The house is sure quite. And usually that wasn't a good sign, she had experience this silence too many times before. Eyeing many of the items of the house while doing a sweep, Marge Simpson found nothing out of the ordinary. That would only propel her suspicion more, she knew that her family too well. Looking out the window she saw Todd, while keeping a neighborly smile she thought, that child isn't right. Shrugging it off she went upstairs, that's where she found Bart just laying on his bed tossing a baseball towards the wall.
"Bart?" She said in a loving tone, "is everything alright?"

Bart looked over, he just smiled while saying; "everything's alright, I'm just practicing my pitches."

Marge Arced a brow, something was a miss. Bart was hiding something, it sounded like a crush. Ohh, my little Barty has another girl!
"Alright, I'm going to leave you be." She said while leaving, she'll check his journal later on.

Bart watched his mother leave, throwing the ball than catching it one last time. Slowly sliding off the bed being careful, he snuck over to the dresser and inched it away from the wall.
Near the bottom he reach down and slid away a hidden door, this is where he's true journal from his family; there's a fake one placed in an area that everyone can find it and there's this one. Pulling out the pen and slowly creeping over to his bed he jolted down his latest entry.

July 12th, 200X.

It was surprising that when I confronted Todd for a date, and he told me no. He asked me directly that if he didn't dress as he was that would I be attracted to him, and like an idiot I said yes.
... Well, maybe it's true.

Well, there isn't much except I'm just that way, looks are everything. Maybe he's will to go out Friday or something.

Bart placed his journal back into his hiding place than looked out his window, the day was pretty nice and perhaps it would be a great start to win the crossdress's heart.

Lisa glimpse them, walking through the Quick-E-Mart's doors she saw them playing a craps game. They were all there, Nelson to Jimbo. One of them has to be her secret admirer. She wonder which one could be it, she knew it was ether Nelson or one of his cronies; she shrugged while heading for the counter.

"Hey, watch it!"

"I'm sorry, I was just a little deep in thought," Lisa said. She looked up to see a very ticked Francine holding a slurpee with a little bit of syrup and crushed ice dribbling over and running down her fingers. "This is going to cost me extra, isn't it?"

"Oh yeah," she said while readjusting the lid, "plus you'll bring me a new one for every Tuesday for the month."

Damn school rule, Lisa thought while Francine walked away. But there's more important things a foot.

It was raining when he pulled up to the curb; Homer really payed much attention after climbing out of his car. A short trip to the doors he smiled to the door man while walking by many of the patrons of the buildings, walking across the second floor he entered the shogi club's floor.
"I pronounce, that won you have, Kodos."

"You know I always do, Yoda." Kodos said while cleaning up the board.

"You lost again," Cookie said while the man got up to leave. "Oh, hey Homer, I've saved a seat." She set the pieces as the large man wonder over and took a seat, "so, Homer; how's everything at home?"

"Well," Homer moved his pawn to allow his bishop freedom. "Lisa's got a secret admirer, Maggie and that other one is doing something has been playing a lot of this so I can get better." He over took Cookie's bishop, looking up he smiled.

"That's good," Cookie shifted pieces around. "How's Marge?"

"Were doing good," Homer captured a pawn. "She's kind of irritable, like many times when she is about to get angry when our marriage is about to be placed on the rocks."

She gave a curious look, "aren't you going to do something about it?" She watched Homer laugh, he lost a silver piece.

"Cookie, I'll let you in a little secret from being married so long." Homer replayed a bishop, "you can see them coming; you can try to mend them but that only makes them worse. You just have to ride the wave and use what you get to please your mate." Cookie continued the game with just idol chit chat while her mind was working on this situation; Homer, while not king perfect or Mr. Perfect but this man-child was well meaning.

Too bad he's taken.
