Chapter 3: A Serious Problem
As Mandy was finished with what she had to do at school, she walked toward her house and notice Billy's dad-Harold was carrying a bunch of junk in some sort of box.
"Say, just what the heck are you carrying?" asked Mandy to Harold.
"Oh, you mean these do-hickey things I found just?" asked Harold.
"Did those come from Grim's trunk?" asked Mandy.
"Heck no, they were just lying down on the floor" replied Harold, "I asked your mom or dad if I could borrow the lawnmower again, but I think I can probably find something in this box of junk I just found to do my deeds."
As Mandy still wanted to know what was in the box, as she kept on asking Harold questions, Jimmy and Billy had arrived at her house before her. Jimmy looked around to try to find any of his inventions he had laid on the floor in a large box he had.
"Just what are you doing here?" asked Grim to both Jimmy and Billy, "I thought you were suppose to do the court order and tutor Billy over here from doing anything stupid."
"I'm trying to find my invention known as the Brain Drain and reverse the effect on Billy into making him at least average" said Jimmy.
"But isn't that cheating?" asked Grim.
"You use your powers all the time to help Billy and Mandy out, why should you lecture me what to do?" asked Jimmy.
"You have a point" replied Grim as he went back on the sofa with Goddard finished with whatever demands Grim had to offer.
"Have any of you seen my box of inventions?" asked Jimmy as he began to search everywhere in the room, "I swore I just left it here."
"Oh that?" asked Grim.
Goddard then barked alerting Jimmy that the Grim Reaper had fooled around with some of his inventions.
"You mean you used some of my inventions without my permission?!" cried Jimmy to Grim.
"I only wanted to see what they did" replied Grim, "I tested that Hypno Disk on Irwin doing all of my chores, and handed over some remote to Jeff, Billy's so-called spider son."
"You handed over the Universal Remote to a spider named Jeff?!" cried Jimmy, "Just who the heck is this Jeff anyway?"
Suddenly Jeff came in with at least three other large spiders just his size.
"Hey dad, just dropped by to say hello" said Jeff.
Billy quickly responded by screaming and raced toward the sofa and dove under the pillow cases of the sofa trying to hide from Jeff.
"You must be Jeff, are you not?" asked Jimmy.
"And who might you be?" asked Jeff.
"I'm Jimmy Neutron, I'm suppose to be your so-called dad's tutor" replied Jimmy.
"And he's under contract from me" added Grim.
"Say, you wouldn't happen to have a remote control of some sort with you?" asked Jimmy.
"Oh this thing here?" asked Jeff as he took out the Universal Remote, "We simply used this to make a copy of the first prehistoric spider, so then we won't mess up with the time line."
"Wow, for a spider, you must be pretty smart" said Jimmy.
"Thanks" said Jeff, "anyway, here's your invention back, we spiders have some catching up to do with this prehistoric spider we brought back."
As Jeff and his spider friends went off, Billy came out of his hiding place.
"Please Mr. Boy With Crazy Hair-Do" said Billy, "please tutor me into not just becoming an average kid, invent something that'll squish those spiders!"
"I don't want to squish Jeff or any of his spider friends" said Jimmy, "but I would tutor you to become merely average if I can only find out what happen to my box of inventions I laid down."
"So Billy" said Mandy as she finally arrived, "how are you doing so far on that tutoring with Jimmy over here?"
"We're trying to find my Brain Drain invention, I believe I can reverse its effects and use it on Billy to make him at least get an average grade of a C" replied Jimmy, "if I just knew what the heck happened to the box of my inventions I placed down."
"Well, I just saw Billy's dad take a box of some sort of junk over to his house, along with also planning to sell some of it" said Mandy.
"What?!" cried Jimmy, "He can't do that!"
"I'm afraid he can" replied Grim, "stupidity runs high in Billy's family, and well, as much as Billy messes around with my trunk, I predict Harold is going to mess around with some of those inventions of yours. But heck, at least this time it isn't mine problem."
"I just can't imagine the sort of misuse of my inventions your father is doing" said Jimmy as he and Billy ran back to Billy's house.
As Jimmy and Billy headed back to Billy's house, Harold, meanwhile was digging through the box of inventions Jimmy had created.
"Let's see" said Harold as he had placed the box of inventions on the ground in the garage and started to throw some of the inventions out of the box, "hmm, a strange Hypno Disk, some strange gum, more strange gum, say just what the heck is this tube with orange colorings on it?"
"Please don't touch that!" shouted Jimmy as he and Billy finally arrived on the scene.
"Why will it make me into some sort of an orange hulk-like monster?" laughed Harold as he laughed and drank the powder.
"What's my dad drinking?" asked Billy.
"He's drinking one of my N-Men powers, mine power that I had to be exact" said Jimmy.
As Harold drank all of the orange colored powder, he began to feel quite strange as he began to grew into a very muscular-orange monster with green hair.
"Me look good" said Harold who failed to notice the sort of change throughout his body.
"Hey, my dad now can get rid of Jeff and his stupid spider friends forever!" shouted Billy, "Thanks Mr. Boy With the Crazy Hair-Do for doing something right!"
"Billy, I need to reverse the affects on your father, it wasn't good for me to have these powers for too long" said Jimmy.
"Oh come on" said Billy as he passed on those comments, "my dad is now the coolest dad, as he can now also go get that Jeff and his spider friends squished."
"You something want son?" asked Harold in a sluggish voice.
"You see this picture of Jeff the Spider?" asked Billy.
"Yea?" asked Harold.
"I want you to go squish him and his friends!" shouted Billy.
"Me go do that son" replied Harold as he walked out of the garage, destroying part of the roof in the process of leaving the scene.
Suddenly Grim along with Mandy and Goddard came over to the scene and were quite shocked of how large and orange Harold was.
"Was that your dad?" asked Mandy to Billy.
"Yep" replied Billy, "my dad found some sort of a strange tube with orange colors on it and drank the powder and now he has become a large orange hulk-like monster prepared to get Jeff and his spider friends squished for good."
"Billy, do you realize what you have done?!" shouted both Jimmy and Grim at the same time.
"Say, this time we're on the same page" said Grim to Jimmy.
"I guess you're right" added Jimmy.
"So what do you propose we do to stop Billy's father from destroying the neighborhood in the process of squishing Jeff and his spider friends?" asked Grim.
"I have some friends back home at Retroville that can help" replied Jimmy.
"Whoa, whoa" said Mandy, "that's going to take some time. You mind as well give the same sort of stuff Billy's dad drank to me."
"Well, I do have some other N-Men powers I can give to you" said Jimmy as he got out the tube that had the Special Girl powers, "I think you may do well with this."
"Let's just hope this plan works" said Grim.
