Chapter 2: A New Roommate
"One more adjustment and done!" Lisa shouted as she screwed the last bolt in. "Try moving your arm." Jenny moved her arm back and forth. Then she turned it into a sword, a morning star, an electric claw, a laser cannon, and finally the pencil sharpener Sheldon made for her. Her arm was completely fixed.
"So." Lisa said. "What exactly brought you here to this dimension?"
"I was fighting an evil robot named Vexus and she kicked me into a portal to here."
"What's your hometown like?" Lisa asked.
"You mean Tremorton? It's pretty okay." Jenny said. "I have three friends; Sheldon, Brad and his little brother Tuck. And I live in a big house with my mom. I mean, the woman who built me."
"You were built by a woman?" Lisa asked excitedly
"Yep. She built me and my eight sisters."
"That's so cool."
"Your turn. Tell me about yourself." Jenny said.
"Lisa gulped. "Well, this town is called Springfield. I have a brother name Bart and a baby sister named Maggie."
"They sound very cool." Jenny said.
"Yeah…sure. Hey can I get you anything?
"Some motor oil would be nice." Jenny said.
"Stay right here. I'll be right back."
Lisa came out of her room to look for motor oil.
"There should be some in the garage." Lisa thought. She went into the garage and after some searching, found a whole canister of motor oil. But just as was about to walk off with it, her dad, Homer Simpson, came in.
"Lisa?" He said. "What are you doing with my motor oil?"
"Ummm….I need it for a project." She said.
"Aren't you doing a diorama of photo sinuses?
"First off, it's pronounced photosynthesis. Second, you're right. I lied. I need this motor oil because….I was thirsty!"
"What the!? Kids don't drink motor oil!"
"We sure do."
Homer rubbed his chin a little. "Alright. Prove it!"
Lisa stammered at first. Then looked Homer straight in the eye and took a sip. Homer said nothing but nodded and left the room. Once he was out of ear shot, Lisa gagged and spit the oil out. She continued to gag all the way back to her room.
"Wow!" Jenny said. "I didn't know humans drank motor oil too."
"We don't!" Lisa shouted, still trying to get the taste of oil out of her mouth.
After dinner, Lisa rushed right back to her room and she and Jenny talked for a while. When it was time for bed, Jenny took a connectable charger and plug it into an outlet.
"You're welcome to stay here until you can find a way home, Jenny." Lisa said. "Though I should warn you it's probably best that you stay hidden. Springfield isn't exactly friendly toward strangers.
"I got it." Jenny said. "Good night, Lisa."
"Good night, Jenny."
The both fell asleep within the hour.
