The Plague Another strain of Asian flu is accidentally brought to Springfield inside boxes of electric orange squeezers advertised by Troy McClure. Bart pulls another bout of fake sickness and has to deal with Grampa's home remedies. Guest starring Jurkle. Then Bart gets the panda virus and has to live in a rubbery bouncy bubble.
Plot
Homer is watching TV. There is a repeat of People who look like things. There is the kettle shaped man, a man next to a broom, a man seated next to a pumpkin on a table and a man next to a palm tree. Oscar insisted he was probably Sideshow Bob's grandfather or something.
The commercials came on.
The commercial was for a programme called "I can't believe they invented that!"
"The SS Microwave oven!" A microwave oven boat floated across a swimming pool to a man.
"Ah my microwave lasagne is ready!" said the man taking something out of the microwave oven boat.
"The doggy door man!" A tiny door man greeted a giant dog called Rex as he went inside via a dog flap.
"The crystal chandelier for your car!" A man is driving erratically as a chandelier kept swinging into him and distracting him.
"Hi I'm Troy McClure you may remember me from such films as Jingle all the way! and, My mad coke snorting wife shot me!" said Troy.
Dr Nick then arrived.
"Hi everybody!"
"Hi Dr Nick!" everyone replied.
"Dr Nick what have you got there?" Troy asked.
"The juice loosener!" Dr Nick explained. It was a machine for squeezing oranges. However it was noisy and very messy.
"You're telling me, all of that came from those oranges?" Troy asked.
Dr Nick nodded.
"People, until now. This was the only way to get juice out of an orange." Troy tries to squeeze an orange against his face to get the juice into a glass.
"It was?!" Homer is doing the same thing.
"No of course not!" Oscar sighed as he used a lemon squeezer to get juice out of an orange then poured it into a glass.
"Shut up!" Homer snapped.
"It also comes with this sun cream!" Dr Nick explained. Troy was putting the cream on his face. "That's also a laxative!" Troy suddenly realised and ran off somewhere as the laxative cream took effect!
...
Homer called the company to buy one.
Meanwhile in a factory in Japan.
A worker was coughing and sneezing as he packed the orange juice looseners into boxes. His co workers think nothing of it as they take the boxes to be delivered throughout the world.
"Oh please don't tell the boss I have flu!" said a Japanese man coughing and sneezing.
"It's okay my friend. I have crippling back pain..." said his coworker.
In Springfield various residents open their new orange juice machines but green clouds of germs come out and infect them. They scream at the clouds of germs.
"Happy birthday."
"Happy birthday." Patty and Selma bought each other a juice loosener for their joint birthday. They scream when the virus cloud flies out of the boxes.
Lovejoy gets infected too.
"Why have you forsaken me Lord?!" The reverend cries.
Skinner opens the orange juicer box for his mother. A green germ cloud attacks him.
"Ye gods! I'm infected!"
A germ cloud is chasing Chief Wiggum so he shoots at the germs but this has no effect and he screams as the scene blacks out.
At the Simpsons.
Everyone is watching the news.
"This is Kent Brockman. It seems Springfield has been hit with Asian flu!" Behind Kent is a cartoon picture of Godzilla with a thermometer in his mouth wearing a scarf and a hot water bottle on his head looking poorly. "Now we go to Arnie Pye in the sky live. What's it like up there Arnie?"
"Kent everything is going around and around and around and... oh I've made myself sick! I'm gonna have to throw up!" Arnie explained before getting giddy. He threw up out the helicopter window.
Meanwhile Otto the bus driver was sunbathing on a roof. "Oooh! Time to catch some rays man!" he said before resting. However a shadow fell upon him and got larger and larger as it fell... Otto opened his eyes and screamed at whatever the falling object was... (Apparently it was Arnie's puke.)
The Simpsons sighed.
"Not again..." They all groan.
"What are you whining about? Nothing bad is happening! This is all fake news!" said Ronald Thump.
The Simpsons all glare at the Republican tycoon.
...
One school morning Marge was checking everyone's temperatures. "You can never be too careful with this Asian Flu around. Bart open up!" Marge put the thermometer in Bart's mouth.
Bart decided he wanted to stay at home today so he concentrated and shut his eyes.
Inside Bart.
"Sir the brain s ordering us to surrender to the virus!" said his immune system cells. They laid down in surrender.
A blob, possibly the virus spoke like Snake. "Oh right! Time to make some pus!" It engulfed and ate the cells.
Bart soon found himself lying on the sofa in his pyjamas watching cartoons as he must have caused the thermometer to read a high temperature.
"Enjoy your day off..." Lisa said sarcastically disappointed with him. She went to school.
During the walk to school Lisa saw college students and lied she was a college student too and got a ride off of them.
"Lisa truanting? Ay carumba!" said Oscar heading off to school.
"Why do people run from me?" Ralph asked. He wet himself as a patch appeared on his trousers.
Eventually everyone got sick of Asian Flu, even Bart, to his annoyance as it made him too sickly to enjoy his sick days. However Oscar did not get sick because he wore a mask everywhere he went.
Lisa was reading Curious George and the Ebola virus.
"Oh my God!" Oscar screamed.
"Lisa don't read such books! I'm taking this to the publisher. Seems like it's a mistake..." said Marge. Confiscating Curious George and the Ebola Virus.
"Kids I'm going shopping what do you need so you don't whine about it later if I didn't get it..." said Marge.
"Oh Mom... are we that predictable...?" Bart sighed playfully. Marge frowned. "Fine, get some chewable morphine."
"Bart that doesn't exist! Don't be silly!" said Marge.
"Get some more OJ (Orange Juice) I'll need all the vitamin C I can get to fight this flu." said Lisa being bothered by Meuka.
Meuka the cartoon snot monster was making tongue waggling and raspberry sounds and bleeeeeugh sounds as he slimed Lisa.
"Marge I wanna watch Sheriff Lobo!" Homer whined. Apparently they made a programme where Lobo from Superman is a sheriff.
"Oscar, you've been watching cartoons all day! Let someone else watch what they want to watch!' Marge sighed,
"Never!" Oscar yelled.
"Get me some whiskey while you're out Marge." said Grampa.
"Abe... remember what the home nurses explained... watch your liver..." said Marge.
"Just get me my whiskey!" said Abe. "And don't steal it this time."
"Abe this episode is set at the same time as that turn of events." said Oscar.
"That means no Hugo for you!" said Homer escorting Hugo to the attic.
"Noooooo! Hugey!" Oscar whined.
...
Once Bart's case of the Fakesies wore off he was back at school. However there was a class test.
Bart clutched his stomach in pain. "Ow! My appendix!"
"Bart you already had that removed!" Mrs Krabappel told him off for trying to pull a sickie.
"Mrs Krabappel if Bart's really sick you have to let him go to the nurse or he'll die." said a new kid.
"Oh no Jimmy, we're covered legally for that. We're also covered if the class python eats Milhouse." said Mrs K.
Milhouse was inside a green python with spots. "Wow! A bunny rabbit!" said Milhouse inside the python as a bunny rabbit was hopping about its shape morphing about under the python's skin.
However Oscar took out his Super, Super intendent badge. His Chalmers's boss remember.
"Super Super Intendent Tamaki! What seems to be the matter?" Krabappel asked.
"I think you should let Bart go home sick." Oscar explained.
"Very well. Bart. I'll call your parents to pick you up..." Krabappel sighed.
"And don't get any ideas of dropping that test on him when he gets back. He'll just have to miss it." Oscar added.
"Yes sir." said Krabappel.
Third grade.
"I know! Let's make burgers out of squirrels!" said Inane Brian, a black haired toon with star shaped hair with white highlights.
"Uh... no..." Ace was deeply concerned with his suggestion.
Ireep trudged in with her black combat boots and wearing army camouflage and a khaki vest with a dog tag. She dropped into her seat behind her desk and dropped her books upon it with atitude.
Ace decided she wasn't in the mood for idle conversation.
Oscar by contrast cane in while juggling some juggling balls.
"Oz..." The teacher sighed.
"I only answer to the King of the Potato people!" Oscar replied with his usual bizarre diatribes.
The teacher sighed. She decided to continue the class regardless of his eccentric behaviour.
"Today class we will be studying geometry." said the teacher. likely Ms McConnell from the canon episode where Bart and Lisa both end up in third grade.
Everyone groaned.
"Yes, yes... I know..." said the teacher.
...
Luckily for Bart, Grampa was the only one available to pick him up. And he was senile enough to believe Bart's story and not ask questions.
However while Bart laid on his sick bed. (The living room sofa.) He looked silly as he had hot water bottles and a vapour mist for clearing sinuses pumping Vicks at him. Grampa's idea of getting him better was to put leeches on his face!
"Bart, I got some leeches for you!" said Grampa Abe holding a brown bag of squirming leeches. "I managed to find a pharmacy that sold some! Well actually it was more of a bait and tackle shop..."
Bart suddenly felt better.
"Actually Grampa I feel much better already!" Bart really didn't want leeches on his face. "No more home remedies please!"
"Oral thermometer my ass! Boy, think warm thoughts as it is mighty cold!" said Grampa.
We cut to black and Bart screaming.
"Gramps if that was an oral thermometer why the heck did you shove it up my butt?!" Bart yelled.
I don't know!" said Grampa.
Then he asked if Bart had the following amusing illnesses. "Jungle rot? Hysterical pregnancy! Night fever? Dum Dum fever?"
"I have Dum Dum Fever." said Oscar.
"No you're just a Dum Dum..." said Bart.
Oscar frowned at him.
Eventually Grampa left Bart to watch his cartoons. Bart flicked through the TV until Krusty the clown was on.
School, library. Lisa and Alison are revising by going through their maths books as a maths test was coming up.
"How's the revision going, girls?" Martin Prince asked.
"Fine Martiiiiin..." Alison flirted with the older nerd.
Lisa sighed. "Alison what is there to like about him?! He picks his nose!"
Martin was absentmindedly picking his nose while finding a table to sit at.
At home, Oscar who was there simply to hang around with Bart had suddenly contracted Night Fever.
He was dancing to Beegee's Night Fever while wearing an old seventies shell suit.
Bart winced at him.
...
At school, second grade.
Everyone was doing their history assignment except Ralph who was dressed up as a Viking.
"Arrrr! By the eye of Odin Mr Spot! We have sailed to a strange new land!" said Viking Ralph.
"Ralph you can't even swing a hammer or hurl an ax... What makes you think you can be a viking..." asked a random albino kid.
"I too am the very image of raw, unbridled viking fury!" Ralph yelled swinging his plushies about.
"Ralph pipe down! You're not a viking!" Miss Hoover told him off.
"Attention Lisa Simpson. Please come to my office for some sensitive news." said Skinner with a hint of sympathy in his voice over the tannoy.
"Oh no!" said Lisa.
She arrived at Skinner's office.
"Lisa I have some terrible news... your mother has been arrested for shoplifting..." said Skinner.
"Again?!" Lisa yelled.
"We figured you would be upset or annoyed so we're sending you home early." said Skinner. "I trust your brother is still suffering from his bout of Sickies..."
"Yes Principal Skinner..." Lisa sighed.
Meanwhile former president Jimmy Carter was on a parade float through town.
"Jimmy Carter?! He's history's greatest monster! Get him!" A man yelled and an angry mob chased Jimmy Carter.
Homer unwell with Asian Flu watched Sheriff Lobo. Which I insist is about Lobo from Superman comics as a Wild West Sheriff...
"The day that shark ate Sheriff Lobo." said The TV.
A shark ate Sheriff Lobo.
Homer laughed hysterically.
"Gramps no! That's an oral thermometer!" Bart yelled running about holding up his pyjama bottoms.
"Eh..." said Homer.
In third grade they had just finished geometry.
"Well studying squares made me feel rather square..." said Inane Brian exhausted.
"There's a Rice Krispy Square in my lunch..." said Oscar.
Plot 2
The Simpsons visit Marge in prison.
"Well Bart's pulling sickies from school and Oscar thinks he's a Martian..." said Lisa.
Oscar had deedlybob cartoonish light up antennae and eyes on springs glasses on holding a nerf gun. "What?"
Marge sighed.
"Marge you're setting Bart a bad example! Especially after he stole that copy of Bonestorn! I am very disappointed in you honey!" said Homer.
"I'm sorry dear..." Marge said looking glum as she sat at the visiting table.
"Okay visiting time is over people..." said Wiggum.
The Simpsons left the women's prison.
"Okay what shall we do now?" Homer asked.
"Watch Digimon the movie!" said Oscar.
Bart winced at him.
"Uh no..." said Homer.
"To be honest I just want to get home..." said Lisa embarrassed about Mom getting arrested again.
Elsewhere a truck carrying hives of live bees crashed. The angry bees swarmed out and attacked everyone.
"BEEEEEEES!" Teddy, Oscar's living teddy bear creature screamed.
And all the major Digimon voice actors went on to voice the Organisation 13 and Ansem for some reason. Well they get everywhere in early Fox Kids anime...
"I love Fox Kids Anime..." said Oscar seeing all the anime characters invading Springfield.
Bart sighed. "Kiddy animes with cards or soinning tops or deadly yo-yos aren't real anime..."
"Yeah Death Note is less mainstream..." said Lisa reading a Death Note manga.
"Silence! Shobu from Duel Masters just set his hand on fire again!" Oscar snapped.
"It buuuuuurns!" Shobu off screen screamed.
They all hot home. Graggle was there stark naked!
"Graggle put some clothes on!"
"Also you're lame... Hugo is a better non canon character." said Oscar.
Graggle scoffed annoyed.
...
Bart went back to school once he was better. But as soon as he demonstrated his good heals by wall jumping. Mrs Krabappel sprung the test on him.
"Ooooooow! My ovaries!" Bart cried and went home. Mrs Krabappel wasn't happy.
"Oh my god! You're a girl now!" Oscar screamed.
Bart winced at him.
"(Rapid gibberish) Bart! Did you not learn the story of the boy who cried wolf?!" Grampa yelled at him as he drove him home.
"No, was it interesting?" Bart asked.
"D'oh!" Grampa groaned.
"Is that light green..." Grampa asked while driving.
"Yes Grampa..." said Bart. It was actually red.
"It better be..." said Grampa.
As punishment he decided to pretend Bart was sick and give him horrible old fashioned home remedy and treatments.
"If you run out of ideas Abe, Jurkle has loads of ideas being Jewish and that..." said Oscar. Jurkle the Jewish nerd kid grinned.
Abe smiled. "I think I have a lot of home remedies in this old noggin." He tapped his head.
"Oz help..." Bart groaned with leeches on his face.
"I'm sorry Bart but I consulted Two-Face and he says I am not to help you today.
Two-Face was flipping a coin.
Bart still with leeches on his face winced.
Lisa was off on a drive with some college girls to see the life of attending college.
"Why is there a Digimon the movie VHS tape in the car...?" Lisa sighed.
"Trending media, Dreamworks hasn't moved onto CGI yet..." said Oscar.
One of the sorority girls put on the radio. Destiny's Child played.
Lisa winced as it wasn't the montage music she hoped for.
"Lisa you don't have a Blue's Clues about college..." said Oscar.
"Ugh... kid shows... I am not babysitting... Unless I get paid..." said the blonde college girl.
Lisa sighed at Oscar.
...
Bart soon realised quickly how Grampa intended to make his sick day a living hell...
Bart had hot water bottles or ice packs on his head and vapours from Vicks wafting the room.
Bart frowned.
"Bart I have leeches!" said Grampa.
"Actually I feel much better Grampa!" said Bart.
"Oh good! Get dressed! I'll drive you to school!" said Grampa.
"Nnnnngh! Actually I don't feel so good..." said Bart.
Oscar nodded at Grampa. He pulled out a squirming leech and attached leeches to Bart's face. He sighed covered in leeches.
Later a leechh was sucking on Oscar's nose and he was trying to pull it off.
"Nnnnnngh!"
Bart, time to take your temperature..." said Grampa. "Oral thermometer my foot in my day..."
Bart screamed the house down.
"Dad don't put thermometers up Bart's butt!" Homer said sharply.
Meanwhile Lisa went to a freaky beatnik cafe to listen to poetry with the college students.
Ned's parents were there.
"Yeah because we're freaky beatniks man!" said Nedward Flanders.
Lisa winced.
At home. The attic.
"Is the small intestine also the semi colon?" Oscar asked.
Hugo winced at him.
"What?! The call the gut the colon!" said Oscar.
The lounge. "Grampa I suddenly feel much better. Can I have dessert?" Bart asked.
"You're too poorly to have sweets..." said Grampa with a devious grin.
Bart sulked.
"You have a paroxysm or maladies my boy..." said Grampa. He then went on a rambling bout of baffling nonsense. Possibly the one about the Kaiser stealing the number twenty or when he went to Cuba to terminate Sarah Connor or Prince, he forgot which.
...
In prison Marge was showering and dropped the soap. "Oops!"
"Here you go Marge!" said Phillips, her jailbird friend who killed her husband with a Phillips screwdriver. Handing her the soap she just dropped.
"Thanks! Gee we're not like the men's prison are we gals?" said Marge.
The lady prisoners laughed and giggled.
In the men's jail, dropping the soap led to some horrible situations no reader wants to read about. Let's just say Bob has a very loving cell mate in the form of a titan of a bench lifting, Terry Crews look-alike.
"Hey sugar..." said Sideshow Bob's Cell mate and lover.
Bob shivered in disgust.
At home.
"Dad there's an alligator stuck in the toilet and we need clean clothes!" said Bart.
An Alligator was stuck in the toilet and snapping at Grampa.
"No that's Kraid from Super Metroid..." said Oscar.
"I feel like I've worn this red dress for ages..." said Lisa.
"Check the attic. I have." said Homer wearing Marge's wedding dress.
"Dad is that Mom's wedding dress?!" Lisa gasped.
"Oh you look beautiful darling!" said a Homer clone dressed up as a groom.
"Talk about being a narcissist..." Bart sighed as Homer married himself...
The kids went up to the attic to look for spare clothes because Homer made the house a mess. He broke out of his trance to stop them. "No don't look in the attic! Don't! Oof! This bridal train is a health hazard..."
"Daaaaaaad... why is there a boy that looks just like me in the attic?" Bart asked.
Hugo growled.
"Haaaaaauuuuw! Hugey!" Oscar squealed.
"Dad Maggie needs changing..." said Lisa.
"Change her then..." said Homer being lazy.
"Dad we have to share the chores evenly..." Lisa nagged.
"I am! You change Maggie, I'll inspect the bikinis!" said Homer.
...
Lisa observed the state the house was in. She gasped finding an alligator stuck in the toilet.
And Oscar was firing foam darts from a foam dart gun at it while the Kraid boss theme from Super Metroid was playing.
Lisa winced.
The kitchen was a tip!
"Guys! We need to tidy up! And why is the dog eating from the refrigerator?!" said Lisa.
Homer screamed when he saw Santa's little helper eating food from the refrigerator. "Bad dog! Bad Santa's little helper!" He told off the dog shooing him away.
"Also there's a monster in there..." said Bart.
"ZUUUUUUULLL!" Zuul bellowed.
"Who's going to change Maggie's diapers?" Bart asked.
"We'll let her roam naked in the back yard and let nature take its course..." said Homer.
"No Dad... you're going to learn how to change her and not get queasy..." said Lisa.
"You change her!" said Homer.
"Fine..." said Lisa.
At Prison visit.
"Homer is that a devil Halloween costume?!" Marge asked.
"No..." Homer lied turning up dressed as Evil Homer. He played with his tail.
"And then an alligator got stuck in the toilet, Oscar's at home shooting Nerf darts at it because he thinks it's Kraid from Super Metroid..." said Lisa ratting on everyone. "Dad won't clean the house so it's a dump and we saw a kid in the attic! Oscar says he's called Hugo!"
Marge sighed. "Kids there's something we haven't told you about when Bart was born..."
"Oh great... tell everyone our embarrassing secrets Marge!" Homer groaned.
Marge grumbled.
"Just tell me where the soap for the dishwasher goes and how do I..." Homer asked.
Marge seethed.
"Uh never mind..." said Homer.
They went home, with Oscar once again demanding they go to the theatre to watch Digimon the movie...
"Theatres closed due to Asian Flu. Also put your mask on kid..." said a cop.
Oscar sighed and put his blue surgical mask on.
...
At home the kids made Homer let the thing out of the attic. Hugo sniffed his siblings he hadn't seen before and scuttled about the house.
"I hope you're happy Oz..." Homer sighed.
"Hugey!" Oscar squealed.
Bart sighed at him for squealing at Hugo.
Lisa changed Maggie's diaper. She kept wriggling as Lisa changed her.
"Maggie please keep still while I change your diaper..." Lisa sighed.
Teddy the shiny nosed teddy bear creature sniffed Oscar's diaper. He giggled and wriggled as his living teddy bear creature sniffed him.
"Stop writing about that!" Hank Simpson yelled.
Meanwhile Bart was pulling more bouts of fake sickness. That meant more hellish home remedies from Grampa.
Bart had told Mrs K and Gramps, when picked up he was feeling lethargic and weak. So Grampa cooked up a bowl of borscht with Ace's Help. Beetroot soup...
Bart looked at it in disgust. "I hate soup!"
"If you're too sick for school you're too sick to eat anything except soup..." said Grampa.
The next day he didn't want to stay in maths so he claimed he had a bad cold/man flu.
Grampa made him a bowl of chicken soup.
"And maltzo dumplings for starch." said Jurkle.
"Oy vey..." said Oscar.
Bart sighed and had his soup.
Then a few hours later while he read comics, Oscar told Meuka the snot monster he had a cold.
Meuka turned Bart into a baby. Baby Bart winced as the slime monster with a really long slimy tail of snot and boogers was grinning at him.
Meuka then splattered his slimy tail onto Bart's diaper and he groaned as slime engulfed his diaper and Meuka melted into the slime diaper covering his diaper. Then two slimy tendrils oozed out and stuffed themselves up Bart's nose and absorbed his snot. He groaned and wriggled.
Meuka then oozed out of his slime diaper and was much bigger. The big slime monster towered over Bart's bed.
Baby Bart gulped.
The cartoon slime monster chuckled as he dripped slime everywhere.
Plot 3
On the school run, Lisa actually genuinely had a cold but soldiered on and went to school with Hugo.
Grampa smiled, pleased with her hardworking attitude. "But I insist sweetie that you take a hearty flask of soup to school to melt away that cold!"
Lisa took a thermos from Grampa and unscrewed the kid and looked inside. "Pumpkin. Thanks Brampa."
"Work hard sweetie." said Grampa.
At prison Marge took a phone call from Lisa. "So Grampa is strangely good at cooking soup in Oscar's canon because he says making Grampa senile is just plain rude to old people. A cartoon slime monster is bothering Bart because he pretended he had a cold to skive off again... And when is your parole hearing Mom?"
"Oh I don't know dear..." said Marge.
"Marge, you're being released. Apu dropped the charges. Something about a lynch mob..." Lol! That's offensive some how! XD!
"Whoopee!" Marge cheered.
She hugged her friends Phillips, Ruth Powers and Tattoo Sally/Sandy.
"Keep your nose clean Marge. We love seeing ya, but I'm sure you don't want to end up inside again." said Phillips.
"I will, see ya on the outside gals!"
Phillips sighed because she was never getting out. Unless Wiggum stupidly gives her parole.
The Simpsons were happy to have her home. Of course she had some tidying up to do and sorting out Abe's old fashioned remedies. Although the family agreed it was funny teaching Bart a lesson about pulling Sickies.
...
Currently he was feigning he was congested and had a headache. Marge frowned and was about to yell at him to get out of bed and get dressed but Abe smiled and had an idea.
"When I was congested my mammy put a mustard paste on me, cleared my sinuses instantly. said Abe.
Bart found Marge gave him an odd instruction. Sit up on his bed and take his pyjama top off. Grampa rubbed a mustard paste on his belly. The burning vapours stung his nose. If he was bunged up, they would be cleared now.
Meuka the cartoon snot monster sniffed him. He thought in a thinking cloud that Bart smelt like a delicious hotdog. Bart gulped hoping the cartoon slime monster wasn't interested in eating him.
On another school morning, Bart using his putty and theatre make up made it so he obviously looked as if he had chicken pox. Marge smelt a rat because he already had chicken pox, and we do a episode about the pox later on.
Abe decided to treat Bart's excuses seriously. By giving him a porridge bath.
Bart winced as Grampa dumped him in the bath tub that was full of slimy stodgy porridge. Splat!
Then an Oatmeal monster tried to slime him...
The next morning...
"Okay fun's over. Bart you are going to school..." said Marge sharply.
"And no more sickness days for me! Especially not when Grampa's about!" said Bart.
"Ah well, how about we go out to Krusty Burger later? I want the senior citizen meal deal!"
After school.
Grampa took Bart to Krusty Burger. He got a senior's meal with ration tokens. Bart got a kid's meal with a Krusty toy made in China. He heard something buzzing in there.
Curious, Bart opened the toy. However a mosquito flew out and bit him on his hand. A red bump appeared. "Ow! It bit me!"
Bart then felt very sick.
"Grampa I don't feel so good. And I'm telling the truth this time! I need to go to the doctor!" Bart explained as he felt ill.
"Fine, but if you're lying again!" Grampa took Bart to the family doctor.
The doctor had some grim news.
"Bart has contracted the Panda virus!" said the family's GP.
"Yipes! Is that serious?!" Bart asked.
"Only in rare cases. However it is highly contagious and is currently weakening your immune system which is very bad given the Asian flu bug flying around!" explained the doctor. He then called for Bart's parent to tell them the news and his treatment.
At home Bart found his treatment to avoid spreading his virus and contracting Asian flu on top was to be sealed in a rubbery plastic bubble.
Oscar laughed and squeezed and played with the bubble.
"Oz let go!" Bart groaned as Oscar squeezed the rubbery bubble.
"Bouncy! Bouncy!" Oscar cooed.
However this wasn't very fun for Bart as one afternoon while shopping with Mom he suddenly was rolling down the street at frightening speed yelling in the bubble. However Marge quickly caught him.
"You'll get used to it dear." Marge explained. Nelson who was on the other side of the road laughed at him. Extremely tall man stared at him, Mrs Glick was so startled she fell head first into a bin and Comic Book Guy made a reference. "Worst John Travolta costume ever!"
...
At dinner everyone had soup. Bart was in his bubble slurping his soup.
"Bart! Stop slurping your soup!" Marge told him.
"My bubble my rules!" said Bart.
"That's it! Time for your bath!" Homer got up and stuck a hose in Bart's bubble and filled it up with water. "Now go to bed!" Homer tossed the bubble with Bart inside out the dining room. "Easiest bit of parenting I've ever done!" Homer dusted his hands.
That night in canon Lisa was sneaking out to college for some reason. Marge was checking the kids were in bed. Bart was in his pyjamas in his bubble sat on his bed. Oscar laughed.
...
At School Bart was in his bubble when he saw some nerds being bullied by Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney. He had an idea.
"Have no fear! The sphere is here!" said Bart. He stood in front of the bullies. The nerds made their escape while the bullies were distracted.
"That's it Simpson! I'm gonna punch you right in the ball!" Kearney punched Bart's bubble. He went flying but bounced off a wall and into the bullies and knocked them over.
"Boy, he bowled us over!" said Kearney.
"Hey these ball puns are actually annoying!" said Gunther the monkey from Futurama back when he was in Disney's Timon and Pumba.
Bart expertly landed in a puddle of mud. He then ran very fast on the spot and sprayed mud at the bullies who groaned as they were splashed with mud. Bart laughed.
"Whenever nerds are in trouble, I'm on the double! Spin, spin spin! And away I go!" said Bart before spraying them with more mud and dashing away in his bubble.
"Wow! Bart's a super hero!" said Database.
Plot 3
One weekend afternoon Lisa was lonely because her friends were annoyed she decided to go to college to avoid them. Or felt too college for them.
"Oh no, I completely understand. I once had a magic trick go so wrong I couldn't stick my hand inside my top hat for weeks." said Oscar wearing a top hat and cape and white cartoon gloves. He was holding his magic wand.
"Really? How'd you get over it?" Lisa asked.
"I just had to face my fear. I shut my eyes and jammed my hand in." said Oscar. "Then the rabbit inside the hat bit me."
Lisa winced.
"Um... I'll go and find Bart.
Lisa was in the garden trying to find Bart.
"Dad where's Bart?" Lisa asked.
"Oh I tried to throw him over the roof but he got stuck in that tree." Homer explained. Bart in his bubble was lodged in some branches. He was sitting there looking around.
"Now where's my gun?" Homer asked.
"In the tree!" Marge called from inside.
"Oh." Homer sighed. "Stupid tree!" he kicked the tree. His gun fell out and went off shooting pellets into his butt. "Ow! My ass!" Homer yelled as he ran about in pain.
Lisa climbed up into the tree.
"Poor Bart trapped in a bubble." Lisa sighed.
"Are you nuts?! I love it in here!" Bart explained. "You won't believe how beautiful that sunset looks..."
"Bart, that's a bird on fire..." Lisa replied. Some blue feathers fell as we hear flames crackling.
Lisa needed some advice.
"Step into my office." Bart opened his bubble to let her in.
"Eeeeeew! Someone farted!" Lisa groaned as Bart had obviously been farting in there.
"Wasn't me." Bart lied.
"Wasn't me." said Shaggy the rapper.
Bart winced exasperated.
...
Whatever it was, it involved Skinner at an important announcement and a large chocolate cake.
"Mmmmmm chocolate!" said Oscar.
"Any questions from the crowd?" Skinner asked.
His mother Agnes interrupted the show. "Yeah I have one! How dare you wear white! I know what you do at night..." Ha! That rhymes! Skinner made a signal and some nerds dragged Agnes away.
"Any other questions?" Skinner asked. Oscar put up his hand. "Yes Tamaki..."
"When can we eat the cake?" Oscar asked.
Skinner groaned exasperated.
"How about a picture with the cake for the school paper, sir?" Martin asked as he was holding a camera.
"Well now normally I wouldn't dare stand near a big chocolate cake in a nice suit like this. But with Bart safely in a bubble, why not?" Skinner agreed.
However Bart was not in his bubble anymore. Instead Lisa was and he was pushing her along the roof. He pushed Lisa off. She fell in her bubble with anime lines and dramatic music.
Skinner went nooooooooo! in slow motion with a deep voice. However Lisa landed on the cake smooshing it everywhere and all over Skinner.
"Oh no! I've been taken down a peg!" Skinner lamented as his suit was ruined and he was humiliated. All the kids cheered "Lisa! Lisa! Lisa!" and carried her in Bart's bubble.
Meanwhile Bart got agoraphobia from being in his bubble. "I think I'll hide in that vent!" He hid in the rooftop air vent. Only his eyes could be seen.
"Wait. Does this blow or suck?" Bart asked. He soon found out. "It suuuuuuucks!" He yelled as he was sucked down somewhere into the school.
At home.
Bart got in.
"Hey Lisa, where's my bubble?" Bart asked.
"Oh Milhouse borrowed it to shelter inside at karate class..." said Lisa.
Milhouse is in a rubbery isolation bubble in karate class while a kid is punching and kicking the bubble.
"Hold on! A bee got in here! Aaaaaaagh!" Milhouse cried because an angry bee was inside the bubble with him.
At home Bart winced. "Yeah... He'd probably do that..."
Elsewhere Lugash the angry German gymnast teacher had to go to anger management class.
"Anger management class! Worthless ANGER MANAGEMENT! I hate it! I spit on it!"
...
Then the kids wanted ice cream.
"Unfortunately your father ate it." said Marge.
The kids groaned.
Up in the attic Oscar was hanging out with Tai from Digimon, Genki, Monkey Hero, Tombi and Flint the time detective.
"Stop copying my hair..." Tai nagged Oscar.
Oscar frowned at him. He turned Tai into a baby. Tai was wearing a diaper.
Tai winced checking himself out. However Meuka was still lurking about and grabbed him with his slimy tail. Baby Tai winced as he was tied up by the slimy tail coiling around him.
