something about him

Disclaimer: I do not own the Simpsons or their characters.

Chapter 1,

"I'm done, I'm done." Lisa shouted gleefully and Bart was walking by when she said this, and figured that there may be a new project to destroy in the honor of brotherly love.

"What do you have there?" Bart asked and Lisa turned around to look at him. Despite the fact that she knew that her nosy 17 year old brother was up to no good, she was too excited to care.

"Do you remember my idea go back and create an accurate log of the history of Springfield and have my book in the library?" Lisa asked and Bart yawned.

"No, but listening to you discuss this has made me want to ignore you, so I'm going to Milhouse's to hang out with the guys." Bart said and Lisa scoffed.

"I still can't believe you are friends with Jimbo Jones and his stupid thugs." Lisa said and Bart laughed.

"That's because you are a nerd and you always will be. After all, they are 5, count 'em, 5 years older with us. And hanging out with a 22 year old is more fun then you will ever know." Bart said, and he laughed once again before walking out of her room and out of their house. Lisa rolled her eyes, even though she was 15, her bother still acted 10. She didn't even get the chance to tell him about her new time machine.

"Oh well, it's his own damn fault for being so stupid. But, where shall I go first? I could document the failures of Sideshow Bob, that could be a funny story to write. Or maybe I can write our family history, which could be a nice little present for mom. Or maybe-" Lisa's train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of her phone.

"Hello? Oh Janie, how are you? You want me to go shopping with you, why I thought I annoyed you? My honest opinion, oh alright. Maybe I could find something for myself too. Why are you laughing? Oh, I can to enjoy shopping. Ugh, hell did not freeze over. Look do you want me to come down or not. Well ok then. I think it will take me about 15 minutes to be there on my bike, so I'll be there soon." Lisa hung up the phone and rubbed the arch of her nose.

...

Lisa entered the mall and she contemplated why she wanted to buy a new outfit. She never cared about clothes recently, but today she did. Perhaps she subconsciously wanted to look nice so that she didn't resemble her old self. Almost like when she went to the Flanders vacation house and she decided to create a different look for herself. There wasn't anything wrong with her blue jeans and her simple shirt, but perhaps she should look a little more edgy like Jimbo, and Shauna. That way she will simply look like the average teen.

"Lisa, do you think that this ultra-miniskirt is long enough for school?" Janie asked when she entered the store and Liza sighed to see the skirt that was the same length as Janie's wrists.

"No, it's not appropriate for school because it doesn't past the fingertip test." Lisa said and Janie pouted.

"But this skirt has a thick liner so guys can't see your underwear, no matter how far you bend over." Janie complained and Lisa rolled her eyes.

"You asked me a question, and I answered it. The shortest skirt you can wear is one that your fingertips can touch." Lisa said and Janie toughed the edge of her skirt.

"There, I can wear them to school." She said with a smile and Lisa shook her head.

"No, that's wrong. Relax your arms, just let them dangle by your side." Lisa said and Janie did so.

"See. The edge of your fingertips is were the skirt has to be. Somewhere between there and the floor." Lisa said and Janie sighed.

"Well, maybe I could wear it for special dates. Those school rules suck." Janie said and Lisa rolled her eyes at this comment.

"Well, sorry if you don't like it. If you want you could try to talk to principal Skinner, but until then, it simply doesn't pass the fingertip test." Lisa said and she heard someone laughing behind her. She turned around to see Jimbo leaning against a rack of clothes.

"Fingertip test? I can perform several fingertip tests if you want." Jimbo said and Lisa sighed.

"That is very inappropriate, and last I heard you were suppose to be hanging out with my brother." Lisa said and Jimbo shrugged.

"I haven't decided yet. I may pop in later, but I may just hang out with you since you two are having such an interesting conversation." Jimbo said and Lisa turned to him.

"You don't have to be an arse all the time. You can just go." Lisa said and Jimbo shrugged and started to walk away.

"Wait! Jimbo, do you think that you could give an opinion on my clothes. I probably want a guys perspective for the impact it will have." Janie said and Jimbo walked back over to them.

"Clothes like that?" Jimbo asked and Janie nodded.

"Well, it will defiantly raise a few guys, but most guys like me will take one look at the skirt and instantly think that you're an easy target with a lot of arrows. If you add a good 3 or 4 inches then you can still show off your legs with less perverted behavior around you." Jimbo said, crossing his arms and Janie looked down at her skirt.

"I bet you're right. I'll go change into something else." she said and Jimbo turned to Lisa who had wide eyes.

"What's with you?" he asked and Lisa blushed slightly when she realized that she was staring.

"I'm sorry. I just didn't expect you to be so... Helpful and honest. I expected you to say sexual to convince her to buy it." Lisa admitted and Jimbo shrugged.

"Well, there was was this person I cared about and she talked to me about all the negative influences women face and at first I didn't care. That is until she brought my little sister into the mix. And she is basically Bart's age and he was a lot like me and that scared me." Jimbo said and Lisa went ahead and smiled.

"Wow, this is a side of you that I'm not use to seeing." Lisa said and Jimbo smiled back.

"Well, I guess I should say that you shouldn't get use to this side. But for some odd reason I want to stay. Perhaps because your brother and Milhouse have been getting a little needy." Jimbo said and Lisa chuckled.

"And to think, before I left the house, Bart was bragging about how I couldn't have fun with a 22 year old." She said and then she blushed.

"Oh, well, that didn't really come out right." Lisa said and Jimbo laughed.

"You're alright Simpson." Jimbo said and Lisa couldn't help but smile out of relief.

"My name is Lisa." she said and Jimbo shrugged.

"I know." he said and then he nudged her.

"Actually, I still get a bad rep at the mall, so why don't you call me James for a while." Jimbo said and Lisa shrugged.

"I'll try. For Janie's sake that is." she said.

"Of course." Jimbo said with a smile that he was trying to hide.
