Chapter 6: Back in Quahog

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Peter was on the sofa drinking beer, Lois was dusting the furniture, Chris played video games in his room, Brian was on the computer watching televised news clips of Tom and Diane on Quahog 5, and Stewie was in his crib sleeping.

Peter sipped his Pawtucket beer and sighed, "Ah…life is good."

Lois entered the room. "Enjoying yourself, Peter?"

"Oh yeah, Lois. Things have suddenly got a lot more interesting around here since last month," Peter said.

"Peter…I kind of feel bad about what happened…" Lois said.

"Ah! Ah!" Peter said. "Let a man drink his beer in peace, will ya, Lois?"

"But Peter…I feel bad for Meg. I mean, you really trashed her. You actually made her eat outside, and then threw her out in the rain. You're a pretty horrible father, Peter. I can't believe you'd treat her that way!"

Peter gulped down more of his beer. "Who's Meg, Lois? I don't remember any Meg. Man, I haven't felt this happy in years!"

Lois said, "We don't even know where she is. She could be dead now for all we know!"

"Yay!" Peter exclaimed. Lois slapped Peter. "Hey, I know," Peter said, not taking the message. "Let's turn Meg's old room into an arcade!" He then rushed upstairs and threw all of Meg's old things out of the window. "Heheheheheheheheheheh…bye, garbage," Peter said. He then rushed to the basement and hauled a pool table into Meg's room. He then went back and forth between Meg's old room and the basement, and soon enough, there was a game room equipped with a pool table, an air hockey table, and a PS3. "Something's missing, though…" Peter said. He looked around the room and saw the pink walls and the lacy curtains. "The girl stuff has to go," he said. He took down the lace curtains and threw them out the window. He then painted the room black. The room looked like an official arcade!

"Peter, you can't just turn her room into an arcade. We don't know for sure if she's dead or not," Lois said.

"She's dead, Lois," Peter hushed, "now leave me alone." He went to his PS3 and started playing.

"Fine, but if you won't look for her, I will," Lois said. She went downstairs, leaving Peter alone in the arcade.

Peter was silent for a few moments. He didn't utter a word. "Man…I feel really guilty right now." There was another long silence. "I should have remembered to get some neon lights for this room while I was still in the basement! Darn it!" Peter paused his game and went to the basement to get the neon lights.
