Once again, I don't own anything in this story, and once again R&R is accepted, and wanted.

Chapter 1
Ninten was sitting in his room reading... He was your average teenager, 16 years old, didn't play many sports, mostly because of his asthma, but he loved baseball, and played whenever he could. Suddenly the house started shaking, as if it was being torn down. Outside his room he heard a woman scream. Ninten bolted for the door, to see what the hell was going on, but before he could make it out, his lamp leapt at him!

"What the...!" Ninten shouted. Without warning the lamp SMASHed him in the stomach. "I better end this quickly and see if the girls are okay..." Grabbing the cracked baseball bat in the corner of his room, Ninten got the lamp in his sight, and waited for the lamp to make it's next move. Once again the lamp jumped at him, but this time he was ready, Ninten swung with all his might and, anticlimactically, missed... The lamp rebounded from its jump and hit Ninten right in the back. Ninten didn't take another chance at batting and just SMASHed the lamp's body. This must've done the trick, because the lamp wasn't moving anymore. Running out the door and downstairs, he saw his mother freaking out downstairs...

"Oh... It must be a poltergeist, oh... if only your father was here... Maybe..." his mother said...

And as if on queue, the phone rang. "That must be your father..." Ninten ran over to the phone and answered it.

"Ninten? What's going on there? It sounds like the house is about to fall down." Ninten quickly explained what was going on. "Really? The poltergeist must be after something in the house... Whatever, what count's now is the family, you should check up on your sisters! Call me back if or when it stops."

::Click:: "Beep, beep, beep."

Ninten hung up the phone and rushed up stairs. He ran into the first room on the left, Minnie's room...

"Oh Ninten! Thank god you're here! There's something wrong with my dolly!" Minnie shouted. The doll suddenly came to life and attacked Ninten, he ran at the doll, raising the bat, and swung at the doll. Direct hit! The doll was stunned, but quickly regained its senses, it leapt towards Ninten's face. SMASH! Ninten hit the ground hard, but jumped right up.

"Man, this doll has one hell of a right hook..." Ninten said. Regaining his stance, Ninten went on the defensive. The doll went on the attack again, this time Ninten dodged swiftly, and counter-attacked the doll. It went down but it still wasn't out. Ninten and the doll traded blows for awhile more, when suddenly he gathered all the strength he had, and SMASHed the doll right into the wall, breaking his trusty bat permanently. He knew this time it wasn't getting up. Immediately after the doll breaking, the house returned to normal.

"Ninten... maybe you better check my dolly, I think I see something..." Minnie said. He cautiously walked towards it, inside the doll, he found a music box.

"What the...?" Without warning the music box started playing...

"Take a melody..." Ninten remembered the tune and went to check up on his other sister. "Seems like it's all over..." Ninten thought to himself. Walking back downstairs he saw his mother putting the furniture back up.

"Ninten, maybe you should call your father now..." his mom said...

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea..." Ninten picked up the phone and called his dad's work number.

::Ring ring! Ring ring!:: "Hello? Oh, Ninten. How's it going? So you stopped the disturbance? That's good... This reminds me of something, your great grandfather's diary is in the basement... Now if only I could remember where the key was..."

"Hmm, where could the key be...?" Ninten thought... Even after tearing the house apart, he couldn't find it...

"Have you checked outside the house honey?" his mom suggested.

"Hey, that's a good idea... Hold on." Ninten then bolted out the door and searched the yard...

"Bark bark!" Ninten also had the ability to understand what animals said. Translated, this is what the dog said: "Hey Ninten, maybe you should check my collar, it's been bugging me for awhile now..."

"Yeah okay..." He took off the collar, and found a small key taped to the inside edge of it... "Wow! Thanks King, you found the key!"

"I didn't so squat, but thanks for fixing that problem."

Ninten walked back into the house and opened the basement door...::Gulp:: "I've never been down there before..." He walked cautiously down the stairs holding what was left of his bat. It was pitch black down there, and no light switch, he could barely make out three boxes, he walked over to the first one and opened it up. There was a bread roll inside. Ninten took it. He walked over to the next box, inside was a plastic Tee-ball bat... "Hmm, not as good as my other one, but it'll have to do for now... And now for the final box..."
