I promise you I didn't forget about Mouse Race. I just wanted to get this done with because you guys really wanted to read this.

I must say something first though: don't get your hopes up too high. This may not be what you were expecting. Some of the characters may also seem to be a little OOC, and I apologize for it. If you think you can do any better, go ahead.

Nonetheless, I'll try to revise it a little from its written form because I think it possibly goes beyond OOC at some points.

Also, some of the OOC moments were actually implied. You'll notice this with Minnie.

I do not own Billy, Mandy, and Grim, nor do I own characters from Grim Tales from Down Below. They are owned by Maxwell Atoms and Bleedman respectively. Oh, and sorry for the shortness…again…

"You drank all of my orange juice again, didn't you?"

"Sorry, hun! I--"

"Don't give me that 'sorry hun' crud, Bill!"

"I'll just go to the store and get some more."

"Using my money, I presume?"

"…"

"Ugh!"

"C'mon, hun! It's not my fault I can't keep a job! …Okay, so maybe it is, but I promise I'll make it up to you."

"Just forget it! I'll go get it myself…"

Scott, Penelope, and Grim were sitting on the couch in the living room, overhearing the conversation in the kitchen. They heard the door slam and looked at each other with worried looks.

Billy entered the living room with a frown on his face.

"What happened, mon?" Grim asked.

Billy tried to play it as if nothing even happened. "We just got into a little argument. Don't worry about it. It happens to every couple."

It wasn't even three seconds before Billy started bawling. "Oh, who am I kidding? I'm a terrible husband!"

"Now don't say dat, Bill," Grim said. "You're no more a terrible husband dan Mandy is a terrible wi…ah, nevermind…"

Billy wiped away his tears. "It's alright, Grim. I just…sometimes I wonder if I really am the right guy for Mandy, y'know? And if I'm not, who is?"

"Yeah," Scott added. "Who would've married Mom if Dad didn't? You know…besides Mister Irwin, 'cause I don't think Mom would marry him."

Grim thought for a moment. "I dunno. Maybe I could get me crystal ball from me trunk and we can see what could've became of Mandy in an alternate universe. Just hold on one second." He walked away.

Billy was suddenly confused. He looked at his watch. "Uh…Grim…it's been over a second already. …Grim? Grim? Gri-im… Gri--"

Suddenly, Grim came back with the crystal ball. "Shut up, Billy, and look into de ball. Now…uh…what were we doing again?"

"We were going to see what Mom's life would be like if she didn't marry Dad," Scott said.

"Oh…oh yeah. Um…crystal ball…what he said!"

Billy, Grim, Scott, and Penelope gazed into the crystal ball as an image appeared…
