Remembering a Friend

by LDEJRuff

Chapter 5 - A Happy Reunion?


The next day, Vinny showed Scott around the neighborhood. He first took Scott to Cleveland Brown's house, and Scott had made friends with Cleveland and his wife, Donna, his son, Cleveland, Jr., and his step-children, Roberta and Rollo. Vinny then took Scott to the Swanson house, and Scott had made friends with Joe, Bonnie, Kevin and Susie. Then, Vinny took Scott to meet Peter's other next-door neighbor, Glenn Quagmire. There, Scott had not only made friends with Glenn, but he also learned some tips from him on how to get women.

"Wow, Vinny," Scott said. "Thanks for taking me to meet the neighbors. They're really swell."

"Glad you like 'em, Scott," Vinny replied. "Wait'll I show you the rest of the friends the Griffins have made."

"I sure hope they're more fun than that cat I befriended," Scott said.

Cutaway: We see Scott next to a Calico cat.

"Gee, Cal," Scott said. "It sure is nice that we can be friends and all."

"Well, Scott," Cal replied, "there are some things I can do to improve our friendship, and some things I can't."

"Really?" Scott said. "What kind of things?"

"I'll show you sometime."


Later that night, while Scott was sleeping in the living room, and Stewie and Vinny were sleeping in the former's bedroom, they heard a sound coming into the driveway. They looked out the specific windows and saw a familiar silver-colored vehicle on the driveway. And who they saw coming out of the driver's side door made them gasp in surprise, smiling.

"Oh, my god," Stewie said. "He's back!"

"I can't believe it," Vinny added. "He's finally home!"

"All right," Scott said. "At last, I get the chance to meet him!"

Stewie and Vinny had informed the rest of the family about what they saw, and the six ran down the stairs to the living room where Scott was. The door opened to show that Brian had returned. However, there was something different about him: his fur was scruffy, he had grown a goatee, and he didn't have his collar on. That didn't matter to the family, though. Vinny had rushed to Brian, giving him a hug.

"Welcome home, Brian!" he said.

Brian, however, was confused.

"I'm sorry," he replied, "do I know you?"

"Do you know me?" Vinny repeated. "Are you kidding? Of course, you know me. It's me, Vinny, your friend."

"Vinny?" Brian repeated. "Sorry, that doesn't ring a bell."

"Huh?" Vinny asked. "What's going on here?"

"Brian doesn't remember Vinny?" Peter added.

"Uh, guys?" Scott began. "I think we have a problem."

Brian had scratched his head, wondering, "Who are you guys?"
