It was a chilling evening on October 23rd, a bit more than a week before the national holiday of Halloween. Mario and friends usually got together and hung out, or sometimes scare kids for candy (Wario's idea). But this time, they would do something different. The group had all been invited by Luigi to his mansion. A few hours into their stay, they decided to tell scary stories. However, only one story would be told.

"Do you guys know the legend of Koopson Vorhees?" Mario asked.

They all shook their heads.

"Is he even real?" Wario asked. "That name sounds fake to me."

"That's not the point," Mario sighed.

"So what is it?" Rosalina asked.

"Legend has it," Mario started. "that there were some kids years ago that went into his woods. They were looking to have a good time camping over the supposed myth. To this day, none of them have been found. The only evidence was a random, bloody machete near their campsite."

"That sounds creepy as hell," Daisy whimpered. "I wanna go back inside."

"You are pathetic in literally every way possible," Wario said right to her face. "Only a pussy believes that."

"It's not uncommon to be scared of scary stories," Daisy countered.

"Settle down," Mario rolled his eyes. "I was thinking that we should go out camping in the woods for Halloween. It would be a fun time."

In the end, they all agreed to go camping in the woods, laughing over the myth of the Slasher, as they called him. Mario invited Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Toad, Toadette, Birdo, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, and Goomba. Mario told them to meet at Mushroom Town Square on the day of the trip.

October 27th

The gang had all arrived at the Town Square at 5:00. This area included a large number of shops and places to eat. But most importantly, it contained . . . the bus stop.

"Well it's not all bad," said Rosalina, trying to stay positive.

"Are you kidding me?" Wario groaned. "We have to take the bus?"

"Shut up!" Mario fired back. "I'm not prepared to just waste money on gas."

As if on que, a bus drifted around the corner and screeched to a halt.

The doors sprung open and they were greeted by a drunk, wasted Toad.

"Are y'all here for me?" he slurred, one hand on the wheel, the other holding a beer.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Waluigi muttered and face-palmed himself.

"He's the cheapest offer I had," Mario defended himself. "You'd do the same."

"Yeah, okay," Birdo rolled her eyes.

All of them boarded the bus. However, the driver stopped one of the guests.
