My Simpsons Guy Story: chapter 35

Due to the reality show going on, Bart and Lisa didn't want to hurt Meg's feelings or anything, but they were anxious about going over to the house with the thought of cameras being around. Meg took it a little well, accepting their decision, but she really missed them while they would be gone, especially Bart.  Marge hated to see them down in the dumps, so she decided to take the kids out for the day and they decided they should get that new pet that Marge had been talking about for a while.

"A new pet might be nice for our new home," Bart shrugged, he was feeling a little sad since he hadn't been able to hang out with Meg lately. "What kinda pet can we get, Mom?"

"Whichever you kids want," Marge said, letting go of Maggie's hand, allowing her to go to her brother and sister. "It can be another cat... Another dog... A fish... Anything..."

Maggie went to a Komodo Dragon cage and pointed to it.

Marge looked anxious, but firmly declined. "Except that one!"

Maggie frowned, but she respected her mother's wishes.

"Awesome, Mom, there's pet skunks!" Bart looked through the glass.

"I think two slobbering and stinky animals in the house are enough!" Lisa scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Hey!" Bart glared at her. "YOU stink!"

"No, you stink!"

"YOU stink!"

"Bart, Lisa, stop that!" Marge scolded the two, then sighed. "Please stop fighting..."

"Sorry, Mom..." Bart and Lisa murmured.

Maggie walked and looked at the various animals. She saw dogs happily getting on their hind legs and looked very excited about possibly being adopted by the family.

"Hey, you!" an Italian voice called.

Maggie blinked, she looked around and then saw there was a dog standing up like the Griffin dog, Brian, only he had a black collar and appeared to be a different breed of dog.

"Yeah, you, Spike," the dog said to her, making her come to him. "Ya want a special dog?"

Maggie smiled and then nodded.

The dog raised a brow at her. "What's the problem? Can't ya talk?"

Maggie frowned and shook her head.

"I'm a talkin' dog and I just met a human that can't, what a world we live in," the dog shook its head. "The name's Vinny."

"Did you find a little friend, Maggie?" Lisa came up to her younger sister, then saw the dog. "Oh, wow, what an intelligent looking canine we have here!"

"Can't you say 'dog' like a normal person your age?" Vinny looked at her. "Or better yet, 'doggy'? Teenage girls... I'll never understand 'em..."

"Wow, a talking dog!" Lisa was shocked. "You must have a high IQ!"

"Well, at least she thinks I'm smart..." Vinny smirked.

"Mom, could we get this one?" Lisa asked.

"Hmm... I dunno..." Marge looked a little hesitant about having another dog after Santa's Little Helper and those 25 puppies he had.

"Aw, come on, Blue, ya can trust me," Vinny smiled. "I'm sure your brother and sisters will be pleased..."

Marge blinked and looked around, then smiled sheepishly. "Oh, n-no... Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are my children... I'm their mother."

"Really!" Vinny sounded shocked. "Ya don't say..."

Marge looked flattered. "Okay, kids, we'll take the talking dog."

"Woo-hoo!" Bart, and Lisa cheered.

"What breed are you anyway, Vinny?" Bart asked as they walked out of Quahog's pet store together.

"I'm a pussy hound." Vinny replied.

This made Bart laugh out loud.

"That means he's part cat," Lisa glanced to her brother, but hugged Vinny. "Isn't that right?"

"Yeah... 1/16th." Vinny said, hugging her back, then seemed to start purring.

Lisa giggled. "Oh... A new pet... Maybe living in Quahog won't be so bad after all..."

Meg was shown, looking very depressed as she walked out of a restaurant, she was very angry. She slammed the door shut behind her and walked down the street.

"Meg, MEG!" Bart called after her, running down the block to catch up with her.

"That his girl?" Vinny asked.

"You could say that." Lisa shrugged with a smile.

"Meg, wait up!" Bart ran down the street as Meg stormed off.

Meg stopped and glared, looking angry, but then her expression softened once she saw who wanted her. "Oh, Bart... I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, I should've expected that reaction," Bart chuckled, then saw she was alone. "Umm... Where are the cameras?"

"I quit the show..." Meg folded her arms. "They can kill me off or whatever, I don't care... I'm not going home."

"But, Meg... Where will you live?"

"I dunno... I'm gonna go home now and pack up to leave... I might come back, but I dunno..."

"Why don't you stay with us?" Bart suggested. "You know Mom and Dad like having you around..."

"Yeah... I guess..."

"Why don't you quickly go home and we'll meet you at our place. You can stay as long as you want."

"Oh, thank you, Bart!" Meg sounded excited. "I'll go now!" she then kissed his cheek and ran off.

Bart chuckled to himself. "Ya done good, Simpson... Ya done good..."
