Chapter 2: Messing with Inventions
While Jimmy was trying to understand Billy's complete idiocy, Grim was busy using Goddard to do most of his choirs while Mandy was away at school. As Grim began to relax on the sofa while watching television, he noticed a box of some sort of strange antics on the floor that belonged to Jimmy Neutron. As he got up from the sofa, he walked over to the box and pulled out what looked like a strange disk with stripes shaped in a circle.
"Just what the heck is this do-hickey?" asked Grim to himself as Goddard came toward him with a visual answer as that sort of device was known as the Hypno Disk.
"You mean I can use this and hypnosis anyone I want?" asked Grim to Goddard as he barked back at him with a positive tone, then Grim began to laugh, "Time to have someone other than a robot like you do my choirs. No offense though, you do a pretty good job of the choirs Mandy assigns me. But who should I target?"
Goddard barks as Irwin happens to walk right by the house to see if Mandy is home.
"The perfect target" laughed Grim as he picked up the Hypno Disk and walked toward Irwin, "say Irwin, how about you want to do a few things for Mandy?"
"Oh, that would ever be such a grand thing to do" replied Irwin.
"Well, how about starting right about now in doing mine choirs!" laughed Grim as he took out the Hypno Disk and used it on Irwin.
"I'll obey your orders" replied Irwin in a hypnotic state.
"Now go scrub those toilets" said Grim, "I don't think even Goddard here wanted to touch it."
"Yes" said Irwin as Goddard handed him some toilet cleaning tools in a hypnotic state, "for Mandy I will scrub the toilets."
"And when you're through with that" said Grim, "why not take out the trash, Billy threw something very foul and I doubt even the robot dog even dared to touch it. Now let's see what other sort of do-hickey things does this master of yours has invented."
As Grim dug through the box filled with Jimmy's inventions, he came across of a strange controller that looked very similar to a remote control for the television.
"This thing has already been invented" said Grim as he showed to Goddard, "I thought your master was a genius."
Goddard responded by showing another visual image of the invention of how it can send people back into time, but also freeze time, and make things big and small.
"Hmm, a universal remote" said Grim as he was studying the visual, "an interesting and impressive invention I might say even for someone like me as the Grim Reaper. Now who should I give this device to?"
"High Grim!" shouted a voice familiar to him, "What's that you got there?"
As Grim turned around, he noticed it was Billy's "son" Jeff the Spider coming to visit his "father".
"Oh, I there Jeff, this is just one of the many inventions I have been looking over from that boy genius who played with life and death in Egypt and now he's attempting to get Billy's grades up to at least a C" replied Grim.
"Wow, a robot dog" said Jeff as he notice Goddard, "I thought they had these things in Japan when I traveled there with my spider friends. Can I keep him?"
"Uh, that's Goddard, Billy's tutor's robotic dog" said Grim then he hands Jeff the universal remote, "but you can probably enlarge some of your spider friends for Billy to see."
"Wow, thanks a bunch Grim" said Jeff as he left the scene with the universal remote.
Goddard barked with quite urgency toward Grim as he was misusing his master's inventions.
"That was just Jeff" said Grim, "I only showed him how to enlarge his spider friends so that he can use them to scare the living daylights out of Billy and freeze that frame so that I can take a picture of that."
Goddard barked again about Grim using the Hypno Disk on Irwin.
"But Irwin loves doing things for Mandy, willingly or unwillingly" replied Grim.
The robotic dog barked again, but this time with an added growl at Grim.
"Okay, okay" said Grim as he placed the Hypno Disk back in the box with Jimmy's other inventions, "I won't mess around with Jimmy's inventions anymore, got it."
As Grim and Goddard left the scene to do more choirs, Harold, Billy's father came into the scene who wanted to borrow the lawnmower from Mandy's parents.
"Hello, I came here to borrow the lawnmower" said Harold as he entered the scene, then he noticed the box of Jimmy's inventions just lying on the floor, "just what the heck are these do-hickey things." Then he picked up the box of Jimmy's inventions and began to leave the scene, "oh well, I'm probably sure I can think of something to do with these things."
Meanwhile as Harold was busy preparing to use Jimmy's inventions, Grim and Goddard were quite unaware of the situation, along with also Jimmy who was busy trying to tutor Billy to get his grades up from being better than an F and a D.
"Billy, do you even know how to do even the most basic form of math?" asked Jimmy who was having quite some trouble with Billy.
"Just what the heck is math?" asked Billy.
"This is going to take quite some time" sighed Jimmy, "okay, let's at least move onto history. Can you at least tell me who was America's first President?"
"Hmm, let me think, let me think, no it can't be the guy on the cereal box, it can't be that actor from Austria" replied Billy as he tried as best, "oh I know, it was my dead fish Little Porkchop!"
"I can't take this anymore!" cried Jimmy as he slammed the ruler right on Billy's desk breaking it, "You make my friend Sheen back at Retroville look smarter!"
"Please Mr. Boy with crazy hair-style" said Billy, "I can change, just give me a shot."
"Hmm, I think one of my inventions could help you to make you at least an average intellectual-like minded person" said Jimmy, "I know, if I reverse my invention the Brain Drain into making you at least being able to get an average C, my stay here will be over and my contract with the Reaper will be null and void."
"Say, how come you never thought about that before?" asked Billy then he began to make his usual stupid laugh, "Guess you're not a major genius after all."
"Come on, just follow me back to Mandy's house" replied Jimmy, "Hopefully your friend Grim hasn't done anything with any of my inventions, or I'll make sure the court will reverse the contract onto him."
