"Don't you think there's something weird about that Shadow girl..?" Mandy asked.

Billy did a quick shrug. "Her name does sound familiar."

A light or swarming colors filled the room. A figure walks out of the light. As the Grim Reaper.

"Grim!" Billy cried. He ran up wo the boney figure and hugged him untell gunk came out of his eyes.

"Get of me boy!" Grim yelled and threw him to the ground.

"Grim, what're you doing here? I though you were set free from us two years ago."

"I was, But I decided to come stop by and see how your living without me." Grim lied. He had his eyes on the girl in front of him. A girl with pale skin and black dress. With the fish nets hanging low. And her hair flowing around,

"Mandy?" He asked.

Her eyes widened.

"Is that you girl?" Grim asked again. Walking up to her closer. Billy watched the two gaze apon each other. Grim looked directly into Mandys eyes and examined her closely.

"What happened to you..? You look..."

Mandy had a hopeful look grow across her face.

"Alot better then you used to thats for sure." Grim completed. Mandy made an angry stare, Grim could see her fists curling up. Mandy held up her fists and punched his boney head off his shoulders.

"Woo!" Billy shouted.

Grim got up and placed his head back on his shoulders. "I see you haven't changed a bit you idiot.." Grim growled.

Billy giggled.

"So what're you guys doing?" He asked.

"We just got back from High school.." She answered.

"High school? Wasn't that long ago you both were in grade school." He said rubbing his forhead.

"Yeah well im beginning to miss those days.."

"So Mandy. Are you dating?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Because why."

"Because love is for the weak minded." She answered.

"Oh yeah...I forgot.." Grim mumbled.

"Well, I dunno about you weirdos, but I got home work. Cya." Mandy said closeing her door.

"Hey Billy, how does Mandy let you stay here?" He asked.

Billy shrugged.

"Did you ever tell Mandy your little secret?"

"What secret?" Billy asked.

"Oh don't play dumb boy. You know. How you 'fancy' her." Grim answered.

Billy didn't answer. He decided to skip the subject. "Do you know anyone named Shadow?" He asked.

Grim pressed his finger against his lips.

"Hmm...Sounds familiar...Wait. Do you remember when you were 10 you met this um...Cat or something. His name was Shadow." Grim pointed out.

Billy did his best to remember back that far, And surprise. He sighed and shook his head.

"Darn it boy..It wasn't that long ago.." Grim groaned. "Why do you ask anyway?"

"There was this girl who had bright red eyes. And her name was Shadow." Billy answered.

"Hmm...Do you remember how he got home?"

"Nope."

Grim put alot of thought into it. Untell he snapped his fingers. "Wait. I remember, You guys woke up one morning and he was just...gone." Grim said.

Billy nodded. "You don't remember do you?" Grim asked. Billy shook his head.

Grim sighed.

"Well...Tomorrow im gonna talk to her again and get some answers."

"Could you guys keep it down?" Mandy asked. She slammed her door shut.

Grim looked to Billy and shrugged.

Next day

Billy walked along side Irwin and Mandy with his eyes looking around the school yard.

"What're you looking for yo?" Irwin asked.

"Just someone." Billy answered.

Mandy had her eyes on Legolas as he walked up to the group.

"Hey Mandy." He greeted.

Mandy had that stomach aching in her again. She felt as if her stomach was tied in a knot she could never untangle.

"Hey Le-Legolas." She stammered. Irwin crossed his arms and gave him an angry glare. Billy didn't pay much attention as his mind was on something else. He spotted his target on the otherside of the school again.

"There!" Billy screamed. Mandy and Irwin looked at him confused and watched him run on the otherside of the school. The girl looked at Billy as he ran up to her. She was about to run when he grabbed her by the arm.
"Ok Shadow! I wanna know more about you! So tell me! Where are ya from?" He shouted. Shadow tried pulling herself out of Billys clutch but he was to strong.

She looked up at him sad.
