It was a bright morning in the Simpsons home, and Lisa and Bart Simpson were rather very chipper about going to school. Marge and Homer was surprised, yet impressed, to see their son in good spirits about school, and wondered why.

"Mom, don't you remember? The drama club is holding auditions for the school musical!" Lisa reminded Marge.

"And I'm auditioning for the villain role of Papa Ge, sly demon of death!" Bart said merrily before laughing villainously. "I heard he gets to torture Ti Moune into choosing her own life over a rich boy. And I'm curious to see who's gonna be Ti Moune."

"I'm hoping to get Ti Moune myself." Lisa told her family. "My hard work at voice lessons, as well me studying the song and the dance needed for the auditions have really paid off!"

"Now Lisa, don't get your hopes too high for getting the lead." Marge reminded her older daughter while feeding Maggie.

"I know, mom." Lisa replied. All I am hoping for is a part where I can both sing and act, or at least a supporting role that has both."

"Lisa, there are many kids out there who beg me to give them your performing skills." Homer assured Lisa. "But damn those migraines they give me. Chill pills need to exist.

Suddenly, the school bus came and Otto honked his horn.

"Gotta go!" Lisa said.

"Good luck, kids!" Marge called out the door. She then turned to Homer.

"Homie, as soon as work's over can you pick up the kids from school?" She asked him. "I have to see Patty and Selma."

"Anything for you and the kids." Homer promised. He then muttered under his breath, "It's better than long boring talks with the Wicked Bitches of the North."
