Chapter 6: Robber during the Party
This chapter might also be a bit short but please enjoy! My goal was to write at least 2000 words including the A/Ns every chapter, I apologize if it's too short but I'm a fast updater so it should be good ^^'.
Alpha: I'm going to spill the beans and tell you that I've already dropped 6 clues ^^'. On Daisy's part, I'll tell you that's a hidden SABOTAGE (OH MY GOD! SABOTAGE!) but she's in the auction group, which means that her job isn't collecting money, but she'll do a superb job if she's begging for money though.
Satellizer el Bridget: Like Alpha's note, Daisy is sabotaging secretly (I'm only going tell you guys sabotages once and it's this time, it's an obvious one anyway) and the ParaDixie group, *Burst into laughter*, you know why, they wasted time but still, they got 250 coins which isn't really bad, Rosalina's group was a bazaar, they only had 50 coins and they DID have lunch and I didn't wrote their performances down, Junior did the fire breathing thingy, Rosalina did star spins and Birdo shot some eggs. The auction group also wasted time but didn't have lunch and their items seemed pretty good.

The bag went pretty well, it came to 35 coins, but they still need 135 more. Paratroopa went on with the wine.
"Some rich wine from our beloved Princess Peach!" He announced.
Toadsworth (who happened to be in the audience) raised his hand, "40 coins." He decided, the other people stayed silent and he won the wine, leaving the team with a duty of 95 coins still to earn.
With only 2 items left, Rosalina announced the book but when she told them about the family spells in it, the audience became confused and it was only sold for 20 coins, Rosalina came down, frustrated.
"Are you sure it's from Merlon?" She asked, Daisy, who nodded and Rosalina sat down on a chair with another sigh.
"This isn't going so well." Dixie told Paratroopa, who nodded.
Dixie: You know, Rosalina seemed pretty hopeful on getting none of the audience to trust her and she seemed happy than unhappy. That's another sabotage of hers.
Daisy: The book is from Merlon, even if none of them believe it, I can still swear that it's from him with the Saraoral family name!
Paratroopa: I'm having doubts about this mission, first it's the mysterious book that no one opened from Daisy then its Rosalina's exaggerating, these two seemed very Mole-ish at the moment.
Rosalina: I know that no one really believed me but that's what I heard! Daisy could bought a crappy book from who-knows-where and lied that it's Merlon's! She is the most Mole-ish one on my list at the moment.
With only the tuxedo left and they need to make at least 75 coins with it, Dixie went on the stage, "This is a tux that everyone would like! Look at its gorgeous fabric! EVERYONE would like this!" She told them.
Boomerang sighed at the bottom, a toad saw him sighing and winked to him, "I'm using 50 coins for this!" He shouted, the crowd gasped at the bid price and Boomerang gave him a thumbs-up.
"60." Another toad rebutted.
"70." The same toad that started the item's large price gritted his teeth.
Everyone knew that if the other toad place another bid, they'll add 15000 coins into the pot, basically everyone was praying that he'll do another bid.
Boomerang: That kind toad had done all these stuff and placed all these money but to reach our goal, we'll have to be selfish and let him to pay for at least 10 more coins for this tux.
The other toad took a deep breath, the players held their breath as he said his sentence.

"It's yours." He told everyone, the players sighed. They had failed their challenge.
Birdo: I was disappointing that we failed but we donated heaps of money to the charity and this is what we call 'progress', that kind toad had already sacrificed 70 coins for this tux and I am very grateful, from the start of this mission I treated it as a chance of helping the others and this is what I'm talking about.
Monty took the box, "Unfortunately, you failed this and no 15000 coins for the pot but there are 495 coins for the charity!" He announced, the players clapped for their success out of the game.
Toadiko: This game is about winning the money for yourself but you'll have to help the others in the world, that's life.
"Tonight we'll board the plane to Bowser's Castle, 1 hour left to be exact, please go and get your bags and then when we arrive, we'll assign you to new rooms and there's a party to attend tomarrow. But before that would everyone take an envelope please. I have information of the next challenge in it and please hurry, we'll meet in the lobby." Monty walked back to his room.
They all grabbed one and went back to their rooms, looking in their envelopes in the progress.
Boo: Oh dear, I'm one of the 'detectives', one of the players will be helping me to investigate a case of stealing something from the gallery and the thief is one of the other players that's not a detective, if we found the one and only culprit, then 20000 coins will be added to the pot among with an exemption to each of us. If the case doesn't happen, no money but exemptions for us and if we got the incorrect person, They get an exemption and no money, be aware that all the players' envelopes' contents are different, it may tell them about the exemption, it may say 'bad luck, next time'. Hmm…
Junior: Looks like that I'm a detective and I'll try my hardest on my job, I hope the other one will not pull their weight and slow me down, sorry if it's offensive.
The players laughed at the airline: The Mole, their flight number was also hilarious: TM7446. The destination was Bowser's Castle and the time was Sometime. The players went speechless and they were encountered by a fully booked plane, they all decided to sit in the First Class and the plane took off.

The plane landed, the players headed toward their new rooms, here's the pairings:
Room 1: Rosalina & Birdo
Room 2: Boomerang & Paratroopa
Room 3: Junior & Boo
Room 4: Dixie, Toadiko and Daisy
Room 5: Monty
One of them are definitely not happy with the pairings but didn't really care, all of them went to their new rooms in the castle and waited for the party tomorrow.
Paratroopa: I do NOT want to be with Boomerang, out of everyone, I have to spent my time with (Cut scene of Boomerang twisting his head in Baggage Savers), curse these producers.
Room 1:
Rosalina and Birdo are getting along quite well, actually, a bit too well.
"So you wish to form a coalition?" Rosalina asked, Birdo nodded, "Perfect, you are VERY low on my list, so who do you suspect?" She asked, Birdo rolled her eyes, gathering all these information.
"I would say Daisy or Boomerang, these two are pretty friendly, Daisy was very suspicious during the last challenge and Boomerang was more kinder than the time when I talked to him in a baseball match, when I tried to talk to him he just folded his arms and tapped his foot then told me to go away." Birdo told the space princess.
"I see…" She wrote something down in her notebook.
Room 2:
"So you really hate me THAT much?" Boomerang asked, defeated.
"Yes, I do hate you." Paratroopa answered coldly, unlike his usual self.
Boomerang rolled his eyes, "Then maybe I'll make it up by showing you something." He smirked, Paratroopa wondered what it is and have a strange look when Boomerang took out 3 boomerangs from his gag, "Watch." He told the smaller koopa and started to juggle the boomerangs, Paratroopa started to clap after 3 minutes or so. Even though all this happened, they did not ask the other one for a coalition.
Room 3:
Boo had formed a small friendship with Junior, but no coalition, their night was pretty boring as Boo was reading a book and Junior was sleeping because people at his age needs sleep.
Room 4:
This room have 3 girls and two of them are cheer girls, Daisy and Dixie was dancing to the music on Toadiko's iPod while Toadiko was making some La Mole Tea and La Mole Coffee that happened to be in this room, she was observing the other two, this information will be going to Boo as imagined and she have no plans of backstabbing Boo… Yet...
"Toadiko would you like to join us?" Daisy asked while doing a cartwheel.
"No thank you, I'm making tea and coffee." She smiled and took off her earrings then went back to the drink making.
"Aww… It's really fun!" Dixie encouraged her, she shook her head.
"There's the sugar and milk that I need to find." Toadiko quickly found an excuse and went to the mini bar (the fridge).
The next day, everyone was doing something and all of them decided to wear something special for the party.
Boomerang wore a sparkly black bowtie on his neck, Paratroopa wore a light blue button shirt with a black tie over it. Rosalina was in her dress and her usual self, Birdo was wearing a golden necklace. Daisy was in her dress and her usual self, Toadiko wore her earrings and a formal pink long dress. Dixie wore a red bow on her hat, Boo wore a simple black hat and Junior was in a tux with his bib over it, finally Monty was also in a tux.
"Ready?" He asked, the players nodded and they headed off to the party hall, Junior and Boo got ready for the big investigation coming up.
The ones who know the target treasure and the detectives know that the treasure was a fire stone that grants people abilities of using fire if they use a special machine, the ones who knew the objective tried to act general and everyone went to the buffet at least once.
Dixie smiled at Paratroopa, who's on the opposite side of her. "You know, I wonder what this mission was all about." She laughed, "I think there's a mission but I don't know what IS the thing." She continued.
"Yeah, I guess." He replied and went to his food.
Dixie: I like Paratroopa, he's very nice but like as in a friend, not a boyfriend, I would really hate to see him to go but if he went, that's life, I trust him and I'm currently thinking of a coalition with him if we both have time.
Paratroopa: I do trust Dixie, I would love to form a coalition with her but there's no time for that lately. She said that she doesn't know the objective but she surely sounds like she do, I admit that I know the objective but I'm planning to give up on it.
With more and more conversations going on, someone secretly took the stone without anyone knowing, the alarm went off as they panicked and hid the stone somewhere, maybe on themselves, maybe on someone else or maybe even somewhere in the party hall, Monty took a deep breath as the detectives knew one thing, the stone have been stolen and their job has begun.
So here's the chapter! Until next time!
