A/N: Okay first off I am going to do something different and dedicate this story to Velvet Starlight because He/she (Sorry I have no idea if you are a guy or a girl, your most likely a girl though hence the name but I want to make sure and not look too stupid) made a suggestion that he/she hoped that Mr. Burns would make another appearance. For about a week I kept saying to myself "I don't think it can work since I have the whole story planned out already and I don't think I can fit him in anywhere." Until one evening I finally figured out what to do. I said to myself "This story does need a little bit of fun in it so why not." So this chapter came about thanks you Velvet Starlight. I hope you enjoy it and if you don't you are in so much trouble.


Two months had gone by, and Wednesday was a favorite for Bart, Lisa, Rod and Tod. Ned would usually pick them up from school after running errands all day and he would take them over to the mall so Bart and Lisa could pick up Maggie since Marge worked late. Ned did try to take Maggie on his errands but carrying a toddler and a few packages to the car proved a little too difficult and Maggie was better off with Marge for a few hours. On other days when Marge worked for Ned, Ned would watch Maggie for the day or if it was a Saturday, Bart and Lisa.

Since Bart was the man of the house, he usually helped Marge with random things around the house. One of the biggest chores he did, occasionally with Lisa helping, was clean out the garage of the mess that Homer made. It took him three weekends, removing whatever he could from the garage that was no longer needed or was actually Ned's in the first place. Homer's car had actually been given to Grampa who was more than happy to take it off their hands so he could drive around when he needed to until Bart became sixteen.

Bart was given a nice allowance for helping around the house and being the sweet brother that he was, he would first treat Lisa, Rod, and Todd to an ice cream cone before picking up Maggie while Ned waited in the car. He felt they all deserved it for making it halfway through the week in school.

It was one particular Wednesday afternoon when they were making their way to the food court when Bart suddenly stopped in his tracks causing Todd to run right into him.

"Ow, Bart the ice cream shop is right there, you should know that by now," said Todd as he rubbed his nose.

Bart continued to stare straight ahead for a moment, at first everyone thought something bad had happened until Lisa noticed that he wasn't just staring at something, he was glaring.

"What is it Bart?" asked Lisa.

"Look who's having a normal lunch over there," said Bart with an angry sound to his voice as he pointed to a lonely set of tables that no one really sat in.

The group looked to where he was pointing, and there sitting at a booth enjoying a slice of pizza was Mr. Burns and Smithers.

"I bet he's too poor now to afford deviled ham," said Rod.

"I can't even believe he even bothered to come here, who does he think he is, doesn't he know that someone like me would be willing to get some revenge on him," said Bart.

"Oh Bart, you're not really gonna hurt him are you?" asked Lisa a little worried with the idea of her brother hurting a guy who most likely learned his lesson about plant safety.

"I'm not gonna hurt him Lis, just annoy him," said Bart.

"Bart!" said Lisa a little annoyed by the idea but also knowing better than to argue with her brother.

"No I got a great idea, stay there and I'll be right back," said Bart.

The kids watched as Bart slowly made his way over to where Burns and Smithers were enjoying some time alone. While he did so, Nelson, who had been busy swiping sugar packets from the coffee shop, came over to see what everyone was watching.

"So what are you nerds up to?" asked Nelson.

"Bart's going to give Burns his comeuppance," said Rod.

"Yeah I don't know what he is going to do but I hope it's harmless," said Lisa.

Nelson gave Lisa a "you gotta be kidding me" look before deciding that it would be fun to help Bart out in whatever he was planning. He had known about the incident at the power plant and even though he did not loose anyone special, he still agreed with everyone that Burns was the biggest bastard in the whole town.

Nelson soon caught up with Bart who was now hiding behind a plant and at first Bart did not see him come up from behind him until Nelson gave him a light tap. Bart jumped up and stared at Nelson nervously.

"Whatever it is the answer is no," said Bart knowing how Nelson liked to swipe things from him.

"Hey I don't want your money right now, I just want to help you out, I've always wanted to pound Burns for something," said Nelson as he punched his fist.

"Oh you wanna help me, that's fine then," said Bart who didn't really act that interested as he continued to watch Burns and Smithers, he had a plan but he wanted to be sneaky.

"What is your plan any way?" asked Nelson.

"I plan on tying their shoelaces together and then once I take care of that I will hit them with my little marbles with my slingshot and when they try to go after me they will trip and fall," said Bart with a grin.

Nelson stared back at Bart, he liked the idea but he also knew that just one person could not handle it without any help. He then slapped Bart on the back of the head to prove his point.

"And you were gonna do it by yourself? They would notice you down there, boy am I glad I came over. How about this, you go up to Burns and ask him a question that will make him go out on a rant, then I'll sneak in and tie their shoelaces together," said Nelson.

Bart stared back at Nelson while rubbing the back of his head and picturing how it would all work before finally responding. "Yeah that does sound like a plan," he said.

A minute later, Bart walked out from where he was hiding and made his way over to Mr. Burns. As he got closer, the anger forming in him began to grow but he knew he had to remain calm and not ruin his perfect plan.

Mr. Burns was still trying to eat his pizza, cutting it up into little pieces while Smithers watched as he ate some pasta salad.

"I still do not understand why kids find this food hip," said Mr. Burns as he tried to cut up the rubbery pizza.

"Another mystery in life sir," said Smithers.

"Excuse me," said Bart as he approached.

Mr. Burns stopped cutting his rubbery pizza and looked up at Bart. Once he noticed that he was a kid his face lit up.

"Oh good Smithers, a child has come to explain why rubbery pizza's are so good, tell me young man, why do you eat them?" asked Mr. Burns.

Bart had not expected Mr. Burns to respond to him like this, he guessed it was a good thing though since now he could buy more time.

"Uh well its fast and its fun, plus the cheese and tomato sauce stays right where you need it, not all over yourself like spaghetti or ravioli's," said Bart trying to sound like he was interested in the subject.

"Oh I see, but what about those college students, I've heard they even eat them for breakfast, what are they thinking?" asked Burns.

"I really don't know, I'm only twelve and I don't go to college," said Bart.

"Oh you must know, I bet that is the reason why you came over here," said Burns.

"Actually Sir, I was coming over here to ask…." Bart stopped right there, he hadn't thought about what to ask and his mind was racing.

"How about what he thought about last nights American Idol.
No that's stupid; why not ask him for more money.
Oh that's even worse; he'll run you out of there before Nelson can tie the shoes together.
Ask him how he feels about cancer.
No that's just too obvious
Ask him about Nuclear power.
No that would take forever with him.
Ask him how old he is.
No that will just confuse and upset him.
Ask him if Smithers is gay.
Oh we already know that answer.
Ask him if he has a facebook, then later give him a virus.
Silly brain, old people don't have facebook."

"Well son what is the question?" asked Burns when Bart realized that he was taking forever coming up with a question.

"Uhhhhh….. have you ever been called Chuck?" asked Bart remembering that Mr. Burns' first name was not Montgomery but Charles.

"What kind of…." began Smithers looking quite annoyed that a young child would ask an older person about their first name.

"No no Smithers, it's a name I rarely use, not after she ran out of my life sixty years ago," said Burns who gave both Smithers and Bart a longing look. Smithers only scowled at the fact that Mr. Burns even had someone to love.

"You had a girlfriend?" asked Bart.

"Of course, I haven't always been a bachelor, there was a time in my high school years when I was top of the class and the girls were all over me. But there was one lovely lady in particular who really liked me and called me Chuck and occasionally Chuckie," said Burns as he went back down memory lane. Bart tried his hardest not to laugh at the remark.

"Oh but that was so long ago, she broke my heart when she ran off with someone from either Austria or Australia I can never remember any more, he had a weird accent that's all I know. So from that day on I vowed never to let anyone call me Chuck, not even you," said Mr. Burns who made sure Bart heard the you part by poking him on his round stomach.

Bart grumbled at him and then looked up to see Nelson giving him the thumbs up behind a nearby plant. Bart quickly gave Mr. Burns an annoyed goodbye and ran toward Nelson who was chuckling to himself quietly.

"So they didn't notice?" asked Bart.

"Nope, tied them both nice and tightly together, you have an extra slingshot?" asked Nelson.

"In my backpack," said Bart as he led Nelson over to where Lisa, Rod and Todd were sitting down and waiting patiently.

Bart quickly grabbed his slingshot out of the backpack and handed it to Nelson who tested it out first before deciding to make his move.

"Looks like this ones been broken into well, it should work great from far away," said Nelson.

"Where you gonna shoot it from?" asked Bart.

Nelson looked around for a moment, scanning the food court for a good post that he could easily hide from and not be seen while he annoyed Mr. Burns. He quickly found a place that was between two trees and not too high up so that he could get down easily if he wanted to.

"That's where I'll be, and I think you would go great over there," said Nelson who pointed at another place that was not too high up and covered by a few bushes. Bart gave the thumbs up and made his way over.

When Bart reached the spot and waved to Nelson letting him know that he was ready whenever he was. A second later he saw a marble shoot down toward Mr. Burns, hitting him squarely on the palm of his hand. Bart watched as Mr. Burns let out a yowl of pain while Smither's jumped up with concern.

Bart chuckled to himself and aimed his slingshot at Mr. Burns. He hit him squarely on the head, almost knocking him out as he let out another surprised yelp.

"Who in the world is doing that?" growled Smithers as he looked around only to be hit squarely in the chest by Nelson.

Bart again hit Burns in the back who let out another surprise yelp before he tipped over the table sending what was left of his slice of pizza flying into Smithers face. Smithers let out an annoyed growl as he peeled the rubbery pizza off his face and looked in the direction to where the attacks where coming from.

"Hey rainbow boy, what do you think of this?" Nelson proclaimed as he dropped his pants and wagged his bare butt at them. Bart watched from behind his bushes and laughed before calling to Smithers himself and showing off the bare essentials.

"You little brats better watch it," said Smithers who then moved forward to go after Nelson who quickly put his pants up and began to climb down from his fort so he could start running away with Bart who was doing the same thing.

They didn't have to run too fast though because just as soon as Smithers ran after them, Burns was not too far behind being dragged along by Smithers. Their shoelaces tied together very tightly and their was no way Burns could get out of this unless he pulled his shoes off or yelled at Smithers for running. Burns of course decided that yelling was more important.

"Smithers, stop, your laces are mixed up with mine!" cried Burns as he flailed his arms wildly through the food court.

It took Smithers a moment to realize what was going on but when he heard Mr. Burns call out to him again, he stopped and turned around to find Burns tied to his laces. He let out a gasp of surprise and made his way back to Burns to assess the damage.

"Oh no I killed you didn't I?" asked Smithers in his usual pitiful whine. Mr. Burns was now lying on the ground, his hands in the air like a sick dog and his hair all mismatched in different ways. He looked as if he had been running with the bulls.

"No but once I get the feeling back in my legs I am going to make sure you get what's coming to you," said Mr. Burns in a very angry voice.

Smithers let out a moan of annoyance; he knew it was probably another new task that was either useless or gross. Whatever it was, he really was not in the mood for it right now.

Bart and Nelson laughed from their little hidden corner, glad to see that their plan had worked so well.

"Thanks for the help there Nelson." Said Bart as he high fived the bully.

"Yeah that was awesome when he skidded across that floor like that," said Nelson as he wiped a tear from his eye because he was laughing so hard.

The two continued to watch as Smithers tried to help Mr. Burns up, he seemed very sore now from being dragged around but both didn't care, he ruined quite a few lives and they believed he deserved what he got. The lady security guard who had seen the incident unfold didn't think so though and quickly grabbed both Bart and Nelson by the arm before they even saw her coming.

"Trouble makers eh? Well we have rules about trouble makers like you," said the security guard who then started dragging them by their shirt cuffs to the security office.

Bart and Nelson only looked at each other with worried faces, wondering how they would get out of this mess and what Marge would think.


A/N: Yeah sorry for the long wait, I got bombarded with school work and then it took me forever to actually get started on my lion king story, I think I am too addicted to this story to write anything else and I am quite glad, usually that means I won't get sick of it before it ends, hopefully not anyway. Hope you enjoyed that, this needed a little silliness and it will hopefully stay that way for the next chapter. Not sure when it will be up though, finals are coming and so far I have two classes that are making me do big group projects and you know how those go. You have to meet your partners and do all this crazy stuff, so please be patient with me for the next few weeks. Once school is over though, this story will be updated a lot more. Oh and if you are interested, feel free to head on over to my Deviant art page, its linked in my profile. I got that really cool Simpson's handbook at Barnes and Noble for only ten dollars. I'm hoping to draw some scenes or just random stuff with the family. There are a few random things already on the main page and in my scrapbook page.

And I would like to ask one more thing from you guys. I have a friend at work who is currently recovering from bladder cancer. He had to get a new bladder and everything from it and because of that his body currently hates him and he's had a few complications where he has to go back to the hospital to see what his body is mad about now. So please keep him in your prayers, he's been at home since January recovering and I can tell he is getting a little frustrated with the long recovery, he likes to call us at work when we are busy and strike up a conversation and he also sends me and other friends really random things on facebook, like fab gay gifts. Yeah he's goofy. But yeah pray that his recovery speeds up, it's kind of boring at work without him.

Well I will stop blabbing and let you all review, hope you all have a nice week and see you whenever I can.
