Jr sighed with relief when it turned out that yes, the old sea captain did have medicine on board his ship, which was very sensible of him. To an extent jr’d gotten used to Blazermate, and then Kamek, being around to provide healing, but as the boy administered the concoction he mentally added “healing stuff” to the list of things he should pick up from the alleyway when he went there next. 

After he’d given her the potion all that there was to do was wait and hope she recovered. As they were waiting the long anticipated arrival of the Princess Peach occurred, along with [color=SpringGreen]”Papa!”[/color] Jr cried out upon seeing his, slightly different looking thanks to the double fusion but still very recognizable, father arriving alongside the princess. He hopped down from the fishing ship and sprinted over and then jumping up to give his dad a hug

[color=FD0000]”Wow, hey there Junior”[/color] the king said as he caught his son in his arms and returned the embrace

[color=SpringGreen]”I thought you’d be gone longer! Did you beat the dead zone’s boss already?”[/color] Jr asked as he dropped back down again. 

[color=FD0000]”Ahh not quite. We cleared the way, but the palace is gonna explode real soon so we’re gonna let that blow over on its own. Heard you’ve been pretty busy over here too”[/color] Bowser explained, before noticing [color=FD0000]”Uh. is she ok?”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”She should be now. Briny Beard had some medicine that I gave her. She just got beat up by her rival though so...”[/color] Jr told him without needing to elaborate on the last point as the  king nodded understandingly in response. That kind of thing wasn't something you just got over even after the twentieth time. Especially after the twentieth time

[color=SpringGreen]”But yeah, we’ve been busy. First, I got tyrant and then ”[/color] Jr started running his dad, and anyone else in earshot as a byproduct, through what they’d all been up to that day. The two strolled back to the fishing boat as Peach worked her magic and de-abyssalised Ranger, rejoining the conversation as the matter of getting their new friends a change of clothes to let them slip into the town came up. 

[color=SpringGreen]”There’s still the metal bits.”[/color] Jr pointed out [color=SpringGreen]”Can’t really hide those under a dress or whatever... Maybe we can paint them to look more friendly? Or just less abyssal so people don't realize that’s what they are.”[/color]

[color=FD0000]”If you're going to do that maybe don't use your brush and stick with normal paint”[/color] The Bowser told him seriously.

[color=SpringGreen]”Aah ha ha, yeah um.”[/color] Jr laughed embarrassedly before continuing [color=SpringGreen]”Or I mean, maybe we can cover them with cloth in a different way. Like a tarp? I don't know. Be easier if we just had some spirits, bet we could get you legs working and change the metal stuff a bunch with them, but it’s not like you can just go into town and get some like you can with gear and clothes and stuff”[/color] the prince said, the method Sephiroth was in the middle of using to do just that not even crossing his mind, before scratch the back of his head thoughtfully and accidentally tapped his ponytail with his Brachydios wrist horn. 

[color=SpringGreen]”hmmm”[/color] he hummed contemplatively. He’d have to think about it, but that was somewhere they could get spirits from, and he was really sure that Rika would look super cool with that one in her. 

The boy also had to laugh at Peach's indirect way of suggesting Bowser carry Bella around till she found a way to get land legs. The comment went right over the head of its intended recipient however, till Jr told the princess [color=SpringGreen]”I’ve already carried Rika around a bunch today already! Papa’s not the only one who’s got the muscle for that kind of thing”[/color] while giving a flex, that his dad caught on.

[color=FD0000]”Ohhh.”[/color] the king said in comprehension before floundering for a recovery [color=FD0000]”Uh I mean”[/color] before  earnestly cheering on jr [color=FD0000]”Yeah that’s my son! Those guns run in the family”[/color], before giving his own flex and a hearty laugh, which was cut off by the sudden and luminous detonation of the Deadzone.

[color=FD0000]”Well,”[/color] Bowser said at last as the light finally died down, [color=FD0000]” super glad we didn't stick around. Annoying we couldn't get its power but, eh. Whatever. It’s great  to be rid of that awful place.”[/color] 

[color=FD0000]”Anyway, who wants dinner!”[/color] The King said, after everyone had gotten over witnessing the vaporization of an entire city, holding up a few bags that all held the closest the bar had been able to supply to takeaway boxes.

[color=SpringGreen]”oh boy, gimmy”[/color] jr cheered, eagerly accepting a bag of dishes picked especially for him by his dad. 

Rika, who’d been sitting patiently next to Sakura and monitoring her condition, perked up as the smell wonderful from Jr’s bag hit her. “What is that?” she asked 

[color=SpringGreen]”It’s mine”[/color] Jr tried to say protectively though a mouthful of cheese burger, this was the good stuff he wasn't giving it away, but his father calmly spoke over him, letting people know [color=FD0000]”I brought enough for everyone. I think. You two have got a lot of mouths. Also I didn't know what anyone else liked so I just got a bunch of stuff,”[/color]

The various types of junk food Bowser had gotten from the bar was exactly a highbrow introduction to human cuisine, but as the cruiser devoured everything set before her it was certainly an enjoyable one. If the ship had had any second thoughts left as to where her loyalties should lie whatsoever, those last little embers where completely wiped away by a plate of fish and chips.
