I started seeing for the first time. He helped me realize I was in love with Lois. I talked about it with her and we agreed we'd just be friends. Life would have continued on as usual in Petoria, that is until Peter decided to bring back Quahog's yearly harvest festival parade. He and the guys came together. Peter decided to make a parade float based on that episode of Who's the Boss? Where Tony Sees Angela Naked in the shower. We had to make sure it wasn't too risky and had to change it up. Angela was now coming out of the bathtub and covering herself with a towel while Tony was just standing there awkwardly. Peter wanted to have a whole wall and show the shower but we vetoed that idea since the people on both sides of the street had to be able to see the whole scene. We exaggerated the faces so it just came off like a comic scene without the context. No parents complained since we made sure to play it just safe enough. The bathtub was changed to one of those old porcelain white ones too. We ended up winning. I always wondered it was because Peter was still the ruler[1]
So yeah… we got a Trophy. All of us wanted it and so we came to a mutual understanding to have the trophy held up by the two figures in the middle of the street. Then one day we woke up to find it missing and everyone started blaming each other.
Spooner Street suddenly turns monochrome. A man in suit with combed hair crosses his hands and looks to the camera.
"I offer you a recipe. Combine one part small-town neighborhood with a dash of missing trophy and what you're left with is a gumbo fit only for a madman. A gumbo served almost exclusively in The Twilight…"
Peter notices him.
"Hey, who the hell is that? I bet he took the trophy! Get him!"
They run to him, but white wooden door suddenly appeared. He stepped through it and closes behind it. The Door and the man vanished before the men, leaving them all confused.
They were no longer blaming each other. Now they were scared that something else was at work.
"Who was that?" Asked Peter.
"I don't know. He looked kinda like…"
Objects floated in space.
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much worse Prepare to enter:
THE SCARY DOOR
The Same white door the figure walked through now appears and opens to reveal the title of the show.
Joe paused the TV.
Peter spoke first. "So you're saying the one who stole our trophy is a…. 60's TV Show host?"
"Meg got a job working at Flappy Jack's House of Pancakes. She brought me with her and they hired her because they thought she was my mom. She would make up lies to her customers to get better tips until Child Services looked into it and discovered that I was lying. Her boss fired her for lying.
Brian was currently digging the trophy into the backyard with a shovel.
" Submitted for your approval: A family pet with the uncontrollable urge to bury shiny objects in the yard. A shameful secret that nearly buried the peace and civility of an entire neighbor…"
Brian's shovel hit the mans head[2]. It bounced off. The figure turned to face him. He doesn't seem made. Brians' eyes widen and he drops the shovel.
"I'm sorry."
"Brain Griffin" said the man, as if he was introducing him to as the main character to an invisible audience.
"Who are you? What do you want?, and what do you look like Rod Serling?"
" Because I am Rod Serling."
"But he's dead."
" I have moved beyond death. I have become an ideal."
Brian's mind was racing.
" What are you?…"
"A Man both nowhere and everywhere all at the same time."
As he spoke he vanished with the word nowhere and then appeared in multiple places, including sitting or standing on the roofs of the houses and standing in a circle around Brian, and on the various sidewalks and lawns facing in every direction.
"Answers are new Questions. The unthinkable is the expected."
Brian was now frustrated.
"Stop talking in riddles and just answer me. Can't any of your answers be normal?"
"Normal? This planet has seen extra-terrestrials, demons, gods, and so many great and terrible things, Brian Griffin. Stop to ask yourself one question?"
He leaned in a bit closer.
"Just what dimension are you in?"
Brian froze and the man walked past him to a white door. Somehow, the dog could hear the music as the figure stepped through the door.
"Wait!"
Serling turned back.
"What do you believe I have to teach you?"
"I want to be a writer."
There was a knock at the Griffin house door. Peter answered it. There was a man with a cloak which rendered his entire head unseeable and a scythe in his hand.
The figure then collapsed forward.
"Who-Who are you?"
He didn't expect the voice that came out. It was more sarcastic.
"I'm Callista Flockhart. Who the hell do you think I am? I'm death."
He looked at that them.
"Which one of you is Peter Griffin"
"Umm…"
Peter pointed to Chris.
"He is."
"Wait so you're telling me..?"
Death reiterated it again.
"You were supposed to die. Just prior to Y2K actually? A Giant Chicken was supposed to kill you"
Peter now realized there were a lot of times he really should have died during that fight.
"…but I lost track of a few people when the rapture happened. Do you have any idea how frustrating that is? A lot of people died, then everything reset. Everyone alive again. 6 years of hard work all for nothing. I thought I'd get a vacation but then Y2k happens and the nukes... More work for me. Now some asshole jumped me and broke my leg!"
"Who?"
"I don't know! I didn't get a good look at them!"
Brian thinks for a moment and his eyes widened.
"This just in…It appears that everyone in the world has stopped dying."
-Diane Simmons, Quahog Channel 6,
Peter looked nervously at his targets on the plane.
His mission: to kill the kids fromDawson's Creek.
Somehow he always knew he would be the one to do this. As soon as he'd seen the show he loudly stated he was going to kill those kids. He hadn't known how right he was. James Van Der Beek was speaking with someone.
"Look, James, your last movie killed at the box office. Your Q-rating's through the roof. It's time we ditched the WB and concentrate on features."
"Sir, I don't know who you are, but just because you're sitting across from me doesn't mean you can give me career advice."
"Oh... Will you sign my ass?"
"You have a pen?"
Peter went to the bathroom and called on the phone.
"Hello, Death? Guess where I'm calling from? A plane!"
"That's great. Listen, those kids on board?"
"Yeah. About that, I don't think I can go through with it."
"Peter, listen, without death, the world would be a terrible place. Imagine a world where Hitler was still alive."
Peter thought about it.
_
"Today on "Hitler!", we'll be talking with Hollywood hunk, Christian Slater."
Hitler sat at a talk show host desk. Christian Later on the opposite side.
"Now, they tell me in your next movie, we get to see your butt?"
Girls in the audience cheer and laugh.
" Yes, yes, you do."
There is laughter.
Hitler look awkwardly down.
" Can we see it right now?"
The audience oohs. Slater exaggerates thinking about it.
" Well, all right, Hitler."
"Oh! He's going to do it!"
It cuts away to the title of the show, the name Hitler and a caricature of his face.
If you're going to be in the Los Angeles area, und would like tickets to Hitler call 213-du werdest eine Krankenschwester brauchen!
"If you kill those kids I'm not going to have anything to watch...other than those lovely shows on Fox."
"Look, Peter, all you gotta do is sit there. The plane is gonna crash in LA. Pilot error. Big mess. Everybody dies."
"Jeez, everybody?"
"Except you. Hold on, I'm getting another call. "
"Brenda?"
"Still me."
"Brenda?"
"Yes?….:
"Just kidding, it's still me."
"Hey, open up in there!"
Peter managed to force his way through the door to the Cockpit.
"Hey, what are you doing? You're not a pilot!"
" I'm here to keep you from making an error. A pilot error."
He reached out towards them, touching them both. They fell down dead.
"Jeez, I probably should've worn mittens!"
James Dan Der Beek saw what had happened.
" Nice going, fat…"
" Hey, I was just trying to save your lives. But now you're all gonna die. No one can land this plane."
A Woman stepped up.
" I can."
"Thank God! It's Karen Black!"
The cast of Dawson's Creek only stared.
" She landed a busted plane in "Airport '75"? "
" It was a movie, in the '70s. "
"Ah, you damn kids with your music."
"Both of the pilots were killed. Fortunately for the other passengers, actress Karen Black, star of such films as "Nashville" and "Five Easy Pieces," was on board."
"Our hats are off to Miss Black for proving once again, that, given the opportunity, actresses over 50 can land large aircraft."
-Quahog News report.
"Hey, what the hell? I told you to waste those kids from "Dawson's Creek."
Lois jumped between Death and Peter.
"You're missing the important thing here. You said you wanted everyone to know the rules of death apply. And now the whole world does."
Death thought for a moment.
"Yeah, I guess so. You know, my ankle's starting to feel better. I should probably get out of your hair."
" THE KING AND I"
A Peter Griffin Joint
"Peter Griffin's the King and I completely butchers the source material. It turns it into a Flash Gordon style Movie with a lot of sex and violence. I'm sure the audience only applauded because it was over, or they were being polite… and the sad thing is I liked it."
-Critic Jay Sherman.
"Peter nearly gave up a boat for a Mystery Box. Good thing I talked him out of it. He still complains he never got to know what was in that box"
-Diary of Lois Griffin.

Gumbel 2 Gumbel: Beach Justice
Gumbel 2 Gumbel: Beach Justice is a spinoff of Gumbel 2 Gumbel, starring Bryant and Greg Gumbel, playing comedic versions of themselves as police officers, now in Miami. The Series was cancelled by NBC on April 4, 2000….[3]
… Peter Griffin contacted the Grant-A-Dream Foundation and claimed that his son, Chris Griffin, was terminally ill with a disease he called "tumasyphilisitisosis," and that his terminally ill son wished for there to be a revival of the show. The show runners were informed and the two Gumbels visited the Griffins with a special being filmed and played for Chris Griffin. This caused a massive controversy when the entire thing was revealed to be a lie."
"Ordinarily Peter wouldn't qualify for the position of School President but on the grounds of being the leader of Petoria, he let himself run. Of course, he wasn't actually very popular and Lois was running. Peter's real reason to run was saving the job of an old teacher of his named Mr. Fargus, who was arrested when he used arrested endangered Californian Condor Eggs in an egg drop event.
"VOTE PETER GRIFFIN."
"Together we can beat my wife."
-Peter Griffin campaign ad.
Peter ended up winning, which nearly destroyed the marriage with Lois until he agreed to bring her onboard, eventually giving the job to her anyway after running it and proved disastrous for him. He also received assistance from James Carville, a former member of Cinton's team[4, who was also hoping to maintain a good relationship between Petoria and the Democratic United States, which was in the middle of voting whether or not to join the US remnants or California. Peter did introduce the XLK robots[5] to safeguard the schools, which was extremely controversial and they were eventually removed. They were used as border security and by police instead.
-Brian Griffin's journal.
Peter was taken to "Bob's Funland and Putt Putt Golf" for his birthday but he got us kicked out for public disturbance. It hurt his pride. Chris tried to cheer him up by making a painting for him. Peter put it in his car and someone saw it. An Art Dealer named Antonio Monatti picked his work out, buying eh painting for $5,000 Dollars and brought Peter and Chris to New York. He advertised him as Christobel, and Chris met and eventually began a relationship with Kate Moss, who was 26 at the time while Chris was 15. Meg on the other hand discovered she could summon birds and began to look for ways to summon them. She ended up accidentally summoning Big Bird[6, and the two became friends. He got him a spot on Sesame Street as an assistant. Stewie also got a start as a model for Calvin Klein's new Diaper line. This was a great comfort as Chris's art was badly received at the unveiling at the Monatti Gallery and Monatti himself pulled support.
[1] The Parade float in the actual episode would not work if an audience is not looking at it form a specific side. Its also different from the scene it depicts.
[2] This blow succeeded in incapacitating Serling but here Serling is something more powerful based upon his depiction in the final episode of the First Season of the Twilight Zone Reboot as a kind of Spirit.
[3] In real life, the Gumbel brothers are Sportcasters not actors.
[4] The Monica Lewinsky Scandal didn't happen ITTL as the events of the Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror led to Clinton's death in 1996, so James Carville is less widely known without defending Clinton.
[5] The XLK robots are based on the ED-209 fromRobocop, which could have happened at some point in this universe being "The Not too distant future" from the 80's. Kenny in South Park's Halloween Episode also used an ED-209 as a costume, and it was essentially just the robot, making it very impressive.
[6] Meg did accidentally summon Big bird in the episode and he was mad about it. The Simpsons also implied the Sesame Street casts were actual creatures and not puppets. Here Big Bird is much nicer to Meg. Chris does briefly date Kate Moss in the Episode and the age gap isn't brought up but its not uncommon among Celebrities.
