Gracie is seen getting ready for school as 3 months have passed since Tang's funeral. 

From off her desk, the brunette grabs a picture of her in a blue colored mixed princess dress as she is seen standing next to her mom, Elsa, her aunt and uncle, Anna and Kristoff, and her dad/creator, Bowser. 

Slightly shaking while looking at the picture, she quickly puts the picture down without hesitation as she grabs her pick backpack. 

The brunette then sighs shakily at the thought of Koopaing out with whatever she was feeling as she is seen while she paces her bedroom. 

Gracie begins to sing as if there was music playing in the background.

[Gracie:] 

I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? 

Gracie heads downstairs to the dining room and kitchen where an older woman, three men, and a dog were eating and getting ready. 

The older woman has a tall and slender build, blue eyes, rosy cheeks, thin pink lips, a small nose, long platinum-blonde hair, pale skin with a light dusting of freckles, and wore a combination between her second outfit and her dress from her Snow Queen state. 

Her name is Elsa, Gracie's mom. 

Elsa is seen grabbing a paper brown bag labelled "Gracie 💜" and hands it to Gracie, who takes it with a soft and reassuring smile. 

Fatgum, Mario, and Luigi are seen eating cereal while Krypto is seen eating dog food. 

Fatgum has blonde hair and yellow eyes, and wore an orange zippered up hoodie with the initials of his hero alias with a clear F, G, and inverted F on it, gloves, a mask going around his eyes and over his forehead, black pants, and metallic boots. 

Mario has brown hair, a brown mustache, and blue eyes, and wore a red hat with his first initial of his name on it, a red long-sleeved shirt, blue overalls, white gloves, and brown shoes. 

Luigi has brown hair, a brown mustache, and blue eyes, and wore a green hat with his first initial of his name on it, a green long-sleeved shirt, blue overalls, white gloves, and brown shoes. 

Krypto is a white furred Labrador Retriever wearing a gold collar and a red cape with the Superman symbol on it. 

They are Gracie's adoptive brothers and Elsa's adoptive sons. 

"Have a great day at school, honey." Elsa said smiling softly. 

"Yeah, I hope the day goes great for you, lil' sis." Fatgum said smiling a toothy grin. 

"I hope you have a very great day today, sissy." Mario said smiling determinedly. 

Luigi nods in agreement as he smiles brightly. 

"You can make it through this great day and any other great day." Luigi chimed in. 

Krypto barks in agreement as well. 

Gracie nods with a small smile and then walks out of the house and starts to walk in the direction of the school. 

The brunette breathes in and out of calmness and relaxness to give herself more confidence for the school day she was going to have. 

With the school now a few inches in front of her, she enters the school, looking timid and nervous about what might happen. 

Gracie avoids from walking into other people. 

[Gracie (Continued):] 

We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound? 

Gracie walks in the direction of the auditorium with the other kids. 

She hesitantly walks into different directions to several open seats, but she walks away when those seats get taken by other kids. 

The brunette panickily tries to find her gorilla prince boyfriend and animal loving friend as she is seen still trying to find to empty spots for her and him. 

[Gracie:] 

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window, oh
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (Oh) 

Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh 

(End) 

Once the song finished, Gracie breathes shakily as people clamor amongst themselves. 

"Gracie, over here!" A familiar voice called out. 

The brunette looks over to see her gorilla prince boyfriend and animal loving friend with an empty seat in between them. 

The gorilla is a massive, muscular gorilla, with brown hair-like fur, brown eyes, a tan face, ears, chest, hands and feet, a dark brown patch around his eye sockets, and is wearing a red tie with his initials in yellow text upon it. 

His name is Donkey Kong or DK for short and the son of Cranky Kong. 

The second female brunette is seen wearing a silver/gray headband, purple bow, blue shirt with light blue sleeves, yellow skirt with light blue belt, and yellow boots with purple hearts on light blue hemlines along with her purple glasses perched on her nose. 

Her name is Brenda Zandecki or Brenda for short. 

Gracie rushes over and takes the seat between where Donkey Kong and Brenda were sitting. 

She breathes in and out slowly as her breathing starts to slow down a bit from trying to find where Donkey Kong and Brenda were sitting. 

Brenda notices this and gently pats Gracie on the back as she smiles softly at her human-Koopa hybrid friend. 

Soon, a Yokai being is seen walking on the auditorium stage towards a wooden podium. 

He has caprid ears, a dark purple nose, long straight red hair half up in a bun, is clean-shaven, orange eyes, a dark pink body, dark purple cloven hooves, and is seen wearing a white kimono-like garment with teal and turquoise trim, two blue-green pauldrons, and a black hair tie. 

His name is Baron Draxum or Draxum for short. 

"Students, I gathered you all here on discussing Mr. Tang's mysterious death. For those who went to his funeral, had him as a teacher, heard his stories, and/or just knew him personally, a therapist will be coming in before lunch in case if anyone is still grieving over Mr. Tang's mysterious death for a while or if more time is needed." Draxum spoke calmly, but in a hinted sad tone. 

The students murmured in agreement since they all knew Tang before his mysterious death. 

Gracie sighed deeply as DK and Brenda hummed in agreement as well. 

Knowing it was difficult to see Tang go off into a better place, Gracie hated to see Pigsy sad whenever she went to go help in at the noodle shop. 

"Now, to help find that hooded figure killer is Mr. Black Hat." Draxum said with his voice still in the sad tone. 

A mystery being is seen walking onto the stage towards the podium as the sound of his shoe heels echoed in the auditorium. 

He has dark grey skin, cyan fangs, a forked tongue, no hair on his head, and is seen wearing a black top hat with a red band as well as a rimless monocle on his left eye, a black trench coat with inner red lining, a light grey waistcoat, dark grey pants, a red dress shirt, a black tie, dark gloves, occasionally summons a black walking stick that he forms from his shadow, and black shoes with white spats. 

His name is Black Hat, the owner of Black Hat Organizations. 

"Thank you, Principal Draxum. Like Principal Draxum stated, I'm going to help find the hooded killer. I know that one year prior before Mr. Tang's mysterious death that the same hooded figure had killed three students that were close friends with Mr. Tang. The three students' names are Leonardo, Anne Boochuy, and Luz Noceda." Black Hat stated coldly. 

Gracie's eyes widened in shock and horror as the students murmured amongst themselves about the mention of Leo, Anne, and Luz being killed last year. 

She glances over at Brenda, who has a horrified look on her face. 

Soon, Gracie places her hand on top of Brenda's hand as a reassurance. 

That one year ago, Brenda was given the news about Leo's mysterious death and had to go to a therapist to get that traumatic experience of her mind ass well as the news about Anne, Brenda was in a few classes with her and felt sad that one of her friends had been killed. 

Even that Gracie helped Brenda cope through that situation as a BFF. 

Soon, Gracie glances over in the direction of a young witch, who had tears forming in her eyes at the mention of Luz being one of the three students being killed. 

She has pale skin, golden eyes, pointed ears, long light purple hair with her brown roots visible at the top of her head, and is also seen wearing an off-the-shoulder dark blue tunic dress with olden trim and a white crescent moon pattern near the hem, a similarly-colored tank top underneath, a set of fingerless white gloves with black stitching, black tights, white heeled boots with golden soles and cuffs, as well as dark blue toes, minus the wig and cape, and pink nail polish. 

Her name is Amity Blight, the youngest daughter of the divorced Alastor and Odalia Blight and the young sister of twins Emira and Edric Blight. 

Amity begins to softly cry, reflecting on that one year that she gotten the devastating news about Luz's mysterious death and would come to school when she felt like it. 

Looking away from Amity's direction, Gracie frowns and stands up immediately without even giving it one thought from her mind. 

"Why would you even mention about three students who were killed by the same hooded figure in front of everyone, especially in front of those who have seriously mourned those three students' deaths?! If you are so smart about find this hooded killer, then you got some competition on finding the hooded figure!" Gracie remarked in a serious tone with a serious look appearing on her face. 

Amity looks up sadly to watch as the students murmured in agreement. 

Black Hat looks at the students murmuring and looks back at Gracie with a shocked look on his face to see that a student is standing up to him about finding the hooded figure. 

Soon, Gracie is seen standing on top of her seat with a determined look on her face. 

"If Black Hat is just going to find just simple clues on the hooded figure, that I say let me find the hooded figure before Black Hat and in memory of Leo, Anne, Luz, and Mr. Tang!!" Gracie shouted in a determined tone. 

Soon, the students, DK, and Brenda cheered loudly as Amity rushes over to Gracie and hugs the older girl immediately with a smile on her face. 

Black Hat watched with his right eye twitching in annoyance as he began to frown. 

He never knew that he would officially meet Bowser's daughter before him or have her go up against him to actually find the hooded figure. 

Soon, Draxum cleared his throat loud enough to catch the attention of the students, DK, Brenda, and Gracie to calm the noise down. 

"Students, I guess it is decided then. Gracie will do her own way of finding the hooded figure while Mr. Black Hat does his own way of finding the hooded figure. And yes, that would be in memory of Leo, Anne, Luz, and Mr. Tang." Draxum spoke out, smiling a timid smile. 

The students, DK, and Brenda cheered loudly once more as Gracie smiled happily. 

Black Hat squinted his eyes at the human-Koopa hybrid with an unamused look on his face as the students, DK, Brenda, and Gracie are seen exiting the auditorium while talking amongst themselves to Gracie about her plan on finding the hooded figure. 

"How are you going to do your plan differently from Black Hat's plan on finding the hooded figure?" One student asked intrigued. 

"Well, I, um..." Gracie started to speak about her plan. 

"Do you think the hooded figure is working together with your dad on what had happened to Leo, Anne, Luz, and Mr. Tang?" A second student chimed in their question. 

"I don't know. I know that will be a good lead at this point, but I don't really know if he and that hooded figure are working together on what had happened to Leo, Anne, Luz, and Mr. Tang, though-" Gracie said mid-sentence with a concerned look on her face. 

"Don't you talk to your dad anymore?" A third student asked. 

"No, not really because he wanted me to take the throne." Gracie said sounding uncomfortable while she nervously scratched the side of her right arm. 

"Have you even tries to have a serious conversation with him ever-" A fourth and final student started to ask mid-sentence. 

Suddenly, a bag of Chex Mix hit the fourth student square in the face. 

Everyone turned and looked to see Amity looking serious. 

"Enough questions. Gracie needs to start on her plan." Amity said. 

The young witch walks off with DK, Brenda, and Gracie following her as the students dejectedly went on their way to their respective homes. 

Looking down at the ground, Gracie sighs as she knew that what she was doing was going to be hard and difficult. 

"Gracie." Brenda spoke up, catching Gracie's attention. 

"Oh, Brenda, sorry about earlier. I know what you and Amity went through after you both lost you love partners." Gracie said looking a little sad. 

Brenda smiles softly at her human-Koopa hybrid friend as she gently pats Gracie on the back. 

Gracie sighs deeply as she continues to walk with Amity, DK, and Brenda. 

As Brenda reached her house next door to Gracie's house and said a "Goodbye" to the two lovebirds, Gracie and DK enter Gracie's house and started to go in the direction of her bedroom. 

"And just where do you think you're going with him, Gracie?" The voice of Mario asked seriously and protectively in a brotherly tone. 

Gracie groaned in embarrassment as she turned to her red themed and mustached brother. 

"Mario, we're just going to figure out my plan on finding the hooded figure." Gracie replied, almost whining like how a child would whine about something. 

"Uh, I don't think so. Not out of our eyesight, right, Lu?" Mario asked Luigi, who was seen eating a grilled cheese sandwich. 

Luigi hummed in confusion as he looked at DK, Gracie, and Mario. 

Gracie sighed in defeat, knowing that Mario was just being protective over her just because of Bowser being her dad and creator. 

"I don't see a problem with them working on Gracie's plan to find this hooded figure. I mean, yeah, they're a couple that could be doing something that would gross us out, but I personally trust Gracie, regardless how we protect her from Bowser." Luigi said pointing out the fact. 

"True, but Lu, what if she starts to Koopa out if she gets a panic attack or an anxiety attack!? We got to make sure we all gotta be there for her when she needs us." Mario said gesturing to where Gracie and DK were formerly standing. 

The two mustache brothers glance over and sigh in defeat that they know that she knew that they are just looking out for her in case if she needs them. 

Gracie sighs in defeat once again as she closes her bedroom and flops onto her bed. 

"Sorry about that. I guess I have a way of not mentioning my dad a lot." Gracie said looking a little embarrassed about it. 

DK approaches the bed and lays next to Gracie on the right side. 

"No, it's okay. I completely understand that you and your mom haven't talked to him for who knows how long and that is your choice to talk to your dad again." DK spoke gently and honestly, making Gracie smile softly as a blush came across her face. 

Gracie laughed happily as she cupped the left side of DK's face and happily kissed him on the cheek multiple times. 

She turned onto her back as they both stared up at the ceiling of her bedroom. 

"How am I going to do this plan? Everyone at school is counting on me to figure this out before Black Hat figures this out." Gracie said sounding upset with herself. 

"We'll figure this out before Mr. Top Hat figures this whole thing." DK said reassuringly. 

Gracie smiled as she and DK continued to think on what else they could for the plan. 

Outside the house, Bowser, Black Hat, and the hooded figure were seen watching Gracie and DK planning out the plan Gracie needed to work on. 

"Gracie is slowly being more confident than how she was when Tang was killed by you, Black Hat. Soon, she will discover that she has the ability to talk to lost souls." Bowser said seriously, deadpanning an unamused look to Black Hat. 

Black Hat looked unfazed upon seeing Bowser deadpan an unamused at him. 

"Don't worry, Dick Dastardly will take over as the hooded figure for me until I win with my plan against Gracie's plan." Black Hat said seriously as well. 

The hooded figure brought the hood down to reveal a tall man. 

He is 6 feet tall with a hunched posture, a muscular build, pasty skin, a strong jawline, white teeth, a prominent nose, and has short, oily, tousled, black hair along with a thin pointed moustache on his head and face, and wore a dark purple trenchcoat with a silver buckled black belt, a black sweatshirt, gray leggings, knee length buckled boots, and elbow length crimson leather riding gloves. 

His name is Dick Dastardly, Gracie's ex-boyfriend. 

"We all know that the plan will win against Gracie's plan." Dick Dastardly said looking seriously. 

Bowser chuckles evilly as he begins envision that Gracie had lost to Black Hat while the students praised Black Hat for finding the hooded figure. 

"Oh ho ho ho, this plan will win and beat Gracie's plan in its butt." Bowser said smiling an amusing grin on his face. 

He breathed out smoke from his nose as the smoke is now seen blocking the view of an non-seeable camera. 

It then fades to black.
