Disclaimer. If anyone was wondering, I only responded to Toady because he's the one who writes the longer reviews. Long reviews are responded to in the story. Short one... not so much...And sorry for the long update. It took a LOT of motivation to get through the parts where they weren't in a challenge.

Princess Toady: You're welcome! And I have a feeling I know... the poll... ^.- As for the Tsu thing, thanks for the description! Originally, Shilo was going to be a Tsu but 1) that would have been boring to write about 2) writing about that would have ticked me off and 3) it probably would have ticked everyone off too! So I changed him ^.^ Ummm... I guess I'm done...

To Solve a Crime

Peach looked at Iggy, "Well, so do you really think that Bombette is the Mole?"

Iggy nodded, "Well it would make sense. She has those qualities that would let her hide things easily. The Mole would need that and I can't really think of anyone else that has them. So it's probably her. But if it isn't then I'm going for Kooper. He just doesn't strike me as out of place though. So if he is the Mole, he's really good at it."

Peach nodded and said, "Well... I don't know about your Kooper theory but I understand about Bombette. So I'm going to move her to second Mole. But at first, the most sneaky, devious, and cunning saboteur around..."

Iggy burst out laughing as she did a zest. She stated, "Drumroll please."

Iggy drummed on the seat and Peach finished, "IIIIISSSSS... TOADBERT!"

Iggy cheered loudly and everyone stared at them. DK muttered under his breath and Toadette looked back at Kooper and laughed.

Iggy and Peach looked around and collapsed in a fit of laughter.

Shilo got up and said to Axel, "I'll be right back."

He grabbed a plastic bag and headed to the bathroom. Axel sighed and thought.

Axel: Well, I don't know what everyone else is doing, but I know Shilo enough to know that he is just changing to human form. But if he is the Mole, the producers could put a camera in the bag he was carrying and he'd just come out as a human and we'd never know he had consulted with the producers. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid. Hmmm... I don't know.

Shilo had emerged from the bathroom as a human and had sat down next to Axel. He was about 5' and had short, light brown hair. His eyes were a shocking blue. He had on jeans and a red tee-shirt. He also had a deep blue hoodie in contrast with his eyes. He still had on the bandana and armbands though.

Shilo tilted his head, "What are you staring at me for...?"

Axel jumped and laughed, "Sorry! I was just thinking about the Mole..."

Shilo nodded, "Yeah... this is all so confusing... It makes me feel so... I don't really know, but... Yeah..."

Axel laughed. After this ride was done he might ask Shilo if he wanted to be in a coalition with him. They would be unstoppable.

Bombette glanced over at DK and mumbled, "How much longer..."

DK sighed, "About an hour to go!"

Bombette groaned.

Bombette: Ugh... I get so car sick... I'm leaving now... unless you want me to vomit all over the camera.

Toadbert silently made his was over to Toadette and said, "So how do you think you're doing at the Mole?"

Toadette looked over at him and then looked back at Kooper. He nodded and Toadbert frowned. Then Kooper smiled, "Well hello there Dr. Muffin! May I have a muffin so I can muffin muffin in my muffin?"

Toad nodded, "Well that's all fine and dandy Melon Man, but I need a watermelon so that I can go watermeloning with my watermelony watermelon!"

Kooper gave a thumbs up, "Understood! By the way have you seen The Fair Lady Of Tables? She owes my table a table so he can table the table of The Table Institute Of Tables!"

Toadette kept from giggling, "Well, last time I saw her, she was with the mayor's son. You know, the Phone Boy. He was playing with his phone of phones and phoned the phone of the phone of the mayor's dog's phone."

Kooper tried to continue but he just collapsed in a fit of laughter. Toadette giggled and then did the same. Toadbert's eye twitched and he walked away. Bombette smiled, "Look, there's the hotel..."

In the hotel, the players were sent to their rooms. They were identical to their old rooms, even down to their room number. Peach got out her nicest dress. She exited to the bathroom and Kooper looked into his bag. He pulled out a bandana with a fancy design which looked like a soft sunset. He took off his blue one and put the sunset one on. He reached into his bag and pulled out a matching pair of wristbands. Peach emerged in her flowing dress. It was long and pink but still ended at her feet. It had long ruffles down the sides and a beautiful floral design wreathing around it. Peach grabbed her purse and they both left for the lobby.

Down in the lobby DK, who was wearing a nice tux, was waiting with Toadette. She was wearing a shimmering dress that sparkled with every turn. She had matching ribbons in her hair and was twirling around laughing lightly. Bombette came out of the elevator with a small hat on. It was a light cream colour. It had a small floral design around the base. She walked over and Peach smiled, "I love your hat!"

Bombette smiled, "Thanks! I got it during me and Toadette's shopping spree during the second challenge!"

Peach laughed. Bombette just looked at her strangely. Peach walked away laughing as Shilo and Axel came down the steps. Shilo, still a human, was wearing slightly long dress pants and had a nice white dress shirt on. He was wearing a tie that was a light blue colour with darker blue swirls. Axel was dressed normally. Toadbert soon followed them and rushed over to the contestants. He was wearing the same tie, but instead of his normal vest he had a fancy, tux like vest. Starlow soon floated the stairs and Iggy soon followed. Iggy was wearing a fancy tux and was not happy about it. Starlow was wearing a cute blue bow that had swirls of aqua flowing through it. DK looked around, "So, anyone who is ready to go, the bus is waiting."

Bombette, Peach, and Starlow filed onto the bus. Toadbert followed them. Kooper went to the bus and waited for Toadette. She closely followed him and they got onto the bus. Iggy trudged onto the bus, loosened his collar and sighed. Shilo and Axel were finally on the bus and DK ended the line of people.

The bus was arriving at the restaurant and people were entering. The bus stopped and the doors opened. DK stepped out and everyone followed. The Governor spotted them immediately. He stepped out of the restaurant and greeted them, "Welcome! I do believe you are the contestants of The Mole?"

DK nodded at him and said, "Yes we are. I see that you have a very big celebration going on."

The Governor nodded, "Well, only the best on national TV!" He gave a grand laugh and smiled. He was a bright red Yoshi. "Well, let's get inside and get you all seated!"

The inside of the restaurant was decorated with beautiful paintings and such. It had a large banquet room, a lounge, a ballroom, and a museum like room. The players were directed into the lounge where the people were talking and socializing. Another red Yoshi, this time female, walked over and said, "Yoshio, who are these people?"

The Governor, whose name was Yoshio, looked at her and said, "These are the game show contestants I told you about."

She smiled, "Oh! Well hello! My name is Yuuka. I'm the Governor's wife, and the hostess of this party!"

Shilo had sat down in the lounge and looked around.

Shilo: Wow... This place is so beautiful! I feel so bad for Luigi. He would have loved this. It's too bad that one of us was going to miss this no matter what.

Starlow was looking around the museum and smiled. The place looked so lovely and clean. She saw some things that really caught her eye. A beautiful and ancient carved necklace. A large diamond. A rare coin from the Dark Age. She was amazed at the rarity of the items. If someone were to steal them, who know how much they could bring in. Suddenly she heard the dinner bell and she went to the banquet hall.

Axel finally arrived at the table. He had been about 5 minutes over the bell and everyone was already eating. He sighed and sat down. Shilo looked up and said, "You know you're free to go up and get some food."

Axel nodded and got up. Shilo got back to his food. All he had now was a large fruit salad and a glass of punch. Peach looked around and got up. She then hurried off. Kooper frowned and followed her. Iggy tilted his head and got back to his steak. Starlow continued eating her lobster and pretending nothing had happened. Toadbert and Toadette looked at each other and laughed. Bombette's eye twitched. DK mumbled under his breath. Axel got back and had a heaping plate of sausage and soft bread. He sat down and Peach came through the buffet and sat back down. Kooper sat down and said, "I couldn't find..."

He stopped when he saw Peach sitting next to him. She snickered. Axel came back and sat next to Peach. She looked at him and he laughed. Kooper shook his head and sighed. Finally he got up and went for more food. Peach giggled and continued eating. Toadbert blinked and got up. He looked around and walked over to the museum, and Toadette stopped eating. Axel looked around, but Toadbert wasn't back. Bombette had also disappeared. Shilo got up and left.

Peach: Uhnnn... Everyone is trying so hard to appear like the Mole! It's so frustrating! The only people that defiantly aren't the Mole are me and Luigi. *frowns* I feel like... I really don't know but I don't like it. But if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

Yoshio smiled and got up he left for the buffet and signaled for the head chef. He got up and followed Yoshio. Suddenly there was a small bell and the head chef spoke, "Today, we would like to celebrate the Sentinel of Yoshi's Island!"

There were light hearted claps and some cheers. Finally they died down enough to let the chef continue, "To celebrate, Mr. Governor would like to present this one of a kind collection, donated by the Royal Family of the Mushroom Kingdom!"

Suddenly there was a scream from the back room and Yuuka rushed in, sobbing, "It's gone! It's gone! I can't find it anywhere, it's..."

She collapsed in to Yoshio's arms and started sobbing. Suddenly Kooper shot up and said, "Oh! Oh, oh, oh! This is what it was talking about!"

Iggy suddenly gasped, "Oh I get it! This IS what they were talking about!"

Kooper and Iggy ran up to Yoshio and started explaining. Peach frowned and looked at DK who said in return, "All in good time. All in good time..."

He got up and walked up to the Governor and star talking as well. Axel looked at Shilo and they both shrugged. Toadette stared off into the distance and Bombette got up and got more food. Toadbert muttered, "How they just act like nothing I don't know... If they only knew some of the pieces in that collection..."

DK looked up from the group he was talking to and announced, "I am sorry to say that there has been a robbery. I require, by the Governor's request that everyone stay here until the police arrive. They have already bee phoned and cannot be here for another hour or so. Everyone must be submitted for questioning on the suspicion of robbery."

Well... Finally it's finished! It took forever and I kina ran out of motivation in the party scene. it kind of went fast if you didn't notice. Umm... The next chapter should come up faster because it's in a more exciting scene, so... Review, vote on the poll and... Yep! ~Shilo Burbans
