 After [[Mr. Winfield|Mr.]] and [[Sylvia Winfield|Mrs. Winfield]] moved out of [[740 Evergreen Terrace]], Ruth and Laura Powers moved in. When [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] snuck into the basement of the house to look around, Laura scared Bart, making him fall over. When Bart realized that Laura was beautiful, he wanted to say something clever, but instead said that he fell on his bottom. [[Marge]] and Bart later visited the Powers family to welcome them to the neighborhood. Laura politely greeted them at the door, which impressed Marge.
-Laura and Bart started hanging out, with Bart asking Laura if she knew various prank techniques. Laura then did a fake palm reading on Bart, telling him that he would be rich in the future before spitting on his hand to symbolize him owning a swimming pool. Bart decided that he would never wash his hand again, which grossed Lisa out. When [[Homer]] wanted to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet at [[The Frying Dutchman]], Bart suggested that Laura could babysit them. Bart took a bath and donned a jacket and pipe, a la {{Ch|Hugh Hefner}}, in an attempt to impress Laura. Laura and the kids ordered food from [[Two Guys from Kabul]] before Laura taught them how to waltz. When she was teaching Bart, he had a fantasy sequence of the two of them dancing together.

 Bart's feelings for Laura kept developing as they spent more time together. One night, Laura told Bart to meet her at [[Bart's treehouse|his treehouse]]. Thinking that Laura might confess her feelings to him, Bart eagerly went to the treehouse. Laura showed up in a red dress, only to reveal that she had a new boyfriend. Heartbroken, Bart imagined Laura ripping his heart out before throwing it into the trash. Bart was then shocked to find that Laura's new boyfriend was [[Jimbo Jones]], one of his bullies. Jimbo then showed up on a bike and took Laura out.

+'''Laura Powers''' is a teenage girl who lives next door to the [[Simpson family|Simpsons]] and is the only child of single-parent divorcee [[Ruth Powers]].
 == History ==
-Laura and her mother Ruth moved into the house next door when the Winfields moved out. [[Marge]] and Ruth quickly became friends; so did Laura and [[Bart]]. After Laura made Bart faint in the basement of her new house, he developed a crush on her. Bart was later heartbroken when he found out that she was in love with [[Jimbo Jones]]. When Bart prank called Moe's Tavern, Laura thought that Jimbo had prank called the area, and she decided to break up with him. She then stated that she would date Bart if he were a little older: "You know, if you were only old enough to grow a bad teenage moustache, I'd go out with you in a second." She then kissed him.<ref>"[[New Kid on the Block]]"</ref>

 == Personality ==
-Laura has a tomboyish, laid-back and quick witted charming personality. While outgoing and upbeat, she also displays a great deal of etiquette and manners, from which she owes to a strict and rigorous childhood. Her likes include rebellious quasi-thugs, poking dead bodies with a stick, and messing with peoples' minds. Her favorite restaurant is [[Two Guys from Kabul]]. Her biggest thrill is riding the Shriek-o-lator at Duff Gardens. Her dislikes include authority and disco. Her extracurricular activities include babysitting, telling fortunes, and dance instructing. Her secret shame, according to "The Bart Book" and her skybox card, is that she enjoys wearing dresses, despite being a tomboy.
+[[File:Laura wet willy.png|thumb|Laura gives Bart a wet willy.]]
-Her foreign travels have forced her to adapt quickly to any situation. She can make herself understood in eight different languages but makes friends from "the universal language of the wedgie." Her claim to fame, apparently, is that she can spit farther than any boy.<ref>''{{ap|Skybox|cards}}''</ref>

 == Description ==
-"Laura Powers is a tough-talkin', good-lookin' Army brat who can turn a young rebel's heart to mush in the time it takes to give you a Hertz Donut. She speaks politely to adults when necessary, teaches cats to waltz, and makes even belches seem alluring. After just one look and a couple of Wet Willies, Bart makes the ultimate sacrifice for her - he takes a bath."<ref>"[[The Bart Book]]"</ref>
