Luigi and Violet held hands as they walked down the hallway. Both of them were scared stiff but knew that they had to keep moving. Luigi's heart was pounding in his chest from both fear...and love. Violet skirt twirled as she walked, showing off her beautiful legs. Luigi blushed as he thought, 'How come I just noticed that? Damn, I've been crushing on her for awhile but I never noticed that!' Unknown to Luigi, Violet's heart was also pounding her chest.
She was also afraid...and in love. Luigi's hat bounced on the top of his head, showing off his soft brown hair. Violet blushed as she thought, 'Wow, his hair looks so soft... How the hell could I not noticed that?' Luigi pulled Violet over to his body, making both of them blush. Luigi rubbed her right arm up and down. Violet smiled as he softly kissed her forehead. The green clad ghost hunter noticed that her body wasn't cold as what it usually was.
Luigi asked, "You okay, Vi?"
Violet nodded and answered, "I will be, Weegie."
He smiled as the two of them got to the end of the hall and used the key from Neville's room to open it. The door creaked open and the two of them entered the Master Bedroom. There was a huge bed, two windows, a dresser, and a mirror. There was also a closet as well. That's when Luigi and Violet saw a woman ghost sitting by the mirror. She had blonde hair, yellow eyes with no pupils, a light purple aura, and wearing a red nightgown.
Luigi whispered, "Who is that?"
Violet pulled out the Game Boy Horror and saw that her name was Claudia, the wife to Neville. 'Push away the curtains, let in the draft.'
She whispered, "Can you manage that?"
The green clad ghost plumber nodded as he pushed away the curtains, capturing Claudia's attention. She was startled by it and Luigi sucked her into the Poltergust 3000. Once the lights were on yet again, another treasure chest appeared. Violet opened it and another key popped out.
Luigi commented, "Seems like that this mansion has many keys to many locked doors."
Violet stated, "As long as we keep moving forward, that's fine and dandy."
Luigi nodded in agreement as they left the Master Bedroom, hand-in-hand. That's when they heard some crying from down the hall.
He questioned, "A baby...in a ghost mansion...?"
She asked, "Is that at all possible?"
Violet unlocked the door as the two of them entered the Nursery. It was indeed decorated like a baby's room and floating in the crib was a ghost baby. He had a blue ghost body, yellow pupils, and wearing a yellow baby suit, with a blue and yellow pacifier in his mouth, and a red bib. Violet shivered as she pointed the Game Boy Horror at the baby. That's when they found out that the baby's name was Chauncey. 'Make sure that you play ball with him.'
Luigi puzzled at this as he picked up a ball and threw it at Chauncey, making it hit him.
Luigi commented, scratching the side of his head, "Whoops..."
Violet joked, "Child abuse on Chauncey much?"
Chauncey stated, "Ow! You gave me an owie! I just wanted to play with you... I HATE grown-ups! ...why do you have to be bigger than me? I've had enough!"
Luigi looked at Violet and said, "I think we're in trouble."
Violet hissed, "You think?!"
Chauncey chanted, "Small! Now grow smaller! Small! Itsy! Tiny! Little! Wee! Ga ga goo goo GA!"
Suddenly, a flash of light blinded Luigi and Violet as they hung onto the other. When Violet opened her eyes, she saw Luigi knocked out next to her. Their fingers were interlaced somehow as the purple clad woman saw that they were smaller than usual. Chauncey hovered over them, larger than when they saw him last. Violet's eyes widen in fear as she screamed, making Luigi wake up instantly. He saw the situation they were in and threw himself over Violet.
Violet's eyes widen in horror as Chauncey attacked Luigi with his floating and flying horses. Luigi was thrown back by the blow, making Violet rush to his side.
She breathed, terrified, "Weegie, no!"
Luigi's forehead was bleeding pretty badly as he was out cold. Violet managed to stop the bleeding, petrified. Chauncey cried and Violet swore that it was the most horrifying sound in the world. She turned around as Chauncey had several balls in the crib. Eyeing those and the Poltergust 3000, she knew what she had to do. She grabbed the vacuum off of Luigi's back and with some knowledge, she picked up a ball and hit Chauncey with it.
Chauncey screeched, "Ow!"
Violet started to suck up the ghost baby, as Luigi came to. When he saw Violet facing her fears and sucking up Chauncey, he blushed. She was facing her fears...to protect him. Finally, Violet sucked Chauncey into the Poltergust 3000 and the spell was broken. Violet's eyes opened from passing out as she looked around for Luigi. She saw the golden chest in the right hand corner and she assumed that they were another key in it.
A voice shouted, "Vi!"
Violet looked up and saw Luigi next to her, safe and sound. He was still hurt but he was wearing a smile a mile wide. Luigi took out the pink key in the gold chest and placed it in his pocket. Luigi then hugged Violet, even though she was still in shock that she had defeated Chauncey. The realization finally sank in as she looked at Luigi, stunned.
She questioned, "I did it?"
Luigi nodded and answered, "You did it! You defeated Chauncey!"
Violet started to celebrate, jumping up and down in joy. Luigi spun them around, picking up Violet without a problem. Both of them laughed as Luigi placed her down but held Violet close. Luigi stroked her cheek as Violet trembled at his touch, realizing that she was in love. Luigi realized it too as their noses touched. Luigi was about to finally kiss Violet but the Game Boy Horror ringing broke them apart. Violet brought it out, a bit disappointed.
She asked, "What's up, Elvin?"
Elvin questioned, "Violet & Luigi, can you hear me?"
Luigi answered, "You bet we can!"
Elvin stated, "Oh thank goodness you are both okay! I lost contact with you both all of the sudden. I was a tad worried."
Violet replied, "We're okay, professor!"
Luigi wrapped an arm around Violet's shoulders and added, "Vi here defeated Chauncey when he knocked me out!"
Violet blushed feverishly as she thought, 'Anything for you, Weegie.'
Elvin commented, "Well, that is a surprise! But congrats! You both seem rather tired, why don't you come on back to the lab?"
Violet stated, "Sounds good to me."
Luigi nodded in agreement as he replied, "We'll be there soon."
With that, Violet hung up on Elvin as Luigi brought Violet to his body. Violet blushed feverishly again as their noses touched yet again. Violet giggled, loving being close to him.
She asked, "What are you doing?"
He answered, "Something I should've done a long time ago."
As he said that, Luigi started to lean in and kissed her gently. Violet returned it, in shock. But eventually, the shock subsided as she wrapped her arms around Luigi's neck. Luigi wrapped his arms around Violet's waist and held her close. It was a gentle and soft kiss, perfect for a couple just starting out. Luigi broke the kiss as Violet smiled at him. Luigi did the same as they took each other's hand and headed out the door.
She questioned, "So does this mean that we're a couple now?"
He answered, with a wide smile on his face, "Defiantly."
Elvin decided to take the Poltergust 3000 and turned the ghosts back into paintings while Luigi & Violet rested. But he explained the process that he used of how to make ghosts first (which defiantly made Luigi and Violet sleepy). It involved his machine called the Ghost Portrificationizer. The machine lets them turn the ghosts into paintings and vice versa. The process is short, though. (Even though Elvin's explanation was long.)
Luigi held Violet in his arms as they laid on the couch together. Luigi kissed her head. Violet smiled at him and realized that she owed him an explanation about her fear of ghosts. She looked up at Luigi.
She asked, "I owe you a story don't I?"
He answered, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but I am interested."
Violet nodded as she stated, "Well, it all started when I was a little girl in Chicago. I was about 6 or 7 at the time and I was visiting my grandma. She told me that once in a full moon, grandpa visited her from beyond the grave. I didn't believe her but when the full moon came, my grandpa's ghost came into my room. He was displeased that I didn't believe grandma and marked my cheek with this scar."
Luigi questioned, holding her closer, "Why did he do that?"
Violet answered, "To teach me a lesson that ghosts do exist. However, I've been petrified of ghosts ever since."
Luigi took off his glove, much to Violet's surprise. He traced her left cheek and the scar. Violet trembled as she looked at Luigi.
He stated, "I understand. You are afraid that a ghost will do that again. And I'm guessing Neville didn't help much..."
Violet shook her head as Luigi leaned in and kissed her gently. Violet returned it as she placed her hands on Luigi's chest. Luigi wrapped his arms around Violet's waist as he held her close to his body. Violet felt like she was in heaven. Luigi felt the same way, in total heaven. He deepened the kiss as the two of them made out on the couch. Luigi thought, 'This is amazing. Making out with her...' Violet thought, 'Making out with him is truly amazing.'
Luigi and Violet broke out of their kiss. Violet smiled at him as Luigi kissed her forehead, yawning.
She asked, "Tired?"
He nodded and answered, "Yeah, let's get some sleep before we go back into the mansion."
Violet closed her eyes, laying her head on Luigi's chest. Luigi smiled as he held her there. Violet was asleep instantly, feeling protected and loved. Luigi closed his eyes and breathed calmly. He couldn't believe that he was sleeping with a girlfriend in his arms. And it wasn't just any girlfriend...it was HIS girlfriend. Luigi instantly went to sleep, still a little worried about his brother but happy that Violet was his girlfriend.
AK1028: Yes, it finally happened! Luigi and Violet are finally together! I rather liked this chapter, it was pretty good since Violet faced her fear of ghosts. Please read and review! And always think outside of the box!
