Billy, wearing a dress-shirt and his best jeans, rang Mandy's doorbell. Mandy, wearing a fancy pink dress with black lace trim, opened the door.
"Gosh Mandy, you look beautiful." Billy stated, "And I'm not just saying that because we're on a date, I really mean it."
"Thanks." Mandy replied, she wasn't used to receiving such compliments. "You look nice."
"I was gonna wear a tux, but you remember the episode, 'Billy Idiot'."
"Yes." Mandy remembered every episode. Seeing Billy run around his house and playing in mud, while wearing a tux and shouting, 'Tuxedo Man!' may have been hilarious to some, but it was rather annoying. If it hadn't been for Grim fixing everything at the last moment, he and his family would've missed the wedding.
"So, where we going?" Billy asked.
"Bikini Bottom." Mandy answered.
"Isn't that underwater and radioactive?" Billy asked.
"Radioactive?" Irwin thought to himself in his hiding place.
"Yes." Mandy replied, "But we own the Grim Reaper, remember?"
"Oh yeah." Billy replied, "Where is he?"
"Right here." Grim replied appearing behind Mandy. "As much as I would love to have you both drown and get mutated in another dimension, I have 'responsibilities'."
"Shut up and do your thing." Mandy snapped.
Grim grumbled and reached into his robe. He pulled out two shell necklaces and two belts that had the Radioactive symbol on them. He handed each of them a necklace and a belt. "Put these on, the necklaces will make you able to breath underwater and the belts will protect you from the radiation."
"You swear?" Mandy asked.
"Yes." Grim answered, "Just because I don't have internal organs, doesn't mean I don't have morals."
While they were talking, Irwin grabbed his walkie talkie. "Yo Mindy?"
"Yes, Dwee-Irwin?" Mindy's voice answered.
"We have a problem, yo."
"Problem?"
"They're going to Bikini Bottom!"
"So?"
"So, I can't breathe underwater, yo. And I don't want to be affected by the radiation."
"Remember your Underfist belt?"
"Yeah yo, but I can't really use it while I'm a bat, yo."
"That's your problem, Loser!" Mindy yelled back. Then she sighed and continued, "Listen, there should be a magical shell in your pouch."
"What about the radiation, yo?"
"Hold the walkie-talkie away from your face for a moment."
"Ok." Irwin did as she said. Then, Mindy's arm came from the walkie-talkie. "What-the-what?"
Mindy wiggled her fingers, making a green sparkling light come from them and surround Irwin. Mindy soon retreated her arm.
"There." Mindy said through the walkie talkie, "You now have 72 hours of protection from any radiation. Now GO! Over and out."
The walkie-talkie turned off. Irwin placed the shell over his face, took a deep breath and turned into a bat. Then he quickly followed Billy and Mandy as they entered the vortex Grim created that led to Bikini Bottom.
"So, where are we going? The Krusty Krab?" Billy asked.
"Yes." Mandy answered.
"Doesn't sound very romantic." Billy replied.
"It's our first date." Mandy stated. "If you want we can do take out and go somewhere."
"Like the park?"
"Sure."
As they neared the restaurant, they heard a voice say to them, "Hey you two, wanna eat at the Chum Bucket?"
"Who said that?" Mandy asked.
"Down here." The voice answered. Billy and Mandy looked down and saw a tiny green cyclops.
"Hello." Billy greeted.
"We're not interested." Mandy stated.
"You sure?" The cyclops asked, "The Chum Bucket is the one and only home of the Chum Burger!" He pulled out a chum burger from behind his back.
"I said we're not interested." Mandy stated again, this time her stare intensifying. The little creature was getting nervous.
"What's Chum?" Billy asked.
"Chum is-" The cyclops started.
"A close friend or fish bait that contains the guts, bone and blood of other fish." Mandy interrupted.
"Gross." Billy said, "But worth a try!"
"What?" The cyclops replied, totally confused. "You must be mistaken, that's just libel Old Man Krabs made Spongebob make to sell newspapers. There's no fish in my food."
"Then it's not chum." Mandy deadpanned, "That's the definition, look it up." Then she took Billy's hand, "Come." Then she lead him to the Krusty Krab.
"Aww, I wanted to try some chum." Billy complained.
"You can have some later." Mandy told him, "I want a burger that doesn't contain bones."
"Oh, ok." Billy replied, "But you promise, right?"
"Right." Mandy answered. Then they got in line. When they reached the front, they saw that the cashier was a weird grumpy cephalopod with a name-tag that read, "Squidward."
"Hello, may I take your order?" Squidward monotoned.
"Yeah, we'll take two Krabby Patties and two small drinks to go." Mandy ordered.
"Would you like a anything else?" Squiward asked.
"No." Mandy answered.
"Hey mister." Billy asked.
"Yes." Squidward asked, clearly annoyed.
"Why do you sound like you'd rather be anywhere else and that you hate everything about yourself and your surroundings?" Billy asked.
"Because I do." Squidward answered, "Now, is that all?"
Mandy grabbed Billy's mouth and closed it shut before he could say anything else. "Yes."
"That'll be $4." Squidward answered.
"Ok." Mandy answered, then she grabbed $2 from her wallet, and $2 from Billy's. She then handed the money to the squid.
Squidward put the money in the cash register and turned around to the order window, waving a piece of paper, "Spongebob, we've got an order."
"Ok." Came a cheerful high-pitched voice. Soon, the order was on the counter, "Here you go!"
"Thanks." Then the squid handed the bag and two empty cups to the couple. "Have a nice day and bother to come again."
"We'll think about it." Mandy said as she grabbed the food.
"Have a nice day!" Billy said. Then they went to the soda fountain to fill their cups.
