...In the car on the way to Orlando, Florida...
"Mom, Lisa won't stop farting!" Bart yelled loudly so the people out side of the car could hear him.
"Bart! Cut that out!" Lisa whined. "Mom, tell him to cut that out!"
"Ok, now the two of you, be quiet! Remember this vacation is for you. You finished elementary school Bart. You only got held back once in 3rd grade and Lisa, your father and I am very proud of you for winning the Math Olympics at your school. Although I am dissapointed with you Bart."
"It's not my fault I have to go to summer school!" Bart hissed back angrily.
"Mom, speaking of being stupid and going to summer school, where's Dad?"
Marge turned her head torward the empty passenger seat. She took her hands off the wheel and covered her face with them.
"Mom!" Bart and Lisa yelled at the same time luckily.
"Oh, I'm sorry kids. Can we pull over for a while?" Marge managed to say through tears.
"Ok." Bart dragged out. Anyone could tell you that Bart looked really upset. Why shouldn't he be? They had stopped in the middle of no where.
Well, actually there was a big rock covering up a sign that said, "You are now in the Springfield Penententary killing zone." "What happened to Homer anyway?"
Lisa gave Bart a what-kind-of-idiot-would-ask-that-question look. She sighed, sat on a large boulder with serveral red marks on it, and got comfortable.
Bart followed to another boulder with more red marks. He traced over the red with his finger and shaped out a picture of his own head.
"That looks alot like my head!" Bart muttered.
"Yea. A little bit but it's probably just a coincidence. Like clouds sort of..." Lisa replied.
That scared Bart because he didn't know Lisa could hear him because he said it quietly so no one could hear over Marge's loud sobs.
"Well," Marge said which also scared Bart,"your father couldn't make it to this vacation. He was to busy."
"With what?"
"Well, I guess I should tell you the story." Marge said and her tears started clearing up. "It begins like this"...back in time 3 days before in The Simpsons kitchen...
