Chapter 6: Nature Lisa
Lisa was sitting on an old tree stump, playing her saxophone. It was nice to be able to practice without fear of being told to "cut out that racket."
"Well, I'm out of Springfield but now what should I do?" Lisa thought. A bird calling for a mate interrupted her but she looked towards it direction, she saw it was a mother robin feeding her young.
"Ahhh!"
Lisa was enamored. She looked all around her. Bees were pollinating the flowers. A chipmunk sitting on a tree was munching on a acorn. A elk's somewhat disturbing mating call could be heard from a distance.
"Nature is so beautiful!" Lisa exclaimed. "That's it! I'll live in the wild! Away from people and their consumerism." Lisa's excitement was short-lived as her stomach grumbled almost as loud as the elk call.
"He he. I guess the first thing I should do is forage for breakfast." Lisa said sheepishly. She went into the woods and looked for bushes with berries on them. After some searching, she found one with what looked like blackberries on it. She picked a few and began eating them.
"That was delicious. But now I'll need something to wash those berries down with." Lisa with further in the woods and found a stream with clean, clear water. Lisa cupped her hands in the water and scooped some out of the stream.
"That's weird." Lisa said. "This water kinda taste funny." Lisa looked at the stream and was horrified to see it had turned a sickly green color. Her eyes followed the opposite of the stream and pinpointed the all-too-familiar sight of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
"Great. Even when I'm outside of it, Springfield still haunts me." All of a sudden, Lisa felt a sharp pain in her stomach. "Oww! Maybe those blackberries weren't blackberries at all." Lisa held her stomach tight. "How could this get any worse? Lisa's answer came in the form of a low growl coming up from behind. Lisa turned around and saw a mountain lion ready to pounce.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Lisa ran away as fast as she could, her mind in full panic mode, Lisa instinctively ducked into a rabbit just as the wildcat gave chase. Lisa waited for the mountain lion to pass and after several minutes, climbed back out. Her stomach pains were still there.
"Maybe living in nature isn't such a good idea after all." Lisa groaned. After a few seconds, Lisa stomped her foot. "No! I'm no longer a Simpsons and I'm not going to quit while I'm ahead. I'll survive in the wild if it kills me!
...
It was nighttime. Lisa was laying in a cave, cuts and bruises all over her body, her dress in tatters and her feet bare. Her stomach still hurt.
"That's it. Tomorrow I integrate back into society.
