Terri and Sherri are also very mischievous. They love to cause trouble but unlike Bart, they rarely if ever get caught. Bart is one of their favorite targets. One time they kissed Bart, making him cause another disruption and be forced to sing on the bus. On another occasion, the gave him intentionally false information on American History; however, both girls correctly guessed that Bart had not prepared himself for a test and was looking to get all the answers from a student who studied, so the prank was arguably to teach Bart a lesson in slacking; since if he had studied, he would have realized the information was incongruent.
Terri appears to have a crush on Bart, as stated by her sister in Bart Star. However, nothing in particular has become of it yet. This could be down to Bart seemingly being more interested in Sherri, who does not return his feelings most of the time.
Their relationship with Lisa is especially complicated. In some episodes, they may be friends, in others they will reject or berate her. Most often, it’s the latter. While they pretend to be friendly towards people they dislike[4] they’re far less subtle towards Lisa. While easy to assume they reject her for being “too smart” or “too weird” they themselves are both smart and strange. In addition, they have sometimes been seen interacting with kids such as Allison Taylor, Martin and even Ralph implying their hostility towards Lisa is more personal. On the few occasions where they appear to be friends, Lisa makes little effort to interact with them or even ignores them completely, which they have even complained about in Mypods and Boomsticks
They have also done a few nice deeds for Lisa, like letting Lisa sit between them when nobody else let her have a seat or cheering her on in I'm Spelling As Fast As I Can.
Their social standing is just as inconsistent. They are sometimes lumped in with the popular girls yet they’re rarely if ever given a voiced appearance amongst them. When they do take an active role in shunning Lisa, they’re almost always alone and they have never led any groups of girls. In addition, at the end of Sleeping with the Enemy, Janey and all of the other girls they have interacted with, except for Allison and Alex Whitney showed themselves to be every bit as fair-weathered to the twins as they are to Lisa. As such, their social status might only be slightly better than Lisa’s.
Despite all of their similarities, they aren’t always considered equals. In Simpson Tide, Skinner makes it clear that in the event of a nuclear disaster he only intended to save Sherri but not Terri. When recruited into a mob in The Simpsons Game, Terri will remark about having a chance to step out of her sister’s shadow, implying she feels unappreciated or inferior to Sherri.
