: !!! "That... Would actually be very helpful...! Thank you!!"

Haru: "Of course! We can't have you walking around without one! No, that simply won't do. Come, I believe they're this way."

Ludwig: *Follows Haru*

Peasley: "Nous étions sur le point d'aller au spa! Voudriez-vous nous rejoindre?"

Pine: "Je le ferais, mais... je ne pense pas que votre "partenaire" aimerait ça."

Peasley: "Je suis sûr que cela ne le dérangerait pas!... Would you, Ludwig?"

Ludwig: "... What?"

Peasley: "Pine would like to go with us to the spa! Is that okay with you?"

Ludwig: "Um... Sure, I guess..."

Roy: *Takes the phone* "Who is this and what do you wa-...... LUDDY???"

Ludwig: *Chuckles* "Hi...! How are things going over there?"

Roy: *Immediately tearing up and sobbing*

Ludwig: "... Roy?"

Roy: "OH MY GOD I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUUUCH!!" *Loud sniffle*

Ludwig: "Aw. I've missed you, too... I'm missing all of you..."

Lary: ! "Even me...?"

Ludwig: "... Yes, Larry, even you."

Larry: :D

Roy: "Want me to go and pass the phone around so you can talk to everyone?"

Ludwig: "Oh! Yes, I would love that!"

Ludwig: *Snickers* "... Oh! I think Peasley and his father are back! I'll talk to you later! Bye!!"

Roy: "Bye!!!"

Ludwig: "Hi, guys!! Didja have fun?"

Peasley: "Lots of fun! You should've seen me doing a double-flip off one of the bumps!!"

Haru: "Are you feeling better, kiddo?"

Ludwig: "Oh yeah, I am! I'm still not quite sure what my issue was, but it's all fine now! Thanks for asking!"

Haru: "Fabulous. It's good you're feeling better because we've got lots to do tomorrow! You two better go rest up... There's quite a few errands and treats to attend to."

Peasley: "We're going skiing!!!"

Haru: "You know how to ski, don't you, Ludwig? I will be taking us up to Hoohoo Mountain for a fun day on the slopes."

Ludwig: "I-... Ah heavens... I don't know if I can go... I think I might be sick... I don't feel well."

Haru: "Oh? Well, what's wrong? Having tummy problems? Head-ache? Fever? You don't sound like you have a cold or anything like that..."

Peasley: "We can stop at a medicine store on our way to the mountain if you want!"

Ludwig: "Um... No... I don't really know exactly what it is... I just don't feel... Good. I'd rather stay behind... But you two go ahead!! Don't let me stop you! You could definitely use some father-son, one-on-one time, alone! Go out and bond while I... Stay in bed..."

Peasley: "Okay... Love you, Dear!! You know you can always call us! And if you need anything, there's a few guards right by the main entrance! Good bye!"

Ludwig: "Bye, have fun!!!"

Ludwig: "Hm... Ooh!" *Finds Lemmy & Jr's card*

Ludwig: "Excuse me...?"

Cackletta: ! "... Who are you?"

Ludwig: "I am Prince Ludwig Von Koopa. I come from the Darklands. And who are you...?"

Cackletta: "Oi—You aren't finished answering my questions!! What are you doing here?"

Ludwig: "Um, I'm on vacation..? I'm here with my boyfriend, Peasley."

Cackletta: "Who...??"

Ludwig: *Looks very confused* "The... Prince of this kingdom?"

Ludwig: "Persephone's and Haru's! Did you not know they had a kid...?? He's been alive for seventeen whole years!"

Cackletta: "SEVENTEEN!?"

Ludwig: "Now who are you??"

Cackletta: "I-"

Fawful: "... What are ya gonna do? Stab me??" *Hysterical laughter*

Cackletta: "We have more right being here than YOU. This is our childhood home, you know! And you. You're just some human with a crown!"

Haru: "I am the king, actually, and I have the right to have you hanged right here, right now, if you don't get the hell out of my home and fuck right out of this kingdom."

Fawful: "Oh please- We aren't here to cause any trouble!"

Haru: "How did you even get past all my guards?!"

Fawful: *Holding a ray gun behind his back* "... Irrelevant. But in my defense, they caused US trouble."

Cackletta: "Look, Harry, we just came here because I remembered something I left years ago, and I want it back. Sooo, we dropped by, I'm going to go retrieve it, and we'll be on our merry way."

Haru: "... And what IS this something that you are going to retrieve?"

Cackletta: "A dress!"

Haru: "'A dress...??"

Haru: "Fine. You may enter. You have five minutes. lf you don't find it by then, then too bad. And don't expect me to keep allowing these sort of things!"

Fawful: "Excellent! I-"

Haru: "Not you. Cackletta, go get your dress. Fawful. Don't. MOVE. A. MUSCLE."

Fawful: :(

>After the last song plays<

Ludwig: "... Darling!"

Peasley: ! "Oh, hey, Dear! You'll never guess who happened to be at the concert! Pine!!!" :D

Pine: :)

Ludwig: "... I see that." :/

Peasley: "...... You're not upset, are you? I-I just figured since you weren't going to watch the show with me that I might as well hang with Pine instead...! It's such a lucky coincidence that he was here, y'know? And I wanted to do a bit of catching-up while you were off doing your own thing!"

Ludwig: "..." *Sigh* "No, I'm not mad! Are YOU mad that I just left you here...?"

Peasley: "Not at all! I totally understand why you didn't want to stick around... You're very brave for coming, and I'm glad we both went and had a good time!"

Ludwig: "... Splendid. Though, I must know..."

Pine: "... Ich habe es einfach getan... Au revoir Peasley!" *Immediately walks away*

Ludwig: "......... Um-"

Peasley: "Wait—Dear, we agreed that we'd do whatever YOU wanted to do right after this! Is there anything you wanna try?"

Ludwig: "Umm...... Bowling, maybe?"

Haru: "Ah, delightful. There's a bowling alley right down the lane! Let's go, kiddos."

>At the concert<

Peasley: ?

Ludwig: "I... I think I recognize that band...!"

Peasley: "Do you listen to them?"

Ludwig: "No, but I'm pretty sure that... TOPPER DOES!!! He told me about them once...! I think he said he and our pal Plessie are both fans!!"

Peasley: "Oh, that's wonderful!"

Ludwig: "Hm... Since we're here... Do you mind if I go get some merchandise of the band as a gift for them? I think they'd appreciate it!!!"

Peasley: "Come ooon, wake up!!!"

Ludwig: "Okay, okay..." *Gets out of bed* "What is it we have to go to...?"

Peasley: "A concert!!!"

Ludwig: "... What?"

Peasley: "My dad is hosting a rock concert down-town, and he'd really appreciate it if we came! He tried to schedule it specifically so it would happen while we were here!"

Ludwig: "..."

Peasley: "... Uh..."

Ludwig: "I get overwhelmed by loud noises!... I can't handle crowds... And, I assume the music is going to be absolutely BLASTING in our faces, isn't it? I don't think I'd be able to go to this without having a complete break-down..."

Peasley: "... I didn't think about that... Hm... Well, we can get you some noise-canceling headphones...! I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, but I do REALLY want you to go! It would make me and my dad so happy..."

Ludwig: "I-I don't know..."

Ludwig: "Mmm... Alright... I guess I should at least give it a shot..."

Peasley: "Yesss!!! Thank you, Dear! I promise, we can go do whatever YOU want to do right afterwards!"

Ludwig: "Wait, so is the band going to be... In French?"

Peasley: "There's actually a handful of rock bands going on! They have both French and English! So you don't have to feel left out!"

Ludwig: "Oh...! Wonderful!"

Ludwig: "... Hey, Haru?"

Haru: ! "Yes, little one?"

Ludwig: "I just wanted to... Um... Apologize... That episode probably wasn't very good......"

Haru: "What? Oh, heavens no, don't be ridiculous—It was just fine! Excellent, in fact!"

Ludwig: ! "B-But I-"

Haru: "Listen, my sweet summer child... Everyone, famous or not, is nervous when they go on to do their first show or event or even a podcast episode. That's just basic nature. But you. YOU are nothing basic. I know you have great talent in there somewhere."

"If I didn't think you were worth my time, I wouldn't have asked for you to come on! Did you think that I actually interview royalty just because they're royalty? No. I can just tell. And that episode proved me right. You do have a true talent within you!!"

"And I fully expect—Nay, I KNOW that you are capable of absolutely blowing me away with your... What is it- PIANO SKILLS and making me, plus millions of others, want you on our own podcasts over and over again to exploit your talent for fame and money!"

Ludwig: "... What."

Haru: "To be frank, people who cause mediocre episodes without realizing it ARE the "bad." And not worthy of fame at all! But you? You're doing just fine." :)

Ludwig: "Ummm... Thank you...?"

Haru: "Now. Could you be a doll and help me set up for the next episode? I do multiple in one day and have another guest coming in. We need to rearrange furniture a bit n' stuff to their liking."

Ludwig: "Of course!!"

Ludwig: "Oh my goodness...!"

Birdo: ? *Looks up*

Ludwig: "... Um, h-hi!"

Birdo: "Hello, random person."

Ludwig: "Ummm... Uhhh..."

Ludwig: "... Ummmmmm..." *Pulls out a napkin*
