I want to share one thing with you before you read this: this may possibly suck. Hey, at least I was being honest. Now, I don't know for sure if YOU will think it sucks, and I honestly don't think it sucks, but hey…I'm biased. After all, it's my story. Nonetheless, this is only a pilot on what I hope will be a fanfiction series someday. If you have any suggestions or advice, feel free to tell me and I will consider it well, for I don't think I can make an entire fanfic series of these guys all by myself…especially since some of my earlier fanfic series (not on this site) were either unfinished or not so good, so my confidence isn't very big. Now that I have shared that with you, please enjoy The Sibling Rivalries of Scott & Penelope.

THE SIBLING RIVALRIES OF SCOTT & PENELOPE

-1-

A red-headed man paced impatiently outside the maternity ward. "I hope she's okay," the man said nervously. He heard a man scream inside the room. "What the heck was that?!"

-X-

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" a skeleton yelled as a blonde woman in labor squeezed his bony hand tightly. "LET GO OF ME, WOMAN!!!"

"G-Grim…" the woman snarled. "Billy…was…too…ch-chicken…to be…in here…himself…so you…will…just…have…to suffer…AHH!"

The nurse didn't look up, but the blonde could still hear her voice. "Push! Push! I can see the head!"

-X-

The red-head (if you haven't figured out it was Billy yet, you need a brain transplant) heard another scream. This time he was sure it was her.

Billy kicked himself. "I should be the one in there. Not Grim." Still, he awaited the news from the doctor.

-X-

The doctor finally came out of the room. "Bill?"

Billy nodded. "Is she okay?"

"Mandy is doing great," the doctor said with a smile. "And so is your baby boy."

Billy couldn't help but smile. He had a son! A man to carry on his family name! …What was his family name again? Ah, who cares? He had a son!

Billy walked in and saw his wife with their newborn baby. He walked up to the blonde and kissed her on the cheek.

"Bill, would you like to cut the cord?" the doctor asked.

"Uh…that's Grim's department." Then he turned to Mandy, ignoring Grim's complaining. "How you feeling?"

"Fine, no thanks to you," Mandy replied.

"Sorry. Hospitals make me queasy."

"So…do you want to name him or should I?"

"Ooh! I'll name him!" Billy gleamed. "Booger!"

There was a long pause, followed by: "We can't name him Booger."

"Why not? You ever hear of these celebrity kids' names? Suri, Pilot Inspektor, God'iss Love Child, Jefferson Texas Hammond. C'mon! Texas, Mandy! What's wrong with Booger?"

"One, you forgot Audio Science. Two, kids will laugh at him."

"C'mon! People laugh at me all the time, and my name's normal!"

"Tell you what… Booger can be his middle name. No one cares about middle names anymore."

"YAY! So…what will his first name be?"

Mandy thought for a moment. "I…kinda like the name Scott. What do you think?"

Billy smiled. "Scott Booger…" At this moment, Grim accidentally cut his thumb off with the cord and his scream drowned out Billy's voice. "…Sounds good to me!"

-X-

Two days later, the couple (and Grim) took Scott to their home in Endsville. And unfortunately for Mandy (and everyone else later on), it didn't take very long for another child to be planned for…
