Meg & Eddie:Logismoi Ch3. Tough Love, Lovin' Tough.
(As Eddie's subconsciousness begins to ascend to the other world you see a brief glance of a Shadow Person standing in the corner of his apartment watching him seemingly able to see Eddie's subconscious self float up then it disappears as soon as Eddie's subconsciousness does.)
Gasp* Eddie gets up sputtering and coughing and stumbles his way to the bathroom and begins splashing water on his face, heading back out into the sleeping area of the room he sees everyone there dead to the world so he gets dressed then heads out the door and heads towards a lamppost leaning on it and pulling a cigarette pack out of his pocket and sparks one up.
"That ain't good for you." Says a Voice.
Eddie turns to see Stewie walking towards him, "What are you doing here?" He asks.
"I was helping Meg just hadn't left yet, you okay? Meg told me about your sleeping problem." Replies Stewie pulling out a vape and hitting it.
"You look like a douche doing those." Remarks Eddie looking at Stewie pull on his vape.
"Funny, I thought Meg wanted you to quit those cancer sticks." Replies Stewie smugly.
"Yeah, well I'm stressed, sorry…" Replies Eddie finishing half the cigarette and stomping it out and turning to walk away.
"I can help you if you want me to, Meg told me about the other world." Says Stewie as Eddie begins to walk away.
"Thanks, but I'm not sure you could help me with this dream, or should I say nightmare? Either way it's barely been two days and I'm losing it. I've lost a lot and I-I just want it to stop, but I'm not even sure on how to start." Sighs Eddie sadly.
"That's what family is for, we can either face this together or let you drown, please just think about it, okay?" Replies Stewie with a slight smile.
"Okay, I really hope so, I'll call you sometime tomorrow." Says Eddie and then walks off.
Later back inside.
Eddie comes in and sits down on the side of the bed and looks at Meg's sleeping form, "I really hope we can fix this…For the both of us." He sighs sadly not sleeping much the rest of the night.
The next day.
"I'm taking Patty and Molly to the park to meet Drista, are you sure you don't want to come?" Asks Meg getting ready to leave.
"Naw, thanks though I'm meeting Stewie for some help on my sleeping problem." Replies Eddie looking up from his phone.
"No problem, just be careful, okay?" Meg says coming by and kissing his cheek before heading out of the door, "Come on girls we gotta move." She says to them.
"I really hope he knows what he's doing, but Stewie has surprised me before." Eddie says to himself looking at his phone when it goes off, "Yo what's up?" He asks, answering.
"So I need you too head to boom boom chubby choom choom's apartment." Says Stewie.
"Who?" Asks Eddie.
"Junior." Replies Stewie.
"Oh…I'll be there in 20." Says Eddie before heading out.
Later at Junior's.
(Stewie and Eddie are taking the secret elevator in Junior's apartment down to the sub-level of the apartment building.)
"How'd he get the permits for this from the owner, for this?" Asks Eddie.
"Not, not uh sure." Replies Stewie, clicking his tongue.
"I wonder what cool stuff they have down here." Eddie says slightly excited.
"I wouldn't touch anything." Replies Stewie briefly.
"Why?" Asks Eddie curiously.
"Might die." Replies Stewie quickly.
"Oh…." Says Eddie putting his hands to his side.
(The door opens and Stewie and Eddie walk out of the elevator and a familiar red headed curly haired man in a lab coat looks up at them.)
"Oh come on people, are we just letting anyone in here now!?" Shouts the Red haired scientist looking at them in annoyance raising his hand up.
"Shut up Ned, we need to see Junior." Replies Stewie pushing past him.
"Well that's too bad you don't have the clearance." Says Ned hoping to stop them.
"This clearance enough for ya'?" Asks Stewie turning around and flipping him the bird then walking off with Eddie.
"Well I, never." Replies Ned in a huff.
"Who was that?" Asks Eddie following Stewie but glancing back quickly.
"A red headed dick, who cares?" Replies Stewie, still leading Eddie through winding doors and hallways until they come upon Junior standing next to two beds and a machine his back to them.
"What the hell is this place?" Asks Eddie in awe.
"Yeah, I know you have a lot of questions but let me ask, warm milk, knockout pill, or magical dream stick?"Asks Stewie digging through a box on the countertop
"Dafuq is a magical dream stick?" Asks Eddie before seeing Stewie swing a baton at him cracking him on the head knocking him out cold.
"I told you to stop using that on people." Says Junior turning around.
"I know but it's so damn handy and Quagmire sells them on wholesale below resale value so I'm pretty much getting my money's worth." Stewie chuckles out.
In the Other World.
"Holy shit, what the hell happened!?" Eddie asks, sitting back up clutching his head when he hears someone knock on the door making him look up, blink a few times, rub his eyes then you see them glaze over.
"Eddie, where's the party at buddy?" Stewie's voice says ringing out from behind the door.
"Oh God he's drunk again, why did I promise to hang with him today the other day?" Eddie asks himself.
Back in the Main World.
"Are you ready to head in?" Asks Junior, readying himself.
"Hold on." Stewie motions Junior to come see the brain monitor.
"What's wrong, are we doing this or not?" Asks Junior walking up.
"You see that?" Asks Stewie pointing at the screen, "There's two brain signatures here when there's only supposed to be one."
"What do you mean?" Asks Junior.
"It means we might be F'd in the A here, we aren't risking going into the dream world if there's two signatures we have no clear way of knowing what one is our Eddie's, we might have really fucked up sending him back in, may he be able to find his way back soon…so wanna go get tacos?" Asks Stewie walking off.
"And y'all call me fat, but sure I can eat." Replies Junior following him.
Back in the Other World with Eddie.
Stewie is in Eddie's apartment room dancing swinging his shoulders back and forth singing.
Let's go, oots oots.
Be sloots in cahoots oots oots.
We're gonna shoooot for da moon!
KIA!
"I am so fucking hyped right now!" Shouts Stewie finishing by punching his arms and kicking his foot into the air.
"Yay…you brought loud energy into my home.." Says Eddie wishing this was already over.
"I know, right?" Asks Stewie putting his hands on his hips and looking Eddie in the eyes smiling eerily like he's on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"I don't think you're really listening here, and wouldn't you like to just go lie down?" Asks Eddie pleading with his eyes hoping this would be over.
"To McJiggers!" Exclaims Stewie, completely ignoring Eddie running out the door motioning for him to follow.
"Ugh…Retard…"Sighs Eddie trailing behind Stewie begrudgingly.
Later at McJiggers.
(Stewie is drunkenly rambling to Eddie at the bar.)
"And (Hic) Micky says I'm starting to be a problem, right?" Stewie drunkenly utters out to Eddie.
"I'm starting to think you are." Sighs out Eddie his head lying in his hand as it sits atop the bar top.
"Naw our partners don't understand us you know man, maybe true happiness isn't meant for either of us." Sighs Stewie to Eddie then finishes slamming his drink when suddenly a woman's voice sings out a rendition of Tempted by The Hazelnuts
T-E-M-P-T-E-D...
Tempted!
(Eddie turns around to see a woman with pink rimmed eyeglasses and raven's black hair singing with two other women.)
I was tempted...
Tempted by your smile...
I was tempted...
(Her eyes lock with Eddie's.)
And for a little while...
I was certain!
(She brushes back her hair and smiles at him.)
That I will be the one to change you!
And you will be mine! (Ooh, you will be mine!)
(Eddie's eyes glaze over enamored with her and she gives him a wink.)
"Bartender give me the strongest thing of Jack you got and a new pair of pants, someone seems to have pissed in mine!" Calls out a clearly smashed Stewie looking down at his crotch before falling forward onto the bar top.
Later after the show.
The woman who was singing comes sauntering up to Eddie smiling at him, "Glad you liked the show." She says.
"What, who me?" Stammers out Eddie nervously.
"No the guy who smells like pee laying next to you at the bar, yes you." The Woman laughs out playfully.
"Kindred..(burp) Spirits Eddie." Stewie says, holding out his arm pointing up.
"So Eddie is it?" Says The Woman still smiling.
"Yeah, and yeah you're great oops sorry I mean you were great." Eddie says, stumbling over his words.
"My name's Gemma, Gemma Tronic you can call me Gem." She says, reaching out to shake his hand looking him in the eyes and you see they are even more glassy than before, "Let's get out of here." She says with a smile but as she was saying that you see in her glasses and where Eddie's reflection is supposed to be you see the figure of the Shadow Person looking to be mouthing the words along with Gemma.
"Sure." Replies Eddie in an almost hypnotized manner.
"Wait!," Says Stewie making Eddie and Gem turn towards him, "Let's take my car." Smiles Stewie holding up his keys.
"So where are we going?" Asks Eddie as Gem who's driving as Stewie leans out the window puking his brains out.
"I know a place." Says Gem and they drive to the pier.
(Eddie and Gem are laying on the front of Stewie's car as Where Do We Go From Here by Al Bairre begins playing.)
But of the human race somebody else already won!
(Eddie and Gem are laughing together pointing at the sky.)
Nothing ever really happens, you get old and then you're done!
(Eddie looks lovingly at Gem.)
If you're thinking that you matter!
You've been thinking you were fun!
'Till you noticed you've been counting when you stared up at the sun!
(The camera pans up showing a passed out in the back of the car.)
And count up to a hundred, but forget about the one!
99 other solutions, but you found a problem!
(It shows them at the Quahog Aquarium.)
I could call you from the water as soon as I find the bottom.
(Eddie points at an octopus.)
I could tell you about your daughter!
Looking much more like your son!
(Gem points at a pair of tortoises that look the same.)
I fell in love at the open houses!
I felt a little bit broken about it!
I fell in love at the open houses!
(A janitor sees a passed out Stewie laying on a bench he looks around and picks him up and begins waltzing with him.)
You know, I know!
You know, I'll follow you, but!
Where do we go from here?!
Later Gemma and Eddie are walking back to Eddie's apartment.
"You sure your friend is okay." Asks Gemma looking back at Stewie now looking pale as a ghost laying in the back of the hatchback car as a bird lands on Stewie's face and he suddenly begins coughing and pukes up on it causing it to fly away.
"He'll be fine." Chuckles Eddie as they get to Eddie's Apartment room, "Do you want to come in?" He asks.
Gemma pauses then says, "No I can't it was fun but I'm not feeling it anymore I should be going." She says heading back to Stewie's car pushing him onto the sidewalk and driving off.
"Wha, what's going on?" Says Stewie waking up.
"She's gone off with your car." Sighs Eddie.
"Ah that's nice." Yawns out Stewie then his eyes go wide and he shouts, "My vodka was in there!"
"I think it's her vodka now." Says Eddie looking down the road.
Taking a sprinter's stance Stewie says "The hell it is, this isn't the first car I've chased down for vodka and it certainly won't be the last!" And he starts running after her.
"Whelp I'm going to head to bed." Eddie says stretching then going back to his apartment to head to bed as he does you see the Shadow Person watching and it angrily stomps its foot and dissapears.
