(Okay so my parents bought these really thin white sheets for each me and my two older brothers to sleep with instead of our quilts, since it's getting hot, and so that's how I got inspiration for this little story...)

"Roy, stop it," Marth ordered, watching the red-head pulling a white blanket over himself, which covered his whole body.

"What? You scared?" Roy taunted, once the blanket was covering him. Marth sighed, watching Roy wave his arms around the air and acting like a ghost.

"Oooohhhh... I shall haauunt yooouuu!" He teased, laughing at his own joke and trying to walk around without bumping into anything. Marth rolled his eyes before continuing to watch Roy, wondering how such a fool was ever invited to the Smash Mansion.

"Roy! Seriously, stop it before you hurt someone," Marth warned, hoping that he would understand the consequences.
"Aww! You're looking out for me, aren't you?" Roy joked.
"Well, I was more concerned about the others... but you know what- sure! If that will make you stop, then yes, that," Marth made up.

But no avail- Roy kept on making ghost noises, waving his arms around the air and walking around the hall- all this whilst he had the white blanket covering himself.
Marth shook his head and decided to give up by sitting on the last step of the stairs, hopelessly watching his friend act like a 2 year old.

"Ooooohhh... Oooohhhh! Mwahaha!"

Whilst all this was going on, Marth heard two men talking and walking down the stairs. He turned around and saw Ike and Robin, who made eye contact with Marth. They would've asked why he was sat on the stairs until they spotted Roy, who was still acting like a ghost. Ike and Robin gave a confused look at Marth, who sighed and shook his head.

'I don't know what he's doing...' Marth mouthed at them. Ike chuckled quietly, and he was about to walk off until he noticed that Robin was smirking at Roy- I mean, the ghost.

"What are you smiling about?" Ike asked.
Robin looked at Ike before replying-
"Wait here a second..."

Robin ran up the stairs, leaving Ike and Marth confused. Ike decided to catch up with Marth, and so he walked down the stairs and sat next to the Prince, joining him in watching their silly friend.

"Why... when... what...?" Ike tried to ask a question, but he didn't really know what to say.
"He saw the white blanket in the living room, and then that happened," Marth answered, reassuring a concerned Ike.

"Ooohhh! I'm a ghoooost!"
Roy was saying these things too loud, so he couldn't hear all the bickering from his friends...

Suddenly, Robin came running down the stairs, holding in his laughter and quickly catching up with Ike and Marth.
"Robin? Where did you go?" Marth asked. Robin snickered, sitting on the step beside Ike.
"You'll see... oh, do you mind if we all budge up a bit? We need to make space for... someone," Robin moved up slightly, closer to the wall. Ike and Marth looked at each other in confusion, before doing as the tactician said and budged up...

Then it happened.

"GHOST!!"

A cry was heard from upstairs, and the three men turned their heads around to see what was going on upstairs.
Out of nowhere, a panicked Luigi came rushing down the stairs, with his Poltergust 3000 (I think that's what it's called?) strapped to his back. He quickly caught up with Roy, aiming the tube at him...

"BOO!" Roy shouted, laughing at the same time.

Luigi yelled, before turning on the vacuum- somehow, the Poltergust 3000 suddenly managed to successfully suck up the white sheet, making Roy lose his balance and fall onto the floor! Marth, Ike and Robin watched the blanket travel into the tube, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Roy, who felt very dizzy, tried processing what just happened whilst the three, sat on the stairs, bursted into laughter! Marth was trying to compose himself, but he couldn't stop laughing! Ike was laughing the loudest out of the trio- seeing Roy falling over was by far the funniest thing he has ever seen! Robin was laughing quite loudly too, also because his plan was successful.

Luigi, on the other hand, was still spooked out by the 'ghost' he has just encountered, and so he shakily ran upstairs to hide, without helping Roy.

"Uhh..." The red-head couldn't even stand up, so he just remained on the floor, trying to recover from his fall...

Well, thats what he gets for... being a ghost, I guess...!

So that's a rushed story I made just for you! :D
