Melvin Wright walked through the halls of his school. It was a bright and shining morning, ironically Melvin knew the day would be anything but cheery. Melvin wore his usual style. His hair slicked back in a fashion his mommy found adorable, thick framed glasses nicely cleaned and his pencil protector guarding his writing utensil. He held onto his backpack with a tight grip making his knuckles white. He held onto it like his hand was super glued to the strap or like two of those really flat Lego pieces stuck right on top of each other and you can't get a good grip on them, Oh, I hate that! ... Right. Anyways.

As he walked down the halls, his eyes scanned the hallways for any signs of danger. Danger? In school? Melvin attracted bullies and not just one bully but three. Jim, Eagle, and Zeke, those three were the main cause of Melvin's torture. And only him, no one else caught those three bullies' attention. Why did they pick on only him, you may ask? Well, Melvin as a smart boy, smartest kid in his class, probably the entire school. That was probably one of the reasons, but he was also able to determine that was probably because of his size. After all, what 16 year-old was smaller than a kindergartner?

Melvin, having walked for about 10 minutes, finally reached his locker. He grabbed it and spun the dial on his combination lock. 10-27-35... Boom, it opened. After a while of placing hings in his locker, such as books, and homework for later on, he closed his locker and pulled of the combination lock. He put it into his backpack and pulled out another lock, placing it on his locker, effectively replacing the locker's...lock.

He couldn't keep the same lock in this school. He was smart enough to not let his moronic teachers or stupid principal know about this. He didn't tell them about the bullying problem. His superior intellect wouldn't allow it. That, and no matter how much they interfered, he knew that it wouldn't be any use. He knew about all of his bullies' parents, and like they would scold them for it. In fact, Zeke's dad would probably applaud him for it. Those two reasons, and he couldn't wait until they were older and were at the bottom of the food chain in the real world, while he was up with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. But, oh, how he hated going to this wretched school. Why should he be here? He was clearly smarter then almost all of these older nimrods in his school. Why should the law tell him he has to go learn things he already knows?

There was only one thing left in his backpack, however, and it was the only thing that he couldn't leave in his locker. No, that'd be too obvious. He pulled out his Diary and took a look at it. "Melvin's Diary: Do not touch-this means you Zeke."Obviously, Zeke wouldn't listen to the empty threat, but, hey, he was angry that time he wrote it and it also happened to be in permanent marker. He sighed to himself as he ran to the other side of the school, which surprisingly, he was able to get to very quickly. Melvin tried his best to to be seen by the teachers on this side of the school. Mainly because he didn't want to be mistaken for the kindergarteners. After all, this side of the school was where those little snot nosed brats were. He found the door that led to the classroom of the little children.

He slowly, but quietly, opened the door to look inside. He looked inside the room and saw one of the kindergarteners writing on the blackboard. Since he memorized all of the schools members in it, he knew that this was a little girl named Willow, who just so happened to have a very snooty-rich grandmother who wouldn't allow her to make any friends. How pitiful. When he would become president he would be sure to have people like that outlawed. Or at least something similar to the president. He shifted his green orbs over to a small rack with a bunch of backpacks. He smiled evilly to himself. He pushed the door open slightly and crept into the room. He unzipped the first backpack he got his hands on, and slipped his diary into it, effectively protecting it from any bullying eyes.

"Oh, hello there." Melvin's eyes widened. "You must be the new student." He looked back to see the teacher of the class looking directly at him. And oh, how great it was that this as a substitute one. The sub wouldn't recognize him at all. But like that matters, considering the other teachers wouldn't either.

"Odd, I wasn't expecting to see you here today. The principal told me that you wouldn't be here until next week." Oh, great, it wasn't a sub, it was a permanent new one. Melvin rolled his eyes. He decided to play along for the rest of the day. He could deal with a day of tardiness on his permanent record. Especially considering how utterly moronic the school's computer systems were. He could easily hack into their defenses and change his grades. He sat in the class and took a day of what he would consider rest. It was surprisingly much like normal class. The only two notable differences were that it had a nap time and the classroom had an excuse to act as mature as they did. After eight hours of his day here spent, the bell rang.

"Oh, alrighty, kids. I'll see you next week when we'll continue our lesson." The teacher said, brightly. Melvin moaned. Oh, well. He just had to make it to his bus and he was Scott free for the weekend. He was going to build several sets of Bionicles and probably watch a few episodes of Star Trek. And maybe watch the Star Wars prequels. Just to complain about Jar Jar. He traversed all the way to his locker at the other side of the school. After placing in his combination, he opened his private/not-so-private place in the school and took his belongings. He shut the locker door and placed in the locker combination, locking it, once again. He made his way into the very large crowd of children, most of them not looking where they were going because they kept bumping into him. Heck, one of them even tripped over him. He rolled his eyes, "Such inconsiderate simpletons..."

Finally, he got outside and saw the yellow bus that would take him to his house. But to him, is was a heavenly golden automobile that would take him to heaven for a few days, or at least get him out of hell for a few of them. Melvin smiled as he bean to wonder what wondrous things he would do this weekend. from building wonderful creations, to reading amazing novels, maybe even writing his own stories in his dia-

Melvin stopped in his tracks. He realized that he never got his diary back. He face palmed at his temporary idiocy. The trek back to that snot-nosed brat facility would take forever. By the time he got back all of the buses would be gone. And that was even with the unbearably optimistic idea that the child's backpack was still there. But he didn't have much of a choice. Many an idea warped into his head of the outcome. One was that the girl would find the diary and find him to return it. Another was that she would keep it to herself and use it as her own, throwing out all of his old notes and other things. Or worse, she would read them. Perhaps even post them on the internet. Many more ideas came and went in the child's head, none of them particularly good. He groaned as he knew what he would have to do. Trek all the way back and somehow get it. He turned around on his feet before bumping into someone-or rather, someone's leg.

"Hello there, Melvin..."

Melvin looked up to see someone he hadn't wanted to see today. It was a skinny and tall teenaged boy. His hair was styled almost like a Mohawk, save for the fact that he didn't shave the rest of his head. He wore a pitch black, sleeveless t-shirt which was complimented very well by the white skull on it, along with his beat up jeans.

"Ugh... Hello, Zeke." Melvin said, in a tone that implied that he did not want to be here. Zeke, however, picked up on this.

"Aw... What's the matter? You don't wanna hang with your pals?"

"I'd rather go home, if that's alright with you, Ezekiel."

Zeke twitched at the mention of his full name. Melvin smiled smugly as he attempted to walk away, hoping that his temporary pause would be enough for him to escape. And it would be, had a fairly large, somewhat overweight teenager with a beard, grabbed him first.

"Hey! Jim! Lemme go!" Poor Melvin shouted.

"Nope!" Jim told the child, simply.

Another teenager, this one more skinny then Jim, came up to them both. He had, unlike Jim and Zeke, a much more luxurious head of hair then them. "I know this great hill that we came have some fudging fun on." Eagle said to Jim. His actual name was Aaron, but he preferred to be called Eagle. No one was sure as to why.

Zeke, finally getting back to reality, smiled sadistically and said, "Get the trash can."

Eagle slammed down a trash can upon the top of a hill. A very large hill. Largest hill in the city. In fact, the could see the entire town from up there. Down below was a road with no cars driving along side it. Perfect. Zeke lifted the top to reveal that the insides of the trashcan was possibly some of the most disgusting trash you could ever have sen in your life.

"Ah, Green Bean Friday! One of the worst lunch days of the week... Throw him in." Zeke said to Jim. Jim lifted up Melvin and slammed him into the trash can.

Melvin groaned to himself as Eagle slammed the top onto the trash can. Oh, great. Now he was filthy. The smell was extremely nauseating.. But he knew that wasn't the worse part of it all. He felt the entire trashcan tip over and fall to his side. This caused even more of the trash to get on him. Ew... it was all over his face... He didn't even know what half of this stuff was. He assumed vomit, but a lot of it was... brown.

"Alright, gang, on three!" Zeke said. Zeke, Eagle and Jim grabbed the trashcan and rolled it backwards.

"One... Two... Three!" Zeke, Jim and Eagle began to run forward as they pushed the trashcan. Quickly, they got over the hill and let gravity take over. Melvin yelled as he tumbled and turned inside the trashcan, all of the horrible filth being slammed into him.

"Hahaha! See next fall, loser!" Zeke yelled to Melvin, thinking he was being clever.

Zeke and Eagle laughed as Melvin rolled down the very large hill. Jim, however, noticed something down below... on the road. "Uh, guys?!"

Zeke and Eagle looked at Jim. He was looking off to the side, downwards. They looked to see where he was looking and gasped at what they saw. A very, very, large truck driving down the road at a very fast rate.

"A truck?!" Eagle said aloud.

Zeke looked down back at the trashcan that Melvin was in. It was still tumbling down... Right to where the Truck was going to be.

"Oh, shoot... MELVIN!" Zeke screamed in horror as he ran down the hill.

Melvin continued to scream, not knowing that the very end of this ride would be his doom, "I-Oof-Swear-Oof-Zeke! Oof-I will-Oof-Get-Oof-My-Oof-Vengeance!" Suddenly, Melvin's entire world went dark. He was unable to hear the sick crunch of the trashcan and it's contents inside.

Zeke, Jim, and Eagle stood still and watched in horror as the truck passed by, continuing to barrel down the road as if nothing had happened. The truck left behind a stain on the ground, of red, brown and many other unpleasant colors.

Zeke's breathing became heavy. He had just realized what he had done... He had just sent a child to his death. He never wanted to do such a thing. Heck, he never thought he could do such a thing. "We... We were never here!" Zeke fled in a panic, not knowing how to assess the situation. Jim and Eagle ran away as well, but they were clearly more expressive about what they had just witnessed...

E. Gadd slammed his fingers into the letters on his keyboard as he waited for Luigi and Tails to show up. They were taking a few seconds longer then he'd expected them to. However, they did indeed make it to his lab.

"Hey, E. Gadd..." Luigi said, in a tired tone, covered in mud from their encounter with a ghost.

The first thing the midget professor did was press a key on his computer and suddenly, a very large pipe flew out of the wall and blasted Luigi with a water blast. A very high pressure water blast.

Luigi screamed-or rather, gurgled-as he was sent flying to the wall. Tails, thankfully, didn't walk into the room quite yet, but he did see the water blast the plumber into the wall. When the water stopped, Luigi laid on the ground, soaked to the bone. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF MARIO'S METAL CAP WAS THAT FOR?!" Luigi screamed at the top of his lungs.

"You were covered in mud, Luigi. I couldn't have you walk around that dirty. You'd get the carpet mucky." Gadd replied, chuckling in his seat.

Luigi's eye twitched when he heard this explanation, "THANK YOU, VERY MUCH!"

"You're quite welcome, mah boi." Gadd replied, clearly not sensing the anger in Luigi's vocal cords.

Tails looked to the plumber before switching his eyesight to the midget scientist, "So, what did you want to see us for, E. Gadd?"

"Oh, right, I almost had forgot." E. Gadd replied. He pressed a bunch of keys on the computer and suddenly two small handhelds came from a compartment in the wall. They were both black and sleek to the touch. They both had a small D-pad and two buttons on he other side of it. Tails walked up to them and picked one up, studying it closely, "What is it?"

"It's my latest handheld communicator machine I've developed! And I've developed two of them so Luigi can use it too."

"Thank you, very much..." Luigi said in an unhappy tone, squeezing his soaking hat.

"No problem, Luigi," E. Gadd replied, still not hearing the tone of anger in his voice, "I call it... the Gable Gear!"

"Gabble Gear?" Tails repeated, still studying the machine.

"Yes, Gabble Gear. It's a Gear that you can gabble on. I was originally going to call it the Game Gabble, but that's just a silly name." E. Gadd explained with a chuckle in his voice.

Tails rolled his eyes at the professor. The little midget man was certainly an odd fellow. But Tails did think he was at least a nice person to be around. "Alright, so, this thing can let us talk to you from here?" Tails asked, making sure that he got all the details on it.

"Oh, ho, ho! Yes, but that's not all! It has a built in camera on the back as well!" E. Gadd explained. He pressed a button on the Gabble Gear and the screen suddenly had a picture of what was in front of the handheld.

"Whoa! This thing has a camera?" Tails said in amazement.

"Indeed! But that's not all! Thanks to alining Gadd Science, Incorporated with another company, I have been able to manufacture this thing to be able to receive Downloadable Content!" E. Gadd said aloud in a triumphant voice.

"This thing can have downloadable content too?" Tails said looking at the device.

"Yes! That way if I have any new sort of thingamajiggers to put into it, I can just send it to your system immediately!"

"Whoa... That's cool!" Tails replied.

Luigi walked up to the two nerds and asked the professor, "What company did you align GSI with?"

"Oh, some odd company by the name of Capcom. They say they're very good with this sort of stuff."

Luigi looked at the midget man and blinked a few times.

"Anyways, I've also been getting some weird ectoplasmic readings from inside the mansion!" said to the two.

"Really? From where exactly?" Tails asked the scientist.

E. Gadd looked at the boy, "Well, everywhere of course. But, I think that the best place to look would be..." E. Gadd pressed in a few buttons on his keyboard, and up on the computer screen came an inter map of the mansion. But for some reason, quite a few of he rooms were blanked out. After pressing a single last key, one of the rooms seemed to ping and became a bright green. "There!"

Tails looked at the map, "Alright... what is that?"

E. Gadd remained silent for a few seconds, as he placed his finger over his chin, "Hmmm..." Finally, he spoke, "I have no idea whatsoever."

Tails and Luigi fell to the ground in an anime-like fashion.

"If there's one thing I can say, it's definitely not a Gengous Garatious-the kind of ghost that I found attacking you."

"Well, then, what is it?" Luigi asked the scientist.

"I just told you I had no idea, didn't I? But, it definitely is the single place in the mansion where it seems that there is a large amount of ectoplasmic activity going on. I'd say that would be the best place to start." E. Gadd explained.

"Alright then. We'll be heading out." Tails said before running out of the room.

"Good luck, Tails! And remember! I'm with you, searching for Cosmosis in spirit! ... Mainly on the computer, but also in spirit!" E. Gadd yelled to the boy. He looked over to Luigi and said, "Well, I'll see you later." And with that, he looked at the screen and started to type up some more words on it.

Luigi sighed as he walked out of the room.

Waluigi sighed to himself. Great. Now he was trapped inside this mansion. This haunted mansion. He sneered at the ceiling at the mention of the word "haunted."

"Great. Just great." Waluigi said with sarcasm in his voice, "What is Waluigi going to do with a haunted mansion?" The Bridal Boutique owner looked around the room he was in. It seemed to be okay-well, for an old haunted mansion, anyways.

He walked over to the door on the other side of the very small room and twisted it's knob. He opened the door, glad to see it wasn't locked. He walked into the dark room, trying to see if he could find a light switch. Luckily for the plumber, he actually did. It was actually a really nice room. There were a few couches, a really nice white table, a very large tree over in the corner of the room-most likely for Christmas-a bookshelf, a cabinet, and what appeared to be a large broken picture frame as well. There was also a TV, but it seemed that it's screen was shattered.

"Who in their right mind would shatter a perfectly good TV?" Waluigi asked himself aloud. He looked over to the white table and found a remote control. Assuming it was for the TV, he aimed it at the broken piece of technology and pressed a it on, somehow turning it on, "Holy Chocolate cakes on awkward dates, Batman, it still works!"

Waluigi decided to sit down on the couch and put his feet up as he flipped through the channels. Oddly enough, almost all of the channels seemed to be on horror movies.

The plumber rolled his eyes, "Oh, great, nothing but horror movies. Just what I needed." Waluigi rolled his eyes. He continued to flip through the channels until he came across a movie, "Saw VII"

"Oh, hey, it's Saw seven. Isn't 8 in theaters right now?" Waluigi pondered to himself aloud.

As Waluigi continued to flip through the channels, out of the wall came a purple gas. How it came out of the wall was anyone's guess, though. However, it seemed to continue to come from the wall... and it grew. After about a few seconds, it seemed to envelop the whole room, which finally got Waluigi's attention after doing nothing but skip through channels for the past minute.

The plumber gagged as the gas was nauseating. It also seemed to lack oxygen. Waluigi jumped up room the couch and ran around he room,tripping over a few things in the process. Eventually, he saw a door in the corner of the room. He ran into the door, before getting the bright idea of actually opening the door before going into it. When he was safely inside the room, he was able to deduce that it was a bathroom.

"Thank Miyamoto!" Waluigi said aloud in his head. He ran to the toilet and fell to his knees. He lifted the toilet seat and lowered his head, vomiting inside the plumbable waste receptacle. While he vomited from the extremely nauseating gas, he learned a very important fact.

"Trying to catch your breath... *Vomits* And trying to throw up... *Pukes* At the same time... *Barfs* Is a very hard thing to do!" And with that, Waluigi continued to empty his stomach contents within the toilet.

Tails stood in the hall of the mansion, a door in front of him. E. Gadd led them to the place where the ectoplasmic activity was going on, and it just so happened to be in the very same hallway they were in before they went to E. Gadd. Tails gulped to himself, with Luigi chattering his teeth at the prospect of fighting another ghost.

Tails shakily lifted his hand and placed it on the knob. He tried to turn it, but it appeared to be locked.

"It's locked." Tails told the plumber.

"N-n-now what?" Luigi asked Tails, still shaking in his shoes. Suddenly, a very loud sound of lightning stuck. Luigi let out a yell as he jumped back in fear. He accidentally knocked over a small desk in the hallway.

"Owie!" Luigi exclaimed. Knocking over a desk seemed to hurt a tad bit. Tails looked down at the plumber but he also saw something... shiny. He bent down and picked up the shiny object to examine it.

"What's this?" Tails asked aloud. He brought up the object into the light and it's full appearance was relieved.

"It's a key." Luigi said aloud.

Tails stood back up and offered his hand to Luigi. He took it and Tails helped him up back on his feet.

"Thanks." Luigi said to him, somewhat scared about his surroundings still. Tails looked back to the door. He shakily lifted the key in his hands and placed it inside he keyhole. He turned it and it successfully unlocked the door.

Tails mouth curved into a half-smile. He lifted his shaky hand to the knob and turned it again, this time actually opening the door. He looked back to Luigi who was still shaking in his shoes.

"Heh, heh, don't worry, Luigi, I'm sure it's... not that.. bad..." Tails said to him, trying to make Luigi feel better. It wasn't working. Luigi just shivered in his spot.

The scared Kit slowly opened the door. He took a peek inside the room before actually walking in it. His eyes widened at the sight of the insides of the room. Not in fear, but in amazement. Inside of the room was what appeared to be a very large library. It had shelves upon shelves, filled with books upon books. Stairs were on the walls that led to a small balcony, right over what appeared to be a desk of sorts. The ceiling to the place seemed to be much taller then the hallway beforehand. It also appeared to be very well lit. Tails pushed the door open even further, which startled Luigi. The plumber closed his eyes in fear.

"Whoa... this place is huge!" Tails, said aloud, the word "huge" echoing throughout the library.

The plumber heard the echoing and he opened one eye. When he saw that the inside of the room, he opened the other one and waked inside along with Tails.

"Whoa, man..." Luigi exclaimed. The room seemed to be very large, but it wasn't impossible to be in the mansion. It just seemed to be a very large room. But it was certainly an odd room. An entire library room in a mansion? It was kinda odd. Tails looked around in amazement. He walked in between the shelves of books. This was certainly not something he had expected. There were so many different novels here. He tried to look at them, but he heard a faint humming.

"Hmm...ya, hm...muh. hmm..."

Tails eyes instantly shifted around. "What was that?" He whispered to himself. He looked behind himself and saw Luigi studying the bookshelf, humming a tune to himself. "Hmm... 23 Minutes in the Underwhere: By Bullet Bill Wiese." The plumber said, pulling out a book.

The kit rolled his eyes. Of course the tune was Luigi. He turned his head and looked around some more, eventually moving his gaze to the balcony above the small desk. It appeared to be a green head of hair, with two budding roses on it.

"Cosmo?!" Tails screamed aloud. He couldn't believe it. Well, actually, he could just barely believe it. Usually these sorts of things take much longer. Heck, look at all the times Bowser kidnaps Peach. hose adventures usually take several days if they're lucky. But the fox kit was joyous nonetheless. He ran over to the stairs leading up to the balcony and blasted up them like his fast, big brother, Sonic.

"Cosmo!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. When he got to the balcony, he noticed that no one was on the darn thing. He raised his non-existent eyebrow at this. That was odd. He just saw her a minute ago. Or at least something that looked like her. But nothing was there. Well, alright. That was kinda a lie. There were a few bookshelves and a small, round kiddie table with chairs placed around it. But there wasn't anything that looked like Cosmo.

"Cosmo?" Huh. That's weird. I could have sworn that I saw her up here..." Tails pondered aloud to himself. Luigi walked up the stairs as well, but he was reading a book as he placed each step of his.

"Hey, Cosmo, you okay?" Luigi asked, only hearing Tails scream about Cosmo.

"Luigi, she's not up here." Tails answered. Luigi lifted his blue orbs from his book and looked around the room to see Cosmo not there, "Well, that stinks."

"I know. Keep looking." Tails told the plumber. The fox continued to look around, as well as Luigi. The kitsune looked down one of the shelf made corridors filled with book. He took a few steps in there, in hops to find something.

Luigi however, walked a lot slower, his eyes now glued to the book in his hands. He was still fairly concerned about Cosmo, but he was also scarred out of his wits and needed a small break from the fear he's been feeling this entire night so far. He decided to pick up a book, read a bit and continue when he was calmed down, he'd look around some more. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw something. His eyes quickly gazed over to see what had caught the plumber's attention, only to see a floating book! Luigi screamed at the top of his lungs and he bolted in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, he forgot that he was on a balcony, so when he ran to a certain point gravity took over and he fell on the ground below.

"Ohh..." The plumber moaned in pain.

Tails looked over to where Luigi's scream came from and he saw the same floating book hat Luigi did. Tails jumped back, accidentally falling down the stairs in the process. When the kit reached the floor, he looked over to see Luigi, clutching his hurting head. He crawled on the floor over to the adult and he whimpered in fear.

"A-A-are you okay, L-L-Luigi?" Tails asked him.

Luigi scardly nodded to the fox until they heard a voice, "Hmph. Well, it appears that we've got ourselves a few phasmophobics here. How humorous." Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a ghost appeared in front of the two living beings. A child with neat hair, large glasses and a pocket protector attached to his neat, white shirt. They both screamed. While the ghost did not look threatening, it was still a ghost.

"Oh, calm yourselves, you nonsensical living beings. I'm not going to hurt you." The nerdy ghost said to them.

They became quiet when he told them this. The two of them stared at him for a good five seconds before Tails asked, "You're not?"

"Of course not. Why would I? You are nothing more then living beings that have found your way into my dwelling. I see no need to harm you." Explained the ghost.

Tails looked at him and Luigi whispered into his large fox ear, "Be careful, it may be a trap..."

"Oh, relax, over-all wearing person. I swear, sometimes I wonder why Zeke and those other fools were never afraid of me as a ghost." The ghost child said, placing his had upon his head.

Tails got up off of the ground and said in a curious tone, "Zeke?"

"W-W-Who is Zeke?" Luigi asked him.

The child lifted his hand off of his head, and replied, "Zeke was someone I knew in my original life-back before I was a ghost. He was a pompous, moronic child who thought himself better then me and took every minute of our time together to try and prove it to me, constantly wailing upon my feeble body, shoving me into my locker and other small containment units, calling me names and whatnot."

"So a Bully?" Tails replied.

"Yes, yes, a bully. I assume that the cause of the problem comes from the fact that his parents were divorced when he was a child and is merely seeking attention-perhaps attempting to prove himself a strong child. He most likely chose me as his victim because of a combination of my vastly superior intellect and my unnatural size." The ghost told them.

Tails lifted his finger to his chin. Something came into his mind. He knew no one would understand it, but he flt the need to say it anyways, "So... Zeke was your Hang Nail?"

The ghost child looked at him with a dumbfounded look, "No.. he was a living being, not a piece of torn cuticle."

"No, Hang Nail was an old bully of mine back on Westside Island. He eat me up a lot because I was a freak with two tails." Tails explained.

The ghost child looked at him with an interested look. The fox did indeed have two tails. "Huh. Well, I'm terribly sorry about that, Fox child. If I could help I would. Perhaps you could tell me where he lives and I could go and haunt him for a while? It didn't work on my bullies, but perhaps it could work on yours."

"N-nah, you don't have to. He d-died a few years ago." Tails explained, with a hint of fear in his voice. The thought of a ghost haunting someone just made him a tad bit jumpy.

"Oh, alright., Well, good for you. you weren't killed by your bullies, like me." The nerd ghost replied.

Tails and Luigi gasped. "You were killed by your bullies?!"

"Yes, but it was an accident. I forgave them of that single mess up. Besides, from then on I didn't have to deal with their constant bullying. So, in reality, they just did me a favor." The ghost explained, "Perhaps we should at least get names of one another?Mine is Melvin."

Tails gulped, "Right. M-my name's Miles. But my friends call me Tails. Chattering was the next sound to enter the fox's ears. He looked over to see Luigi chittering his teeth together in fear of Melvin. "And this is my friend L-L-Luigi."

"H-h-hello..." Luigi greeted the ghost.

Melvin looked upon the scared plumber and fox child. It was clearly obvious that they were scared of him. He decided to cut to the chase and ask them a question that would help end this somewhat awkward moment, "Right, well, is there any reason why you're here?"

Tails' eyes immediately widened as he just remembered about Cosmo, "Oh, that's right! We're looking for our friend Cosmo!"

"Ah, friend search. I see" Melvin said to them.

Tails nodded, "Yeah! She was kidnapped by some ghost or something that attacked us!"

"I see. Well, I haven't seen anyone come into my humble abode here. Terribly sorry." Melvin explained.

"Oh, okay then." Tails said, looking dejected, "Well, do you mind if we look around some more? I mean, I coulda swore that I saw her..."

"Take a look around. Just be careful. It took me a very long time to get this place perfect." Melvin told the fox before floating up the stairs.

"Thanks..." Tails said to the ghost. He looked toward Luigi, who still had a worried look on his face. He stood on his feet and offered his hand to Luigi, who took it and got up as well. They began to look around the library, whilst Melvin floated up high to the shelves in order to find a good book to read. He really did like reading, even after he died.

Luigi walked in between a large bookshelf and a wall, which also had a bunch of books on it. Luigi, however, saw something to the side that wasn't there earlier. A yellow doll. It was yellow and white, with red feet and white hands. And what appeared to be a red, glowing gemstone attached to an antennae which came from it's forehead. Luigi walked over to the doll, in hopes of seeing what the heck it was doing there. He picked up the doll and studied it closely. It looked kinda like Tails.

Luigi thought he should probably show it to him. Maybe he would know something about it. However, out of the corner of the plumber's eye, he spotted something. A book. Actually... five books. A green one, a blue one, a pink one, purple, red-all of them with the letter L on it. Luigi rested the doll down and he reached for the green book. He opened it up and saw that it was just what he had expected it was. It was a novelization of his adventures in the waffle kingdom! He completely forgot that it was a book series. Actually, he forgot who wrote it in the first place. He decided to grab the others as well and show them to Tails, maybe just take them back to Gadd's lab to show him too.

He reached his hands up high to get the books. He placed his hand on one of them and was just about to pull it down, until it seemed that something tipped over the bookshelf. The Mustachioed Wonder 's eyes widened when he saw the shelf fall over. But it was so close to another shelf that it hit it and caused that one to fall over too. It was almost as if the bookshelves were giant dominoes. Tails heard a very loud crash and he saw that the bookshelves were falling over... with him in between two of them. The kitsune panicked and jumped out from the tumbling bookshelves.

Melvin heard very loud sounds as well. When he looked down to see what was going on, his ghostly eyes widened, his white pupils enlarging to the point here his green eye-whites were no longer visible. "No! STOP!" He screamed in a panic. He floated down to them in order to try and stop them from falling, but unfortunately, he couldn't stop them from failing time. They had all fallen down to the ground, book scattered everywhere. His eyes twitched in disbelief. He looked over to where he deduced the first bookshelf fell and saw a green mustacheioed plumber standing there, with a book in his hand. He laughed nervously at the ghost, knowing that he was in trouble.

"My collection of books... it was so organized.. so neat... it took me months to finish..." Melvin said in disbelief, looking back down to the mess. Tails looked up to the nerd ghost. He wasn't quite sure how to asses the situation.

Quickly, the ghost turned to Luigi," You!"

Luigi jumped at the mention of his name, "Wah! M-me?"

"Yes, you! It took me months to finally organize all of those books! I couldn't find anything to occupy my time beforehand!" Melvin shouted in a very angry tone.

"Wah! I-I'm-a sorry!" Luigi shouted at him, in fear.

"You want to know who else was sorry?! Zeke! Zeke was sorry that he killed me! But guess what?! That doesn't help me out at all either!" Melvin's tone was rising. No longer was he calm, he was enraged, "Do you want to know the single good thing about what Zeke did to me?! I found out something! People can't hurt hosts... But ghosts can hurt people!" And with that, Melvin lifted his hands and suddenly, books started to float around him. Luigi's eyes widened. Tails looked on at the spectacle.

The nerd ghost pointed his finger to Luigi, who yelped at the sight. Suddenly, books started to fly at Luigi at breakneck pace. Since they were hard cover books and had a lot of pages they hurt, especially when you consider the speed they were being thrown at. and for every book that Melvin threw, two more floated up behind him. \Melvin laughed manically, "Hahaha! How does it feel to be the bullied one? Hmm? How does it feel?!"

Tails looked at the ghost pelt Luigi with the books. He had to help him. But how? It was at that point that Tails remembered the very thing on his back. The Poltergust 2001. Slowly, he lifted up the flashlight attachment and pointed it to Melvin. He pressed the button on it and the light flashed. But for some reason it didn't work. When Tails tried to suck him up, he couldn't suck the ghost up. This was actually quite odd. Tails thought tat perhaps he wasn't close enough.

The little fox child got to his feet and tried to take a few steps closer to the ghostly nerd enveloped in anger. The closer he got to him, the harder it as to do so. Books twirled around him like a tornado, an it just so happens that a few of them accidentally hit the fox. Which actually hurt quite a bit, but the little fox has had way worse. He remembered all of his earlier adventures with Sonic. He could handle a few books being smacked in his face.

When the fox child was close enough, he lifted his flashlight/vacuum hose at the psychotic acting nerd and pressed a single button. Quickly, a light flashed and it hit Melvin, causing a heart to pop up inside his body. 'Yes!' Tails thought to himself. He pressed the other button on the Poltergust, the one that activated the vacuum hose and began trying to suck up the ghost.

"Whoa! What?!" Melvin shouted. He dropped the books that were floating thanks to his strange, ghostly powers and began to try and get away from the suction. He looked down to see that it was Tails who was trying to suck him into the vacuum machine. "Tails! Wait! Stoooooooop!" Melvin screamed as he was sucked into the Poltergust, his scream ending once he was inside it. Tails sighed after he sucked up the ghost. He looked over to Luigi who was stumbling a it, but seemed alright enough.

"Are you okay, Luigi?" Tails asked him.

"I've been-a worse..." Luigi replied. Suddenly, a ringing noise filled the room.

"The Gabble Gear's ringing." Tails said as he pulled out the handheld device. He clicked a button on it and on the screen popped E. Gadd.

"Hello, you two. Good news, the paranormal activity has come to an almost complete standstill in your area."

"That's probably because I just sucked up a ghost, E. Gadd." Tails explained to him.

"It is? Oh, I mean, of course it is!" E. Gadd said, attempting to sound like the thought of them beating a ghost came into his head before Tails', "Right, well, anyways, I assume you've found Cosmo?"

Tails shook his head with a sad look on his face, "No, we haven't."

"Alright. Well, no need to put on that sad little mug! We'll find her before this night is over! I guarantee you that!" The midget professor told them, "But you've got to keep looking! There is some more paranormal activity going on upstairs. I'll send you a map to the room with the stairs. Good luck." And with that, E. Gadd hung up the machine. Tails looked at Luigi, who seemed a tad bit scared. The fox put his hand on his friend's shoulder, "Don't worry, Luigi. I'll be right by your side the whole time." Luigi looked down at the fox and smiled. The fox smiled right back. He took his hand off of the plumbers back and the two walked right out of the rom, closing the door behind them.

Silence followed the two leaving the room. Until the sound of footsteps in the room.

Coming down the stairs was a figure who's appearance was easier to see. It's eyes blood red and it's grin toothy and wide. It seemed that it's chest was red, but somewhat damp. It's head seemed to be green with The figure walked down the stairs and through the mess of the room, until it came to something. A doll. The same doll Luigi had picked up the toy and looked around some more until it found a book. The figure picked up the book and took a look at the cover. The figure walked back up the stairs and sat down at the table. It carefully set up the doll so that it was sitting on the figures lap. It rested back against the unknown beings chest as the figure opened the book and read aloud the first page.

"How to release the ghosts of the Underwhere..."

Aw, man this chapter was kinda rushed, so I'm sorry if it seems that way. But anyways, I'd like to assure the readers who review and ask me to complete this story that I will finish it. I myself am really liking how it's turning out, even with the couple of few mistakes here and there by myself, and I have every intention to finish it. Besides, if in the future I change my mind, I'll at least post an extra chapter telling the details about how it was going to end. But I have no plans to do that, so yays. Just remember, I take my time writing, so if there's no update, just assume I'm still writing.

For some reason I decided to refrence "Homeless Two Tail" By GreenRaccoon by mentioning Hang Nail. Don't know why, but I did.
