So… I guess I'm doing this?

Let me just say, I absolutely adore Luigi's Mansion 3, and I absolutely adore the boss ghosts! And since not many people are making fanfics about these lovable characters, it looks like it's up to me to save the day!

I would like to thank both BurningFox6 on Fanfiction and evils-corner on Tumblr for providing some of the headcanons I will be using in this story. Go check out the story Boo-ographies by BurningFox6, along with evils-corner tumblr to see the headcanons I'm using.

Anyway, buckle up and enjoy the show folks!

Also, I don't own the Luigi's Mansion series. That's Nintendo's property.

Also, spoilers for Luigi's Mansion 3, obviously.

It had been a full month since the night Hellen and King Boo had staged their plot to kidnap Luigi. The hotel had been rebuilt; the staff released, and the building reopened, ready to welcome new guests to the new and improved building!

That would have been the case if word hadn't gotten out about what had happened.

Turns out, being complicit in the kidnapping of an authority figure and two beloved members of the community ended up resulting in the reputation of the hotel taking a nasty dive downwards. Princess Peach did her best to help mitigate the negative press by giving their side of the story and even giving the hotel a glowing five star review! But it wasn't enough. Now the profit margins were in the red, and E. Gadd was considering closing the place down for good. This fact weighed heavily on Steward's mind as he sat at the reception desk, hoping desperately for someone to call and make a reservation.

"Hey, Stewy!" Kruller shouted as he floated over to the bellhop, a box of donuts in hand. "Soulfflé made donuts today. I got you your favorite, chocolate with sprinkles." He waved said donut in front of Stewards face, to absolutely no reaction. Kruller, taking note of his boyfriend's depression, sat next to him. "You sad because we have no visitors?"

"You have no idea." He complained, snuggling closer to Kruller. "We haven't had any new visitors in weeks ever since Dr Potter's plants ate that Toad!"

"And that is what you get when you litter in my greenhouse!" Dr. Potter yelled at a purple Toad who was currently being chewed up by one of Potter's many carnivorous plants. The Toad could only scream in terror, regretting failing to throw that chip bag into the trash can like a cool guy.

"This is all Hellen's fault!" Steward suddenly shouted, startling Kruller. "She just had to go through with another one of her crazy plans and she had to drag us into it! And now we're all gonna lose our jobs and we're gonna lose our home and there's nothing we can do about it!" Steward started to cry into Kruller's shoulder, the security guard comforting the bellhop as he bawled his eyes out.

"There, there, Stewy. Don't give up hope. We could get lucky and have, like, some super famous guy call right now and ask for the penthouse suite!" Kruller tried to cheer him up. It seemed to work, as Steward got up and wiped away some snot with the sleeve of his shirt.

"Snf... That only works in movies, Kruller. But thanks."

"Hey, as long as we all stick together, we'll be alright. Our luck is bound to change at some point."

As if some kind of cosmic entity had heard Kruller, the reception phone started to ring. Steward composed himself, preparing to take the phone call. He took a quick look at Kruller to see him give two thumbs up of encouragement. He picked up the receiver, took a deep breath and greeted the caller. "Hello! This is the Last Resort! You'll enjoy your stay so much you'll wish you could die here! How can I help you today?" Steward nodded along to the caller's mumbling, his face going from 'customer service smile' to genuine happiness. "Why yes, we do have a penthouse suite." More mumbling. "Next week? Absolutely sir!" Even more mumbling. "Yes sir! We will have everything ready for you then. Have a good day." The caller hung up and Steward set the phone down, a neutral expression on his face.

…

"EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!" He squealed in excitement, startling poor Kruller again as he hugged him in excitement. "Oh my goodness, you were right Krulls! You were so, so right!"

"I was? That's new. Who's the guest?"

Steward started chuckling. "Oh ho ho, that is the part you are going to love, Krulls." He whispered the name into Kruller's ear, and his face morphed from a face of curiosity to pure excitement.

They had a chance now. A chance to save the Last Resort.
