BFFs Chapter 1
"Dad, I don't see why we have to move to this Springfield place when our old house was in good working condition," Louise complained as she and her family were driving to Springfield. "We need a new place to open our business," Bob explained. "We had three new burger joints opened right next to our restaurant, so we were losing business. Even Tim and Mort ditched us," Bob further explained. "Well, I still don't like it," Louise murmured as she slumped in the back seat of the family station wagon.
"Come on, Louise," Gene, her brother, was trying to tell her. "You should focus on the positives of us moving. For example, I feel as though I can share my music with the world." "Gene, playing various pitched farting noises from your synthesizer is not a form of music. It's like Daft Punk or Skrillex", Louise countered. "Hey! Don't make fun of Skrillex, young lady," Linda scolded. "Yeah, coming from 'Brittany Spears without Auto Tune Impersonator of the Year". I mean these techno artists are not even musicians," Louise once again countered.
"Louise, this is our opportunity to make friends", Tina said. "I already have friends, but there back home. I mean, how the hell am I going to make friends when I'm…a little bit of a… psychopath," Louise admitted while scratching her bunny hat and sporting a blush on her face. "Well, that's true," Bob said while laughing slightly. "Bob!" Linda once again scolded. "What? She admitted it, and it is kind of true," Bob said as he was trying to defend himself. As he was about to say more, Gene looked out the window, and shouted "We're here".
Everyone got out of the station wagon, and got their luggage out of the suitcase. Louise dropped one of her suitcases, and some of the things spilled out of there. Her family was already in their new home. Just then, she noticed a new pair of hands helping her put some of her things back in the suitcase. The girl had spiky hair, wore a red dress, and wore a necklace made out of most likely fake white pearls. Louise looked up at her and smiled.
"Hey, thanks. I don't like it when things like this happens to any of my things," Louise said. "Not a problem, you seem to have nice things, and it would be a shame if this stuff were to be ruined," the girl replied. "What's your name?" Louise asked with genuine interest, and not with a drop of malice. "My name is Lisa Simpson. What's your name?" Lisa replied and then asked due to her own curiosity. "My name's Louise. Louise Belcher," Louise replied before noticing Lisa laughing a little bit. When Lisa saw Louise staring at her, Lisa stopped and blushed a little bit. "Sorry about laughing," Lisa said. Louise just brushed it off. "It's alright. It is kind of a dumb name, and I used to get laughed at by some people about it back in my old school," Louise explained.
"I'm not all that popular in my school, either. Nobody in this town really likes a nerd. Basically, 95% of this town is full of idiots," Lisa told Louise. "Well, not to brag, but I'm actually very smart for my age," Louise said with an air of confidence. Lisa smirked a little as she came up with a test for Louise. "Oh yeah, well do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?" Lisa asked, hoping that she would say yes. "Hell yeah, bring it on!" Louise shouted in her usual shouting voice.
"Okay, question number one; when succinylcholine is injected into the body, how long does it take to leave the blood stream, and does it or does it not stay longer in urine than blood?" Lisa asked while crossing her arms, waiting for Louise to answer. "Succinylcholine lasts approximately 90 seconds in the blood stream, and yes, urine can keep succinylcholine in longer than blood. Succinylcholine leaves behind remnants of itself in the blood, which scientists in Sweden have come up with a way of finding them. Succinylcholine is one third of the substance used to execute prisoners on death row, and is used as an anesthetic in small doses," Louise explained, while answering other questions leaving Lisa dumbfounded.
"Wow! That was absolutely correct. And you answered the question I was going to ask you next!" Lisa said excitedly. "Like I said, I'm very smart for my age," Louise said while pointing to her head, showing off her brain power. Before Lisa could respond, Louise heard her parents yelling at her. "Louise, hurry up so we can pack your stuff into your new room," her Mom yelled. "Well, I'll see you around Lisa," Louise said as she waved Lisa goodbye. Lisa then pointed next door. "You can come visit me anytime. I live next door. See you later, Louise," Lisa said as she went back to her house.
Louise was thinking long and hard about what just happened as she was helping her mom pack her things into her new room. 'Wow, I think I actually made an actual friend, and not someone I just hang out with so they can help me with my crazy plans,' Louise thought. As Louise got into bed, she got a big smile on her face. 'Maybe living here won't be so bad after all."
