Disclaimer:
Maxwell Atoms is the owner of "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" I am just making a fanfiction parody. I hope you enjoy it.
I also don't own Xiaolian Showdown, not sure if I needed to say that though.
Description you need to know. Billy and Mandy are around sixteen years old and Mandy is still wearing what she normally wears and same goes with Billy. The chapter begins
Author's Note: It seemed that some thought that the last chapter was the final chapter. It was actually an interlude that is why it was titled 'Chapter Interlude'. An interlude is basically a side episode/story. I decided to show you what would happen in my fic, if Billy did not survive his final battle.
This story is far from…no wait this is the last chapter, hope you enjoy it! I'm planning on making my second fic when I get a chance, I been busy lately with personal matters. Well enjoy the fic, it starts now.

"Come on Billy, wake up…," Mandy worriedly pleaded.
"Stop this silliness child. He won't be coming out of that from a few slaps on the face," Grim told her.
"Why Grim, please…answer me why…," She half begged and half demanded as her eyes were sad and teary.
"The boy wanted you to be happy mon, there's nothing much I can say. He knew you wanted to rule both worlds and I know he would do anything for you. Just by the fact, he demanded to save you made that pretty obvious. He even decided this after the connections in his brain were fully functional," Grim said but Mandy did not want to accept the answer.
"What can I do to save him," She asked while looking at the boy who was near death.
"Child…I'm not sure if there is something you will do, and I will not be playing another game with you," Grim said as Mandy seemed to have her hopes broken.
"Please Grim… I don't care what deal or request you have…," Mandy gritted her teeth as she spoke to the reaper.
"…..I…there is not much I can do child," Grim sympathetically said.
"What if I offer my soul in the bet," Mandy asked, gritting her teeth to hold back her rage. The reaper seemed surprised for a moment and then his face softened as he began to think.
"….Tempting….hmmm...fine then, let's see how much you care about this boy. I'll play a game and if you win, I'll become you two's best friend once again and try to help you save that boy. Just to let you know child, in order for Billy to save you, he had to make a deal to set me free," Grim told her.
"Deal Grim, now choose your game," Mandy demanded while Billy's body was surrounded by a green aura and lifted away from the two.
"We will do a racing game, if you make it to Billy first, you win but if I make it to me scythe, I win," Grim said and Mandy glared at the reaper.
"Fine…," Mandy hissed, agreeing to the terms. The scythe then began to float away from Grim. The two were teleported into another world, the sky and everything around them was black with red swirls. They stood on a red dirt rocky ground that stretched a distance towards Billy and the scythe. There were pendulums swinging low at a narrow path and fire blasting from the holes from the ground.
Mandy knew that there would be more surprises on the way and then she took a deep breath, feeling a bit fatigued.
"Underworld showdown," Grim shouted and Mandy raised a brow at him. Then the game had begun. There were two narrow path ways, one which led to the scythe, while the other lead to Billy and there was no way to go on each others path. The piece of land Grim was standing on, was separated far away from Mandy and connected itself to a narrow pathway that led to his scythe.
"Let's begin," Grim said and they began the race.
Mandy found herself slowly avoiding the flames that came from the ground.
"Uhm…Grim…when did you like such dangerous games," Mandy curiously asked and the reaper, who only glared at her in reply.
"Yeah…I get it now," She replied, knowing he did this kind of game because of her.
Mandy found herself being singed, when she tried avoiding the blasts of flames. She soon passed the many flame blasts with almost precise timing and was now standing in front of the razor sharp pendulums that swung back and forth.
"If you really care about the brat, you will start moving faster child, because if you forgot about my limbo skills, then that will hurt you in this race," Grim said and Mandy noticed that the pendulums were just enough above the ground for them to miss the reaper, if he treats it like the first limbo game, minus Mr. Snuggles. This will be easy for the reaper but for her it was a different story. She ignored the reaper as she maneuvered her way through the blades, receiving some minor cuts and scraps while almost falling off the edge from time to time.
Mandy was near to finishing the race, but there was a pendulum that was not moving and it suddenly began to swing almost hitting Mandy, making her fall off the narrow piece of land.
"No…," she angrily whispered to herself as she grabbed onto the edge. Grim saw this while he was near his scythe and watched Mandy as she desperately tried to climb back up, while trying to make sure the pendulum did not get her as she did so. He was now near his scythe just about five feet away and his facial expression showed a bit of worry for Mandy.
She climbed and avoided the pendulum as it made a thin precise cut on her dress, which luckily did not rip to where it would show any bit of her back. She was now crawling exhausted from the run as she was soon going to be out of the area of the swinging blades.
Grim sighed as he watched the girl struggle to get to Billy. He was soon near his scythe but then took another look at Mandy as she almost received another cut and she looked extremely fatigued. Grim began to hesitate, not going for his easy win and sighed once more. He took a step forward and a small part of the floor moved down like a switch, making him give a little grin.
"Oh no mon," He shouted while a pendulum swung at him taking the reaper off the ground and began swinging back and forth. Grim squealed as Mandy crawled towards Billy getting closer and hitting down a similar panel making a pendulum also come down at her. She was able to roll quickly away from it and get near Billy who lay on the ground almost lifelessly. She touched him and the game was all over, Mandy had won, and they were once again, back in Venage's lair.
"You let me win…," Mandy glared at the reaper but then moved towards Billy, no longer carrying about the game anymore.
"Billy, wake up now," Mandy demanded as he still seemed lifeless and she then turned around to harshly glare at the reaper.
"I still won the game, why is he still like this," Mandy angrily questioned him.
"That's because, I said I would help you, it's really Billy who is stopping me from reviving him, because he believes you would be happier with out him. Billy is not gone yet Mandy but if you truly wish to save him, then you must understand that he wants you happy. So if you can do something that will prove to him that you will be happier with him in this world, then he might be able to pull through, but I warn you child, Venage was right about what he said, Billy meeting this fate will be the reason you can rule the worlds. If he escapes death this time, you won't have your way in ruling the underworld and the living world or it will be a lot harder to gain at least," Grim told her.
"So it's either Billy or to be the ruler of everything," Mandy spoke and Grim nodded.
"Well that's an easy choice," Mandy said as she closed her eyes, and even though she felt awkward, nervous, and her body was giving heavy resistance to what she planed to do. She forced herself to put her lips against Billy's and she could feel the warmth from kissing him, which made her heart feel good. Mandy soon felt Billy kissing her back and found herself enjoying the kiss so much, that she deepened it. She felt Billy begin to move and slowly melt into the kiss himself, as he began to stand up. She felt her body being picked up into the air, as she put her arms around the boy who was kissing her.
Grim was grinning but then coughed to get their attention.
"I did the game as more of a test child, if you refused to do it, then I knew you would never go so far, to prove to Billy that you wanted him with you more then conquering the two worlds," Grim whispered into Mandy's ear but then gave a grin as he began to talk out loud.
"I don't want to ruin your make out session but we need to get going, I think you two, need to get some medical treatment mon. Plus the only reason why Billy is even up is because I added a little magic to that kiss so Mandy could give Billy some energy back," Grim said as Mandy looked dead tired and Billy looked even worse.
"Shut up Grim, I only kissed him because he will be a good servant for my future," Mandy said and Billy looked at her and smiled.
"I will do what ever you say Mandy," Billy happily told her as he gave a weak but goofy grin.
"You better, now lets go. Grim take us home," Mandy demanded but began to collapse, becoming too weak to move anymore.
"Here climb on my back," Billy weakly said, bending down enough to pick her up from her legs and to let her body lean onto his back while her arms wrapped around him. Grim looked worriedly at Billy, knowing that the boy was beyond his limits and should not be carrying Mandy or even walking now. Billy dragged himself a bit and was using all his strength to keep Mandy stable on his back, as she seemed to pass out while she was tightly holding him.
"Grim…grab the scythes…and let's get out…of here," Billy huffed and puffed with each pause in his sentence. Grim listened to the boy as he took the two scythes and opened a portal that led to the hospital.
When they got to the hospital, Billy and Mandy had their wounds treated and were fed a decent meal, then compared to what they had eaten during this adventure. After a few weeks passed, the two finally were allowed to go back home.
Days had passed since they were released from the hospital and now they were sitting on Billy's coach watching TV.
"I'm glade you decided to cancel our deal Grim," Billy happily said.
"No problem mon, I think you two have grown way too much on me anyways," Grim replied.
Since Mandy knew that Grim had lost on purpose, she decided to break the bet, feeling that she didn't truly win the game and didn't like the fact that he had let her win.
"Hey Billy, go get me a drink," Mandy demanded and the boy rushed out to get her a drink.
"Bring me something sweet to eat also." Mandy demanded and Billy complied as he brought her sweets.
"Don't you think you are abusing him," Grim asked.
"I think he is happy with it, and so am I," Mandy said while giving a small smile that Billy saw when he came back and Grim almost seemed stunned, but the smile only lasted for a short moment as Mandy noticed they were staring.
"Mandy you should really try smiling more, it's beautiful." Billy cheerfully told her as his face inched closer to hers so he could admire her.
"Billy if you do what I think you are about to do, then you will face a beating worse then anything you have ever faced before," Mandy threatened but Billy ignored her as he pressed his lips against hers and felt her melt into it.
"But it is so worth it," Billy happily replied when he finished and then Mandy punched him on the face.
"Yes, it's definitely worth it," She replied, giving a true natural smile that did not destroy the world, leaving Grim in shock and Billy to jump onto Mandy pecking his lips against hers.
Ten years had passed, as a boy with red hair and blue pajamas was being tucked into bed by his mother.
"Tell me the story again," The hyper boy, with red hair, pleaded to his mother.
"Ok, but then you're going to bed," His mother demanded.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," He said excitedly.
"Once, upon a time, there was an idiot boy and a ruthless girl…" Mandy began the story as her son gave his full attention to her.
