Chapter 1: Strange Incidents


It was a special night for everybody in Mushroom Kingdom; there was a huge party taking place in Princess Peach's castle.

And no, Daisy is not hosting it this time.

It was a celebration which Peach held for Toadette, who had just won the lottery. And the gold medal in the Mushroom Kingdom Toad's Choice Awards.

Everyone who was anyone had showed up at the castle to congratulate Toadette and to have fun, and probably in hopes of getting some money from Toadette.

All the accessible areas of the castle, which excludes the 5th floor, were all crowded with people.

"Cool party you are hosting here!" Daisy exclaimed. "It sure is about freaking time it finally happened!"

"Don't mention it; it is a dedication to my closest friend, Toadette," Peach replied.

Toadette was having the time of her life, talking to Toads, Nokis, and other partiers who had come to the castle. She was happily receiving compliments and praises for winning her award. And she was also very determined not to let anyone take any money from her.

"Well then here is a little tip of advice to you; the next time you host a party, at least include something fun and interesting," Daisy stated before walking away.

"Whatever," Peach shrugged as she went towards Toadette.

"Hey Toadette, congratulations on winning the award last night," Peach greeted her close friend.

"Aw, thank you so much Peach, this party is amazing!" Toadette exclaimed.

"Yeah, I mean, first time hosting a real party, and everyone is all happy," Peach stated.

"With large crowds of people, luxurious food and beverages, and fun filled activities in store, what could possibly go...," Toadette said.

"AH!"

"...Wrong..." Toadette completed her previous statement.

"Oh not to worry Toadette, I am sure that was just someone who got tackled by Daisy," Peach reassured Toadette.

"AH!"

Another scream was heard somewhere in the castle, and shortly afterwards, Birdo was seen running down from the fifth storey, screaming in the process.

"Not to prove you wrong, but when Birdo is running and screaming for her dear life at the same time, this situation cannot possibly be good," Toadette explained.

Birdo panted as she ran towards Peach and Toadette, with everyone staring at her.

"Birdo, what seems to be the problem here?" Peach asked her curiously.

"This place is haunted!" Birdo screamed out loud.

Upon hearing the word "haunted", all the guests started screaming and ran for their dear lives.

Total chaos erupted in the castle, tables and chairs were toppled over, furniture was stained with food, bookshelves and tables were in total disarray, and Peach was not getting any better.

"People, SHUT UP!" Peach screamed at the top of her lungs.


After 23 minutes and 19 seconds, Peach finally managed to get everyone in her castle to calm down.

"Ok look, this castle is not haunted; Birdo please explain your statement," Peach requested.

"Ok, before I came down screaming like crazy, I had went up to the fifth floor to use the toilet since there was no other restrooms available in the castle, and so I entered the bathroom, closed the door, relieved myself, and just when I was about to leave the room, the lights suddenly went off," Birdo explained.

"And?" Toadette asked.

"I ran towards the door and tried to open it, but it just would not budge, and so I kept pulling the door knob and screaming, until I got so scared that I kicked the door off and ran downstairs," Birdo concluded.

"All right, first of all, you will be paying insurance for that broken door," Peach said. "Secondly, I think it could have just been a small malfunction, and thirdly, you did not need to scream twice."

"I only screamed once..." Birdo trailed nervously.

At this instant, everyone got freaked out and started getting scary thoughts.

"Then, where did..., wait a second, where's Daisy?" Peach asked.

Everyone started to panic and went in search of the yellow flower princess.

"Daisy, where are you?" Mario and Yoshi called out.

"Sweetie, if this is one of those pranks of yours, now really is not the appropriate time to do so," Luigi called out.

"This just does not add up, Daisy is such a hyperactive person, even if she were to hold still, we would still be able to hear her," Rosalina remarked.

"Oh my god!" Toadette exclaimed.

All the partiers went in the direction of Toadette's voice and saw her in the bathroom, kneeling beside Daisy, who was passed out on the floor.


A few minutes later, after Daisy had been taken to the living room, Peach called for everyone's attention.

"Ok people, listen up here, Daisy is currently out at the moment, but no to worry; she is absolutely fine," Peach announced.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief for Daisy, who was lying down on the sofa.

"Thank god, my Daisy is ok!" Waluigi exclaimed.

"Oh please, grow up already!" Wario grumbled as he slouched onto a nearby chair, before standing up again afterwards.

"Um Wario," Toad asked.

"What is it?" Wario asked.

The overweight plumber then felt his back and realised that the chair was glued to his butt.

"What the heck, what kind of foolish act is this?" Wario grumbled.

All the guests tried their best not to giggle at him.

"Wait a second," Peach said as she went towards another chair nearby. "This chair has glue on it as well."

Peach then thought of the two incidents revolving Daisy and Birdo, and realised something.

"Somebody here is pulling pranks on us!" Peach fumed angrily.

The partiers all turned to one another in hopes of appearing innocent.

"Wait, give me one second," Toadette called out before running to the second storey.

Upon getting of the staircase, Toadette went in search of the couch in which underneath she had used to stash all the money she won in the lottery.

"Oh god, all the money is gone..." Toadette said as she tried to control her temper.

"Ok, somebody is behind all this: Birdo's scary bathroom encounter, Daisy's passing out, the glued chairs, and my stolen money. The only question is who?" Toadette said to herself.

Filled with determination, Toadette started making her way towards the staircase and headed down to the first floor.

"Which is what I am going to find out myself!" Toadette decided.


And that does it for the intro of the story.

So, who exactly is behind all these strange incidents?

And what really happened to Daisy?

If you want to know, then you will have to stay tuned to the next chapter.
