The Mario Teens Explore A Haunted House Chapter 3

We join Luigi and Daisy as they are walking into the 2nd floor via a staircase in the 1st floor foyer.

Luigi: Now that we split up, something bad is going to happen. I know it. And it's going to happen TO ME!

Daisy: Don't be silly! The Scooby-Doo gang always spilt up and they always win! Sure Shaggy and Scooby are always scared, but it's all fake.

They finally made it to a hallway. Unfortunately for them, it was bleeding. Ghosts of rats and bats were every where.

Luigi: I d-d-d-don't like rats, bats, OR ghost...

Daisy: Don't worry, Luigi. Just step around them. It'll be okay. If anything happens, we're both here to protect each other.

Luigi: Why are we up here, anyway? I doubt there'll be an exit up here.

Daisy: Maybe we'll find and defeat the ghost and save the day!

Luigi: You just had to remind me.

Daisy: Sorry, let's go in this door...

They had walked up to a large, fancy door. Daisy reached out and turned the knob. Unfortunately for Luigi, it wasn't locked and it opened finely. Like it was gliding on air, or ghostly mist. It opened up to an ancient, beautiful if not scary ballroom. It had a dancing floor, a couple tables with chairs and place settings, a orchestra of self playing and floating instrument, and many blue glowing candles floating everywhere. Not only were there objects, but a ghost for every chair and tile on the dance floor. They were all dressed in old attire of '00, 1900 that is. The ghosts on the dance floor were all slow dancing to the haunting symphony.

Daisy: It's so beautiful!

It took here a bit to notice Luigi was balled up in a corner. Once again, he was humming the "Luigi's Mansion" theme song.

Daisy: **To herself** I fell in love with the chicken one...

She went over and held the jar of Waluigi's toe-nail clippings to Luigi's nose. Luigi stood up like an English guard, and then he fell like a board. Thankfully to Luigi's easy to break nose, Daisy caught him. Daisy flipped him so he'd be facing up. She thought of kissing him to wake him up, but then she simply slapped him up side the head.

Daisy: Wake up!

Luigi snapped out of his stiff and comatose state and fell to the ground.

Luigi: My butt...

By now, all the ghosts were staring at them.

Male ghost: **Sitting at a large table** What the hell?!

Daisy: **To the male ghost** Don't ask, just don't ask...

Male ghost (the same one): I'm Lester, and this is MY 127th death-day and I don't want any live children to interrupt.

Female ghost next to him: **To Lester** Now Lessy-wessy, let's let them stay. The might add some taste to this party.

Lester: Marge! Ever since LIVE man had made women's rights, you seem to be taken advantage of it!

Marge: Now don't start with that again! It's my death-day too!

Lester: Very well. **To Daisy and Luigi** sit down here **pointing toward to seats populated by too old male and female ghosts.** These are just my parent-in-laws, we can do without them.

The two ghosts murmured and disappeared. Daisy happily skipped to her seat while Luigi was nervously walking toward it, he left his seat far out from the table once he sat down.

A male ghost next to Luigi: **To Luigi** Hello, living gent. How are you? Ever been to a death-day party.

Luigi: **To the ghost** I can't say that I've had...

Ghost: I'm Nigel, and how are you and you're date?

Luigi: **To Nigel** Uh, I'm Luigi, **He nodded toward Daisy** this is Daisy...

Nigel: Really? That ghost next to her is also named Daisy.

Daisy heard this and looked over toward the ghost next to her. Daisy the ghost looked EXACTLY like Daisy as an adult.

Daisy: **To Daisy the ghost** Your name is Daisy too?

Daisy the ghost: **To Daisy** Why, yes! Your name's Daisy?

Daisy: **To Daisy the ghost** Exactly! I was named after an old relative. She lived just after the Civil War.

Daisy the ghost: **To Daisy** I lived just after the Civil War! Maybe I met her...

Daisy: **To Daisy the ghost** Yeah, maybe you met her...

Nigel and Luigi who were eves-dropping on the conversation cracked-up at how obvious it was. Both Daisies looked at Nigel and Luigi slightly made at them for laughing at them.

Nigel and Luigi: **To the 2 Daisies** Isn't it totally obvious?!

Both Daisies: **To Nigel and Luigi** NO!

Luigi and Nigel: **Luigi talking to Daisy and pointing toward Daisy the ghost. Nigel talking to Daisy the ghost and pointing toward Daisy** You're related to her!

Daisy and Daisy the ghost looked at each other strangely then cracked-up, both moving and laughing EXACTLY the same.

Daisy and Daisy the ghost sounding exactly the same: We're not related, sillies! I would've noticed!

Nigel and Luigi: Riiiiiiiiight...

Just then, a large rumble shook the ballroom violently. It seemed to be coming from the hallway. Another crashing sound shook the ballroom, this time a wall had numerous cracks in it.

Lester: Emergency! Everyone out! This is not a drill!

Nigel and Daisy the ghost: **To Luigi and Daisy** Good-bye!

All the ghosts immediately evaporated. Another crash caused a whole chunk of the wall to fly right off. The debris knocked Luigi and Daisy off their seats. Luigi and Daisy slowly backed up until they hit a wall, while a colossal mass ominously glided into the room, tracking a trail of mist. Luigi and Daisy screamed, but their attempts were futile. No one could hear then scream. The dark shape moved ever closer. Luigi and Daisy continued to scream, but mist surrounding they muted their wails for help. The closer the object move, the colder it got. Pure terror seized the room. They were trapped, trapped like so many goombas caught underfoot and killed. All was lost. Luigi blacked out...

The end... FOR NOW!!!
