Everyone was seated at the dinner table, including Chris who was patched up by the doctors, being served dinner. Lois started making conversation.
"So, Meg how was school today?" Lois asked, trying to show interest in her daughter's life.
With a resigned sigh Meg went over the events of the day. "I was teased again by Connie and the other poular kids," Meg explained. "They stole my books, they stuffed me in a locker, and I almost got raped by jocks just for fun until Neil came by and got beat up long enough for me to get awa-."
"Oh, Blah blah blah! All you ever do is whine," said Peter rudely cut her off, "Anyway, today Quagmire called me fat and stupid. It made me cry." he whined.
"Aww, Peter," said Lois, "You're not fat, you're just a little..."
"Wait a minute! Hold the phone!" Zack interrupted, "Your daughter said she was almost raped by jocks and nobody gives a crap? This fat stupid idiot says Quagmire calls him a fat stupid idiot and suddenly he's a victim. HE'S A FAT STUPID IDIOT!" Zack exploded in outrage.
"But...but... it hurt so bad," whined Peter whined.
''You're supposed to be a grown man for heaven's sake! Act like it!'' How can anyone be that self-absorbed. I swear, and I thought my family was screwed up.
"Okay,'' Lois cut in, trying to steer the conversation in a different direction. ''Why don't you tell us about yourself, Zack," asked Lois, "What do you do for a living?"
"I work at 7-11 as a clerk," Zack simply stated.
"And?" Lois pressed on.
''That's it. You see when your kid cost me my job my life took a downturn. It took me weeks to find a new job, meaning I have no rent and I was kicked out of my apartment. My girlfriend left me, and being the psycho she is, destroying several of my items in the process. Items which took a lot of money to replace, which resulted in me not being able to pay for the classes I attended to take that season. Of course, the community college I went to, had an insane and insensible standard and blacklist me for reasons they didn't want to disclose and as a result I currently have no goals.''
"You're homeless?" asked Meg, "Do you sleep in the streets?"
"No, I have to live in that damn 7-11 store," Zack bitterly remarked, "Even then, I'm still late for work." he added, mentally cursing his boss.
"Can't you rent an apartment or something?'' Brian asked him.
''I have no support from most of my friends or a girlfriend to stay with. Not to mention I earn minimum wage so yeah, that's not really an option.'' I would stay with Terrel, but his brother's scare me.
"Wow," said Brian, "Chris sure did fuck up your life didn't he? Wait how did you get the car?"
"A Gift from my mom," Zack answered, a hint of a smile twitched at his lips. His mom was one of the few people in his life who wasn't a complete Jerkass.
"Mom, can I talk to you in the living room?" Meg asked her as she and Lois left the kitchen.
"What is it, Meg?'' she asked.
"Zack has no place to stay," Meg stated, "Can we let him stay here until he gets back on his feet?" she pleaded.
"I don't know, sweetie," Lois replied with a look of indecision, "We don't really know him."
"But Chris ruined his life," Meg argued, "It's only fair if we help fix it. He can pay rent and sleep in the attic." she hopefully suggested.
"Alright, Meg," said Lois, "But you're being responsible for him." she informed her daughter.
She and Meg walked back into the kitchen where the boys were in deep discussion.
"What would you rather do?" Peter asked, "Eat a stinkbug, or tongue kiss Paris Hilton.''
"Stinkbug," said Zack, Brian, and Chris stated one after another.
"Definitely the stinkbug," Stewie added
"Peter," said Lois, "Meg and I decided that since Zack's homeless, he can stay with us."
Zack promptly began choking on the Sprite he was drinking with.
"What?" Peter asked in outrage, "No freaking way! Not after what he did to Chris."
"But, Chris is the one who ruined him!" Meg argued him.
"I have to agree with Meg, Peter," said Lois, "And he's not staying for free. He'll be paying rent." she added.
"Well, I'm king of this household, so I say nay!" Peter stated.
"Let's vote," Brian suggested, "All, in favor of Zack staying, Aye."
"Aye," said Meg, Lois, Stewie and Brian.
"All opposed?'' Brian asked.
"Nay!" shouted Chris and Peter.
"4 against 2," Brian stated, "Welcome to the Griffin household."
"Fine, but since he's under my roof, he'll be living by MY rules," Peter argued.
"Okay, what "rules" must he abide by?" Lois asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Rule # 1, he MUST participate in Meg Bashing."
"Fuck that," Zack shouted as he went upstairs to the attic.
"Hey, hey! Get back here!" shouted Peter, "Oh geez! This is is gonna suck worse than the time I beat Vegeta from Dragonball Z at checkers"
Vegeta and Peter are playing checkers when Peter takes Vegeta's last game piece.
"YAY! I win!" Peter stated and clapped.
"WHAT? First Kakarot beats me and now THIS?" said Vegeta, "A fat human?"
"Geez, Veggie, lighten up," said Peter, "It's just a game."
"JUST A GAME?" shouted Vegeta as he kicked the game-board, "I AM THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS! I'M SUPPOSED TO WIN AT EVERYTHING! I'M ROYALTY, DAMMIT!"
"Well, you happen to suck at checkers. It's no big deal."
"I DON'T SUCK! YOU SUCK! GALICK GUN!" shouted Vegeta as he quickly obliterated Peter.
"Wait. What did that have to do with anything?" Lois asked, having grown used to her husband's overactive imagination.
"I dunno," he answered with a shrug.
"You know, we should really stop doing that," said Stewie, "You know, mentioning some random event that has nothing to do with nothing."
Everyone in the room stand there silent for a moment and then bust out laughing.
"Oh, god I needed that," Brian said, as he wiped a tear from his eye, "Like that'll happen."
Zack looked around the basement and sighed. At least it was relatively well kept. He went over and looked out the window, it was a nice view of the neighborhood. Thankfully their was enough room to put a medium sized bedroom. Now that he actually considered it, the Griffin house was actually quite large compared to the other houses on the block. Must have been a result of that whole Peteroia incident he heard about a year ago. 'Oh God. I'm living with a man who tried to start his own country and invaded America with little to no money, soldiers, or a structured government. I'm trading dealing with one bastard to the next. On the other hand I now have working plumbing and I'll have decent food. I really need to start going back to school or finding a better job. Maybe I can use what I know about electronics and wiring to run some wiring up in here so I can put a TV or something. Maybe T's Uncle can give me some advice on carpentry or something?'
He wondered as suddenly he got a knocked on the attic door/ladder thing. ''Come in!'' he stated as it opened down. Meg came in, bringing a blanket and pillow.
''I'd thought you need this.'' she stated.
''Thank you!'' he replied, gratefully taking the items from you. ''You have no idea how much I appreciate this Meg.''
''No, thank you. Its nice having someone who treats me with compassion.'' she replied.
''You're a nice girl. You don't deserve this. No one deserves this.'' he stated and smiled at her. ''I hope you don't find this rude, but I have to go. I need to pick up some things from my friend T's house and the rest from storage. If you don't want to be stuck here with your family you can come along.'' he suggested.
''Yeah, sure, sounds fun. I love to meet your friend.'' she replied as a smile formed on her face.
Zack set the things down to the side and cracked the window slightly so the stuffy place could air out. He and Meg exited the attic and prepared to get ready to head out.

Naruto found himself stopped as Korra reached out and grabbed his hand. ''Korra...'' he softly stated as the cold wind of the night air caused a cheer to course through him.
''Don't you take its time for you to follow your advice and trust in someone. Trust in me?'' she asked, her eyes focused on his back. ''I want to help, but I don't know how. You have to tell me. I don't, I don't know how to fight something that's no in front of me. You know I'm not all that great at the spiritual stuff, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to try.''
Naruto turned back around to face Korra. He could see it on her face. He could really see how trying to live up to Aang was having an impact on her. How she felt inadequate when it came to helping people. And how he could have been doing his job better and how much he dreaded filling the roll he was literally born to fill because he was afraid of losing himself. ''I really have been an idiot this whole time. The answer's been in front of me the whole time.'' he stated. ''Korra, I'm sorry.'' he stated as he took a stepped forward and pulled her into a hug.
Despite her cheeks burning Korra didn't say anything and returned the hug. When the hug ended they pulled apart slightly and their eyes met. They both slowly began to move forward into what would lead into their first mutual kiss.
