Authors note: This chapter picks up a few years after the last.

Bowser was walking through the high school hallways, when a dude in a leather jacket pushed him into the locker to his right, and started calling him names, and pushing him around.

Bully: "What's your kind doing in his school? Do you think your better than the rest?"

Bowser didn't answer

Bully: "Answer me loser." he pushed Bowser

"Leave him alone Henry."

Henry: "Mind your own business, plumber."

"He's my friend, so that makes it my business."

Henry: "Okay." He threw a punch, which the stranger dodged, and kicked him down.

"Now, are you gonna play nice?"

Henry got up, and threw another punch, but was once again dodged by the stranger "Stop moving idiot." he punched again, and missed

"Okay."

Henry threw another punch, which the stranger caught, Henry he threw a punch with his left fist, which the stranger caught as well, Henry Kicked, and the stranger side stepped it.

"Enough playing around." The stranger shoved Henry on the ground, and pulled him into a hogtie position, and sat on him.

"Mario!", a searing voice boomed threw the hall "What are you doing on top of him?"

Mario: "He was bullying my friend Mr. Fernandez."

Fernandez: "And that justifies sitting on him?"

Mario: "No, he was trying to fight me, I haven't thrown one punch, the camera will be my witness."

Fernandez: "Well, meet me in my office, and we'll see, that goes for you two as well." He said this as he was pointing at Bowser and Henry.

In The Office

Fernandez: "You told me the truth Mario, but I still need to give you a punishment for kicking him down, and throwing him on the grown."

Mario: "And I'll gladly take that punishment."

Mr. Fernandez looked bewildered "I've never had a student be so excited about cleaning the bathrooms before."

Mario: "Well, it just so happens that my job is doing exactly that."

Fernandez: "Oh, well I did not know that, hmm guess i'll have to think of a different punishment."

Mario: "Well, I'll do anything you need me to do."

Fernandez: "Umm, that's not what a punishment is meant to be about, and I don't know any other punishments, besides detention, but that'll go on your permanent record, and I don't want that."

Mario: "Soo, am I cleaning the bathrooms, on the fifth hall?"

Fernandez: "Sure, I have nothing else."

Mario walked out of the office, and was greeted by Bowser who said "Thank you for helping me earlier."

Mario: "No problem, no one will bother you now, knowing your my friend."

Bowser: "Yeah, it'll be great to not be constantly harassed by people."

Mario: "Ignore them bro, they've got nothing better to do."

Bowser nodded, and walk into the office.

Mario jogged to the fifth hall, where his punishment was waiting, but he wasn't excited to clean the toilets, his girlfriend, Annebeth's class was on that hell, and his punishment includes, both the Female, and Male restrooms.

"Slow down!", a teacher called after him

He slowed to a fast walk, but kept going, when he reached the bathrooms he chose to do the female bathroom first, he knocked on the door, and called "Any girls that are in there, I have to clean this bathroom."

After a minute of waiting four blonde girls walked out, and when they noticed him they started giggling, he stepped into the bathroom, and was hit with the smell of perfume, and female deodorant. He pinched his nose, and walked into the room, and after a few minutes when his nose got sorta used to the smell he decided to text Annabeth.

Texts

Mario: "Hey. babe I'm cleaning the girls restroom on your hall."

Annabeth: "Your doing what!?"

Mario: "It's a punishment."

Annabeth: "Why are you being punished!?"

Mario: "I'll explain when you get here."

Annabeth: "Okay!? I'll be there in a sec!"

After a few minutes of waiting she walked into the bathroom

Annabeth: "What happened."

Mario gave her a quick rundown of what happened.

Annabeth: "So, you kicked a guys ass, because he was beating up one of our friends?"

Mario: "Yeah, pretty mu-" she kissed him, and after a couple of seconds let him go, he stepped back in shock

Annabeth: "Sorry, I should've warned you-" Mario cut her off

Mario: "No, no, that was… Amazing."

She blushed: "Really, that was my first kiss."

Mario: "Same."

After they calmed down from sharing their first kisses together, they talked while Mario cleaned the bathroom, once he'd finished they hugged and she went to leave

Mario: "Hey, if the teacher asks, tell her a guy was cleaning and took forever, which is true."

She nodded, and left, he rechecked the bathroom, and headed to the male restroom, and before he stepped in, he knew his nose was about to die, the odor was bad outside the room, he couldn't imagine the odor inside, he eventually manned up, and step in, and regretted it as soon as he did it, because the smells were awful, the restroom smelt like a gorilla pen, that hadn't been clean in a few months.

A guy walked in "Well, if it isn't the plumber who beat up Henry."

Mario: "Look, I don't know what rumors you heard, but I didn't beat him up, I pinned him to the ground, quite easily too."

The dude said: "Well, he wasn't that strong to begin with, how about you try me, and see if i'm as weak as that fool."

Mario: "Look Nash, I've got a job to do, and I don't need your bullshit right now, so please leave."

Nash: "Oh, sure, i'll go but i'll tell everybody that you chickened out."

Mario dropped his mop, walked up the Nash and said "I don't throw the punched I counter them."

Nash chuckled: "Ok, dodge this.", he threw a punch which hit Mario in the stomach, "And this." He uppercutted Mario sending him crashing into the wall.

Mario wiped his mouth: "Okay, guess it's time to change my fighting style.", he stood up, and kicked Nash back, then kicked off the stall to his right, and punched Nash across the face, then stepped back.

Mario: "Do you want anymore?"

Nash laughed: "You call those attack's?", he lounged at Mario, and who let himself be pinned against the wall, because at the moment

"NASH! What the hell are you doing."

Nash: "Mrs, Mrs Sanders, I… I was-"

Sanders: "You were just beating up a student, who had already got into a fight today."

Mario pushed Nash off him, his face was bloody, and he had a gash in his arm, "Mrs. Sanders, can I go to the nurse please?"

Sanders: "Yes, boy, that might be a good idea." she looked at Nash "And you follow me."

Mario pass Annabeth's classroom, who obviously noticed him, since her desk was in front of the door, he continued walking though, but stopped when she called his name from behind, he turned

Annabeth: "Mario what happened?"

Mario: "Nash, jumped me while I was cleaning the restroom, i'm going to the nurse, are you coming?"

Annabeth: "Of course, let me inform Mrs. Thompson first, wait here please."

She took 30 seconds, and then they were walking together towards the nurse's room

Fernandez: "Mario, What happened?" he followed Mario, who didn't answer him

Annabeth: "Nash beat him up, because of the fight from earlier."

Fernandez nodded, but still followed.

In the nurse's office

Nurse: "These are some bad injuries Mario, your lucky you came to me quickly."

Mario nodded, and after she patched him up, he call Emilia, to come pick him, Bowser, and Annabeth from school. After 30 minutes she arrived.

Emilia: "Why'd you call me Mario, what about your parents?"

Mario: " they're in Hawaii."

Emilia: "What happened to you, did you get into a fight?"

Mario: "Yeah, I got into two fights."

Emilia asked once they were all in the car: "Who's this fine lady, Mario."

Mario: "That's Annabeth, she's my girlfriend."

Emilia: "Oh, well it's nice to meet you, I'm Bowser's mom."

Annabeth nodded: "Nice to meet you."

They drove back to Emilia's house and Annabeth called her parents to inform them what was going on, and that she was going to stay with her boyfriend and his friend for the next week.

Up in Bowser's room

Bowser was playing Metal Gear Solid 3 "Snake Eater", Mario and Annabeth were sitting on the mattress Emilia put in there for Mario, and Annabeth were cuddling with while they were watching a horror movie.

Mario: "You okay?"

Annabeth who was trembling said: "I'm just scared."

Mario: "Don't worry, i'm here, nothing will bother you."

Bowser: "Mario, how do you beat this boss?"

Mario looked over and noticed that Bowser was in the middle of "The Sorrow" boss fight: "Your not actually dead, take use the revival tooth."

Bowser: "Oh, okay man I feel dumb, thank you."

Mario: "No problem."

Bowser: "You two gonna share a mattress?"

Mario: "Yeah, is that weird to you?"

Bowser: "No, I was just gonna say, have fun."

Annabeth: "We, will."

Mario blushed: "Huh? Annabeth what do you mean?"

Annabeth, we're gonna watch chick flicks."

Mario: "Oh, alright."

Bowser laughed a little, then received a text from Mario

Mario's text: "I'm gonna watch you play Metal Gear games."

Bowser text back: "Alright, lol."...
