Another Electric Company fic I want to try! :) I promise it'll be as good as the last one. Or even better! ;)

JAS: Well, the last new Electric Company episode was March 28, 2011. And it's now January 30, 2013. So I'd say it's cancelled. :P

P.S. In my last series, Lisa miraculously got her memories back by being panicked over Hector. So...Yeaahh...Kinda random, but it works. ;)

Disclaimer: Don't own TEC, deal with it. :P

Lisa was so excited. It'd been a year since she'd been home. And now she was back! She couldn't wait to see her parents, Jessica, Keith, Marcus, and especially Hector. Her secret crush for so many years. And she'd still never told him. But now, after being away from him for so long, she decided it was time.

Lisa strolled down the sidewalk looking at all the new shops that had opened when she wasn't around. Everything looked familiar, and yet so different at the same time. But to her delight, the Electric Diner was still there.

Her excitement just grew ten times stronger. Hector. He was so close. Lisa pondered whether to bolt into the diner and hug everyone by surprise. Or maybe just walk in casually, so everyone else could hug her first. She was just about to decide on the first option when she spotted Hector through the window.

Her heart did a few somersaults before quieting down. He looked possibly even cuter than he had before she left. Sure, she'd seen him through the Skeleckian screen a few times, but in person was just much more better. Lisa turned to run into the diner, but something else caught her eye. A girl sat across the counter. She looked tall and pretty, and much more stylish than Lisa. She reached over the counter, and her and Hector's lips met in an affectionate kiss. Lisa could've sworn her heart stopped beating at that moment. No. NO.

"LISA!" A voice from the doorway called. It was Jessica. And she held out her arms expectantly to hug her old friend. But Lisa wasn't in the mood for hugs. She whirled and dashed down the street to her apartment. That kiss seared permanently in her mind.

Without so much as a greeting to her parents, she ran through the apartment door and into her bedroom. Lisa plopped down on her bed. She knew it was immature of her, but she started to cry. Tears of devastation rolled down her cheeks. How could he? Lisa felt so betrayed, so abandoned. How could he?

"Lisa?" Her mother opened the door. "Oh it's so good to see you! How was your trip? Did you-" She stopped when she saw that her daughter was crying.

She hurried to her daughter's side and hugged her. "Oh Lisa, what's wrong?" Then the thought struck her. "Oh dear, you saw her, didn't you? Hector's girlfriend."

Lisa began to sob louder when she heard it out loud. Hector's girlfriend. She'd always dreamed she would one day gain that title. But in the year she was away, it had been given to someone else. Another girl. A girl more Hector'sspeed.

"Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry." Her mother murmured.

Jessica couldn't be more angry. Lisa had ran away. From her. And she knew the reason why. She turned to glare at Hector and his girlfriend, Karen Clarke. Jess couldn't believe the nerve of Hector. She couldn't believe he would just abandon his feelings for Lisa and gain feelings for that-that-witch. Jess never liked Karen. And she never would. Karen's long curly auburn hair and sparkling green eyes may give her the look of a princess. But Jess could see through all of that. She'd seen Karen act cruel. Especially to more younger children. She had to hold her tongue to keep from screaming at her after she'd told off Marcus once. Good thing Marcus was away. Then she wouldn't have that much of an urge to kill Karen. Jessica had tried to tell Hector, but he didn't believe her. He'd rather believe a pretty face than his own sister. Something was definitely not right.

"Jess, what's wrong?" Keith asked.

Jessica turned and sat back down in her booth with Keith. She'd always liked Keith. And they'd become closer friends every year. Jess was in no hurry. She knew he liked her back. But it was time to get down to business. "I just saw Lisa outside." She explained. "And she ran off."

"Oh," Keith glanced at Karen. "But it's not Karen's fault, you know. She and Hector couldn't help getting together. It was just meant to happen."

"I don't care." Jessica spat. "I don't trust her."

Keith sighed. "Jess, you've got to get over her. She's not evil or anything. Or worse, a prankster. Come on. She's not bad. It's just that she happens to like Hector and Hector happens to like her back."

"But what about Lisa?" Jess frowned. "What about her feelings for Hector. I don't think Hector even has feelings for her, anymore. She must be heartbroken. Keith, how would you feel if you went off somewhere. And when you came back, I just suddenly had a boyfriend?"

"Uh-"

"Well that's how Lisa feels!" Jessica interrupted. "And those feelings aren't going to go away anytime soon."

"You're right." Keith admitted. Funny, he never seemed to win any arguments with her. "You go talk to Lisa. I'll go get Hector."

Jess smiled. "Thanks Keith." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. Then ran off for Lisa's apartment building.

"Hi, Mrs. Heffenbacher? Is Lisa there?" Jessica asked when Lisa's mother answered the door.

She smiled sadly. "She's in her room. She's upset because-well, you probably already know."

Jess nodded. "I'm going to talk to her. Don't worry. I'll fix this."

Mrs. Heffenbacher led her to Lisa's door. 'Thank you', Jess mouthed. Lisa's mother nodded and left her alone.

Jessica took a deep breath and knocked softly on Lisa's bedroom door. "Lisa? Are you in there?" She asked.

There was a sad sniffle. "Yes. What do you want?"

"Can I talk to you?" Jess asked.

"Sure, come inside, if you want." Lisa replied.

Jess opened the door. Lisa sat on her bed. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. In her hands was a picture of her and Hector having fun together on a carnival ride. It seemed it was taking all of Lisa's willpower not to start bawling.

"Lisa, it's going to be fine." Jessica reassured her. "I'm sure Hector still has feelings for you."

"No, he doesn't." Lisa sounded so sure of herself. "He looked so happy with that-that girl. I don't want to ruin it for him."

"It's not fair!" Jess exploded. "You should be in that girl's place. You care much more about Hector than she ever will! And I'll say that to her face if you want me to!"

"That's all right, Jessica." Lisa smiled. She liked Jess's overreacted protectiveness. It was something she'd always liked about her personality. "You don't have to do that for me. I'll manage alone."

"But Lisa-" Jess stopped when she saw Lisa go back to mourning over her and Hector. Jessica knew she wanted to be alone. "Okay," Jess gave in, "Bye Lisa. See ya soon. I hope." And she left her bedroom.

"Everything's working perfectly." Francine smiled, from her place in the trees. She'd seen Lisa break down through her binoculars. And she knew she was upset over Hector and Karen. Her plan was ingenious.

Francine pulled out her phone. "Karen, it's time for stage two." She ordered. "And make it interesting." She snapped her phone shut, uttering an evil laugh she'd waited so long to make.

MUAHAHAHAHA! I'm so good at being bad. X] Okay, this story sooo cannot go on without prankster influence. ;) So keep reading to see what happens next!
