Chapter 12: Life or Death?

A/N: This chapter is based on another idea from Golden Sun Dragoon. Most of it is word-for-word his idea, but at the end, I added a little twist to the story. This should be the last chapter. Thanks!

The Griffin family was saddened by the news that Meg soon might die. They decided to visit her once they had recovered from the shock of the news. A few minutes passed, and they finally told the doctor they were ready to see her.

The doctor led the Griffins out of the waiting room and down a series of several very long hallways. He then took them in an elevator, where they went all the way up to the top floor. Then, they walked down another long series of halls, where they went to yet another elevator. This time, they went all the way back down to the ground floor. He then stopped at a door. "Here we are," he said. "Meg Griffin's room." The camera backs to show that it is directly next to the waiting room.

"Hold up, pal. Why did you lead us through all those halls and elevators just to take us to a door right next to the waiting room?" Peter asked.

The doctor walked closely to Peter and whispered, "It gets to be a very boring job here after a while. I have to do something to liven it up." He then opened the door, and the Griffin family entered the room. They found Meg lying in the hospital bed. "So, Mr. Griffin, could you clear something up for me? We have been having trouble determining whether or not Meg is a boy or girl…"

"I'm a freaking girl, damn it!" Meg shouted. She then growled in anger and started crying. The doctor then ran in a hurry, leaving the Griffins alone with Meg. "Hi, everyone," Meg said.

"Meg, why did you run away?" Lois asked.

"I was upset about everyone treating me bad," Meg said with a sad face.

"Oh, Meg, honey, I'm sorry you feel that way," Lois said.

"Look…I just want to say…I'm sorry for running away…and I'm really going to miss you all very much…and –" Meg started to say. However, her eyes sealed shut and she instantly stopped talking. Her head hung off the side of the bed.

The same doctor from earlier came in and looked Meg over. "She's dead," he said.

"All right!" Peter cheered. However, he looked over at Lois, who had started crying. "Oh, I'm sorry, Lois," Peter said. The family stood in the room in sorry for a few moments as the doctor continued to look over Meg. Suddenly, she started sputtering and came back to life.

"It's a miracle!" the doctor said. However, Meg did not seem very happy. She started crying.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Lois asked. "Aren't you glad you're alive again?"

"It was horrible! I went to hell and met Satan. He told me that I was too ugly for hell and decided to send me back!" Meg said in tears.

"It's okay, honey, at least you're back," Peter said.

The Griffins returned home a few days later. Everything was back to normal, but Meg was still sulking in her room upstairs. She felt terrible. She kept crying and didn't think she'd ever stop.

The next day, Meg returned to school in a bad mood. She was just as depressed as she was at home. In her classes, she sat in the back and didn't utter a word.

Things picked up at lunch, however. Meg sat at one of the lonely benches and toyed with her food, hoping that she could get the school day over with. Just then, someone walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to see who it was.

It was a boy whom she thought was somewhat attractive. "Hi," he said. "What's you're name?"

"Meg," she said.

"I'm Eddy," he said, sitting down next to her. "It's a shame you're sitting here all by yourself. How'd you like to go to the next dance with me?"

Meg instantly perked up. "Are you serious?" she said excitedly.

"Sure," Eddy said. "I don't know why anyone hasn't already asked you out." Then, the bell rang. "I'll see you later," Eddy said.

"Bye," Meg said.

Later that day, Meg returned home much happier and jubilant than earlier. She saw Lois in the living room. "Hey, Meg, I see you are in a better mood? How was school?" she asked.

"Great!" Meg said excitedly. "I got a boyfriend!"

"That's wonderful, honey," Lois said.

"I'm going upstairs to call him," Meg said, darting up the stairs to her room. Lois then walked off into the kitchen, where she saw Stewie standing on the table. He grinned broadly and held his large ray gun at Lois. Lois's eyes widened in panic.

"Say goodbye, bitch!" Stewie said. He pulled the trigger of his ray gun. Outside of the Griffin house, a loud zapping sound emitted, followed by a loud shriek. Things were back to normal at the Griffin house.
