...Thirty minutes ago

Dion, Cig, And Prosper had crossed the border line and finally arrived into Springfield: The world's fattest town. Nostalgia was going through Dion's mind as the van cruised down the road, Passing by everything that he left behind. Though he was gone for two and a half years. It felt like more to him.

"Its good to be back home."

"What? Did you say something?" Cig asked.

"Huh? Oh nothing, I was just talking to myself." He said. "I wonder if everything's still the same." The town seems like it hasn't changed, or any of the people.

Feelings were now going through his mind. Feelings of wonder, joy, eager, and also depression, and for some reason, depression.

"So did you decide where your going first?"

"Yeah, Lisa's house."

"Tch, Told ya he was was going to pick her." Prosper said.

"Shut up man I have to go there first anyway." he growled.

"For what?"

"So we both could go see my parents and Devin."

"Ha, yeah then go to a hotel room." Prosper joked to which Dion just gave him a hard look.

"Anyway, you still know how to get there?" Dion asked Cig.

"Actually I forgot."

Forgot? And he picks now to tell him? Dion, shocked. "Then why are you driving if you don't know where you're going?"

"I know where I'm going, just don't know where your girlfriend's house is."

"Let me drive the rest of the way then."

"Uh, I don't know about that."

"Why not, I can drive."

"I don't usually let a unlicensed 18 years old drive."

"...Dude." Dion said with one eyebrow raised.

Cig sighs, "Fine, dammit." he stops the van on the side of the road and trades places with Dion. "Don't crash." he warns. Dion, Now on the drivers side, gets back on the road."

"I won't crash, I know how to drive. Even better than Prosper," says Dion. Now Prosper gives him a hard look.

"Yeah right bruh." he scoffs

Dion's right, he is actually a pretty good driver. Despite being 18 he was even doing better than Cig was. Considering the fact that he actually knew where he is going. In over 10 minutes they arrived at 742 Evergreen Terrance. He parked up the driveway

"Here we are." Dion said.

"I don't see any cars."

"Must be in their garage."

Dion and Uncle Cig exited the van, but Prosper stayed in listening to music on his ipod. Noticing this Cig signaled him to take out one of his earphones.

"You ain't comin'? Cig asks him.

"Nah I'm good," he puts his earphones back in his ear, Cig shrugs.

This was the moment that Dion has been waiting for. He slowly goes up to the front door, Remembering the first time he had ever set foot in the house. That's also the time he met Maggie and Mr. and Mrs. Simpson. Finally, as he is getting ready to knock, he suddenly stops and just freezes. He puts his head down. "Damn it," Dion mumbles.

Cig seeing this starts to shakes his head. this walks up to Dion. He had seen him like this before, a lot of times. And he knew this was going to happen.

"You're going emo again." he tells him. Dion with emotionless eyes looks up at him but just puts his head back down. "Come on man, put your head up. What's wrong?"

"I been gone for so long," he finally said.

"What do you mean?"

"What if they forgot about me man? What if Lisa had another boyfriend? I haven't been here okay, I don't know if everything's still the same."

Cig gives him a light push."Come on man, isn't this the people that you had never shut up about? And didn't you save your girlfriend from Ante. I don't think that someone would forget something like that. And to add, you were away for two years tops. It's not like you were gone for over a decade."

At first, it seemed if it wasn't going to have an affect on Dion. But after a silence he suddenly started laughing. "Haha, you always know how to get me out this slump. I see that your trying to cheer me up, so at lease I can stop acting emo for awhile. Thanks." he grinned.

His uncle grinned back, "No problem. Now go on,"

Dion nodded turned back to the door. Now this really was it. He took a really long breath. "Well, here goes." Slowly bringing his fist to the door and knocking the 'two shaves and a haircut beat.'


-Lisa and Maggie-

The sister's, Lisa and Maggie continued their way on to the cemetery. Maggie had been rambling on about random stuff ever since they left. Lisa, who stopped listening to her about 5 minutes ago, completely lost in her own mind. She still remembers it clearly. It was about last night, good thing she lied to Bart to keep him from knowing what really happen.

"...And so I had to find something else to wear. Don't you think that's funny?" She ask Lisa who still wasn't paying any attention.

"Uh Lisa?" No response

"Lisa?" Still no response.

"LISA!" She screams in Lisa ear. Lisa yelped and jumped up hard almost falling back.

"Ow, damn Maggie what?" She ask snapped out of trance.

"Had to get your attention. Was I boring you?" She asked with her arms crossed.

"No"

"Then why weren't you listening to a thing I said."

"Oh sorry honey, I was thinking about some stuff that was on my mind."

"So you was ignoring me?

Lisa placed her hands on her shoulders. "No Maggie I wasn't ignoring you either." She kissed her forehead.

Maggie shrugged it off. "Whatever it's not that important anyway." She still seemed a little steamed.

"Hey you wanna stop for ice cream? That will cheer you up?" Lisa offered.


-Dion, Cig, And Prosper-

Its been several minutes and still, no one hasn't came to the door. Everyone was starting to get irritated, even Prosper who was still in the van listening to his ipod.

"Man, what's the hold up?" Prosper yells.

Dion ignores him and starts to knock harder.

"Dion, I don't think anyone's home." Cig tells him.

His knocks get softer and softer and finally he stops. "Damn, of all times to be out it had to be now." he sighs.

"So, what now?"

Dion thinks about it. they could either go wait somewhere and come back later or just go ahead to the Cemetery. It was getting pretty boring and although Cig didn't show it, he was getting pretty annoyed. It wasn't fair to them, they should have left back home already. "Fuck it." "Might as well go see Mom, Dad, and Devin." he announces. Cig nods.

"Who driving?"

"You can if you want to,"

Disappointed they go back in the van. As Dion gets in the passenger side and puts his seat belt on, Prosper finishes listening to one of his songs. "What happened? Where they here?"

Dion shakes his head no while he goes through one of his bags and pull out a pen and paper. Writing something on it.

"Pull up to their mailbox for me." Dion asks as Cig drives out.

"What for?"

"To give them this note saying that I been here looking for them."

Cig does. Dion opens it up, throws the note in, and closes it back. "All right, lets go."

"How do you know there going to check their mailbox when they get home?" Prosper ask.

"If I learned anything from living with them, its that Mr. Simpson always checks his mail 24/7. I don't know why but he does."

As they leave, next door a happy-going christian-dilly man watches them from behind his curtain.

On the road to the Cemetery most of the ride was quiet. Maybe ironic since they have only a little more time together and everyone knew it. Dion could see that Prosper and Cig was getting tired. But they were still with him. And he couldn't help but feel guilty. After leaving from the cemetery he was going to let them go back home. "I could stay in a motel or something until The Simpson's get back home."

He was getting ready to speak up when finally, they arrived at their next destination, Springfield Cemetery.

"Like what Dion said at the Simpson's house: Here we are." He parks in the parking lot and Everybody gets out.

Dion signals the two and they all go to the the tombstones. It doesn't take long to find it since most of them already know where it's at. Now standing right in front of it Dion starts to get flashbacks of when Devin was gunned down and killed by Ante, that bastard. Thank god he made the choice to let him rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life. But now it's time to see them again.

-Lisa and Maggie-

The two finally are now there too. For Lisa not being there for the past 1 and ½ year really gets to her. But it was one of Maggie's first times and she was kinda scared.

"Lisa I'm kinda nervous."

"Don't worry Mags, I'm going to be right besides you.

Maggie smiles and run ahead into the Cemetery. "Race you!"

"Hey, wait up!" She begins to run. But stops when she something in the corner of her eye. A lone vehicle in the parking lot. "Huh? Theirs another family here too?" And for some reason her brain is telling her togo inspect it.

As she goes to it shenotices that the van looked very familiar. As if she seen it before."Where have I seen it?" It wasn't until she was right up close to it when a flashback hits her. Two years ago, when Dion left. "This is Dion's uncle's car, Which means."

Lisa gasped and runs full speed into the Cemetery to find her baby sister, Who wasn't very far just a couple of yards away from her hiding behind a tombstone.

"Ahh you found me." Maggie giggles.

"Come on Maggie." She grabs her arm

"What's going on?" Maggie ask.

"Just come on, you'll see when we get there."

Confused, she just follows.

-Dion, Cig, and Prosper-

The three was now exactly right in front of the burial site. No one was saying anything or making any sounds, just staring at it. Prosper nudged Cig. "What now." he whispered.

"Give him a minute." He whispered back. "This is his first time here in over two years and-

Dion finally steps up. Looking intensely staring at all three tombstones in order. "Mom, Dad, Dev" As he begins his speech an unexpected voice from behind him.

"Dion!"

Dion turned, and was met with a sudden hug with force strong enough to have knocked him down from a little girl-not even older than 10.

"Oh my god, I missed you so much!" She said while tears run down her face.

He watched as she was on top of him sobbing. The moment he got a good look at the bow in her hair it came to him. "Maggie?"

She got up from him "Yeah it's me. Sorry for knocking you down." She wipes her tears from her eyes.

Dion got back up too and wiped the dirt off his pants "Wow, you gotten taller." He says which made her giggle.

"Yeah,"

"Are you the only one here?" he ask. "Where's the others?"

Before Maggie could respond. Another voice came from behind her. "Dion?... Is that you?"

Her voice ranged through Dion's ear as he and everyone else but Maggie immediately glimpsed as Lisa stood away from them a couple feet away. "Lisa."

Lisa tried to say something but couldn't get herself to, As still shocked from the presence of Dion. She holds herself up and starts to hyperventilate and cry.

Immediately, Dion runs to her to hold her in his arms. "It's okay Lisa. I'm here for you and I'll never leave you again." He hugs her to help her calm down.

She stops hyperventilating but continues to sob in Dion's arms. Cig and Maggie watches them. But Prosper turns his head in the other direction. "Oh shit." his voice starts to break.

"Are you crying?" Cig ask.

"What? No I... I thought about something sad." he said wiping his eyes. Cig smirks and Maggie quietly giggles.

Dion was still holding her as she finished up. "Better now?"

Lisa sniffed, "Yeah I really needed that cry." Lisa smiled at Dion and he smiled back.

"That's good to know." (In Dion's Mind) "Wow! Lisa's still beautiful as she was 2 years ago. The only thing that changed was that grew a little and um, developed a more bigger chest. But other than that she was still the Lisa I remembered."

(In Lisa's Mind) "My god! Look at him, I didn't even recognize him at first. He's gotten taller, more buffer, and his voice is deeper. He's even growing a little beard, I might make him shave it off though I'm not really crazy about beards."

"Hey Dion, guess what?"

"What?"

Lisa gives him a passionate kiss on the lips. "That's what."

Dion now gives her a kiss. "That kiss was two and a half years worth."

"Ah, young love." goes Uncle Cig. From a far away distance he sees that a car is being parked in the parking lot. (There on top of a hill so from there spot they can see the parking lot)

"Um Dion, Lisa, I hate to interrupt yall's moment. But you might wanna check this out." He points to it.

They turn around enough to see Bart and Jessica step out the car. "Yo is that Bart?" Dion ask.

"Yeah and Jessica. Looks like there on there way here."

Suddenly Dion had an idea."Prosper, Uncle Cig, hurry up and hide!"

Both stayed confused. "Why?" Both asked.

"Were gonna surprise them. Lisa, Maggie, I'll be right back." They all run off to find a hiding spot.

"Wow, he still act's the same." Maggie said.

"Yeah."

In no time flat Bart and Jessica finds Lisa and Maggie. "Yo Lis, guess whose back in Springfield?"

The rest you should all know if you had read the last chapter. If not, just scan through the last parts of . Anyway this whole chapter was pretty much a flashback on what Dion, Cig, Prosper, Lisa, and Maggie did during what Bart and Jessica was doing. Next chapter, Dion finishes his speech, Dion goes to Bart's and Lisa's apartment, Cig and Prosper leaves, possibly, he sees Homer and Marge again, and many more.
