The Bartman Files
Right, this is a collection of stories regarding bartman, Bart's superhero identity, and houseboy (milhouse) so, I will refer to them as bartman and houseboy, apart from scenes where this wouldn't make sense, e.g. at home, school etc. new chapters may be disrupted by school and homework, so be patient. Oh-and this is my first story, so bear this in mind when reviewing. Now- on with the story!
Chapter 1: a case in squishee: part 1
Apu was working late. Again. Suddenly the door swished open and shut again. "Hello what can I do for AARRGHH!" SMASH! Thump! The doors swished open and shut. Pools of red and blue liquid spread out from behind the counter…
"This is Kent Brockman reporting live from..." 'Bor-ing!' thought Bart as the family sat down in front of the TV. 'why couldn't we go to krusty burger? The're having that free krusty figurine giveaway right now and...' Suddenly, something Kent said grabbed his attention...
"-sman, Apu whajamacallit, was reported missing this morning by two would-be shoplifters"
' WHA?' Bart was shocked- how did this happen? And why?
"He was apparently on his usual shift when he disappeared between 9 and9:30 AM. If anybody knows anything, we implore you to contact the police. Earlier, we…"
' huh! As if chief Wiggam could crack this case! This looks like a job for.. BARTMAN!'
One costume change and signaling later, Bartman and Houseboy were arriving at the scene of the easily slipped inside the Qwik-E-Mart and started to take in the scene before them. Pools of red and blue squisee dripped from the smashed machine. A single set of footprints led towards the counter through the pool of popular drink, but not away, and there were some strange drag marks - a thick line either side of the footprints. They were absolutely stumped.
"What on earth happened?" wondered Bartman out loud "This doesn't make any sense!"
"I know," agreed Houseboy, "it's like..errr…ummmm…."
"It's like some guy walking with a suitcase kidnapped Apu, broke the machine and then didn't bother to walk back and disappeared!" interrupted Bartman.
"Let's sleep on it! That always works in the movies! One of us has a weird dream which gives them a big clue or idea, which allows them to solve the whole thing!" suggested Houseboy.
"Oh yeah! That always works! Lets give it a go!" exclaimed Bartman. The two friends split up, heading to their homes. Bart climbed the tree and slipped into his bedroom through the window. Milhouse, however, watched some TV. It turned out that Apu had a distant relative, who had been kicked out of work at a Shelbyville kwik-e-mart, and had been turned down by Apu to work at his. He was coming to take over the kwik-e-mart until Apu was was going to be an interview with him, but he was discovered and sent to bed before he could see the man. Bart, however, had a much more nasty night in store….
Bart turned over in bed. He just couldn't get to sleep. Suddenly, a floorboard creaked close by. He Froze! After a while, he relaxed again. It was probably just the cat. Besides, why – The intruder pounced!
To be continued….
WOW! What a cliffhanger, eh? I know it's a bit short, but this is my first go. Part 2 is coming soon, so in the meantime, please review!
