Hello, once again. Yes, this is yet ANOTHER horror fic from me. I'm like the horror-master of the Mario Section of fanfictiondotnet, aren't I? Lol. Well, anyways, since Halloween is coming up, I decided to make another Halloween fic. This one will be kinda different from the one I made last year, it won't have as much blood and gore, it will just focus more on atmosphere and suspense, but it kind of has the same idea, you know what I mean. Well anyways, I'll stop talking and get on with this.
It was Halloween day, 12 PM. People were decorating their houses and stores with flashy lights and creepy designs. Halloween stores were flooded with customers, buying everything they can for a perfect Halloween. Others were at mini-marts buying bags of candy for the trick-or-treaters.
Mario and the gang, however, were at a place called the Star Academy Building. It was a huge building, three stories high, and had a huge room dead in the center on the second floor that looked like a gym.
That was where the party was being held at.
However, this time, Princess Daisy was throwing the party. She got tired of Peach throwing all the Halloween parties every year so Daisy decided to switch it up a bit. She was lucky she got to rent out the place for the night, considering she made a huge bargain with the owners but almost got into a fight with them at the same time, which isn't surprising none the less. Her and her friends...well actually, just her friends was setting everything up in the gym-like room for the party and Daisy made sure everything was perfect.
"HEY! PICK THOSE STREAMERS UP! DON'T JUST PRETEND LIKE YOU DON'T SEE IT!" Daisy yelled at a couple of Toad boys.
"God, if she keeps on yelling like that she'll just lose her voice...when I hope happens soon." Wario said.
"Okay, so we're gonna have the pictures taken here for people who want to show off their costumes or whatever..." Mario said, talking to Luigi.
"And we'll have the games set up by the corner there?" Luigi asked, pointing to the only corner of the enormous room that hasn't been taken up by party-stuff yet.
"Oh! Yes. DK will bring the twister game and a few guys are gonna come here later to set up some carnival-like games." Mario said.
"Excellent...but...whoo, this is a lot of stress for me. Daisy's gotten on all of our cases about this party. We almost got in an argument about it about an hour ago and I seriously thought she was gonna slap me!" Luigi said.
"She's a perfectionist. What else is there to it? That and I think it's partly because she wants to beat Peach in having a better party. When Daisy is in situations like this, she won't back down and will tear you apart if she has to." Mario said, sipping his Shiver Mountain Water.
"Tell me about it. But...can I ask you something?" Luigi asked.
"Of course you can." Mario replied.
"Do you think I should break up with her?" Luigi asked.
Mario was caught a bit off guard by that question.
"Err...why?" Mario asked.
"I dunno, I guess it's because I don't feel that special connection that I did during the first few months when we went out. Not to mention, Daisy's been kind of pushy lately for some reason and it's been getting on my nerves." Luigi explained.
"Well, I'm not gonna say yes or no. Just talk it out with her and do what you feel is right." Mario answered. Luigi just sighed in response.
"TOAD! What the hell are you doing?" Daisy yelled as she walked over to him.
"...Huh? I'm putting the balloons up, like you said!" Toad answered.
"Uh huh. And what colors are those balloons?" Daisy asked, crossing her arms.
Toad immediately got confused and nervous.
"Um, orange, blue, yellow, red, green, white and black..." He awkwardly said.
"And no pink. No. Freaking. Pink. I SPECIFICALLY told you to get pink balloons and what do I see here? A WHOLE RAINBOW OF BALLOONS WITHOUT THE COLOR PINK! Actually, that shouldn't even be CONSIDERED a rainbow!" Daisy yelled.
"I'M SORRY OKAY? Hal-Mart didn't have any pink balloons there!" Toad cried.
"Well then maybe you should've gone over to J-Mart then, huh? HUH? It's not far from there! Now get your butt over to J-Mart AND GET ME SOME PINK BALLOONS!" Daisy demanded.
"OKAY OKAY OKAY!" Toad shrieked and ran out the room.
"That girl seriously needs to chill the hell out. Seriously, it's just a freaking party. Calm down." Dixie said, carrying a box of decorations with Toadette.
"I know, I want to smack her upside her head. She's never been this naggy before." Toadette said, setting her box down.
"Yeah and I thought Wendy Koopa was the queen of nagginess!" Dixie said, also setting her box down. They both laughed.
"Heh. That's true. Sooooo Dixie, what are you gonna be dressing up as?" Toadette asked.
"A witch. I bought the costume yesterday at the Halloween Spirit store and decided it would look great on me. Unfortunately, I got carried away and bought some snacks, drinks, ooze that looks like blood and some red-colored headphones so I just wiped out like, a quarter of my wallet's money right there." Dixie explained. "And what about you?"
"Probably an angel. I was thinking of going as a ghost but I figured that would be too boring so I decided to go with a cute little angel. I'm still in the process of making the costume so I hope I'll be done before it gets dark. I'm gonna put a halo on there too!" Toadette excitedly said.
"Hello Peach." Waluigi greeted, walking up to her. "So let me guess, you're gonna dress up as a sexy devil? Cause you have the perfect body for it."
Peach rolled her eyes. "Go bother someone else Waluigi. Ugh, and your breath smells like alcohol! How many beers did you drink today?"
"Just one! Well, actually two...no...I think it was three...maybe four..." Said Waluigi, lost in though.
Peach shook her head. "Pathetic." Then she walked away.
"Kay, everything is going according to plan so far but knowing my luck, some idiot is gonna screw something up and I'm gonna be stressed out EVEN MORE!" Daisy freaked. She took a deep breath in and out and tried to calm herself.
"Hey Daisy! I brought some of my own decorations for the party!" Rosalina happily cheered, carrying a big box.
"Let me see it." Daisy ordered and she started searching through the box.
"What the hell is this?" Daisy asked, getting out a pair of deformed-looking dolls. They were dressed as if they were zombies and their faces looked...distorted.
"What? What's wrong with those?" Rosalina asked.
"These dolls. Are you for real right now? They look like they've been ran over by a freaking 200 pound truck over 10 times. Are you seriously gonna expect anyone to take this seriously?" Daisy said.
"Um, Daisy, they're SUPPOSE to look like that. This is HALLOWEEN for crying out loud! You're suppose to have weird decorations scattered about." Rosalina raised her voice, getting frustrated with Daisy.
"Woah, what's THAT?" Diddy asked, coming over to where they were.
"Behold. The ugliest dolls in the world." Daisy said, showing them to him.
"Don't listen to her. These dolls are called "The Guards of Death". They're very rare and I was lucky to have found them. Don't you think they're perfect for the Halloween party?" Rosalina asked.
"Um...yeah...I'll get back to you on that." Diddy said with a freak-out expression and quickly walked away.
"There you have it. I don't wanna see these things at the party whether you like it or not. Talk about an embarassment to Halloween!" Daisy pouted and threw them back in the box. Rosalina got the urge to scream at Daisy.
"What else do you have in here?" Daisy began searching through the box and got out a black book. "Wow, a fake black book with fake black spells and other crap in it! JUNK!"
Daisy had enough.
"Here, take this junk back to wherever the hell you got it from. This is MY party and I don't need to see crap like this all over the place." Daisy said, shoving the box into Rosalina's arms.
"You know, Daisy, you shouldn't disrespect the dead. Especially with dolls like these around. Karma will come back to get you when you least expect it." Rosalina said, trying not to explode in anger. She walked out of the room.
"Oh please. Who is that girl kidding? I know she's just trying to scare me. And I bet she bought those dolls for like 2 coins. Yeah, such rare dolls alright. My crown looks more rare than that!" Daisy said.
Birdo, witnessing the entire situation walked up to Daisy.
"Um, you know Daisy...if it makes you feel any better...I kind of thought those dolls looked a bit stupid too. I mean, that's the kind of stuff you would see in B Movies, right? I wouldn't have nightmares from seeing those, even if they came to life." She said.
"Glad to see another smart person here agree with me. I wish there was more people like us around, you know? Halloween would be way more fun that way. We wouldn't need people bringing some idiotic looking dolls or artifacts and claim that it has a curse to it and expect everyone to believe it! That happened earlier today too, some koopa girl came in and set out all these items that looked like Christmas decorations so I threw them away when she wasn't even looking...heh heh heh." Daisy complained.
"Y...Yeah. What you said. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go across the street to get a vanilla milkshake. You want anything?" Birdo asked.
"I suppose. Get me a strawberry milkshake. But make it small though! I'm on a diet." Daisy said. Birdo shook her head and skipped on out.
"Hey Yoshi, what's up?" DK asked.
"Hey...umm, did you see those dolls that Rosalina brought in?" Yoshi asked.
"Yeah I saw them. If you want me honest opinion, they looked kind of cheesy." DK said, opening up his banana.
"Oh. I think the same as well but...when I looked at them, I couldn't help but get a creepy feeling coming over me. It was weird. It just happened out of nowhere..." Yoshi said in slight worry.
"Come on now, don't tell me you believe in those generic superstitions? Those are just to scare people!" DK said.
"I know that! But...something was just odd about them. I can't really explain it. Plus, I can't get that image of the dolls out of my head now." Yoshi said, shivering a bit. He'd like to think he was over-thinking it but he wasn't even sure.
As Daisy turned around, she found yet another thing to yell about. "HEY! WARIO! GET YOUR ASS OFF THE STEREO! THAT'S NOT A FREAKING CHAIR!"
EOC.
Sorry if this seems like a rushed start. I'm pretty bad with intros to fics, but it will be getting a lot better next chapter though, because that's where the fun starts if you know what I mean. Read and review please.
