Third Person Point of View

The season was summer. The chirping cries of cicadas can be heard echoing throughout the evening atmosphere. There was a small group of Smashers were walking on a grassy path. They walked underneath a torii gate, which had crows on top of the gate. The crows just stared at them, clueless and not even minding their business. Soon, they came across a rural, abandoned mansion.

"Do you really want to go in there?" Rufure (Female Robin) asked.
"Why did we come here?" Link asked.
"From what I heard, there are rumors that there used to be a girl who lived here all by herself. One day, the girl had apoarently hung herself in this mansion. They also said that her ghost haunts this place every night," Peach said.
"And you want us to go in there to see if that is true?" Shulk asked.
"Correct! Come on!" Peach asked.
"I doubt that it would appear, but who cares," Link said.

The four of them opened the front door and turned on the flashlights that they brought with them. They begain to look around the mansion for this ghost.

"This ghost has got to be around here somewhere!" Peach said.
"Well this 'ghost' is not going to appear in a dusty place like this!" Link scolded.
"I wished I would stay at home," Rufure said.
"I don't why I agreed to do this in the first place," Shulk mumbled to himself.

Unbeknownst to them, there was someone standing upstairs looking down at them. It was a girl who goes by the name (y/n). (Y/n) was wearing a high school uniform with a (f/f) hair pin on her (h/l), (h/c) hair, and (e/c) eyes. As she looked down at them, she began to wave at them in order to get their attention. Sadly, it didn't work because it appears that they couldn't hear her. When the group shined their flashlights on the spot that you were standing on...they didn't see her. A few minutes later, the group, especially Peach, concluded that there was nothing there.

"Let's go. I told you that the ghost girl wasn't going to appear," Link grumbled.
"Yeah. This is wasting our time here," Rufure chimed in.
"Aw man! And I was hoping to prove the rumors that they were true!" Peach whined as she gave up.
"Oh come on. Don't bring me out here like that again," Shulk said.

(Y/n) noticed that they were leaving and rushed to them...

"I'm not dead! Guys!"

...but they were already gone.

Somehow, Shulk was the only one who heard her screams echoing through the air. But he shrugged it off as a part of his imagination and ran back with the others.

(Y/n) sighed and began to walk back into the abandoned mansion. Yes, this mansion is considered to be (Y/n)'s home. She would never leave this place for some reason. (Y/n) looked at the dusty, grandfather clock, whose clock hands had apparently stopped working for a long time. As she began to lay down on the ground, she began to sob all by herself throughout the night until morning.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

The next day, Shulk was walking all by himself until he noticed the grassy path that lead to the abandoned mansion. Somehow, he is beginning to feel that there was something in there. But his mind told to never go there and don't check. He obeyed his thought and walked past the path, not even looking back.

(Y/n) looked at Shulk from the window in the mansion and sighed to herself. Just like Shulk, she is beginning to feel something about him. It felt like she knew him in the past, but her mind was just one big blank. Heck, she couldn't even recall the faces of her parents, friends, or anybody that (y/n) is close to.

As the summer days went by, there would be other Smashers that would come to see if the 'rumors of the ghost girl' were true, but would always end up concluding that there was nothing in the mansion. (Y/n) became depressed about why the Smashers would never notice her no matter how many times she tried to get their attention. It felt like God was making fun of her by pulling a huge prank on her.

One evening, (y/n) was just sitting on the floor by herself. No one hadn't come into the mansion, which she was very relieved about. Suddenly, she notice a grey cat passing by. (Y/n) looked at the cat as it was wandering about until it just sat there.

"You can't see me too, right?" (Y/n) said to the cat.

But the cat didn't hear her, just as (y/n) had apparently expected. She reached her hand out to pet the cat, but something that was the unexpected happened. Her hand went through the cat, which startled it and the cat ran out of the mansion.

"(gasp) What just happened?!" (Y/n) shrieked.

She looked at herself and realized that she was entirely transparent.

"...Am I really dead?"

(Y/n) just sat there hugging her knees, completely lost in thoughts by herself.

As the summertime passed by, (Y/n) gazed at the illuminated houses from a distance and would sometimes see beautiful fireworks going off in the night sky, to which she finds them very pretty.

But one day, before the end of summer, something had happened.

(Y/n) continued to roam around the mansion. Thing were getting quiet here. Suddenly, she noticed a picture cover in dirt on the ground. She had never seen it before, so she examined it really carefully. Somehow, she was able to pick it up and cleaned the dirt off. Once she did, (y/n) sees a picture of herself and her friends. She noticed that one of her friends in the picture was actually Shulk.

Then it all came back to her.

She finally remembered who this Smasher was. In fact, (y/n) had even developed a crush on the Monado boy. How on earth did she even forget about him?

Something else came to her. A small memory which made her realize that she had been dead the whole time. (Y/n) finally remembered how did she even die.

It happened before summer began, two weeks before all of this happened. (Y/n) was just hanging out with the Smashers in the Smash Mansion until she had received word that her mother was dying back at her home. Immediately, she left the Smash Mansion in a hurry and went to go see her mother. (Y/n) used to have a father, but he died when she was very young. Once she arrived at her home, she sees her mother, bedridden, in her last breaths. Her mother gave her a few final words before passing away. It was an emotional impact for (y/n). Nothing left, she grabbed a rope and made a noose on it in her bedroom. Once her neck was on the noose, she kicked the foot stool that she was on and her life was gone.

(Y/n) began to cry about her past being revealed.

At the same time, Shulk was just reading a book back at the Smash Mansion. He kept thinking about the abandoned mansion until somethig had hit him. The Monado boy remembered a girl named (y/n), who used to live in the mansion. He also had a crush on her. But one day, she disappeared from the Smash Mansion without leaving a trace. He slammed his book closed and decided to run back to the abandoned mansion in hopes of finding (y/n).

Back at the rundown mansion, (y/n) noticed that the people's rumors of her had immediately died down quietly. The sound of cicadas chirping were getting quieter, knowing that the summer was about to end. But (y/n) knew that she was just a rumor that had started in June and was supposed to end in August. Her consciousness was just a mere silhouette wandering the earth.

As Shulk ran back into the rundown mansion, he pulled the front door open and looked around, until he saw the ghost girl standing in the middle of the room right in front of him.

"(Y/n)!" Shulk yelled.

(Y/n)'s head perked up at the voice of someone who is calling her name. She turned around to see her crush, Shulk, right in front of her.

"(Y/n), is that you?"
"You're...Shulk. Correct?"
"Oh, (y/n), it is you!"

Oddly enough, he can touch her as he embraced the girl. (Y/n) was surprised and a small pink blush escaped her cheeks.

"(Y/n), I just want to let you know that...I love you," Shulk confessed.

(Y/n)'s (e/c) eyes widen as she heard his confession. Tears began to well up her eyes and sled down her cheeks. Until then, she closed her eyes and smiled.

"I love you too, Shulk."

Until then, a white light began to surround (y/n). Shulk pulled back and his blue eyes widen as he sees (y/n) beginning to disappear. (Y/n) looked at her own hands and knew that she had accepted her fate. The ghost girl did a small smile and looked at Shulk, who was on the verge of breaking down.

"No! You can't go, (y/n)!"
"(giggle) I'm sorry, Shulk. But my time is up."
"No!"

(Y/n) took 2 steps back from him and smiled shyly at the Monado boy as she is being levitated from the ground.

"Farewell, Shulk. May we again in a better life."

With those final words, (y/n) disappeared completely as her spirit is put to rest. The (f/f) hair pin that was on (Y/n)'s hair landed on the wooden floor. Shulk picked it up and looked at the beautiful hair pin that was left on the ground. It was like a memento for him to keep.

"(Y/n)..."

Tears began to fall down from the Monado boy's blue eyes. He knew that (y/n) didn't deserve this fate. He put her (f/f) hair pin on his blond hair and walked upstairs to (y/n)'s bedroom. He sees a noose blowing gently from the cold wind. The Monado boy stood on top of a footstool as he grabbed the noose.

Wait for me, (y/n). I'll be with you.

Once he put the noose on his neck, he kicked the foot stool off of him and everything around him went completely black.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

Since then, Shulk's restless spirit wandered around the abandoned mansion all by himself everytime, as if he was continuously searching for (y/n).

And thus began The Hanged Boy in the Haunted Mansion.

Tsubasa: I know that half of it doesn't match with the song, but I had to make a few edits on some parts of it. Just deal with it.
Shulk: You tried it at least.
Tsubasa: Thanks. Anyways, if you like the one-shot, vote and review about it. Don't like, don't spread the hate.
