Author's Note: Yes... I was a little divider-happy this chapter. Sorry if that bothers you... well, enjoy!

Last time on 10 Tips On Surviving A Horror Story...

Luigi: Oh crap! We're all gonna die!

Wario: What the crap are you so scared about? It's just a stupid old house.

All but Wario: Gasp!

Luigi: Shhh! You'll make them angry...

Wario: ...Who's them?


Skeleton: You will pay for disturbing my rest!

Wario: ...Oh snap.

The skeleton zaps Wario with his evil ghost powers, and Wario disappears in a puff of smoke.


Mario opens the closet door to find...

Mario, Luigi, and Bowser Jr.: Yoshi!


Bowser Jr.: What the crap are you doing here!

Yoshi: Remember when you bet me 10 dollars I couldn't last 30 minutes here... 2 weeks ago?

Yoshi glares at Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr.: Oh... ummmmmmmmmm.. sorry... (Dang! Should have told him to go to the old abandoned candy factory...)

Yoshi: Huh?

Bowser Jr.: Oh, nothing.


Meanwhile, out in the yard...

Peach: Wow, it's been a lot longer than 30 minutes since they went in. I should probably get some help or grilled cheese sandwiches.

Peach goes to the police station.


Tip #3: If you tell anyone that your friends have been kidnapped by ghosts, they probably won't believe you. In fact, they'll probably think you've gone crazy.

Peach: Some of my friends went into that old abandoned mansion down the street about an hour ago and they still haven't come out! I think they've been kidnapped by ghosts! Send in the SWAT team!

The policemen stare at Peach for a few moments. Suddenly they burst out in laughter.

Peach: Wait! I'm serious! Come on! SHUT UP!

The policemen, who don't seem to hear her, keep laughing. Peach sighs and leaves. She decides to go to her favorite restaurant to think about what she'll do now.


Peach: I'll figure this out. All I need is a mushroom- and- grilled cheese sandwich or two. Or three.

Suddenly, Peach sees a familiar face at one of the nearby tables.

Peach: Daisy! Funny meeting you here! I thought you didn't like grilled cheese.

Daisy: Nah, I come here for the chili. What's on your mind today?

Peach: Well... it's a long story...

Peach tells Daisy the whole story behind this fanfic, which I'm not going to write because you already know it. If you don't, I don't think you've been paying attention.

Daisy: I've got an idea!

Daisy jumps up, pulls out her cell phone, and starts dialing.

Daisy: (on the phone) Toadette? Hi, it's Daisy! Could you meet us at that old mansion down the street from Peach's castle? Ok, great! Oh, yeah, and bring some Ghost-Away Spray and a mushroom sack, too. We've got some ghosts to hunt.


Back at the mansion...

Mario: Ok, now let's find Wario.

Yoshi: Why? I thought you didn't like him.

Mario: Because he owes me money. Now, let's go down this hallway.

Luigi: Oh, no! Nope! My Luigi senses (TM) are tingling!

Yoshi: Mine are too!

Mario: ...You don't even have Luigi senses (TM).

Yoshi: Exactly my point!

All but Yoshi: ...

Mario: Well, anyway, let's go.

Mario, Luigi, Bowser Jr., and Yoshi nervously walk down the hallway.


Tip #4: If you're walking along a dark hallway in a creepy haunted mansion, never lean against any walls.

Bowser Jr. yawns and leans against a wall.

Bowser Jr.: You know, I still think this is a bad idea. I don't know about you, but I'm heading back to maybe take a nap or-

Suddenly, there is a loud creaking noise. The wall turns around, taking Bowser Jr. with it!

All: OH NO!


What the crap just happened? Is Bowser Jr. ok? When will Peach, Daisy, and Toadette get here? Will Staple Sauce write a better chapter next time?

Staple Sauce: (sigh) Yes.

Find out in the next chapter (or so!)
