Weird Legacy
Peach's POV
It's such a quiet afternoon... Crash! "Ah!" "It's Bowser!"
Let me rephrase that, it is a noise afternoon in the Mushroom Kingdom and I am about to get kidnapped. That's not my only worry, I have busy afternoon today. This isn't something I want to do but it needs to be done.
"King dad!" That must be Junior but why is he here?
"You'll have to wait until we get back home. You shouldn't have snuck along like that" that was Bowser.
I open the door and find Bowser and his son there, just as I thought. Junior looks somewhat uncomfortable. I wonder what's wrong. Now Bowser is staring at me but not the same way he usually does, this is a surprised stare. I think I'll give him time to get over the shock and see what's wrong with Junior. "Are you alright?"
He shakes his head. "I had too much chocolate milk and I gotta go!"
"Go where?" I pause, of course, it should be obvious. "It's ok, this way."
"Peach?" Sounds like Bowser regained the ability to speak. "My precious princess, are they making you work?"
"Calm down Bowser no one is making me do anything. It's just that I need to do some cleaning and no, it's not something that the maids can do. It's a long story." I guess he's really shocked to find me like this with old jeans, a pink tshirt, no jewelry, my hair in a ponytail, rubber gloves and a bucket full of cleaning supplies in my hands. "First I need to show Junior where the bathroom is, ok?"
He nods still clearly confused and the two koopas fallow me. Hidden in my walk in closet there is a level. After pulling it a hidden tunnel in a wall appears. From there we go down spiral stairs and into a dark passage. I reach for the light switch and Click! Sigh... "Looks like I'll have to change the light bulb too."
"Mama Peach, are we almost there?"
"Yes, almost." Finally we arrive at the end of a tunnel and there I input a numeric password into a panel on the wall revealing another secret passage. "See the door at the end? That's the bathroom."
"Thank you Mama Peach!" While Junior rushed to the bathroom Bowser continued staring at me.
"I guess I should explain this. It's kind of a secret so please don't tell anyone."
"Sure, I just want to know what's going on. Is cleaning like a hobby and why is the bathroom hidden underground?"
I laugh. He really is confused by all of this but I can't blame him. "Not exactly, you see, one of my ancestors from a long time ago well let's just say she didn't have the best attitude. She wanted people to think royalty was special to the point were we didn't sneeze, get hot or cold, sick, dirty, sweaty and so on. She wanted people to think royalty was so special we didn't even need to use the bathroom. Because of that the bathrooms were built hidden. No one but the royal family can know the location of the bathrooms that are in the castle as it is considered a family secret passed down the generations. Because the law says that we cannot tell anyone about the family secrets including the maids, I have to do the cleaning myself."
He's staring at me as if I grew a second head. I honestly can't blame him. "Can't you change that law?"
"Because the royal family's secrets and that law are considered part of an ancestral legacy we can't simply change it. If our people found out and at least 95% of the Mushroom Kingdom population signed a petition to change it then it can be changed. Honestly, I've considered letting it slip but father would be embarrassed that he as well as our ancestors had been guarding this ridiculous legacy for so long. Can you image it? People signing a petition for bathrooms? It would be rather strange. The castle workers don't really ask about it they just walk to Toad Town if they need a bathroom break. I wish we could at least build a bathroom for them but the obvious presence of bathrooms in the castle in forbidden."
We laugh together. "I never knew you hid such secrets."
It seems Junior is done as he is now coming out of the bathroom. "Feel better?"
He nods. "Yup thank you for letting me borrow your bathroom Mama Peach. How com you're dressed different today?"
"It's cleaning day, that's all." At that he looks adorably confused. "The cleaning can wait, keep your daddy entertained while I go change and I'll go to the castle to play with you and your siblings."
If Daisy was witnessing this she would say something like "I knew the reason you were getting kidnapped so often was because you wanted to." Last time we spoke she suggested that maybe it wasn't a kidnapping anymore because I was willing to go. I didn't give her a straight answer and I know it must be driving her insane. I'll tell her next time.
"Yay Mama Peach is coming over! Let's go let's go!" Junior is certainly energetic today rushing back out the secret passage.
Bowser rushes after him reminding him not to break anything. When we emerge from the closet we find a group of Toad guards looking quite confused as to how we apparently vanished from the castle a lot faster then in previous kidnappings. That's when Bowser paused. The look in his face was as if he needed to sneeze. He tried hard to hold it in but it didn't work because he sneezed anyway. With the sneeze came flaming breath.
The Toad guards squealed in fear and immediately began to panic thinking the sneeze was an attack. I really should be making fun of my beloved loyal subjects but thy look kind of funny running around in circles all panicked. Oh look two of them bumped into each other, excused themselves then continued running. "Please calm down everyone. Go back to your posts, everything is fine, trust me. As I led them out of the room they appeared to be so panicked they didn't even noticed my change of attire.
"Sorry about that" Bowser said sounding embarrassed.
"It's ok, I know you didn't mean to scare them. Here" I hold out a box of Kleenex, they're pink of course.
He shyly takes and looks at it adoringly rather than using it. "Acho!" That sneeze was smaller and more high pitched too young to produce fire like that of his father.
"You too, Junior?" He's near the tunnel again trying to reach the level that opens and closes it. "There's dust in the tunnel, I really need to clean it before it gets on my dresses. But it's ok, I'll clean it tomorrow." Today I said I would go play with the koopalings and that I shall do. Besides, a little procrastination won't hurt... "Here you go" I can't believe I'm doing this, holding the soft pink tissue for him like my mother used to do when I was little. It brings back memories. Life has its strange moments and its sweet moments.
The End
This story is for Luigi Rules 512 who wanted to know where the bathroom was, for Unstable Chemicals who wanted to know if Bowser sneezed and for Razzi who was the one who gave me the challange to write stories in POV.
