Luigi's Mansion was one of my favorite GCN games. My favorite part were the quirky Portrait Ghosts that inhabited specific rooms. I always wondered their backstory. Since LM3 looks to taking place in a completely different area, I'm taking it into my own hands to explain their lives, and possible deaths. Due to the fact the Sweet Pea Sue, Chauncy, Orville and Henry are all children, it will get dark later on. And no, i'm not making it dark for the sake of EDGE, Nintendo made these cool character's ghosts, and ghosts are dead. This first chapter will simply be introductions to the character's human designs and junk. Also, the characters I don't describe have paintings of them alive. I'll link to the Mario Wiki Page ( Portrait_Ghost). I also made up first and last names for characters who don't have one. Enjoy!

Living in this forest was not the greatest, but for the huge family Neville Loten had, it was a necessity. There were a total of fifteen people living in his house, and they were all close to him. Right now, Neville was reading a book to his children Orville and Henry. They were about to fall asleep when Henry spoke up

"Father, can we play with Sue tomorrow? She's fun!"
"Perhaps my child. Vanellope and Marvin Whirlidads had plans to leave to take Sue to the doctor. I'll talk to them before bed. Rest up now, and have sweet dreams." Neville walked out and headed to the Foyer to Marvin's room. Along the way, he walked into James 'Shivers' McArth, the butler. He had been hired to work here some weeks prior. He was dusting in the halls as Neville walked by.

"Good evening Shivers. Anything to report today?"

"Other than people referring to me by that awful name, nothing much. Sue's bed was changed once more, all sharp objects removed from the twins room, oiled the dance floor, cleaned Melody's cartridges, all the things I'm required. I'm finishing the halls as we speak." James was nicknamed Shiver's on account of his insistent quivering near the end of the 1st floor hall. No one knew why, but it happened when Melody played her music. When asked, he said he doesn't 'believe in the 'video game' music she plays.' He believes she should play the classics, but most just ignore it. Neville walked into the ballroom. As usual, Marvin and Vanellope were spinning away, but surprisingly, Suzy Petunia (who's not a pig) and Biff Atlas were here too. Neville walked up to the Whirlidads.

"Good evening Martin, Vanellope."

"Ahh… good day to youuu Mr. Bookins."

"Whaaaaat do you need from us?" Marvin and Vanellope said respectively. Vanellope was quite the opposite of Marvin. While his hair was short and his nose long, her hair was long and her nose small, like a ball.

"I heard you and Sue were going to th-" Neville was interrupted by Marvin

"Her? No way daaaaaa'ling. We positively can't. We've got a contest in three days time. Her issue's can wait." Neville was a bit taken back by this statement. Sue wasn't blood related, as Vanellope found and adopted her. She had a bed wetting problem, and while most tried to help, Vanellope included, Marvin was focus primarily on his and her sport. Vanellope added

"If you cooooould, perhaps you could take her. The doctor shall be here the day of our performance." Neville agreed to help them, and he walked back to his room when he heard a cry. Turning his head, he ran down the hall to see Slim and Melody standing on chairs in the Pool Room. On the floor was a spider. It was still, as were they, petrified with fear, and worry. Neville knew what was up right away. He walked below the vent shaft, grabbed a string, and yanked. Out of the vent fell Orville and Henry, with a plastic spider on a string. As they fell, Slim and Melody immediately began to yell at them. Melody was the 'beauty of this house', as Lydia called her. Her green piercing eyes were fixated on Orville while Slim looked ay Henry. To escape their predicament, Orville kissed Melody on the cheek. CRITICAL HIT! THE WILD MELODY IS STUNNED! The two ran off as Orville yelled at them.
"I am dreadfully sorry about their behaviors. I'll need to add string to the list of things James must remove from their room before bed."

"Its fine," Slim said "I was a rascal too at their age. Hope ma' sticks're intact though." Slim said as he walked over to his collection.

"Y-y-yeah, it's nothing much. Goodnight Mr. Bookins". Melody was always extremely poliot when it came to speaking. Always Calling people by their last names and such. She walked off and Neville headed to bed. Tomorrow should be fine.

It was not.

He heard yelling when he woke and, and it was coming from the twins room. As he walked over, he heard a females voice coming through. He entered and found Melody yelling at the twins, who looked barely awake.

"DON'T BOTHER DENYING IT YOU BRATS! ALL OF THEM WERE KEEP IN A NEAT FASHION! AND WHAT DO I FIND WHEN I WAKE UP? CARTRIDGES! ALL OVER THE FLOOR! SOME WERE EVEN BROKE!" Before she passed out due to lack of oxygen, Neville stepped in.

"Boys, did you do this? They are quite expensive." (Base is Orville, Italics is Henry)

"What? No! Why would we care? Her taste is garbage!"

"I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I HAVE A REFINED TASTE! IT IS A UNIQUE MIX OF SHOOTERS, PLATFORMERS, RPGS, PUZZLES GAMES, AND FIGHTING GAMES! THAT'S-" Neville cut her off before she tore into them again.

"Look, Melody, I'll replace them, alright." Melody, though still mad, walked off. It was then when Vanellope ran up.

"Neville help! We cant' get Sue's door open!"

Thanks for reading. Please considering reviewing, as all criticism helps! I'll keep this up if people enjoy it. Also, some Headcanons

Miss Petunia isn't pig. It's some sort of curse to torment her in the afterlife, as she was beautiful, now, she's a pig.

This story takes place about 30-ish years prior to Luigi's visit.

Slim's a gangsa' (at least talks like one)

That it all from me. Until next time.

(P.S. I'm also on wattpad. I'm called StrikR1217, a'ight?)
