"I really don't want to do this again" he thought to himself while adjusting his bandana, "We've been doing it for years, you would think by now dad would give up" He breathed clenching his fangs under his bandana. That's when the Koopa King stomped forward, his son staring at him through his own bandana,
"Alright let's see, Ludwig, Lemmy, Iggy, Morton, Wendy, Roy and Larry. But I feel like we're missing someone" the Koopa King said looking at all seven of the koopalings. He turned with a blink of an eye something was off, "BOWSER JR" he roared as Bowser Jr came back from hiding over the wall. Bowser grabbed his bandana ,and set him down next to the koopalings," Alright all of you, this is a very important mission, you are all supposed to head out into the Mushroom Kingdom while I grab the princess. Make as much destruction as you can to the land" he roared. Bowser Jr sighing as the koopalings cheered in excitement. Bowser looking down at his own son concerned.
"I don't want to do this" Bowser Jr said whispering to himself. He was about to walk away when Bowser grabbed his bandana knot again,
"Son. May I talk to you for a few minutes?" he asked lifting Bowser Jr off the ground, and into his arms. Bowser Jr was in concern as his dad walked over to the other side of the room. He set Bowser Jr down staring at him dead on his eyes,
"Dad, please if I could just explai-"before he could continue his dad snarled,
"You don't need in explanation for me Mr." he replied, "How old are you, Junior?" he asked. Bowser Jr letting out a sigh,
"15 years old" he said crossing his arms,
", and how old were you when I told you about the princess?" he asked staring down as his still small son,
"Four…. I think?" he cocked his head, and shrugged. Bowser nodded,
"So you know your future, for the princess to be mine, and for us to be leaders of the Mushroom Kingdom right?!" Bowser nudging Bowser Jr with elbow. Bowser Jr sighing,
"Well I'm just saying, you do this plan every single time we attack the Mushroom Kingdom. Every time Mario comes after you once again, and you whiny in your castle that your plans have failed. Look, I think you should try a different tack-tic. I even have blue prints of a machine idea I had made…" he reached into his shell pulling out a piece of paper. Bowser taking the piece of paper, and shoving it back into Bowser Jr's shell,
"I don't want to see your drawings right now. I need you to focus on the Mushroom Kingdom" Bowser replied. He patted Bowser Jr on his shell, "Just make me proud" he said smiling as his son. Bowser Jr sighing as he walked away, and jumped up onto his own airship,
"It's going to fail again, and won't feel sorry for you dad" he mumbled to himself while jumping onto the airship that had promptly came to his feet.
However this is only the beginning of Bowser's non sense. You see as Bowser Jr started getting older from the events of Sunshine, Paper Jam etc. he started to recognize the flaws in his dad's plans, and how stupid they were. Each time his father went off to get Princess Peach, and take over the Mushroom Kingdom, his plans always backfired, and there he would sit for hours on end talking to Junior on a new stagy that always turned into the exact same thing as before. To top it all off because of this bonding with his dad, and how he had to work so hard being a minion to Bowser he never got to meet anyone, and expressed his feelings towards a lot of things.
See the thing is, everyone assumed he was this evil little brat who wanted nothing but power, but truth is as he got older he really just wanted someone to be friends with ,and help him take over the Mushroom Kingdom overtime. Of course being the son of a giant power hungry turtle, and being raised by Kamek, and Bowser to do nothing but kidnap the princess. Of course he wanted to take control of the Mushroom Kingdom, look how much it would make his own dad proud of him? Of course you can't make everyone you care about proud of you all the time and unknown to Bowser Jr someone had a very similar problem to him.
