The first step was to make Billy & Mandy's date the opposite of what Mandy wanted. Which meant turning it from little-known to widely known.
That was Irwin's exact motive when he walked into the Underfist living room. "Hey everyone."
"Where were you?" Hoss asked.
"I was, uh, out." Irwin replied, he had been gone for most of the day. "I've got some news about Mandy."
"Did she finally agree to go out with you?" Skarr asked sarcastically.
"Not with me." Irwin stated.
"Then who?" Jeff asked.
"Billy!" Irwin exclaimed.
"Billy?" everyone except Viola & Dysa exclaimed in shock.
"Yes." Irwin replied, "But Mandy wants to keep it secret."
"Then why are you telling us?" Fred asked. "Everyone knows that telling secrets is a big no-no."
"Why don't you guess?" Irwin replied, he was sure Mindy was smiling somewhere.
"I have an idea." Skarr stated, "You want everyone to know, so Mandy will get mad at Billy, and therefore still be, 'on the market'."
Irwin looked at him in surprise. "How did you..."
"When Grim gave Mindy her powers back," Skarr interrupted, "that bag of bones made me connected somehow with that little brat."
"What do you mean, 'connected'?"
"I mean," Skarr answered, "I know when that little brat is planning something."
"How?"
"It's hard to explain." Skarr answered, then he looked Irwin dead in the eye, "Just don't do anything trouble-some."
Irwin slowly backed away. "O-k. I, uh, have to be somewhere."
"Where?" Hoss asked suspiciously.
"No je parle anglais." Irwin spat out, then he turned into a bat and flew away. A satisfyed smile crept onto the face of Dysomia, Goddess of Lawlessness.
Irwin landed near Mindy's house, clinging tightly onto a branch. "That was a narrow escape." he thought aloud. "Who writes this stuff yo?"
"Panicked, dweeb?" Mindy's voice came from an open window.
"Will you please stop calling me 'dweeb', yo?" Irwin replied.
"What else am I supposed to call you, Nerd?"
"My name, Irwin."
"I'll call you whatever I feel like, Mummy-bat." Mindy retorted. Irwin scowled. "So, was the pressure too much for you?"
"Not at first." Irwin flew closer. "Do you know that you and Scar have some kind of psychic link?"
"Now I do." Mindy growled. "Why wasn't I told before?!"
"I don't know." Irwin replied. "I didn't write this story, yo."
"Well, you undead heathen, what is this 'psychic link?'"
"Scar just said he knows when you're 'up to something'."
"Ooo, NOTHING GOES MY WAY!" Mindy shouted, "I can't even get to the top again without something getting in the way!"
Irwin slowly backed away a few feet, then he caususly said, "Uh, Mindy?"
"What?" The anger showed in her light green infused peach skinned body.
"Aside from control over Death, why do you care?"
Mindy's face became creepy as she answered, "REVENGE."
"Revenge?"
"Not 'revenge'. REVENGE."
"Ok, why do you want, REVENGE?"
"Two reasons. One: the network cancelled us, just because of a contract. Two: Mandy rejecting my friendship."
"You're still upset about Mandy?" Irwin asked in disbelief, "That was years ago, yo!"
"Well, I'm still upset!"
"Aren't you two frenemys now, yo?"
"Frenemy, schemeny. The point is, SHE REFUSED MY COMPLETE FRIENDSHIP!" The witch's hair turned to flames as her anger grew. Once she calmed down a little, she continued, "If I take away something important to her, even if it's only partly, I'll still feel satisfied."
"Yeah, for like a week tops, yo."
Mindy grapped Irwin by the shirt. "We'll see about that." Irwin became very scared. "Now, you are going to spy on Billy and Mandy, find out where their date is and use your nerd-powers to broadcast it all over the internet."
Irwin hesitated. He knew this was wrong, but the thought of Mandy being his made everything seem right. "You're wish is my command, yo." As soon as Mindy released the mummy-vampire, he flew away. Determined to make Mandy his.
