"What an interesting yet freaky life style you have Mr,Shadow." Irwin said pokeing him,

"Please...don't call me Mr,Shadow...someone already does.." Shadow mumbled.

"Listen hedgehog. Unless your coming to my party I don't want anything to do with you.." Mandy growled.

Shadow had a sly look in his eye. "Oh really.." He said.

Mandy crossed her arms and turned around.

"Are most girls as pretty as you?" Shadow teased.

Mandy gasped inside her and turned red.

"Hey Mandy, your face is turning a funny color...YOU NEED CPR!" He cried. He grabbed Mandy's face and blew air into her mouth. Mandy opened her eyes and smacked Billy across the face.

"Fine..I don't know who you are Shadow. But you are now invited. GRIM." Mandy shouted,

Grim turned to the girl.

"I want you to take Shadow and I to the underworld." She ordered.

"Underworld?" Shadow asked.

"Ohhhh! Mandy and Shadow are going on a date! A evil date!" Billy shreiked.

Mandy felt her hands curle...

"Shut..up.."

Grim held up his sythe as bolts of light blast threw Billy.

"There. Now go." he mumbled.

"We're going threw Billy?" Shadow asked.

Mandy rubbed her eyes and pulled Shadow into the portal.

"We love you!" Billy shouted waving. Grim looked down at the simpleton.

"How do you even pick up a fork..?" Grim asked.

Billy showed a witty smile.

Underworld

The potral stopped in front of the entrance, Mandy and Shadow hopped out.

"Woah...So this is what it looks like.." Shadow gazed.

Mandy looked around the entrance.

"Want something to eat?" She asked.

Shadow turned to her in suprise. "They eat?" He asked.

Mandy nodded and pushed the gate open. Shadow fallowed her inside.

Hecks kitchen

Shadow and Mandy sat down in there flame looking seats with horns on the side.

"So...what do you want?" Mandy asked.

Shadow looked at the menu confused like.

"Are these real food?"

Mandy looked directly at him and called the waiter over.

"Well have the floating crust eyes.." She said. The demon nodded and walked into the kitchen.

"You sure know what your doing.." Shadow said rubbing his eyes,

Mandy held up her cup and took a small sip of her drink.

"Do you have any idea when you'll be going home?" She asked.

Shadow shook his head and looked down into his plate. Looking at his reflection.

"Ehh..I wouldn't worry about it to much, this place isn't that bad once you get used to it."

Shadow lift his head up facing her. Mandy felt sick all of a sudden,

"So Mandy, what do you like to do?" He asked.

Mandy took a big gulp of her soda and focused her attention on the hedgehog. "I like to destroy things. Mainly with Grims sythe, I also like tortchering the Grim Reaper and Billy. I am my parents leader. They obey everything I say. And most people do. Who would dare to turn their back on me.." She said with a dark stare.

Shadow's eyes were wide as his chin layed on his hand.

"Sounds...Demanding." He said.

"Yes it is..But its not all bad. I get WHATEVER I want.." She said taking another sip.

"Who was that black boy?" Shadow asked.

"His names Irwin. He's a nerd.." She mumbled.

Shadow nodded. "I also noticed he has something special for you, You like him?" He asked. Mandy looked into her reflection in her plate.

"No." She answered circling her finger on it.

Shadow raised his eye browse,

"Oh...well good." He siad turning his head.

"How so?" She asked.

Shadow didn't say anything and looked into his cup and took a small sip.

The demon came by and gave them their food. Mandy took hers and threw the plate at Shadow. Shadow scraped the plate off his and licked his lips.

"Nice steak.." He said smiling.

Mandy rolled her eyes. She took a bite of her steak. "Where's Maria?" She asked.

Shadow dropped his fork on his plate and whipped his mouth with a napkin.

"Maria..?" He asked.

Mandy nodded.

"Well...50 years ago she..was assasinated on space Colony ARK.." He whistpered.

Mandy didn't say anything.

"She's buried deep within the past.."

Mandy raised her eye browse.

"Wow..that's real depressing." She said.

Shadow nodded some and took another bite.

"If you had the chance to go back and save her. Would you?"

Shadow looked into his cup. "Yeah I would.." He said. He felt his eyes water some.

Mandy sunk low.
