A/N: After my first Billy and Mandy story turned out to be a flop I thought I'd probably stray away from writing Grim and Evil fanfiction... but this idea just suddenly came to me and I just had to write it down. Inspired by the song "Grow For Me" from Little Shop of Horrors. Some of the lyrics I had to re-invent to fit the story, but you get the jist of it.

On with the show!

Tink... tink

Mandy stirred in her sleep.

TINK... TINK...

"Mrm... Grim turn the TV off..." Mandy mumbled in her sleep and rolled over onto her other side.

TINK... TINK... TINK... SMASH!

Mandy sat up in her bed instantly. "What the hell was that?"

"Uh oh... my bad yo," said a nervous voice outside her bedroom window.

When Mandy's eyes adjusted to the light she say a brick laying in a pile of broken glass at the foot of her bed. She slid out of bed a carefully walked around the broken glass to her window.

"Oh jeez..." she groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose as she saw the sight on her front lawn.

"Mandy... where for art thou my dearest Mandy yo" cried Irwin, down on one knee with his left hand on his heart and his right reaching out to the girl in the window above him.

Mandy lifted the broken window pane and stuck her head out, glaring menacingly at the nerd below her. "First of all, Romeo, you're stealing Juliets lines, and second of all I'm going to rip your face off with my bare fingers for throwing at brick through my window."

"Sorry about that yo, but the pebbles I was throwing weren't waking you up,"

"What do you want, Irwin?"

"I have something of great importance to ask you yo" said Irwin, pulling a small acoustic guitar out of nowhere. "I write a song about it yo,"

Irwin started to strum the guitar strings gently, then picked up a melody and began to sing.

"I've given you sunshine

I've given you dessert

You've given me nothing

But heartache and hurt

I'm begging you sweetly

I'm down on my knees

Oh please, go out with me!"

Mandy rolled her eyes. "You have got to be kidding me," she muttered.

"I've given you expensive food

I bring you water to sip

I've given you adoration

You've given me zip

Oh God how I miss you

Oh babe how you tease!

Now please, go out with me!"

Mandy tore her horrified gaze away from the weenie before her and glared down at Saliva's dog kennel. "I knew I should have settled for a doberman... I'll have to get Grim to re-summon Cerberes from the underworld. I'm gonna need one pretty decent guard dog after this." She paused then added "With three heads."

Meanwhile, Irwin continued to serenade Mandy.

"I've given you love and compassion

My love continues the thrive

I show devotion

Like I'm supposed to

But it's like I'm barely alive

I've gone through levels to get your attention

But I'm still treated like mud

I've given you flowers

I've given you chocolates

What do you want from me, BLOOD?"

"Hey nerd," said a fierce voice from behind him. Irwin turned slowly to come face to face with a bad tempered Sperg, punding his fist in his hand to warm up. "Shut the hell up, some people are trying to sleep."

"Eep..." cried the terrified Irwin.

Three wedgies, two black eyes, a dozen punches to the stomach, chest and face, a kick in the balls, a guitar smashed over his head and a broken nose later, Irwin crawled back to his position below Mandy's window.

Suddenly he heard clapping. He looked up to see Mandy slowly aplauding.

"Not bad, Irwin" she said, her trademark glare still in place.

Irwin wiped away the blood that was pouring from his nose down his face and stared at it in thought. Slowly, he began to rise to his feet and began his serenade again.

"I've given you sunlight

I've given you rain

Looks like you're not happy

Unless I open a vein

For you'll I'll give a few drops

If that'll appease

Now please

Oh, oh

PLEASE!

Go out with me?"

Irwin gave Mandy a hard, determind look of hope. "Hmm..." said Mandy in thought, a finger tapping on her chin as she glanced up at the ceiling, reaching a decision.

"No."

She slammed her window shut, drew her curtains and disappeared from sight.

Irwin's head drooped in disappointment. "Oh man, not again yo."

The End

What do you think? I feel pretty bad that I had to be that mean to Irwin, but he's gone through worse to get Mandy's attention.
