Act I
- Nearly Nine Years Ago
It's Homer and Marge's first wedding anniversary and the two are taking a stroll through the Springfield Glenne shopping mall. "Lets just enjoy our happiness Homie," Marge says, "Accidental motherhood is the greatest thing that can ever happen to a woman and I think Bart has finally out-grown his misbehavior." The couple look down at the stroller they're pushing along, only to see it empty. Across the courtyard, in the window of a clothing store, a baby Bart lies in the arms of a mannequin sucking on its breast. Homer lets out a yelp and quickly rushes inside and yanks Bart off the mannequin, as various Springfieldians look on. Embarrassed, Homer places Bart back in the stroller, before Ned Flanders offers to look after him. Homer hands Bart over and him and Marge head off to enjoy their anniversary; they have a massage, make out in the changing room of a store, and take a ride on the L'il Lisa train around the mall. "Oh Homie, what a wonderful anniversary," Marge whispers, as she relaxes in her husband's arms. "Yep," Homer replies, "We've got something money can't buy: love on a train. And I promise each anniversary will be better and better."
- The Present
"But somehow our anniversaries didn't get better than that first one on the train," Homer says solemnly, as he walks through the now derelict Springfield Glenne mall with Bart and Lisa. However, Homer announces his plans to recreate his and Marge's magical first anniversary and ending it with a romantic ride on the L'il Lisa. Just then, Homer spots several workmen dismantling the train tracks and stripping apart the train, much to his horror. One of the workmen, Rafael, explains that no one rides the train anymore so it's being replaced with a medical marijuana stand. Homer decides to take the rusted L'il Lisa home with him and re-decorate it so it looks just as it did on his first anniversary with Marge.
