Here we are again... D: *sigh* Well, I had a lot of fun typing this chapter... And I am also thinking about typing a Clone Wars fanfiction with Rex and an OC padawan... She's very strange, I do say.

Well, anyway, here is the second chapter! Oh, and an awesome, lovable character is going to join Rhapsody on her quest.. like.. thingy-ma-bobber. NOOOOO IT'S THE CLAIRVOYANT AHHHHHHHH

-----------------------------------

Rhapsody stared, bewildered, at the screen.

Normally, anyone would have bolted out of the room, getting the strange, eerie feeling that resonated out of the Wii

It hummed pleasantly, as if it knew that something was going on, but didn't care.

Surprisingly, Rhapsody reached over and began to turn it off, but as her finger neared the power button, she stopped. What was she doing?

Rhapsody hesitated, then driven by an invisible force, reached down.

She pressed the Reset Button.

---------------------------------

Rhapsody sat up and blinked. She looked around, puzzled at the dark room. Dark as in a dark, stormy night, dark.

It thundered.

"Cool," Rhapsody chuckled, getting to her feet. She walked forward blindly, feeling for the wall, and rammed into something hard and wooden.

Rhapsody yelped and steppe back, rubbing her nose. She kept her right hand on her nose, but felt around and felt something cold. She recognized it as the light switch.

Her hand instantly moved to flick it on, but when her finger forced it up, no light turned on.

Frowning, Rhapsody rubbed her eyes and tried to get them to adjust to the darkness.

Glancing around again, she realized a few things she hadn't noticed before.

"A toilet?!?" she groaned in frustration. "Where am I, a bathroom?

"Right you are, Commander," she began talking to herself like she always did whenever she was confused.

"Any reason why it's a bathroom, Captain?

"No, Commander. No idea, sir.

"Well then, we should probably leave."

"Slight problem, though."

Rhapsody trailed off. "Why does this place seem so familiar?" she asked herself in her normal voice.

The thunder sounded again, and Rhapsody, in the dim light, noticed a shower. She pulled back the flowery curtain and the shower head was spewing out water at a steady rate.

She let go of the curtains, and they reverted to their original position.

Rhapsody backed away, noticing a window higher up in the room. Stepping of the closed lid of the toilet, she peered out and frowned.

It's full of dead trees, she thought, disbelievingly. She stepped down and leaned against the wall.

It was quiet, if only for the shower head and the running shower water. No pitter-patter of rain at all.

Rhapsody stared at the flower curtain, not sure what to make of the clues she had just discovered. Like a mystery, she told herself. Exactly like a mystery.

The lightning outside flashed, illuminating the bathroom through the window for a split second.

In that one moment, Rhapsody saw a shadow appear behind the curtain, the dissipate as soon as the lightning died down.

Suddenly, it dawned on her.

Rhapsody freaked inside her head. She frantically located the doorknob, yanked the door open as far as it could go, then bolted out of the room.

She turned two corners before tripping over her own untied shoelace, and toppled to the ground.

A glowing yellow mouse skittered past her face. It stopped, stared at her with blank, shimmering purple eyes, then scampered away.

Rhapsody got to her feet calmly, brushing off her pants. She shook her head, then stared down the dark hallway.

A beam of light shot out from the perpendicular hallway on the other side. The beam slowly receded, and Rhapsody realized there was someone holding the flashlight.

That person was awfully familiar.

"PIT!" Rhapsody squeaked, a tad too abruptly. Her hands instinctively shot up to her mouth, but she was too late to stop herself.

Pit cried out in horror, and jumped, the flashlight soaring out of his hands and crashing to the floor. The batteries flew out in all directions, scattering onto the rug.

Rhapsody raced over to pick up the scattered batteries and flashlight. She swiftly inserted the batteries then handed the now-working flashlight to Pit.

He took it shakily, nodding his thanks. He flicked it back on, and aimed it carefully so that they could see each others faces. "Do I... know you from somewhere?" he asked.

"Probably not," Rhapsody answered. She introduced herself, and bowed graciously. Pit grinned and laughed.

"Pit," she grabbed his attention. "Where is everyone else?"

Pit frowned. "I... really have no idea." He scratched his head nervously. "I don't really remember what happened, but I kinda blinked and found myself here... In the boiler room."

Rhapsody stifled a laugh.

She was glared at. "It isn't that funny."

"I'm sorry," she told him, wiping her eyes. "It's just that I had so much trouble finding out what to do in the boiler room."

Pit stared at her, utterly confused. "What?"

Rhapsody waved her hand, dismissing the subject. "I'll tell you later. Right now, we've got to find out what's going on." She took off down the hall. "And I have a pretty good idea of where to find out."

"Luigi's MANSION?" Pit exclaimed?

"Shh!" Rhapsody hissed. "Pipe down! The ceiling ghosts might hear you and cover us with a flurry of bombs." She trotted down the hall and stopped at the door. "Yes, Luigi's Mansion."

"But it looks so different..."

"This is the actual game version," she explained. "The one you guys fight... er, fought on, was just a simplified version."

"I still don't get the game thing," Pit pouted. "But that's not important," he added. "And how is this ghost going to help us? I thought you said Luigi got rid of all the ghosts."

"He did," Rhapsody replied. "In my game. This place must have taken us to the beginning of the game, instead of where I'm at."

"And how do you know this..?"

"Well, for one, the lights are off. And secondly," she tried turning the door's knob, grunting. "the other ghosts... are still.... there...!" She twisted it again, trying to get it open. "Aw, nutbunnies," she huffed. "The door's locked. We'll need the key."

"The other ghosts are still there...?" Pit frowned at the knob, as if that would make it unlock.

"Yeah. I was in the downstairs bathroom, and there's a ghost there; in the shower. It stays there until you can get it out. And that's very later in the game." Rhapsody looked around with curiosity, looking for something. "Hold on... where's the key..? I don't remember where you got it..." She thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers. "I got it!" she exclaimed.

Pit stared after her as she took off running, then sighed and followed after.

Rhapsody slid on the carpet (which wasn't hard to do, surprisingly), and started forward. She lunged forward, grabbed the knob of the door right in front of her, and twisted it hurriedly. It was also locked. "What the..?" She tried it again and again, but it didn't budge.

"G-go away!" a voice chattered form inside the room. "There's no one here!"

Rhapsody hit her head on the wall. She forgot about the kriffing Toad...

-------------------

Hehe. I hated that Toad. it was all "THERE's NO ONE HERE GEET AWAY FROM MEE BEFORE I FLSUH KEYS DOWN TOILEET YES?" He was annoying. And apparently, Rhapsody shares my hate for that toad as well.

Now, I've gotten a question from my friend... "WHAT'S RHAPSODY'S REAL NAME?" And I won't answer that. Because I seriously don't know.

....okay, maybe I do. But I MIGHT put it in.... Hm.... So get ready for chapter three. It's coming REEEEEAL soon.

And once again, NOOOO IT'S THE CLAIRVOYANT AHHHHHHHH
