Disclaimer: All right, first things first, I do not own Grim Tales from Down Below. That belongs to Bleedman. Along with that, I do not own Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and other works. Those all belong to their respective owners/creators. Second, you all may notice that Mandy will be repetitively acting in-and-out of character throughout this work. This is mostly due to me not exactly liking the way Mandy is in the webcomic. To me she's kinda...slutty. Anyway, that will be toned down in this story. She will also somewhat have a loving/emotional side to her (although of course she will hide). Reason behind making this? So many fics in this section, and none have written about the wedding. So, therefore, this story was born.
Note: Yes, the first chapter is basically just a transcription version of Grim's proposal, with some alterations. The story will really take off in the second chapter.

Chapter 1- Accepting the proposal :
I saw Mandy grow into a beautiful woman, and it was in the prime of her life, I finally had the nerve to strike her down. "Is it time?"
"Yes. But... before I do this.."
"Yes Grim?"
"I have to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Mandy... Would you... marry me?"
I think without my help, Mandy's heart stopped for a moment. She was visibly surprised. "... W...W-w-w-what did you say?"
"I know... it doesn't seem like me but..."
"Don't give me this wishy-washy namby-pamby make you a better person type thing."
"Well.. No. Mandy? You drive me completely insane! You have, ever since I met you! You... have completely and utterly humiliated me! You've driven me insane with hatred, dread, and loathing... I envy that radiantly dark aura exuding from every fiber of your being! You... are so dark and gloomy you make dark caves seem bright. The fact is Mandy, you don't make me a better person, you make me a worse being... And because of that..."
"...Because of that...?"
"Because of dat, young lady... that you have reminded me... who I am, who I am supposed to be... The Grim Reaper. You have ten seconds to make up your mind before I kill you." The Expression on Mandy's face at that moment was priceless. For an instant, shock... and fear.
"Grim..." She said uncertainly as I brandished my Scythe.
"Only nine seconds now Mandy... Eight... Seven..."
"...I..."
"five... four..."
"Hey, what happened to six?"
"Four and a half... four and one third..."
"...Am I going to turn into some hideous ugly beast the likes of which the world's never Seen?"
"You're frightening enough already. Tree... Two..."
"I..."
"ONE!"
"DO!" And wit dat, the bonds of mortality were cut. First 'ting she said was... "You... do know I hate kids, right Grim?"
"We'll discuss that later Mandy."
"How would that even work anyhow?"
"Not important for you to know right now..." Of all de embarrassing questions to ask...
She had swiftly turned around, quickly making a call on her phone.
"Bellum."
"Yes ma'am?"
"I need hotel accommodations for two in Hawaii."
"Right away, ma'am"
"Eh?" I questioned out of confusion.
"Our Honeymoon". She simply answered as she ended the call with her secretary. But before she knew it, the blade of me scythe had quickly impaled the phone. She turned towards me with a questioning glare.
" As much as I look forward to de honeymoon, that comes later. First things first, de Wedding. " I said, or more likely, commanded.
Mandy had hardly ever heard me speak to her this way. Nor did she like it, so she sought to set me straight.
"One, never talk to me like that again, or I'll use your skull as a cup" she glared as she spoke, "Second, I hardly see the point of a wedding."
"Mandy, accepting my proposal had simply cut off yours bonds with mortality. De wedding although, takes care of the rest." I explained as I retracted me scythe.
"The rest?" She questioned, one eyebrow raised.
"Becoming my wife comes with a couple of things. Such as position of Underworld royalty, political complications, de works. De wedding is to make it official and to allow such to happen." I explained, my voice expressing the importance of such.
Mandy furrowed her brows as she thought the situation over. On one hands, such benefits would be a great gain to her. On the other, a wedding would require more time and effort than she cared for.
As if I was reading her mind, I had spoken up, "I'll do all de work, Mandy. Just give me tree days. Just me give me dat, and it'll be taken care of."
Mandy had taken a moment to ponder. She inhaled her cigarette as she thought things over. She figured three more days would be practically nothing added to the past thirteen years of waiting.
"You promise?" She asked, for she knew me of being a man if me word.
"I promise. You have me word." My tone spoke as if I was taking a solemn vow. Which in any case with Mandy, it might as well have been.
She glared at me heavily before speaking, "Three days, and that's it."
I couldn't resist but to make a wide open grin and shutter with excitement.
"Thank you, Mandy! I promise you, it'll all be taken care of for you!" I gushed uncontrollably.
"Well then, Bonehead.." She started to move towards me, which put me on me nerves for de moment. She lifted her head upwards, placing her lips upon where mine should be. Mandy was fooking kissing me!
"...you better starting working on this thing." She said, lips departing, her tone as if she hadn't just kissed me. I'm caught by both the surprise and the sudden snap back to reality. I realized she's right! If I'm to both pull this off and have everything go according to plan, I got to get crackin' right away!
You're right Mandy-"
"I always am." She interrupted, but I chose to keep going.
"-I better start right away! I'll see you in a few!" I said I used me scythe to rip open a portal in the fabric of the universe, and then exiting my way out.
(Continues but Normal POV):
Mandy inhales a puff of her cigarette, mentally gathering herself over what had just happened: After thirteen years, Death finally comes for her soul. Ends up bringing her a marriage proposal. She accepts to be his wife for all eternity. And within three days, she and Grim will be having a wedding to make it all official. Yep, quite an amazing 15 minutes she had just endured. That wasn't the biggest part. The biggest part...was the kiss.
What had came over her?! In the very, very few emotions she has, she does not recognize one of them compelling her to kiss the man she control over so many years ago. So the fuk just happened?!
Before she could herself any further, her train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of her personal cell phone.
"State your name and your business." She answered, not wanting to make small talk on the phone.
"Hey Mandy." Answered a dark and graveling, yet still feminine voice. Mandy recognized it instantly: Gaz Membrane.
Gaz is one of the few friends Mandy had when she moved to Megaville years back. Not to mention the main Captain of the "Neighbor Hood Watch" Mandy began to have control throughout Megaville.
"Hey Gaz. What's up?"
"So your Reaper friend just came by, asking me to be the maid of honor at your guys' wedding."
'Already? Damn, Bonehead moves fast!'
"And I told him Sure whatever. So I guess I'll be seeing at the wedding in three days." Gaz explains nonchalantly, then ending the call with a click.
At that moment, all Mandy could do was stared at her phone, long and hard for a solid minute. She allowed her mind to race and gather all her thoughts. Allowed her cunning intellect to analyze and interpret everything there was, but could only reach one conclusion...
"I'm going to be Mrs. Grim Reaper" ,she said, " I'm going to be Mrs. Grim Reaper".
And upon saying that a second time, the only she could do was conjure what could be a content smirk...
A/N: And that's chapter 1! Ok, so I know its not much and Mandy may seem out of character, but thats just how i work and its just the beginning. The second chapter will both be when the story takes life and will be published shortly. Plz keep on reading and review! Til then my friends!
