Chapter 1: New Beginnings From a Unaverage Life Part 1.
It is a crisp autumn morning and there is a moving van outside the Griffin home.
Chris Griffin and another person come out loading boxes into the van.
"Hey, I'd like to thank you again for helping me move my stuff to our new apartment, Menthis." Says Chris, stepping back onto the curb.
"No problem man, after all it is the least I could do. You were kind enough to invite me to live with you," replies Menthis, wiping the sweat from his upper brow.
(Chris and Menthis walk back towards the house. Lois comes up and gives Chris a big hug.)
"What was that for mom?" asks Chris, blushing with embarrassment.
"I'm just sad to see my baby go, you are growing up so fast!" replies Lois, stepping back from her embrace of Chris with a smile and teary eyed.
"It'll be ok mom, it's not like I'm never going to visit, " says Chris.
"I know but with you leaving, Stewie off in Europe, and Meg having left ages ago the nest really is finally empty. And I-I-I just don't know what I'll do with myself now!" sobs Lois, and begins crying uncontrollably.
Peter walks up and moves her out of the way. "Lois, you can go do your emotional bitch crying somewhere else. My boy Chris is finally a man! And he doesn't need that nonsense!" exclaims Peter with pride.
"Well thanks dad, " replies Chris bashfully.
"Don't you think that was kind of harsh?" Chimes in Menthis; concerned for Lois.
"Thank you Menthis" says Lois sharply, a little angry by what Peter did.
"Oh don't worry about it, she'll be fine." responds Peter, brushing off Lois's comment.
"Hmph" mutters Lois, walking away in a huff.
"Well...I guess it's time for me to get going." says Chris.
Peter gives him a hug and says, "I'm gonna miss you Chris, make something of yourself and make me proud."
"I will dad, I will." With a tear in his eye, "Bye Mom."
(Lois looks at him and smiles weakly.)
"See ya Mr. and Mrs. G!" says Menthis, enthusiastically waving and getting in the van.
Music begins to play as they drive away.
I just became a member of a club known as the bumbling fools.
Botching the game and the best things in life is the motto and the rule.
So if you can open up your heart and hear me out just for tonight.
Baby I got something to prove to you
I've gotta show you I can do it right.
Get out!
Don't want to see you again.
Maybe we can still be friends.
I know that I'm gonna go and screw it up in the end.
But that's okay cause I'm your average man!
The title appears saying.
Average Chris Redux: The OC Universe Edition.
Chris and Menthis are driving by old Mr. Herbert's house when Chris stops the van and sighs looking at the house, "I really can't believe he's gone" says Chris, with a bit of sadness in his voice.
"I know man, I know" says Menthis, looking at the house also.
"Mind if we get out for a bit?" Chris asks.
"Sure, I really have no place else to be, " Menthis answers nonchalantly.
They both get out of the van and walk towards the house. The door opens suddenly, startling them, and a girl walks out.
"Chris? Wow, Chris is that you?" asks the girl in surprise.
"Wait...Sandy?!" Chris exclaims, surprised to see Sandy standing there.
"Huh? Who's Sandy?" asks Menthis, confused by who this girl is.
"Oh right, you guys have never actually met. This is Sandy, Mr. Herbert's grand niece. Sandy this is Menthis." says Chris, introducing the two.
"Hi." says Sandy waving slightly.
"I'm sorry about your uncle." Says Chris.
"No worries I'm sure he's in a better place." replies Sandy.
Cutaway.
(Herbert is at the front desk at the lobby in heaven.)
"What do you mean I had to die holding a god damn towel?!" exclaims Herbert in frustration.
"I'm sorry but those are the rules." grumbles the manager, disgusted with Herbert's words.
Suddenly two little boys run by in swimsuits towards the pool.
"Jackpot!" says Herbert, then looks at the manager and says, "I'll deal with you later."
"We're going to have too keep an eye on him." whispers the manager to himself, watching Herbert walk away towards the pool.
End Cutaway.
"Well I hope you guys can make it too the funeral on Saturday." says Sandy hopefully.
"Don't worry. We will." replies Chris, turning to walk away with Menthis.
"And Chris..." says Sandy after him.
"Yeah?" asks Chris, turning around.
"It was good seeing you again." Sandy says with a heartfelt smile.
"Same too you." replies Chris, smiling back at her getting in the van with Menthis and driving off down the road.
