Chapter 3 - Scott, Todd, and the Garden of Eden


The portal Scott and Todd were sucked into led them to a garden. However, unlike Stewie and Brian in the Life of Brian universe, the two dogs landed on their feet. They began to wander around.

"Where in the world are we, Todd?" Scott asked. "It looks like some sort of garden."

Todd replied, "I guess this must be the place of creation."

"You mean, the Garden of Eden?" Scott asked.

"Yeah," Todd answered. "God told me about this place when I was in Heaven. He said that an unthinkable event caused whom would later be the unholy never to enter here."

"You mean," Scott gulped, "they're banned from the garden?"

"Yep," Todd replied. "And it's all because of that tree."

With that, Todd pointed to a tree in the middle of the garden. It was the tree of knowledge.

"What's that tree got to do with anything?" Scott asked. "It's just a tree. And we're dogs. We pee on trees all the time."

"The fruit of this tree," Todd replied. "Whoever eats the fruit will know right and wrong, and they will be doomed."

"Well," Scott began, "are there any other trees in this garden?"

"Yes," Todd answered, "including the tree of life. Whoever eats the fruit of that tree is given eternal life."

"Hey, look!" Scott pointed. "A woman! And why is she naked?"

"That's Eve," Todd answered. "She's the first woman on Earth."

The woman, Eve, had walked to the tree of knowledge. Her front (including her chest area) was covered with her long, blonde hair.

"Something is calling me to this tree," she thought. "But I know I'm not allowed to eat the fruit of this tree."

A four-legged reptilian creature emerged from the leaves of the tree. It was the Serpent.

"Come closer, Eve," the Serpent ordered in a seductive male voice. "The fruit of this tree will open your eyes, and make you feel like a goddess."

"But Adam ordered me not to eat from this tree," Eve feared as Scott and Todd hid in a bush. "For if I do, and disobey God, I shall die."

"Come now," the Serpent replied. "Do you really believe that nonsense? I've eaten from this tree," the Serpent lied, "and look at me. I'm not dead."

Eve looked closer at the fruit.

"Oh," she awed, "the fruit does look beautiful."

She picked a piece of fruit.

"See?" the Serpent began. "You touched it, and nothing bad happened. Now, taste it."

Eve did what the Serpent ordered. When she did, darkness filled the area for a few seconds.

"Uh-oh," Scott whispered. "This must be the unthinkable event you were talking about."

"Yes," Todd agreed, "but it gets worse."

"Eve, what are you doing?!" a man called, running to her. Like Eve, this man was naked. He could be seen from the bush with his private area being covered by the bush's leaves. This was Adam, the first man on Earth, and Eve's husband. "You know you're not supposed to eat that fruit!"

"But Adam," Eve assured, "look at me. You said I'd die if I eat this fruit, and I'm not dead. Here," she continued as she handed him the fruit. "Take a bite. You'll love it."

With that, Adam took the fruit from Eve's hand gently.

"Well," Adam began, "it looks good."

Adam then took a bite, and again, darkness filled the area. He then gasped.

"Something's not right," he wondered. "I feel...strange."

"Me, too," Eve, ditto. "I feel...naked."

"Yes," Adam agreed. "So do I."

"Uh-oh," Scott feared. "I think I know what's coming next."

As soon as he finished, Brian and Stewie appeared behind him and Todd.

"Brian? Stewie?" Scott and Todd took noticed.

"What are you two doing here?" Todd asked them.

"We've no time to explain," Stewie answered. "We have to gather the others."

"Yes," Brian agreed. "Let's go before God places judgment on the two humans."

With that, Stewie pressed the button on his remote, and all four disappeared from the bush and out of this time.
