Chapter 3

Setting Up

Marge tried to get Homer to forgive her, but every time Homer said the same thing. "No."

Marge thought about having a romantic date with Homer. A date where she could apologize.

Marge went back to the house. She went up to her room, where Homer was no where in sight. She thought he might've been at Moe's, and sure enough, that's exactly where he was.

Homer was at Moe's getting drunk. He was depressed. He would go to Moe's every night and get drunk. He would drink large amounts of beer. Marge couldn't blame him, though.

"Moe, hand me another beer. I'm thinking of drinking extra tonight."

"Sorry bud, no can do."

"Oh, come on!"

"Hold up, I gotta take this."

"Uh, hello. I'm looking for Hugh. Last name, Janus."

"Uh, can I get a Hugh Janus? A Hugh Janus, everybody! Hey, over in the bathroom there, is there a Hugh Janus?"

A random guy yelled,"What are you, a pervert?"

Everyone started laughing like crazy.

"Listen you, if I ever get ahold of you, I will come to your house and serve your blood as a cocktail, so I can taste the satisfaction of killin' ya!"

Bart laughed like crazy. Marge came into his room and told him to get ready, as she wanted the kids to be there at the romantic dinner. To show Homer the beautiful children he created. Bart refused to go, though.

"Come on, Bart! Get ready!"

"No, Mom! You can't just have an affair and expect us to forgive you. What you did to dad was horrible!"

"I know, honey, but this night could fix everything. Now, let me just call Homer to meet us there."

At Moe's Tavern, Moe heard the phone ringing, so he answered it.

"Moe's Tavern, what can I do for you?"

"Is Homer there?"

"Marge! Uh, yeah, Homer's here."

"Could I talk to him for a moment, please? It's really important."

"Alrighty."

Moe handed over the phone to Homer.

"Homer?"

"Marge? What do you want?"

"Please get dressed into some fancy clothes and meet me at Luigi's!"

"Why, Marge? So you can tell me that you and Ned are married?"

"Please, Homer. It's really important!"

"Fine. I'll go, but only for the food!"

Homer went to the mall and bought some fancy clothes. He bought a blue suit, blue pants, and a red tie. He went to Luigi's and sat at a table. There was no sight of Marge, though.

At home, Marge hadn't realized that she was late to dinner, since she had been too busy trying to convince Bart to come. As Homer sat at the restaurant, he wondered why Marge wasn't there. He sat there until the restaraunt closed. As he drove away, Marge had just pulled up at the restaurant. She noticed it was closed. Marge asked Luigi if he'd seen Homer anywhere. Luigi told Marge that he had just left when she arrived, and that he was probably at home. Marge went home, and when she went to her bedroom, Marge noticed a tape lying on the bed. She put the tape in and the video started playing.

"Hello, Marge. If you are watching this, I am leaving town forever. I will not come back, because it just reminds me of you. You can marry anyone you want to, because it seems that I was not able to keep you in my arms. I guess I should have realized you weren't going to stay with me after I started drinking so much. I should have changed when I had the chance. Just know, that no matter who you date, or who you marry, I will love you more than any of them. I will always love you. You will never escape from my heart. Goodbye, Marge."

After the tape ended, Marge immediately started sobbing. She would never see Homer again. Bart and Lisa saw Marge sobbing, and new that they had to track Homer down.

Marge just laid on the bed thinking about the erotic moments with Homer that took place on that bed. She cried day after day, while the kids still could not find their dad.

Meanwhile, Homer was in his car, driving as he cried. He decided to head to Capital City. He wondered what it would hold, and whether or not he would enjoy staying there. Nonetheless, it was a fresh new start.
