Struggling to Survive | A Simpsons Fanfic

Chapter 5: Different Destinations

    Lisa and Nick had just got back on Stormy after sitting by the lake, and they were now fastly galloping, their hairs blowing in the wind. They still had a long way to go and were fretting that the king was after them.

    "Nick, does your father have a horse?" Lisa asked hoarsely.

    "Yes, his horse's name is Butterball. Fortunately for us, his horse is elderly and can't jump a hurdle," He said soothingly. Lisa pampered down and smiled. Nick always knew what to say.

    "Are we almost there?" Lisa asked another question, obviously curious.

    "I can't tell. We should be, seeing as we have passed the lake of terror," He firmly stated that, and afterward, he yelled at Stormy, "Giddy-up! Faster, faster!" Lisa admired Nick. He didn't use the whip. He was respectful.

    "Oh. My. God." Lisa said out of nowhere. Stormy halted, and they were both thrown back. Right in front of them was a blessing. Right in front of them was Moe's. "We're almost to my cottage!" She exclaimed happily. Nick grinned.

                                                                                           ***

    The Simpson family was still walking along, trying to find the castle. Bart grumbled. His clothing had been ripped off by a bear, he had deep cuts, and his family looked more miserable than ever. "Mom, are we almost there," He asked, his voice rough and scratchy.

    "I don't know, but if Homer didn't break the compass, then maybe I would know," Marge said. tossing her dark blue hair behind her back, purposely whipping Homer in the face.

    "Doh! It wasn't my fault, the donkey looked hungry," He whined. Bart rolled my eyes. He asked himself, why did his mother marry such a buffoon?

    After countless miles of walking, they all fell to the ground. "Marge, we need water. I'm too weak to go on," Homer said weakly.

    "Hm... The only source of water is that swamp over there, but I don't think it looks saf-" Marge tried to finish her sentence, but both of the boys hurried to the lake and gulped up water. Then she noticed they were eating the weeds. "Ew." was all she said before she joined them Then, Bart turned around and pointed with shock on his face. "Ay caramba!"

    They saw a sight they longed to see. The castle. It was right in front of them.

  

What do you think is going to happen now that they are both in different places?
