I was reminded of a character named Her, and I only have one thing to say.

Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap-crap-crap-crap-crap!

Yeah, I forgot all about her. Or should I say I forgot all about Her? … Yes, cheesy, I know. I'm from Wisconsin--we're the cheesiest state in the union.

So anyways, I added her in it, but I'm going with Skyler's idea of Her eventually turning good 'cause otherwise the addition won't make much sense. And read his Rose's Grim Tales story; the plot is really good.

Mandy, and Grim are owned by Maxwell Atoms. Minnie, Junior, and Her are owned by Bleedman. Scott and Penelope are owned by that guy from Wisconsin… what was his name again? Vlad? No… that's not it… Brett? No… Mr. Kennedy? Oh God no… uh... I'll get back to you on that.

Billy looked around. That sad feeling was settling in his heart again. He leaned towards Grim. "Look at all this!" he whispered. "God, she must be happy! And what have I ever done for her?"

"Relax, Billy," Grim whispered back. "Dis is not your dimension, remember? What happened in our time stays in our time. Der's not'ing you can do about it."

"But… Mandy deserves more than I give her, Grim…" Billy sighed. "It looks like yous can give her more than me can…"

Grim shook his head. "Stop beating yourself up, Bill. She loves you. I'd bet my death on it."

They reached the castle. Grim Junior answered the door. "Hey, Minnie!" He noticed the other girl. "Who are you?"

"Ooh! Neat! Is that the eye you were talking about?" Penelope babbled without thinking.

Minnie rolled her eye. "Thou art brainless, no?"

Scott couldn't help but giggle. Luckily, the offspring of Grim didn't hear him.

The group entered the manor. Scott, Billy, and Grim were astonished by the dark, gothic appearance, even though it was no different than what the outdoors looked like.

Scott noticed a long shadow on the ground leading to a nearby hallway. It belonged to what looked like a crablike girl, who was watching the three visible kids. Suddenly, Scott heard something that seemed to come from her, even though her lips weren't moving. He wasn't exactly sure, but he thought she said "Wow…that's a big nose…" Then, she ran off down the hallway.

Scott didn't know why the girl left until he saw another shadow, which made him assume that she went off to get someone else.

A blonde woman was walking through the hallway. She had been told by Her that there was a strange, big-nosed visitor that entered the manor with Minnie and Junior.

She entered the main hall, where Minnie, Junior, Penelope, and the still invisible three were. "Junior? Who was at the…huh?" She stopped, her red eyes glaring at Penelope. "Who is your new…friend?" the blonde asked.

"Uh…'tis my new acquaintance, Penelope," Minnie replied.

Mandy (wasn't it obvious?) studied the girl from her red hair to her white boots. "You…look familiar…like someone I used to know." She paused for a moment. "Are you…Billy's daughter?"

Penelope giggled. "Yep!"

"I didn't even know he married."

The big-nosed girl giggled and quietly whispered to Scott: "They think I'm Billy's daughter! Hee hee hee!"

Scott looked at her with half-closed eyes. "You…are Billy's daughter," he mumbled.

"Oh…oh yeah…"

"Why doth thou talk to thineself?" Minnie asked, confused yet again.

Penelope blushed. "I dunno. Why doth thou talk like this?"

Minnie rolled her eye again. "Touché."

"So…why are you here?" Mandy asked. "How's William doing?"

"Who?" Penelope asked. She had never heard anyone refer to her dad as "William".

"Billy."

"Oh. He's fine, Mo--Mandy. I came here to see you and Grim. Dad wants to know how you're doing, too."

"Why didn't he come himself?"

"He's having…uh…" Penelope tried to think of what Grim called it earlier. "…a nervous breakdown?"

Technically, this was true. Billy, for once in his life, was speechless. He couldn't take his eyes off Mandy. And not because she was hot; because she was beautiful. She was powerful. Grim gave her everything she wanted. Everything Billy wanted her to have. Because to him, she deserved everything.

"I thought you said he was fine," Mandy said.

"Well…he's not dying or anything."

"True. Grim would've told me if he was. So…he's going to be okay?"

"I think so. I don't know."

"Okay," Mandy said, still looking unmoved, though deep down she was quite relieved. "Tell him I said 'hello'."

This surprised Minnie and Junior. Their mother was the symbol of evil. She was evil personified! And yet she seemed to show concern for someone she hadn't seen for years.

"Can do!" Penelope shouted, giving a military salute.

"Oh yeah…you are definitely Billy's daughter."

-X-

As Penelope said good-bye to Junior and she (and her still-cloaked family) was about to leave, Minnie stopped her.

"Doth thou truly wish to learn why I gave my brother my eye?"

Penelope raised an eyebrow. "You don't have to."

"But I feel as though you must know." Minnie then told Penelope about the entire tale: Mandy questioning her mortality, her suicide attempt, her run for mayor, Grim Junior's jealousy of Minnie, Minnie saving her brother, everything up to this point that Minnie felt Penelope should know.

Grim was shocked. Of course, most of that never happened in their dimension, but some of it actually did. He remembered quite well of Mandy questioning her mortality and her own suicide attempt. In this timeline, however, the reason why Grim didn't take her was because he loved her, but in their dimension Grim didn't take her because he had a feeling that someone else loved her, and he didn't want to have to put up with a certain someone's constant crying and "snot-shooting").

It was time to go as Minnie said her final farewell to Penelope.

"Take care, nose-gifted girl," Minimandy said as she hugged Penelope good-bye.

"Take care of what?"

"…Nevermind," Minnie said as she walked back to the manor.

When all was clear, Grim turned off the cloaking device. "It's a shame I wasn't home. I would've loved to see a version of me wit' some power. Ah well…he's probably doin' some reaping or somet'ing."

"Shut up and take us home, Grim," Scott said.

Grim muttered obscenities under his breath and opened a portal with his scythe. The four were finally going home.

(A/N: Oh! I remember now! That guy was me! I created Scott and Penelope. I just remembered it now. Okay, I knew all along. It's just that those disclaimers get boring after a while and I wanted to have fun with this one.)
