Okay, all! With the three reviews this story got, one of them said to kill Connie, but the other two said to let her live, give her one last chance and become friends with Meg. So that's what's going to happen in this chapter which also concludes this story! We saw Meg beat the fucking shit out of Connie in the previous chapter, using first her fists and feet and then a baseball bat(the very same one her fuckhole father Peter once hit her with, in fact), and Connie begged Meg to give her one final chance to prove that she can turn over a new leaf and they can be friends, after all. Meg couldn't believe what she was hearing, but Connie was able to squeeze out that she was in no position to do anything but be honest and hope to God that Meg would grant her mercy and one last chance for her to capitalize on. Now, as a result of the votes that were given through the reviews for this fic, we will see how Meg responds to Connie's words of beseeching and what it all leads to here. Read away to see it for yourselves!

THINGS TO NOTE:

I own none of the characters. They all belong to Family Guy. And I don't own the "Batman: A Death In The Family" storyline that was the inspiration for this fanfic, either, for that belongs to DC Comics.

Chapter 2-From Foes To Friends

Meg eventually made up her mind and as such made her decision after giving things a lot of thought and considering all the facts while taking what would be her best bet into account and why it was wisest to do what she would in the end decide to do.

Following this, she looked at the battered, bruised and bloody Connie directly in the eyes, then told her: "Connie D'Amico, you've put me through a lot over the years, and I've got lots to hate you for and every reason to fucking finish you the fuck off."

Connie hung her head and said sadly: "I know, and I'm so sorry for how piss-poorly I treated you and every other lousy, rotten, no-good fucking thing that I goddamn did. But do I get a chance to turn things around and clean up my act? I really want to, and I really want to show you and everyone else a different side to me. Honestly. Please."

"And, though God only knows how, I can sense your sincerity, somehow." Meg told her. "As such, I will grant you one final opportunity to be a better person and a friend to me. But only one, so don't take it lightly or for granted." "I don't intend to…" Connie let out through a haze of blood, dizziness and pain.

Meg sighed and said: "I can't believe I'm doing this, but I guess hearing what I have from you, pummeling you like I just did and making everyone around me scared shitless, to pieces and to death of me has put me in a generous mood."

She dropped the bat, bent over and extended her hand to Connie, saying: "Grab my hand, ex-foe and new friend. I'll help you up." Connie nodded and took hold of Meg's hand. Then Meg pulled her up, gently, due to Connie's numerous injuries, and soon Connie stood up once again.

"Thanks, Meg. I'm so glad you made this decision. I'll make sure you don't regret it." said Connie. "You're welcome, but I expect that exactly what you've said you'll do will be done." Meg responded. All of a sudden, they saw a police car coming over to the school.

Out of it came Joe Swanson, and he said: "Hello, girls. I was driving by this school just now, by chance, but when I saw that you, Connie, were in a horrible, beaten up state and a bloody mess, and you, Meg, were holding a baseball bat that you'd clearly beaten her with, I knew I had to pull over."

He looked to Meg and said: "As well as charge you with assault. I'm sorry, Miss Griffin, but I'm not left with any choice. First trying to help that escaped convict and now this. Why must you do this, Meg? You're the daughter of one of my best friends, for Christ's sake!"

"No, wait! It isn't her fault!" Connie cried out. Joe opened his eyes widely and said: "What? What the hell are you talking about, Miss D'Amico?" Connie then told a white lie that she was sure would ensure Meg wouldn't be arrested or filed any charges against.

"You see, officer," Connie explained, "the reason that Meg beat upon me with that bat is because she was by herself at the time, and she mistook me for a rapist who was sneaking up on her when I came across her."

"Really?" Joe asked, and Meg then heard Connie said: "Yes, it's true. And, for quite a while, Meg could only focus on protecting herself. She happened to have her baseball bat with her at the time, so she put it to use along with her fists and feet. It took her quite a bit of time to snap out of the state of defending herself and realize that it wasn't a rapist, but just me, who was coming by her."

Meg backed up Connie's white lie by saying: "It's true, officer. I'm really sorry and I've apologized to Connie and helped her up and everything. She's even accepted my apology and, the instant I could clearly tell it was her and not a rapist, I stopped beating on her. And now I've dropped the bat, too."

Joe sighed and bought their white lie, and it was guaranteed that it would stay that way due to the fact that, after having seen what happened and realizing the smartest thing to do was to be nice to Meg and go along with her and Connie's white lie, everyone else began nodding.

So when Joe looked about just to be sure, seeing everyone around him, in or out of the school, nodding as a result of that, he turned back to the girls and said: "Okay, I understand. I am sorry for almost giving you criminal charges for crimes you didn't commit, Meg. However, since you, Connie, are in horrible shape right now, I need to take you to the hospital."

Connie nodded and walked over to Joe's car as he opened the front door to it. Connie climbed in and Joe wheeled himself over to the other front door, opening it and wheeling on in to his driver's seat. Then he closed the door while Connie closed the door to the side of her.

Following this, Joe drove Connie to the hospital for treatment, and since it was now over, given what had been made clear and happened because of it, everyone knew that it was high time to go home, Meg included. So Meg went over and picked up her bat, then she got on the bus with everyone else who rode it.

Everyone who didn't ride the bus to their respective homes got home by their own means, and when Meg got back home, she told her family all about what had happened at school today, although in the form of making it so that she told them the same white lie that she and Connie had told Joe, as so not to blow their secret.

They were glad to hear that Meg had not been arrested, and that Connie would recover in due time, plus Meg was finally friends with the one who used to be her archenemy. Of course, Connie's family soon found out what had happened, as well, thanks to a call from Joe, and although they were nothing short of relieved that Connie was alive and would be okay, they all were glad to hear that Meg only attacked her because she believed her to be a rapist.

Or at least they and Joe thought that was the truth like everyone else but Meg and Connie and the ones who'd witnessed the vicious beating but not wanted to risk Meg's wrath in the future did, but they all kept the secret and white lie as it was, because that was what was best to do and the ideal way to leave well enough alone.

In any event, after a few days, Connie had recovered from her injuries completely and was let out of the hospital, reuniting with her family and only too happy to be back with them and vice versa.

And in the weeks that would follow, Meg and Connie became close friends, in stark contrast to their previous relationship, and not only did Connie show that she was more than sincere in having learned her lesson and turned over a new leaf, but you know what else?

Connie made it so that Meg not only became just as popular as she was, but also so that everyone in James Woods Regional High School was able to see in Meg what they weren't able to see in her before now.

Meg had a simply wonderful life, both at school and at home, from then on, both for this reason and for a great many others, and I can also assure you that Connie, besides being nicer to Meg and living up to her promise, was also a much nicer person in general.

Yeah, she was still beautiful and had the same friends and/or admirers that she did before, but she was now a far cry from the uppity bitch she used to be, just like Meg no longer got unfairly treated like trash by anyone, schoolmates, family or otherwise.

And just as Connie was glad that she'd gotten the chance to make up for the way she'd acted in the past and had made the most of it, Meg was glad that Connie had proven her to have made a wise choice in deciding to spare her life and give her a last chance to right her wrongs.

Things were quite excellent for both girls, but especially Meg, for all time thanks to all I have just mentioned, and especially since the truth that would shatter the cover of the white lie told to make things happening as they did possible was never revealed, and that was for the best, really. And hey, with how things were now and would remain, one would never guess they were as they had been prior to Meg giving Connie a well deserved beatdown.

Especially since part of what made things as they were now consisted of how Meg's making friends with Connie after proving how capable she was of defending herself and fighting hard like an ace caused the members of her family who previously treated her like shit, namely Peter, Lois, Chris and Stewie, to grow a newfound respect for her and admire her greatly. Life just couldn't get any better for Meg, and just as this would never change, she wouldn't have it any other way. It was like she'd left hell and entered heaven.

THE END

So tell me, how was this for a second and concluding chapter for you? Was it enjoyable to see Connie finally clean up her act, turn over a new leaf and become friends with Meg? Isn't it just wonderful that Meg is finally popular, getting her way and treated the way she should have been but never was before thanks to the scummy creators of Family Guy who, quite frankly, are actually just a bunch of piss-poor excuses for creators? I hope that you liked reading about this, and especially you two reviewers who made it so that letting Connie live and become a better person along with Meg's friend was the winner over the lethal, dark alternative by the marginal, narrow, edging out number of two to one. Please rate and review, everyone, especially you Meg fans!
