Milhouse Gets A Step-Father

That's probably the worst title I ever thought of XD I hope you like this, it took me a while to get the story straight, and I was testing the theory of "Writing Better Stories When Listening To Music" so I was listening to my iPod while writing this. I'm just testing the theory out though so it might not work. Here's good luck to that theory! Please review and let me know what you think.

Milhouse Gets A Step-Father

Chapter 1 – Aw, I Was Hoping We Won The Lottery

Milhouse Van Houten came home from school seeing his mother on the phone as she usually was. Probably arguing with his father again. But on closer inspection, he found that she looked happy, she normally doesn't look happy talking to Dad.

He walked into the kitchen seeing his mother crying, smiling and gently hopping. "Yes! Yes! Yes! You made me the happiest woman on earth! Thank you so much!" She paused for a second, then her smile slightly faded, she was still smiling, but not as much as a second before. "Oh, yeah, him. I'll be sure to tell him…"

Can't be Dad on the phone then, thought Milhouse, Must be her boss giving her a promotion or something

After a few more minutes of talking, she hung up the phone and turned to Milhouse. "Son, I have excellent news."

"You got a promotion? You won the lottery?"

"As you know, Jack and I have been dating for a while now…"

Milhouse gulped. His heart sank like a stone. He knew what she was going to say…

"Well, we're…" Luanne Van Houten sighed happily, "we're getting married, Milhouse."

Milhouse felt like being sick. He hated Jack Burtin. Every time he came over to the house he would give him noogies and make him run around the house several times, shouting at him along the way, and calling him a weakling.

"Mom, please don't marry him, I'll do chores, I'll give you all of my allowance, I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT!"

"Don't worry, Milhouse." Said Luanne. "You and Jack are going to be great friends."

"No we're not! No we're not!" Milhouse kneeled down before his mother. "Please, please!"

"Sorry, Milhouse, but that's the way it is. Now get up and do your homework."

The next day at school Milhouse told Bart his mother was getting remarried to her boyfriend.

"Well, that's a good thing, ain't it?" said Bart. "I mean, is he strong?"

"Yes."

"Is he rich?"

"Yes."

"Does he like you?"

"No."

"Oh, I see the problem," Bart scratched his chin. "If he's strong, rich, and likes you, he'd be a better dad then your real Dad." He continued to scratch his chin. "We have to make him like you."

"No, Bart, no crazy schemes, no more of those." He hung his head and shed a small tear. "I guess I'm going to have to live with the fact that my mother's getting remarried to a jerk who hates me."

"It could be worse." Said Bart.

"How worse?"

"She could be getting remarried to a murderous jerk that hates you."

"Yeah, I guess you're right…"
