I do not own the Simpson.
Enjoy!
The Simpson family, made their way down their street in the dead of night.
They were cold and they were hungry, they did not have the money to take the bus so they had to walk all the way home.
They had to walk the terrible streets of Springfield and Marge had to shield her children when the crazies, began to walk the street's.
But this wasn't the first time that Homer had left them to walk home, they all had a pretty good guess of where he was.
At the Moe's bar and currently drunk out of his mind, his family the furthest thing from his mind.
However, when they began to walk to the door, they noticed something.
They noticed it because it was sparkling.
Theirs living room windows weren't covered in filth instead they were sparkling.
The windows actually looked washed with proper soap.
Marge understandably couldn't believe her eyes.
"Mom, are those our windows?" Lisa said, just to make sure that she was seeing was in fact their windows and not Flanders.
"Cool." Bart said. "I had no idea that our windows could sparkle like that."
And then they all heard the sound of banging through the thick door.
Who was in the house?
"Kid's, get behind me!" Marge said, immediately both Lisa and Bart got behind her, Maggie who was in her arms snuggled close to her and Marge got out her rolling pin that she always carried around with her which she kept in her cheap looking brown bag.
She opened the door with her keys and they slowly walked in.
Suddenly they all heard.
"Marge. Kid's. Is that you?" The voice was none other than Homer Simpsons and soon the man himself appeared from the Kitchen.
They weren't surprised to see him appear from the kitchen but what they were surprised to see was the fact, that he wore a white apron, yellow gloves, a hammer and was covered in white paint.
Marge put the rolling pin back into her bag's and the kids came out from behind her.
"Homer...what are you doing?" She said, and Homer realized that she was cross. "Do you realize that you left us at the hospital so we had to walk all the way home? I was scared for me and our children!"
So that's why he felt bad.
But then Homer looked at them and they were all stunned to see compassion and guilt.
"Sorry, Marge. Sorry, Kids" Homer said, actually apologizing. "I wasn't thinking straight. Something could have happened to you all out there and I didn't care because I wanted a glass of Beer"
They were all stunned.
That was the sincerest apology they had ever heard from the man, he told them exactly what he did wrong and Marge didn't have to enlighten him on it.
Marge was stunned.
"If it, mean's anything. I fixed the back door" Homer said.
"...What?" Marge said.
"I replaced the lock on it and I fixed Lisa's door as well" Homer said.
Now it was time for even Lisa to be taken back.
Lisa rushed up the stairs and went to her room, the little girl was absolutely stunned to new tightened bolted in the doorframe that were properly place and she had no problem closing the door.
She could close the door!
Lisa excitedly went downstairs and yelled.
"I CAN CLOSE THE DOOR! THANK YOU, DAD!" she hugged her dad, finally no more light peering into her room at night.
Marge was stunned when she heard this.
H-He did it!?
"Want to see the lock on the back door?" Homer said, and all of them nodded and he led them into the kitchen.
Marge was taken back when she saw the door, the rusty lock on the back door was now a shiny lock that slid in and out.
"Homer. You did that?" Marge said, before saying. "And I didn't have to nag you about it!?"
"And that's not all. When you can in, I was in the middle of patching the holes in the house so that Snowball 2 doesn't find his way into our walls again." Homer said.
And Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie looked at him like he had grown a second head.
"Dad...are you feeling alright?" Bart said it was one of the few moments that he showed concern for the man.
"Never felt better, son" Homer said, before saying. "Bart, you like to crawl through place's, right? Want to help me find all the places that Snowball 2 can crawl into? I'll pay you a buck an hour."
And Bart was stunned, before saying. "Wait, really?"
Homer nodded his head, stunning them all.
"Mom...I think that blow to the head, knocked something in dad's head" Lisa whispered to her mother.
Should they call the hospital?
But then Homer made a shocking declaration.
"Marge. I've decided to stop drinking." Homer said.
.
.
.
Everybody in the room looked ready to bend over from shock.
"W-What?" Marge said, she could have sworn she dreamt her husband said he was giving up drinking.
The kids were feeling like they were dreaming too.
"Marge, I'm giving up drinking" Homer repeated himself to the kids and her. "I've wasted way too much time at the Bar, when I should have been hanging out with my family. Getting to know my own kid's. Getting to know you, Marge, all over again"
And Marge did not know how to react.
Was this a dream?
"Do you mean it, Homer?' Marge said.
"100 percent" Homer said, before taking Maggie from her arms and placing the baby on the table before going in for a kiss, Marge was shocked to feel the sparkle she thought her Marriage had lost when Homer kissed her.
She returned it, and all her children looked away.
Homer let go, and Marge had a silly smile on her face.
"Homer, I've never been kissed like that before," Marge said.
"And if you like that, it will keep on coming," Homer said giving her a seductive look and Marge fanned herself because of how hot the attraction was between them.
Maybe, the blow to the head was the best thing that had ever happened to their marriage?
"Now, Bart." Homer said, turning to the boy who he loved to strangle, before getting out his wallet and producing a buck, "Do you still want the money?"
"Hell, yes!" Bart said, taking the cash and nobody had ever seen him so eager to do anything before.
Homer laughed before he noticed Lisa and said. "And Lisa, I noticed on the calendar that tomorrow your band would be playing. I'll be more than happy to sit in the crowd and cheer you on."
Lisa was taken back.
First the door and now the band?
Who was this wonderful man who had replaced her dad!?
"Really, dad?" Lisa said.
"You can count on it. I'll even get the family camera" Homer said, and Lisa hugged him which he returned.
His attractiveness to Marge was getting hotter by the minute.
Then he looked at Maggie who was on the table and got out something from his pocket and said. "Guess what I got?"
Maggie saw that it was a new pacifier.
The smile that Maggie had when she saw it and he ripped off the package was probably the first genuine smile she had ever given to her dad.
Maggie quickly discarded her old one and stuck to the new one without Homer putting it in her mouth.
She gave a suck in satisfaction.
"I must say, that I'm loving the new you, Homer," Marge said.
"Marge, if you think you love me now. Wait until we get into the bedroom" He said, and Marge started chuckling like crazy as he kissed her and said. "Now to find Bart to patch up those holes."
He left the kitchen and found Bart in his room, when he went in he realised how little he had come into Bart's room.
There was a dark blue bookcase in the corner; it was filled with all of Bart's favourite toys, he could see Krusty the clown toys weren't as many as the last time, he went into the room.
There was a medium sized desk that was different shades of orange to his left, with a purple lamp on top, books were scattered over it, and a blue stool was out of it.
The bed was further away; it was a medium-sized had but it looked hard, there was an orange bedsheet draped over it and a purple and orange bed cover.
Even the yellow pillow looked hard and uncomfortable.
Beside the bed was two stands, the step closer to the window had an orange lamp while the other one had an orange alarm clock and a photo of Krusty the clown on top of it.
"Bart? Where are you?" He said.
"Under here," Said, the voice of Bart and Homer found himself walking to the bed and looking down.
He was stunned to find a giant hole where the carpet was supposed to be.
Homer looked down and met Bart's eyes, almost startling him.
"I found Snowball 2" Bart said, and Homer saw a pair of yellow eyes join Bart in the darkness.
"Toss him up, and I'll seal the hole," Homer said.
"Okay," Bart said, before tossing the cat up and Homer caught it.
However Snowball 2 did not like to be touched, by Homer and quickly fled his arms and ran out of the room.
Homer helped Bart out of the hole.
"Can I stay and watch?" Bart said.
And Homer thought, why not?
"Sure, son" Homer said, much to Bart surprise.
Than Homer got the cement from the kitchen and began to seal the hole up, but it did nothing for the fact that there was a giant hole in Bart carpet.
"DINERS READY!" Came the voice of Marge.
Both males got out underneath the bed and made their way to dining room, covered in cement.
"I found snowball 2!" Bart said before saying. "And Dad let me watch him seal up the hole under my bed" much to both Lisa, Marge and Maggie surprise.
"Maybe, next time you can seal the Hole yourself, Bart," Homer said, ruffling his boy's hair lovingly, much to his son shock and everybody in the room.
Homer sat in his seat and felt the chair buckle from his weight.
He needed to lose some weight.
On his right was Lisa, on his left was Bart, when he looked down, he saw Santa's little helper creeping into the room to join them with snowball two trailing behind the dog.
In front of him was a plastic plate and he wasn't the only one, in fact, in front of all the seats was a plastic plate.
He frowned at that.
Marge than began to serve the food in a large blue container, which soon revealed to be filled with a mountain of pees, carrots and bread.
Another Marge's attempt for them all to eat healthier.
Every bone in Homer body wanted him to complain; his cells were screaming for him to demand fatty foods.
"This bite," Bart said, as his mother contaminated his plate with healthy food.
Marge finished Lisa plate before she took Homers and said. "Now, Homer. I know you're going to complain but this is good for you and your body needs it."
But he didn't complain. Instead, he said.
"Okay"
She froze, and everybody froze alongside her, even the animals turned and looked at him.
"What, was that, Homer?" She said, she must be hearing things.
"I said, okay" He repeated himself before grabbing a plastic fork his left and digging into the peas before putting it into his mouth.
His body was telling him to spit it out, but he was swallowed it.
Marge and the kids looked at him and were stunned.
"What?" He said.
"Homer...you're eating it, and you're not complaining," Marge said, looking out of the window as if she expected the sky to turn green or animals would suddenly start raining down from it.
She wasn't the only one since Lisa was doing that as well.
"Marge. I am morbidly overweight." Homer said, shocking them all. "And I'm not okay with that. I don't feel confident or sexy, anymore. I wonder if my heart will give out at any moment. How can I be there for you and the kids, if I get winded just walking a couple of steps? If I have to change my diet, so that nobody looks at me as if I'm about to have a heart attack, so be it."
Then Homer poked a carrot and picked it up with a fork before taking a bite out of it, his mouth rejecting it, but he pushed through the taste and swallowed it.
The whole family was stunned.
The blow to the head had turned Homer into a competent man.
They couldn't believe it.
And scene!
Next chapter, Homer competence continues as he goes to work and finds out how unqualified he is to do his job, which makes him check out a couple of books from the library. Review/fav and follow!
