A Sick Day To Remember

An Visitor?!

"If it's Grim," Mandy said, glaring at him. "Tell him to go away. We already saw him last year."

"It's not Grim," Dib said, confused. "Who is Grim?"

"Never mind," Mandy snapped. "Whoever it is, tell them to go away. We're busy right now."

"Okay, okay, I hear you," Dib chuckled. "But seriously though, I brought a certain someone who wants to see you."

"Then send him in," Mandy ordered impatiently.

"Okay," Dib agreed quickly. "Here goes nothing..."

A moment later, the door swung open. Standing on the threshold was none other than Billy himself!

Mandy was close to smacking the hell out of Dib, but Gaz finally spoke up.

"Billy?! What are YOU doing here?!" Gaz asked, surprised.

"I just came to visit," Billy smiled innocently.

"Visit?" Mandy scowled. "What kind of visit? A death sentence?!"

Billy shrugged sheepishly. "Maybe. But it depends on whether or not you decide to accept it."

"Accept what?!" Gaz yelled loudly. "What is wrong with you?! Why are you even here?!"

"Because I love you," Billy declared boldly. "I always have, ever since the first time I laid eyes on you."

"No way!" Mandy shouted incredulously. "That's impossible! There's no way in hell you could possibly love me!"

"Actually, I do," Billy insisted earnestly. "And I want to prove it beyond doubt. So here's what I propose..."

"Propose?!" Gaz echoed disbelievingly. "What kind of proposal?!"

"One that involves marriage," Billy clarified matter-of-factly.

"Marriage?!" Gaz repeated in resentment. "To YOU?! Are you insane?!"

"Probably," Billy admitted candidly.

They both lunged at Dib as if he suggested this inane idea.

"Stop! Stop!" Dib cried frantically. "Calm down, you guys! Listen to me for a second!"

"I'm gonna kill you!" Gaz snarled, trying to reach him.

"No, no, wait!" Dib pleaded desperately. "Please, just listen to what Billy has to say! He means well, really he does!"

"Shut up, Dib!" Mandy roared furiously. "We don't care what he says! We're gonna kick your ass right now!"

"No, no, please stop fighting!" Dib begged pitifully.

But he got beat up randomly. Luckily, Grim and Billy were there to restrain both girls.

"Don't worry, Dib," Billy assured him comfortingly. "Everything is under control."

"Thanks," Dib wheezed gratefully.

"Now, where were we?" Billy prompted conversationally. "Right, I proposed marriage to you two beautiful young women. And now, I need your answer. Do you accept my proposal?"

"NO WAY!" Gaz and Mandy screamed simultaneously.

Grim fainted the same time Dib did. Their bodies fell lifelessly to the floor.
