Stitch's Mansion
Stitch's Mansion
Chapter 7
Sitch and Bonnie headed toward the hallway of the foyer.
They went to the left door of the foyer.
Just then, they heard a beeping sound.
Stitch and Bonnie jumped.
Then Stitch looked at the Game Boy Horror.
'Oh,' Stitch said with a sigh of relief, 'It's just this.'
He looked at the Game Boy Horror and Professor E. Gadd appeared on the screen.
'Hold on a sec Stitch!'he said., 'It's me, Professer '!
He stopped when he saw Bonnie.
'Um, who's this?' he asked Stitch.
'Oh, this is my cousin Bonnie,' Stitch said to , 'she was wondering when she was searching for Angel.'
'I see,' said,'anyway,I detect spirits stronger than you who've been seen lurking ahead.
I think it must be those escaped gallery ghosts! You should know that they're stronger and really different from the other ghosts you've seen so far. They don't show their hearts very easily. When you find one, use the X button, search their weakness. Then you can surprise them!'
'Gallery ghosts?' Stitch said.
'Oh yeah,' said , I haven't explained about them yet, did I? I had 21 paintings in my Famous Ghost Collection,but they escaped again! The reason I said again, is because Luigi, the guy I mentioned before, faced them that time and put them back into the paintings. Unfortunally, they've escaped again.'
'I see,' Stitch said.
'Well Stitch and Bonnie, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you two.'
Then he hung up.
'Oh boy,' Stitch said, rolling his eyes, ' this is not gonna be easy.'
'You said it,' Bonnie said.
Stitch gulped.
'You ready?' he asked Bonnie.
'Ready when you are, Stitch,' Bonnie retorted.
Stitch took a deep breath and unlocked the door.
It was pitch black inside.
Stitch and Bonnie stepped inside.
Just then he felt something that felt like metal.
He looked down.
Gold coins.
'Wow!' Bonnie said, 'I could use this'!
Stitch rolled his eyes.
He knew how much Bonnie loved money.
He watched as Bonnie was picking the coins one by one.
When he saw where the coins were leading he got worried.
'Bonnie!' Stitch yelled,'don't open that door!'
'Why?' Bonnie said, reaching for the knob.
'I sense something ominous about that door', Stitch said.
'Oh, grow up,' Bonnie said, grabbing the knob and flinging the door open.
All of a sudden, the door swang opened squishing Bonnie in process.
Then the door closed leaving Bonnie flat as a paper, falling on her face then becoming her regular shape again.
'Oh my god, are you alright?!' Stitch said immediately, rushing to her.
'Yeah I'm fine,' Bonnie said, rubbing her head, 'maybe I should listen to you.'
'You should,' Stitch said,'this is no ordinary house. I sense a lot of traps here.'
'Ok,' Bonnie said.
They wandered the hall looking for an open door.
Let's see here…' Stitch said checking the Game Boy Horror, 'the only door that's open is that door on the right.'
He pointed to the door close to the exit of the hall.
'OK let's go then, Bonnie said.
They walked in the hallway finding ghost mice crawling everywhere in the hall.
To Stitch's surprise, they didn't seem to hurt them.
Moving on, Stitch and Bonie reached the door on the right, near the exit.
Stitch opened it and found out sort of a bookshelf containing many books on 2 shelves, a fire place in the middle of the room, a desk on the right with a feather pen in an ink bottle, more books and a rocking chair on the left.
It appears they were in the study.
It was dark of course.
'Stitch look out!' Bonnie said.
Stitch jerked his eyes to the right and a book seemed to lunge at him!
With quick reflexes he sucked the book in with the vacuum!
'Yyyes!' Stitch said.
'Um…Stitch?' Bonnie said pointing at the rocking chair.
It was moving on its own.
'Whoa, creepy,'Stitch said.
He took out the Game Boy Horror and examined the chair.
His eyes made out an aqua green ghost sitting on the chair, with reddish blond hair and a wide mustache, dressed in a purple robe, reading a book.
Bonnie covered her mouth.
Stitched examined his heart.
It said : 'Ho ho ho ho… Go ahead, try to find me. I can see you, but you cannot see me…Ho ho ho ho…'
'Well, that is useless,' Stitch said.
'I guess,' Bonnie said, 'how are we gonna get out of here?'
Suddenly, Stitch got it.
'Stand still,' he commanded Bonnie.
Stitch waited for the right moment.
Just then Stitch and Bonnie heard a loud yawn.
The heart exposed itself on the reading ghost and , with perfect timing , Stitch sucked him in!
He had a really aggressive grip which didn't bother Stitch, since he is strong.
After struggling somewhat, he managed to suck the ghost in.
Then the room lit up and a chest appeared.
Bonnie stood there, stunned.
'H-how did you-?'she said.
'I've got skills,' Stitch said.
Then he noticed that since the room was cleared, he could look at the books.
He walked up to the left shelf.
'Stitch, we don't have time for this,' Bonnie said.
'I just need to see if there's any clue,' Stitch said.
He looked over the shelf.
'Junk,junk,junk,junk,' Stitch said,'come on, is there any book that gives me clues?'
Just then something caught his eye.
A big blue hardcover book.
He picked it up.
It said : 'Neville's Big Baby Care Diary.'
'Ooooooh,this should be interesting,' Stitch said, 'maybe the ghost I captured is a father?'
He read it.
'Alright,' he said to Bonnie, 'it says, 'My third son is still a enough, he seems to scare people in ways the other two never did… The twins now…
They're afraid of fire,water cold and wind!
'Why, they shake with fright when beset by the elements!'
Somehow I think they're more childlike than the baby!'
'You're right, Bonnie said, 'it does sound interesting.'
'I'm keeping this in mind,' Stitch said as he put the book down.
'Let's see the rest,'Stitch said.
Bonnie made a noise.
'Look, do you want to get killed by the millions of ghosts that are in this house?' Stitch asked Bonnie, losing his temper.
'No,' Bonnie said.
Then help me look for clues,' Stitch said, ' you came here to help me look for Angel, not to watch me do everything!'
'I guess you're right,' Bonnie said.
She and Stitch rummaged through both bookcases.
'Stitch, I found something!' Bonnie said.
She picked up a pink hardcover book.
It said : 'Lydia's Child –Care Diary.'
'Let me read it,' Bonnie said. The book said : 'The twins are very shy for their ghost age…They've even gone and hid the key to their room far away in the mansion . How very tiring…They even got mad at me the other day for twirling their little toy helicopter mobile…Ghost children today! Who knows what their thinking?'
'Useful information,' Stitch said, 'Bonnie, make sure to keep that in mind.'
'I will,' Bonnie said putting down the book.
Stitch headed for the chest.
He opened a chest and picked up a key that led to the room on the left.
'Alright,'Stitch said to Bonnie, 'let's get out of here.'
They both walked to the left side of the hall and came to the door to the left.
Stitch opened it and walked in.
There was a bed on the left side, a lamp next to it, two windows on the left and right, a dresser with two picture frames and a mirror on the right side.
They were in the master bedroom.
'This is giving me the creeps,' Bonnie said.
'That's because it's filled with them,' Stitch said.
He took out the Game Boy Horror and examined the mirror.
He noticed a woman sitting in front of the mirror, pink robe, blond hair,green earrings,combing her hair.
Then he examined her heart.
It said : 'Isn't my hair just gorgeous? Of course,I do spend a lot of time on it. I was so bored cooped up in that painting…Now I spend all my time in front of the mirror. It seems to scare people,though,so everything is coming up roses!'
Stitch gave a blank stare.
'Um…..ok?' he said.
'Brrrr….. it's chilly in here,' Bonnie said hugging herself.
'That's it!' Stitch said.
He went to the curtain on right and pulled it open.
It seemed to chill the mirror ghost.
'Oh dear…Such a draft,' she said, getting up to close the curtain.
When she did that, her heart exposed itself.
'Such a draft indeed!' Stitch said,aiming the vacuum.
The ghost turned her head toward Stitch,and realized she was being sucked in!
She struggled to break free.
'You're not going anywhere!'Stitch yelled.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' she screamed and got sucked in.
Then the room cleared and a another chest appeared.
'Whew that was rough,' Stitch said.
He opened the chest and took out a key.
'Oh! I forgot something!' Stitch said.
He took out the Game Boy Horror and
pressed a button.
The screen showed how many ghosts he caught.
'Hrm…..so far we got two,' Stitch said.
'You know there's a lot more than just these two,' Bonnie said.
'Yeah, I'm not stupid,' Stitch said to
Bonnie.
'Wasn't saying you were,' Bonnie said.
Stitch rolled his eyes and countinued to look at the Game Boy Horror.
He noticed 2 heads on the ghosts he caught.
He clicked on the first one.
'Aha, there is more information on these ghosts!' he said.
'What do you mean?' Bonnie said.
'Look,' Stitch said, This one says, 'Neville The Bookish Father. Neville spends his afterlife reading all the books he missed while living.'
'That's creepy,' Bonnie said.
'I know,' Stitch said.
He clicked to the one next to it.
'This one says, 'Lydia The Mirror Gazing Mother. She's stashed her secret savings away to prepare for her long afterlife,' Stitch recited.
Bonnie's eyes lit up.
'Really?! Can we find it Stitch?! Can we?!' she squealed girlishly.
'NO,'Stitch said, grabbing Bonnie's arm, 'we need to focus on rescuing Angel.'
'Awwww…okay,' Bonnie said disappointed.
They walked out of the master bedroom.
All of a sudden, they heard a ghostly cry.
'Waaaaaah ,waaaah,'it wimpered.
It sounded pretty low.
Stitch and Bonnie got so startled they trampled on each other.
Stitch landed on Bonnie while Bonnie landed smack on the floor on her stomach.
'Sorry,'Bonnie said, 'I got startled.'
'No problem,' Stitch said,getting off Bonnie, 'me too.'
'It sounds like it's coming from that door over there,' Bonnie said pointing to a door on the right-left of the hallway.
Stitch gulped.
'OK let's go then,' he said.
Stitch and Bonnie walked to the right-left of the hallway and came apon a door.
'I'm ready,' Bonnie said before Stitch could say anything.
'I'm glad you are,' Stitch said.
He unlocked the door and him and Bonnie entered the room.
It was also dark.
But not as dark as the other rooms.
This one was really really dark.
Stitch and Bonnie couldn't even see the room.
'Good thing I have a flashlight,' Stitch said.
He listened for an unusual sound.
'Weird, I don't hear anything,' Stitch said,
'Me neither,' Bonnie said.
Stitch shoon his flashlight everywhere in the room.
He stopped as he reached a crib.
'Hmmmmm…..that looks suspicious,' Stitch said.
He took out the Game Boy Horror and examined it.
He saw a light blue baby in his crib with a pacifier in his mouth ,floating a few feet in the air.
He examined his heart.
It said : 'Horsey…rocky… horsey…'
'What?' Stitch said, 'I don' t get these ghosts. They don't make sense to me.'
'It's refering to this,' Bonnie said.
She moved Stitch's hand holding the flashlight,to a rocking horse.
'Oh….' Stitch said.
He felt a dumb not knowing that.
He rocked the horse's head with his left hand.
He heard the baby cry again then it appeared in front of Stitch and Bonnie.
'Whoa!' they said together.
The baby crawled in mid-air and said, 'Hey! Wanna play with me?
'Uh, sure why not?' Stitch said.
The baby sealed the door and all of a sudden random objects were being tossed at them.
'Whoa!' Bonnie said,dodgeing a vase, 'what king of 'play' does this kid understand?!'
'I don't know!' Stitch said dodgeing a block, 'I'm not the mother!'
Just then he saw something in the corner of his eye.
A ball.
'Wait!' Stitch said to Bonnie, 'I have an idea.'
He crawled on the floor and picked up the ball with his available hand.
He got up and aimed the ball toward the baby.
'See what it feels like to be hit with a ball !' Stitch yelled at the baby,then tossing the ball at it.
It hit the baby in the face!
'YES!' Stitch said in triumpth.
'Uh, Stitch?' Bonnie said her voice shaking, 'I don't think you made it happy.'
'What?' Stitch said, turning his head to the baby.
Bonnie was right.
He didn't make the baby happy.
The baby's eyes were glaring at Stitch and Bonnie.
'Ow! You gave me an owie!' it said, I just wanted to play with you… I HATE grown-ups!'
'We're not grown-ups,' Stitch said, we're aliens from a different galaxy.'
'I don't care!' the baby said , 'I hate people who are bigger than meeeee…. I've had enough!…..Small…
Now grow smaller!
Small! Itsy! Tiney Little! Wee! Ga ga goo goo GA!'
'He 's joking,' Stitch said to Bonnie.
'Oh, no I'm not!' the baby said.
He waved his rattle in his hand spun around and everything went black.
