Chapter 3: Dinner with the Simpsons
(Sorry for the wait! Please leave a review!)
"So you brought your little sister for show and tell?" Double D asked Lisa as they were walking to the Simpson's house.
"Yeah. I was going to bring a diorama that compared the common animal cell with the common plant cell but my dad ate it." Lisa said.
"It's your fault for making it out of gelatin and fruit." Bart replied. Lisa just rolled her eyes.
"I'm sure your father meant well Lisa." Double D said.
"Yeah. That's what my mom tells me." Lisa said. Then she looked ahead. "We're here."
The first thing the Eds noticed about the house was the smell. It was worse than even Ed.
"Man, is there a dump near here or something cause this place reeks!"
"Hey!" Lisa shouted. "I'll have you know there are dead raccoons in the walls, and where saving up the money to have them removed."
There was a moment of awkward silence.
"Well let's go in shall we?" Double D said.
Lisa led the way in. The inside of the house looked rather nice. Eddy could hear a TV in the living room.
"Stupid TV! Be more funny!" A fat balding man sitting on the couch said.
"Hey yellow boy!" Eddy said. "Who's the ape?"
"Oh that's just Homer." Bart said. Lisa groaned. "He's our father."
"Who said that?" Homer said before realizing his children where present. "Oh hey kids! How was school?" Then Homer noticed the Eds. "Ahh! Circus Freaks!"
"Dad!" Lisa shouted, flooded with embarrassment. "These are our new friends. Ed, Eddy and Double D." As she said this she pointed to each Ed respectfully.
Homer turned to Double D and asked him why his name was such. Double D told Homer what he told the kids and Homer's reaction was the same as Bart's.
"Hahaha! You guys all have the same name!? That hilarious!" Homer burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" a scratchy yet feminine voice said from the kitchen. A tall good-looking woman with a beehive hairdo walked out of the kitchen.
"Whoa!" Eddy said. "Hey lis, who's the fox?"
"That would be my mother." Lisa said. Eddy blushed.
"Homer, who are these guys?" Marge asked.
"They're the kid's new friends. Get this Marge. They're all named Ed! Isn't that hilarious?"
"I think it's cute." Marge replied.
All the Eds blushed.
"Alright." Marge said. "Time for dinner!" The Simpsons led the Eds to the table. They were having spaghetti and meatballs.
"So then I say to Mr. Easter bunny here, Silly rabbit, Kicks are for ribs!" Everyone at the table laughed! The Eds were having a wonderful time.
"This spaghetti really hits the spot Mrs. S!" Eddy said.
"Why thank you Eddy." Marge said.
Double D was mortified. Ed and Eddy were making absolute pigs of themselves. As he turned away from the open, chewing mouths of his friends, he noticed that Lisa had no meatballs on her spaghetti.
"Finished your meatballs already Lisa?" He asked.
"No I didn't have any. I'm a vegetarian." Lisa said.
Double D gasped. "A vegetarian? At your age?"
"What's a vegetarian, Double D?" Ed asked.
"Eh it's just some hippie that doesn't eat meat because their too lame." Eddy answered.
"Actually Ed, a vegetarian is an individual who chooses not to obtain their nourishment from the flesh of other animals and instead relies on plants and herbs for sustenance." Double D explained.
He was met with the wide eye stares of everyone at the table, save for Lisa who was staring at him as if he were a member of a boy band.
"That's the most intelligent use of the English language I ever heard!" Lisa said.
"Hey, Double Dork! Why don't you leave the big word talk to my sister?" Bart said.
"Bart! Show some respect for our guest." Marge said.
"Why yes. I've heard that your daughter is also academically gifted." Double D said.
"Oh yeah! Lisa's really smart! She knows math, science, history, how to play the saxophone, got second place in a spelling bee, ran her own paper…"
"Dad! Stop it! The Eds don't need to know all that stuff!" Lisa exclaimed, her cheeks were as red as her dress. Her blush only deepened when she noticed Double D looking at her. Extremely embarrassed, Lisa lowered her head to her plate and pretended to eat.
Double D, feeling Lisa embarrassment, also blushed. "Well now Lisa," He said. "There's no need to feel modest. I'm rather impressed by your accomplishments, especially at such a young age."
Lisa looked up and smiled, although she was still blushing. "T-thank you, D-Double D." She said.
After dinner, Double D helped Marge with the dishes while Homer, Bart, Ed, and Eddy watched TV. Afterward Marge said it was time to go to bed. Ed went to sleep in Maggie's room. Eddy went to Bart's room. And Double D went into Lisa's room, where he listened to her play the saxophone.
"Very good, Lisa!" He said. "When did you learn to play the saxophone?"
"When I was four." She said. "My parents couldn't afford to send me to a private school so they bought me this saxophone."
"Very interesting." Double D said.
Lisa looked up at Double D. "So, how did you meet Eddy and Ed?" She asked.
"When I was four, I moved into a town called Peach Creek where those two lived." Double D said. "We've been friends ever since."
"Alright, time for bed!" Homer said. Double D settled into the sleeping bag Marge gave him while Lisa settled under the covers.
"Goodnight, Lisa" Double D said.
"Goodnight, Double D" Lisa said.
The lights went out and "Lisa smiled underneath the covers.
"I think I have a crush!" She whispered to herself.
….
"No way! You're telling me that you unleashed a stinkbomb on your whole town!?" Bart asked.
"Yep!" Eddy said. "I'm pretty popular in my hometown."
"Cool you have to show me how to make that stink bomb!" Bart said.
"Sure thing kiddo."
