Chapter 20: A New Beginning

"W-What!?" Dawn asked flabbergasted.

"I said "Would you marry me!?" Bart repeated himself. He was on his knee, holding an engagement ring up to Dawn who was still processing what had just happened.

"I know this is sudden." Bart commented.

"Uh yeah! Everyone's waiting for us outside!"

"Come on Dawn! I'm trying my best here!"

"I...just..." Dawn gave Bart a serious glance and he gulped. But then her gaze softened and she smiled.

"Of course I'll marry you you big idiot!" She shouted. "Just don't expect a baby anytime soon. I still gotta career you know!"

...

Everyone was gathered outside the house. Nelson, Lisa, Murphy and the newest addition of the family, Athena, were getting ready to leave.

"Just call us if you need anything!" Marge offered.

Maggie approached Lisa and gave her a big hug.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Lisa asked her little sister.

"Yeah. I'll get my driver's license and then maybe take some nerve gear courses"

"Good luck." Lisa said happily.

"Hey guys!" Bart and Dawn ran out of the house excited. "Guess what!"

"Chicken butt!" Homer laughed at his own lame joke while Marge just sighed.

Dawn showed everyone her new engagement ring. "We just got hitched!"

"That's wonderful!" Marge shouted!

"Another good man bites the dust." Nelson replied, earning him a punch on the arm courtesy of Lisa."

"That's great!" Homer beamed. "Let's celebrate with a beer!"

"Homie, you don't drink beer anymore."

"WHAT? WHO THE HELL THOUGHT OF THAT CRAP!"

I did.

"That does it! I've had it with your bullcrap you stupid author!" Homer started running in circles and screaming, looking like a walrus having a seizure.

"I'll seizure you!"

Everyone just watched in confusion.

Marge turned to Bart and said "Bart please get the number for those nice gentlemen at the sanitarium."

Bart went back into the house as Homer continued to act like an ape in heat.

"D'OH!"
