Chapter 7
Chucky was hopeful that his proposition for Maggie would get her to stop stabbing him. He decided to give it a try. "STOP!!!" he shouted. "I SURRENDER!" Maggie slowly stopped stabbing Chucky. "Okay listen, I don't really surrender, but…" He was cut off when Maggie raised the knife again. "Just listen! I won't kill you or your mother if and only if you join my side." Maggie acted as though she were thinking about it, and then, she nodded in agreement. "Excellent…" purred Chucky. "Now, do you like your father?" Maggie shook her head. Chucky took the knife from Maggie. "What do ya say we take care of him?" Maggie grinned, and then, the two of them headed for Springfield.
It took the two of them about an hour to get to Springfield, just as it did Homer. Maggie and Chucky were getting tired, but they kept going anyway, knowing that they'd soon kill Homer. At last, after a long, tiring walk, Maggie and Chucky made it to 742 Evergreen Terrace. They tried the front door and found that it was unlocked. The two carefully slipped inside. They went upstairs, where they expected to find Homer sleeping.
Sure enough, they found Homer in bed, squirming around. Apparently, he was having a dream. Chucky approached him and prepared to stab him, when suddenly, Homer rolled all the way over to the other side! "No! Night terrors!" he gasped. Chucky then hurried to the other side, angry that he had to move. But then, Homer rolled over again. "Not more night terrors!" he cried. Chucky growled. Homer squirmed so much that it was almost impossible to get him.
"Okay, Maggie," said Chucky. "You get on one side, and I'll get the other. That way, the bozo's sure to die!" Maggie went downstairs and got a knife. She then did as Chucky asked and got on the opposite side. The two prepared to stab Homer, waiting for him to lean on one side. However, instead of going from side to side, Homer suddenly jumped forward out of bed. He had woken up.
"AH! NIGHT TERRORS!" he cried. Homer looked over at his bed and was startled to see Chucky and Maggie with knives. "REAL NIGHT TERRORS!" he shouted. Homer then ran off downstairs.
"Don't let him get away!" ordered Chucky. Maggie and Chucky bolted down the stairs after Homer. Homer went into the kitchen and got several knives of his own. He began throwing them at Chucky (he would not try to kill his own daughter). However, he missed every shot. Chucky smiled, "You've got to be kidding me." Chucky then roared and leapt for Homer. Homer tossed Chucky off. "You fool! You disobeyed me back in Shelbyville, and now, you're gonna die! I always win, and you will not win against me!" cried Chucky.
"We'll see about that!" Homer said. He then went down to the basement and locked the door. Furious, Chucky and Maggie began banging on the door. Homer knew he didn't have much time to prepare. Chucky and Maggie were strong, so with time, they could eventually break down the door. Homer looked around the basement to see what he could use to fend off Chucky.
