Billy sat at his desk in his room, typing misc things, and waiting to hear from either Mandy, or Erwin. His hopes were very much risen when the doorbell rang.

He ran from his room, and into the hall, down the stairs and straight to the door. "Hello?" He said opening it.

"Hi, Billy." Erwin said, upon entrance. Erwin had not changed so very much from when they were children. He still wore glasses, and dressed pretty much the same, but he had done something new with his hair this time... A mowhawk.

"Erwin... What did you do to your head?!" Billy asked, circling him as if to see this new look from every angle.

"I got stylin'!" Erwin replied, running his hand over his 'hair'.

Billy nearly fell over laughing. Erwin looked so stupid... He had to do something. No wonder he hadn't seen him in a couple of days!

"Who said it was 'stylin'?" Billy asked, putting a hand on Erwin's back for support, more for himself than Erwin.

"Gary Delaney from down the street..."

"Well, I'd hate to be the one to tell you, but... I think you need to try a different hair-do..."

Mandy stared at her wall, a grim smile playing across her lips. Grim was back, and as far as she knew, things were back to normal. For how long, she didn't know, but she did know one thing. She was not about to dismis her minion so easily this time. She watched him from a room in her window, as Saliva started to bury him in the yard. The sight brought back memories. Memories of long ago when this happened every day, and she could take him for granted...

Those days would soon be back. But he was there by choice... How could she keep him there if he could go as soon as he pleased? She had to find a way...

A/N: Sorry it's taken me so long to update. This is my hobby, and I don't have much free time to kill. I thank my lovely reviewers again, and here are the plushies I promised -passes them out-. I'm not quite sure where this is going, but tonight's brainstorm should give me a few ideas. Next chapter will be longer, as my resolution!
