The Grim Adventures of Dipper and Mable
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
...III...
Dipper groaned as he continued to pack for their 'big trip' in a couple days...ALONE. "Dang it Mable, I'm not carrying your stuff for you! Get down here and help me!"
He goes up and sees Mable taking care of her cat Sweetums...She was NOT looking well.
"Don't worry Sweetums! Mom and Dad said your just having a bit of a cold, when I come back at the end of Summer you'll be right as rain!"
Dipper groaned, it was obvious that their parents had just said that to make Mable feel better...but it was obvious he was at the end of her rope. And while Dipper wouldn't miss her hacking furballs at him...Mable didn't deserve to go through this...
Dipper scratched the back of his head uncomfortable, "Uh...listen Mable-
ZAP!
Both twins screamed as a dark vortex of PURE EVIL energy flowed from the floorboards.
"I have come for Sweetums!" Shouts a ghastly skeleton in a black cloak and menacing scythe!
Dipper stays in front of Mable protectively... "No way...your the GRIM REAPER- he then smiles -THAT'S AWESOME!" The he realizes why he's here. "Wait, no! This is bad!"
Grim briefly looks baffled at this abrupt change of personality...then shrugs it off and gets back to work.
"It's Mrs. Sweetums time to go..."
"Go? Go where?" Asked Mable in fright.
Grim rolls his eyes, "the North pole..." He responds dryly. "The underworld you ninny! I'm the Grim Reaper, she's about to die and I'm here to collect her soul!" He remarks irritably.
"What! No! She's just a little sick! Tell him Dipper!" She sobbed.
Dipper hung his head in shame... "I'm sorry Mable..."
Mable felt her heart shatter, "NO! Dipper, your the expert on all this kooky, weird stuff, isn't there something you can do!?"
Dipper balked under her sobbing puppy eyes, "Well..." He turns to Grim, "In many myths...your willing to play games-
"For people's souls? Oh, yes. That's absolutely true!" Said Grim happily, but then his grin turned nasty. "But I've NEVER lost."
Dipper groaned, but Mable's sobbing made him resolute. "Okay, well play for his soul. We win, Sweetums lives."
"Ha! Well, if you win- which you won't -I'll be your best friend forever."
Dipper balked, "Wait, what? That's a weirdly random-
"DEAL!" Shouts Mable suddenly.
Grim just laugh as he uses his scythe to slice a portal to limbo.
"I challenge you to limbo, first person to knock the bar loses!" Shouts Grim as he sets up the bar and eagerly limbos under it.
"Ha! Your turn!" Mocks Grim. Dipper just looks at it confused for a moment...then calmly just walks under it as Grim had set the bar above his head...
Grim blanched, "Oh, right. Children." He quickly grabs the bar. "Right, just need to make some adjustments..." He places the bar lower.
He then easily limbos again...followed by Mable eagerly crawling under it.
"Bah! Well, let's see you handle this!" Shouts Grim as he lowers the bar to it's lowest setting, almost kissing the ground practically!
Mable squints and lies flat on the ground for a moment...before getting back up while sweetums climbs onto one of the poles holding up the bar. Sighing in defeat...while dipper looks thoughtful for a moment...
"Dang it! I can't go that low!"
"Ah, but I can!" Says Grim smugly as he dose just that. He stops mid-way to gloat once more. "Any last words before you lose?"
"Yes...LIVERWORST!" Shouts Dipper, with the predictable effect of making sweetums vomit a hairball right on Grim's face.
Grim let's out a girlish shriek of disgust as he abruptly stands up to wipe the disgusting wad off his face-
clack!
-Which knocked the bar down.
"YES! WE WIN! SWEETUMS IS SAFE!" Shouts Mable excited.
"What?! NO! That's not fair!" Snaps Grim.
"Uh, sorry man. But we won...but we only wanted the Cat. Let's just forget that 'best friend forever' bit and you can go on your way." Said a nervous Dipper as he desperately tried to keep the GRIM REAPER from getting too upset.
Grim sighed, "Well, that's nice of you to offer. But I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. Bets with me are legally binding in ways your puny mortal mind can't possibly comprehend."
Dipper looked at him confused. "Wait, then why did you-
"I was on a roll! A real lucky streak! Had a dozen other deals won before I showed up here! I was just saying random shit because I was feeling cocky!" Interrupted an aggravated Grim.
The twins loked at him mournfully, "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But don't worry Mr. Reaper, we promise to make sure your stay with us is good." Said Mable happily and Dipper nods along.
Grim sees their sincerity and despite the situation, finds himself feeling a bit better.
"Well...that's something I suppose...and I guess there are WORSE fates." For some reason a image of a red-haired simpleton and blonde sociopath popped in his head long enough to make him shudder.
But he shakes that off as he and the twins head back to the Pine's home. "Hmmmm...perhaps this won't be so bad after all!" Says Grim with a smile as Mable and Dipper shout their agreement.
Suddenly the front door opens. "Sorry were late kids! Traffic was a nightmare...
Mr. and Mrs. Pines trail off at the sight of Grim...
CRASH!
They both have simultaneous heart attacks and drop down dead in fright...
The two twins gape in horror...and slowly turn to an equally stunned Grim...
"Whoa, there! You all see it! Me hands and scythe didn't touch them! This is not on me! This is not my fault! Heart attacks are a free ticket to the underworld without my help! It was budget cuts, outsourcing! Talk to the bean counters in finance!" He pleaded.
And thus started a summer the Pines twins wouldn't soon forget...
