It was a day at school. Ludwig was feeling tired for the fourth consecutive day. He didn't know why but he just was. In two days was the big school dance. Ludwig invited a Koopa named Jesse. He was very excited but he hoped he would't be tired.

Principal: We see you've been falling asleep lately in class. Have you gotten a good night’s rest?

Ludwig: I'm sure I have, sir. But for some reason I keep feeling drowsy and tired.

Principal: We suggest you get a good night’s rest tonight. A long night’s rest.

Ludwig: I will, sir.

At Gym

Gym Teacher: Ok guys. That’s enough for today. Go to your gym lockers.

Student: Hey Ludwig, I’ve heard you have gotten sleepy in class for a while.

Ludwig: Tell me about it!

Student: Well,  these pills here will keep you from going to sleep.

Ludwig: I'm not taking drugs!

Student: No no! They will keep you from going to sleep. But only take one at a time, ok?

Ludwig: Well, I do want to stay awake at the dance. Ok, I will take them.

Student: They are free.

Ludwig: Thanks!

At Home

Lemmy: Hey Ludwig, I'm coming to the school dance with you!

Ludwig: Cool! You going with anyone?

Lemmy: Yep!

Ludwig: Cool! Let’s go.

A chauffeur drives Lemmy and his date and Ludwig and his date to the dance.

Lemmy: Hey Ludwig, are those vitamins in your pocket?

Ludwig: None of your business!

Zoe (Lemmy's date): Can't you tell Lemmy what they are?

Ludwig: No!

Lemmy: I haven’t taken my vitamins lately.

Ludwig: Sorry, but you can't have these.

Lemmy: Fine!

At the Dance

Ludwig: Hey, I don't feel sleepy! I didn't even take those pills! Whoopie!

Lemmy: Oh man! I need my vitamins.

Jesse (Ludwig's date): Care to dance Ludwig?

Ludwig: Sure!

Ludwig leaves the pills on the table.

Lemmy: Ahhh, there are those vitamins. Be right back, Zoe! I need a full dose!

Lemmy takes all the pills, which he thinks are vitamins.

Lemmy: Much better! I'm ready to dance, Zoe!!!!

Zoe: Ok!

Ludwig: I’ll be right back, Jesse.

Ludwig: There is my pill bottle. It’s empty!

Lemmy: Hey Ludwig isn't this the best dance I mean the greatest dance ever well got to go byhe.

Ludwig: Lemmy is acting very lively right now. Gasp! The pills! Lemmy, stop! We need to get you to a hospital!

Lemmy: But Ludwig I'm having a great time!

Ludwig: You don't understand! Those pills you took…

While Ludwig is talking Lemmy faints and looks dead.

Everyone: GASP!!!!!!

Ludwig: We need a docter! Quick! Help!

At the Hospital

Lemmy: Ohhhhh. Thanks for helping me Lu- Ludwig! You saved my li- li- life!

Ludwig: It’s all my fault! Now I realize those weren't medical pills! Those were drugs!

Lemmy: Drugs?!

Ludwig: Please forgive me! But you shouldn't just take things lying around! You’re lucky I saved you or else you probably would have died!

Bowser and the rest of the family arrive.

Bowser: Oh Lemmy! Are you ok?

Lemmy: Ludwig saved my life.

Bowser: Ludwig, I'm so proud of you for coming to Lemmy's rescue!

Ludwig: Well, uh…

Larry: You’re a hero!

Iggy: You okay bro?

Lemmy: Yeah. I think I will be okay.

Docter: Lemmy Koopa here took an overdose of drugs. You’re lucky that your other son came to his rescue or he would have died for sure!

Lemmy: Oh my!

Bowser: I will talk to you later, Lemmy. For now I'm giving Ludwig a great present when we get home!

Ludwig: Goody!

At Home

Bowser: Since you’re the oldest I present you with the crown. Ludwig, I was saving this for when you were ready to be king, but I believe you are ready now. All hail King Ludwig!

Ludwig: Cool!

Bowser: Now Lemmy. What were you thinking? You can't just take anything you find lying around! What you took almost took your life!

Lemmy: I'm real sorry King Dad.

Bowser: Go to your room! You’re grounded indefinitly!

Lemmy: (sniff sniff)

Ludwig: Wait! King Dad, I don't deserve this!

Bowser: Why not?

Ludwig: I have a confession to make. Those were my drugs!

Bowser: What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ludwig: At school this kid said that these pills which I found out later were drugs said would keep me awake. So I took them but now I realize they are drugs.

Bowser: How could you Ludwig?

Ludwig: (sniff sniff) I'm so sorry King Dad! I didn't know! I really trusted him!

Bowser: Don't trust anyone when they have drugs or anything like that! Look what happened to Lemmy!

Ludwig: Here’s your crown back.

Bowser: Never ever take anything weird from people! Even if you know them very well. I hope you've learned a valuable lesson.

Ludwig: I have! I have!

Bowser: Lemmy, come here for a minute.

Lemmy: (sniff) What is it (blub) King Dad?

Bowser: I just wanted to say that you two have learned a valuable lesson. Now both of you are grounded for an entire month.

Lemmy and Ludwig: For the first time we accept our punishment!
