At 7:00 I was served a five course dinner, something that I wasn't used to, but certainly wasn't going to turn away. The chef had stayed on, since Mindy has expensive tastes (something she didn't allow the rest of Endsville to take advantage of..they still were confined to the fried burger and pizza joints) and I knew I was truly going to be eating like a Queen for once in my life. I made a mental note though to make sure that potential restaurant proprieters knew they could open up new places in the Endsville under my rule.

It was wonderful...I could feel the power surging through my veins and the respect and love of my subjects. Granted it made me feel somewhat "superior" but I felt guilty for that and figured it would pass once I got used to things. The important thing is I was making a difference, and having my name and face in lights was just a nice side benefit of the job.

I was cutting into my Chicken Cordon Bleu when Grim suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Ah, there you are. Chef made your brownies..and if you would like to join me for dinner, please feel free," I said, indicating a seat.

Grim looked tired and a bit worn out, it seemed to me. I knew it couldn't have been from moving my stuff as that just took a wave of the scythe. Without speaking, he sat across from me, and the chef soon came out with a plate of food for him.

He began to tell me about how when he went to my apartment, he saw that Billy was in his apartment down the hall and had apparently stayed there all night. Grim had found him drunk and disheveled. I had raised my eyebrows and frowned when he told me the story. It was just this kind of irresponsibility that turned me off from the male species. Where were the respectful, intelligent, ambitious types who could maturely handle their self pity without resorting to cheap alcohol? The look on Grim's face told me that my reaction had probably just made things worse.

"The ting' is, Mandy, is dat he's upset about you. He doesn't feel you appreciate him...especially after he saved you."

"I do appreciate it!" I insisted, offended he would even think I haven't been grateful for his help. "But what more does he want?"

"He wants you, Mandy. In case you haven't noticed, he's been in love wit' you since da two of you were 10 years old."

I knew this, and I didn't like it being rehashed, but I decided to play innocent here.

"I have always known he had strong feelings for me, but...honestly Grim...does he SEEM like he's in my league to you?"

"Don't be so self righteous, girl!" Grim exclaimed. "He's got his problems...but so do you. And lest you forget when Mindy came to capture you...you two looked like you were in da middle of something."

I blushed. "That was...a mistake. It won't happen again."

"What are you so worried about him seeing you naked for when he almost died back der? You humans just mystify me, mon."

I rolled my shoulders uncomfortably. "It's complicated."

"Why don't you just "give him a tumble" as I put it to him and den you two can move forward with tings? It's driving me crazy, like da 3rd season of Moonlighting."

I could feel my fists shaking with anger now. Grim didn't know anything about love and sex or how it all worked with humans. "That's cheap and beneath me, Grim. I'm not that kind of girl and in all the years I've known you, I can't believe you'd think I'd just jump in the sack with Billy." I made a face of disgust, now burning red with fury and embarrassment.

Grim blinked, looking at me. Then he suddenly burst out laughing, almost to the point of falling on the floor.

"What? What is sooo funny?!" I said in outrage.

"You haven't...oh..my...no, of course you wouldn't have. You barely let a guy hold your hand, let alone...oh mon!!" He was now crying out his eyeholes and I failed to see the humor in any of this. "Dat incident in high school obviously scarred you for life."

I knew what he was getting at now and I was royally pissed off. "No...it's called being in control and waiting for someone truly worthy. I'm not some two bit whore like Mindy was."

Grim was wiping the tears from his eyes now. "Oh child, you are in trouble. I'm sure dat's all Billy has been able to tink about since he saw you naked."

I growled. I could see Grim starting to laugh again. "Out," I said as calmly as I could. This circus was going to end right now, and I realized I was going to have to have a straight up, lay out the rules with Billy before this got any further. How DARE he degrade me to some loose woman, when he had probably been with every bimbo in Endsville? It made my blood boil! My reputation was going to remain intact and Billy was going to be put in his place once and for all...even if it meant losing his friendship.
Mandy and Grim have a heated discussion concerning Billy's current feelings and Mandy's personal life choices.
