Peach and Perry knew that they had to get to shelter, or else they would die of hypothermia. The only problem was, neither of them could see what they're doing or where they were going, due to the thick fog that surrounded them.

Peach felt like she had been wandering for hours navigating the fog and enduring the cold storm of rain and thunder, and she wasn't having it.

"That's it, I'm done being blind. Perry, I need to use your powers for a moment."

Using Perry's powers, Peach caused a cyclone that cleared out the fog, and they could both see again.

"There, much better."

Then, the corner of her eye caught a creepy-looking mansion that had a lightning strike in the background.

"Hey! There's shelter right over there, in that mansion!" Peach exclaimed.

"It's probably not safe, but what choice do we have?" Perry said as Peach walked onto the mansion's front porch.

She knocked the door and the door opened itself, surprising Peach and Perry.

"Well, still think we should go in?" Perry questioned.

Suddenly, lightning suddenly struck again behind them, startling the two inside the mansion lobby.

Then the door slammed on its own behind them.

"Okay, this is just creepy."

Next thing they knew, they heard a bunch of high-pitched bursts of laughter, which they could not locate.

"W-what was that?!" Perry stuttered, as the terrifying noise surrounded them.

"I recognize that laughter," Peach replied as she looked to her left to find a bunch of angry looking boos starting to chase them.

"They're Boos!"

"Run!"

Peach ran from those Boos as fast as her legs could go. But the boos were speeding up, faster and faster.

Finally, Peach got so focused on getting away from the boos that she failed to notice the Dry Bones troops in front of her.

As Peach was running, Dry Bones threw a bone at her ankle, causing Peach to trip forward and to accidentally throw Perry right into Dry Bones' hands.

"Peach, help!" Perry shouted as Dry Bones ran off through a door

"Perry!"

Peach tried to stand up to chase after Perry's kidnapper, but the problem was that she sprained her ankle when she fell, so it hurt to even stand up.

But Peach wasn't going to give up that easily. Remembering that she had healing powers, she touched her ankle to heal the injury.

Now that her ankle was healed, Peach ran up to the door Perry was taken through and opened to find three more doors.

"Uh oh, Perry could have been taken through any of those doors. Looks like I've got no choice but to guess which one."

Peach covered her eyes and pointed her finger at the three doors, and pointed towards the first one to the left. That was the door she decided to open.

"How about that one?"

Peach walked up to it and opened it to find a set of stairs leading to another door.

She went up the stairs and opened the door to find herself in another part of the room she was in originally. She had taken the wrong door.

Frustrated, Peach sighed.

"I guess it's going to be one of those days. I just hope Perry will be okay."

Back with Perry, the Dry Bones troopa had taken him to a dark room that was illuminated only by blue fire on top of a chandelier.

"Let me go, you freak!"

The Dry Bones threw him on the floor before Perry was trapped in a force field, by none other than Kamek.

"I'm glad you could drop by, boy. You can leave now, Dry Bones."

Dry Bones left while Perry, after some struggle, managed to prop himself against the wall of his prison and glared at Kamek in the eye.

"I don't get it, Kamek. One minute you're after Peach and then you're after me all of the sudden. Why?"

"King Bowser and I are very impressed with your ability to not only control people's emotions but to also turn them into energy. I've been asked to find out the secret behind those powers."

"I won't tell you anything." Perry snapped.

"I never said you needed to tell me. I just need my crystal ball to identify it."

Kamek took out his crystal ball, aimed it at Perry, and looked into it. And found something surprising.

"I...I don't believe this!"

Kamek looked into the crystal ball to find a yellow star, hanging above Perry's head. It couldn't be, could it?

Kamek looked back at Perry, who looked very confused.

"You're a Star Child!"

"A what?" Perry asked as the term Kamek used bothered his mind. Where has he heard that before?

"A Star Child is a special child born with special powers. Star Children are also born with a star in their hearts, which legend has it, is the source of a Star Child's power."

"So that explains my powers…" Perry muttered to himself.

"I better report this to Bowser. In the meantime, I have a friend who can keep you company."

At that moment, a huge Boo appeared, but the difference between him and the rest of the boos is that he had a crown on top of his head and looked intimidating. Perry gulped, realizing that he was stuck with this ghost for a while. At least, until Peach comes for him.
