A Dinnertime Disaster

By Wendy

The Koopalings sat at the table in the Koopa dining room. Bowser came in wearing a tuxedo.

"I’m taking your mother on a date tonight," said Bowser. He held up a large silver wand. "This is the magic dinner wand. When you decide what you want, think about the food and wave the wand at the table." Bowser left.

A Koopa wearing glasses picked up the wand first. "I think we should have steak," the kid said thoughtfully.

The owner of Water Land pushed the first Koopaling out of the way. "I vote for seafood," the Koopaling announced.

A third Koopaling kicked an object that was always with him at the second Koopaling. The second Koopaling fell down and the third Koopaling grabbed the wand. "Let’s have Chinese," the Koopa suggested.

A fourth Koopa snatched away the wand. "We are going to have sandwiches," the Koopaling yelled.

"Hey, baldie!" shouted a kid who had not yet had the wand. The angry Koopaling rushed to pound his younger sibling. The sibling dodged, slipped the wand out of the older Koopalings hand, and said, "Tonight’s dinner will be vegetarian."

The Koopaling was about to wave the wand when another Koopaling, who also had blue hair, stepped over. The Koopaling easily took the wand from his younger brother and said simply, "Pizza."

The only Koopaling who had not yet had the wand punched the current wand holder in the stomach. The wand was easily stolen and the Koopaling said, "I want hamburgers."

"Oh, yeah, star-face?" challenged another Koopa. The Koopaling held up their own magic wand.

"Uh-oh," said the holder of the silver wand. The Koopaling dropped the wand and ran to escape a laser beam. The challenger picked up the dinner wand.

By this time, the other kids had gone to get their magic wands. One of the dinner wand holder’s older siblings chased the holder. The holder had almost escaped when one of their shoes fell off.

"Drat," said the Koopaling. The kid went back to retrieve the shoe and handed the dinner wand to the pursuer.

The rainbow haired pursuer walked back to the dining room, ready to prepare a feast. A younger Koopaling who wanted a very different kind of meal snuck up behind the dinner wand holder and attacked.

"Help!" called the holder. The other Koopaling snatched the wand and immediately pointed it at the table.

"Insult me, will you?" chuckled another Koopaling. The Koopa knocked the dinner wand holder to the floor and pried the wand out of the other Koopaling’s grasp. The new owner of the wand smiled. The Koopa did not notice a younger sibling come into the room. The sibling zapped the dinner wand holder with their own magic wand.

"Ouch," said the Koopa, falling to the floor. The younger Koopaling picked up the wand and tried to remember their dinner of choice.

Just as the Koopaling remembered and was about to conjure up some hamburgers, another Koopaling ran into the room. The Koopaling jumped. As the Koopa landed, the floor shook. While the wand holder was still to surprised to move, the new arrival grabbed the dinner wand. The Koopaling was sure that dinner would be something tasty.

The one Koopaling who had only had the dinner wand once entered the room. The Koopaling clunked the dinner wand holder over the head with a magic wand. The other Koopa fell to the floor. The attacker picked up the wand, thought about a dinner, and pointed the wand at the table. In a few seconds food appeared.

What will the Koopalings have for dinner?
