Author Note: I felt like the summary for what was supposed to be this chapter was way too big of a time leap. So, this chapter is what happens in the time between the massive confrontation.
I do not own the Simpson.
Enjoy!
"M-Mr Simpson, you know there is no need to go that far. Boy's will be Boy's" Principle Skinner said, trying to stop him from going that far, the board of directors would be breathing down their necks.
Lawsuits were private.
"Tell that the hundreds of dollars' worth of clothes, shoes and phone, those boys flushed down the toilet and the money they stole by impersonating him," Homer said, before saying. "How can I entrust you with my kids if you don't even bat an eye to stuff like this? My kids won't be going to your school until I have a proper lawsuit. Goodnight Mr Principle" than he hung up before the man could say a word.
Than Homer walked out of the Bathroom, into his and Marge's room before going to Bart's room.
Bart who was dressed in his expensive Krust the Clown Pj's, groaned when he felt a handshake him gently awake, he peeled his eyes open and turned, not expecting to see his dad.
"Bart" Homer said, in a whisper. "Do you want to be home-schooled for a bit?"
Suddenly Bart was up and fully awake, perhaps, it was the humiliation he suffered earlier on today or that his parents were bound to ask why he didn't have his phone with him when they tried to call him.
"Really?" Bart said, stunning Homer for a bit.
"I'm serious. I was thinking your mother could teach you. She does have an advanced degree and is much more qualified to teach, than any of the teachers in that school." Homer said, "You can spend time with her"
"Dad. That is the best news's I've heard all day." Bart said, how could he tell his father that he had to wear his old and cheap clothes or the same thing would happen to him again?
"I've called the school about the home-schooling. You'll be back in a month or so" Homer said, just when he was going to get his paycheck.
"Okay, dad" Bart said, before Homer got off the bed and began to walk out.
"Good night, Bart" Homer said.
"Good night, dad" Bart said, smiling.
Than Homer closed the door and made his way to Lisa room, only to find Lisa was awake and without any make up on.
"You heard?" Homer said.
"Really thick walls" Lisa said, before sitting up. "Why do you want me and Bar to be Home-school. What are you going to do?"
Homer sat down on her side, and she moved up as he said. "Lisa... I'm going to be the kind of man that I should have been from the start. What those bullies did to Bart doesn't deserve to be brushed under the rug. If I allow you and Bart to go to School knowing what I'm about to do, the Bullies might come after both of you, or the school will try to get you to talk to me about what I'm about to do. If those bullies don't learn a thing, they will grow up to be much worse as adults because they learned that they could get away with stuff like this as kids. We can't afford to replace what was lost right now."
They really couldn't.
The bills that they dodged for years were eating at the last of their money from Mr Burns.
Lisa hearing this said. "Then...I'll like to be home-schooled by mom as well. It would be a lot better to be in a class with a teacher who cares and has nice chairs to sit on."
"So glad, you understand, Lisa" Homer said, giving her a hug before making his way back to his and Marge's room.
Marge looked at him sternly, he know she had heard and he gave her a pleading look.
"Okay, fine," Marge said before she said. "I'm making sure our kids get the very best education from their mother. I've been to that school, the education is appalling."
"Thank you, Marge," Homer said, kissing her on the cheek before laying down and turning off his lamp.
When morning came, Bart and Lisa were shocked to wake up at 10 o'clock and find their mother showing them the kitchen that had been converted to a 'learning room', a heater was put next to them so that they didn't have to turn off the fridge.
Meanwhile Homer after he had dropped Maggie off, was busy reading on how to do his job and would every once in a while check to see if there was any problems.
#Mr Burns office#
"Yes, make my more money, you monkey." Mr Burns said, in his signature pose and in his signature green suit sitting in his comfort brown chair, His assistant Smithers poured him a glass of red wine.
#After Shift#
Homer walked out of his workstation to find his friends waiting for him.
"Hey, Homer," Carl said. "Lenny and I are heading to Moe's to get beers and watch the game. Want to come with us?"
"Yeah, it hasn't been the same without you, pal." Lenny said, it has been really boring since Homer stopped coming and Moe was sadly finding out how much profit Homer was contributing to his business by being a drunkard.
And Homer really wanted to spend time with his friends but than his mind remembered his family waiting for him at home.
"Sorry, guys" Homer said, surprising both of them. "I'm trying to be a good father to my own kids. I can't come home drunk out of my mind" than he left.
He would have broken his promise to Marge and the Kids, if he had a beer.
His friends were shocked.
Was that really Homer?
Homer walked out of the exit and got into the car park, before driving home.
When he walked into the house, he heard the sound of voices coming from the kitchen.
He walked in there and was surprised to see Marge's old school books on the table and both Lisa and Bart, dressed in 'Supreme' clothes, writing on paper, hard at work, Marge was hunched over, with her hair permed down and Maggie was in her new high chair.
All of them must have gotten her from the day-care.
"Hello, Marge," Homer said, kissing his beautiful wife. "Hi, kids."
"Hi, dad/ Homer," Marge and the kids said.
Homer went to the fridge and took out some salad that Marge made.
"Dad, mom is amazing. She is so much better than my teacher" Lisa said.
"Yeah, mom actually looks like she cares," Bart said. "And she gets up to help."
It seemed both of them were enjoying the home-schooling.
Marge blushed at the praise and said. "I just really enjoy being useful around here and sharing my knowledge with the kids."
"Well, if there is anything your stuck on, feel free to ask me as well. You don't have one parent, you have two." Homer said, stunning them all.
However, Bart was mysterious quiet which Homer noticed immediately, a startling contrast to Lisa who's mouth was running a mile a minute and looking to be loving the fact her parents were teaching her new things she would have never have learned in school.
However he wasn't going to press his son.
They had dinner and went to bed.
For the next month, it was nothing but Homer dropping Maggie off, reading as he works and coming home to help, Marge anyway he could.
And without him knowing it, he had managed to grow actual hair at the back of his neck which he kept in the ponytail.
His family were especially amazed at this discovery.
Maybe the cure to having his hair back was the fact that he wasn't bitter anymore.
Meanwhile Homer predictions about the school came true.
Without Bart and Lisa in school, the school had no choice but to realise he was deadly serious.
Both Skinner and Superintendent Gary Chalmers were there in Chruch when the Simpson walked in with super high class expensive clothes and Jewellery, then they each gave 50's like nothing, even the baby, when it was time to give.
Even the Reverend looked shocked to see the Simpson new found wealth and was even thinking of inviting them over for dinner as special guests.
The money, they gave was used to get nicer seats which everybody in the church appreciated immediately.
So Skinner had no choice but to make a phone call to each and every one of the boy's families about the very real lawsuit they may be facing because of what their children did.
The phone call caused the parents of the boys to rain hell over their children, when they found out their kids had picked on a child that could sue them.
Usually they would look the other way because the kids they bullied, weren't likely to have rich relatives or be rich themselves, but they messed up hugely this time.
All four boys, came to school with faces that showed the ass whooping their parents gave them the night before and were given a mission to make friends with the kid they bullied, hoping it would make the kid talk to their father.
However, they Nelson and his crew had been bullies for so long, they didn't know how to make friends without intimidation.
But they didn't even get to try.
Both Bart and Lisa stayed home and Homer had fixed an eyehole onto the door so that Marge could see who was on the other side if somebody came knocking.
Marge protected her children when she saw the Bullies.
"Bart, Lisa. Hide!" Marge said as they all ducked and covered, under the table and waited for the bullies to go.
The cloth that they brought was severing them well in hiding them.
The bullies finally left, unfortunately it wasn't the last time they would come over, either with their parents or by themselves.
And because the walls were so thick at the school, it was long until another kid stumbled across Skinner talking about the lawsuit against the bullies, school and staff.
That kid told another kid and that kid told his group of friends, who then told their parents.
Who's parents told their neighbours and friends.
It wasn't long until the whole town was talking about the lawsuit the Simpsons were apparently going to file against Springfield Elementary.
The Simpson didn't go out much so only Marge and Homer know how much of hot topic they were.
Then it was the day that Homer and his family had been waiting for.
Payday.
Mr Burns had come into the age of technology with the help of Smithers, there weren't any physical paychecks anymore, he directly deposited the money into all of their accounts digitally.
Homer as he was about to leave, got a notification on his phone.
It was from the Bank.
"Dear, Mr Simpson. We have talked to your employer, and he has confirmed that the deposit that has appeared in your account has come from him and that you have been offered a raise as a result. We would like to welcome you and your family to the top 1% in Springfield. We will be sending you your gold card shortly, and you are still free to use your present Card. If you have an issue, feel free to call our bank at any time."
Not only was the tone drastically different from the messages he had been given before but he could tell that now that he had a million in the family bank account, the bank was going to bend over backwards for him and his family.
So now, he could actually file the lawsuit.
Homer began to walk faster, ignoring anyone who called out to him and then entered his car.
He drove straight home, and his family watched as he went upstairs and came down, in a light blue shirt, dark blue blazer, cream suit pants, Italian shoes and on his arm was a golden wristwatch that was a wedding gift.
Homer was looking sharp.
"Dad, you look like your worth a million bucks" Lisa said, in a white t-shirt with a triangle on it and black leggings.
"That's the point" Homer said, as he came down. "Today, I got my paycheck and we're now in the Springfield top 1%"
The whole family was stunned, they were now rich!?
A part of them didn't believe it but than Homer showed the family Bank balance to all of them via phone and they had to believe it.
"Going to get a lawyer" Homer said, singing before walking out.
"Wait. Did Dad just say he was getting a Lawyer?" Bart's voice said, from behind him.
Homer got into his car and drove his way to the Springfield Lawyer firm.
The parking lot was drastically different, because only the better off could park here and the building looked grand and made out of rich stone.
Homer parked within it and his presence immediately caught eyes.
After all, the whole town was talking about his lawsuit and now they were seeing Homer Simpson actually walk into a Law firm.
Those who saw him, snapped pictures on their phone and posted it online, it went viral within minutes in Springfield.
For certain people, the photo evidence was a death sentence.
Homer walked up the steps and walked onto the clean marvel floor and instantly saw a large desk that was way more well-kept than he was used to and in bronze letters were the word 'Reception'.
He walked to the desk were two women in suits were stationed at it.
They had both just seen the viral image seconds before and now they were seeing the real thing.
"C-Can we help you sir?" said, the woman in front of him and near her was a computer.
"Yes, I'm looking to file a lawsuit against Springfield Elementary school, and the families of Jimbo, Dolph Kearney and Nelson Muntz." Homer said, recalling the names Lisa was happy to give up.
The surrounding people gasped, it was really happening.
Homer Simpson had the money to sue.
Homer Simpson was like the best soap opera to the people who came in, because they never thought that a parent whose children go to such a school would have the money and power to sue.
"I-Is there any lawyers who would work for 600 dollars and below an hour?" Homer said.
"There are many Lawyers here who would be more than happy to take your money," said, the woman. "You would find them on your right."
"Thank you," Homer Simpson said, walking to the right corridor.
The moment he left, the women posted about him online.
The student board and the families involve were very much aware of what was going on.
"Pick me, Mister Simpson!" said a guy in a grey suit and blond hair.
"No pick me!" said, a female in a dark pure suit and black hair.
All of the lawyers in the corridor were begging to be picked, the price he was offering was huge to them and the Springfield population couldn't afford to file many lawsuits.
"I'll be willing to do it for 200 dollars per hour and if you don't win, I'll won't take a cut" said, a man in blue suit pants, white suit shirt and blue shoes, he had brown hair.
Homer went to him and the Lawyers who weren't picked were disappointed.
Homer found himself in a small room with a brown carpet, metal cabinets on both sides and a large desk in front of him, the man walked behind it and sat down a soft chair.
"First case?" Homer said.
"How did you know?" Said, the man, surprised.
"It tidy and neat, and your willing to take the case for so low" said, Homer, showing his knowledge of a law firm.
"Your right on the ball, Mr Simpson. What can I help you today?" Said, the man, Homer was not surprised he knew his name,
Homer took out his phone and then did something to it before giving it to him.
The man saw it was a video and pressed play, what he saw next exposed exactly why he was suing.
When the video finished, the man began to write something down.
"Well?" Homer said.
"Mr Simpson, you have a solid case," Said, the man, with a smile because this meant that this was a huge lawsuit and he would get a huge payday. "If this was my son, I would be suing the school and the family of these boys as well. This video is vital to your case. With this footage, you can hit them with all sorts of charges. The damaging and stealing of one's property. Identity theft. Assault to one's person. And for the school, you can hit them with wilful neglect. They should have called you immediately and had those children expelled and forced to pay you back. But your son had to sit in his underwear for who knows how long. I can't imagine the sheer embarrassment your son must have felt as he sat there and near one of his bullies no less. This is a solid case, Mr Simpson."
"Good," Homer said, with hands on his hips. "How can I be a father and turn a blind eye to this? If these kids think it's okay to do this than who knows how many other kids, they've done this too or how worse they would be as adults? I spent countless hours training just to get the money to send my kids to school looking nice, and this was what happened. The staff kept quiet about this, and I wouldn't have known if my daughter hadn't come forward."
"Mr Simpson, I can see that you are a very passionate Father" said, the man. "And I will be more than happy to take your case and get justice for your son. With video proof like this, there is no way you can lose."
Then the man got out a stack from his cabinet drawer and a cash machine.
"These papers are just you agreeing to my terms, and the machine is for the first payment so that I can begin work" Said, the man. "once everything is signed, I'll file the lawsuit with the administration office and in 2-3 working business day, each person you are suing will receive a letter that you are indeed suing them and that they need to prepare their own lawyer"
Meaning, those who harmed his son we're about to get a very rude awakening.
"I'll sign, but I'll need to read it first," Homer said, surprising him. "I've got all day to read. Ill be paying you by the hour and want to make sure, my money worth it."
The old him would never do that, but he knew that Lawyers were crafty people and could swindle you easily if you don't read what they offer.
However then Homers phone went off beside the man.
Homer took the phone and saw it was Principle Skinner.
He put it on loudspeaker as he answered the call.
"WAIT, MR SIMPSON! DON'T SIGN ANYTHING YET!" Said the panicked voice of Principal Skinner.
"Principal Skinner, I was just about to sign." Homer said and the man near him got out a recording tape free of charge.
"Me and the families have agreed to come to a comprise" the man said, the board of directors had just breathed down Superintendent Gary Chalmers neck about why a parent was suing the school.
Both of their jobs were on the line to settle it with Homer.
"Please, don't sue!" Skinner said. "The families and I would like to make it up to you and your son. The school has opened, and the families are here. Please, don't sign."
There a long pause on Homer end, he could hear genuine fear in Skinner's voice.
"Alright, than. Me and my family will head to the school tonight" Homer said, as Skinner breathed a sigh of relief. "And you have better make it worth my time" than he hung up.
Homer turned to the Lawyer and said. "I'll pay you 40 bucks if you come with me and bring your record as well, by the hour."
"Deal," said, the man, smiling.
They both walked out of the room.
Homer hadn't been joking.
He really was bringing a lawyer the next time anybody at the school saw him.
And scene!
