Quick ficlet for Bart! Because Chase. What.


"..." says Gert.

"What?" says Chase.

"Honey," says Gert.

Chase doesn't think this bodes well. "We're broke," he points out.

"You cannot buy that vest."

"No animals were harmed in the making of this vest, baby. It's 100% not fur. What's the problem?"

"Karolina's the fur freak, Chase. I'm talking about basic taste."

"It's hot."

"Chase."

"It's got pins," he points out.

"You can put pins on anything, honey," Gert says, because Chase is dumb.

"This comes with pins. Like, attached. And it's two bucks."

"Two bucks and your dignity."

"Ooh, a fez!"

Gert rubs her forehead. Later, Chase makes a compelling pro vest arugment using the dressing rooms, and Gert remembers he didn't have any dignity to start with.

"Hi Chase hi Arsenic everything's fine me and Molly watched a movie and she's asleep and I was gonna get up but she looked really comfy on my arm but I kept her safe and Victor's home now so it's really safe did you get a new vest?" says Impulse.

Chase looks at him, daring him to insult the vest.

"It's nice!" says Impulse.

"..." says Chase.

Gert pays Impulse five dollars after Chase throws away the vest. Some things are worth it.
