Grim Adventures of Merasmus

Chapter 1: New Job

It was a typical day between Merasmus and the Red Soldier which the Red Soldier was having a party with some of those in his platoon and opposing platoon in the Blue team over which annoyed him quite greatly.

"Soldier, tell your friends to keep quiet!" cried Merasmus, "I'm trying to be in my happy place here!"

"But Merasmus, they're only happy to just be here" said the Red Soldier.

"I do not care about that, they're being loud and annoying!" cried Merasmus.

"Hey look I found a book!" laughed a Blue soldier who came across Merasmus' most prized procession.

"Put that book down!" cried Merasmus.

"Hey, toss it to me!" laughed another Red soldier.

"No, give me that!" cried Merasmus.

Poor Merasmus had to endure the Red Soldier and his friends for a few moments meanwhile, a certain Grim Reaper was putting up his application as the title of Reaper for someone else to take the job.

"Grim what are you doing?" asked Billy.

"Me lawyer says he found a way to get away from you two and that's by getting someone else to become the Grim Reaper for a temporary purpose" continued Grim.

"So whoever comes around and takes your job offer will have to be our best-friend-forever?" asked Mandy.

"Yep that's the idea" continued Grim, "and that's the right loophole me lawyer found out that I could accept someone as the new Grim Reaper which brings me to have a good long vacation away from you two."

Meanwhile for Merasmus things were getting out of control as the house began to soon burn down he ended up booting the Red Soldier and his comrades out of the house.

"Get out!" roared Merasmus, "You're all ruining the place, I need a vacation away from you all!"

Suddenly after the Red Soldier left for the time being with his comrades to go elsewhere to cause trouble, Merasmus sat down on his chair and headed for the internet, there he noticed the job title of the Grim Reaper.

"It can't be, this has to be a joke no one would offer the job of the Reaper, hmm, maybe I can finally get revenge on that Soldier and his friends!" laughed Merasmus.

Merasmus soon uploads his resume and his references which Grim ends up receiving in the other end.

"Ha, some wizard named Merasmus has agreed to take me job!" laughed Grim, "That means I will have no problems with you two anymore ever again, I can finally be set free!"

Grim ends up accepting Merasmus' entry for the title of Grim Reaper which the Reaper himself ends up calling Merasmus on his cell phone.

"Uh, is this Merasmus?" asked Grim as Merasmus picked up on the other line.

"Yes, this is he" continued Merasmus.

"You applied for the job of Grim Reaper have you not?" asked Grim.

"A few minutes ago yes" continued Merasmus.

"Well just come down to Endsville in anyway you can" said Grim.

Suddenly Merasmus ends up using his powers to teleport himself to the room where Grim was located.

"Reaper, I have come for your job!" laughed Merasmus.

"Hey he does the same things as Grim does!" laughed Billy.

"Who the heck are these two?" asked Merasmus as he didn't know who Billy and Mandy were.

"Oh this is Billy and that's Mandy" continued Grim.

"With all due pleasure of meeting you" said Mandy.

"So, what's my first task as being Reaper?" asked Merasmus.

"Well first thing is you'll get an outfit like me own and a scythe like me own to do your Reaping" continued Grim.

"Oh this I certainly like" laughed Merasmus as he was looking in the mirror.

"Grim, I'm here to borrow some of your stuff" said Harold as he walked in, "Grim, did you get taller, been going through those protein pills have you?"

"And who is that?" whispered Merasmus to Grim.

"That's Billy's father Harold" continued Grim, "I'm forced to be Mandy and Billy's friend slave."

"What?!" cried Merasmus, "You never mentioned that in the application online!"

"Face it Merasmus, you agreed to take Grim's place meaning you're going to be our best friend forever as well" continued Mandy.

"Then I shall send the former Grim Reaper to a good desired vacation taking my spot at home!" cried Merasmus.

With the one wave of Merasmus' own staff he ends up teleporting Grim all the way back to the house owned by the Red Soldier.

"That's what you get for tricking Merasmus!" laughed Merasmus.

"Uh, one problem, you still have signed up to be the Grim Reaper meaning as long as you are with us, you are never, ever, ever going to leave us" said Mandy.

"Yea, we get to play with the new Grim!" laughed Billy.

"I think I didn't think that through when I sent the old Reaper to my old place" sighed Merasmus.

"Okay here's a list of chores I want you to start doing as part of being our friend slave" said Mandy as she had a long list of chores that Merasmus couldn't believe how many there were.

As for Grim he woke up to the Red Soldier coming home after his comrades left which the Red Soldier noticed something odd about Merasmus.

"Say, Merasmus, did my attitude shrink your size, you look smaller than before?" asked the Red Soldier.

"No" continued Grim, "you must be Merasmus' roommate he was complaining to me about in an email."

"Wait, who the heck are you then if you're not Merasmus" continued the Red Soldier.

"I am or was the Grim Reaper, your friend Merasmus has taken up the job opportunity of trading places with me" laughed Grim.

"Wait he can do something like that?" asked the Red Soldier.

"Yep and I am in a much needed vacation away from those two monsters at home" said Grim referring to Billy and Mandy.

"Well come on and join the fun on being on my team if you want to have a sport at having fun" laughed the Red Soldier.

"Okay, I suppose this wouldn't hurt" said Grim.
