Hi guys! Here's part two of my story, enjoy! Let's see what's in that box...
Not a peep goes out in the Simpsons home as Lisa slowly unties the red bow, reaches in the bag, and pulls out a small black box. She looks at Nelson but he doesn't give her any hint of what's in there. So she very slowly opens the box and…
"How… What… How?" Lisa says in astonishment and relief because it's no ring at all. But a pure gold, fine chain necklace with a beautiful greenish bluish gem stone in the middle.
All the Simpsons know that Nelson's no rich man, so they're very shocked he could afford such a gift. "How in the world did you afford that man?" Bart says in astonishment.
"Bart, Manners!" Marge says elbowing him.
"Uff!" Bart lets out as soon as his mothers elbow hits his arm.
"That's ok Mrs.S the truth is that, I was saving up every penny I earned form my bike business until I had enough to buy Lisa the best sweet 16 birthday present ever." He tells all of them emotionless.
Nelson re-opened his bike business 'Snot wheels' a few years ago, but he says what he really wants is to be a mechanic. Who knows? Maybe someday he could open up his own business.
"So… Did it work?" Nelson asks.
"If by 'work' you mean OMG I LOVE IT then… YES IT DID!" Lisa shouts, then showers him with hugs and kisses.
He blushes and rubs the back of his head, "I'm glad you liked it."
"Put it on me?" She asks taking off her usual pearl necklace.
Nelson nods, but as he's putting it on her he soon notices there is a problem. "Looks like the clasps kinda stiff Lisa, better get that fixed later."
"That's alright, I'm sure the jeweler will fix it for us."
Despite the stiff clasp Nelson manages to put it on her. "Isn't it beautiful guys?" Lisa asks already knowing the answer.
"You sure know how to make a girl happy, Nelson." Marge says.
"Yah, well, my mom digs this kind of stuff so I thought Lisa would like it too." He says back.
"Pretty…" Maggie says mesmerized by the gem stone.
"Wow, awesome." Bart and Homer both say simultaneously.
"Jinks!" They both say.
"Oh yah! You owe me a coke!" Bart says taunting his dad.
"No YOU owe ME a coke!" Homer corrects.
"Eat my shorts Homer!"
"Why you little…" Homer starts to strangle Bart, and Marge has to intervene.
"Stop it you two! Not on Lisa's birthday!" She says pulling them apart. "You both are grown men! I thought guys would stop this behavior when Bart was 16!"
Nelson, Lisa, and Maggie start to crack up at the scene of the tree fighting.
"What?" Marge says with her eyes blazing.
"It's just so funny!" Lisa says still laughing,
"Well I think it's sad." Marge says crossing her arms.
Now all of us begin to laugh, even Marge.
After about five minutes of trying to compose ourselves Marge says "I think it's about time we go to bed. You kids have school tomorrow and your dad has work."
"Can Nelson sleep over?" Lisa asks
"Sure." Marge answers.
Bart, Lisa, and Maggie make their way up stairs, but right when Nelson's about to reach the stairs Homer grabs him by the collar, "Don't try anything boy, because if you do, you'll have to answer to me." he says in a threatening tone.
"Don't worry Mr.S I wouldn't." Nelson says gulping hard.
"You better not." Then he lets Nelson go and he quickly makes his way up stairs, taking a deep breath as he reaches the top.
Man! What's up with him? Nelson wonders. He never admitted it but, Homer always kinda freaked him out, he's usually drunk and has always been a moron so you could never know what might do next. While thinking these things Nelson's on his way to Bart's room to say good night, "Good night man." he says.
"Dude aren't you gonna sleep here?" Bart asks lying on his bed.
"Naw, I'll crash in Lis's room."
"Dad won't like it." Bart warns him.
"No dude, we're cool." Nelson reassures him.
"Whatever man. Good night."
"Good night." Nelson echoes. Remember, Nelson thinks to himself, I'm not gonna try anything, just sleep…
