"Well, it's been a week. A rather interesting week here in Dimmsdale. More than I thought it would be..." Mandy thought on the morning of her scheduled return to Endsville.

She got out of bed, glanced over at the still snoozing Timmy and made her way to the bathroom to clean herself up.

When she was done, she headed downstairs to find her parents and her aunt and uncle in the middle of fixing breakfast.

"Oh... Mandy! Hello there! Good morning! Would you like some breakfast?" Mrs Turner asked timidly.

Mandy simply nodded and Mrs Turner placed a plate with bacon, scrambled eggs, buttered toast and a blueberry muffin in front of her.

Grabbing a fork, Mandy got into her breakfast.

Minutes later, Timmy also joined her at the breakfast table, yawning widely.

"Morning, Mandy..." Timmy still sounded sleepy as he sat next to her and his aunt put a breakfast plate in front of him.

Mandy only grunted in response, focused more on the food in front of her than anything else.

"So, Mandy..." Her mother started nervously. "We'll be flying back home this afternoon. Did you enjoy your week here in Dimmsdale with your cousin?"

Mandy swallowed her mouthful of bacon before answering. "It was... interesting." she side-eyed Timmy at this. "I certainly wouldn't mind coming for a return visit."

Mr and Mrs Turner looked ready to faint at these words.

"I'd like to see where you live someday. Endsville sounds like it might actually be an interesting place!" Timmy spoke with his mouth full.

"Perhaps you could come visit with your parents, sometime, Timmy!" Mrs Maxwell suggested.

"That would be acceptable." Mandy finished off her breakfast with a glass of orange juice and left the table, Timmy following her as soon as he'd finished off most of his breakfast, save for the half-finished blueberry muffin in one hand.

"We still have a couple hours to kill before you have to get to Dimmsdale Airport. What do you wanna do?" Timmy asked Mandy once they'd returned to his room.

"I suppose we could venture out to Dimmsdale Mall. There's lots of cool enough stuff there. Though we might encounter the popular kids there..." Timmy scowled at the very thought.

"I suppose it's better than just hanging around here until this." Mandy sounded bored at the very thought.

"So you're going to be spending your Saturday morning at the mall, huh sport?" Wanda asked Timmy as she poof-ed out of the fishbowl, Cosmo and Poof emerging behind her.

"Looks like it. I'm sure we'd find something to do." Timmy shrugged.

"Well then, you'd better get a move on!" Cosmo exclaimed.

"You don't want me to come with you, do you?" Grim asked. "I just got me the latest copy of the Supernatural World magazine and there be some mighty interesting stories in here this time..." he reached into a sleeve of his robe, rummaging around and pulling out a rather thick looking magazine.

"Nah, you don't need to come." Mandy waved him off. "It's just a trip to the mall is all."

"Good. I'd rather you leave me out of what you're likely to get up to at that mall..." Grim conjured up a black beanbag chair and sunk into it to read.

"We'll come with you, Timmy!" Cosmo poofed himself into a wristband, Wanda into a watch and Poof into a backpack.

"Alright then. Let's get going. We've only got a few hours left together, after all..." Mandy stood up from her seat on the edge of Timmy's bed and rummaged around in her own suitcase for a backpack.

The trip to Dimmsdale Mall had been an interesting one, Timmy thought as he and Mandy made their way back to his house.

In the comic book store, Francis had seen her coming and had practically fallen over himself to get out of her way as she made her way over to the Skullcrusher comics.

Most other children seemed to either admire her, were terrified of her, or some odd combination of the two.

She'd reduced Tad and Chad to tears with just a few well-placed words, which was a moment he was sure to fix in his memory forever.

Trixie Tang had talked to him and Mandy amicably enough. She didn't seem too afraid of his cousin, oddly enough...

He, Mandy, Chester and AJ had sat together in the food court, eating the greasiest of greasy burgers and fries, which Grim would be glad at, as eaten in sufficient quantities, they'd probably induce several fatal diseases...

As they were leaving, Mr Crocker came in to do some shopping with his mother and when he took one look at Mandy, he jumped into his mother's arms in fright, bowling the two of them over.

There was another memory for him to cherish...

All too soon, they had arrived back home.

"How was your trip to the mall, Mandy?" Mrs Maxwell asked.

"It was satisfactory, Mother..." Mandy nodded in acknowledgement of her mother's greeting.

"You should go finish packing now. We need to get to the airport in two hours..." Mr Maxwell said.

"Very well..." Mandy continued on upstairs.

When they reached Timmy's room, they found Eris and Grim in there, avidly discussing different articles in Supernatural World magazine.

"Oh hey, Mandy, Timmy! And fairies of course!" Eris greeted them as Wanda, Cosmo and Poof returned themselves to their normal fairy forms.

"You again." Mandy narrowed her eyes at the goddess. "Shouldn't you get going? Somewhere else?"

"Nonsense! I'm quite fine here!" Eris exclaimed. "This week in Dimmsdale has proven that this town could be quite interesting. Even without Cosmo and his family here! I think I'll come here for visits sometimes!"

"At least she'll be spending less time bothering you in Endsville, right?" Grim pointed out to Mandy.

"True..." Mandy acquiesced.

"Plus messing with that Vicky girl... I haven't had that much fun in ages..." Eris giggled. "Do let me know when you're planning something like that again! I want in!"

"Maybe. You can be a nuisance, but you do have your uses, Eris..." Mandy said.

"Anyway, I've got to get going. I have an appointment to get my hair and nails done that I simply cannot miss. Toodles!" Eris disappeared with a cloud of smoke that left everyone left behind (except Grim) coughing wildly for a few seconds.

Later on, as they found themselves inside Dimmsdale Airport, Mandy turned to Timmy.

"Well, cousin. It's been an interesting week. Much more interesting than I thought it would be at first..." she said.

"Gotta say the same, Mandy. It was interesting having you here. And you put a good scare into the people bothering me. They won't be doing that for a long, long time. Especially Vicky..." Timmy chuckled a chuckle that would make a B-movie villain proud.

"Still in the hospital, isn't she?" Mandy asked.

"Oh yeah. She won't be back out for at least another month!" Timmy exclaimed.

"Flight 432 bound for Endsville Airport will begin the boarding process in ten minutes. Passengers are advised to make their way through all security checks and assemble at gate number 6 for boarding." A lady's voice announced over the loudspeakers.

"Mandy, come! It's time to go!" Mr Maxwell called out.

"See you around, Timmy. Hope to see you in Endsville sometime." Mandy held out a hand for a handshake and Timmy took it.

"Maybe I'll wish it." Timmy said.

"Take care of those godparents of yours. They seem to really like you. And of course, they're a source of real power and an advantage for you- if you use their magic wisely, that is." Mandy nodded and turned away to join her parents.

As the Maxwells got further away, Mr and Mrs Turner burst out into tears, though these were more tears of relief than of sadness.

"Well, Mandy's finally gone..." Timmy spoke to his godparents as he stepped aside from his parents for a moment.

"Thank goodness..." the Wanda-watch spoke, sounding obviously relieved.

"She scared me!" Cosmo-wristband exclaimed.

"Poof Poof!" Poof-backpack agreed.

"She and Grim made things pretty interesting around here. Ah well. I guess I'll see them again sometime..." Timmy rejoined his parents and made his way out of the airport with them.

And this is the end of Eviler Than Thou. I hope you all enjoyed it.

I have ideas for a sequel of sorts where Timmy and his fairies visit Endsville and meet Billy and other assorted characters from there, but that's not going to happen anytime soon, methinks.
