Me: Here we go, with my fourth murder mystery story, and my eighth horror story. I am not going to put a lot of characters in here, like Passport to Death or Escape, because I am not planning on making it very long. So, enjoy! Oh, and this was inspired by Marioman174 and Kaiimi.

Characters Alive: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Toad, Toadette, DK, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser.

Characters Dead: Goombella. (She is only the first victim and is nothing to do with the main story)

...

Two police officers sat in a small, circular room with many small screens around them. One of them turned to the other one, confused.

"Wait, so that small Goomba girl got murdered by one of those twelve?" He pointed to one of the screens, where the twelve stood somewhere in the supermarket. "And it is strange that it happened five minutes before closing time, when there was nobody inside but the twelve..."

The other one nodded.

"Yes, but I have locked the supermarket doors, so none of them can escape. I am going to interview them later, but for now we must watch them to make sure they are not doing anything suspicious," The second police officer replied. "One of those twelve murdered Goombella, and we have to find out, before it happens again..."

...

"I can't believe this happened!" Wailed Princess Peach, the great ruler of The Mushroom Kingdom. "Who would murder Goombella? I was just about to do some last-minute shopping, because the store was about to close, when I heard a bang. I ran to the bread aisle, and I saw Goombella, lying there..."

"I was just buying some salad-" Bowser stopped, noticing everyone was staring at him with shocked expressions on their faces. "Anyway...I was just buying some salad when I heard the bang, like Peach said."

"Well, you probably killed her," Mario muttered. "I mean, the rest of us are kind, and you are just...Bowser."

Bowser growled angrily and stomped his foot.

"I wish I never came shopping with Peach!" Cried Daisy. "I would be home watching horror movies right now if it wasn't for her!"

Peach glanced at her, scowling.

"But at least we had fun!" Peach grabbed her by the hair and walked off, dragging Daisy along with her.

"OUCH! UGH! STOP IT, PEACH! ARGH!" Daisy tried to pull away, but Peach was too strong.

Everyone just stared as they disappeared into the vegetable aisle.

"In OTHER news..." Said Toadette, turning and looking at the magazines. "Hey, Birdo, I never knew you were-"

Birdo quickly ran to the magazines, sweating, picked them all up and ate them all. She then coughed and all of them tumbled back out, paper spraying everywhere.

"OUCH! PAPER CUT!" Cried Toad, running towards the toilets, but unfortunately he tripped on the way there and his face smashed into the ground.

The others cringed, except Peach and Daisy, who were still nowhere to be seen.

"Hmmm...I wonder where-"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Everyone, hearing the extremely loud noises, spun around quickly to see a blood-covered gun on the clean, white floor. Lying a few metres away from it, by Wario's feet, was Luigi, with three large bullet holes in his chest.

"Luigi!" Cried Mario, terror-stricken.

Peach and Daisy returned, with the latter having many bruises over her body, obviously from when Peach beat her up. When Daisy saw Luigi, she screamed. She ran towards him but slipped and landed on her face.

"DAMN IT!" She screamed, standing back up and dusting herself off. "I was just trying to be dramatic!"

"Um, Hello!" Toadette waved her arms. "Dead body here!"

"Oh Yeah! I almost forgot!" Daisy scratched the back of her head awkwardly, chuckling nervously. "Luigi!"

Daisy ran towards Luigi. After looking at his body in silence for a few moments, she looked up, realising something.

"Where's Toad?"

...

"Oh No!" Cried one of the police officers.

The other one looked over and gasped at the sight of Luigi's body.

"This is getting dangerous..." Muttered the second one, placing his hat on his head and staring at the body, thinking. "Hmmm..."

"Who do you think murdered him?" Questioned the first police officer, looking away from the screen for a moment and at his friend.

"I can not tell yet..." Answered the second police officer. "But we have to hurry, before the murderer strikes again..."

"What about the interviews?"

The second officer stared at him, thinking.

...

The sound of doors opening caught the attention of the ten suspects. Toad was still nowhere to be seen. The two police officers entered, the second one locking the door. They walked up to them. One of them looked around, realising one of the suspects were missing.

"Where is Toad?" The second police officer asked. "We need him, right now."

Everyone nervously shrugged. They knew Toad was somewhere in the supermarket, but they did not know the exact spot.

"Anyway, we know that one of you have murdered Goombella, and recently, whoever it was has stricken again. So it would make it a lot easier if you just confessed right now." The first police officer told them, adjusting his police hat on his head.

Nobody answered. Suddenly, Toad returned, wiping his face with a towel.

"Hey, when did they get here?" He asked, removing the towel.

"They locked us in earlier, remember?" Reminded Mario.

Toad nodded, and put the towel down on a chair.

"So, why are you here?" He questioned.

"We came to interview all of you, for evidence." Replied the second police officer, then swapped his gaze to Mario. "Excuse Me, Mario, do you mind if we interview you first?"

"Not at all," Replied Mario, standing up. "Let's go."

The officers led him away, leaving the others alone.

"Ugh, I really need a coffee right now..." Groaned Birdo.

"I could really do with a nap," Said Wario. "And a pizza topped with cheese, ham, toads, Koopa shells, and Vivian."

"OK, now that is seriously concerning..." Said Yoshi anxiously.

"Guys, we really have to watch out, just in case the killer strikes again!" Muttered Peach.

Everyone nodded, and began looking all around, none of them wanting to be murdered.

...

"So, Mario, just tell us what you were doing before Goombella got murdered." The first police officer said, while the second held a notebook and a pencil.

"Well...Hmmm...I think I was over in the Video Games aisle with Luigi, talking about how unoriginal our games are nowadays..." Mario trailed off, remembering his brother's death. "Well then, can I leave now?"

The second police officer finished writing notes and nodded. Mario quickly left.

"Suspicious..." The first one said. "Now should we get Princess Peach?"

"Forget that, it's our lunch break!" The second one said and he walked off, the first one following.

...

"Er...We just need to...check the evidence...We will be back soon!" The first one assured the group.

The two ran out of the large supermarket, closing the door and locking it. They could hear the sound of footsteps, and then silence.

"They are going on a lunch break..." Muttered Yoshi. "So, what do you guys want to do?"

Peach glanced at him.

"Seriously?"

"I have feelings!" Wailed Yoshi, and ran into a shelf, falling backwards.

"We should decide on who the killer is..." Said Mario. Well...Goombella...Forget about her, nobody likes Goombella...And Luigi, the only person who doesn't like Luigi is Bowser. So that means BOWSER is the killer!"

"I totally agree," Birdo raised her hand. "Bowser is definitely the killer. There is no doubt at all that Bowser murdered Goombella and Luigi. Bowser, you may as well head to jail immediately, because you are the killer."

"So do I!" Agreed Waluigi.

"Yeah, and how exactly am I the killer, hm?" Said Bowser. "Where am I meant to hide the gun?"

"In that big, fat shell of yours!" Birdo retorted angrily as she put one foot forward, her eyes narrowing.

"Well you could hide the gun in your...er...hm...um...MOUTH! HA!" Bowser laughed. "I totally destroyed you right there!"

"Um...No, you didn't." Birdo shook her head.

"Guys, just leave it!" Yelled Yoshi, stepping in-between both of them. "This is a really bad time to fight!"

Both Birdo and Bowser stepped back, grumbling.

Daisy was standing away from the group, thinking about Luigi. Toadette spotted her, and walked up to her.

"What's wrong?" She asked the Princess.

"Luigi is dead..." Daisy muttered.

"Oh...right...THAT..." Toadette ran back to the group, not knowing what to say. "SORRY!"

Daisy sighed and joined the others.

"I am actually surprised that nobody else has been killed yet!" Exclaimed DK.

"EEEK! Do not say that!" Peach leapt towards DK, but he side-stepped, making Peach crash into the magazine stands. "Oooh, I am on the front page of The Mushroom Magazine!"

"Aw, I wish I was that well-liked..." Waluigi looked down sadly.

"Waluigi, you will never be liked!" Daisy laughed.

"I know..." Replied Waluigi.

"What's the time?" Asked Bowser to Mario.

"Um...Nine PM. Why?" Mario asked Bowser suspiciously.

"No reason," Bowser replied. "I just wanted to know how long we have been in here."

"Um...Okay..." Mario backed away from Bowser. "Anyway, I am heading to the drinks aisle to get a milkshake. Are any of you coming?"

"HELL YEAH!" Shouted Peach and Daisy, and charged towards the milkshakes.

"I will come!" Birdo said, when she felt something land on her back.

She looked around, and found out that it wasn't SOMETHING, it was SOMEONE.

"Toadette, what the hell!?" Birdo cried in anger.

"Go, Horsey! Go, go, go! Onward, to the milkshakes!" Toadette kept kicking Birdo, trying to get her to gallop.

"Ouch! Ack! Argh! Toadette! Toadette! TOADETTE!" Birdo sighed and began running towards the milkshakes with Toadette on her back.

Toad then tried to do the same to Bowser, but Bowser grabbed him and threw him to the other side of the supermarket. Toad smashed into the hard, metal wall at the end of it and groaned as he slid down.

"MILKSHAKE PARTY!" Cheered Bowser and followed the others.

Yoshi walked up to Toad, realising he was in pain.

"Hey, Toad," He said, and Toad looked up. "Do you want to ride on my back?"

Toad started laughing and jumped onto Yoshi's back. Yoshi was about to start running, when Toad pulled out a long whip and raised it in the air.

"Oh...Crap..." Whispered Yoshi and shook around.

Toad slid off of his back and landed back on the ground.

"Bye, Toad!" Yoshi said nervously and ran off, towards the milkshakes.

DK, Wario, and Waluigi had also headed to the milkshakes, and Toad walked towards them slowly. What he didn't know, is that the murderer was secretly watching him from behind an aisle.

...

Toad eventually made it to the milkshake aisle, only to find everybody drinking them all and spilling them all over the floor.

"Guys, leave some for me!" Wailed Toad and took Toadette's strawberry milkshake straight out of her hands.

"Hey!" Whined Toadette and dropped to the ground, bursting into tears. "That was my only milkshake!"

She then began rolling in her tears, screaming in anger and sadness.

"Oh, stop over-reacting!" Muttered Toad, rolling his eyes as he drank Toadette's milkshake.

Toadette's clothes were now absolutely soaked, and Peach walked away from her because her shoes were getting wet.

"Ew, tears!" She cried and almost hurled all over Daisy, but she quickly stopped herself. "Wow, that was a close one!"

Peach then looked over at Toadette and her face went sickly green. She then vomited all over Birdo, making her scream in terror and disgust as she watched Peach breath a sigh of relief.

"I am so glad-Oh...Oops...Sorry Birdo!" Peach sweetly smiled and then dashed away. "I have got to get the hell out of here!"

Birdo cried out in anger and began chasing Peach, but she slipped on the spilled milkshake on the floor and she tripped over.

"HA!" Laughed Yoshi, pointing.

"Hmmm...I could really do with a nice, long bath right now..." Said Daisy.

Everybody stared at her.

"ME TOO!" They all cried out and began laughing.

"Haha, not really." Toadette smiled, looking around happily at her friends.

Everyone slowly turned towards her, making her whimper in fright and slowly back away towards the emergency door. But, not to her surprise, it was locked. She kept pushing the bar frantically, trying to get the door to open. She turned around and screamed, seeing her friends turn into evil monsters with black tentacles, red eyes, and sharp teeth. She screamed louder as they got closer and closer. She then slammed her eyes shut and crouched down, wailing in terror.

"Um...Toadette?"

Toadette looked up, seeing she was in the normal supermarket, with her normal friends, who were staring at her, looking frightened.

"You SERIOUSLY need to calm down..." Said Toad.

"I know!" Said Daisy. "She can go into the manager's office for some rest, and then she will be back to normal in no time!"

They all agreed to the idea, and led the freaked out Toadette into the manager's office.

"Why are you taking me into that black portal!?" Screamed Toadette, kicking her legs. "HELP! HELP! HELP!"

They threw her inside and locked the door.

"There, all better!" Said Wario, who was holding the key. "Now we can go back to the milkshakes!"

They all cheered and headed back.

...

A few hours later they were still drinking milkshakes and they had also completely forgotten about poor Toadette, who was still in the manager's office. Suddenly, they heard a ear-piercing scream and they looked to each other.

"Toadette!" Shouted Daisy.

They all sped to the office and banged on the door. It would not budge. The curtains were closed, so they couldn't see what had happened to Toadette.

"Who has the key!?" Bellowed DK.

Wario quickly handed it to him and DK thrust the key into the lock and turned it. They all piled into the room, and Birdo, who was first, screamed at what she saw. The others also looked up in terror.

Toadette was sitting on the chair with her two arms on the desk, but they were not attached to her body. There was also a huge gash on the right side of her face, and blood was everywhere.

"Oh No..." Whispered Bowser.

...

The two police officers returned to the circular room, laughing while they ate sandwiches. Suddenly, one of them screamed and dropped their sandwich, only for them to start muttering and bend down to pick it up.

"Stupid sandwich..." He muttered. "Anyway, look at the screen!"

The second police officer looked up and gasped at the sight of Toadette.

"We have got to get more lunch!" He yelled and they both dashed out.
