Lemmy's eyes were opened wide, and he was sitting completely still.

"What's with him?" Wendy asked.

"Tele… Tele… Tele…" Lemmy rambled.

"He's still stunned from when Larry made him watch Teletubbies," Iggy explained, shaking his head.

That's right! In retaliation for destroying his plants, Larry had pulled nasty tricks on all his sibs. He'd made Iggy wet himself, but Lemmy got the worst punishment of all… he had to watch Teletubbies. In the end, Larry had paid by not being allowed to grow plants ever again, but perhaps he hadn't been punished enough…

"Aw, snap out of it!" Roy wailed. He slapped Lemmy. Hard.

"Yow! I'm awake! I'm awake!" Lemmy looked around. "Thanks Roy, I needed that," he said, tenderly rubbing where Roy had hit him.

"No problem!" Roy said.

"Man, I'm scarred for life now!" Lemmy complained. "Now I think it's time I pulled a little bit of my prankster magic on Larry."

"What are you going to do?" Wendy asked, trembling slightly. Lemmy was going to have to do something really terribly, something downright despicable in order to top what Larry had done to him, and if he wanted to make up for all Larry had done…

"You know I never tell what I'm gonna do," Lemmy answered, turning away right after flashing a mischievous grin. "You'll find out when Larry does."

With that, Lemmy left the room. Morton tried to call after him, but his mouth was still caved in. Even that punishment wasn't as bad as the one Lemmy had received.

Lemmy started down the hallway immediately to Ludwig's lab to find something magical.  He then came across a bookshelf in the near corner of the room. “Hm, this looks like a good book,” he said to himself as he picked it up. “This book is perfect! I need to find a spell that's so bad, not even Larry himself could get out of it,” he said, almost tumbling over.

He then ran back to his own room where he searched through the book for good ideas.  He then went to a nearby table. “Teletubbies- I mean, here's a good spell,” he began as he searched for a place to sit. He then read on and noticed that this spell was no good.  He had to think up something better then this. So he skipped the spell book and searched high and low for something better. “How about… yes, I'll get all my sibs in on this so they can help me think up a plan. I mean, they got punished too,” he said as he gave an even bigger evil grin than before.

So Lemmy raced back to the main room where all his sibs were at the moment. “Um, may I have everyone's attention?” he began as he cleared his throat.

“What is it? My time is very valuable,” Roy said with an evil look in his eyes.

“Larry punished you all too,” Lemmy began as he took a step toward everyone. Then, in a loud, horrifying voice, “I just wanted to know, who's with me?"

Everyone stood up and started cheering him on. “What are we going to do?” Wendy said with a gleam in her eyes. Everyone stared quietly for Lemmy to answer.

While his siblings gathered around him in support, an idea suddenly snapped into Lemmy's head. It was a plan so evil, so diabolical that it might have been made up by Bowser himself, only then it would have been used against Mario or one of his flunkies. "Ok everyone," he started, "here's what we're gonna do…"

***

It was late at night, and everyone was sleeping- everyone, that is, except for Larry Koopa.

"Since I can't grow my plants anymore," Larry quietly reasoned to himself, "I can spend more time spying. Maybe it's for the best, seeing as how my plants were always destroyed anyhow."

Larry's first mission was a fairly harmless one: he was going into the kitchen to sneak a midnight snack. The walk to the kitchen was uneventful, and he found it empty. Larry opened the fridge and started looking for something tasty, finally settling on some frozen chocolate Goomnuts. But when he closed the door and turned around…

"Does King Dad know you are having a snack?" Roy asked, suddenly appearing behind the youngest Koopaling.

"Er… uh…" Larry stammered, unsure of how to handle the intruder. He couldn't understand why his sensitive hearing hadn't detected Roy coming.

"Just what were you going to do with that?" Roy pressed, motioning towards the Goomnuts.

"I was… uh… making sure we had some for my midday snack tomorrow," Larry answered as he turned back to the fridge and redeposited his would-be snack.

"Make sure of it," Roy grinned as he walked out of the kitchen.

Larry wiped his brow. "Whew!" he exclaimed. "That dungeon time must have made me a little rusty. I think I'll call it a night and give it a go again tomorrow."

Larry then left the kitchen and started up the stairs to his room. He went right to bed for a peaceful night's sleep. About an hour after Larry settled down in his bed, an alarm clock went off and Wendy came running into the room.

“It's time to get up, you only need so much sleep,” Wendy said as she started poking Larry in the arm.

“What? It's only 12:30 in the morning,” Larry said as he stared at his clock. Larry then climbed out of bed and tried to turn his light back off. Wendy jumped in front of the light and made it impossible for Larry to reach.

“I say you only get one hour of sleep per night,” Wendy said as she gave Larry a bad look. With this, Larry ran out of his room and back downstairs, where he decided to find the nearest couch to rest for the night.

“I wonder why all my siblings are acting so weird?” Larry said to himself as he yawned. He then stared at the ceiling until he fell asleep.

Morning…

It was a long night and Larry was just getting up off the couch when he noticed that he was all covered with chocolate Goomnuts. “How?" Larry said as he started wiping off the melted chocolate. All of a sudden Roy walked in.

“How did you sleep last night, little brother?” Roy said with a creepy-looking grin.

“Horrible, what's wrong with all of you anyway?” Larry said in a squeaky voice. Larry finally sat up and stared at Roy.

“Well if you have to know, it's pick on Larry week,” Roy said, grinning even more. Roy motioned toward Larry and punched him in the arm.

“Hey, leave me alone!” Larry said as he got off the couch.

“Oh, I would like you to know, you have warts all over your face,” Roy said as he left the room. Larry then moved to the kitchen. Larry walked over to a mirror and noticed he had warts all over his face.

“Ahh, my face!” Larry screamed as he reached for the soap. Larry's scream was so loud, Wendy came running into the kitchen.

“So, I guess you noticed the warts on your face,” Wendy said, laughing ever so slightly. “I wiped a frog on your face while you were asleep,” Wendy said as she started to leave the room. Larry then thought about how familiar this was to him. He left the room and never gave it a second thought. He then proceeded through the rest of the day, with nothing strange happening. But the next day…

“Ah, what a great new day!” Larry yawned as he woke up in his bed. He had forgotten about the problems of the previous night, and he didn't even mind about his face too much, reasoning that a spy shouldn't be seen anyway. He got out of bed and was about to go down to breakfast when he suddenly realized he needed the little Koopa's room. So he averted his course, but when he got to his destination…

“What the? Hey, this line is too long!” Larry complained. In front of him in line for the bathroom were Ludwig, Lemmy, and Morton. “Aw man, I really gotta go!”

“I agree,” Ludwig nodded. “It was not very intelligent of King Dad to construct a castle with only one lavatory.”

“Who's in there?” Larry asked, starting to hop around.

“Wendy,” Lemmy answered. “I hope you brought a magazine or something, because we could be here for a while.”

Time passed slowly. After a while, Morton picked up a jug of water he had with him and poured a glass for Lemmy, Ludwig, and himself. Larry winced at the sound of water hitting the bottom of the glass and at the sight of the water itself. “Would you care for some H2O?” Ludwig asked.

“No…” Larry moaned.

“Whoops, I spilled my water!” Lemmy said as he poured his glass of water on the floor. Morton promptly poured him another glass.

“How long has Wendy been in there?” Larry asked.

“I'd say about two hours,” Lemmy answered. In response they could hear the toilet in the bathroom flush, but still no one came out.

Time continued to pass without the line becoming any shorter, although Iggy joined the line behind Larry. Larry ended up as a huddled mass, eyes closed, on the floor. He didn't know how much longer he would last.

“Boo!” Iggy suddenly screamed. The shock caused Larry to lose it; he did his Luigi impression. Embarrassed, and now anxious to take a shower, Larry opened his eyes to see all of his siblings standing around him, laughing. Wendy was there too- she hadn't even been in the bathroom!

“What's going on here?” Bowser asked, suddenly appearing.

“Larry wet himself!” Iggy said, responding instantly. Larry couldn't say anything.

Bowser sighed. “Didn't I potty train you, Larry?” The other Koopalings giggled. “Come with me. It seems I will have to teach you again.” Larry, his face red as a tomato, had no choice but to follow his father into the bathroom.

Later…

After an hour of Larry's potty training session, he still felt very embarrassed and was hoping his siblings had forgotten all about it. He then decided to go back downstairs. On the way there Larry ran into Iggy, who was sitting right in the middle of the step reading a book. “Move!” Larry shouted. Iggy just looked up at Larry and kept on reading. “Didn't you hear me? I said move!” Larry shouted even louder.

“No!” Iggy said as he turned to the next page in his book. Larry finally walked around him and continued downstairs. Iggy then closed his book and threw it at Larry's head.

“Ouch!” Larry cried as he started rubbing his head. “Why'd you do that?" Larry questioned. Iggy just shrugged his shoulders and left. Larry then felt like he had a headache and went back upstairs to lay down. When he got to his room, it was ransacked. Everything was out of place and messed up.

Larry was in shock when he saw that all his stuff was thrown around his room. Then Bowser walked by and saw Larry's room was a mess. “Don't tell me you had a party?" Bowser said as he walked toward Larry. Larry took a step back toward his room.

“You don't think I did this, do you?" Larry said in a small voice. Bowser then grabbed Larry by the arm and walked him downstairs, where he made Larry sit down beside him. Then Bowser started giving him a lecture on how to keep a room clean.

Two hours later…

“And that's how a clean room is a happy room,” Bowser explained. By this time, Larry had fallen asleep in the chair after hearing Bowser's two-hour lecture. Bowser then left and Larry stayed sleeping peacefully.

Later that night…

"Hey, I said I would try spying again tonight!" Larry said as he jumped out of his chair. It was getting into the wee hours of the morning but Larry wasn't a bit tired since he had just slept for most of the afternoon. "I'll just go to my room and grab my sensory equiptment, then have some fun. My siblings deserve it anyway."

Larry ran upstairs and into his room. It was still a mess but that wasn't a concern at the moment. He opened his closet; it was supposed to be full of stuff but all that stuff was strewn around the floor. He walked to the back of the closet and said a secret password. This caused a small section of wall to move away, revealing a hand scanner. Larry put his hand on the scanner, then the wall moved away to reveal a safe. Larry typed in the code, then opened the heavy door. Inside he found his X-ray telescope and sound amplifier.

With equipment on shell, Larry trudged back into the main part of his room. He decided to start off with an easy assignment; he went to his wall and used his sound amplifier to listen into Morton's room. As he was finishing preparing the amplifer for use he realized that this was a silly idea since Morton couldn't talk anyway, but…

"I think Larry is such an idiot," Larry could hear Iggy saying.

"Yeah!" Wendy agreed. "Did you see how he wet himself today?" The Koopalings laughed and Larry turned red again.

"Siblings, I have devised a procedure to take advantage of Larry," Ludwig announced.

"What is it?" Lemmy eagerly asked.

"Yeah, what's the plan?" Roy demanded.

"Alright, here is the procedure," Ludwig started. Larry leaned even closer into the wall to make sure he could hear, but no more sound came through the amplifier.

"Stupid thing!" Larry shouted, throwing the amplifier to the floor. It broke on contact with the ground. Larry was a bit taken back; he hadn't realized he had thrown it that hard. Still, he was more concerned with finding out about Ludwig's plan, so he picked up his X-ray telescope and made his way out of the room. He knew that his sibs couldn't be near the wall of his room, otherwise he'd be able to hear them, so he intended to peer through the door to Morton's room instead of through his wall. Larry stepped out of his room-

KABOOM!

A time bomb went off! Larry's X-ray telescope was destroyed, and he was scorched himself. His hair turned black, then fell out.

Ludwig opened the door to Morton's room and stepped out. "Well well," he sneered, "it appears I have caught a small rodent!"

Larry, his eyes filling with tears, ran out of the castle. He spent the rest of the night sleeping restlessly in the fields.

In the morning…

Larry finally woke up in the middle of the fields and noticed he was all wet. “Oh no, I didn't have another accident?” Larry said as he looked around. The grass appeared to be all wet. “It must have rained last night,” he said as he started to get up. He then began to walk back to the castle and then noticed Bowser walking toward him.

“What are you doing out here so early in the morning?” Bowser asked. Larry just stood there looking at him. “What exactly happened to all your hair?” Bowser questioned. Larry was so embarrassed, he couldn't even speak. “Come on, I'm going to have to give you a lecture on how to take care of your physical hygiene,” Bowser said as he grabbed Larry's arm. Larry then followed his father inside and sat down for another two-hour lecture.

Two hours later…

“Now when your hair grows back, make sure you clean it and comb it good,” Bowser explained. Bowser then got up and walked toward the kitchen. Before he left the room he turned back toward Larry. “Oh, and we do have creams for them warts!” Bowser said as he began walking back to the kitchen. Larry, his face turning red again, left to his room.

He walked back upstairs where he started cleaning his room. “Why should I clean this, I didn't do it!” Larry said as he started throwing his stuff in his closet. When he finished he heard a loud sound coming out of Roy's room. “What?” Larry said as he started walking toward Roy's room. Larry picked up a drill and started drilling a hole into Roy's door.

He then looked inside. He didn't see anything except Roy. Roy was just laying on his bed reading the sports section of the newspaper. Then Larry noticed a ball and chain swinging down on him. Larry, fearing for his brother's life, came crashing through the door and pushing Roy out of the way. Then the ball and chain fell on top of Larry, crushing his entire body.

“Ouch!” Larry said as he started pulling himself up. Roy then stared at him and started laughing. Larry finally got up and started to go back to his room. Not walking very well, Larry had to crawl instead.

Later…

Larry was making his way down for lunch in a wheelchair since he was too weak to walk. “Man that ball and chain had been heavy!” he said to himself. “And what was Roy doing laughing at me? I just saved his life! Well he'll pay the next time he needs my help.”

Larry reached the dining room and was amazed at what he saw. All of his siblings were in there eating mounds of food so high that some of them touched the roof. “How much food are you eating?!” he asked, amazed.

“None of us had breakfast,” Iggy answered as he stuffed some food into his face.

“Oh, yeah, that explains it,” Larry scoffed. The only empty spot at the table was next to Morton, so he rolled his chair into it. He was glad he had pulled that alum prank because now Morton couldn't talk to him. “Waiter!” he called, banging loudly on the table.

“Yes, Master Larry?” a waiter, hurriedly appearing, responded.

“Get me a tuna salad, and make it snappy!”

“Yes sir.” The waiter ran off, then came back in one minute.

“Wow, that was even faster than I expected! Good job.”

“Err, Master Larry, I'm afraid we are all out of tuna salad.”

“Really? Oh, well that's too bad. Ok, then I'd like a bowl of mushroom soup.”

“Err, uh…”

“You're out of that too? Fine, fine, then I'll just have-“

“Master Larry, there is no more food in the kitchen.”

“What?!” Larry shouted. “What happened to all the food?”

“Well… uh…” The waiter gestured to what was on the table.

“Oh, yeah,” Larry realized. “Hey Roy,” he called, hoping that his older brother would realize that his life had been spared, “mind sharing some of your food? I doubt you could eat it all anyway.”

“Watch me,” Roy said simply, shoveling more food into his face.

“Wendy?” Larry pleaded.

“Don't think so!” she stopped chewing long enough to say.

“Well someone has to have some extra food!” Larry snapped. In response Morton handed him a can of some liquid. “Is this some kind of soup?” the ravenous Larry asked. “Whatever, it will have to do.” Larry got a spoon and ate the soup. Then his mouth caved in.

“Alum… works every time,” read the sign Morton was holding up.

“MMM! MMM!” Larry moaned. He rolled screaming from the table.

Larry felt a little better after he was used to having alum in his mouth. He couldn't eat so he then went to the lounge to watch TV.

Back in the kitchen…

“Hahaha!” Lemmy laughed as he got up. All the Koopalings then started to laugh with him. “Let's get him!” Lemmy shouted as he started toward the lounge.

In the lounge…

Larry was still watching TV, not noticing anyone had walked in. Lemmy crawled toward Larry's wheelchair and got a rope and tied Larry so he couldn't move. Lemmy then saw the remote control and changed the channel to the Teletubbies.

Larry just sat there staring, his eyes completely still, not moving. Then Lemmy left the room before it affected him again.

After the horror was over, Lemmy turned off the TV and Larry still sat there not moving or blinking. “Larry!” Lemmy said as he walked toward him. Larry's brain had rotted and there was nothing left.

Bowser then walked in and noticed Larry was not moving. “What's with him?” Bowser asked Lemmy. Lemmy just shrugged his shoulders and left the room. Bowser, not knowing what to do, called the ambulance to take his son to the hospital.

At the hospital…

"Will he live?" Bowser asked anxiously.

"This is the worst case of the measles I've ever seen," the doctor answered. "But he'll be fine. It's nothing to worry about."

Just then Larry sat up, screamed, and shook all over. As quickly as it started Larry's hysterical fit died down and he returned to his coma-like state.

"It's nothing to worry about," the doctor repeated.

Bowser shrugged and left the room. Then the doctor pulled off his costume to reveal Lemmy on top of Iggy on top of Ludwig. "Great work team!" Lemmy cheered.

Morton, Wendy, and Roy, who had also been posing as hospital workers, came out of disguise as well. "I think that'll show 'im!" Roy summed it up.

The six older Koopalings left the room, but Larry stayed there for the next five years, alternating between silent sleep and sudden spasms. He was finally released but… well, let's not say he was as good as new.

"Tele… Tele… Tele…"

"Larry, shut up!"
