Chapter 6B - The White Rose
Back in Reality B, after an hour of traversing through the forest and climbing a waterfall, the Griffins, the first and third litters, and Torrent have finally reached a bush where the White Thorny Rose grew.
"Well," Jenny began, "we came this far."
Torrent nodded in agreement. "If this rose is as pretty as Madame Claude says it is then..."
"Wait!"
Glenn had finally caught up to them. They were less than thrilled to see him.
"What do you want?" Peter crossed his arms.
"I realized then how foolish I was to hate your dogs," Glenn replied. "If I don't do this soon, I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life."
"Why do you care, Glenn?" Brian asked, also crossing his arms.
"Because...I know that you and Barbara died."
Brian and Barbara widened their eyes. "What?"
Glenn lectured, "Death had just come to me, and had given me a couple visions of the past. One about how you died when you were run over by that car, Brian, and one how Barbara died of a heart attack after fighting Vinny and yelling at me. Death then also told me that Jesus had wiped my memories of how you two died. After witnessing those horrible events when he took me back in time, I was so horrified. So, the reason why I came to you guys is, well, I'm sorry, and...I forgive you two."
"You...you forgive us?" Brian repeated. "Even through all I've gone through?"
"And through my past behaviors?" Barbara added.
"Yes," Glenn answered, forming tears in his eyes. "And the truth is, deep down, I've been a dog hater all my life. But after seeing how you've died, I need to learn how to stop hating dogs and start showing sympathy for them. So please, can you give me a chance?"
A moment of silence. Afterwhich, Brian responded, emotionally touched, "Oh, Glenn. That was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard from you. Okay, Glenn. We'll give you one more chance."
Barbara, the first and third litters, Torrent and the rest of the Griffin family couldn't help but smile at him. Glenn smiled back, now knowing that he has once again gained a friend in Brian, and for the first time, a friend in Barbara and the puppies.
"Thank you, Brian," he said. "And your secret is safe with me."
"It's great that we're now friends again, Glenn," Lois said. "And the first act of our renewed friendship would be to pick one of these White Thorny Roses for us. The rose species itself is in near extinction."
"Sure, Lois," Glenn shrugged, "anything for you guys."
Glenn walked closer to the bush, but froze for a few seconds after seeing a vision of Reality A. Afterwards, he shook his head, got back to his senses, and picked a white rose.
"If we don't put it in fresh soil soon, the rose could spoil," Marcus said.
"Then we've no time to lose," Glenn agreed. "Let's put this rose in a pot!"
"Yeah," Jenny added, "and help me and Torrent become parents."
And, after Glenn agreed to return to Quahog with the Griffins, the first thing on our groups' minds were to head to the Graveyard to help Jenny and Torrent.
