OK here is another updated chapter enjoy! I apologize for spelling before hand I'm not very good, and I don't have spell check so again sorry.
A lot of time hand gone by since Lisa had come home from her orientation at Yale. She had kept really good contact with Jen and Cody since she had come home and now her high school graduation was just a few days away. She had sent them both invitations to it and hoped maybe her and Jen's graduations were not on the same day so they both could attend the others ceremony. As for Sam's trial, it had come and gone quickly, giving both girls and there family's the comfort they needed. Lisa could still see his eyes as they dug into her like knives. She had stood on the stand and testified against him. Come to find out she wasn't his first victim. He had raped several other girls and threatened them that if they talked he would do something awful to them. When they had heard he was arrested and being charged with attempted rape and assault. They had come forward and told there tails to the judge along with the others in the courtroom that day. When everyone of them told there story of what he had done to them, he had started to looked furious by the end of the day. Lisa was the last to speak. The one to get away as she saw it and it frightened her. The judge had sentenced him to ten years in a federal prison without parole, for his rape charges and the assault charges he got from beating Jen. Her brothers were all there with them and it took the judges stern voice to back them along with Bart down and away from Sam. When they had brought him out to be seated. All the men in the room were hot with anger for the younger man. Lisa on the other hand went cold with fear from the sight of him. After the judges hammer fell and they escorted Sam away he snarled out the same threat as before only it scared her even more. "I swear when I get out of here you'll be sorry! You little bitch! Your going to pay for this mark my words! I'll get you for this! Watch your back!" He snarled out at her as they dragged him away. The officers had to keep back Bart. He had heard his threat clear as everyone else and bolted towards him. It took three officers to drag him away and out of the courthouse. He cussed and fought them the hole time determined to get his hands around Sam's neck. When he had finally cooled down some he turned to Sherri and fell into her arms with a huff of defeat. "That prick I wish them cops would have just let me through so I could show him what's for." Bart steamed as he walked next to his fiancé. Sherri gave him a peck on his cheek and smiled as he turned to her. "Just simmer down there. The cops will deal with him if he gets out of line and maybe someone on the inside will kick his ass for you." Bart chuckled. "I sure hope so he deserves it." They made there way to the car that would take them back to the train station to head home. Lisa hung back and talked with Jen and Cody. "Are you going to be alright?" Cody held her hands in his and looked at her concerned. He could see that she was upset. "Yeah I'm fine just a little shaken still. I thought I was over it but seeing him again. So close it...Scared me." He pulled her into a tight friendly hug. "It's ok he's not going to be out for a long time." She sighed and stepped away from him as she turned to Jen. "He's right Lis, by the time he is free you will be out of school and hopefully hitched." She winked at the pair getting a blush and a scowl from Lisa. "Your right about some of that. I will be graduated you on the other hand will be married." She teased before the to pulled into a tight hug. "I'm going to miss you girl. Keep in tough ok?" Jen let her go and she waved as Lisa climbed in with her family to head home. Jen turned and looked at Cody. He had a smile on his face but she could see something else in his eyes as they turned to join Mike at the truck.
A few days after the Simpsons had returned home, Lisa stood in front of her bedroom mirror and brought a dress to her chest debating if it was the one she wanted to were for her ceremony. With a sigh she shook her head and put it down on her bed picking the other one up and doing the same thing. Sherri sat on her bed and was doing her best to help her decide but not a single dress seemed to fit for the occasion. Sherry chuckled and shook her head when Lisa turned to her with a face of pure defeat. "Sherri what am I supposed to do? None of these dresses will work and I want to look my very best." Sherri chuckled and picked up a cream dress with flower trim. "I don't see what the problem is Lis this one would work perfectly if you ask me. Why are you being so picky it's only graduation after all not like your showing off for someone special." Sherri raised an eyebrow and gave her a sly smile as Lisa's face pinked. "Ok spill it who are you trying to impress?" "No one I swear I just want to look nice is all." Lisa stammered out turning her back to Sherri and looking at herself in the mirror holding another dress to herself. Her cheeks still flushed. Sherri shook her head and got off of the bed making her way to Lisa. "You now your not fooling anyone when your face tells it all perfectly. Now spill it who is he? Is it Nelson still?" The pink in Lisa's face faded away and a light frown fell onto it. Sherri sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Lis I didn't mean to hurt your feeling." Sherri pulled her into a sisterly hug until Lisa pulled away. "Its ok Sherri its just a sensitive topic. I wonder what happened to him do you really think he is in jail? Everyone at school says he is but deep down I don't think it's true." Sherri looked away and frowned. "I'm not really sure Lis but after the havoc he wrecked on the Krusty burger I don't think he would be anywhere other then jail." Lisa sighed and placed the dress she was holding onto her bed with the others. "Maybe your right Sherri." Sherri smiled at her. "If he is maybe he is in the same one that jerk off Sam is in and can beat the living tar out of him for you." Lisa and Sherri giggled. "Yeah that would be nice of him to do that. I just wish they would have given him more time in there." "Oh yeah I agree Lis four years isn't nearly enough for what he did to your friend and tried to do to you." Lisa nodded her head and looked into her closet for another hopeful dress, but was having no luck. "Still can't find the one you want?" Sherri joined her and looked at her dresser with a frown. Then a glimmer of mischief hit the young girls eyes and she smiled at Lisa. "Why don't we go and buy you the one you want Lis? It would be fun and besides you could use some fresh air, and while we are out you can tell me all about this guy your so interested in." Sherri teased and got a playful swat from Lisa with a giggle. "Ok fine you win I'll tell you about him when we get to the mall." Sherri smiled and the girls made there way downstairs were Bart and Homer were currently cheering on there favorite football team. Sherri walked into the living room and gave Bart a kiss on the cheek drawing his attention somewhat away from the TV screen. "Hey babe me and Lisa are heading to the mall we will be back later ok?" Bart brought his full attention to his sister and fiancé with a curious look. "Why do you need to go to the mall?" Sherri rolled her eyes and gave him a knowing look. "Cause we are girls and like to spend our hard earned money how ever we please." Bart smiled and held her hand. "I know I'm just messing with ya do you need some money?" Sherri smiled at him. "No we are good but since your offering." She gave him a seductive smile. Bart chuckled and reached into his wallet handing her a hundred and fifty dollars. Sherri kissed his lips as a silent thank you before she joined Lisa at the door. "We will be back later tonight probably around dark." Bart smiled at the pair and waved. "Ok have fun what one are you going to the one here in town or the one in Shelbyville?" Sherri looked at Lisa and then back at Bart with a smiled. "We are going to the one in Shelbyville its got a way better selection of clothes and stuff see you later love you." She quickly pushed Lisa out he door and the two girls hopped into Sherri's car with happy giggles. Back in the house on the couch Bart was back to enjoying the game with his dad when Homer looked at his son and nudge him playfully. "Not even married yet and she into your pocket boy." Bart smiled and rolled his eyes. "Yeah well at least I have money in my pocket to blow on her old man." Homer nodded his head. "Yeah isn't that the truth. Wait a sec why you little!" He lunged for Bart's neck only getting his hands caught by Bart's who had a sassy smile on his face. "Oh come on old man settle down, drink your beer and lets get back to the game." Homer nodded his head and picked his beer up happily drinking away.
Meanwhile in Shelbyville Nelson was working hard and had successfully be one of the boys who had been chosen to join the team for the academy games. He was currently doing push ups with Henry and the two seemed to be battling it out. Both were going a steady pace and Nelson was giving the older man a run for his money. It had been almost two hole months since Nelson started coming to the Academy and he had received his High school diploma online a few week ago. Thanks to Henry's help he was actually able to pass the course with almost flying colors. Finally the older man gave in to the younger one with a defeated grunt. He sat up and leaned onto a nearby tree for support as Nelson chuckled and stood up to join him. "You feeling alright there? Normally you have the strength to keep it going for days." Nelson took a drink of his water and watched as his mentor reached for his own taking in a few gulps and wiping his brow free of the sweat built up over there work out. "Well today I just don't seem to have the energy is all. The Misses has been all over me the last few weeks and I can barley get my energy back before she's after me again." Henry took another drink and took in a deep breath of air. "Yeah have you told her that you need a good rest?" Nelson inquired as he picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his body. When he turned back to Henry he froze up and glanced around. The older man was giving him a shocked look and shook his head chuckling. "My boy let me tell you about women. When they want something especially if its in the more sexual of nature area you don't say no ever." Nelson spit out the water in his mouth and coughed from what the older man had said. When he finally caught his breath he looked Henry who was laughing at him. "Damn you never told me she was all over you in that way I thought she was making you fix up the house or something dang man." He coughed a few more times and shook his head. "Come on how could you not know what I was talking about. You act like you've never been with a girl before." Henry teased and then his face fell flat as he noticed Nelson turn away from him embarrassed. "Know way really? You have never been with a girl?" Nelson faced the man and looked down at his feet. "Nope I had a few chances I supposed but none of them were very interested in me." Henry placed a hand on his shoulder. "Not a single one are you sure Nelson? what about the girl you told me about when we first started working together was she not interested either?" Nelson sighed and looked at Henry. "Well I'm not sure if she was I never really asked. I know she wanted to be my girl but i screwed that up big time. I've just got this gut feeling she's moved on." Henry sighed and patted his back. "Well you never really know until you get to go home, maybe if your lucky she will be there patiently waiting for you to return." Nelson chuckled "Yeah? You think she will wait for four years and not see a single guy?" Henry raised an eyebrow and brought a hand to his face thinking and then gave a smile to Nelson. "Maybe only time will tell and right now time says lunch." Nelson and Henry shared a laugh as they walked to Henry's house for lunch since he basically lived on campus Nelson could have some free time from his fellow Cadettes for a few hours. When they got to his house Henry and Nelson walked in and sitting splayed out for the hole world to see was Henry's wife Diana. She was sitting on the table her legs open and turned to look at her husband with a seductive gaze. Nelson turned a bright red and put his back to her naked form. "Oh my! I'm so sorry! Henry why didn't you tell me you were bringing Nelson home!" She jumped down from the table and scurried off out of sight. "Diana! Crap I'm in the dog house for sure now." Henry shook his head and turned to see Nelson still had his back to him and the now empty table. "She's gone now know need to shield your precious eyes kid." Henry chuckled and made his way into the kitchen. Nelson on the other hand turned slowly and glanced around the room making sure she was indeed gone. Henry was in the kitchen and digging through the fridge as Nelson slowly made his way towards him. "Is she always like that?" He asked and jumped when he heard a door close in a room upstairs. "Well not normally but as of late she been quite...Spontaneous you see we have been married for about twelve years know and have never had any kids of our own." Henry laid out some lunch meat on the counter with cheese and began to look for the bread. "Oh so you two are trying for a baby?" Henry put the bread he had found on the counter and smiled at Nelson. "Yeah we sure are now that I'm not traveling anymore we thought it would be a good idea." The light sound of footsteps coming closer to the pair drew there attention to the hallway. Diana came in her hair up in a bun and fully clothed. She made her way to Henry and with a bump of her hip she nudged him out of the way. Henry chuckled and motioned for Nelson to sit down. He did and made sure to stay away from the side of the table that she had been sitting on a few minutes prior. Diana turned and gave Nelson a kind smile. "Sorry you had to see me in nothing but my birthday suit. I had no idea he was bringing you home." She turned and continued to make them sandwiches. Nelson watched as Henry tried to get back on her good side. He was much larger then she was. As he studied the two he noticed how different they both were. She looked to be really smart and sassy from what he could see. When Henry kissed her cheek she pushed him away playfully and the two playfully squabbled amongst themselves. Nelson couldn't help but smile at them. Maybe if these two so very different people have made it all these years there might still be some hope for him yet. After lunch Nelson excused himself and made his way to the door. As he closed it he caught a slight yelp from Diana and he quickly made his way away from his mentors house. He walked along the fence that boarder's the campus and, watched as the cars on the road passed with the people going about there daily activities. He leaned up against a tree and watched them pass when a purple one drove by with a face he couldn't believe to see. He only caught a glimpse but it was enough to know who he had just seen in the passenger seat of the car. Her blond hair hung around her ears and he was able to get the slight glimpse of a smile on her delicate lips.
Lisa and Sherri were happily cruising along jamming out to the music on the radio. Sherri turned and pointed at the Police academy as the began to pass it. Lisa smiled and noticed a young man walking close to the fence and she could have sworn it was Nelson but she didn't get a good glimpse. "Hey Lis so is this Cody guy nice you never really went into details about him." Lisa shook her head and giggled. "Oh come on Sherri what more do I have to tell you we are just friends nothing more I swear." Sherri rolled her eyes at her. "Ok fine maybe I kind of wish we was a little more than friends, but that's it nothing really special." Sherri giggled and turned a corner towards the mall. "Eventually your going to tell me the hole truth even if I have to pry all the juicy details out of you, cause you know I will." Sherri playfully challenged her. The two girls noticed a billboard advertising the annual police academy games that were to be happening a week from now. "Hey Sherri we should see if the family wants to go to the game I hear there really fun to watch." Sherri smiled. "Yeah they would be fun to watch and on the plus side a man in uniform is always fun to watch." The two girls giggled as Sherri pulled into the parking lot. When they finally got into the massive building the girls were bubbling with excitement. "Come on Lisa lets get to shopping!" Sherri said enthusiastically. They made there way to a really nice dress store and, Lisa was looking at a really nice white dress with pink flowers that ran down the side. "Wow I really like this one Sherri what do you think? Sherri? Where did you go?" Lisa turned and noticed she was on the other end of the store looking at some shoes. Lisa made her way over to her with the dress in her hand. "Hey Sherri look at this dress. I'm going to go try it on ok?" Sherri nodded her head and then went back to looking at shoes. After a few short minutes Lisa came out of the fitting room to show the dress off. "Well what do you think?" Sherri stared at Lisa with a smiled of pure delight. "I think you look super hot in it Lis it really suits you that's for sure." Lisa did a little twirl and it swirled up a little around her legs before settling back down at her knees. "I think this is the one Sherri I love it!" Sherri smiled as Lisa twirled around again. Later they went to eat at the food court and the two happily chattered and watched as the people went around doing there own business for the day. "So have you and Bart set a date yet for your wedding? I know you want to wait till your out of school but I'm just curious is all." Lisa took a bite of her salad and chewed as Sherri took a drink of her soda. "Well I was thinking of a spring wedding not next year but the year after maybe by then we will be defiantly ready for all that comes with being married and all." Lisa chuckled "You think that is enough time? I mean look at my parents they've been married for years and sometimes they still have issues." Sherri raised her eyebrow "If I can recall most of the issues that your parents have gone through is because of your dad." Lisa and Sherri stared at each other before they both burst out in a fit of laughter. "Omg its so true my dad is many things and most are not that good." Lisa giggled. They spent the rest of the day shopping and having fun throughout there time at the mall and when it was finally starting to get late they made there way to Sherri's car. "Well that was fun I think I spent way to much on shoes though I just couldn't decide so I had to buy them all" Sherri smiled as she carried her multitude of shoes and clothes she had gotten. Lisa on the other hand only had two bags even though Sherri said she would buy her something if she wanted. "Yeah I think if you had your way you would have bought the hole malls supply of shoes." Lisa teased. "Oh if only that would be awesome!" Sherri squealed in delight. They had made it to her car when Sherri felt something hard point into the center of her back. A gruff male voice spoke up in her ear making her freeze in fright. "Give me your money and no one gets hurt." He breathed out Sherri just stood there trembling as he brought the object to she now knew was a knife to her throat. "Come on I don't have all the time in the world now give me the money!" He snarled out. Sherri dropped her bags and reached for her purse when she felt the man grunt in pain. The knife lightly cut her neck and she bolted to the car where Lisa was standing behind scared. Sherri wrapped her in her arms and the two girls watched as a larger man cuffed the attackers arms. When he stood up a small women half his height came towards him and motioned to the two girls. She walked over to them as the man called 911. "Are you girls ok? We were coming out of the store across the way and saw him following you." The two girls relaxed and eyed the attacker who was wriggling in his restraints. "We are fine thanks to you and your friend there thank you." Sherri reached for her throat and winced from the small cut she had. "Looks like he still cut you dear here let me take a look." She walked closer to Sherri and dabbed the cut with a clean ex she had in her purse. "My names Diana what's your guys names?" Lisa moved to get a better look at Sherri's cut as the man approached them. "My name is Lisa and this is my soon to be sister in law Sherri Nice to meet you Diana." Diana smiled as she threw the Kleenex in the trash. "This is my husband Henry he is an instructor at the police academy here in town." She gestured towards him as he stuck out his hand for the girls to shake. "Nice to meet you young lady's. What did you say your name was again miss?" He asked as he held shook Lisa's hand. "Its Lisa, Lisa Simpson sir." She smiled at him. "Aww I see well it's nice to meet you Miss Simpson." He turned towards the man and smiled as the police arrived to pick him up. He spoke with the officers and then when they had spoke with both Sherri and Lisa they took the man and left. Lisa and Sherri were happily chatting away with Diana when Henry came back over to her. "Well my dear it's time we started our way back to home, besides I need to check up on my student." Diana looked at him curiously and waved bye to the girls as they walked off. Lisa and Sherri hopped in her ride and drove home. The drive was a lot more quite then the trip to the mall. Sherri was busy paying attention to the road and Lisa was lost in her own thoughts. That man they had talked to seemed to now who she was in a way. He looked at her as if he new something she didn't. She pondered the subject around until her eyes fell heavy and she rested her head back falling asleep as Sherri turned up the radio to entertain herself as she drove the pair home. She was curious how Bart would react to the fact that they almost got mugged, but thanks to that kind gentleman they were saved. Sherri looked at Lisa and smiled. She was happy her friend was getting more active and social she needed it for sure, and this new boy she seemed so fond of didn't seem to bad...Though she wondered about Nelson what would come of the pair? She new they were not together, but deep down she could see that Lisa still cared for him. Sherri sighed and let her own thoughts wander as she drove down the highway.
