Grim shook his head slowly, and looked Mandy in the eye. It suddenly hit him full force exactly what that meant. So maybe he missed the kids, but life in Mandy's service had been hell! Maybe he wanted to be there... For now. But this was not what he had in mind!
"But... It's not fair!" He said, falling back into a whiny tone he hadn't used in years. He had not just been tricked again! And so easily... He shuddered inwardly, loathing himself.
"We should tend to Erwin now." Mandy said, simply. Grim glared at her and followed slowly. He hated the world. He hated her, he hated himself, he hated Billy, and most of all, he hated the number 14!

Down in the kitchen, Billy and Erwin were discussing, and flipping through an anime magazine to find a style for Erwin's hair. Erwin jumped, and pointed excitedly to a picture of Vash from Trigun.
"Ooh! Billy, I want that one!" He said. Billy giggled excitedly, and nodded in argreement.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the stairs, and Grim entered the room. Shortly after, Mandy made her own entrance.
"After a long discussion, I have persuaded our friend Grim back into my service. Please, continue." She stated. Billy grinned.
"Grim's back? Grim's back, Grim's back, Grim's back!!!" He chanted, laughing out just like old times. Erwin cleared his throat.
"And what about my hair?" He asked. Grim would have rolled his eyes if he had them, but instead, all he could do was fold his arms.
"What style?" He asked, exasperated. Erwin pointed to the magazine.
"Fine." He moved his hand to work his magic, but all that came was a sputtering noise. It hadn't worked. "I guess even death can't help hair that bad..."
They sat there in silence, and finally, Billy just cracked up laughing.
