At 10 o'clock the next morning, Mr Burns had come down to two candidates for his second in command. Bart and Lisa Simpson. They were both making points to show why they should be Mr Burns' second in command.

"I've got loads of experience," Bart argued "I mean, I'm used to making people do whatever I want, and I could help you do it better."

"Bart, you're the one who's always being made to do whatever Nelson or any of the other school bullies wants!" Lisa shouted at him.

"Ok, Lisa, why should you be my second in command?" Mr Burns.

"Well," Lisa said "I'm not really used to being in charge of people, but I did have an ant colony once, so I know how that works. Plus I'm quite clever-"

"A nerd you mean!" Bart interrupted.

"Bart, Shush." Mr Burns said. "Go on, Lisa"

"Well, I could research old rulers, to see how they managed to rule people so effectively, and give you a few pointers. Plus- "She whispered in his ear "I'd like to get revenge on a few people"

"What's that you say?" Mr Burns asked.

"Revenge." She whispered back.

"Oh, Revenge, there's a word I hear a lot. So, I shall send someone to inform you and bring you to my mansion if you have been selected. You have one minute to get off my property before I release the hounds."

Later that day, the Simpson kids were watching Itchy and Scratchy when the doorbell rang.

"Homer, get the door!" Marge shouted.

"Bart, get the door!" Homer shouted.

"Lisa, get the door!" Bart shouted.

"Bart, you don't need to shout, I'm right next to you." Lisa said, and then went to get the door.

Outside were two big, muscly men in suits. They looked suspiciously like hired Goons.

"Who are you?" Lisa asked.

"Hired Goons." One of them replied. "Is this the Simpson household?"

"Yes."

"May I speak with a Ms Lisa Simpson please?"

"That's me!" Lisa said, a little nervously.

The other hired Goon started to read from a little piece of paper "You have been selected to become Mr C.Montgomery Burns's second in command. You will pack everything you require and come with us."

Lisa was stunned. She didn't know whether to be happy or scared. So instead she ran to Marge and told her what had happened.

"Oh my…oh, I'm…so proud…I think. My little Lisa, in charge of…" She then fainted.

So Lisa went upstairs to tell Bart and Homer. Homer didn't really understand what it meant; though he got the feeling it wasn't a good thing. Bart was jealous.

"That is so unfair. I'm the one who should have been chosen."

"Yeah, well you weren't, so Nyer!"

She still couldn't believe she had been chosen, and she still couldn't decide whether to be happy or scared.

Just then she heard another knock at the door. She answered it and she saw the hired Goons waiting.

"Could you please hurry up," one of them said, "it's just we've got to kill an enemy of Mr Burns at 11, and we don't want to be late."

"Erm, ok" Lisa said, and ran upstairs to collect everything she thought she would need, which was basically everything she owned. She ran and kissed Marge, waved at Homer, hugged Maggie, and went "Nyer!" at Bart. She then stepped out of the door to her new life.
