Chapter One: First Encounter

As Luigi was walking through the hallways of the mansion, he heard piano music coming from one of the rooms on the first floor. This room was the Conservatory which he had acquired the key to.

Luigi, of course, was nervous when he began opening the door. The room was dark, but Luigi was use to it since he already went inside several dark rooms before. Inside the room, however, was something different than the pervious rooms; there were musical instruments arranged all over the room. But of all the instruments, a giant piano stood out among the rest.

What Luigi didn't notice in the room was that there was a ghost sitting on the piano bench who noticed him walk into the room. This spirit thought by the looks of Luigi, he couldn't play a single note on any kind of instrument.

Luigi decided to try out each of the instruments scattered across the room, starting with the harp towards the back. When he began playing the harp, he started to perform a familiar tune that he knew, after trying out with the harp, Luigi moved on to all the other instruments in the room, saving the piano for last. Like the harp, he managed to play the familiar tune on each of the other instruments, with the exception of the drums which he managed to get the rhythm to the song.

After Luigi finished performing on each of the instruments, he heard an additional instrument start to play. Luigi recognized that the sound was coming from the piano, which he was where he was about to head to next. As he approached the piano, a figure suddenly appeared on the piano bench, playing on the piano.

"My name is Melody Pianissima," the figure greeted, "People call me the spectral beauty of the ivory keys," she continued.

"My, you sure have quite an ear for music" she commented. Luigi blushed a little after hearing that compliment.

"Oh, it's nothing," said Luigi, "I just knew the tune for years now that I could remember the tune in my head."

"But I recognized the tune almost immediately after you began playing the instruments," Melody replied, "And many other people know the tune as well, so you sure have a passion for music."

Luigi blushed a little more, "Oh, you are perhaps the most friendly spirit I've encountered already," he replied

"Well at first I thought you were no good at music, so I would've attacked you as King Boo commanded me to do, but now that I've seen the music that you have performed, I refuse to attack you for we share a special talent for music," Melody said nicely.

Luigi smiled at the beautiful spirit's remark, but then his emotion change from happiness to guilt. "Well, I guess I have to vacuum you up since I need to proceed in my quest to freeing my brother from King Boo," said Luigi sadly.

"Oh its okay," said Melody, "because even if you suck me up in that device of yours, I will still like you for that talent of yours."

"Really?" asked Luigi.

"Yes," Melody answered, "One last thing before to proceed on your mission," she asked, "What is your name?"

"My name is Luigi," Luigi replied.

"Well Luigi, thanks for talking to me and good luck on your quest for rescuing your brother." Melody said.

After the conversation ended, Luigi smiled and proudly vacuumed Melody up into the Poltergeist 3000. He then continued on his quest to save his brother from the evil clutches of King Boo, but he still thought about what Melody said to him.

"What a nice young lady she was," Luigi thought to himself.
