Heavy rain was falling from the sky.

Thunder was heard outside.

A clock was slowly ticking.

And a certain someone was standing in the middle of the hallway.

"Soon... soon..." she whispered.

The clock kept ticking... until it reached 12.

At that very moment, the thunder grew and the hallway rumbled.

And the girl... slowly disappeared into the darkness of the hallway.

Around the same timee, Iggy woke up in a daze. He sat up and looked around him. Where he was looked like something of an auditorium, only old and wrecked..

"Huh?" Where am I?" he wondered out loud.

"Iggy!" a familiar voice shouted.

Iggy got off the floor, and turned to see a girl with black hair and blue clothing running up to him.

"E-Emma?!" he said in a shocked voice.

"I thought you'd never wake up!"

"Heh heh. Well, I'm awake now. Where are we?"

"We're in Heavenly Host Elementary School," a voice replied to him.

The couple turned to see Princess Daisy, Princess Peach, Rosalina, and the Mario Bros. all standing in the auditorium with confused looks.

"Huh... why does this sound familiar?" Iggy asked.

"I think we've been here before," Daisy replied to him, "but my memory's a little fuzzy."

"Yeah mine too," Iggy said. In fact, everyone's memory was fuzzy. The school was familiar to all but have they been here in the past? No one was sure.

"Maybe we can get out of here," Peach said, "I see a couple of doors over there, on the left and right side of the auditorium."

"I-I don't think that's a good idea..." Luigi said," I...have a feeling something big about to happen."

"Oh quit worrying greeny, let's just get out of here," Iggy said to the skinny green plumber.

" Wait Iggy," Emma said, " I also have that feeling."

All the others agreed.

Suddenly, the lights in the auditorium went off.

"Hey what the?!" everyone shouted at the time.

Everyone started panicking until off-key music started playing in the auditorium.

"Hello everyone and welcome to... Sachiko's Christmas Party!"
