Chapter 4 - Peter's Big News
When Peter returned home later that day, Brian had already neualyzed the knowledge of the suicide note and New Brian's death out of him, and Lois had told him that New Brian was back home. Anyway, it was lunch time, and Peter had delivered the news that he and Quagmire got booked at the New England Music Festival.
"You got booked at the New England Music Festival?" Said Lois. "Oh, my God, Peter, that's amazing. I had no idea you and Quagmire could even sing."
"Now let this be a lesson to you kids," he informed Meg, Chris and Stewie. "If you randomly stumble upon an amazing talent, and then someone important sees it by wild coincidence, great things can happen without any hard work."
"I'm gonna go jump off the roof and see if I can fly!" Chris said, excited.
"That's it, Chris," Peter said, "pursue your dream."
"Wow, it's amazing that you and Glenn can sing and all," Brian said. "Maybe you can send birthday wishes at McDonald's that way."
"Imagine, my Peter, the big singing star," Lois said about her husband. "Don't forget about us squares back at home."
"Don't you worry, Lois," Peter replied. "No one has stronger marriages and more well-adjusted kids than rock stars."
"Chris, get off the roof," New Brian said from outside. "Do you want to hurt yourself?"
"Sorry, New Brian," Chris' voice replied. "I just wanted to see if I could fly."
The music festival had begun, and both Stewie and New Brian were ready for this occasion.
"Oh, New Brian, this is so exciting," Stewie said to the bandana-wearing canine. "You, me and Rupert having a spritzer and some cheese in advance for the performance. I'm just sorry Brian couldn't join us."
"That's okay, guys," Brian said, passing by. "I wouldn't want to do it anyway. This reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me recently. He's a dog, too, by the way. Anyway, he had a friend he'd like to call 'Johnny Chickstuff'."
"And he was called that because he liked girls?" New Brian asked.
"That's what I asked my friend, and he said yes," Brian replied. "His friends got together one day and beat him up with windshield wipers and a grill lid. He couldn't do "chick stuff" anymore after that."
"Because he was beaten up?" Stewie asked.
"Yes," Brian answered. "Johnny wasn't like this friend of mine anyway. He didn't know anything else about Johnny, though. Soon after, a girl from his old block married an African-American guy, and he and his friends paid attention to that."
"Oh, thanks for the knowledge, Brian," New Brian said.
"You're welcome," Brian replied. "Let's watch the two perform."
And with that, all three started watching both Peter and Quagmire perform the song "Pop Tart".
