I do not own the Simpsons.
Enjoy!
She had died but had stayed.
She saw her sister Lisa Simpson survive and grow up in what was called Life.
And she wanted it.
She wanted to walk.
Feel things.
Eat.
Enjoy the sunlight on her skin.
She wanted to make friends.
Wanted to try on outfits.
Try on makeup.
Slip into the middle of her parents bed and snuggle with them
But as she grew up and took more infomation in, she became aware of how the neighbours and other people reacted around her family.
It was not good.
People crossed the street at the sight of Bart walking down it.
They wispered to each other about how her mother was wasting her life with an man like her dad.
Through other people, she saw what a real family was and quiet frankly she lowered her head too, seeing her dad go to town on a buffet place and embrass the rest of the family.
But despite all this.
Behind it all, she could feel that their heart in her heart.
And that left her undecided.
How can a family that so infamous make her want to be part of them?
Maybe...
It was those surprise kids day outs that her dad sprung on her siblings that made her turn her head?
What about the moments where her siblings could lay in bed with their parents because of a nightmare?
Or was it the moments where the family ran into a random celebrity on the street?
Or prehaps, she just wanted to wanting to be loved like that too?
But if she was reborn, there was no way she would be happy with being a Simpson.
Because no matter how may time they may say they loved her, it would be very hard to not notice the financial strain she had on the family by being born.
She didn't want her father to be forced to pick up more jobs because she was alive.
She didn't want to see both her parents wear makeup to hide their tiredness.
She didn't want the family trips to stop because they could no longer afford it.
And lastly.
She had heard from their own mouths that they didn't want anymore kids.
Her parents feared the idea of another child.
Could she do that to them?
Suddenly she began to shine.
Seeing this, she begged to somehow let her family know that she was here in a way that both sides can be happy.
#A worse part of Springfield#
She opened her eyes to find herself in a run down looking bedroom and she felt sensations.
One came from the bottom of her torso and spread to her legs, the other was from her hands.
What was causing it was a smartphone between her fingers.
Her eyes flew wide open.
We're her hands actually touching a smart phone?
The hands didn't go through and the phone dropped onto the cover when her hands released it.
She was alive.
Alive!
And now she was overcome with strange new sensations that she always wanted to feel, watching everybody else for years.
And in a time, where she was sure she would have looked like a weirdo if anybody saw her doing it, she began touching whatever she could.
Finally she knew what objects felt like.
What they smelt like.
What they tested like.
What they sounded like.
Then the phone buzzed and she picked up saw a message welcoming her to the 'Game of Life'.
Her new Smartphone, would let her choose how her life turns out by playing various games to gather points and going through the online store.
Right now, it was asking her for her name and age so that they can begin.
And she thought about it and realised that the name her parents gave her was Sheryl and now that she thought about it, she didn't actually like the name.
It sounded like she was a 40 year old woman on a sitcome.
How about Noami, then?
Noami T Skyler.
And obviously age 8 like her sister.
She entered this infomation in and her skin began glowing.
Then she saw a normal phone screen open up and everything seemed normally, all game bar at the top, showing what she currently had, vs wha5 she needed to have to break even.
It looks like she was going to have to pay for this dump, and any further upgrades.
She went searching through the phone.
How exciting for her.
Her first time.
She saw that everything looked straight forward enough and began to play games and used the coins to decorate her room, make the bills and finally have a wardrobe to do the legendary cloth hopping experience.
And she did it and loved every moment of it.
Then she tried on makeup.
She was a mess.
But the knowledge was already there thanks to watching her mother try on makeup for years.
And there was nobody around to tell her, she was too young or her face was pretty enough.
The brushes feel really nice. She thought, sniffing them.
And then she found her look.
Her blond hair drooped and curled bit, and she wore a black chocker around her neck, black dress on hsr body, an army jacket over it and black boots on her feet with makeup.
Perfect.
Now, to enroll herself into Springfield Elementary using a computer.
And to her shock, she discovered there was only one Web page form that you just need to fill out to enroll.
There was barely any questions and there was a donation box at the bottom, showing that the school really was that desperate for kids.
Noami was about to fill out, when her fingers refused to move.
What was she doing?
It was right there.
She can finally be with her sister.
So why was wrong with her fingers?
She stared at the page as if it would click itself and thsn she began to realise, all the school bad stuff may be keeping her from clicking.
Sure, seeing her siblings was amazing but that was just a drop in the bad stuff.
Did she really want to sit in a too packed classroom, with outdated resources and a teacher that had to get another job so that they can survive?
Did, she want to wonder what the lunchlady was serving to her today?
Would it finally kill her?
What about the school bus?
She was pretty sure, kids have ended up in the hospital on that thing.
There was also no guarantee that she would be in Lisa class either.
Did she want to stick around in a terrible place for years just to see for two bright spots?
Even Lisa would run far away if she was giving the choice between going to her dream school and going to this school.
But all the good school's require more data, and those posh schools require a background check at least.
So what will she do now?
She didn't want to be homeschooled, especially in this sad place.
But what if she made her own school?
Springfield was a dirt cheap place to rent for obvious reasons.
She can start off small then build from it.
She can create her dream shool using her phone.
So she began to do it and got a small terrible lot from an auction house before buying the permits and everything so it's legal and final before truly starting.
Noami was up almost to 1 researching what is needed for a spell, when she was hit by her bodies need to sleep for the first time and blacked out.
She woke up, drooling on the keyboard and a weird smell was coming from her body.
This was filth.
A smile spread on her lips.
This was so exciting.
She had her first real shower and brushed her teeth before making herself some food, before getting ready for school.
She reached for another phone because Springfield was not a safe town and she can't afford to lose this phone.
Plus, she wanted to feel the world.
So, using the fact she was a child clearly going to school in the early morning, she used negativation to get there and saw that the grand looking place was indeed made out of plaice.
It was cheaper and faster for her.
She had called the school, Shiny Star Academy.
She would replace it with the real thing later on, square by square and ended up having a great time, every item she touched was the latest version and the food was actually good and didn't kill her.
She kept cost low by having things like electricity and gas rigged to only the place she was in.
She couldn't afford to supply everything.
Then at the end of the school day, she went home, played more on her number one phone and did the rest of the apartment nice.
And then she made a social media account, took a picture of herself and then made the leap.
She found Lisa Simpson online and sent her a friend request.
She then heard back almost immediantly.
Probably out of curiosity on why she had her face as her profile picture.
Then she sent Lisa a video of herself introducing herself and asking to talk.
Then she hit send.
This time, she heard from Lisa almost an hour later and the girl was asking her if she could video chat and she said sure.
She went on camera and so did Lisa.
Lisa opened her mouth seeing her and said. "Oh, my god. You look just like me"
And she said. "I know." Then she lied and said. "Can you believe, I was just strolling through the web when I found you? I was shocked"
And then Marge Simpson poked through the door, clearly rehersed and said. "Are you okay in here, Lisa?"
And Lisa said, turning her head. "Yes, mom. Please go away"
Neither of them saw the longing in Noami eyes.
The woman left but not before introducing herself to her 'new friend' and then leaving.
However, the woman wasn't the only Simpson who 'mysterious' found themselves at Lisa door and looked in.
Even the grandfather walked in on them but it was clear that he didn't even know where he was and was just confused.
So after some time, Lisa apologised for her family but Noami said. "That's okay. They seem like such fun people." Before saying. "So I and my family recentally moved to Springfield. Any good books recommendation?"
And hearing this, Lisa eyes shined so bright that she was also blinded, and then the girl opened her mouth and you just couldn't stop her.
But Lisa seemed to become self aware a minute later and paused and said. "I'm sorry. I get carried away again"
She would understand, if she went offline and never spoke to her again.
But Noami said. "No, it's fine. I like that you have something your passionate about" and then she said. "And a heads up. I'm currently on page 2 of the book your reading" bring out the exact book.
Lisa saw this and looked like she had died and gone to heaven.
They both clicked with each other until dinner, where Marge told Lisa to come down and Lisa signed off but would resume later.
Noami made an excuse too but said she would be back as well.
She the chat off and came back on almost an hour later.
Lisa showed back on and had questions.
Like if she went to Springfield Elementary.
Noami said. "No, my parent did their research. Gave the schooo the benefit of the doubt. Then they saw the principal in his underwear on tour day. And floored it straight past him."
And they both laughed however Lisa laughter was a bit uneasy.
And Lisa said. "Yeah. That is quiet the school"
And she said. "You go there, right?"
And Lisa was wide eyed and said. "What? No"
However, Noami called her out on it and said. "Oh, yes you do. Your entire face just screams I go there but I'm lying so that the other doesn't see me as a loser. I see right through you"
And Lisa opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She said. "But I'm totally cool with you going to that school. My parents always told me that not everybody can dodge certain places. It's what you do with the opportunities that came your way that matters."
She then said. "So you go to a terrible school. No big deal. You'll be out in a few years or do you intend to repeat the same year?"
And Lisa said. "Oh, god no"
Silence.
She then said. "So, anyway. Are you doing anything tommorow after school? I want to get a library card and I know I will be lost."
And Lisa perked up, realising what she was asking and said. "I would love too. Let me give you my phone number."
And Lisa gave her, her phone number and then they talked some more and met up after school as promised, the next day.
Lisa gave her amazing tips while the librarian knew the girl and was surprised to see another.
It was a very shocking day for the woman when they said they weren't related and had actually met online.
Meanwhile Noami was resisting the urge to touch everything.
There were so many things she always wondered about but she would have to do in secret.
The libarian did the card for her and Noami asked Lisa what she did for fun and told her she wouldn't judge her.
So Lisa went for it.
And boy did she go for it.
Going full on nerd and her smile got brighter when Naomi revealed that she was not only paying attention but contributing to the discussion as well.
From the outside perspective, who didn't believe these two weren't twins?
Lisa said, towards the end. "It's so easy to talk to you. It's like you've known me since birth"
And Noami just smiled, while also saying in her head, that it was indeed true.
She knew how which buttons to push when befriending her.
She then said. "So...same time tommorow?"
And to her surprise Lisa said. "Actually... I and my family are going to splash world tommorow. But I'm sure we'll catch on Monday"
And hearing this, something dropped in her stomach and then it began to raise in her gut.
Noami suddenly found it hard to force a smile as she said. "Sure. No problem. Its not like my entire life resolves around you"
And Lisa said. "Great. Let's talk again on Monday"
And she said. "Sure" with her teeth clenched.
Then Lisa left and then she left.
And as she walked, she found that her footsteps got louder as the feeling arose higher and she began to shake but she kept it together.
She managed to make it back without releasing it, then she brought a sound proof box with lots chairs made from styrofoam and then she went inside it.
Grabbed her chair.
And then she exploded.
She throw it against, the box's walls and went bunkers.
She felt rage for the first time.
Envy.
Jealously.
It was ugly.
She said things in there that nobody would be proud off and it was all directed at one girl who didn't even know she existed, almost two days ago.
She just unleashed it all and when it was all gone, styrofoam was everywhere and she had slunk down onto the floor and just started sobbing.
Sadness.
Why does nobody love me like Lisa?
