Lisa fell into her rocking chair. Maggie wandered up to her, not falling over at all this time.

"Hello, Maggie. Sorry… I can't play with you today. I have so many things to worry about."

*Knock* *Knock*

"Now who could that be? Maggie, are we expecting visitors?" Lisa asked. Maggie shrugged. She couldn't talk. The burden of supporting them had taken their toll on Lisa, and she was close to insane.


"Police Chief Wiggum! What brings you here?" Lisa exclaimed.

"Eh, sorry to bother you, Miss Simpson, but the fact is… well… we might as well sit down." Lisa showed Wiggum to the living room, and sat down on Homer's old couch.

"OK, Lisa, you see, the thing is… Marge is put away for 20 years, if she's lucky. Judge Harm was very tight on drug peddling. And we've found out Homer's in a Nevadan prison, with no way of coming back to Springfield."

"So what does that mean for us…" Lisa asked, her hands shaking.

"Well, we have to start seizing the criminals possessions. I don't make the laws, I just… something with them. Because I'm a good guy, I'll tell you what. I'll let you keep what you want. But sadly, the house isn't up for negotiation."

"But… where will we go?"

"I'm sorry Lisa, but we haven't got anywhere for you to turn. I know, we should, because it's close to illegal to kick you out of your house without compensation… Ooh! What's that outside?" Wiggum was distracted from his apology by a yellow car moving along the road.


"One hundred thousand dollars!" Mr Burns called.

"Do I hear a new bid? Going once? Going twice? Sold, to number 000!"

"Aha! I'm richer than you all!" Mr Burns taunted.

"Ooh! Burns! How much I hate him!" Lisa shook, before sighing. Bundling up her rag around her shoulders, she took Maggie and left, wandering in search of a place to live.

Exceptionally, painfully short... but this ending was too good to pass up.

So yeah, I'm trying to redo my old Tale of Two Geniuses story. The ending of one of the Simpsons' many episodes (specifically We're On the Road To D'ohwhere) gave a vibe that could really help this story... I hope.

Yes, this is TOTG, even if it has a different plotline. The original lacked a direction. I hope this one doesn't.

...Wait, I have to do a signoff?
