Later that evening, Peter barged through the door and saw the kids watching TV. Peter turned off the television and said, "Kids it's time for another bedtime story." The kids groaned in unison. Chris sighed and said, "Dad, we don't like your stories." Peter chuckled to himself. Silence filled the room. Peter thought about the past stories and how it reflected his life.
"I promise tonight will be a good story." Peter said confident.
Brian patted Peter and said, "Maybe later on tonight would be a good time."
The kids nodded. During dinner Peter was writing a few ideas down on paper for his story. Brian looked at Peters story and said, "That's a rip off of 300. Can't you be more creative than that?"
Peter skimmed his story he wrote and made a few changes. Brian looked at the story. Brian said, "Better."
Once it was bedtime Peter pulled out his story and told the kids, "This story takes place in Ancient Rome."
Stewie threw his arms in the air and said, "Damn it! Not a Hercules parody. That's a bigger rip off than 300."
Long ago in Ancient Rome, there was a powerful man named Petcules. He was adored by all of the cities civilians. His major task from Emperor Flabby was to do a death-defying stunt.
"Do you believe you can do this stunt?" he asked.
"I can do anything!" Petcules said as he flexed his muscles.
"RELEASE THE LIONS!" the Emperor yelled.
The audience cheered as the lions came out. Petcules got in his carriage and charged at the lions. The carriage went off the ledge and flew over the lions and landed on the other side.
"Can you dig it?" Petcules said with a triumphant roar.
The audience stood up and applauded. Empress Lois rushed to Petcules and gave him a big hug.
"You were so brave." She said sweetly.
"Not so fast." The Emperor said. "You must tame the lion."
Petcules pulled out his dagger and sliced it into the lion's throat. The audience gasped. Tension filled the arena. The audience cheered.
"Later that day, Petcules and the Empress walked along the beach until a old pedophile showed up on the ground passed out." Brian said intruding Peter's story.
"What the hell?" Peter yelled as he threw his arms in the air.
"Petcules did the right thing and gave him CPR." Brian said with a grin on his face.
"Damn it Brian! That's repulsive." Peter said pissed off.
"All of a sudden it started to rain.' Stewie said.
Peter sighed and said, "There. That's better."
"The elderly pedophile woke up and started to dance." Chris said as he clapped his hands with excitement.
"It was so rainy that Petcules and the Empress hid under the dock.' Brian smiled.
"They were about to kiss until Ben Franklin showed up." Meg said.
Peter interrupted and asked, "Do you think this is funny to you? You guys are making an ass out of yourself. My God the storyline has gone downhill since I started telling the story. It's like the Jaws movies. I mean sure he's a shark but we all know he's robotic."
Everyone ignored Peter and continued the story.
"Once it stopped raining, the Empress showed Petcules his ex girlfriends in her home. Each of them looked at one another and started doing the hokey pokey." Stewie said excited.
"Okay! That's enough! Stories over. Good night. Sleep tight." Peter said as he left the room.
Once Peter and Brian left Stewie whispered, "When Petcules left the Empress home, he got drunk and ended up on the streets. The End."
Early the next morning Peter was at the pier waiting for Lois. Lois approached Peter and gave him a big hug. "Sorry for running late. Daddy wouldn't stop talking about his investments."
Peter chuckled and said, "I never understand what he means when he talks about that. Anyways I was hoping we would go to the beach and do some catching up."
Lois smiled and said, "Let's go."
At the beach Lois and Peter held each other's hands until they noticed Herbert washed up on the beach. Peter and Lois ran over to Herbert and Peter got down on him and gave Herbert CPR. Peter looked up at Lois and asked, "Shouldn't we get out of this rain?"
Lois looked up and asked, "What rain?"
Out of nowhere it began to rain. Herbert stood up and started singing, "Singing in the Rain" as he leaped around the beach. Lois and Peter laughed as they ran under the dock. Peter and Lois almost kissed until a $100 landed on the sand. Peter picked up the $100 and said, "Hey look it's Ben Franklin."
Lois kissed Peter on the cheek and said, "Let's go back to my place. I have a surprise for you."
"Does it have to do with my exes from high school?' Peter asked.
Lois paused and asked, "What the hell do you mean by that?"
Peter shrugged and followed Lois.
