Night Horror

Chapter 5

After catching Tiara up, the girls were about to go to the fourth floor, Elvin had instructed them to go to the basement. The girls went into the lab, where Elvin was waiting.

He greeted, "Hello ladies. I have some extra items here for you, if you need them."

Violet grabbed a few golden bones and tossed one at Spettro. Spettro gobbled it up, wagging his tail happily.

Tiara cooed, "Aw..."

Peach giggled, "Seems like you've grown attached to Spettro."

Tiara agreed, "Yes, he's quite sweet."

Violet rubbed under his belly, making the Polterpup pant happily.

Elvin turned to her and asked, "You sure about keeping them around?"

Violet modestly answered, "Like I told Peach... and no offense Elvin but you can't protect her. She would be protecting you."

Elvin rubbed the back of his head. "Fair point..."

Violet giggled as she decided to take a small breather. She took off the Poltergest G-00 and closed her eyes for a bit.

...

"Vi...?"

Violet opened her eyes, hearing her boyfriend's voice. She turned and saw Luigi was there. He was wearing a green tuxedo, a black tie, no gloves, and dark green dress shoes. His hair was greased back a bit.

"Weegie!" She gushed, running over to her boyfriend. She gave him a tight hug, keeping him close. "You're safe!" She added. Luigi returned the hug, keeping her close. He said nothing to that as the two parted from their hug. "But why are you all dressed up?" She asked him.

That's when she heard soft music playing. She couldn't make out the lyrics but the tune was from a song she heard from when she was back home a long time ago. Luigi offered her his left hand.

He asked politely, "Would you dance with me?"

Violet was about to protest that she was dressed for the occasion. Luigi must have sensed this and pointed down at her body. She looked and paled for a brief second.

The dress she saw earlier...

How...?

Before Violet could ask, Luigi took her hand and started to twirl her around Peach's ballroom. It was like no one else was there, just the couple. It felt a bit odd to Violet. But the mood was perfect.

Too perfect.

She saw that Luigi stopped dancing with her a moment and gave her a purple rose. Violet took it as she smiled at it.

She breathed, "It's beautiful..."

"Just like you are, my dear..."

Violet, at that moment, froze. She looked over at 'Luigi', seeing that his teeth turned into Phantom Boo's. She screamed in horror, backing away from him.

She stammered, "Y - you aren't Luigi!"

"Oh come my dear... We were having so much fun..." He told her, sounding a bit disappointed.

Just as Violet was about to activate her Aurora Nine, the Thunderhand came out instead. Her ice powers had combined, oddly enough with Luigi's and it was enough to blast the imposter away.

...

Violet woke up with a start. She started to hyperventilate. Peach was there and she started to rub her back.

"Easy, take it easy Violet!" Peach begged.

It took a few moments but the princess was able to calm her down. Violet had balled herself up and told everyone of her nightmare.
