Extended Scene 8 - Second Chance (Secret Life Cut)

Both Stewie and Clone Brian were near the open front door of the house. Clone Brian was relieved then. Stewie was still unaware that the Brian he was talking to, and that he just saved, was just a clone.

"Wow, Stewie," Clone Brian whispered. "Thank you for saving my life. You know, a lot of other families would've just gotten a different dog and moved on."

"Oh," Stewie began, rather guilty, "oh, we could...we could never do something like that, Brian."

Just then, Stewie started to fade away.

"Stewie," Clone Brian began, noticing, "wh...what's happening to you?"

Stewie began to notice, and suddenly realized.

"I think," he began, "my timeline is being erased. The timeline where you died no longer exists. Exists. Exists." He fake echoed those last two "exists" after he was completely out of sight.

"Stewie!" Clone Brian called.

The baby suddenly then reappeared, but still transparent.

"I just did that for effect," he joked. "There's no science reason for the echo. I...I just wanted to go out on a joke." He accepted his fate then. "Merry Christmas, Brian." With that, he faded out of existence.

Before the other Stewie, which would be the main Stewie this story's talking about later, would go outside, time had suddenly stopped, except Clone Brian's sense of time did not.

"Wh...what?" Clone Brian noticed.

"Hey there, clone me," Brian greeted, coming in with New Brian and Vinny, and getting the clone's attention. New Brian had carried Death's scythe.

"Brian?" Clone Brian said, puzzled. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Dylan?"

"I was with Dylan," Brian answered. "I had to go through several months taking care of him. Tracy was in a coma as a result of a car accident that claimed Vinny's owner's life."

"Vinny?" Clone Brian repeated. "Is that why he and New Brian are with you?"

"Yeah," Vinny answered.

"Wait, what's New Brian doing here? Isn't he supposed to be dead?"

"I am dead, Clone Brian," New Brian answered. "But Death has let me live for a few minutes to give you all a second chance. And yours, Clone Brian, is to prevent that accident so Vinny won't have to lose Leo again."

"You mean," Vinny began, "I can get to spend all those months again to be with my previous owner?"

"And I can get to spend all those months again to be with the Griffins?" Brian added.

"Yup," New Brian answered.

"Well," Clone Brian sighed, smiling sadly, "if that's going to be my destiny, then so be it. Here," he continued, handing his original counterpart the hockey helmet. "I think you're going to need this more than I do, original me."

Brian chuckled. "Thanks." With that, he put the helmet on.

"Well, time's a wasting," New Brian said. "Don't you want to say goodbye to Vinny, Brian?"

"Yeah," Brian replied. Turning to his little brother, he continued, "Vinny, I don't know how to tell you this, but thank you for taking good care of the Griffins for me."

"And thank you for giving me a home when I had no home to go to, Brian," Vinny replied.

Both brothers gave each other a hug.

"You take good care of yourself, Vin," Brian whispered. "I hope we can see each other again sometime. Merry Christmas, little brother."

"Merry Christmas to you, B," Vinny replied. "Goodbye, big brother. Welcome home."

With that, both Brian and Vinny then let go of each other. New Brian looked behind himself and saw the time-frozen Stewie, who carried another hockey stick, narrowing his eyes then.

"Stewie," he thought, "you are still going to pay for what you did to me, though. You shouldn't have used my credit card info to buy that iPhone."

New Brian then tapped the scythe to the ground, and in a flash, he, Clone Brian and Vinny vanished, leaving the small camera, which was left on Clone Brian's nose, behind. Time then resumed, and Stewie saw Brian on the walkway, unaware of what was going on.

"Hey, who were you talking to out here?" Stewie asked.

Brian had a little time to think. A second later, he answered, with a smile on his face, "A pretty awesome guy."

"Oh, 'pretty awesome guy,'" Stewie repeated, walking to his canine friend. "Why don't you marry him, huh?" Stewie then placed an end of the stick under Brian. "All right, game on!"

With that, Stewie raised the end up and rammed it into Brian's groin. The dog then writhed in pain. Stewie then emulated a cheering crowd and ran around Brian.

"Stew-S-A! Stew-S-A! Stew-S-A!"

Rather smiling, Brian thought to himself, despite the pain, "Oh, it's good to be home. I wonder what's going to happen with Justin's Benz."
