"Bart sweetie! Come in you're just in time for supper." Is what mom said when she opened the front door.
"Great! Cause I'm starved!" He answered rubbing his stomach.
There was a lot of talk at the table, about Maggie in school, about Bart's wedding. Bart said that things were so busy lately with all the planning; he had decided to sleep here tonight.
After dinner I took a nice warm shower and collapsed on the guest room bed my mom had prepared for me earlier that day. Leaving me alone with my thoughts. Milhouse called me earlier that day and he asked me if I got the flowers, I thanked him and said I did… He wanted to come over and check on me, but I told him that I was still feeling bad and that I needed to rest. That was a total lie.
I don't know what to think anymore. I shouted (in my brain of course). Sometimes I think that who I really like is Nelson… Other times I think Milhouse is the one… Now what do I do? Mom said she likes Nelson better (which everyone already knows), but then again Maggie said that I should trust Milhouse and there's also the fact that he doesn't have the responsibility of four kids on his shoulders and Nelson does, which isn't good... Oh Buddha in haven what do I do now? My thoughts paused when I heard someone coming in. Bart. "Oh sorry I didn't know you were in here… I usually sleep in this room when I stay." He apologized.
"That's ok…" I said not even bothering to look at him.
"It doesn't matter I'll sleep on the sofa…"
I sat up and called to him. "Wait, don't go! Uh… Could I ask you something?" I desperately needed some advice and he knows Milhouse and Nelson better than anyone I could think of.
"Uh- yah, what about?" He said sitting next to me on the bed.
I start from the beginning, when I first came home, and kindda went on a date with both of them, I even told him about the kiss. "Well I don't know what to say sis," He scratched his pony-tailed head in a way to think better. "Though I don't approve of you double dating-"
"I'm not double dating!" I interrupted, frustrated by his comment.
"Whatever. I not sure if I can help you, sis."
"Why? You know both of them better than anyone does!" I said in exasperation.
"I know! But this is something you have to work out by yourself…" There was a slight pause and he sighed. "You know who's side I'm gonna be on, so It's kind of stupid to ask me."
"I know…" I huffed.
"Sleep on it, ok? I bet the answer will come to you in the morning." Bart leans over and gave me a concerned- big-brother kiss on the forehead, "Good night, lil' sis. Sleep well."
"Good night Bart. You sleep well too." I collapse on my bed. That's two for Milhouse, one for Nelson. I thought drifting into sleep. Too bad I still don't have the only opinion that truly matters, mine.
I walked down stairs and grabbed the Saturday morning mail that had already been handed out to us. Overdue bill, overdue bill. Oh my god! Another overdue bill! Bla-bla-bla… Oooh what's this? Looks like a wedding invitation- I realized it was Sasha's and I ran into the kitchen, where my family sat at the table eating breakfast. "Look guys, it's here!"
"What's here sweetie?" Mom asked flipping some flapjacks.
"The wedding invitation!" I answered.
Mom left the pan right where it was and rushed to my side to see it. "Already? I thought you and Sasha just made them yesterday?"
"I guess she sent them overnight." Bart shrugged, and then came to join us.
The whole family crowded around as I ripped open the pink envelope with "Simpsons Family" written on it, and pulled out a cute red heart shaped card with fine gold writing, I read it out loud: "You are invited to the kick-ass wedding of Sasha Jane Burns and Bartholomew Jojo Simpson. The ceremony takes place at the Springfield skateboarder's park, October 5th 5:00 PM sharp. See you there!"
There was a pocket on the side of the card with a small map tucked in it, showing you the way if you already didn't know it. Bart started to laugh for no reason.
"What?" I asked.
Bart pointed to Homer, who was running around the house yelling "Fire! Fire!" for no apparent reason.
"What fire Homie-" Mage asked, she stopped realized there was a something-is-burning smell coming from her flapjack pan. "Aaaaaaa! Quick everyone! Find the fire extinguisher!"
The flapjacks was on fire, both of my parents were running around the kitchen like two chickens with their heads chopped off, Bart was laughing his pants off, and Maggie and I were trying to find the extinguisher.
Once Bart was all laughed out he walked to the refrigerator picked up the red lug and chocked the fire with all its foam. "There's no need to fear, Bartholomew is here!" He triumphantly shouted.
Marge stopped running around and looked at Bart, "Great job honey! I was looking for that! I'm so pr- HOMER!" Homer (not paying attention to where he was going) tripped on Margery, making a pancake out of her.
He yelled, "Honey are you ok? I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"Mmmmmm." She grumbled in a Marge-ish way.
Dad helped her up; she sighed and brushed the dust off her long green dress. "So much for my flapjacks."
Homer walks over to the stove and said, "I don't see anything wrong with this one…" he picked it up and tossed it into his mouth.
"Dad!" Me, Bart, and Maggie yelled.
"Mmmmm… Crispy flapjacks…." He drooled.
"Homie…" Marge said slapping her hand to her face in embarrassment.
I sat there at the table staring into his bright blue eyes, day dreaming a bit while he rambled on about some new car he had just bought. After Bart and Sasha finished rehearsing their vows, we all got in to our cars and drove to Luigi's for celebration. Everyone sat at one long table, and since there weren't very many people, everyone fit in just fine. Mom and dad sat next Mr. Burns and Smithers because she had insisted that her and her Homie needed to get to know their sons future grandfather-in-law better. They were probably talking about the wedding and other such things, I felt sorry for my dad being dragged over there by my mom because no one deserves to be seated right next to that horrible man and his gay life servant.
Maggie sat next to Sasha's younger cousin and some other teens on one side of the table. Milhouse offered me a seat next to him, and without a choice I took it. I didn't recognize the people around us; they were probably from Burns side of the family. I couldn't spot Nelson anywhere. I asked Milhouse where he was and he told me that he had left earlier because of his kids.
Bart stood up from his seat next to Sasha, thank us all for coming to the rehearsal and to dinner and made a long, yet lovely, speech about how happy he was getting married to the woman he loved, and also made some jokes, which all of the us laughed to, including Mr. Burns. He sat down and the dinner started. We ordered some pizzas and I took a glass of coke from a waiter who had offered it to me, Milhouse took some wine from another. "You want some?" He asked me, gesturing towards the reddish-grape drink.
I snorted, "After what happened last time I drank? No thank you!"
He laughed, "Yah I guess I'm the one to blame for that. I was the one who suggested we go to Moe's in the first place." he scratched his head sheepishly.
"That's alright, I should have known better than to drink like there was no tomorrow." I said in a monotone voice.
"You only had two beers!"
"So? The result was still the same."
There was a slight pause then we both started to laugh. "That was a fun time." Milhouse said rubbing his red thick glasses on his shirt.
"It was, except for the part when I got my first hangover. That was hell."
"Tell me about it, though Bart and I had our first hangover when we were eighteen, at Nelson's birthday party. Remember?"
"Yah! That was the same year I left for Yale. That party was awesome!" We spend most of the dinner talking, laughing, and eating pizza of course. We talked to some of the people around us too. One was and archaeologist named Rosaline, she is 's step sister, and she babbled on about her trips to Africa and to Ireland, discovering all sorts of hidden things under their soil.
At one point during the dinner I had overheard half of Bart and Burns conversation and I happened to noticed that he had grown to like Bart, he laughed at his ridiculous jokes and tinted his fingers saying "excellent" whenever he heard about Bart's pranks and/or miss behavior, guess Mr. Burns isn't so bad. I thought.
We left Luigi's place at 11:30 PM, with belly's full and all very tired. Mom, dad, and Maggie made their way to the car and I to the restroom. Half way to the car I was stopped by none other than Milhouse. "Lisa wait! I need to ask you something!" He shouted catching up to me.
"Yes, Mill's? Just make it quick, my family's waiting for me." I said stopping in my tracks.
"Ijustwantedtosaysincewehadsu chagreattimetonightifyouwoul dliketogototheweddingwithmea syourescort…" He rushed.
"Woh slow down! Not that quick!" I said.
"I just wanted to ask you if you w-wanted t-to go to the wedding with me- l-like, as your escort…" he stuttered, in a Milhouse kind-of-way.
I paused for a bit. Don't do it Lees! Nelson likes you! Please, if he sees you with Milhouse it'll break his heart! Said one side of my conscience.
Ahhh, don't listen to that loser! You did say you'd think about it, plus it's not like you two are married or something. You could still have some fun with old Millie here. Said another side.
Lisa, your better than this! Milhouse isn't your type remember? That's why you broke up-
"Lisa?" Milhouse interrupted my thoughts. "So…?"
"Yah, sounds fun." I answered, deciding to listen to the second part of my brain.
"Great! When do you want me to pick you up? The wedding is only in two days." He asked.
"Hmmm… I guess at 4:00, I wanna be at least an hour early." I answered.
"Great I need to be there early too, I am the best man you know." He said all proud.
"Yah, Bart told me. I'm so happy for you, isn't Nelson one too?" I asked. Oh crap Nelson! I forgot he's gonna be there two! Wait, I kindda already knew that… But even so, D'OH!
First part of my conscience: Told you dweeb! Remind me to mentally slap you later! *Snorted and walked away*
"Yah he's one two. Even though we don't get along that well we do have one thing in common, we will always there for Bart no matter what the circumstances… Sorry did that just sound kindda gay?" He asked sort of embarrassed.
I laughed, "Not at all, I know you two have always loved Bart like your own brother-"
"Lisa common! I'm gonna be late for the monkey trauma center marathon on T.V!" My dad shouted out the car's window.
"Homer! Don't be rude! Can't you see Lisa's talking?" Mom scolded Homer for being too assertive.
"Sorry Milhouse, I have to go. See ya later." I hugged him and got into the back seat of the car next to Maggie. "There, now let's just go home and watch your blasted marathon!" I said; mad at my dad for interrupting me so rudely.
"Don't worry sweetie, you can talk to your boyfriend some other time…"
"He's not my boyfriend!" Me and mom exclaimed at the same time, only she changed the 'my' into a 'her'.
"Lisa and Milhouse sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Dad and Maggie chanted together.
"Stop you guys!" I yelled.
Mom just grumbled in her usual way, then looked at me with an angry eye. She was probably mad at the fact that I was talking to Milhouse instead of Nelson. Well, what did you expect? I raised an eyebrow. Nelson wasn't even there.
I hope you liked it and stuff. I am just dying to know... Do you (fans of my story) want Lisa to be with the marvelous Milhouse Van Houten or the charming (very attractive) Nelson Mandela Muntz, or even for those of you who hate love (which is stupid cause then you wouldn't even be reading this story)who would want them both to go away and for Lisa be lonely (which is obviously not gonna happen).
Write a review telling me what you think (like the user Nathanoraptor - who chose Nelson)! And don't forget to take a look at the new and improved first chapter!
