Chapter 11 - A New Friend
Chapter written by LDEJRuff
Later that night, Barbara and Vinny were sitting on the couch together. However, the puppies glared at the two of them. They couldn't believe that their mother was friends with someone they hated.
"Come on, kids," Barbara shrugged. "Don't look at him like that."
"Bad old Vinny's a bad fit," Marcus said, crossing his arms, "like a crocodile in an alligator rally."
Cutaway: We're at a gymnasium where a group of mostly alligators were sitting on a bench, while the one of them who was not an alligator was a crocodile.
"Yeah," the head gator said holding a microphone, "lurking in the water with our eyes poking out!"
"Yeah!" the bleacher gators shouted in agreement.
"Sneaking up on a crane or an egret and snapping our jaws on it!"
"Yeah!" the bleacher gators shouted.
"And sometimes walking out on to a dry plane or dusty field because it's nice to get out of the swamp now and then!" the crocodile shouted.
The gators started to agree at first, but began to have second thoughts.
"Dry plane? Dusty field? Nice to get out of the swamp?" the crocodile repeated, shrugging.
"What a croc!" said a bleacher gator.
We cut to a host sitting on a chair in his living room.
"And that is the origin of the term," said the host.
Editor's note: Yeah, this cutaway gag is a combination of the gator gag from FG0705 - "The Man with Two Brians" and the segment, "Beavers: A**holes of the Forest", from Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy, another show by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. That's right, it's a callback to Cavalcade.
Back to the living room. Lois was holding a sleeping Stewie when she came out of the kitchen.
"Boy," she began, "I can't remember the last time Stewie fell asleep this early."
Barbara chuckled. "Well, I think he had a long day."
"You seem to be in a better mood, Barbara," Lois noticed. "I sure wish I could say the same for your puppies."
Barbara nodded in agreement. "They don't seem to like Vinny very much, like I do right now."
"Well, I'll take the kids to bed anyway," Lois said. "I suggest you two should do the same."
"You know, actually, Lois," Vinny began, "I think I'm gonna sleep in the living room with Barbara tonight. We seem to understand each other now."
With that, Barbara held Vinny's paw, smiling at her new friend.
"Oh," Lois replied, "well, isn't that nice. Sleep tight, you two." With that, Lois carried Stewie up to his room, while the puppies followed her, still glaring at Vinny.
"So, you want me to make some popcorn, Vin?" Barbara requested.
"Yes, please," Vinny replied.
From up above in Heaven, Brian watched in content as Barbara has made a new friend in Vinny. The second litter was watching as well, holding their father's paws.
"You take good care of her, Vinny," Brian said. "She's going to need it. And Barbara, you take care of our first litter while I take care of the second."
Down below in Hell, New Brian glared crossly.
"Oh, great," he said. "The Griffins lose Brian but gain another dog? Hmph, good luck with living with Stewie, Vinny. Hope you don't hump Rupert like I did, and look where it got me."
Satan suddenly appeared and turned on the vacuum cleaner, tormenting the kerchiefed dog. All he could do in response was bark in fear.
To Be Continued...
Editor's note: Well, Barbara has gained a new friend in Vinny, but the puppies are going to struggle to move on. Some of part two of the reboot will contain elements of "Memories", part two in VBG's saga. However, most of the plot will be different. How will the puppies fair with Vinny in the household? Find out in part two of the reboot, "Give Peace a Chance". Anyway, thank you for reading this fanfic. I hope all of you enjoyed this new ending for it, which Brian4Life also suggested. Special thanks to Villains' Bad Girl for creating the following characters: Barbara, Briana, Ollie, Jenny and Marcus.
