In the jungle, on a river was a riverboat was sailing on the raging river.

And on the boat was a eager, wild spirited Australian explorer named Natalia.

She wore an explorer's outfit with knee high black boots and had short black hair and her eyes were blue.

She around admiring the jungle, "the jungle holds so many secrets, I must explore then all but the men in the boat find her love if adventure too much.

"Ma'am I'm not so sure it's a good idea with predators out there"

But it wasn't enough to stop Natalia, she rolled her eyes and faced the crew.

"You men just Don't seem to have a backbone, now forward, adventure is calling us" she points out as they pulled full steam ahead.

But suddenly...the boat started rocking, "ah" Natalia and her crew trembled.

"What the dicker doo was that?" Natalia asked.

"It's the rapids ma'am, they are getting stronger"

she tries to stand her ground when the rapids rock the boat, she holds onto the railings.

"Ma'am we need to turn back now"

"No! Not when we are just inches away from a great adventure"

"But the rapids are getting too strong, at this point we being head to oblivion"

"It's too dangerous to travel these unsafe waters"

"We need to turn back now, before we get taken to the waterfalls"

"We're staying...as long as it takes"

Just then they were heading straight towards sharp rocks, the boat gets scraped and scratched, having holes in the boat then water started pouring in, Natalia looks down as the water touches her boots.

"Ma'am, the current it's getting worst"

"Steady now, we'll be fine"

But then a fogged rolled in, and the river rocked the boat some more then when fogged cleared.

They see the waterfalls, Natalia gasped, "everyone hold on tight" she screams as she holds to the railings.

But when the boat fell down the waterfalls, it crashed into some pointy rocks...there were no survivors.

Except for Natalia who survived the waterfalls, the last thing she remembered was drowning underwater then she passed out.

But then as she continues to sink deep in the water, something grabbed her.

She coughed out the water and the last thing she saw was something carrying her, she was still woozy from the crash but the pinky thing she saw was a blurry figure carrying her then she passed out.

The next thing she knew, she was in a room, the sounds of fire crackling woke her up as she felt warm.

"Ugh" she moans when she rubs her head and sees she was on a bed and looking around, it appears she was in someplace familiar.

But as she looks around, "oh good"

"Ah" she gets startled when she hears a strange voice, she turns around to see A blue-robed Magikoopa Koopa magician.

She was freaked out at first, "you finally awaken" he says.

"What are you? Who are you?" She asked as she continues to keep her distance.

"Do not be afraid child, I am kamek and the king wishes to see you"

Then she settled down, "king you say" she was intrigued.

"Is he handsome?"

"Oh. very"

He takes her downstairs where are the throne, her eyes widen when she sees a large turtle with spikes on his shell.

She was horrified at first til he walks towards her.

"What is your name?" He asked.

"Natalia?" She answered.

"I'm not sure you know who I am but I am bowser, king of the koopas"

"What are koopas?" She asked.

"Why there are right behind you?" He pointed as she turns around to see a troop of koopa soldiers standing right behind her.

"Ah" she backs up into bowser.

He chuckles, "relax my dear, they aren't going to hurt, not unless I tell them to"

She walks around his castle with him, "how did I get here?" She said.

"I found you floating in the waters and I brought you here, what brings you here?"

"Well, I was exploring the jungle, I'm an explorer I love to see things, when the rapids got too strong and my boat crashed in a waterfall"

"Oh, you like to explore"

"Yes I'm an explorer it's what I do"

"Would you like to see something amazing"

She nodded but had a bad, his castle landed to Ancient Gardens Tended by Futuristic Machines.

When Natalia steps out and sees the wooded kingdom, she was amazed.

"Wow, what is this place" she steps down and bowser smiled.

"This is the wooded kingdom" bowser says.

She was bewildered when she walks up to the building but bowser holds her back.

"Wait?"

"Oh...what?"

She looks Down to see a gap between them and the other side of the building, bowser waited then a flower road emerged from the ground and makes them a bridge to cross.

"Whoa!" She looks down at the bridge but was unsure if it was safe to walk on.

"Are you Sure this is safe?" She asked when she sees bowser walking on the bridge.

"It'll be fine...I promise"

"Well" she hesitated till he held his claw out for her and when she saw his eyes.

"Don't you trust me"

It was something about his eyes that made her trust him, so she takes his claw.

And once they reach to the top, they walked inside the drone and she saw the most glorious sight.

"Wow" she saw a field of white lily-like flowers.

Amazed by the beauty of it, she walked out into the field, scoops up the flowers then throws them up in the air.

"What are these?"

"It's called the Soiree Bouquet, the famous Steam Gardens Soirée Bouquet. features giant white flowers that charm all who lay eyes on it. As you might guess from the name, it's by far the most popular bouquet for wedding ceremonies, sought after by wedding planners the world over" bowser explains.

"Where did they come from?" Natalia asked.

"Visitors are welcomed not only by the humid air, but worker robots tending the flowers. They're known as Steam Gardeners, longtime residents of the kingdom. You'll be impressed at how long they can work without rest"

"Wow, that's amazing but where did they come from"

"No one knows who built the giant machines dotting this land, but today the Steam Gardeners use them to maintain the greatest flower gardens in the world. The giant dome is climate-controlled and apparently self-sufficient, operating with no maintenance since ancient times, the workers maintain themselves perfectly. But beyond being hard workers, the robots love flowers—some grow them right out of their heads! You'll feel the Steam Gardeners' warm hearts, from their flowers and also their internal steam pumps"

He stares at Natalia as he bewitched by her beauty.

But there are other things out more beautiful then the Soiree Bouquet.

She turns to him then looks around, "this is most impressive"

"This is amazing but there is a whole universe out there to discover" bowser looks up at the sky and she looks up to see the stars, then she turns to him, their hands touched.

Time passed, and in the wooded kingdom, Natalia explored the forest with bowser, it warmed his heart to see a girl finally understanding him.

It wasn't long till they started to get real close and....Natalia was falling for him.

Then one day, he decided to surprise her with a picnic in the woods, they were walking when she came across a piranha plant.

"Wow" she was about to touch it when bowser stopped her.

"Natalia no!" He grabs her hand.

"What? Whats wrong"

"That plant is poisonous" he points down to the purple goo below her then when the piranha spits out purple poison, he pulls her out of the way.

"Oh my"

"Yeah It's best if you steer clear of them"

"I wonder where they came from"

He takes her up a hill where down below was a valley of dazzling pink roses.

"Wow, that is beautiful"

Bowser chuckles, "I take it you never seen flowers like these before"

"No where I'm from, flowers never shine like these ones"

"Where are you from?" He asked.

"Oh where I'm from It's called the outback"

"Do you have flowers in the outback"

"No but I always wanted to explore the works to see what wonders it holds" she sits next to him.

"I Can give you that Natalia, i Can show you the World"

"Really"

"I just need one thing from you" he stares deeply in her eyes as he used his claw to brush her hair back.

"What's that" she stared directly at him.

"I want you to-"

But just then a orchid Lilly like monster plant sprouted from the ground.

It's razor mouth smiled then licked its lips as it looks at Natalia.

Both Natalia and bowser panicked, "run Natalia, protect her" bowser called out his army and winged Koopas swooped down and threw spears at the plant.

Natalia panicked as she ran but then tentacle like vines emerged and they swat the Koopas away like flies.

Natalia ran. She looked back when a tentacle vine grabs her leg, pulling her directly towards it.

She fell and panicked as she tries to grab on the ground.

"Natalia" bowser panicked then he charged at the monster plant and punches it.

It hissed at him but he grabs the bottom jaw and the upper jaw to keep it from bitting him.

Then Natalia was losing her grip then she grabs on to a tree as she hangs on tight.

She tightened her grip then bowser punched the plant's jaw, it fell back but as it does.

It lets go of Natalia but she was sent falling down and the plant swallowed her whole.

"NO!" Bowser reach out but was already too late.

Falling down was the only thing left of her, a necklace with a seashell.

Bowser was enrage that he fired up his fire breath and disintegrated the plant monster.

And once the plant turns to ashes, bowser walks over to the necklace and scoops it up, he looks at it then he shuts his eyes and cries.

"No!"

He retreated to his castle and sitting on his throne, looking at the necklace reminds him of her, and what makes it worse was he was going to ask her to marry him.

But it looks like he lost another bride...but he soon finds he gain something even better.

"Sire" he saw kamek came in as he looked shocked about something.

"You might wanna see this, we found it in Natalia's room"

"Huh?" Bowser was curious as he entered his room, he saw on her bed was a egg.

He holds it, "she gave me a child"

Then the egg hatched and a Koopaling was born: this koopaling  had a blue mohawk and a typical Koopa-like body. He has a Bowser-like snout and mouth and his mouth has sharp teeth in it, his shell is blue with spikes on it just like his dad but had Natalia's eyes.

"although Natalia is gone, she gave me a child"

"What shall you call him sire"

"Larry Cheatsy Koopa"
