Chapter 1 - A New VRMMORPG
It was another fine day at the Griffin house. However, their dogs, Brian and Vinny, and New Brian, who was visiting, were away to visit Vinny's mother. The human family members were in the living room watching another program.
"We interrupt this program so that we can give you this special announcement," the announcer said.
The scene cut to the Quahog 5 Newsroom.
"Good afternoon," anchorman Tom Tucker addressed. "We are pleased to announce that a new Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game has been released today. The game is called Quest for Imagination. In this game, the player will immerse into a world where imagination becomes reality. Anyone who beats the game will have their name immortalized on the scoreboards."
"A new role-playing game, and it's virtual reality?" Chris asked. "Oh, Mom, can you and Dad get the game for me?"
"I don't know, Chris," Lois shrugged. "It's a lot of money. Besides, your father and I are on a budget."
"I wouldn't worry about it, Lois," Peter replied. "Besides, the last time I played a VRMMORPG was when I played .hack."
Cutaway: We see Peter in a desert, wearing a guilders uniform and holding a staff, addressing a group of other guilders.
"Okay," Peter addressed. "The best ways to defeat this dragon is to either flash our wieners at it or shoot elemental potions at it."
"But what if it breathes fire at us?" a guilder asked.
"Then, maybe we can shield ourselves with a protection spell from our staffs," Peter replied.
We cut to a retirement home for dogs. Brian, Vinny and New Brian's visit to see Vinny's mother was over, and they walked out the main door.
"Boy, I gotta tell ya', Vin," New Brian began. "That mother of yours is really something."
"Yeah," Brian agreed. "Her Apple Betty is out of this world."
"You should taste her veal cutlets on the next visit," Vinny replied.
Brian and New Brian chuckled as the three dogs got into the Prius.
Before Brian could start the Prius, his phone dinged. He had just gotten a text message.
"Huh," Vinny began. "What's going on, B?"
"It's Stewie," Brian replied. "He says that there's a new VRMMORPG available today called Quest for Imagination."
"A VRMMORPG?" New Brian repeated. "I sometimes get terrible with those kinds of games. Usually, I end up getting my lives lost, resulting in a game over."
"Don't worry, N.B.," Vinny assured. "I've dealt with virtual reality before. I've been to a mobster simulation."
"You don't think...?" Brian started to ask.
"Nah," Vinny replied. "Besides, I think this new role-playing game is a blast. Let's buy a copy of this game, just for the hell of it."
"Are you sure you want to spend some money on a game?" New Brian asked. "What about your budget?"
"If Vin says that he can buy the game, I'd have to agree," Brian replied.
"Well..." New Brian began, thinking long and hard. "Okay. What do we have to lose?"
"First off, we need to buy some cardboard headsets for our phones," Brian replied.
