A/N: Being a huge GAOBM fan, I've been wanting to write a fanfic for a long time. This is my first one though, so go easy on me.
Chapter One: Just Another Summer Day
The quiet rhythm of the Atlantic's waves beating against the sand gave way to a brilliant sunrise on a somewhat cool, yet humid June morning. As the sun rose slowly over the long coastline, it crept up a large river until it came to the city. The gleaming of the sleek office buildings dominating the skyline meant a beautiful new day for the City of Endsville.
The numerous citizens of Endsville slowly began trickling out of their homes, some enjoying the fine weather, yet most still in a half-asleep stupor and began the morning routine of commuting to work. Today was a little different though, the lack of children waiting on the side of the street and large yellow buses could only mean it was the first day of summer vacation. While most of Endsville's younger population was enjoying a few extra hours of sleep for a change, for one boy, this was not the case at all.
As the clock on his bedside table flashed 6:00, Billy's eyes popped wide open. He stupidly rolled himself off his puppy-shaped bed and on to his litter-strewn floor, creating a loud thump.
"Dehehehehehehehehehe!" He laughed as he pulled himself up so he was looking out his window at eye level. "I wonder what Mandy is up to…"
Just one house over from Billy's, a familiar blond girl lay in her bed, her hair pointing every which way. As Mandy lay enjoying her few extra hours of sleep, she didn't hear a slight tap on her bedroom window as a small pebble had mysteriously hit it. Nor did she hear the muffled voice calling her name. However, a few seconds later, a much larger rock crashed into the window, bouncing off it but causing the glass to crack right down the middle. That and the increasing volume of the "mysterious stranger" calling her name outside caused her to stir.
"Uuuggghh, what the…"
Suddenly a large rectangular object came smashing through Mandy's window, broken glass flew everywhere and Mandy shot up, eyes wide open. Her surprised look quickly turned into her usual angry scowl. She put on a pair of pink slippers by the side of her bed to avoid stepping on the broken glass scattered about. She then picked up the object that had broken her window, a brick and walked over to the window to see who dared wake her, much less throw a brick at her house! Unsurprisingly, Billy stood on her front lawn , waving wildly at her and in his underwear no less.
"Oh, it's just you." Mandy said in her usual monotone voice.
"Hiya Mandy! It's a beauuuuuuuutiful day!" exclaimed Billy.
"A beautiful day to be vandalizing private property?" Mandy asked angrily.
Billy looked confused, "Vandawho in the what now?" He exclaimed.
Mandy sighed, "Vandalizing means breaking stuff that isn't yours pinhead. Break my window again and you'll suffer pain you can't even imagine."
Billy shuddered, Mandy was the only person he knew that could speak calmly, yet scare him half to death at the same time. However, as Billy's attention span was as short as humanly possible, he quickly forgot all about it. "Hey Mandy, can we go to the mall today pleeeeeeaaaaaassseee? They have this new store that sells all kinds of cheese!"
"Okay, so you want to spend your first day of summer vacation at some store that sells only various types of cheese?" Mandy asked, although she knew the answer that was coming.
"Yayayayayayayayayayaya!" Billy said excitedly.
Mandy rolled her eyes, "Fine, whatever. The mall doesn't open until ten o'clock anyway, so in the mean time, find Grim. He has some broken glass to clean up. Oh and for the good of humanity, put on some stupid clothes!" With that, she turned and walked away from her window. Billy, looked down at himself, not noticing his pants-less state until Mandy had brought it to his attention. He simply shrugged and walked back to his house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, after Billy and Mandy had gone about their usual morning business and their captive friend the Grim Reaper had spent hours, much to his disdain, cleaning all the glass out of Mandy's room, the three had set off down the street towards the Endsville Crossing Mall. Billy was frolicking happily, he couldn't wait to immerse himself in the hundreds of different types of cheeses this new store was supposedly offering. Mandy had demanded money from her parents so she could buy some new clothes and being that her parents where scared to death of her, they immediately obliged. Being a skeleton, Grim didn't have much need for anything at the mall, but he was happy to come along anyway. After all, if he wasn't with them at the time he was sure Mandy would have him doing tedious chores at her house, besides he enjoyed the fruity smoothie kiosk in the food court.
The new Endsville Crossing Mall had just opened to the public a few weeks ago, it was built to replace the old mall that used to sit right in the same spot after several thousand people had rioted and nearly burned it to the ground back just before Christmas. It was in a way better anyway since the old facility was starting to show it's age and this new place was pretty spectacular. The three levels of modern architecture was home to just about every store imaginable. As they walked into the lowest level, Grim went over to the directory to find Billy's cheese store while Mandy had to run after Billy who, upon seeing the giant water fountain in the middle of the mall's atrium, decided he wanted to take a swim! Mandy caught him just in time, just as he was about to lurch himself forward into the huge fountain. She pulled him back by the neck of his shirt and slapped him across the face.
"You wanna get kicked out already?" She asked him irritably.
Billy looked longingly back at the crystal clear water, "Aw, come on Mandy, look at all it's sparkliness!"
Just then Grim, came back from looking at the directory. "Da place isn't to far from here, it's only up one level. We could just drop Billy dere and go somewhere else." Grim said in his thick Caribbean accent. "I don't know about you Mandy, but I don't tink spending any amount of time in some sort of cheese store with Billy will be very pleasant".
"Uh, ya, to put it mildly." Mandy said.
Soon the threesome stood in front of a massive store known as Chad's Fine Cheeses. Inside there stood aisles upon aisles of cheese of every different variety in the world. Billy's eyes lit up and his jaw dropped, he looked as if someone had just presented him with a billion dollars. He looked to Mandy and Grim with tears in his eyes. "I think we just found the most holy place on earth." he said.
Mandy sighed, "Go ahead Billy, have fun."
With that Billy darted into the store, past several startled customers and dove head first into a giant display of muenster cheese.
"Well dat should keep him occupied for a few hours." Said Grim. Mandy nodded in concurrence. At that point the two headed their separate ways. Grim headed to the food court to his favorite smoothie kiosk, Fruity Juicius, while Mandy walked into a large anchoring department store.
Grim sat in the mostly empty food court enjoying his Guava and Passion Fruit smoothie and especially some quiet time away from those damned kids. The enormous mall may have not been completely quiet, but compared what he had to put up with living in Billy's house, it was paradise. Heck, just yesterday Billy had decided to celebrate his freedom from school by driving his father, Harold's brand new ride on lawnmower through the house, thoroughly destroying much of it, again. It was only now that Grim could find time to relax enough that the echoing noise of various things crashing, a loud lawnmower engine, and Billy's hysterical laughter finally stopped haunting his mind. As he sat and sipped his drink, Grim saw watched an a short, plump, elderly woman of at least her early eighties hobble by. He chuckled lightly.
"Heh heh heh, Gloria Hufferson, see you next Thursday." He said quietly.
Meanwhile, Mandy was in the middle of looking at a rack of casual dresses on sale, she went through them picking out the ones that looked exactly like the others that she wore every single day and then headed to find a cash register to pay. However, as she rounded a corner she came eye to eye with a person she could not have dreaded to see more. There, leaning against a display of vacuum cleaners was Billy's geeky friend Irwin. He was trying to look cool, his crush on Mandy as apparent as ever.
"Hiya Mandy." He said lovingly. "Fancy seeing you around these parts yo."
Irwin truly made Mandy sick. No matter how many times she rejected him, he kept coming. He was like a fly you kept swatting at but wouldn't go away. "Ugh, what do you want Irwin?"
"I got ya a little gift baby." He said. It was then that he produced his "gift" to Mandy from behind his back. His gift was none other than a tiny pare of pink and white, frilly girls underpants!
Never being so humiliated in her life, Mandy's face first turned pink with embarrassment. But soon enough, this was replaced with rage as her face then turned a bright crimson red. She looked as if she was going to end Irwin, right then and there.
Irwin's face quickly dropped. "Aw crap." He said meekly just before Mandy slugged him in the face with all her might, sending him flying clear across the floor back into the women's section where he found Mandy's "gift" and into the dressing room area. Immediately afterwards, the screeching of several women's voices could be heard, followed by Irwin yelling in pain. Mandy walked away, satisfied she had her revenge on Irwin for potentially humiliating her in front of a store full of people. Thankfully though as she walked away she discovered that nobody else had seen any of their brief meeting.
At the same time, down a level and at the opposite end of the mall, Billy was busy eating all the cheese he could find. He had probably already eaten nearly $100 worth of merchandise when two crafty security guards caught on to him. The two burly guards were just about to apprehend Billy when he spotted a rather depressed looking, pimply teenage dude dressed in a giant cheese outfit handing out free samples. Billy squealed with delight and rushed forward to the cheesy dude.
"Welcome to Chad's Fine Cheeses, uh, young dude. Would you like to try a free sample of our sharp cheddar?" Said the teen in a bored, uninterested voice.
"Yayayayayayaya, you betcha dude!" Billy said excitedly as he started devouring piece after piece of cheese on the dude's tray. After a while though, the teen realized Billy was going to eat all his samples! He pulled the tray away out of Billy's reach.
"Like whoa, easy there little dude! I gotta keep some for the other customers and stuff you know."
"I don't care! Gimmeegimmeegimmee!" Billy screamed as he jumped for the tray, knocking the teen over and grabbing it. By now the security guards were right behind Billy.
"Okay kid, I think you've had enough! Your coming with us!" One guard said. Billy spun around to face the guards, his mouth still full of the "sample" cheese.
"You'll never catch me coppers! Ahahahahahaha!" He laughed, spraying partially chewed pieces of cheese all over the guards' faces. He then got up and bolted for the door, the two very irritated guards in hot pursuit. Billy however was laughing like he was having the time of his life because, well, he was!
Meanwhile, just down the corridor, Grim begrudgingly left his "relaxing" food court as Mandy had found him and told him they were leaving, they just had to get Billy and they would be done for the day. Mandy and Grim arrived in front of Chad's Fine Cheeses just in time to see Billy running out with a now empty tray and being chased by the two guards, all the while laughing manically. Then, they both watched in disbelief as Billy then jumped over the railing from the second level down into the huge water fountain on the first, in the process, splashing several people sitting nearby.
By the time Grim and Mandy had made their way down one level to the fountain, followed by the two guards and by now, two Endsville Police officers, Billy had floated on his back over to his two friends. He looked up at them with a calm smile on his face and said quietly, "This was the best day I've ever had."
Mandy simply slapped her hand to her face in frustration and Grim shook his head. The two Endsville cops stepped over to Billy and hoisted him out of the fountain and draped a towel over him.
"Okay kid, I think you've caused enough trouble here today. Time to go home." One of the officers said. As the two officers, one mid aged man and one younger woman led the threesome outside to their patrol car for a ride home, they all noticed a very familiar boy being loaded into the back of a waiting ambulance, groaning pitifully. Noticing it was none other than Irwin, Grim looked down at Mandy, smirking at her knowingly. Mandy simply shrugged as if it was no big deal.
"Hiya Irwin! You missed all the fun!" Billy said to Irwin, as the Paramedics loaded him into the ambulance, but Irwin had one too many concussions to notice Billy. As the ambulance drove away, Billy simply stared at it blankly, shrugged, and leaped into the back of the waiting patrol car.
Little did Billy and Mandy know the "surprise" their parents would have for them when they got home!
A/N: In the next chapter, Billy and Mandy find out they won't be spending their summer in Endsville! Should be up soon, hopefully.
