I'll Miss U Two
For one Lisa Mary Simpson, life could not be better.
Sure there was the massive issue of her dad contaminating an entire lake she had done everything she could to clean up, the government putting a dome over the people of Springfields head and keeping them like elephants in a circus, and the entire town forming an angry mob to try and kill them.(Nearly being killed by a bomb they had implanted in the town not withstanding)
But things had changed, her father had come back and saved everyone, Grandpa was now the richest man in Springfield and was using that power to help everyone, and people were taking the environment more seriously.
Also, she had a boyfriend!
Sure, she and Collin had only been officially dating for a week, but already they were enjoying the time of their life.
The happy couple of 10 year olds both sitting in the park, each with an ice cream in hand, cones of course, better for the tree's and all that.
A lovely view of the slowly rebuilt Springfield as well, many houses and ports being fixed as the builders her grandfather hired got to work in repairing everything.
"I have to say, its really nice what your grandfather is doing for all the little people." Collin admitted, taking a lick of his chocolate and vanilla double scoop as you got Strawberry with Mint.
"Yeah, Grandpa was never one for luxury, so he just prefers to spread it around." The middle child of the Simpson family admitted, recalling how her grandfather once tried to help others with all the money he had from his late girlfriend.
Of course, if not for dad, he would have lost everything too an unlucky gamble.
"The lakes been looking clearer these days, less mutants are coming out of it." The Irish boy who made her heart pound joked, getting a giggle from her as the sun was beginning to fade a little.
"Hopefully that gets cleaned up, I seriously don't know what dad did that caused such a pollution." Lisa admitted, not at all sure how tankard of Pig and Human crap was bad enough to cause mutations.
Unless there was something else in that lake that possibly mixed with it, which given Burns frequently used it as a dumping ground, was very likely in her eyes....
"I'll never forget moments like these with you Lisa, there's never a dull moment in this town." Collin admitted, looking melancholic as he leaned to the side.
"Yeah, and plenty more to come... right?" Lisa asked, confused as the boy looked downtrodden.
"There's actually been something I've been meaning to tell you." He admitted, rubbing his shoulder with his free arm as he looked her in the eye.
"My family... we're leaving America in 2 weeks time."
"What..you can't go, we just survived the dome and the reconstructing and the mess of the-." Lisa said
"My Dad nearly died in here Lisa." He said looking down at the street, "Nearly got killed from drinking and then picking fights for food and water for me and Ma, it's not that I want to leave it's just...we also lost our home and most of the insurance money isn't enough to help with rebuilding. We're going to be foreclosed."
"But I can ask my Grandfather to?-" She started
"Lisa, it is a matter of safety and pride, The Dome took both, and now Dad's pulling us out to the home country." He said.
"But he can't just leave your one of the best people I've met." She said.
"Aye, I know...but I'm not as cruel as to not say good bye properly." He said grabbing his guitar.
Love thee dearest, love thee
Yes, by yonder star I swear
Which through tears above thee
Shines so sadly fair
Thou, too, oft dimmed
With tears like him
Like him my truth will shine
And love thee, dearest, love thee
Yes ? till death I?m thine.
Dormi amore dormi
Porta il fuore dove vuoi
Vola verso I sogni
Bella come sei
Tue sei per me la stella she
Per sempre brillera
E dormi amore dormi
E gia notte ormai
Dimmi amore dimmi
Che non te ne andrai mai piu
Quante notti insonni
Se mi manchi tu
Accanto a me le vuvole
Non torneranno mai
E sogna tutti I sogni
Che l?amore da
L?amore da
As the song rang in her ears Lisa dreamed with open eyes the life that could have been.
Slammed doors from neighbors for asking about thermostats and environmental causes, time and time again, she knew that they only needed one to get that feeling of satisfaction.
Playing on the playground, attending parties, going to prom, learning more about him and his family and trying to deal with her's.
It was all nothing more then a phantom dream now.
She almost didn't feel the tears rushing down her face as she hugged him for but a moment.
She wanted it to last forever, the song, the feeling, the moment...but all moments end, and then she released her grasp from him.
"We still have one more day right?" Colin asked. "What do you want to do with it?"
"Anything" She breathed through a cracking voice "Anything, as long as I get do to it with you."
Through tears in his own eyes, Colling smiled as he took out a flyer made from recyclable plastic from his coat. "I hear there's a new aquarium opening up, lets give it a visit and spend time time at the park."
He suggested, as with a sniffling nose, Lisa could only nod, wishing she had some tissue's at the moment.
And so the couple would spend what might be the last time they would ever see one another again, trying their hardest not to be sad it was all ending.
But happy that it had happened..

Looking up at the airplane about to head off, Lisa didn't know what to say as she saw the boy of her dreams about to leave her forever.
The blonde girl sat in the Terminal Lounge room, the song he had sung for her still playing in her head, it was almost time for them to go, and even if she said goodbye the pain in her heart made it more and more sorrowful to bear.
"Dad...why does saying Goodbye hurt so much?" She asked as Homer took a moment to look at her.
"Lisa, I've done a lot of things in my life I've regretted and some I've never done, but you have an opportunity to give that moment of closure." He said, sounding strangely wise for a man that normally was such a goofball.
"Because Grandma left." You said.
"The first time she left without saying goodbye very well, and it hurt so much that a part of me never really forgave her. You have the opportunity, to ease some of that pain." He said, "Now say goodbye one last time, to make sure it won't hurt forever."
Lisa was only a minute away as she saw Colin standing and looking at the Plane to Ireland.
"Collin! Goodbye, I won't ever forget you." Lisa shouted, rushing down the gate as she needed him too here it as he nodded, and waved back.
"Slán a fhágáil, mo Aingeal, feicfidh mé i mo bhrionglóidí thú!" He tearfully spoke, boarding the plane as he stepped inside.
The gates closing as a security guard pulled her back, while through the pane of the window seat, the redhaired boy who set her heart ablaze waved back as it took off into the sky.
As they border Homer stood and held her Shoulders as they watched the Plane take off into a never-ending sky.

As he lay by the window seat, watching the girl he loved getting smaller and smaller till she all but disappeared from his line of sight, Collin sighed as he lay in the place, soon reaching proper altitude as they could take off their seatbelts.
"I'm sorry son, I knew ya loved her." His father spoke to him, putting a hand on his shoulder as they were finally heading back to their home country "But after all tha-
"I know Dad, I don't blame you." Collin admitted, looking his father in the eye as he lay a hand to his temple. "How do you do it dad, going so over the country, leaving all the people you like behind, all just to make the world happy?" The redhead asked his father as he frowned.
Paul David Hewson, sat and just thought for a minute, before giving his son an answer "I never forget them, I let them stay in my heart and hope we can meet again soon." He reassured his boy, getting a smile from the lad as soon a food tray arrived for them. "So any reason you never told anyone who I was?"
"I didn't want to spend my whole new life just being known as 'Bono's Kid'." Collin Hewson told his father, both having a chuckle as their plane flied off into the sunset.
And although his heart hardened at leaving Lisa behind, he had a feeling one day they would meet again...
