Ginger Stewie
A Family Guy fanfic
by DecaTilde
Author's Note: I contacted FOX via email about the unused subplot for the Season 14 episode "Candy Quahog Marshmallow", but I never got a reply from them about it, and I probably should have called either Seth MacFarlane, or Fuzzy Door Productions, about it. Anyway, here's a fanfic about what I assume the unused subplot should have been.
Chapter 1 - A Sign of Red Hair
It all began one day at the Griffin house, while Peter was away with Cleveland Brown and Joe Swanson at Glenn Quagmire's to watch tapes of the Korean soap opera, Winter Summer. Stewie was in his room playing with a toy tea set.
"I have to say, Rupert," he addressed his teddy bear, "this magic tea set sure does turn cold water into pink tea like it says."
He pulled a pretend cracker from a plate and dipped a knife in a cup.
"Would you like a cracker?" he asked.
"Hey, Stewie," Brian greeted, coming into the bedroom.
"Oh," Stewie regarded. "Hey. Did you come in here to gloat about my playing with this magic tea set?"
"No," Brian answered. "I just came in here to charge my phone."
"Why aren't you going to do it downstairs?" Stewie asked.
Brian replied, "Chris accidentally hit a circuit breaker and the power's out downstairs. Good thing the router wasn't affected."
He then noticed a little something different about Stewie.
"Hey, is that a red strand on your head?"
Stewie took notice.
"What the deuce?" he said, alarmed. "Am I turning into a clown?"
"What? No, I think you might be getting that from Lois."
"I don't think so, Brian," Stewie shook his head. "I went ahead thirty years to see what I would become as an adult with my time machine yesterday, and I saw that he had brown hair like the Fat Man. Didn't want to talk to myself, since he'd be shocked."
Cutaway: Indeed, Stewie saw an adult version of himself peering from outside his apartment window. The adult Stewie's head had a bald spot. And yes, it was brown like he said. Anyway, he was preparing a sandwich in the kitchen.
"Good Lord," Stewie thought. "What sort of life am I living in this time? Is this guy a virgin?"
Back to the bedroom.
"Well," Brian shrugged, "time may not always be accurate. So I guess we should go to the doctor to see what's going on."
Stewie sighed. "I guess you're right. After all, what do we have to lose?"
