Marge and Homer walked into their house. Patty and Selma stood up and put Maggie down. Marge said worried "You didn't give her manwiches again did you" Patty shook her head and Selma answered, "We know I never would make a life threatening mistake". Patty showed Selma a picture of Sideshow Bob and her walking down the street holding hands. Selma said upset walking out "Ya just can't let it go can you"? Marge asked Patty worried "So uh, how's Bart". Patty shrugged and answered, "He went up to his room with a rope and a note labeled 'Why'? Marge ran up stairs and said scared "Oh my god". Patty looked at Homer and walked out. Homer said sitting on the couch. "It has to be a man, it just has to be".
Marge ran upstairs and saw Bart playing with a yo-yo and reading a letter. Marge panted and asked him confused "What are you doing in Lisa's room". Bart shrugged and put down the letter. Marge said looking at the letter "So who's this from". Bart said to Marge looking out Lisa's window sitting on her desk "Another wrongly mailed Ransom not". Marge said looking at it "Oooooo, this one only used 'Almond Joy'". Bart nodded. Marge said to Bart rubbing his head "Do you want to be alone for a while"? Bart nodded gently still looking out the window. Marge kissed Bart on the forehead and walked out of Lisa's room, closing the door, and leaving Bart in there alone.
Bart picked up a picture of Lisa. He placed it down and sat on her bed facing her desk. He picked up a Lisa Lion Heart doll. He shook his head and opened a drawer throwing it in. He saw a pink book in the drawer and pulled it out. He opened it up to the first page. Bart said sadly "Dad really stopped the electricity coming out of this well". He read out loud "Dad went and moved in with a homosexual couple. I don't know when he'll be back. He bought a dog. I wanted to play with it but Reverend Lovejoy warned be that getting to close to his house may sentence me to eternal damnation". Bart flipped through the pages some more and stopped. He read out loud "List of dreams" He closed the book not reading anymore and took a deep breath.
He looked out the window and saw the moon. He then looked out the window in the empty center of their backyard. He then said to himself still looking out the window "Gee, I never knew that they could reposes a dead tree". Bart then walked out of her room using his crutch. He then went into his room and sat on his own bed.
He looked at a rock that was on his bedroom floor and saw the hole in his window. He shook his head. He then shut off the light and managed to kneel even with his bulky cast. He said as he folded his hands "Dear god. I know that your probably busy granting Rod and Todd the sugarless gumdrops they want, and trying to convince people that Whitney Huston wasn't driven crazy by her husband, but if you can find me within your many duties please listen to this prayer. Even before the one about me being able to make a gun out of a paper towel tube and Maggie's baby powder. Please make it so that my sister's surgery is successful. Both because I wouldn't want to live without her the way she is, and mooch off the person she will become, but most of all because I love her and she deserves more than me to live a happy, normal life, amen".
Bart shut off the light and closed his door. He slipped under his covers slowly due to his large cast and began attempting to fall asleep the best that he could.
Dr. Hibbert was working hard on the surgery. He dropped a surgical knife on the floor and all of the other doctors around him gasped. One of the male doctors said to Dr. Hibbert "Is she okay"? Dr. Hibbert nodded and said to everyone "I hope so. All that's left to do is to hope the healing process is successful and then everything about her will be fine and normal". A female doctor said to Dr. Hibbert "So what do we do now"? Dr. Hibbert said walking out "We wait".
The other doctors in the room walked out after Dr. Hibbert. Lisa lied there motionless and unconscious. Bart stared out the window obviously not able to sleep. He said taking a deep breath "It's so hard to find a star to wish on in Springfield".
