Ladies' Luck

Chapter 3

The next day, Meg was home alone. The Griffins were gone away for the weekend. The guys were visiting Peter's mother, while Lois was visiting the Swansons' for the night. She was spending extra time with Bonnie after it was revealed that Bonnie's pregnancy was due to last for up to 9 years (instead of the biologically correct 9 months)! Meg walked downstairs as she was headed to the kitchen. Just then, a giant piano fell down the banister! Meg managed to lift up the piano, just straining to keep it from felling on her. She then sneezed, and the piano smashed her. Meg was trapped under the piano. Her head was sticking out the bottom of the piano, right under the keyboard. It turned out that the fallen piano was a trap set in advance by Stewie, in his never-ending attempts to kill Lois. She tried calling for help. No one answered. Meg tried screaming as loud as should could, but still nobody heard her. She was all alone.

Two hours later, the doorbell rang. Nobody answered, so the person just opened the door and walked right in. It was Connie. She came to talk to Meg about tattling on her the other day. Just then, she noticed Meg lying under the piano. Connie started taunting her. Meg desperately begged Connie to help her. Connie, seeing what a pathetic position Meg was in, told her that she would never, ever become popular, not in her entire lifetime. Meg pleaded to Connie to make her popular. Connie walked up to her, and took off her sandals. She placed her right foot on Meg's face, during which she repeated to Meg how she was doomed to be a loser forever. Connie continued rubbing her foot on Meg's face, hoping she would get the message. Meg weakly surrendered to her degree. Connie then lied down on the floor, and placed both of her feet on Meg's head, using it as a foot stool. Connie used Meg's head as a foot stool all day and thru the night.

The next morning, Connie got up to use the bathroom. During the time she was in the bathroom, Lois came home from the Swansons' house. At first, she didn't notice Meg under the piano. Meg called for her. Lois then noticed Meg under the piano. Meg explained how a piano fell out of nowhere, and how Connie came in and had been abusing her while she was alone. Lois sighed, and just calmly told Meg that she couldn't do anything to help her. She was totally convinced that Connie was a sweet little angel. Just then, Connie came out of the bathroom, she was still out of her sandals. She said "hi" to Lois. Lois started to ask how/why Meg was trapped under the piano. Connie quickly escaped trouble by telling Lois instead why she was visiting. She claimed that she was dying to hear some of Lois' "heavenly music". She had a very powerful way of flattering people. Lois was easily won over, and offered to play her some songs. Meg screamed in disbelief. No one paid any attention to her. Lois told Connie to grab a piano stool. She then took off her own shoes. After Connie grabbed a stool, they both took a seat. Lois put her sweaty feet on Meg's head to relax them. As she started to play music, she tapped her feet on Meg's head to the rhythm, much to Meg's discomfort. Lois played a long selection of songs for almost three hours, as she and Connie sang along.

Later that day, Lois and Connie were still sitting on the stool, but just to relax. Lois still had her feet on Meg's head, as she was also using her head as a foot rest. Connie started to say how much she loved Lois. Lois put her hand on Connie's shoulder, and declared her to be her new daughter. Meg screamed again is disbelief, but Lois hushed her by putting her feet over her mouth. Connie claimed that her real parents were planning to put her up for adoption anyway; they grew weary of being bullied by a selfish daughter. Lois and Connie then decided to have a mother-daughter slumber party. From then on, Connie was the new daughter of the Griffin family, while Meg was out of the family.

That night, after they got into their pajamas, Lois placed a smaller TV and a VCR/DVD on the piano's keyboard, and they were able to watch TV by the piano. They sat on the ground near where Meg's head was. Again, Lois used Meg's head as a footstool. Lois and Connie watched movies for most of the night, while munching on popcorn and Doritos and drinking pop. All the while, Meg had the displeasure of looking up her ex-mom's nightgown.

The next day, they moved the TV and VCR/DVD off of the piano keyboard. They were playing more tunes for a while, as Lois kept up with the rhythm by patting her feet on Meg's head. After a while, they stayed on the stool to relax. That came to be their new relaxing spot. Connie was then telling stories of all of the embarrassing things Meg did at school. Each story got a bigger laugh out of Lois. Each time she laughed, she would pat her feet on Meg's head. Meg remained mute the whole, as there seemed to be no hope for her. She then remembered the fortune she got from the gypsy a few days ago. At the time, the gypsy was being arrested for consumer fraud. The police questioned her on who was the last person she used her magic on. They gypsy explained how it was a young girl, wearing a fuchsia head cap. But suddenly, she remembered the fortune she used on Meg, and it turned out that she used the magic in reverse. Instead of Meg receiving eternal good luck and Connie eternal bad luck, it was the other way around. The gypsy was hauled off in a paddy wagon for question from the FBI. Back at home, Connie was finishing up her stories. Lois laughed, patting Meg on the head with her feet numerous times. Connie told Lois that she loved her, even calling her "mommy". Lois said that she loved her "baby girl" too. They side-hugged each other, as Lois wiggled her toes on Meg's head. Meg just sulked, as all hope had been gone for her.

And so, Meg's fate was sealed. It turned out that her visit to the gypsy set a reverse spell on her destiny. This was a lesson to her how not to resort to fortune telling advice, no matter how much she wanted to be popular. Now, Lois and Connie spent as much time together as possible. Some of it was spent with Bonnie, was she was settling in for a near-permanent pregnancy. At home, the Griffins continued life as usual, except without Meg. Lois and Connie spent most of their time at the piano with their shoes off. Meg, however, spent the rest of her days as Lois' personal footstool.
