THE MUSHROOM PRINCESS made the sorry mistake of leaving the kitchen unattended for the shortest while. just a second, she said to herself ! no need to have anyone come in and protect the cake. one might’ve thought a royal baker prepared this for the princess’s birthday, what with it’s extravagance. but as a matter of fact, it was the princess’s handiwork ! peach has spent most of her day working on positively perfecting the pastry for a dear friend’s tea party, & all of that was about to be brought down by the smallest of claws.
“ – stop right there ! “ the blonde’s hands fly up dramatically when she enters the room, & she rushes towards the scene of the crime. “ how did you get in here ? not asking for a slice is terribly rude, too ! “
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. He was inches away from dragging his claw across the hypnotizing cake, ultimately destroying all the hard work, but the warning voice in panic caught him just in time! Jr felt his heart drop to the bottom of his stomach, quickly retracting his hand to hide behind his back with beads of sweat rolling down his chubby cheeks. He quickly faced the princess, offering a weak half smile since he knows he’d been caught.
But, what was he going to say: Hey, sorry, but I was snooping around your castle without permission and tried to eat your cake? Yeah, no matter how he spun it, he couldn’t think of a logical thing to say...So, he opened his mouth and allowed whatever to escape be his response.
“ Well..Umm... I saw this Toad, and he was messing with your cake! So, of course, I had to come and stop him. He was a Buff Toad, so you know it took my outstanding strength to stop him... Ya know, give him the good ol’ ONE, TWO” Yeah, anyone would believe that! He was even started to believe it himself, that the boy started posing, flexing, and acting out all the small details for the princess to better understand. It was a life and death situation with that Buff Toad, after all.
