Thanks for reading guys! I really had a doubt that no one would even look at this thing for a really long time.

Candyratt: Heh, yeah, it just seems natural that she doesn't have a nose.

Streak9: I'm sorry for how short it is! I hope this one is much better.

Another chapter, because the other one was so short and bleh. Please give me some good criticism with your reviews if you can! I am practicing to be an author! If I can ever think of a good story to write one of these days… Anyways, on with the next chapter!

Students and teachers crowded the hallways, chatting amongst each other the way people usually did. Billy and Mandy entered the school together, both making their ways to their own lockers, which were conveniently placed across the hall from each other.

Billy shivered after having removed his coat and hat, turning towards Mandy. "Brr… Oh Mandy, it's so cold in here!" His arms wrapped around the girl, who had just finished taking off her layers until only her white and blue school uniform was on.

"Billy," Mandy half-growled, her feet being lifted off the ground as the oaf embraced her for warmth. She wrenched out of his grasp, fixing her slightly-frizzy blond hair into two ends pointing at each other, much like horns.

Billy pouted, hugging himself now while Mandy finished with her locker and closed it. His puffy lips quickly morphed into a smile as a familiar face walked into his view. "Junior!" He squealed, reaching up high with his hand, waving to his cousin from the center of the Earth. Mandy ignored Billy as well as his supernatural family member.

"Hello Billy; Mandy." He turned to each as he said their name, Junior's expression and his voice bland as always.

Mandy chose to spare Junior a look for a mere second before pivoting and walking off to class. Billy and Junior exchanged glances, and then silently followed the girl.

Another day at school, another day of boredom.

Of course, in Endsville, such a thing is not possible with the Grim Reaper living in the neighborhood.

The skeleton was found in one of his 'best friend's' bedrooms, a pitch black cloak draped over his old bones. He stood angrily over a small, pink cat, his finger thrust towards the brainless feline.

"How many times do I have to tell you; MY LEGS ARE NOT SCRATCHING POSTS!" The Grim Reaper's voice had a Jamaican accent, his voice loud enough to shake the whole house.

"Mew?" Was the only answer the cat was able to give, his small eyes gazing up at the skeleton innocently.

Sighing as if he had gone through this many times, Grim picked the cat up and sat on the bed with a puppy-dog head at one end. He patted the pink cat, frowning. "Oh Milkshakes, I only wish I could do something to make your death come sooner… Hmm?" Catching something in the corner of his eye, Grim looked over the edge of the bed. The corner of a book stuck out from underneath it, and out of curiosity, Grim picked it up.

"Uh-oh, Billy left his school book at home…" Grim trailed off, staring at the book with a look of contemplation. Milkshakes hopped off of Grim's lap after not receiving any attention for half a minute. Grim shrugged. "Well, I've got nuttin' better to do than to get it to him. My list is relatively short today."

The Grim Reaper stood up from the bed, and held out his vacant hand, in which a very powerful scythe promptly appeared from a cloud of smoke. With no effort at all, he spun the scythe, still in one hand, and struck the empty air, opening a space-bending portal. Withdrawing his tool, Grim crept through the portal, closing it after him.

Meanwhile, at Billy and Mandy's school…

Mandy sat at the front of the classroom, where she didn't have to watch Billy goof off all day and could pay attention to the teacher. Unfortunately, sitting right next to Junior wasn't quite at bad as Billy but still unessential. However, usually he would just let her be unless he bothered her with a question; but today was different.

The quiet, skeptical girl stared ahead at the teacher, but wasn't paying any attention to her at all. Her mind was on the boy sitting next to her, the boy who was eyeing her with consideration, one eyebrow raised. He appeared deep in thought, and didn't even realize Mandy's hands slowly rolling a torn piece of paper up in a ball.

"Hey!" Junior was caught off guard, the paper ball hitting him square in the nose. Mandy didn't even turn to look at him and continued watching the teacher.

Junior scowled at Mandy, rubbing his nose subconsciously. To Mandy's surprise, a devilish smile stretched across his face almost immediately afterwards. She made herself up to be ignoring him, but was actually doing quite the opposite.

I have a perfect plan for you, Mandy… The words echoed in Junior's mind as he watched the girl, a smug expression on his face.

Okay, so it's still short, but at least it's longer than the last! And it can leave you all contemplating about quite a few things, right? Oh, yeah, the Billy hugging Mandy thing… I just think that those two would end up together eventually, and couldn't help putting some slightly lovey stuff in there. Hehe.
