A Tale of Two Doggies

Chapter 1: The Dogs Meet

Stewie and Brian finally make it to San Fransisco to find whom Stewie believes is his real father. What Stewie doesn't know is that the person they're looking for is actually Stewie from 30 years in the future (also known as "Stu"). The two friends reach the hotel with a car they rented and get inside.

"All right," Stewie started. "Let's split up and try to find him."

The two do so. While Stewie was taking one elevator, Brian was taking another. He pressed a button one by one that would lead to clues to find Stu. However, no clues were found so far.

At the next to topmost floor, after Brian searched, another dog got into the elevator. He was exactly the same size as Brian, except he was a different breed. He looked like he was either a pit bull or a mix between a German Shepard and an Italian Greyhound. His fur was somewhat of a greyish brown, with some cream from his nose all the way to his belly. He was wearing a black collar. The dog was talking on a cellular phone.

"Okay, Leo," the dog said with an Italian-American accent. "I'm gonna be checking out pretty soon, because the convention is over. I'll call you back." As soon as he said this, he hung up and put the phone away.

Brian looked at the dog, whistling. Afterwards, he started talking to the dog. "Hello," he said. "Wonderful day you're having."

"Thanks," the other dog replied. "What's your story?"

"Well, anyway," Brian said, "I'm on this quest to help a friend find who may be his real father, and, well, I just wanted to wish him luck."

"Really?" the other dog replied. "Maybe I can help you in any way that I can."

"Great," Brian said, enjoyed. "But first, introductions. I'm Brian," he said, offering a handshake.

"Vinny," the other dog said, shaking Brian's hand.

"Oh, wow," Brian said. "That's a cool name."

"It's short for Vincenzo," Vinny replied. "It's an Italian name."

"Really?" Brian said. "I have an Italian collar back home. My friend's wife gave it to me for a dog show I competed in not too long ago," Brian said, referring to the events of Brian: Portrait of a Dog.

"So, whaddaya say, Brian?" Vinny asked. "You need my help?"

"Absolutely," Brian answered.

The two dogs exited the elevator. As soon as they take their first steps into the topmost floor, Brian checks the window, while Vinny was checking one of the rooms, and sees Stu exiting the hotel. Gasping in surprise, his first response was, "That's him." He called to Vinny, getting his attention, "Hey! I found him!"

Vinny saw what Brian saw. "Wow, you're right," Vinny said.

Just then, the two dogs saw Stewie jumping out of a window to get to Stu, only to land in a dumpster.

"Is that your friend?" Vinny asked Brian, referring to Stewie.

Brian answered, "Yes."

As soon as Stewie saw Stu entering the Taxi cab, he got to the car he and Brian rented after shooing away the Jawas inspecting it. "Ahh!" he said to them, getting their attention, before they ran off. "Utedee! Utedee!" As soon as the Jawas left, he muttered to himself, "Filthy creatures."

Stu got into the car and drove off to catch the Taxi cab, not noticing that Brian and Vinny were exiting the hotel.

"Dammit," Brian said. "Stewie took our rental."

"Not to worry, Brian," Vinny said, getting his attention. "We can take my rental."

They got into Vinny's rental car and followed Stewie all the way up to Powell and Market, where Stewie crashed into a fruit stand.

"Damn!" Stewie exclaimed. "Why is there always a fruit stand?"

As the fruit stand cutaway is getting set up, Brian exits Vinny's rental and catches up to Stewie.

"Stewie, are you all right?" Brian asked, running to the car.

"Brian?" Stewie said, his attention to the dog. "What are you doing here? I thought you were at the hotel."

"I was," Brain answered. "But when I saw you jump out of the window, a friend and I followed you."

"A friend?" Stewie repeated. "Brian, who are you talking about?"

Vinny exited his rental. "He's referrin' to me, bambino," he said, addressing himself to Stewie.

"Who are you?" Stewie asked Vinny.

"Stewie," Brian began, "this is Vinny. He just checked out of the hotel after his convention was over. Now he's helping me help you find your real father."

"Oh," Stewie replied. "Well, it's always nice to have some extra help."

Vinny chuckled. "Well, I guess we betta keep searchin'," he suggested. "Brian and I will try to follow the Taxi cab."

"Very well," Stewie agreed. "I'll search the outskirts of the city, even if it takes all day. Oh, and Brian?"

"Yeah?" Brian replied.

"In case I never see either you or Vinny again," Stewie started, handing him a test tube, "take this as a parting gift. It has a strand of my hair."

"Why are you giving me this?" Brian asked.

"I never told you this before we left Quahog," Stewie began again, "but I have a cloning machine in my room. Put this test tube in the machine and set it to stable. I don't want Lois to see me melt. Goodbye, Brian."

As Stewie left to search for Stu, Vinny asked, "Quahog? As in 'Quahog, Rhode Island'?"

"Yeah," Brian answered. "Why are you asking?"

"I live in Quahog," Vinny answered.

Brian was amazed. "Oh, that's great, Vinny!" he said. "Maybe you can visit me sometime."

"Yeah," Vinny replied. "Maybe I can."

Sometime later in San Fransisco, Brian and Vinny have searched everywhere, but have still found no traces of where Stu went. Brian felt pretty exhausted.

"Oh, God, Vinny," Brian said. "I feel like we have searched the entire city. Oh, well, I guess we'll never know the answer to who Stewie really is."

"Maybe not us," Vinny said, noticing something, "but I believe Stewie already has."

"What are you talking about?" Brian asked.

Just then, he saw Stewie and Stu exiting the trolly. Stewie has just reached Stu.

"Look, I've already said enough," Stu said to Stewie, having told him everything about time travel. "I really should be getting back."

"You can't just leave me," Stewie demanded. "I really must know my future."

"Sorry," Stu apologized, "it's against the rules. Goodbye, Stewie."

As soon as Stu activated his time travel watch, Stewie jumped onto his back. "Surprise!" Stewie said as soon as he clinged onto Stu's back.

Just then, Stu and Stewie teleported out of our time. Brian was shocked.

"Oh, my God," Brian said. "They just disappeared."

Vinny, too, was shocked. "I guess," he started, "this means that the man you's was searchin' for wasn't Stewie's pops after all, but rather Stewie from the future."

"Huh," Brian thought. "That must explain the sci-fi teleportation effect. I wonder what it would be like in the future."

"I guess we'll never know, Brian," Vinny replied. "But look on the bright side, you found the man you were lookin' for."

"Yes," Brian agreed. "But how am I going to explain this to Lois and Peter? They'll be worried if they find Stewie missing."

"Not quite, Brian," Vinny disagreed. "You got that test tube Stewie gave ya'."

"You're right," Brian agreed, "there's that." Then he realized, "Say, Vinny, now that I know you live in Quahog, would you offer me a ride back?"

"Anything for a friend," Vinny answered.

The two dogs took a plane on the way back to Rhode Island. Inside the plane, Brian and Vinny were watching an in-flight movie. Brian is glad to have a friend who is also a dog.

"This is amazing that you offered me a plane ride back to Quahog, Vinny," Brian said to his new friend. "This experience is better than that trip to India last Summer."

Cutaway: We see Brian riding an elephant in India.

"This is boring," he said that time.

One night outside the Griffin house, Vinny drops Brian off in his car. Brian exits the car and waves at his new friend.

"Well, so long, Vinny," Brian said. "I hope to see you again sometime."

"Likewise, Brian," Vinny replied.

As soon as the car drove away, Brian entered through the kitchen door without Peter or Lois noticing as they were watching TiVo. He opens his mouth without making a sound. Just then, Robo-Brian, which Stewie activated before he and Brian left, comes downstairs all the way to the kitchen, where Brian turns him off.

"Thanks for filling in for me, Robo-Brian," Brian said to his robot counterpart.

He goes upstairs to Stewie's bedroom with a dog biscuit in hand, with Peter and Lois still taking no notice. As soon as Brian enters the bedroom, he eats the dog biscuit and puts the test tube inside the cloning machine. However, he makes another simple adjustment, as well as set the machine to stable.

"There," Brian said. "Now, let's see how nice this clone turns out to be."

The machine activates, and a clone of Stewie has awakened. He has a smile on his face and is wearing a blue shirt with cyan overalls. The first thing the clone did was greet Brian, saying, "Hello, Brian. I'm Nice Stewie."

"Hello," Brian answered. "You wouldn't believe the day I had."
