Three years had passed since the finale, and Billy and Mandy were in their first year of Middle School, so far not much had changed. Grim was still their slave, same kids, same weird supernatural activities and as always, same Endsville. The only thing that has changed is that Billy and Mandy are eleven years old now, and they have a new school and teachers.

It was a particular boring day. As boring as it can get on a school day anyway, we find Billy and Mandy confronted with their teacher. A bald man with a large grey moustache wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He had a very stern, strict look to him. Unlike Miss Butterbean who was uncaring and quite lazy, he got the job done well and kept other students from misbehaving efficiently.

Billy looked from left to right looking at the other students, ignoring the pop-quiz given to him. Mandy was looking at some articles she smuggled into class, she had finished her pop-quiz easily; Irwin had also finished his pop-quiz easily and he was staring straight ahead with his hands together, though when he thought people weren't looking, he turned to some papers to draw many pictures of him and Mandy being romantic.

Mindy was ignoring hers as she was sorting out her makeup, Sperg ate his and Pud'n and Nergal Junior were working on theirs but were having trouble, the same as the other students in the classroom. Billy soon turned his attention to his pop-quiz, which only had a few random doodles of pirate clowns with flamethrowers and cats on limousines driven by robot frogs.

The article Mandy was looking at specifically was of yesterday's big news. "Danville Museum's Rare Ruby has been stolen."

Danville was a city quite far from here, one that she wasn't familiar with, all she knew was that it was a place known for spending their summer vacation to the limit. But this ruby was what got her attention more.

Dubbed the Cyclops Ruby, it was an extremely rare brilliant gem stone with a golden sphere inside of it, the sphere itself had a thin line inside it that made it look like a snake eye, because of its unique design and was supposedly centuries years old, it's been marked as over several quadrillion dollars in value, one small gemstone that has fifteen zeroes in it. It could turn the poorest to the richest in mere seconds. And now it was out of its safe haven and somewhere out there for grabs.

With a gemstone that valuable, she could buy anything she would want, including rights to every country if possible, while Mandy was president at one point, standards and regulations changed forcing her to retire quickly, which was annoying, but she didn't care enough to fight back, while it would be nice to rule the world like she had planned back then, she hasn't focused much on it nowadays due to focusing more on her education. But every time the Ruby comes into question, she keeps imagining herself with it and using it to buy most of not all the world.

She dove from her thoughts as the teacher soon stood up and faced the classroom with a serious gruff look on his face. "Alright students… as you know, tomorrow is the school trip. All of you must be at the school at 6:30 sharp"

Pud'n raised his hand. "AM or PM?"

"AM."

All the students looked shocked with an annoyed expression, same went for Mandy who kept the same evil look all day until now. "Hey, don't go complaining to me! It's not my idea to take you and two more classes to a camping trip. But look… you have to arrive at 6:30AM sharp, and bring enough clothes for two weeks, and some food if you feel like bringing some, we will have enough food for you there to last for a month either way… and once you get there, tell the teachers and staff about anything you might be allergic too, we don't want another accident. Class dismissed."

With that, the students packed their books and equipment, put them into their bags and made their way for the door. Billy, Mandy and Irwin got into their usual line of three as they made their way back to their street.

"6:30AM… why so early?" moaned Billy.

"Maybe it's to have us experience the fun of long field trips." Said Irwin trying to sound optimistic.

"How can I do that when I'm asleep?"

Mandy chose to ignore Billy's complaining and Irwin's annoying chattering. She let out a quiet sigh, she had forgotten about the trip, now if the Ruby ends up in Endsville, she may miss her chance unless she's lucky enough for it to arrive to her. Nevertheless, she suspected that all of America will be at an uproar trying to find the Cyclops Ruby before anyone else.

Billy and Mandy were walking home not long after Irwin left the group to his own house, Mandy still thought about the Ruby, but not as much since she was forced to listen to Billy's annoying rambles, changing subjects almost instantaneously, but she was thankful when she noticed her house, so she began to walk faster, and at that point, Billy drifted from her to head to his own house.

"See ya tomorrow Mandy."

"Yeah, see ya." Mandy responded in a bored tone.

About thirty minutes had passed and Mandy had been doing the same thing, she had been lying on her couch while changing channels, but she had been focusing on the news reports specifically, and no matter which one she flicked to, it was the same thing, reports on almost everyone trying to find the Cyclops Ruby.

But from the collection of reports she listened to, she learned that not only are they unable to detect it with their best technology, but the thief is still completely unknown, left no trace, eluded all cameras and made no sound, no witnesses by man or machine. Might as well be a super ninja.

At that point, Grim came in and sat down on the far end of the couch, he let out a small smirk as he looked at the TV. "Dey still looking fer that ting?" Grim asked in his strong Jamaican accent.

"Yep." Mandy replied.

"Tch, humans. I always said they would drive demselves to extinction, now dat dis limitless cash is out there, tis only a matter of time before we see a big war somewhere. And I'll be dere to take all their souls to the afterlife." Grim proceeded to rub his chin. "Although come to tink of it, it looks kinda familiar."

"I'm assuming you've done all my chores if you're here, right?"

Grim shrugged. "Yeah, of course."

"Fine, in any case, Billy and I are going on a trip tomorrow for two weeks. And you're coming with me."

"Hmph." Grim responded. "I suppose I get no say in dis?"

"You guessed it. I'm not staying in some old dusty village for two weeks without your scythe to make things more interesting. Besides, you could use your magic to help locate that Ruby."

"Knew it." Grim sighed before standing up Grim stood up. "Whatever, in any case, I need to do a few rounds of reaping before I call it a day. I'll catch you later."

With that, Grim disappeared in a flash of black light. Mandy turned to the TV again and continued to watch the news fly by. A picture of the Cyclops Ruby soon showed itself on the screen, a red brilliant cut gemstone with a yellow sphere inside of it. The moment it shown itself, Mandy imagined herself looking down onto a world that worshiped her and everything about her, with a mountain of limitless money behind her. A small smile developed on her face.
