Finally, I have time. I'm aiming for another chapter this week, so have hope.

Luigi and co. to Nintendo

----

The door shut behind our hero as he stepped in the dark, musty hallway. There were three doors on either side of the hallway, along with ghostly mice running about the floor. Luigi's flashlight clicked on so he could get a better view of the dank hall. Some things near the center of the place were shining from the flashlight's beam. It was the golden glow of coins and Luigi's greedy senses instinctively kicked in.

'Hehe, more cash for me!' He said has he followed and picked up the trail of coins.

The trail led right up to the front of a door. Assumption was on Luigi's mind that the room would be a treasure trove of goods. The thin brother gripped the handle and turned the knob. Though, the knob didn't turn at all and suddenly the door thrusted outwards at the plumber, taking him by surprise. Luigi was squashed between the wall and door and was as flat as a pancake in mere seconds. A small giggle let out from the mansion walls as the door slowly pulled back from whence it came. Luigi slid down from the wall and onto the ground and laid there for a bit before realizing what had just happened.

'Perhaps I shouldn't let money get to me,' Luigi thought as he recuperated from his hit with a possessed door.

The green man wandered back up to the door that led to the Foyer. He went for the door closest to him, which happened to be on his right.

-----

Luigi crept into the room and shut the door behind him. According to the Gameboy Horror, this was the Study. Then again it was pretty obvious, as the place was filled with books. Two bookcases with a fireplace in the center were in the back of the room, and a desk and chair were nearby on Luigi's right. A lone coat/hat rack was near Luigi's right with a top hat already on it. Some paintings decorated the walls, the most detailed one being of a dog. All that was left in the room was a rocking chair which was oddly rocking back and forth without any sort of force acting on it. Since the vacuum wielding plumber did not see much of interest towards the rocking chair (despite it was moving on its own), he made his way to the back where the desk was. As he was walking behind the chair he tripped and fell right on his face. Luigi quickly got up, thinking some evil ghost had played a trick on him, instead all the flashlight showed was a piece of cheese on the ground. Luigi stared at it puzzled, wondering why the heck a random piece of cheese was on the floor.

He had thought that not every mansion that was in perfect darkness had triangular pieces of cheddar lying about. So, he grabbed the hunk and brought it up to his face and looked at it for clues. He remembered what Gadd told him earlier,

"You can also examine things, like holes or paintings and the GBH will reveal any secrets about them!"

With the cheese in one hand and the GBH in the other, he inputted the correct button mashing to get the GBH to examine the object. The screen on the 'Horror showed the cheese and pixilated dot on it. A click of the "A" button on the device made a little sound and suddenly the cheese glowed furiously. A golden object then appeared with the dairy product on Luigi's hands, causing him to panic.

"YAAAAAH!!" Luigi yelped as he shook his arm violently to get the cheese and the new glowly object off of him.

This panic caused Luigi to drop the cheese on the desk chair, which then caused a blue ghost to pop out of it and scare Luigi out of his wits, which then made Luigi jump backwards onto the fireplace, which caused his bum to be set ablaze, which caused Luigi to lurched forward, which made him hit the rocking chair square on his forehead. That hit then made Luigi black out, and slump to the ground; the blue entity that escaped from the chair was panicking in its own way throughout the room. The rocking chair though, just kept rocking back and forth without a care that some thin Italian man had just collided with it.

-----

A moan escaped Luigi's lips as his eyes flickered open. He pushed himself up and rubbed his forehead where a small bump was protruding. He scanned his surroundings, seeing a blue ghost screaming and just hitting walls rapidly and a rocking chair going back and forth aimlessly. Luigi, still not realizing that rocking chairs do not just move on there own, and went forth to capture him a money ghost.

His white glove gripped the familiar flashlight and aimed the beam at the seemingly retarded blue glow. He stunned the poltergeist and sucked it right up in a flash with money spurting out of the Poltergust. After grabbing his prize, Luigi noticed the room was still dark even though no ghosts were about,

'What else did Gadd tell me? There's something I'm missing,' He thought to himself, 'Ah! Now I remember!' Luigi recapped the short conversation he had with the scientist earlier.

"Luigi! I'm picking up signals stronger than anything we've seen before! These must be my precious portrait ghosts up ahead. These ghosts are much different than those other ones you've come across. Making them show their heart will be a bit tricky. Try using the examine function on the GBH. It should help you."

'So I just have to look at this place through a screen and not my eyes,' Luigi brought the handheld to his face again.

Some button mashing later, the green hero got the GBH to examine mode. At this moment, Luigi was merely facing the door to the way out of the room. Seeing nothing in that region he turned around,

'Nothing on the desk, what else is in this room?' He thought in his turning.

The screen suddenly light up in a bright white as a ghostly figure appeared on it. Luigi was directly in front of the rocking chair at this point and the ghostly figure sat in the chair, just rocking back and forth reading a book. Luigi's eyes shot back and forth, from the pixels to the rocking chair, noticing the major differences between the two. The plumber then noticed in the mist of white and blue pixels a beating pink heart. Thinking of Gadd, he mashed the examine button on the pink stuff,

"Haha, you're going to need some more tricks then you think to take me back. By the way, you should read books. They'll keep your eyes alive longer than video games can!" The entity said through the 'Horror's speaker.

At that moment as well, the bookcase in the back of the room shook frantically as books shot out of it like bullets,

"READ!!" The ghost yelled and became visible to Luigi without the aid of technology.

The poltergeist was a man, with a mustache and robe to boot. He had a love of reading books before he died and became a painting. The ghost never got to finish his collection of text and was in the process of reading them all; that was until Luigi burst into the room. The ghost was a tad annoyed of Luigi's presence, but it was until the guy stared at him he became irritated. Thus, he launched an attack of previously read books (as there are still some in the bookcase he hadn't finished yet) onto the defenseless plumber.

Though, the ghost was wrong on the defenseless part. Seeing things flying in a room sparked Luigi's reflexes, he turned on the Poltergust 3000, sucking up all the paper and glue. The ghost though, was no longer paying much attention after the book assault was launched and had resumed his reading. As Luigi finished up his own "reading," he turned to the mustached man-ghost-thing that tried to annihilate him. The poltergeist had disappeared from normal sight and the rocking chair just rocked back and forth like it had before. Luigi was not giving up that easily,

'Alright, I'll need more tricks, eh?' Luigi turned his back on the ghost.

'What the heck is this idiot doing in my room still? I must have peace to read my books! This is just going to get me tired,' The glowing entity thought to himself, 'I mean he just barges into my Study, thinking he's Mr. Big Shot finding Luggs' leftover cheese. O, I'm getting tired from thinking—' The ghost yawned.

Little to the ghost's knowledge, yawning was his power source. Thus he needed to become visible to recapture power from the air. Luigi moved his head to see a small ghostly tail on the ground. The vacuum wielding plumber jumped around and stunned the beast.

'What the?—' was all the ghost could think before a noise familiar to him came to his ears; the Poltergust 3000.

"HAHA! YOU'RE MINE NOW!" Luigi yelled manically as he started draining the ghost of his energy.

As the prey flailed about, Luigi looked down at the LCD screen which showed "100" and was quickly dropping. Also pearls of different sizes were popping out of the Poltergust as the ghost was nearing its forever storage in a vacuum. The odds were on Luigi's side as the ghost's energy dipped below "10." A few seconds later, the man was inside of the vacuum cleaner,

"Whew! That was annoying," Luigi said aloud.

The lights clicked on and a blue chest appeared in front of the fire place. Luigi stumbled over to the trunk and opened it with a tap. A golden key burst out of it and landed in the plumber's hands. He put it in his back pocket with the others and took out the Gameboy Horror. The map of the mansion lit the screen and pinpointed a door just down the hall that was meant to be opened with the new key. With that, Luigi headed towards the door.

Before making his way out he saw one of the books that tried to smash his skull at the front of the door. He picked up and saw it was a diary from the cover. He opened the book and flipped through eroding the pages. He did not find much of interest.

"There really isn't too much in here other than how some baby acts as an adult and two twins are annoying," Luigi said to himself while looking at the handwriting, "Well, I doubt I'll ever come by a baby here, or even twins. Ghost kids don't exist, do they?" Luigi continued his way to the door while muttering some other things of how to keep cool.

Luigi dropped the diary and put right hand on the door knob, turned it, and opened the door,

"One down, God knows how many more left to go."
