This is my first fanfic, so try not to be too hard on it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Billy & Mandy.

He gazed upon the ceiling as he lies on Billy's bed and let out a sigh, officially bored to tears.

They've been chatting to his new parent for about an hour now, though he's never actually met her or him yet, not like he gave a damn though. He just wants to get out of this wretched place and just move on with his new guardian.

Though that doesn't mean he'll trust this new parent as much as he trusts his real parents.

He closes his eyes and shudders at the thought of his parents. They're both dead. Dead and gone forever. Taken away from him by a blink of an eye. Now he's alone.

Nergal was working a night shift a week ago, leaving Aunt Sis and Junior alone for the night. The next morning, one of his workers found him dead in his office, his lifeless eyes still shown. Turns out that he died from poison that was put into his coffee.

Aunt Sis was the most unpleasant.

She was just in the mall a few days ago, shopping for groceries and some material for her own. She decided to go to the ladies restroom so she can put some of her make-up on. As she's about to put her chapstick on, she's suddenly grabbed by the hair by an unseen figure. Her throat has been slit by it's pocket knife and the figure leaves her alone to die in this empty restroom.

Junior was just hanging around at Billy's house, watching some television with Billy and Mandy. Luckily, the police were able to spot him walking with the duo after school was finished. The police have visited Billy's to tell him the news. After he was told about the deaths of his parents, Junior suddenly felt waves of pain in his chest, tears forming in his eyes. He was told this in front of Billy's parents, Billy himself, Grim and Mandy. He took one last look at them. Billy's parents, even Harold surprisingly, had faces of shock, Billy had a saddened expression and his tears were falling down his cheeks, Grim just stared at him with pity and Mandy….

She was showing an emotion that was unlike her. Sadness. Her usual glare and evil attitude gone and replaced with sadness. She was feeling sympathy for him.

Junior ran upstairs, only to have Gladys calling for him to calm him down, and locked himself into their bathroom and sat to a fetal position, letting his tears fall and sobbed quietly.

Their deaths happened a week ago.

A few days later after their deaths, he has been informed that he'll live with a new parent. His guardian is named Jared Williams.

Now, after days of sleeping over at Billy's, his parents and the police are having a talk with Jared at the moment. His bags have been placed in the back of his car and now he wants to get out of here.

He gets out his MP3 player and checks his list of bands to play some songs so it can kill the boredom.

Velvet Acid Christ, The Kovenant, Skinny Puppy, Cradle Of Filth….

Unfortunatly, he wasn't interested in listening to any of them until he reached down to a song that his father played for him.

Actually, he played it because both he and Aunt Sis saw how down Junior felt during the night they had a party. Suddenly, Aunt Sis had an idea. She told Nergal to fetch a song that feels right to Junior. When Nergal back with a CD, Aunt Sis asked Junior if he wanted to dance with her. He gladly accepted. He needed some company. As the song started playing, she took his hands and did a slow dance. The song itself was beautiful and gloomy, it felt right to Junior. She said to him that this will be their song. He promised her that he'll play this song to someone he'll care for dearly.

The song was "A Sun That Never Sets" by Neurosis.

He puts his MP3 away and stares at the ceiling again.

He sighed again and turned himself to face Billy's wardrobe, Feeling like this meeting is gonna take forever.

"Hey, Junior."

His eyes were wide open and got himself to a sitting position to see who just called his name.

Mandy.

"Oh. Hey, Mandy. Whats up?" he replied.

"Nothing much. You?"

He sighs. "Well, I'm bored and I'm waiting for that stupid meeting downstairs to be over."

"Yeah. I know what you mean. It's been….. an hour?"

"Correct."

Mandy smirked a little and made her way to the bed to sit down next to Junior.

"Hows Billy? Still crying his head off?"

She scoffed amusingly. "He'll get over it. You know what he's like. Forgets everything for about a second and moves on in his life. Not like he's going to kill himself after you're gone, which I highly doubt for an egg-headed idiot like him."

Junior chuckled at that remark. "You certainly know how to use wit, don't you?"

"I was born to."

Junior, for the first time in a week, smiled. Ever since he was feeling alone after the deaths of his parents, Mandy would always come by to cheer him up a little bit.

She's like a whole new person.

Though don't expect her to wipe that stern glare of hers of her face.

Suddenly, his smile faded only to see Mandy looking down at the floor with a saddened expression.

"You okay?"

She didn't reply. Just sat there, looking down the floor.

"Mandy?"

Suddenly, an unexpected question escaped her lips.

"Will I ever see you again?"

Junior's eyes were wide with shock.

"Wh-wh-what? Why?"

Mandy stayed silent for a minute, then said.

" I just… "

"Yes?"

"I just don't wanna be alone. I mean, I have Billy and bonehead to keep company with, but…. I like it better when you're here. You're so…. different to everyone else and….. I always kinda liked that about you."

Junior, after that, smiled again.

"Thanks. I guess I could say the same thing about you too."

Mandy looked up at Junior and smirked.

"Really?"

"Well…. Yeah." He said with a grin

Mandy gave him a small smile and gave him something she's been holding in her hand since she came up to Billy's room looking for Junior.

"Here. Billy wants you to have this."

Junior took the object and took his eyes off Mandy to see what it is that Billy wants him to keep. It seems to be some kind of golden locket watch.

"Whats this?

"It's a watch"

Mandy moved over to him.

"Open it"

He opened it and inside was also a small photo of Billy, Junior and Mandy. Billy had a huge grin, Junior looked a bit nervous and Mandy had a small smile, but both looked like they never noticed. Junior snickered a bit.

"What?" Mandy asked

"Never knew you smiled. We would've came out of shock for months after seeing that." Junior joked

For the first time in her life, Mandy chuckled. He was surprised to hear Mandy, the merciless ice queen, chuckle, but he had to admit, he kinda liked it. It was… cute. Junior then smiled and chuckled along.

Mandy stopped chuckling and looked at Junior with a smile, only to have that smile after 10 seconds.

"I'm gonna miss you, Junior."

Junior's smile faded as well, feeling pain inside his heart after hearing those words.

"Yeah."

He looked down with sadness and guilt. He was never going to see his friends again. He might come by sometime, but it just won't feel the same. Suddenly, he felt something hugging him. It was Mandy. At first, he seemed really shocked that this was coming from Mandy herself, but after a few seconds, he started to like it. He felt safe and comfortable.

She then releases Junior and by the looks of her cheeks, she's blushing.

"Sorry" said Mandy, looking down in embarrassment.

Junior smiled "It's alright."

There was a bit of silence filling up the room, other than Billy's crazy ranting going on outside, Grim yelling at Billy to give back his sythe, and the chatting that's been going on downstairs.

"Mandy?"

Mandy, who was fiddling with Billy's sheets a bit, looked up at Junior.

Junior was about to say something until someone opened the door. Gladys stepped into the room and smiled a sad smile at Junior.

"Junior, it's time to go."

Junior looked back at Mandy, who looked sad that he has to go. They both walked downstairs and Junior finally sees his new parent.

Jared was a rather tall, broad man whole looked like he reached his early 40s.

He has short black hair, a rather big nose, square-like chin and hazel eyes.

He also has a grey jacket, revealing his white button-up shirt, black trousers and sneakers.

"So this the boy?"

"Yes, Jared."

Gladys turned around and introduced Junior to Jared.

"Junior, this is your new step parent Jared. You'll be living with him from now on. Don't worry. You can still come over for a visit if you like. Not all the time, since you'll be living far away from us and you'll be going to a new school over at Beginningsville, but your company is still welcomed here."

"Yeah" Junior mumbled

Junior observed Jared and so far, he doesn't like what he sees. Junior feels slightly uncomfortable living with someone like him. He looks very… seedy and untrustworthy, not somebody you would wanna introduce your friends with. Mandy observed this and she couldn't agree more.

"So you're Junior, ay?" he said in a rather shady British accent.

Junior responded by nodding.

Jared smiled down at him.

"It's nice to meet you, mate."

He bent down and hold out his hand for a shake. Junior slowly raised his hand. Jared gladly took it and gave him a firm handshake.

"I heard what happened with your parents and I'm dearly sorry for the loss. But I'll make sure that I'll be there for ya and take good care of ya. If anything goes wrong, just come to me."

Junior felt like he was going to throw up just by looking at this man. He's eyes shallow, his facial expression stern and his tone of his shady voice just gives him the creeps.

"Okay…" Junior replied rather quietly.

"Atta boy!" he said happily.

He mildly hit his shoulder in a rather playful way.

"Well, we better get going, ay? We don't wanna get there late."

Junior looked back Mandy, who seemed pretty annoyed with Jared, hence returning her evil glare, but then her expression softened when Junior looked back to her, who was looking rather sad as well.

"Yeah."

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"LET GO, BILLY!!!!!!"

Billy has been doing this for 10 minutes now. He's been sobbing ludly, sending snot everywhere, including Junior, and he won't let go of his legs. He's next to Jared's car, the passenger door opened for him, but that won't get him in with Billy on his feet.

"Billy, for godsakes, let him go!!!" Mandy snapped

Billy, sniffling, finally lets him go. Junior sighed and went in the car.

"YOU CAN'T GO!!!!! I NEEDS YOU!!!!!!!!!" Billy yelled.

Junior sighed "Sorry, Billy."

"Ey, Junior. I got some elderly souls to harvest over at Beginningsville next week. Maybe I can see you there to see how tings are going." Grim called out.

Junior smiled. "Thanks, Grim. But no need."

As he's about to shut the passenger door, a hand stopped the door from closing.

"Mandy?"

"Junior, I don't have much to say, but…"

She close her eyes, not feeling comfortable for what she's about to say.

"Even though you've never seen it,... I think you're a good friend. Be careful, alright."

Junior smiled "Thanks, Mandy."

She then shuts the door and steps back into the yard. Grim waves at Junior with a smile on his face, Billy is just sitting there on the grass, snot oozing out of his nose and still crying, Harold and Gladys just stand there and wave, though it could be possible that Harold's just waving at a flying bird in the sky and Mandy's just standing there, watching Junior sadly, but still waving at him.

Jared gets in the car by the drivers seat.

"Right. Time to go."

He started the car up and was set to drive out of here. Junior waved back at the family, but caught something that will haunt his life forever.

He saw a tear running down Mandy's cheek. Was Mandy… crying? She's never cried before. All she could do was just insult everyone and she doesn't show one sight of her weakness. But there she was, crying. Crying because he has to leave her. Everybody else was to busy to notice, but Junior just looked at her with shock and guilt. He felt bad that he had to leave. She then ran back into the house. Jared then drove off the property.

They're now in the town of Endsville, stuck in traffic, which has been has been going for half an hour. Jared's got the radio on, but slightly turned down. Junior couldn't stop thinking about Mandy. He feels pain in his chest when thinking about her.

Junior lets out a sigh of sadness and continues looking out the window.

'I'm sorry, Mandy'.

"You know… I met your mother once." Jared broke the silence.

Junior turned around to face him, eyes wide.

"R-really?"

"Yeah. Funny gal. She had a thing for smart guys. Me? I was just trying to get into her pants. Fucking slut."

After hearing that, Junior was starting to feel anger rising within.

"What?" he seethed.

"She had to dump me for that, ay? Being the whore she is. That Nergal fuck was no better. Think he could have that tight pussy, ay?"

Junior felt his fists curl and shook in rage. Who the hell was he to talk about his parents that way.

"Then they had you; a little four-eyed freak who spends wasting his time alone with no friends and probably won't get a good fuck because of your pathetic presence."

"Fuck you." He said quietly.

Suddenly, he wished he never said that.

"What was that?" Jared growled.

Junior didn't say anything.

Jared checked to see that the traffic still isn't moving. He scoffed and then turned back to Junior. He then grabs Junior by the chin and whacks him hard on the mouth, causing his head to whip around and hit the window. He then grabs him by he collar of his black shirt, use his other to press his fingers against his cheeks and got him to look at him, eye to eye.

"You listen to me, you pathetic piece of shit!!! You don't live with your mommy and daddy anymore!!! They're dead, taken away from this planet and theres nothing that a fucking little prick like you can do about!!!! You belong to me now!!!! I own your pathetic little ass!!!!! So you better stop your fucking shit right now because if you don't, I'll stop this car somewhere isolated, beat you to fucking bloody pulp and maybe if I want to, rape the fucking shit out of you and leave you locked up the attic to fucking rot!!!!! You're not living in mommy and daddy's world anymore, you're living in MINE!!!!!

UNDERSTAND?!"

He shook his face hard when he said the last part.

"HUH?!"

Junior nodded fearfully.

"Good." He seethed

He pushed Junior back to his seat with such force.

"Now keep your fucking mouth shut, you shit-faced cunt, or I'll make sure you'll be sleeping with enough bruises you can take tonight."

Junior just sat there, tears falling down his face and quietly sobbing. He regretted leaving with this monster. He was scared. He just wants to go back and embrace his loved ones and cry his tears out. And this may sound funny (and not in a 'haha' way, but a 'I feel weird' way), but he wants to back and let her hold in her arms, like she did before he left with this bastard, so he could feel safe, so he could feel protected, but he can't. He just can't. She's gone. Gone out of his life. Gone forever. He's got this leech to live with, he has him under his control and theres nothing he nor anyone can do about it.

Whoo!!!! Well, what do you think? Good? Bad? Blah! Hope you enjoyed it though. I hope I can get a second chapter soon, okay?

Flames are welcome.
