She ran, ran like her life depended on it, but he still followed close behind her, would this chase ever end? Are they destined to play this game of cat and mouse forever? Well Lisa was exaggerating a bit, Millhouse had stopped chasing her several times to take a breath or have a drink of water

"Time out! Time out!" Millhouse called desperately "I need to pee!"

"Pee then so I can be rid of you!" she called over her shoulder

"C'mon Lisa don't say it like that" he whined, Lisa made no move to reply she just ran all the way home while considering taking legal action just as she had her own brother four years ago.

Bart sighed as he entered his house, it had been a long day of detention made longer by the fact that Nelson was no longer speaking to him, he trudged along towards the couch and collapsed on it face first.

"Welcome back from detention Bart" Lisa told him as she walked into the room

"Whatever" Bart gave her a muffled grunt in recognition

"What's wrong?" Lisa asked in concern "arm cramps?"

"Mmm no" Bart answered dejectedly "Nelson's not talking to me"

"Why?" Lisa asked remembering what happened earlier at recess

"If I knew, would I actually look upset?" Bart asked her angrily as he sat up straight

"Hmm maybe it's the "paint incident"?" she suggested

"I dunno Nelson doesn't get so upset over little things like that" Bart frowned

"Little?!" Lisa scoffed " Martin's still cleaning the paint out of his ears!"

"Lisa, Nelson is my best friend I know what little is to him" Bart stated somewhat proudly

"Then how come you don't know why he's not talking to you?" Lisa asked smugly, Bart didn't answer her he could feel all the air deflating from his head, and he was so sure a second ago that he knew Nelson the best

"Maybe I don't know him as well as I thought" Bart voiced his thoughts

"I heard the direct approach is always best" Lisa suggested

"Bah, you're not good for nothing" he hopped off the couch and headed upstairs

"That's grammatically incorrect!" Lisa huffed angrily stamping her feet

"You're grammatically incorrect" he called from the top of the steps

"aaaaargggggghhhh!!!" Lisa screamed in frustration.

--

That night Nelson roamed the streets like a stray tom cat, he desperately wanted to see Bart, but at the same time he didn't want to, after all how can he face Bart being the way he was, what if Bart found out what was "ailing" him, then what? Live his worst nightmare? No he'd rather not

If I had more money honey would you love me love me love me if I wasn't just somebody like me…Nelson's mobile rang, vibrating in his pants pocket asking to be picked up, Nelson answered his mobile with a gruff

"Who the hell is it?"

"I thought you had caller I D" Bart's voice came flooding into Nelsons ear, Nelson could feel the tips of his ears burning up

"What do you want Simpson?" Nelson stuttered into the phone not as intimidatingly as he had hoped

"I want you to tell me why you're avoiding me!" Bart replied angrily

"I'm not" Nelson protested unconvincingly

"Really?" Bart asked suspiciously

"Yeah" Nelson lied

"Then you'll come watch me photoshop a bunch of pictures of Skinner and Chalmers tomorrow?"

"Cant!" Nelson stated uncomfortably

"Why?" Bart asked in a tone that suggested the answer had better be good

"er… " Nelson thought wildly of an excuse " well my mom…"

"Your mom? What about her?"

"My mom says …umm?"

"Says what?"

"She says you're a bad influence for me"

A long silence hung after that

"…. Your moms a stripper" Bart said in a hushed tone

"So?!" Nelson barked "just cause she's a stripper doesn't mean she ain't got not no morals!"

"Oh yeah, I remember now, your mom is a woman of many morals and a stripper.." Bart said sarcastically

"Don't be a smart ass Simpson" Nelson growled

"Well I guess I'll be seeing you and your mother at church this Sunday" Bart retorted before hanging up, Nelson frowned as he shoved his mobile into his back pocket, his mom never goes to church, I guess Bart will have the last "haw haw" this Sunday.

Lisa sat in the living room flipping through a preteen magazine; "oh" she thought "Andy from the Balognas brothers is so cute"

"Bart" she called to her brother who was stamping down the stairs "don't you think Andy is adorable?" she cooed absolutely love stricken as she flashed him the picture of the curly haired tween

"Ick! You could do a lot better" Bart told her after a moment of inspection "I mean what's with the hair?"

"Well I believe…" she started dreamily

"Forget about what you believe!" he snapped remembering why he was angry in the first place "not only are you grammatically incorrect..."

"I am not..." Lisa protested

"…But your advice is horrible" Bart continued regardless "and since I still don't know why Nelson is mad at me…" he pulled the magazine out of her grasp "I'm gonna take revenge all over you hubby's face!"

"Leave my hubby out of this!" Lisa shouted

"Marge, Lisa has a hubby!" shouted Homer wildly, who just happened to be passing by with a can of Duff Beer in hand

"Oh No! Lisa's too young to have a hubby!" Marge rushed into the living room oven mitts still on

"Mom!" Lisa wailed

"Ha ha take that Lis!" Bart laughed as he threw the magazine into the fireplace

"Whoot!" Homer and Maggie cheered as they watched the magazine quickly catch fire and turn into cinders (FYI Maggie was always there she just doesn't say anything) and Marge let out a croaky groan.

--

Nelson held his breath as he knocked at his Mothers door that Sunday, he of course was already dressed in his Sunday's best, Nelson was very religious although he didn't look it, not religious to the point that he wouldn't lie, cheat, or steal only to the point that he could crack open the bible every once in a while and hope that all the lines talking about immoral women burning in hell weren't talking about his mother.

Nelson knocked again this time impatiently, he couldn't let Bart find out why he was avoiding him; he cared about Bart way too much to even risk losing him.

"Mom" he called out frustratedly "Aren't you coming?"

"wha? Coming where?" She asked sleepily from the other side of the door

"Um, you know to… to church" Nelson managed to reply feeling foolish

"Haw haw " She laughed and he was pretty sure pointing at him to, lucky for him he was on the other side of the door

"So is that a yes?" Nelson asked weakly

"It's a no, now let mama sleep" she replied gruffly, he could hear the springs of her mattress squeak as she rolled over.

"Aw c'mon Ma" Nelson begged

"Don't make me come out there Nelson!" his mom warned

"To go to church?" Nelson asked hopefully

"To kick your ass" She replied angrily

"Fine" he sighed, Bart is never gonna let me live this one down he thought bitterly.

---------------------------

"Mom, Homer c'mon we'll be late for church!" Bart called as adjusted his tie

"We're coming sweetie" Marge assured him as she tied a pink ribbon onto Maggie's hair, Homer glared at Bart suspiciously as he lumbered down the stairs

"Why are you so excited about church, Boy?" Homer asked skeptically "You'd better not be up to something"

"Dad is right" Lisa nodded "you've never been excited about religion before"

"Don't discourage him" Marge said sternly as she headed towards the car with little Maggie in tow, Bart grinned widely at Homer and Lisa, sending a shiver down their spines, before he followed after his mother cheerfully.

Lisa and Homer exchanged worried looks, sighed then shuffled slowly to the car where Bart sitting erect on the seat a dark shadow covering his eyes. homer let out a little sob as he started the car

"Hurry up Homer we've got preaching to listen to" Bart said eerily

" aughuhuhuhuhu" Homer wailed loudly "why did i have to have Satan for a son?!"
