Chapter 6: "Rock-a-bye Chauncey"
With key in hand, Luigi stepped back into the mansions foyer and crossed the balcony to another door. He stuck it into the keyhole and the door swung into a dark hallway. Luigi took a step inside and clicked on his flashlight.
No sooner had he stepped inside when he heard an awful sound. It sounded a lot like a crying baby, only ten times louder and ten times more horrible. "Luigi!" came E. Gadd's voice from the GBH (Game Boy Horror). "There's a vase to your left! Get behind it!"
Luigi did as he was told and peeked out from behind the vase, which was big enough to crouch behind. A door at the end of the hall opened and the crying sound blasted down the hall even louder then before.
Two ghosts floated out, but they had human features. The male ghost had an orange mustache, orange eyebrows and tall orange hair. He wore a blue robe and had a ghostly tail instead of feet. The female had long blond hair, rose red lips and green eyes. She wore a red robe. They were both talking to something that was kicking and screaming in the woman ghost's arms.
Luigi saw that it was a baby ghost. It wore a yellow baby's outfit and it held a rattle. It was crying buckets and the noise of it's bawling was awful.
"Please, Chauncey." The lady ghost said in a tired voice. "You need to sleep."
"NO!" the baby yelled. "NO NO NO NO NO!!"
"Please, Lydia." the male ghost said. "We have to do something. I'll never get to finish my book unless he keeps quiet!"
"Neville!" snapped Lydia. "He's been like this since the twins locked themselves in their room!"
As Luigi watched the scene from his hiding place, his GBH sprang to life again. "Luigi!" the professor said. "I know those ghosts! They escaped from my lab!" E. Gadd jumped up and down excitedly. "You need to catch them, Luigi!"
"What makes them so important?" Luigi said, barely able to hear over the baby's crying.
"Um…" E. Gadd looked a bit nervous. "Luigi…"
"What?" Luigi said.
"Look behind you!"
"What? I know. I can see that brat and his Trans-Parents! Haha! Get it, professor? Trans…Whoa!"
"Lydia, look at this thing." Neville lifted Luigi from behind the vase by The Poltergeist 3000.
"Waahhh!! Put me down!" Luigi yelled. The ghost had a strong grip.
"What sort of thing is that?" Lydia glided over to her husband. "Is it a living person?"
Chauncey seemed very interested, as he had stopped crying and was now staring at Luigi. "Ooh...Me want!" Chauncey said.
"What?! I'm not a toy!' Luigi yelled.
Chauncey looked like he was gonna throw a fit again. "Momma! I want him to play with me!"
Fearing another tantrum coming on, Neville did some quick thinking. "Er...D-don't worry, son. You can have him to play with."
"WHAT?" Luigi yelled.
"Yay!" Chauncey giggled.
Neville and Lydia hastily opened one of the doors at the end of the hall and tossed Luigi inside. He rolled across the floor and into a shelf, where several odds and ends rained down on his head. Luigi looked up, realizing he was in a dark playroom. Toys were scattered about, the peeling wall paper had pictures of pink ducks. Cobwebs hung like unfolded blankets from the baby's crib at the other end of the room.
"Now have fun, you two!" said Lydia before hastily slamming the door. Luigi found himself staring into the glowing face of the baby.
"Play with me!" Chauncey demanded.
"No way, you little brat." Luigi said, getting up.
Chauncey's eyes welled up and he started bawling, the force knocking Luigi over. "WAAAAAAAHHHH!!! PLAY WITH ME!!"
Luigi couldn't stand the awful noise. Over it, he shouted "Okay! Fine! "I'll play with you!"
Chauncey stopped bawling, wiped his eyes, and smiled. "Really?"
"Sure." Luigi said, feeling a little better.
"Okay then." Chauncey said. "Let's play...Rocking Horse Parade!"
"Oh boy." said a small voice from the GBH. "Good luck, kiddo." In E. Gadd's lab, the short scientist ducked for cover.
Ignoring this, Luigi looked up at Chauncey again. "How do you play?"
Chauncey giggled in a way babies do, only more sinister. "Well...I try and make you go sweepy-bye by throwing my rocking horse at you! HEE HEE HEE!"
"Er...I don't like the sound of that, professor...Professor?" Luigi glanced at the screen of the GBH and saw E. Gadd's army helmeted head sticking out from behind a makeshift barricade of books.
Luigi turned back to face the ghost...and just in time! He was barely able to dodge a flying rocking horse. Chauncey floated at the other end of the room. Suspended in the air around him were twenty floating rocking horses. He almost looked like a general, leading his Calvary into battle. Chauncey waved his rattle about and another rocking horse flew at Luigi. Luigi ducked aside and pointed his flashlight at the ghost, but nothing happened.
"Uh...Professor," Luigi said, dodging another rocking horse. "How am I supposed to beat this thing!?"
"Chauncey hates being hit by anything." came E. Gadd's voice from the GBH. "I know, I caught him before."
Luigi took E. Gadd's advice when he saw a rubber ball sitting next to the crib. Luigi rolled under one rocking horse that came at him and leapt over another. When he reached the ball, he switched on his Poltergeist 3000 and pulled the ball onto the nozzle, where it got stuck. Then, aiming at Chauncey, he turned it off. The ball shot forward and hit Chauncey in the head. He did a back flip in the air and rubbed his head. Immediately, all the rocking horses vanished a flash of purple light.
Chauncey rubbed his head, tears welling up in his eyes. "Owwww...You gave me an owie!"
"You'll get worse!" Luigi yelled, feeling suddenly braver. He switched the vacuum on and caught Chauncey in the suction. He put up a good fight, dragging Luigi all over the room. The door opened and Lydia and Neville looked in, only to be caught in the pull as well. Pretty soon, all three ghosts were pulled into the vacuum. Luigi grinned and sighed with relief.
E. Gadd leapt back on screen on the GBH. "You did it, Luigi! Well done, my boy! You caught all three at once!"
Luigi felt very proud of himself. "Yeah. It was tough, but I got 'em!"
"Okay, Luigi. Looks like you need to come back to the lab. I've got a couple things to tell ya."
"Er… Okay…" Luigi said. He turned and walked out the door, leaving the dark nursery.

Hi! Chapter 6! Yay! Erm...Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it! Thanks again to GamecubeGirl and The Time Traveler!
In other news, once I'm finished with this, I'm possibly start doing something with Kirby, Mario, or Metroid. Possibly something with all Nintendo mixed! Who knows.
See ya next chapter! :)
