Chapter 4: The Simpsons, come Die with Me (Maggie part 1)
Maggie worried and worried about how she was going to explain to her family why she was bringing the boy home they had forbade her to befriend. She couldn't exactly tell Gino what her problem was, but she had to do something. Maggie tossed and turned and barely got any sleep, thankfully it was a Friday night so there was no school to get up for.
When Maggie woke up her eyes were drawn to her dresser where there were some favourite dolls from her infancy. 'OMG' Maggie thought to herself 'I've got it.' Maggie felt like she was walking on air as she descended the staircase and wandered towards the kitchen to grab some breakfast.
Marge was in the kitchen making pancakes for Homer, he could swallow them quicker than Marge could make them!
"Maggie, I hope you aren't too upset with us…" Marge tentatively asked
"It's for your own safety" Marge continued.
"Don't worry about it Mom, you were right"
Maggie had spent a lifetime studying her mother and she knew that little phrase "you were right" would give Maggie a stress free day. She ate her breakfast then excused herself, by telling her parents she had homework to do and a science project to plan.
Maggie's real plan was so simple it had to succeed but first she had to contact Gino to fill him in on his role. This would be fantastic, much more imaginative than anything Bart had pulled off.
Maggie called Gino and asked him to meet her in the library later that day to work out some details. Gino was more than happy to meet Maggie, all he had planned was avoiding his parents for two days so this suited him just fine.
When Gino arrived at the Library he searched for Maggie but couldn't find her and yelling out her name or calling her wasn't allowed in the Library. Gino decided to approach his current problem by pretending he was playing hide and seek. He found Maggie in the math and science section engrossed in a book of advanced algebra, obvious really. He took the seat next to her and perused the pile of books in front of Maggie nothing caught his interest. Maggie was thrilled to see Gino and followed him instantly when he motioned to her to take a break outside where they could chat without being disturbed or disturbing anyone else.
They grabbed some Coke from a vending machine and found a bench to sit on. There Maggie outlined her plan to Gino who seemed a little hesitant about it all. Maggie spoke quickly explaining why her idea would be so much fun without actually revealing her motivation. Gino laughed and agreed to go along with her plan, at least it wouldn't be boring.
"I'll help, of course" Maggie offered
"Will you be able to obtain all the items we need?" Gino asked doubtfully
"Sure come on over to my house and we'll make a start then sneak you back in the house for dinner" Maggie said confidently
The two friends walked to Maggie's home which was empty. Homer was at work, putting the entire population of Springfield at risk, Marge was out food shopping since they had a guest tonight and Bart was indulging in a spot of underage drinking with his friends. Maggie knew they had a couple of hours to prepare.
The first part was pretty simple, locate and appropriate the correct clothing, Maggie located and Gino was sent to a nearby yard to steal the items from a washing line.
Maggie put a big tick at the top of her list.
"We'll need to do something about your hair" Maggie informed her friend
"Whatever you think is required" Gino responded.
Gino and Maggie disappeared into the bathroom for over an hour while the transformation took place. When they both emerged from the bathroom Gino was unrecognisable.
