It seems like a rather drastic title, but you'll know why when you read the story. The story takes place in a big house.

The characters in this chapter are: Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Luigi. Yes almost all the Mushroom Kingdom people. (except for Yoshi)

If you feel strange reading any of my chapters, tell me about it so I'll know in later chapters. This chapter could get a little scary in the later parts. If you feel sick reading it then tell me. This will probably be one of the scariest chapters in my story. PLEASE TELL ME IF IT DISTURBS YOU, I'M SERIOUS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Disclaimer- I do not own Super Smash Brothers or any of the characters in this story.

As I sit in the chair next to Capt. Falcon, I think about my first real case. I hope it isn't going to be boring. Just then, the telephone rings. Capt. Falcon answers it, I stare at him. After about a minute he looks at me and says.

"Are you ready?"

I nod my head yes and Capt. Falcon stands up.

When we first arrive at the crime scene, I see the ambulance and the police standing around the outside of the house. We go inside and they take us through the first few corridors.

"Are you ready to see what's in store for you." he asks me.

"Of course." I said with a little shiver in my voice.

We enter the next two rooms and we see the victim. He is laying face first with blood spatters all over the walls and floors.

"So, who's the victim?" asks Capt. Falcon

"It turns out that it's the owner of the house, Mario." says the police man.

"Hm, well Ness are you ready to get to work." says Capt. Falcon

"Uh, yeah." I say.

At first sight I froze, I couldn't bring myself to get any closer to the corpse than I was now. How could Capt. Falcon be so calm when there was a dead body lying there on the ground? I questioned myself about this many times, until Capt. Falcon broke me from my thoughts.

First we had to determine the suspects, we went to meet up with his wife Peach. We questioned her about many things.

"How long were you married to Mario?" asked Capt. Falcon

"For seven years, we were so happy together. I never thought anyone would kill my Mario." says Peach.

As she talks, I see a strange twinkle in her eyes. I had a strange feeling that she was trying to hide something, apparently Capt. Falcon didn't notice.

"Does Mario have any brothers or sisters?"

"He does have a brother named Luigi, he lives atwomiles away from here." says Peach

There it was again! That same twinkle I saw before. I started to think about it without jumping to conclusions. I decided to wait until we questioned Luigi, just to be on the safe side.

We arrived at the house around 10 am. We knocked, no answer. We knocked again, but still no answer. When we started to walk away, the front door opened and a man walked outside. He wore the same kind of overalls as Mario.

"Uh, yes?" says the man

"Are you Luigi?" asks Capt. Falcon.

"Yes, what seems to be the problem?" ask Luigi.

"Did you know that your brother was murdered?"

"Huh, wha-what are you talking about?" says the Luigi.

"You didn't know that your brother was murdered?" asks Capt. Falcon

"No, I had no clue what so ever."

"We'd like you to answer a few questions about the murder."

"Uh, sure." he says

He offers us inside, we take a seat at the kitchen table. He offers us something to drink, but we decline it and start to question him.

"Where were you on the day of the murder?"

"I haven't been anywhere, I just usually stay in my house and don't worry about other things."

"Okay, then do you ever go to visit your brother Mario?"

"Never, we had a fight a long time ago and we haven't seen each other since."

"What was the argument about?"

"I was about the pet that Mario had. It is worth a fortune, so I told him to sell it. But, like always he refused, I was trying to help him, then he starts to attack me and I ran out of the house."

"What is the pet?"

"It is known as a Yoshi, it's very valuable and could make the most poor rich. As they say."

"Where could we find this Yoshi?" asks Capt. Falcon.

"Where else, Mario's house." says Luigi.

We start to head back to the crime scene, in search of the Yoshi. When we arrive, we walk inside the house.

"Have you seen a wierd animal around here?" asks Capt. Falcon.

"You meen the green thing in the backyard? Yeah." says the police man.

We head around the house and through the gate. We come across two men restraining the animal. "Is this the animal?" says Capt. Falcon.

"I guess so."

The two men hold the yoshi down. "Dammit, let me go!" says the animal.

"It, it talks!" I say.

"What's wrong, never heard a yoshi talk before?" he says in a harsh way.

"No, I've never even seen a yoshi before."

"Would you please let me go?" says the yoshi.

The men let go of the yoshi. We start to walk towards him, but he starts to back away.

"What do you want?" says the yoshi.

"Are you Mario's pet?" says Capt. Falcon.

"P-PET! DID YOU JUST CALL ME A PET! YOU FOOL! I WAS NEVER MARIO'S "PET"." screams the yoshi.

"Well, from what we've heard, you are the pet of Mario." says Capt. Falcon.

Capt. Falcon what are you doing, you're going to make the yoshi mad. Are you trying to dig your own grave? I hope it doesn't attack us.

"Grr..ugh...agh. What if I am?" says the yoshi.

"You talk right?"

"WELL DUH! ARE YOU FREAKING STUPID!" screams the yoshi.

"Very well, where were you on the night of the murder!" asks Capt. Falcon.

Awkward silence

"...I was here, where else would I be! DIPSTICK!"

Capt. Falcon, you amaze me with your stupidity. Looks like it's up to me.

"Uh, yoshi--"

"It's Apple."

"Apple?" asks Capt. Falcon.

"What's wrong with my name! I'm named after the Granny Smith apples."

"Right."

"Um, Apple, how did you come across Mario?" I ask.

"How did I come across Mario? He stole me from my family. He calls it "saving me from danger", but I call it theft."

So Mario took you from your home, now he's not as inocent as I thought. He must of also done other things.

"How long have you known Mario?"

"Three years of feeding me nothing but crap everyday."

"I guess that's it." I say.

We start to head into the house again, we have all the information from the family, and pet we need to figure out who killed him. Now we have to determine how he died. When we arrive inside we go to room where Mario was killed. I start to examine the body, even though it's freaking me out. I ask the police man to turn him around. I look at the face-up body and see a blood stain from his stomach.

"Capt. Falcon, look at this." I point him towards the stomach. "It looks like someone stabbed him in the stomach." says Capt. Falcon. "He must have been standing up when it happened."

I look around the body and see rope marks around his wrists. The person whokilled him was crazy, it seems that he played "Cat 'n Mouse" with Mario. Mario must of been tied up and they made him run for his life through the house. I don't want to get any more graphic than that.

"Capt. Falcon, the person who killed him must of been crazy." I say.

"How so?" he asks me.

"...The killer must have played a game with Mario. A game that many killers like, "Cat 'n Mouse"."

"...I see." says Capt. Falcon "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

The killer must have removed the ropes to hide some of the evidence, but I knew that it was either Yoshi, Peach, or Luigi. There were no neighbors around for another two miles, so I doubt any of them would come here.

I examine the notes I took, I study them for about ten minutes. I went to go find Peach and ask her some questions of my own. When I find her, I see her in the exact same spot as before. It is now 12 p.m. How could she just sit there for two and a half hours without getting up? I walk over to her, and ask her a question.

"Uh, Peach?"

"Yes?"

"I'd like to ask you a few more questions if that's okay."

"Sure thing." she says.

"Okay, when we were questioning you earlier, why did I see a small faint twinkle in your eyes?" I knew I was on to something.

"Uh, um, it was a tear drop. I was crying for the loss of Mario." says Peach.

I knew she was lying, she said all that at the spur of the moment. I decide to ask her another question.

"Did he ever attack you?" I ask.

At that point, she froze. She just sat there and stared at me.

"Uh, never. He would never do that to me!"

After that, I headed back to the scene of the crime. I ask Capt. Falcon if we can go see Luigi again.

"Sure thing." he says.

We arrive at Luigi's house at 12:30 pm. We knock on the door and Luigi answers.

"Yes, what is it now?"

"I'd like to ask you some more questions, if that's okay." I said.

"I guess."

He asks me if I want to come inside, but I say no.

"This won't take long, I just want to ask you three questions."

"What did you think of your brother?"

"I, I loved my brother, I mean he was my brother." He said with a faint shiver in his voice.

"Did you get along with your brother when you were little?"

"Of course, we were like two peas in a pod."

Something seemed wrong, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Okay, just one more question. ...If you had the yoshi, than would you have sold it?"

I knew I caught him off guard, he had a moment of thought and finally said.

"...No, I'd never sell the yoshi. I started to grow on that yoshi, it was like a second brother to me."

"Okay, I'd like you to come to the house at 5 pm tonight. Is that alright?"

"It's okay with me." he says.

"There will be police men to show where to go in the house." I say

We leave the house and we head back to the crime scene. When we come back, we tell Peach to meet in the room of the murder at 5 pm tonight and we tell Apple to meet us there too. We wait till 5 pm. Me and Capt. Falcon play cards and get our facts straight until then.

5:00 PM

Finally, the moment of truth. We walk into the room, once inside we look around the room. We see that they have all come. Mario's body has already been moved out of the room by then. It is just me, Capt. Falcon, Peach, Apple, and Luigi in the room.

"I have called you all here today because one of you is the killer."

"What are you talking about, none of us killed Mario." says Peach.

"It is true, one of you is the killer and I plan to find out now. I will start off with Peach. Peach, when we started asking you questions, I noticed a certain twinkle in your eyes. You seemed like you were proud of Mario being dead."

"I would never think that!" says Peach.

"If so, than why did you freeze up when I asked you if Mario had attacked you before?"

"Um...uh."

"Mario had attacked you before, you felt that Mario hated you and felt bad. But really Mario felt bad for himself, for all the things he did in the past. So he took it out on you. You wanted revenge, but you weren't alone. You had someone else to help you, and that was Luigi!"

"What?" says Luigi.

"You helped Peach plan the murder. You were mad at Mario because he wouldn't give you the yoshi. You had the perfect reason to too. You wanted to sell the yoshi for money, and not only that, but you wanted Peach to yourself. You also did it for pride, he had taken that away from you as a little kid. He would tease you in front everyone which hurt you inside. You felt torn up and also wanted revenge."

"I would never do that!" says Luigi.

"That's what you wanted me to believe! When we went to your house for the second time, you were a little nervous that we showed up again. You thought you were off the hook, and didn't expect us to come back. So your voice was shivery which gave you away."

"Can you prove that we killed Mario?"

"We could, if you want us to search your house for the rope you used to tie him up. When I examined the body, I saw rope marks on his wrists."

I didn't want to tell the story. It was too horrifying, but I had to.

"Two nights ago, Peach let Luigi into the house. They planned the murder, first Peach lured Mario into the Parlor. Once there, she tied him up and told him to run for his life. Mario looked around the corner and saw Luigi holding a knife. He got up and ran through the house. Luigi was right on his heels. Luigi jumped on him, turned him around, and stabbed him in the stomach. He bled to death there and Peach stayed at Luigi's house for the next day. You returned and called the police and the detectives, us. You thought you would get off free but it turns out that you didn't. Capt. Falcon, get one of the police men and tell them to search Luigi's house for the rope."

"I'm on it."

"If they are the murderers, than why am I here?" said Apple.

"You're here, because you saw everything. Isn't that right?"

"Oh, yeah I did." says Apple.

Capt. Falcon returned and we walked out of the room. The police men walked into the room and handcuffed Peach and Luigi.

"How did they figure it out?" says Luigi. "HOW? We planned it so well."

"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law..."

A few days later, they found the rope which was used to aid in the murder of Mario.

"You did good kid." says Capt. Falcon "Yes, it may be a scary thing, but this is the life of a detective."

"I understand." I say.

My first case, and what a thriller it was. I was shooken after that, and had nightmares of the case. I hope the rest of my cases won't be as scary as this one.

The perfect thriller for Halloween. Please tell me if thechapter disturbed you, I can't stress this enough. PLEASE. Like I said before, this will probably be the most scariest of all my chapters. It depends on you. Goodbye everyone, I shall see you all in Ness's next big case.
