The Boo and The Thief part four: A spot of tea, chaps?

Hey sorry for not updating, I've been doing a lot of nothing…anyways you know that I don't own boos, Mario, Dimento, The Wii and all its games, bandits, the mansion, King boo, Lady Bow, and any other characters.

The ones I do own are Spook Boovian, Pilfer Bandit, and any other un-familiar characters. Check Wikipedia to see if any other characters/places I might have missed belong to me (I doubt it though)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Pilfer grumbled as he walked up to the eerie mansion to begin his tasks. Spook floated out of the mansion with baggy eyes and a night cap, yawning tiredly. It was decorated green with a little green fuzz ball at the end. "Hold on a sec, if you're a ghost how come you sleep?" Pilfer asked curiously. "For one, Boos need to sleep, eat, and drink just as much as other creatures do. We are species not-" Spook paused to blow the fuzzy green ball of his night cap away from his tired eyes "-We are not spirits of the dead." Spook said tiredly. "Whatever. Ok stop counting sheep and lets go." Pilfer said ignoring his stomach that hungered for breakfast.

Spook however had drifted off to sleep, floating upside-down while doing so. Pilfer grumbled and poked the emerald boo repeated times, but nothing happened. The bandit had experience with these kinds of things and smacked Spook on the head twice with no effect. Growing impatient he drop kicked him but still nothing at all. He had gotten very mad with the boo and did something very annoying…

He got a match and lit Spook on fire… yet the boo was still snoozing like a fat Italian plumber on his day off from saving a princess. Pilfer groaned "Fine, be like that and sleep you lazy ghost!" Pilfer screamed and kicked Spook once more, though he was ignited on fire by doing so. The black bandit ran around in circles screaming insanities which of course woke up Spook.

"Can we get started now? Spook mumbled, simply dumping a bucket of syrup onto Pilfer to put the fire out. Normally he would have left him there but if he burned, then so would his blood. Pilfer frowned, licking off some of the sticky nectar and jumping onto his motorcycle with Spook following.

Pilfer drove off, his boo 'partner' had managed to hold onto the back of the motorcycle in a Mario Kart Double Dash sort of way. "Take a left at the grinning tree, then pass Gusty Glitch to arrive at Lady bow's mansion" Spook said shivering at his own mentioning of his mother. "Whatever" Pilfer shrugged and went from sixty to one-hundred and eighty in two seconds.

Spook held onto the motorcycle with one paw/fin and his lucky nightcap with the other. Soon they were riding in the deserted area of Gusty Glitch (I think it was either Glitch or Giltch.) "OUTTA MY WAY LOSERS! HAHAHA!" Pilfer screamed running over anything that was in his way. The bandit drove over the rotting carcass of Tubba Blubba that the village boos never did touch at all.

"LOOK OUT FOR-" Spook never finished that sentence, because Pilfer slammed right into the large pile of hay. He didn't stop there, Pilfer dented a hole in every straw house, and left the village with a 'YAAAAAHOOOO!'. The brown boo were left with question marks floating over their heads, but they shrugged and continued with their activities. They left the Gusty Giltch and soon arrived in Lady Bow's mansion. "Whoa, talk about oldies" Pilfer said, staring at the enormous mansion.

"Dang, your mom must have discovered electricity or something, because she could be like 1000! And-" Pilfer remarked, but a glare from Spook shut him up. "She just has a taste for the classics" Spook frowned, entering the mansion with Pilfer in tow. The mansion was seemingly empty, furniture from the 1770's was scattered around. Dust aligned the walls, and portraits with boos wearing tuxes and fancy dresses were on the walls. Spook simply floated up to the third floor, leaving Pilfer to figure out how to get up there.

"Hey! Not all of us can do that!" Pilfer whined, running up the stairs and jumping on a chandelier. He started to climb it up, but once he saw a spider climb onto his hand he freaked out and fell off, landing on a sofa and shooting a bunch of dust in the air. Spook lied back and enjoyed the show, chewing on a Bone-in-cut he found a few moments ago.

Pilfer frowned, attempting to run up the walls, but wasn't fast enough and fell down. He tried to use a super bouncy cushion on the sofas, but that didn't work. He only had one other way to get up there. He scurried out of the mansion, leaving Spook puzzled for a moment until the roar of an engine was heard. Pilfer came crashing through the doors that were knocked off their rusty hinges, shooting up the dusty stairs and off a piece of wood. He ricochet off the wall and landed in front of spook with a smirk on his face.

"What took you so long?" Spook grumbled licking his paws as he finished his meaty snack, entering the master room. Pilfer pressed a button on the side of the vehicle watching it spin and convert itself into a watch which he pocketed in his jacket before following Spook into the room. (Yep, that comes in handy eh?)

It was a very large room full of old things that could be what the 1450's had in style. The room was neat in its own way, other than it was extremely dusty but that was the look. And in the middle of the room was… Lady Bow playing Mario Strikers Charged on a Plasma?!

"DIE EVIL CLOWN THING!" Lady Bow screeched, currently fighting against Dimento… who was playing as Luigi. Yes that's right, THE Dimento was playing Super Mario Strikers Charged against Lady Bow who was playing as Daisy with a team made entirely of boo's. Spook and Pilfer glanced at each other, then at the two gamers. "Hey, room for two more?" Pilfer asked, approaching the enormous plasma TV. "Yeah sure, just grab some remotes" Lady Bow said, not looking away from the screen even once. (Note, this is IMPOSSIBLE in actual game play, as up to two players can play at the same time, not four)

Pilfer grinned and got his remotes, Spook sighed and decided to play too. Soon they were playing a tag-team battle of Pilfer and Spook VS Dimento and Lady Bow, who were Bowser Jr and Diddy Kong VS Luigi and Daisy respectively. The action increased by every minute, especially in Sudden Death where each team tried their hardest to block the opponents mega smashes. Even Spook was enjoying slamming other players into the electric fences. Eventually Pilfers experience got a mega strike in, winning the game for him and his partner.

"Now then, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?! YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOCK OR WIPE YOUR FEET!" Lady Bow screeched. "That could be a challenge for this guy" Pilfer replied in a slick way, pointing at Spook who was still playing against Dimento. "What an addictive game! The more I say no the more I play! Who knew flashing bits of light were so entertaining" Spook mumbled, eyes focusing on the game. Every once in a while he would blow the green fuzz on his nightcap away from his eyes.

"… Oh what do I care anymore? No one knocks or says 'good day' or 'shall we have some tea?' Apparently only Dimento does that anymore" Lady Bow sighed. Dimento looked around as if there was another jester thing named Dimento. "Who, me? I just like a spot of tea once in a while" The clown grinned, returning his focus to the game.

"Well anyways, what are you here for?" Lady Bow asked. Surprisingly when Video Games were present, it was impossible to be grouchy. "Oh I was just wondering why you don't agree with… King boo, or what's his name" Pilfer said hoping that Lady Bow wouldn't explode at the mentioning of King Boo.

Surprisingly, Lady Bow was calm about the subject. "Well he wants to kill Mario, and I want to help him." Lady Bow stated simply. "Ok. So Marty-o is the problem then?" Pilfer said, hoping to probe further to see if he could get a plan going. "Yepp!" Lady Bow smirked. Pilfer was starting to think that the boo queen's tea had something else other than sugar in it. The freaky thing was that he thought he saw Dimento cackle at Lady Bow when he wasn't looking. "Alright that's good enough for me, C'mon Spook let's go." Pilfer said, dragging Spook out of the room. "NOOOOO! I WANTS MORE FLASHY GAME!" Spook screamed, attempting to cling onto the ground.

"Uhhh… What happened?" Spook said tiredly as if Video games had brainwashed him. "The power of the Wii had hypnotized you, but enough about that. I've got a plan dude so let's go back to the mansion" Pilfer declared, taking out the watch and turning it back into his motorcycle. Spook had drifted to sleep again, floating upside down with his nightcap somehow sticking on his head, a fang poking out of his lips. It would have been cute if not for the fact that Pilfer was making deals with an emo bloodthirsty boo. He sighed, strapping Spook to the motorcycle and driving off to the mansion.

By the time that they returned, Spook had awoken to find Pilfer in front of the mansion huddled by a fire. He floated past him, glancing at him and feeling the slightest twinge of guilt. "Hey, unless you want to be eaten by Werekoopas, I suggest you come in the mansion." Spook said, thinking he was going soft as he floated to his room. Pilfer grinned, turning his motorcycle into a watch and extinguishing the fire before going in after Spook.

Spook's room was a lot cleaner than most of the rooms Pilfer had seen. It had one bed in the corner, and a desk at the end of it. On that desk was a computer along with a few papers and odds and ends. Pilfer shrugged and laid his sleeping bag on the floor, which he hadn't used earlier and tried to fall asleep. Spook pulled the covers over his head and tried to sleep as well. Sure he could just float, but a nice and warm bed was much better.

Pilfer smirked as he fell asleep, this was the start of a great partnership.
