Tossed Salad
 
By Lemmy Koopa

Wendy walked into the throne room to meet with Bowser.  She was in a very good mood, so she decided to be polite for once.  “You called, King Dad?” she asked.

Bowser nodded.  He cleared his throat and said, “Wendy, because you may be a wife someday, you need to learn how to cook.  The usual cook is sick today, so-”

“I LOVE TO COOK!” exclaimed Wendy, jumping up and down.

Bowser smiled.

Wendy turned and bounced out of the room, babbling, “I'm gonna make a steak, and linguini, and a cake, and shrimp, and garlic mashed potatoes, and...”

Bowser clutched his throat and gagged.

Later that day...

The other Koopa Kids were horrified to hear that Wendy was going to cook.

“You expect me to eat her cooking?” gasped Iggy.

Lemmy became so rigid that his ball popped beneath him and he fell to the floor.

Roy fainted.

Ludwig ran away screaming.

Morton tried to speak but couldn't get any sound out of his mouth.

“Tough darts!” growled Bowser.  “You may eat her cooking, or you may leave.”  He glared at Larry, the only one who had not yet made a complaint.

“I think I'll stay,” declared Larry.  “Wendy can't possibly ruin a salad.  Can she?”

“Of course not,” smiled Bowser.

“Well I'm leaving!” snapped Iggy, the only other Koopaling still composed enough to speak.

“Fine,” sighed Bowser.  “Just don't insult your sister.”

That night...

Morton, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig tiptoed onto Ludwig's super speedy emergency doomship and took off.  They flew to a fast food restaurant and had an experience similar to the one Lemmy had in “Fast Food”.

Bowser, who had decided he had made a mistake in letting Wendy cook, tried to sneak off as well, but Wendy spotted him on her way to the kitchen, and he was forced to stay.

Wendy put on a ruby-covered pink apron and walked into the dining room.  She was disappointed to see only Bowser and Larry.  Clawdia had muttered something about laundry and had disappeared somewhere, and Bagels and Playful had the fortunate excuse of always being fed just before bedtime.

Wendy walked over to Bowser and asked, “What is your pleasure, sir?”

Bowser thought quickly and said, “I had a large breakfast this morning and I am not hungry.  A glass of water will be fine.”

Wendy frowned and blinked up a glass of water.  Still hoping to be able to cook, she walked over to Larry and asked, “What is your pleasure, sir?”

Larry smiled and said, “I would like a salad with as many different vegetables as you have.  No salad dressing, please.”

Wendy was disappointed that Larry had not ordered something fancier, but decided it was better than nothing.  She curtsied and went back to the kitchen.  There, she chopped up a tomato, a cucumber, a carrot, and some lettuce.  She added some dates, nuts, and various other vegetables as well.  When she was done, Wendy looked up at the salad to conclude that it looked boring.  She decided to top it off with some nicely-arranged parsley and some pepper.  Unfortunately, Wendy had forgotten that Larry was allergic to pepper.

Wendy returned to the dining room, curtsied, and served Larry the salad.  He smiled, took a bite of lettuce, made a face similar to the one he made in “Gopher Bash”, and threw up.

Wendy smiled and exclaimed, “Look! I've invented the tossed salad!”

Larry tried to say the appropriate line but was too sick to speak. Bowser picked up line and said, “Sorry, but Mario already invented it (In “King Scoopa Koopa”).” Larry nodded in agreement.

“Rats!” pouted Wendy.

Bowser passed out from the poisoned water which Wendy had accidentally given him.
