Billy the Halfa

Chapter 1: Out of Town

As Mandy and Billy were watching television on the sofa, Grim came into the room as he slammed the door opened. As Mandy watched Grim walked by, she noticed he was carrying some sort of luggage with him along with a piece of paper that looked like his list of things to do.

"What's with the luggage bone head?" asked Mandy.

"I'm heading out of town for the weekend" replied Grim, "my to-do list tells me that I will be having a busy weekend."

"Since we own you" said Mandy.

"Can we come along?" asked Billy.

"I'm going to a small town called Amity Park" replied Grim.

"Can we come, please?" asked Billy.

"No" replied Grim, "your parents will be worried sick if I take you along without their permission. And you know they will say no."

Then suddenly Billy's dad came in the room.

"Mandy's parents along with Gladius and I are going to spent some quality time with each other" said Billy's dad, "so since Grim is the only adult available, he can baby-sit you two."

"What!" cried Grim.

"See you Monday mourning" replied Billy's dad.

Then Billy's dad leaves the room and slams the door shut and drives off with Gladius and Mandy's mom and dad.

"Guess you will be taking us then" said Mandy.

"Fine" said Grim, "but I must warn you. There are strange and spooky things that literally go bump in the night in Amity Park. So you have been warned."

Grim then took out his Scythe and aimed it at an area. He then fired some strange light out of his Scythe which created a portal. As Grim picked up his suitcase, he along with Mandy and Billy walked into the portal and out the other way. As they finally made it to their destination, they noticed they were in a park of some sort. Grim the laid down his suitcase on the ground and started to look at his to-do list.

"Now if you would please excuse me" said Grim, "I have to make a quick dash to the local high school. Looks like their pet raven is about to kick the can."

At Casper High, everybody was waiting for school to end. Yet Danny along with Sam and Tucker were assign to watch the pet raven, the school's mascot. As they walked in the room, they noticed the bird very old and looked very sickly.

"Wow" said Tucker as he looked at the dying raven in its cage, "that's our mascot?"

"Looks like he's about to kick the bucket" replied Sam as she saw the raven cough.

"Yea, I know" said Danny, "but if Mr. Launcer finds out that the bird is dead while we were watching it, he'll have our heads."

Suddenly before their very eyes, the room turned into nothing but darkness. A dark vortex emerged from the surface of the floor. And a strange hooded figure emerged from the vortex.

"Oh my gosh" said Sam in an excited voice, "it's the Grim Reaper. A Goth's most excited moment in life is to try to meet with the Grim Reaper."

"Well, thank you child" said Grim, "as you may have noticed, I am the Grim Reaper."

"Wait a minute?" asked Tucker, "Are you going to reap our souls?"

"No" replied Grim, "your time on Earth shall be a very long one. I can tell from the looks of it."

"So what have you come for oh great Grim Reaper?" asked Danny as he was trying to stand behind the dying raven.

"I have come for the soul of a sickly old raven" replied Grim, "and you seem to be standing in my way. Don't make me shorten your life over this. Seriously, don't."

"We can't let you have that raven" said Sam as she got in front of Grim.

"Well, why not?" asked Grim.

"Mr. Launcer is the one who made us watch over this raven" replied Sam, "if he sees that its gone, he'll have our heads."

"Have your heads?" asked Grim as he began to laugh, "That's a good one!"

"Well it's not funny to me" said Danny as he changed into his ghost mode.

"Wait a minute" said Grim in an astonished voice, "I thought you were just a rumor. But you better stand aside ghost boy and let me do my job!"

"Then you'll have to go through me" said Danny.

"That can be arranged" said Grim as he took out his Scythe.

Danny fired his ghost beam at Grim, but Grim leaped out of the way and dodged the attack. Grim took his Scythe and fired a red beam out of it, hitting Danny and sending him right through the wall. Danny got up and raced toward Grim as he was approaching the cage where the raven was being kept and was pulled out of the building by Danny and onto the street.

"Child, you are really driving my patients!" shouted Grim.

Grim then raised his Scythe and struck the tip of the blade on the ground, creating several flames from the Scythe and the flames came toward Danny. Danny then used his ghost shield to block the flames from hurting him. As Grim and Danny continued to fight, Mandy along with Billy were walking toward the high school and noticed that the two were fighting and hide near some bushes. But they were not the only ones who were watching, Valerie who was wearing her specter hunting gear was watching from the top of the school, while Skulcker was watching from some dumpsters nearby.

"The Grim Reaper and Danny Phantom fighting?" asked Skulcker to himself, "Oh how I would like to have revenge on the Reaper for putting me in this very position I am in."

As Skulcker carefully aimed his weapon at Grim, Valerie fired her weapon first at Grim, sending Grim across the street and hitting the curb. Valerie then leaped down from the roof and onto the ground.

"You're not working with the Grim Reaper?" asked Valerie.

"Nope" replied Danny, "he was trying to reap a soul."

"But it's my job!" cried Grim as he got up from the ground, "what's wrong with you people! Can't you let me do my job?"

"No!" shouted both Valerie and Danny.

As they were about to fire at Grim, they noticed on the school clock that someone would suspect they would be skipping a period. So they went their separate ways as quickly as they could. When the chaos was over, Mandy and Billy came to Grim's aid.

"What was that all about?" asked Mandy to Grim.

"I don't know" replied Grim as he dusted himself off, "but for whatever reason, I hope that's the last time I see those two faces. The ghost boy I know from a rumor, the other one who knows."
