"God I'm sooo bored." Bart groaned.

Bart and his on-again-off-again girlfriend, Jessica, was in the living room of his and Lisa's apartment lazing about their day watching TV. Having running out of things to do – and for being banned from the town's only skate park for a week, the two just went to the two story apartment in searching of some kind of entertainment, Sadly they haven't found it.

"Don't take the lord's name in vain." Jessica jokingly said.

Bart with an annoyed face, flipped her off, in which she did the same to him. Just simply ignoring her, he started going through channel stations to see what else is on.

"You know, it's you're fault that we were kicked out of the skate park Bart." said Jessica.

"Sure, its my fault that you were the one who got caught."

"Yeah but it was your idea." Jessica pointed out.

Bart just ignored her again. After finding nothing that interest them he just simply gave up. "The impossible happened. Nothing is officially on." Bart threw the remote on the couch. The room fell into a silence, The only sound was the show they was unintentionally watching.

"Well, what you wanna do?" Bart asked.

Jessica shrugged. "I don't know, let's get twisted (high) or something."

"Can't. We ain't got no more weed left."

"Does Milhouse have any?"

"Yeah but I don't get smoking with him anymore."

"Why not?"

"Dude, have you ever been with him when he's high? He doesn't know how to act."

"Well, what about Nelson?"

"You have to pay the dude to smoke with him."

"Well lets go by some."

"With what money?"

"Didn't you get payed yet."

"Hell no,"

"Dammit, I spend all of my cash at the mall." Jessica sighed. "And I guess that Lisa isn't going to lend us any."

Bart shook his head no. "I already owe her my paycheck."

"Well that's just great Bart. Now how are we gonna get any money?

Before he can reply, someone was knocking at the front door rapidly and Bart got up to see who it was.

"Wait!" Jessica ran in the kitchen. "If its one of my folks then I'm not here."

While Jessica was peeping out the side of the wall, Bart continued to the door and looked out the peephole. "Its cool Jes,"

Relived, Jessica went back to her seat as Bart opened the door where his nine year old sister, Maggie. Who was wearing her formal clothes for when she goes to church. "Hey Bart." she greeted as she welcomed herself in.

"Yo Mags, what's up?" Bart closed the door.

"Nothing much, Lisa and I are going to go pay our respects to Dion's family. Is she ready yet?"

"Uh I don't know. I'll go see." But right on cue Lisa comes down the stairs in her pajamas.

"Bart, whose at the door?" Lisa ask wiping her eyes. An awkward silence fills the room as everyone looks at her. "What?" she asks before glancing at Maggie and realizing her mistake. Oh, we was doing that today?"

"Uh, yeah. Look at you, your not even dressed."

"Sorry. I had a rough night and it slipped my mind."

"Rough night? With what?" Bart asks going in the kitchen.

"I couldn't get any sleep,"

Maggie sighed. "How long are you gonna be?"

"Not long, I promise." she said running back upstairs.

"You might as well make yourself at home." Bart said from the kitchen.

Maggie sat next to Jessica on the living room sofa. Whom just stares at her.

"Hi Jessica." Maggie politely says.

"Hey, um, Bart's little sister."

"What? You don't remember my name?"

"Of course I do, it's um, Maddie right?" she said with a smile.

"Maggie." she corrected, crossing her arms.

Bart comes back from the kitchen with two beer in his hands. He gives one to Jessica and sits down with a glancing Maggie looking at the two. "You two drink?" Maggie asks.

"Yeah, well not all the time like Homer but every once and a while." Bart said gulping down his.

"Oh, well what about drugs?" Maggie bluntly asks.

"Oh shit, Jessica it's your time to answer."

"Dammit, well uh Maddie whe-"

"Maggie!"

"Maggie, when you get old enough you'll find out that the stuff they tell you is bad really isn't all that bad.

"Uh-huh okay but that really doesn't answer my question."

Jessica nervously sipped her beer, "Uh yeah sometimes but like Bart said not all day-everyday like an addict."

"...Interesting,"

Suddenly Lisa comes running down the stairs, now in her formal wear. "Pant, told you it wasn't going to be long." Lisa says brushing her hair.

"Whatever lets just go." Maggie got up.

"We might as well get out of the house too. Come on Jessica " said Bart.

"Where we goin?"

"To see if my parents have any money to lend." he whispered to Jessica grabbing his car keys. "You guys need a ride?"

"No thanks, you get more exercise walking. You ready Maggie."

"I been ready for the past 5 minutes."

"It wasn't even 5 minutes, more like 3."

Everyone goes out the door and Bart – being the last, closes and locks the door behind him. Lisa and Maggie begin their walk down the street as Bart and Jessica gets in Bart Honda.

"You still never told me how you got this car Bart." Jessica said.

"Don't worry about it, lets just say I know a guy." he said driving off.

"And would that guy be that ol' Gil guy?"

"NO!"

"You sure?"

"...Shut up Jessica."


Alas arriving at 742 Evergreen Terrance, Bart and Jessica was devastated that no cars were in the driveway. They both got out to knock on the door and got no respond.

"Maybe Flanders know where they went." Bart goes next door and knocks on his door and Ned answering it.

"Hi dilly-ho there Bart." Ned said.

"Hey Flanders, do you know where my mom and dad went?"

"Hmm, sorry Bart but I don't have the slightest-dilly idea."

"Okay." Bart sighed. "Thanks anyway."

Bart goes back to his parents house. "Well Jessica I don't know where my mom is at. But I think that my dad is over at Moe's, so I guess we should go there."

Agreeing they get back in Bart's car.

"Wait Bart." said Ned Flanders catching Bart before he drove off. "About 10 minutes ago, they was this guy who seemed like he were looking for your parents too."

Huh? Well who was he?"

"I can't say that I seen him in town. But he looked everywhere around the house to see if someone was home. I wasn't spying or anything, but I seen him slip something in the mailbox and left."

Bart got back out of the car and went to the mailbox. Opining it inside was a folded up piece of paper.

"Its a note." he said unfolding it and reading it to himself.

"What does it say?" Jessica asked.

Bart didn't respond.

"Bart what is it?"

Suddenly Bart's eyes got wider and he gasped. "Oh my god!" Bart ran back to in his car and drove out of the driveway.

"What?"

"We gotta go find Lisa now!" he said speeding down the road. "They said they were going to the cemetery right?"

"Yeah, but why? What wrote the note?"

"It was Dion Jes, he's back in Springfield."

"Dion? Wait, isn't that Lisa's boyfriend?"

"Yeah he left 2 years ago and now he back."

"Wow. Why did he leave."

"When his brother died, his uncle got in touch with him and let him stay for a couple of years."

"And now he's back and looking for us?" Jessica asked.

Bart smiled. "Pretty much."

It didn't take long for Bart to make it to the cemetery after looking for a little of while Bart spotted Lisa and Maggie staring at the back of a tombstone row.

"There they go." They both got out and ran up to them. "Yo Lis, guess whose back in Springfield?"

Lisa turned around with tearful eyes. "Was it Dion?"

"Yeah, but how did you know?"

"Its been a long time Bart." a voice said from behind him. Recognizing the voice he smiled. "Same to you too...Dion." He said turning around. Dion stood behind him with his uncle and cousin behind him.


Dion made it to Lisa and Maggie before Bart could make it to them. All would be explained in the next chapter. (Maybe including a flashback of when Dion went over to the Simpson house to see Lisa.)

You know what to do at this point.
