The Simpsons Meet the Griffins

Chapter 1: Quahog Vacation

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" rang the school bell.

"Yes," Bart Simpson said to himself.

Bart put down the chalk he was using to write his usual after school sentences and ran out the door on his skateboard.

Following his usual route, he skated down the road and past his dad's car.

He saw the glowing green blur of plutonium hit the bottom of his board.

He passed up Barney Gumble and Chief Wiggum right into the traffic.

Soon, Bart saw his driveway.

There goes Homer, parking the car, he thought.

He skated off the jump he made, right on top of his dad's car.

"D'oh!" Homer said.

He flipped off his skateboard and ran to the living room couch to watch TV with the rest of the family.

After Bart sat down, Lisa, his sister, sat too, then Marge, his mom, Maggie, his other sister, and Homer.

"School, eat my shorts!" Bart said.

"Bart," Lisa began, "don't get too excited. Summer's only three months long. Besides, school is the start to a successful future."

"Yeah, yeah, Lis," Bart replied, "Whatever."

"Bart, your sister makes a good point," Marge joined the conversation, "Right, Homey?"

Homer was on the couch drinking Duff brand beer.

"Bart, listen to your mother," Homer said, not paying attention.

Marge glared at him.

Later that evening, as the Simpson family was eating dinner, Homer made an announcement.

"Alright guys, I've got great news," he started, "I signed us up for a vacation program where we go to share some random family's house for a week!"

"Oh, man!" Bart and Lisa said simultaneously.

"We have to share a house with some family?" Bart asked.

"Homer, how come you didn't tell us you signed us up for this?" Marge questioned.

"Hmmm," thought Homer.

Flash back to three weeks ago at Moe's.

"Homer, I think you've had enough to drink," Moe said.

"I tells you when I's done drinkin'," Homer said drunkenly.

"Yeah," Moe said, "Um-I think you should go."

"Fine! I'll go back home where I'm wanted," Homer said, completely drunk.

He ran into a wall three times.

"Homer, the door's over there," Lenny pointed out.

"I (burp) knew that," Homer replied.

As he stepped outside, a man in a suit came up to him.

"Hello, sir. I'm John Morris, from the John Morris Vacation Company," John Morris said, "I want to offer you a bad trip where you'll fly coach to a town you've never heard of to spend a week with a dysfunctional family in their house."

"Sounds interesting," Homer said, not knowing what he's talking about.

"Great!" John exclaimed, "I'll just need you to sign this form of registration."

"Sure," Homer said, "I'd love a million dollars.

As Homer walked away, John said to himself, "This is why I love bars."

I must've been drunk, Homer thought, for he had no recollection of this.

"I wanted it to be a surprise," he lied.

"So where are we going?" Bart asked.

"Quahog!" Homer said in that tone of voice that parents use to get little kids excited.

"Qua-what?" Marge asked.

"A quahog is a type of clam," Lisa stated.

"This says it's a city in Rhode Island," Marge said as she took the brochure from Homer.

"Great, Rhode Island, home of nothing," Bart said sarcastically.

Maggie just sucked on her binky.
