Background
Upon meeting her, Principal Skinner developed a crush on Calliope, so he made Bart Simpson date Melody Juniper (Calliope's daughter), so he can be close to her. She danced with Skinner at an arcade store, next to the "Nacho-Cano". She offered Skinner to go out of the city with her, saying it could last for one day or for forever. Skinner accepted and dated her three months. They soon broke up and Skinner returned to Springfield. He initially thought it was only a day when they broke up but was happy he maintained it as long as he could.
