A Thanksgiving Special I am writing. Based on an episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. It was about Billy being lonely, wishing on a star, and a brain-sucking alien comes down to Earth. Hence the title >>' Enjoy.^^ The song sung is titled "Brains!" by Voltaire.
Bold is the song's lyrics.
Here's a video to listen to the song:
The Cartoon that I got this from... Note that the red suit that Billy wears is the same thing Jess is wearing:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanksgiving. A time of giving thanks, getting together, and having fun. There was one problem... Jess didn't have a family. Sure, the purple haired girl had a lot of friends, but they don't have the qualities of a real mother or father. Jess sighed as she stared at the window in a familiar lair of Halloween Town. She visits sometimes and she had nothing to do, so she just visited her friends.
"I'm bored..." Jess sighed, then looked down at her slightly bulged stomach. Taro Chikumo, her husband, had gotten her pregnant on their wedding night. She would gladly join Taro... if it weren't for the fact that Taro had a Waterfall Village to lead. Michael, Jess' famous but dead friend, unfortunately had to go somewhere as well. Jess knew that she first had to get someone to play with her.
A red-headed, brown eyed girl named Akane was reading "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer when Jess walked towards her, her blue eyes blinking.
"Hey Akane, wanna play?" Jess swayed back and forth, "I got bread!" Jess smiled. Akane, who was really annoyed, didn't look away from her book.
"I'm too busy... Go play in traffic." She sneered. Jess looked down, then sadly walked into the kitchen. A half bat, half boy was busy playing Black Jack with his master, Oogie. He was about to win when Jess popped out in front of him.
"Hi Hybrid!" Jess yelled excitedly at the bat-boy, "What are you doing?"
"Bug off, Jess. I'm busy!" Hybrid shouted in Jess' ears. Jess then went to see Chicago, the crazy red bat. Chicago was watching TV when Jess was tapping at the window.
"Hey Chicago!" Jess whined in a high pitched voice. Chicago simply closed the drapes. Looks like Jess has no one to be with except for her enemy.
Jess hated some people as well, but when it comes to friends, she dislikes Poker the most. Poker, a blue gay bat, always made rumors at Jess and would always criticize her. He had a sick mind but Jess didn't have a choice. She knocked at Poker's bedroom door.
"Come in..." An emo voice answered, which was surprisingly Poker's. He looked like he was packed to go traveling. The big black case he was carrying was his big bass.
"Shouldn't you be stalking someone?" Jess joked, but the bat was serious.
"I'm just sad that no one wants to celebrated Thanksgiving with me. It's like they don't care about the holiday. It sucks." Poker sighed.
"What a coincidence!" Jess gasped, "I have no one to be with as well." Realizing the irony, Poker shrugged. He was going to celebrate Thanksgiving with anyone even if it kills him... double time. He decided that it wasn't fair that his enemy can't celebrate holidays with anyone. That was plain cruel.
"You know what?" Poker asked, "We should go to Thanksgiving Town and spend time there." This idea was one thing both rivals could ever agree on. The two foes walked into the streets side by side. Jess stopped to stare at the stars.
"Oh beautiful wishing star," The purple head clasped her small hands together, "I wish we had someone to play with right now!" Poker rolled his eyes. Wishing stars don't exist. Suddenly a shining star came down from the sky and landed in a pumpkin patch below. Jess and Poker ran to where the object fell down and all they saw was a rock.
"A rock? That's it?" Poker was dumb-founded with the brown rock, "The star was actually some rock?" Then they heard a voice.
"Hello..." Someone said telepathically. Jess and Poker started looking around.
"Who's there?" Jess asked.
"I don't know. I'm not from around here and I don't remember my name..."
"How about I give you a name?" Jess bent down, guessing that the person was on the ground, "Tell me what do you like." The voice hesitated before speaking again.
"I like scaring people, listening to jazz, mostly a bass player, and I like to gamble where I come from..." On cue, the boy transformed into his human bat form and flew up in the air smiling wildly.
"Finally!" Poker yelled with pure joy for the first time, "Someone appreciates my music!!!" Jess rolled her eyes.
"Hmmm," The purple head thought for a second, "We'll call you Roulette! I'm Jess and this is Poker. Who are you and where do you come from?"
The voice spoke, "I would be happy to, if Poker would strum a few notes..." Very excited to see who the voice was, Poker immediately got his bass out, put tape on his fingers, and started to create eerie music. Roulette, who you should've guessed as the brown rock, turned a neon purple color, and with his mind, he grabbed Jess close to him. He then started to sing.
Well hello there man and gal
Don't be shy
Step right up, I'm a reasonable guy
Don't be frightened by the look in my eye
I'm just your average evil meteor from outta the sky
As soon as they heard this, Poker wanted to get out of there but it was as if he was controlled by an invisible force. Roulette flashed two red eyes when his glowing hands start to come towards Jess. The hands went inside Jess's ears, looking for a brain.
"Heh, that tickles!" Jess giggled. Roulette seemed to find Jess's head empty without a brain then started to look inside Poker's head. He found a brain but since there was horny, disgusting porn thoughts inside the brain all the time, Roulette didn't want to eat it. These two will do just fine! Roulette smirked.
"Why are you here?" Poker demanded, "What do you want from us?" Jess nodded, although she didn't know how evil Roulette was. In comparing terms, let's just say that in his faraway planet, Roulette would be the Oogie Boogie type. Roulette sighed and then told his situation clearly.
Well, I'm just shy and scared in this place
I'm just a fish outta water from outer space
You can see that the trip has left me tired and drained
So why don't you be a pal...
And bring me some BRAINS!
"Okay!" Jess saluted. Poker dropped his jaw. He couldn't believe that Jess was that dumb. Roulette patted Jess's head and lifted her off the ground and into the street.
"Don't worry, buddy! I'll get you some brains." Jess marched into another kitchen, went to get something and came back. Roulette and Poker wondered what was behind Jess's back. Jess took out a box.
"Ta-DA!" She cheered, "Brains!" Poker slapped his forehead and scowled.
"He said BRAIN, not BRAN you idiot!" Poker shouted. He really didn't want to be near the rock alien. Roulette took the box of Bran flakes and looked at it. He looked at Jess, then back at the box, then stared at the reader who is reading this, and threw away the box.
"I'll show you what a brain looks like..." He said in a somewhat fatherly voice as he took out his reading glasses and encyclopedia to find what he needed. He then pointed to Jess what a brain looks like and where it was located. Jess nodded her head slowly.
"Okay, so how do I find these "brain" thing?" Jess asked. Roulette gave Jess an easy task to start off with.
Go down to your neighbor's place
See the dull expression on his face
you'd be doing him a favor if you brought him to me
He ain't using his brain he's just watching TV!
Jess ran off to get the only person she knew who was watching TV right now. When she left, Roulette made sure that Jess couldn't hear him.
"Poker, that girl Jess is hot!" Roulette moved his hands to form Jess's curvy shape, "But isn't she stupid or something?"
"... Yeah, but not THAT stupid..." Poker whispered, still questioning the purple head's intelligence. Meanwhile, Chicago was watching gangsters gambling on TV.
"C'mon, Lenny!" Chicago pumped his fists, "Show those card sharks who's boss!" At the right moment, Jess bursted into the room and grabbed Chicago.
"Where are we going?" Chicago asked.
"Ummm," Jess had to make up something, "Someone can help you get rid of the talking cards." Chicago thought that playing cards could actually talk. Hearing this news brightened his day.
"Alright, where's the guy?" Chicago eagerly wanted to know. Jess dragged him to where Poker and Roulette was. Chicago stared at the purple glowing rock.
"THAT'S the guy who's curing me?" The red bat said in confusion. Roulette didn't like Chicago's tone, so he used his jelly-like hands to suck out Chicago's brain. Chicago's eyes turned red and he stood still.
"What happened?" Poker asked, dazed at what the heck just happened. The alien gulped the brain down before answering.
"It's a habit. I eat brains, humans turn into dead things called 'zombies'. Also..." Roulette grew a bit bigger, "I grow..." Seconds later, he was hugged by Poker and Jess.
"Why are you hugging me?" Roulette was the one to ask.
"I'm hugging you because I like things that grow." Jess had a smiley face on like this: :3. Poker had the same face on.
"I'm hugging you because you killed Chicago!" Poker said with a girl's glee. Roulette wrapped his hands around the two human like creatures and hugged them.
Wow. Somehow taking over this world is getting to be easy... and fun! The alien smiled evilly, then put Jess down to get another victim.
