Hi everybody! Chapter seven! But before you read it I would like to say that I'm going on vacation soon and that I'll continue the story when I get back from it (which will be around January of 2013). So I'll be a little late posting chapter 8. Nevertheless I'm proud to present you chapter 7! Enjoy it and review afterwards!

Nelson and Lisa walk out of the jeweler's shop with little hope. "Grate! Now Wiggum has to find it! At this rate I'll have my necklace back when I'm dead!" Lisa says sarcastically.

"Don't give up hope now babe! I'll look for it too. That shit head must be around here somewhere!" Nelson reassures her.

"Thanks. I can always count on you." Lisa says giving him a kiss.

Nelson walks Lisa home and heads back to his house to help his mom with some errands she has to run. "Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Lisa yells walking into the house.

"Lisa, honey! What in the world happened? I was so worried after you hung up!" Marge says coming to meet her.

Lisa takes a deep breath and starts to slowly tell her mom about what had just happened. "…So me and Nelson are going to start our search for the culprit tomorrow." Lisa concludes with a sigh.

"Wow that's a lot to take in." Marge says, "Could you take Maggie with you? Tomorrows a Saturday and she doesn't have much to do."

Lisa opens her mouth to argument but Marge interrupts. "Grate! I better go get supper started…"

Just then the door flings open. Bart comes in with his school backpack on one shoulder, his cell phone in his hands, and a smile the size of Texas. "Guess who's got a hot date tomorrow night…This guy!" Bart says pointing to himself with his cell.

"So, I'm guessing it went well?" Lisa assumes.

"Hell yah! She loves skate boarding, Krusty burgers, vandalizing other people's houses… She's like the girl of my dreams! And I asked her on a date!"Bart says with a hint of pride and the same ridiculous smile. "Mom, you were right about finding stuff in common, it really worked!"

"Oh sweetie! I'm so proud of you! And she's a very lucky girl!" Marge says with a little pride of her own.

"Well I'm sorry to rain on the parade but, my necklace is still missing!" Lisa says.

"So it wasn't at the jewelers?" Bart asks.

"No." She answers and tells him the most important pieces of the story.

"Wow that sucks… I'll keep an eye out for the dude also; he couldn't have gone too far." Bart answers.

"Thanks, I'd appreciate that." Lisa tells him.

"No problem, It's the least I can do to help you and Nelson out." Bart says.

"You know what Bart? You're not that bad of a big brother."

"Awww, thanks Lis…" He says hugging her, and she instinctively hugs back.

Bart and Lisa's fighting problem had milled down over the years, now they were actually kind of friends instead of enemies. Which made there parents very proud.

"Family moment!" Homer yells coming out of nowhere and taking a picture of the two hugging with his old camera.

"Dad!" they both yell together.

"Sorry, I ruined the moment…" Homer says taking the photograph in his hands and waving it in the air to make it cool off.

"Yah, no kidding." Bart says snatching the photo from him and putting it in his backpack.

"Hay! Give that back!" Homer says reaching for his backpack.

"Make me!" Bart says swinging it out of his reach.

"Game one!" Homer says tackling Bart, the both fall like on the floor and start to wrestle little kids would.

I said, Bart and Lisa's brotherhood relationship, not Bart and Homer's.

"I'm going to go start dinner…" Mage says in a disappointed voice, and then leaves the living room shaking her head.

"Hay you guys! That's enough!" Lisa yells snatching the picture from Bart's backpack and rips it in half.

"Do'h!" The two say simultaneously.

"Ya see! Fights always end with destruction!" Lisa says throwing the ripped photo away.

The three leave the living room, two with disappointment, one with anger; and Lisa fills Homer in about the necklace. Maggie enters the living room a couple minutes later to watch the late afternoon session of the Itchy and Scratchy show, when she sees the ripped up photo in the trash. She quickly looks both ways and snatches it, and carefully puts it in her pocket, promising to herself that she would tape it later.

The next morning, at the Simpsons breakfast table, the family has tons of news to share. Bart makes small talk about his a date tonight and Lisa tries to convince her mom about letting Maggie stay at home for the day… No such luck.

There's a knock on the door and Lisa rushes to get it assuming its Nelson. "Hay you." She says opening the door.

He says hay back and gives her a light kiss. "Are you ready to go?" he asks.

"I thinks so. I got my magnifying glass, my note book, a pen, a copy of the book Sherlock Homes, water, chips, cell phone, and a zip lock bag to gather our evidence in." She says looking into her backpack. "Now all we're missing is Maggie."

"Maggie?"

"It's a long story."

"I'm ready too!" The little girl says walking over to Nelson and her big sister only to be tripped by her own clumsy feet, landing with an "Umff!" as the floor comes in contact with her body.

"Ugh!" She breathes. Then gets up and brushes the dust off her dress. The dress is similar to Lisa's when she was younger only this one is blue, not orange.

"You ok?" Nelson asks sinking down on his knees to meet her face.

"Yes I'm ok! I'm eight years- old I think I can survive a little trip!" She retorts with her usual bad attitude.

"Ok then…" Nelson says awkwardly, still on his knees.

"We should be going." Lisa reminds them.

The three head out the door and head over by Wiggum's office to see if there's any news. They enter the room and they immediately assume he's not been working very hard. Feet on his desk, doughnut crumbs on his uniform, and a coffee mug resting by his feet on the desk. "Chief Wiggum?" Lisa says shaking the sleeping officer awake.

He awakes with a start and ends up kicking his coffee all over his desk and papers. "Oh no! My work!" He yells and immediately starts to gather all his sheets and files together. "Wha du want kids?!"

"We want to know if you found anything?" Nelson asks.

"Anything about what?" He asks whipping the coffee away with a rag.

"The stolen necklace form yesterday!" Lisa says impatiently.

"Oh… Uh... No news yet kids, but we still have an eye out for it!" Wiggum tells them. "Could you go now please? I'm trying to work."

"Trying and failing." Nelson snorts in his usual way.

"Hay! Don't you talk to me like that kid! I could have you arrested right now if I wanted to!" Wiggum says pointing his finger at Nelson in a threatening manner.

"Smell you later fatso!" He says then grabs Lisa and Maggie's hand and the three make a run for it.

"Hay! I'm not fat! I'm just big boned! Get-em boys!" Wiggum shouts to Eddie and Lou.

The three policemen run out of the building and after Nelson, Lisa, and Maggie.

"Oh grate! In addition to my necklace being gone, the police are after us! If I go to jail you can consider yourself as my ex!" Lisa shouts.

"It wasn't my fault! He asked for it!" Nelson says trying to defend himself… Or should I say trying and failing cause Lisa's not buying it one bit.

"I…" Maggie starts.

"Not now Maggie!" Lisa shouts at her and sticks her old pacifier in her mouth to keep her from speaking.

"Ugh! You can be so irresponsible!" Lisa tells him.

"Me? What about you? We're all in this because you weren't careful enough to put that necklace in a safe place! Talk about irresponsible." He snorts back.

"Nelson, I…" Maggie starts hoping he would listen better than her sister.

"Not now!" he yells sticking the pacifier back in her mouth and the two continue to bicker.

"YOU GUYS!" She yells so loudly that they both stop and a loud "What!?" escapes from both of their mouths.

"We're well in front of the policeman, let's slide into an ally and let them pass us." She suggests.

They both nod and do exactly what she says. About 30 seconds later they see the policeman blindly pass them. "Is there any more augments to finish?" She asks them rudely.
