Hey Slayer. Who do you main in Smash?

-flashbacks-

Umm... Heavy characters... Definitely.

Okay then... By the way. I'm not doing the thing... I'm sick of the Dragon Ball Z references. Get something original.

This time on Slayer Network.

Oh goddammit.

Your POV

Bowsette came over to me as I laid flat on my back still sitting on the ground. She stood on my side as she looked down at me with her hands on her hips.

Bowsette: So how's the inside of a skeleton?

Me: Terrible don't try it.

Bowsette: I'll take your word for it.

The bones started to float again as Grand rebuilt himself.

Me: If I go back to a prison of bones. You're going to need to find a new housekeeper.

Bowsette: The joke wasn't funny the first time you know...

Me: For someone it was...

I sat up as I stood on my feet as Grand Bones finished putting himself back together. He sighed and groaned before he stretched.

G.B.:I never fought like that in my many decades and defeated as easily. As expected from the Princess of the Koopa Kingdom.

Bowsette: Thank you, Grand. I'm glad you're back to normal.

G.B.: And who is the boy? He doesn't look familiar.

Me: Oh hi I'm (Y/N). I'm a housekeeper.

Bowsette: I will hurt you.

G.B.: Thanks to you both I was able not just to be free of Plum's control but stay stable under the Blood Moon. Although I fear the worst for our dear Princess.

Me: Can you show us the way?

Bowsette: You're the only one who knows how to reach her mansion.

Grand Bones: Of course. I'll take you there myself. It's the least I can do. Afterward, I'll be gathering any of those who are still out of their right minds.

Me: Sounds like a plan... You're not putting me in your ribs again, right?

Bowsette slapped the back of my head as I rubbed it. Grand laughed as he put us on the top of his head. He then began to walk deeper into the forest.

G.B.: It's been a while since you visited Princess. I'm sure your highness will be glad to see you.

Bowsette: I just hope she's okay. Who knows what Plum has done to her.

G.B.: I once again say I fear the worst. But I hope for the best. But it seems the young lad with you knows what he's doing.

Me: Of course I do... Wait I do?

Bowsette: Somewhat I guess.

G.B.: Be careful when you enter. Things can change around here a lot in two weeks.

He said as we cleared the trees as he set us down outside the mansion. My jaw nearly dropped as I looked at the size of it. Three stories high and who knows how wide.

G.B: I wish you both the best of luck.

Bowsette: Thank you, Grand.

He nodded as he stepped back into the forest as we pushed through the gates.

Me: So your friend. What's her name? You never told me.

Bowsette: Her name is Boosette... But I call her Cecilia... She's my best friend. From the very beginning.

Me: Well let's go get her then.

I say as I closed the gates behind us. Bowsette was already walking ahead as we went up the front steps. She then gasped and then started running.

Bowsette: Cecilia I'm here! I hear you!

Me: Bowsette wait!

I started to run as well but I didn't hear anything. I couldn't stop her thinking this is probably a trap. I started to pant as I ran up the steps.

Me: Can I seriously not catch up to a woman in heels!?

I say as I continued going up. I see her opening the door as it barely closed behind her. Once I hit the top I opened it as I stepped in.

Me: Bowsette? Bowsette! Where are you!?

The door closed behind as the doorknob locked and was suddenly boarded up. I sighed as I looked forward.

Me: No turning back now.

I grabbed my flashlight as it shined forward. I then looked up seeing a painting. A girl in all white and red hair. I guess that's Boosette. Seems nice. She and Bowsette almost look like sisters. I wandered a bit as I opened a door that went into multiple hallways. I decided this was the time to use the coin.

Me: Okay coin. Can you tell me where Bowsette is?

"Missing"

Me: Oh really? Couldn't tell...

"Gone"

Me: Gone!? What do you mean gone? Is she okay?

"Yes"

Me: Well how do I find her?

"Boosette"

Me: Okay. I find Boosette. I find both of them. In a very most likely haunted mansion with billions of ghosts who want to punch my lights out... Great.

"Map"

Me: A map? Maybe there's some sort of library around here. I guess that makes the most sense. I find a map you can show me where to go?

"Yes"

Me: Why didn't you just start with that?

"😑"

You can make faces of course you can make faces.

"🖕"

The symbol made then faded as I stood astounded. Did I just get flipped off by a coin? What the freak is my life?

Going through the last chapters...
