Chapter 4 - A New License and an Old Foe

Around the start of 3:00, Barbara went outside to retrieve the day's mail. To her surprise, in the mail was an envelope for her. After she got inside the kitchen, she opened the envelope addressed to her, and with a beaming smile on her face, she saw that inside the card was...

"A new driver's licence?" She held the license in her left front paw. "I guess this means I've passed my driver's test! Oh, wait until Brian hears the good news!"

Just then, the doorbell rang. Barbara went and opened the front door. She was surprised and horrified to see who it was.

"Arnie?" she gasped.

The pit bull Barbara lost to in the dog fighting organization wore a neck tie and held some petunias. His smile gave way to a look of sudden surprise.

"Barbara?" he addressed. "What are you doing here? I assumed after our fight that you had passed on."

"Well, I was saved later that night," Barbara glared. "My savior was so nice to me, he proposed to me, I married him and started a family."

"Oh, hey, Arnie," Briana greeted, coming downstairs and getting Barbara's attention. "You're early than I expected."

"Briana, what's going on here?" Barbara asked her daughter.

"Hey, Mom," Briana replied. "I see you've met my boyfriend, Arnie."

"Boyfriend?!" Barbara repeated.

"That's right, Barbara," Arnie answered. "Briana saved my life when a wolf attacked me a few weeks ago. I had no idea that she's your daughter."

Pause.

"Wait a moment," Barbara suddenly said to Arnie before closing the door and whispering into Briana's ear. "Briana, what the hell? That dog fought me in the dog fighting organization that jerk ran."

Another pause.

"So?" Briana replied.

"He's the big and ferocious dog I told you about."

"Mom," Briana shrugged, "Arnie doesn't look so ferocious to me. Besides, we're going on a date."

"Like hell, you two are," Barbara growled.

"Ah, young love," Stewie noticed, getting their attention. "I can sense that it's like you and Brian during your love-at-first-sight all over again."

"See, Mom?" Briana added. "Stewie agrees with me. Just give Arnie a chance so we can go on our date."

Barbara thought hard about this. Should she give Arnie a piece of her mind as her rematch with him, or should she let her oldest daughter go out with an enemy?

"Very well," Barbara sighed. "But be home before curfew, okay?"

"We will, Mom," Briana replied. "After all, it is the least I could do for giving him a job."

Barbara opened the door and allowed Briana to go out with Arnie. She was unsure about this, though.

"Don't worry, Barbara," Arnie assured. "I'm a changed dog now. Dog fights are yesterday's news."

The two dogs got into a white Escalade Arnie drove, which pulled out of the driveway.

"Aside from all of Brian's exes," Barbara began, "meeting Arnie again and having my oldest go on a date with him is something I didn't expect, either. I may have to postpone our dinner date."

Just then, her phone dinged. It was a Twitter notification.

"It's from my pen pal, pu55yh0und_1124," she began. "He tweeted that he's been reunited with his older brother after seven years. #FamilyReunion." She wondered, then. "Huh."
