Chapter 2 - Finding Answers
The next day, while the Griffins were having breakfast, and Stewie looked rather unhappy, Vinny came home with a rather-disappointing look on his face.
"Any luck, Uncle V?" Marcus asked.
"Nothing yet, Marcus," Vinny answered regrettably, shrugging. "Perhaps I'll try again, maybe with a little help, but not today, seeing is how I have some other things to take care of."
"What is it that you do, Uncle Vinny?" Briana asked.
"I'd rather not say in front of you kids," Vinny answered. "It's pretty much complicated."
Cutaway: We see Vinny outside, smoking a cigar while talking on his cellular phone.
"Chuck," he began, "are you sure you want it done soon? I've already gone through the loss of my owner, and I've been adopted by a family after one of their dogs died. Really? You want it done?" He then sighed. "Well, all right. Tell Ma I said hi." With that he hung up the phone and looked behind himself with a worried look on his face. "Well, I'd rather not disappoint the family, not even my sister in-law or the puppies."
Back to the kitchen.
"Plus, I even had Bruce fit me for a suit."
Cutaway: We see Vinny and Bruce in a dressing room, with the gay human holding a ruler and running it around Vinny's waist.
"Okay, Mr. Vinny," Bruce said, "I'd say you're qualified for a good nineteen inches around the waist."
"Grazie, Bruce," Vinny thanked.
"Now let's check the height and width of the sleeves."
With that, Bruce ran the ruler to check the widths and heights on Vinny's arms, his legs, and even under his belly, which caused Vinny's legs to stretch while the belly raised.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Vinny said, handing a back-up signal. "Watch it there."
Author's note: This is based on the dual action Vinny shares with Bruce in the mobile game Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff .
Later that night, while Peter and Lois were in bed, they were getting really worried about Stewie.
"Boy," Lois sighed, "Stewie was really upset about the Christmas Carnival being canceled. He's been acting out all day."
Cutaway: We're back in the kitchen. It was in the afternoon, and Stewie was putting something inside the salt shaker. He put it down and had an innocent look on his face. When Meg picked up the shaker, a snake popped out and bit her in the neck, causing her to swell up.
Back to the bedroom.
"Ah, I'm sure he'll be over it in no time," Peter assured. "Besides, how much trouble can he cause? He's a baby."
Cutaway: Stewie opened his bedroom window and prepared his revolver at the Swansons' hot tub, where Joe was relaxing. He shot at the floatie supporting Joe's left arm.
"Hey, what the hell?" Joe said as his left arm sank.
Stewie then shot the floatie supporting Joe's right leg.
"What's happening?!" Joe shouted, trying to swim. "Who's doing this?! Stop! I can't swim without these things!"
Stewie cocked his gun. "Then maybe you shouldn't have built a hot tub, Joseph," he whispered before shooting the floatie supporting Joe's right arm.
"Bonnie!" Joe called. "Bonnie, help!"
Stewie once again cocked his gun. "She wants this to happen, Joe," he whispered. "Look at her." Upon this, Bonnie just looked at Joe with her eyelids lowered. "Anyone wearing a nightgown at two in the afternoon is not a happy person. The best use of your time now is to release yourself into Death's warm embrace."
Joe was still trying to swim with only his left leg floating, until both his arms sank. "I'm ready to go," he said, about to accept his fate.
Stewie was ready to shoot the last floatie before he was shot in the arm. He yelped in pain and held his arm, dropping the gun. "Who did that?" he asked, looking around.
The answer, Susie Swanson, glared at Stewie with a gun in her hand. She had just saved her dad. "Not on my watch, pal," she thought, still using her Patrick Stewart voice.
The next day, as the Griffins were watching Miracle on 134th Street, Vinny had just come home with Jenny and Marcus.
"So," Barbara began, noticing them come in, "did you and Uncle Vinny find out who cancelled the Carnival?"
"You bet we did, Mom," Jenny answered.
"Well, who did it?" Ollie asked.
Vinny replied, "Turns out I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows another guy, who knows a girl, which is weird because they don't usually know nothing, who says the Carnival was canceled by the mall's owner: some guy named Carter Pewterschmidt."
"Oh, my God!" Lois responded, shocked.
"And I may need some time alone to find another guy workin' on findin' out who that is," Vinny continued.
"It's my father," Lois informed, as Barbara and the puppies' eyes widened.
"Oh!" Vinny shouted, surprised. "This is a twist I did not expect. Oh! Excuse me, I'm just gonna have to "Oh" this out until I'm not surprised anymore." With that, he exited the living room going "Oh! Oh! Oh!" every two-thirds of a second before eventually calming down.
"Lois' daddy?" Marcus repeated. "Why would he cancel the Carnival?"
"I don't know, Marcus," Briana shrugged. "I guess we'll have to go to wherever he is and find out."
"Not without my say so, kids," Barbara replied. "We'll have to let Uncle Vinny drive us to his work place, because I worry about you kids."
"Well, okay, Mom," Marcus said. "I'll go check on Uncle Vinny to see if he's calmed down."
With that, he walked to the study where Vinny was.
"Hey, Uncle Vin," Marcus greeted, getting his attention.
"Oh, hey Marcus," Vinny replied.
"Mom is thinking about going to take us all to see Carter," Marcus said. "That way, we can convince him to bring the Carnival back."
"I dunno, Marcus, it may not be that easy," Vinny shrugged. "I convinced Mayor West to repeal the drinking restriction law to age 50."
"Yeah," Marcus agreed. "Seeing is how you're a seven-year-old dog, and that's an equivalent of 49 in human years."
"You-you're a little know-it-all, ain't ya, Marcus?" Vinny noticed. "You seem to get that from your father's side, God rest his soul."
"Yeah, but I'm still getting over it," Marcus replied.
"Okay, we're going to Mr. Pewterschmidt's office first thing tomorrow morning," Vinny said. "I gotta wear some'n nice. It's a good thing I've been saving my classy outfit for such an occasion." With that, he walked away and came back a few seconds later wearing a maroon shirt, a brown coat and a pair of glasses.
"Uh, why are you wearing those clothes, Uncle Vinny?" Marcus asked. "You look like some sort of college professor with a degree for literature."
"Why, thank you, Marcus," Vinny replied, feeling complimented. "That was mighty nice of you."
Author's note: Vinny's mention about convincing Mayor West is a callback, or, in this case, a call-foward, to FG1414 - "Underage Peter", and I felt that his wearing that outfit earlier in the fanfic would be better for convincing Carter to bring the Carnival back than looking like just a regular dog.
