"Alright, please explain to me why I haven't noticed this after all this time?" Bart asked while he hung upside down from his bed, "I mean I lived next to him for years. Did he start to crossdressing recently?"
"Not really," Maggie said. "He's been sneaking in and out of the house before Mr. Flanders lost his sight. Since than Todd just walked out of the house like that."
Bart sat up and faced his baby sister, "you mean that Flanders is alright with his son being a girl?" He saw Maggie shake her head no, "you mean that Flanders doesn't know about this? I wonder why Rod doesn't squeal?"
Maggie shrugged, "how am I suppose to know, do I do like a mind reader?"
"Whatever, man. I'm heading over there," Bart pushed himself off of the bed while heading out.
"Hey, wait, what do you think you're doing?" Maggie followed him, "What are you planning?"
"Well simple, since I live next door I should have the home field advantage on her," Bart added air quotes to the last word.
"What you have is her remembering all the times you pick on, teased at and made fun of her, Todd's not going to forgive you so easily."
"Hey, it's in his nature to forgive and forget, right?" Bart said while grabbing his coat.
Maggie sighed, this isn't going to end well.
"Okay, this goes here?"
"Yes," Cookie took the king. "Game over!"
"D'oh!"
Cookie let out a small chuckle, she set up another game. This would be the fifth game, but she was enjoying herself; this man was an oaf and kind of stupid, but for some reason he was "different" from the others.
He is learning, Cookie thought while sacrificing a pawn. Yet he remains stupid, strange. Her gold was taken.
This is actually kind of fun, Homer thought.
"Game over."
"D'oh."
"No."
"Excuse... Me?"
"I said no," Todd said while searching through his closet while sorting out the dresses, pants and other things.
"But aren't you suppose to forgive people and stuff?" Bart said, he was kind of amazed at Todd's room. It was colorful, and had a lot of girlish items here and there.
Todd laughed, "yeah right. You mean that turn the other cheek crap? You mean that stuff those hypocrites tell everyone to do one thing than turn around and do what they preach what not to do?"
"Wow, pretty bitter."
You'd be bitter too, Todd thought. If you were me too.
"So, I guess it's a no on the day?" Bart asked.
Todd stopped for a moment, "Bart; if I didn't dress like this would you take an interest in me at all?"
"No.." Bart slammed a hand over his mouth, Todd glared at him but kept on sorting out his outfits. "I should be going."
"I would suggest that," Todd said.
Bart slowly crept away, he was a bit flustered for really botching that one.
Next chapter; Homer goes back to the shogi club, Lisa tries to find out who her mysterious admirer is and Bart takes a step back to review everything about his life.
