I do not own The Simpson.
Enjoy!
Only once before had Lisa Simpson got to fly first class on a plane and it was just as amazing as she remembered it.
There was Wifi, the seats were comfortable and spacious, she was given amazing food, heating and she could watch Television while sleeping.
Plus, there was no horrible engine smell that she had to breath and her seat had her name on It.
"Would like to listen to classic or jazz?" said, a woman holding two heads phones.
Lisa was in heaven, she couldn't believe how good her life was right now.
She had friends, went to an academic rich school, looked great and she didn't have to watch as her mother had to work herself to death to make sure the family was going to be okay when her dad kicked the bucket.
If she had known that a good whack on the head was all her father needed for her father to become an amazing dad than she would have done so the moment she could swing hard enough.
It was a few hours of wonderfulness, before the plane touched down in Manhattan and she and Simon got off the plane, the first-class people left first and had a more luxurious way out, which involved flowers and snacks.
Her and Simon had a car waiting for them and got in.
"Next stop, Row NYC" said, the driver before driving off to the town square.
When both Lisa and Simon saw the hotel, they were amazed.
Simon more than Lisa because he was a lawyer in Springfield and couldn't afford such a fancy place.
They walked past the bell-hop who bowed to them, and people came to get their luggage and take it inside.
The inside was breath-taking, they walked to the reception counter and the person at it smiled.
"Hi, my name is Lisa Simpson and this is my family Lawyer, Simon" Lisa said, "My mom, Marge Simpson booked us a stay here"
Lawyer?
At the mere mention of the world, there was suddenly pressure for the hotel to be fair and upfront with her.
And seeing her dress so well and it wasn't unusual for rich people kids to come here with a proxy guardian, the woman went to the computer to check.
She found it within seconds.
"Oh, here you are" She said, "Your mother booked you two, in two Superior one bedrooms for two days"
Obviously because of school on Monday and there was no way either Homer and Marge was going to allow their child to sleep in a room with a over 20-year-old man.
"Here is Kyle, who will take you to two to your rooms" She said, and suddenly a young gorgeous looking man in a staff uniform appeared.
"Ooh" Lisa said.
"Right this way" Said, the man and all of them went to the really nicely light elevator and then walked down the very nicely light hallway.
Jesus. How much is Homer Simpson making? Simon couldn't help but think about his employer, he had only seen details needed for a lawsuit and Homer Simpson was suing just for over a thousand-dollar worth of stuff?
This looks like a three hundred to four-hundred-night hotel.
The first room to unlock was Lisa room and Lisa was very impressed when she saw it and then Simon was right next door.
Lisa came in and somebody put her suitcase down.
"The restaurant and candy factory is open at all hours of the day" Said, the man. "Anything you spend here will be billed to your parents who have agreed to be billed. We hope you have a wonderful stay"
Meaning, her father was most likely going to be footing the bill for anything like a spa or something.
They all walked out.
Lisa got her phone and called home immediately, she had promised to call home the moment she was settled in.
The phone was ringing.
"Hello. You have reached Ground Keepers R Us. What business do you have with us?" she heard.
"Bart!" She said, and then she heard the sounds of her brother's laughter on the other end.
"Oh, hey, sis" Bart said, "Let me, give the phone to dad"
There was sounds of running feet and him yelling. "DAD! LISA'S IS CALLING!"
Their mother was at her confidence building group.
Soon, Lisa heard.
"Hello, Lisa" Homer said, "Are you settled in?"
"Dad, the flight was wonderful and this room is so spotless" Lisa said, "I can't wait to go out and start exploring."
"We'll, Lisa...I hope you have a wonderful two days and see you in the early hours of Monday" Said, Homer. "I just got my pay check so I want you to have a wonderful time. If you want to go to the Spa, then feel free to do so. But Lisa I can't stress to you how important it is to make sure any money that I've given you is locked up tight. Don't use a credit card, use a debit card and make sure there is always somebody to watch your stuff"
He was speaking from experience, this city was a den of snatchers because they know it was a hot spot for tourists.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will" Lisa said, with her high IQ and responsibility, she knew not to spend like her life depended on it and would keep an eye out.
"Now go and have fun" Said, Homer. "I can't wait to see what you've been up to" than the phone went dead.
The moment it did so, Lisa got out her Laptop.
The Simpson used to only have one Laptop but now they each had their own individually, she had decorated her with hearts and science stuff so that it would make her brother burf.
She went on the internet only to find out she didn't know the hotel connection password too late, but her laptop picked it up and Lisa saw that she could buy internet connection here at higher prices than in Springfield.
However, the prices weren't criminal.
"We'll, I'm going to be Skyping" Said, Lisa before clicking on the height speed for two days, it was billed to the tab, her father would get at the end of her stay.
She was on the internet in seconds.
"Wow, it's so fast" She said, before logging into her Skype Account and seeing all her friends.
She had friends!
She invited one of them over to chat, Jessica.
The brown-haired girl with ponytails and glasses appeared, and behind her was a very impressive looking bed.
"Jessica...Guess where I am?" Said, Lisa.
"Manhattan?" She said.
"How did you know?" Lisa said.
"You forgot to turn your location off when you signed in" She said.
And Lisa saw that there was indeed her location on her screen.
"Oh" Lisa said, embarrassed and turning it off.
But then they both screamed.
They were going to have some much fun.
#Hour later#
"Bye, Marge" Homer said, giving his wife and two remaining kids a kiss before being handed his lunch.
"Bye, dad." Bart said.
"Bye homer" Said, Marge.
And even Maggie was more affectionate towards him.
He walked out of the house and saw Ned, mowing the lawn.
"Howdy Neighbour" Said, Ned.
"Hi, Ned" Said, Homer.
"Thanks for giving me those tips" Said, Ned.
"No worries" Said, Homer. "If you need emotional support than I'm a phone call away."
"Thanks Homer" Ned said.
It was a slow and painful process for him, letting his kids be exposed to stuff that he made sure to keep them away from.
The first was purchasing fizzy drinks for their lunch and telling them they could have it, then came the burger.
But it was one step at a time.
And Homer may have been a questionable father in the past but Ned couldn't deny that now Bart seemed to have evened out with his bad ways and even had multiple girlfriends.
Homer went into the car and drove off to work.
When he drove, the idea of moving his family out of Springfield to a lot more suitable town began to grow in his mind, it was too late for Lisa and Bart but Maggie had a childhood ahead of her and being surrounded by a place that was literally falling apart was something he didn't want for her.
Homer car soon trailed behind a trunk that seemed to come from nowhere, but what alarmed Homer was the boulders that it was carrying and the fact that the back wasn't securely locked.
Fearing for his safety, Homer tried to get out of the line of fire in case the boulders were released by turning right.
The trunk turned right and the boulders almost jumped over the right side of the truck.
He turned left, and the trunk turned left.
It was as if, the Truck wanted him in the line of aim.
Than the boulders got lose and Homer found himself trying to steer his car out of the way, he tried to swerve but the trunk was there to make sure to block his path.
It was only through the small training he had with Ned Flanders to train his hand eye coordination that he managed to dodge on the boulders, each one heavy enough to come through his protective car casing and go straight for his head.
He turned a shift corner out of the trunks way and took a different route to work.
"Thank you, Ned Flanders" Said, Homer, he could have seriously injured or killed back there.
And Ned in his house, sneezed.
#Inside the Truck#
"We could have killed Homer Simpson back there" Said, a familiar voice in a black cloak and wearing a mask.
"Getting him hit in the head...killing him" Said, the driver who was also in a black cloak, before laughing. "What's the difference?"
#Scene change#
The wives of the Simpson neighbourhood were out watching the Simpsons house again, the miraculous transformation of the Simpson home that was now rich meant that something was most likely always happening.
Today was such a day.
They were all shocked, when a bunch of rich looking cars parked in front of house suddenly, and out came women who had glowing skin and looked like they had money as well.
The wives were shocked to find the women did in fact go to the Simpson home and knock on the door, out come Marge Simpson and who hugged each and every one of them before inviting them inside.
The truth was plain for them all to see.
Marge had made friends with women who were better than the housewives of the neighbourhood!
The appearance was so shocking that the news soon exploded amongst the whole neighbourhood wives.
They remembered that Marge did not always fit into the group but now she had better friends than they had.
On the phone they all agreed to 'suddenly' show up at the Simpson Home.
Marge was confused when she heard a knock at the door.
"Excuse me" She said, as her friends from her confidence classes sat in her living room.
She went to the door and opened it, only to be confused to see the wives of the neighbourhood.
"Hi...Marge" Said, Sara Wiggum. "By some crazy coincidence, we all thought we can come over and visit."
And if it was the Marge without the confident classes, she would have been overjoyed to have so many women over.
But she couldn't help but remember none of them were actually friends that she made without her husband doing stuff with the other.
She often spent mornings and afternoons praying that somebody would just come over and talk to her.
"I'm sorry but can't you all come back another time?" Said, Marge, shocking them. "I have friends over and there is not enough space in the living room"
"Friends?" Said, Sarah. "Aren't we your friends, Marge?"
And Marge wanted to cave at all the eyes looking at her.
But.
If her husband can stand up to people than so can she.
"I-I don't think friends only spend time with each other because our husbands are hanging out with each other for a night" Said, Marge, shocking them all. "I'm alone on most days and not one of you came to visit me. Now that I have better financially stable friends, you're calling us friends? Shame on you all!"
Then she shut the door, shaking.
Suddenly a hand was on her shoulder, and then four pairs of her hands were on her shoulder.
"That was so brave of you" Said, a large woman quietly.
"Our Teacher would be proud" Said, her first friend, Amy who she sat next to in class and Marge had never felt so supported in her life.
They went back to the living room.
#Springfield Candy Store#
"What should we get?" Said, Terri.
"Urgh. Candy?" Said, Alex Whitney. "If I wasn't on a diet, no remotely cool person would be caught dead here."
"Y-Yeah, seeing all these uncool kids cramps our style" Said, Sherri.
It was Saturday and a lot of kids had flocked to the candy store.
But then the door opened and in come two boy's that Springfield Elementary kids had only seen far across the street for the past couple of weeks.
Bart Simpson and Milhouse Van Houten.
Bart wore a t-shirt that said in a small red box 'Supreme' over it was a military like jacket, he wore blue rolled up shorts that had a brand on it with blue writing and grey trainers in his hand was his skateboard.
However, Milhouse transformation was the most shocking since he was handed that 'Gucci' t-shirt he got from Bart and black shorts that said 'Bap' at the button of them, he wore the shoes that Bart had given him.
Both of them looked like kings in the heard of sheep.
Alex Whitney attitude of 'I'm the coolest thing here since silence bread' disappeared when she saw the two.
Not only did they dress better than her but they both went to a much better school than her.
Nobody expected Montessori kids to be interested in anything to do with Springfield or a candy shop.
If she was popular here than they were superstars.
Milhouse got a trolley.
"So, what are you feeling, Milhouse?" Said, Bart asking his best friend. "It feels like ages since I had any piece of candy."
He was asking because Milhouse diet was a lot freer than his right now.
"I was thinking some jawbreaker or exploding candy?" Said, Milhouse.
All the kid's in the row eyes were wide, when they saw them.
They were so envious of Milhouse, because he was best friends with Bart Simpson whose family was now loaded, he was going to that big fancy school, going to places they could afford unless it was a birthday party and dressing like he never went to Springfield Elementary.
He had gone from the bottom of the pile to being socially better than them in weeks.
And then Milhouse saw it.
"We can have those candy-bars with those cool cards inside and play with them" Milhouse said.
And Bart looked at the price of each candy bar, each one came with a pack of 7 cards so it was about 3 bucks each.
"Are you willing to eat 10 candy bars to get a decent set?" Bart said.
"We can split it 50:50, and eat it at break and lunch time" Milhouse said.
"And get sick?" Bart said.
"Defiantly, get sick" Milhouse said.
And Bart put the 10 bars in the trolley, effectively bagging more than any kid in the store.
"Do you want a slushy?" Bart said, looking at the slushy machine.
Suddenly somebody 'accidentally' bumped into Milhouse.
"Ow" Milhouse said.
"Sorry" Said, Alex while not really being that sorry. "Clumsy me"
The kid's watching gasped.
Alex was going for it because she was popular.
"Bye, Bart. Bye, Milhouse" She said, surprising the two before walking away, she thought they would soon call her back and invite her into their circle.
But then.
"Who was that?" Milhouse said, his words were like a slap across her face. "Does she go to our school?"
What!?
Alex was one of the prettiest girls in Springfield Elementary, Milhouse knew who she was a month or two ago and would have fainted if she talked to him.
But you couldn't blame him.
He had seen the other side.
He had seen girls who had whole make-up crews with years of experience, dedicated to making them look good, at every hour of the day.
She went to a free run-down school and was lucky to have money to top up on her cheap make-up.
There was no way, she could compete with that.
"I think she's the morn who convinced the principal to threw a prom for 8-year olds who still think the opposite gender is gross." Said, Bart, adding another insult to her. "No wonder my sister dumped her as a friend."
If his father saw Lisa dressing like she's 16 years old than he would not allow her to leave the house.
Their words left a burn on her face.
Some kids began to laugh, not so secretly.
The embarrassment was too much and she said to Terri and Sherri.
"Let's bounce. My diet is much better without eating sugar and being around lame people" She said.
She made a retreat.
Was somebody else going to try?
However, somebody else stepped up to the plate when Bart grabbed the two slushy and both of them began to head to the very happy looking cashier person.
"Excuse me"
Both Milhouse and Bart turned to find a girl who didn't dress like she was 16.
She had blond hair and blue eyes, she wore a white shirt underneath a pink hoody, blue patterned shirt, long socks and brown platform shoes.
"Excuse me. I'm new at Springfield Elementary. I heard, you guys used to go to my school" She said, "My name is Megan and students at the school are saying I have no chance of befriending either of you. I was wondering if that is true"
"Hmm..." Bart said, looking at her. "Are you stuck up?"
"No" She said.
"Do you care only about fashion?" Bart said.
"Not in a million years" She said, before saying. "If I'm being honest, I much rather prefer to kick a ball than talk about make-up and shoes"
And Milhouse opened his mouth wide open.
"What else do you know about me?" Bart said.
"U-Ur, I just know that the two of you wear nice clothes and can afford to spend 30 dollars' worth of candy?" She said.
Silence.
" ….How do you feel about chocolate?" Bart said.
"I love the stuff" She said.
"Walk with us" Both Milhouse and Bart said.
And she did.
The kids who only looked at them from a far, felt like they were just slapped in the face.
Did a tomboy just get into the Montessori boys' group?
And scene!
Next chapter, Lisa comes to find everybody but her dad waiting for her. When she comes Home, she finds out her dad is too afraid to leave the house and is thinking about moving the family out of springfield. Review/fav and follow!
