Mandy was sitting at home, minding her own business, when her phone rang. She sighed, reluctantly picked it up, and answered, "Who is it?"
On the other end was the enthusiastic ramblings of Billy. "Heymandyiwasjustcallingtotellyouthatiateabakersdozenofsuperatomiccremepuffs," Billy said saying the words in a continuous order.
"First of all," Mandy said, "Do you know how much there is in a baker's dozen?"
"Bymycount48nowait48000," Billy said.
"And you want me and Grim to come over there and calm you down, right?" she asked.
"Thatsbasicallythewholeideayeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah!"
"Great; we'll be there whenever," she finished and hung up the phone. She turned to Grim and said. "It's Billy again.
"What did he do dis time?" Grim asked.
"He ate a baker's dozen of Super Atomic Crème Puffs, again."
"Does he know how much is in a baker's dozen?"
"By his count: 48000."
"Guess we better get him back to his usual self."
"By 'we' you mean 'you' right?"
Grim scowled at this remark and muttered, as they left for Billy's place, "I always have to do these tings. Why can't these children handle themselves?"
They got to Billy's place and knocked on the door; there was no answer. Mandy called out, "Billy, it's us; let us in."
Just then the door burst open and Billy flew out of his house and throughout the neighborhood. There was a few seconds of silence until Grim asked, "That was Billy wasn't it?"
"Yep," Mandy replied, "and he's going to terrorize the neighborhood."
"Guess we better get him back," Grim said as they went off to catch Billy.
Billy wasn't hard to loose; you could see the sugar-induced destruction wherever he went. There was broken glass everywhere and a bunch of people blown down by Billy's sonic booms.
"I wonder where Billy went to," Grim sarcastically asked as he viewed Billy's trail of destruction.
"I guess we'll have to trap him," Mandy said, "and the only way to do that is with pie."
"I'll call the bakery," Grim said as they went off to set their trap for Billy.
Mandy had the net ready while Grim brought the pie. "Are you sure it'll work?" Grim asked.
"It'll work," Mandy answered. "If I know Billy, he can't resist the smell of freshly baked pie."
And she was right; as Billy neared the trap, he caught a whiff of the scent of the pie and said, "Mmmmmm; pie."
He ran over to the pie and started eating it. "Now!" Mandy shouted as she and Grim dropped the net on Billy. The net went over Billy and entrapped him in it, but he didn't seem to notice.
"So, what do we do now?" Grim asked.
"We take him home and calm him down," she said as she picked up the net with Billy in it and dragged it off as they went to Billy's house.
Billy finished his pie and was enjoying the ride saying, "Weeee. This is fun; I don't wanna get off this ride."
"Pathetic," Mandy said as she took the sack inside with Grim. Before she closed the door, Billy asked, "Do you have anymore pie?"
