Daisy quickly opened the book in panic.
"Okay, where the hell do I have to look now to reverse this curse or something?" Daisy asked. She skimmed through the table of contents and found something that might do the trick.
How to reverse a spell, p. 83.
"Fine, it will do!" Daisy flipped through the pages as fast as she could.
Suddenly, all the doors leading outside the room slammed open and in came walking the monsters. Their hands were raised like a typical zombie towards Daisy and they were all heading for her.
"OH SHIT!" She screamed. She flipped through the pages even faster, and finally got to it. She read the following:
In order to reverse a spell, and this includes curses, you must do each of these steps:
1. Drink the blood of the dead. It doesn't have to be real blood, it can be symbolic.
"WHAT? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? THERE'S NO FUCKING BLOOD IN HERE!" Daisy screamed, getting extremely frustrated and scared. The monsters were all crowding in on her.
Then, Daisy noticed something that gave her some relief.
"OH! THE FRUIT PUNCH! THAT CAN BE THE BLOOD!" She quickly went to the punch bowl and started gulping it down. But she was also dropping a ton of punch on her costume, making her body immediately cold.
"WHAT'S NEXT, WHAT'S NEXT?" Daisy read the page.
2. You must now perform the dance of the dead. Spin around in a circle while hopping on one foot.
Daisy did just that and struggled having to keep her balance. The monsters stopped closing in on her as they seemed confused as to what she was doing.
"Next next next!" Daisy yelled while still hopping on her left foot.
3. You must now caw like a crow while doing the dance.
"CAW CAW CAW! FREAKING CAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!" Daisy yelled out, trying not to fall over. She didn't even notice the fact that the monsters stopped coming to her.
She then read the next step, still keeping balance on her left foot.
4. Now pat your tummy and smack your booty.
"THAT'S SO WEIRD!" Daisy said, but she did what the book says anyway. She patted her tummy and slapped her butt as hard as she could.
She read the next step, which was the last step.
5. Now say, "I'm sorry Rosalina!"
"I'M SORRY ROSALINA!" Daisy screamed out.
Suddenly, Daisy stopped moving and put her right foot down. She raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Wait a second, why is Rosalina's name in here? What kind of book is this?" Daisy asked.
She looked up and noticed that the monsters were just standing there, watching her.
"...And why aren't you guys attacking me?" She asked, immediately knowing that it probably would've been stupid to ask monsters a question.
The lights turned back on.
"Ah! Who's doing that?" Daisy shrieked.
No response. The monsters were still just staring at her.
"Are you guys just gonna stand there and look like a bunch of morons or are you gonna attack me and rip me to shreds?" Daisy asked, putting her hands to her sides.
The monsters all smiled.
"GOTCHA!" They all yelled.
Daisy jumped in shock.
"Wait...WHAT? What the hell?" Daisy was beyond confused at this point.
"Daisy. It's us. We're not demons or monsters or anything like that. We're just in professional make up and costumes." Peach laughed and so did everyone else.
"Wait a second...so...HUH? I don't understand what's going on here!" Daisy helplessly said.
"Nobody is dead, Daisy. This was all just a prank to scare you." Rosalina said, coming out from the crowd. "I got tired of you treating me like crap so I had our friends and all the guests here, participate in a little prank I wanted to pull off. They all agreed and we set up a plan. Aren't I such a genius?" She laughed.
"Are you serious right now? So all of you knew about this? Even Waluigi, Birdo, Toad, Toadette, Diddy and Dixie?" Daisy asked.
"Yup. Even us. Had to pull off some good acting though." Diddy said with a smile.
"Me and Toadette actually began to get so scared too, that we even forgot that what was happening was fake!" Dixie laughed.
"I actually forgot that the plan was going on for a while too. I remember asking Dixie why people seem to have disappeared." Diddy also laughed.
"Oh gosh, I totally played along with that one. Then I told you about the plan after we all saw the 'puppet people' leave the gym."
"But I don't understand! The way you guys died...it looked so real!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Oh please! I was just pulled into a crowd of 'monsters'. That was my 'death' right there." Birdo laughed.
"While you guys were running away from the axe man, he and a few others coated me up in fake blood real quickly along with a fake slash mark so it would make it look like I was actually killed with an axe!" Toadette explained.
"That's basically the same thing for my death too." Diddy said.
"For mine, I just had Miss Lola here, put fake blood all over my face. I actually didn't know you were gonna be in that hallway, but once I heard you come in, I was pretty lucky." Toad said.
"Holla!" Lola called out from in the crowd. She was an aqua-shelled Noki.
"For me, Waluigi actually had a styrofoam plank, but it looked real enough to be a wooden plank so we used it for my death and I just made it look like he hit me real hard." Dixie said.
"But...what about the black eyes you guys have on? How does that work?" Daisy asked.
"Oh crap, I forgot these were on!" DK said, taking them as did everyone else. "They're kind of like black-colored contacts that make your entire eyes black."
"So, everything was fake then. This was all just a prank to get back at me for being a bitch." Daisy frustratingly sighed.
"Well yeah. I was against it at first, but I really wanted to see how this would work out. Know that this was never intended to cause you any harm, Daisy." Luigi said.
"In all honesty Daisy, I do feel kind of bad. But I got fed up with your constant attitude with me that I wanted to take revenge." Rosalina explained.
"I see. So who are those guys in the costumes that look exactly like those dolls you brought?" Daisy asked.
"Oh, them? One of them is Lemmy and Larry in one costume, and the other is Roy and Iggy." Rosalina answered.
"What up?" Iggy called out.
"I'm surprised neither of us have fallen over yet! How supah dupah cool is that?" Lemmy crazily said. Everyone else laughed.
"Can we take this costume off now? It's starting to smell in here, and I'm pretty sure it ain't me!" Larry said.
"You do realize I am EXTREMELY pissed off at you guys right now and I'm currently thinking about running you all over with my yellow-colored Mecredes-Benz, right?" Daisy asked.
"It's understandable. I wasn't exactly sure of this plan either..." Mario said.
"But...looking back on it...it was actually kind of fun." Daisy smiled.
Everyone smiled and some clapped.
"Really? You thought all that was...FUN?" Waluigi asked.
"Yeah, I would've been screaming at everyone and threatening to destroy the world now if I were you!" Wario said.
"Yes. I'm angry. Yes. I was deathly scared. But you know what? I have never been so scared in my entire life...and that's exactly what I wanted to experience at some point in my life. You may call that sick or disturbing, but...it's just how I feel." Daisy continued to smile.
"Well as long as you don't threaten to kill us, then YAY!" Toad cheered.
"So, what should we do now? Go home?" Dixie asked.
"Hell no! It's only a half hour to midnight! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED Y'ALL!" Wario yelled and threw up the peace sign. Everyone gave him a weird look.
"...What?"
They all laughed and the DJ put on Spice Up Your Life by The Spice Girls. Everyone, even Daisy, was getting back into the groove immediately.
EOC.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the twist. Next chapter will be the last chapter and I'm gonna tell you now, something 'interesting' will happen in it. Heh heh heh...
